The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 23 The End of the Ancient Blood
Sunset on the third day after arriving in the witcher world. Sintra Royal Palace, in the small restaurant.
The place has obviously been rearranged. The iron-gray chandeliers are filled with candles, with 32 candles lit.
An oil painting in the middle of the side wall was replaced, and the newly hung portrait was not new, but looked very old.
In the center of the portrait are His Majesty Goydema and Queen Leianlen sitting on the throne. Next to the queen are two girls, Adela in a black dress, Fiona in a white dress, and next to the king. Prince Amavit.
Marvin still remembered that when the artist painted this painting, he had just returned to Vizima from the Academy of Arethusa. It seemed like it was before May Day, and the family of four stayed in this position for an hour. At that time, he felt that his face was almost stiff. It took the painter three full days to complete the painting.
"This is not the original painting, but the one that Queen Fiona asked the painter to copy when she married to Cintra." Calanthe stood aside and introduced, "I still remember my grandmother telling your story when I was a child. Oh, My maternal grandmother was Aeron, the daughter of Cram II and Fiona."
It seemed that Mossak had already talked to the Queen, and Calanthe finally admitted that he was Prince Amavit, and this was how they had a dinner similar to a family dinner.
However, Marvin really didn't care. It doesn't matter if the prince's status is better or not.
For this dinner, the palace attendant also sent a gorgeous aristocratic costume. Velvet fabrics, bright embroidery, neck-strangling lace collars, and leggings that Marvin hated.
Tsk tsk tsk, the aesthetics of the nobles really have not improved at all. What kind of man likes to wear tight pants? Don't you think it's hairy on your legs?
So Marvin just changed out of his inner armor and coat, put on a robe and followed the waiter to dinner.
90 years have passed, and both King Goidema and Queen Leianlun are just ordinary people and must have passed away. Fiona is definitely gone too...
Marvin pointed to the girl in the black dress in the portrait and asked, "Where's Adela? What happened to her in the end?"
Queen Calanthe, Esther Tursek, and Mossak looked at each other, they really didn't know.
Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Marvin knew that there was no answer to this question here, and there was a high probability that Adela was already gone.
Ordinary people's life span in this world is very short. After all, the environment is still too bad and the sanitary conditions are far from good.
Although there are no specific statistics, Marvin estimates that the average life expectancy of civilians may be less than 40 years old. The nobles can grow a little, but they don't grow much.
Marvin wouldn't feel sad about it, so he just sat down and ate in peace.
He couldn't feel at ease for long, and soon he was entangled by Princess Sirila who was sitting next to him.
The following is their conversation:
Are you really over a hundred years old?
Um.
Why does your mother look older than you?
Marvin did not answer, because Princess Cirilla was being chased and beaten by the queen...
Are you really better than Uncle East?
real.
Do you know magic?
Marvin turned the juice in his glass into ice pucks.
Are you more powerful or Grandpa Mossak is more powerful?
I'm awesome.
Where is your raven?
Sleeping...
In short, Marvin was extremely annoyed and helpless.
…
Dinner was finally over. The palace cook's cooking skills were pretty good, although it was just meat and a little too single.
After the meal, Xili was driven back to her room to sleep, and the remaining four people moved to the meeting hall to drink tea and talk in secret.
This was what Marvin requested. He did have something to say to the three of them.
After the palace steward closed the door, Marvin released a raven to let him stand at the window to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Seeing Marvin being so careful, the other three also became serious.
Marvin didn't waste any time and threw the first bomb directly, "Emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emres..." He looked at Calanthe and said, "That's your son-in-law, Duny. ”
"The storm is coming!" Tursek exclaimed.
"Cough cough cough..." Mossack choked on his pipe.
"Three lions are on top!" The queen didn't believe it and asked, "Do you have evidence?"
"No. But I know he is Donnie, the man cursed to become a monster. Pavetta's husband."
"Wait..." Mossack raised his hand to stop the Queen from asking again, staring at the pipe in his hand and muttering, "Seven years ago, Pavetta and Duny went to Skellige and accidentally fell into the Senard Abyss. ...It was also the year Emhyr returned to the Golden Tower City, right?”
Snap! Tursek slapped the table, "Yes, he killed the usurper, and the Klett family also went to grab a vote. It was that year, the difference was only four months at most, I remember it clearly."
The Queen suddenly reacted and asked: "How did you know?"
Marvin asked in return: "Do you know about the blood of the ancients?"
The Queen and Tursek shook their heads blankly, but the Archdruid was still knowledgeable, "Are you talking about the Islini prophecy? Or... is there really ancient blood?" Note ①
Marvin nodded, "Yes, I am, I inherited part of Laura Dolan's prophecy ability. So I know. And... the white frost is real, and the Wild Hunt is real."
If all the gods and monsters are overthrown by Ancient Blood, no one will be able to expose him anyway.
Later, Mossack explained the rumors of the ancient blood and the Islini prophecy to the queen and his wife, plus Marvin's words. The queen and Tursek were stunned.
It took a long time before Tursek stammered: "Wild Hunt, isn't the Wild Hunt a legend?"
"It's not a legend, they are real..." The druid dug up the distant memories from the depths of his mind and said slowly, "The ice that freezes everything, the sea surface will freeze even in the storm season, riding a skeleton Horse demons, they are real. Little boy, you were not born yet."
Mossack smoked his pipe, his eyebrows knitted together, "If Islini's prophecy is true, then the world will eventually be destroyed? Bai Shuang..."
"Isliny's prophecy was not accurate." Marvin continued what he said, "In fact, I was not in this world in the past 90 years. I went to the Wild Hunt and killed them all. White Frost is not Will come."
Even the well-informed Mossack was stunned, "How did you do that?"
"Can't say." Marvin was too lazy to make it up, and he really couldn't say it.
The archdruid knew the importance, and there were some secrets that just couldn't be told. He no longer asked, but was calculating something, "90 years, 1263... It seems that no one has been captured by the Wild Hunt in these years. Already..."
Calanthe, a mortal king, suddenly knew such a world-class secret and was shocked. She finally came to her senses and asked, "Why are you telling us this?"
The other two people also reacted. It seemed that this had nothing to do with them, or even most mortals.
"Because of Cirilla." Marvin gave the answer directly, "I am not the only ancient blood, my sister Fiona is also, so, so is Cirilla."
"Then so am I?" the queen asked immediately.
Marvin glanced at her and shook his head, "You can no longer awaken your bloodline."
"The power of ancient blood is very mysterious and powerful. Many people secretly covet the power of this blood. When I was 17 years old, I was almost kidnapped by a warlock. When I was 19 years old, I encountered two wild hunts.
Now I can protect myself and even kill anyone who comes to trouble me, but Cirilla is still too young, and she will definitely face the same troubles as me in the future. "
Marvin continued to add, "Cirella is destined to awaken the power of blood, so don't raise her as an ordinary princess, and don't get her engaged early. Her life is destined to be extraordinary. Moreover, she must do it as soon as possible. Learn how to protect yourself.”
Finally, Marvin made the first real request for tonight's conversation, "There must be at least a group of people near Sintra waiting to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Sirilla."
Tursek slammed the table, stood up suddenly and roared: "Who is it?!"
"Maybe a mage, maybe a Nilfgaardian."
"Why?" Calanthe asked in surprise, "Nilfgaardian?"
"If you are defeated in the Manada Valley, if you and Tursek die, if Sirila is captured by the Nilfgaardians. Emperor Emhyr is still Sirila's biological father..." Marvin He spread his hands, "What will happen next?"
"Hiss..." The queen's political sense was still keen, she said fearfully, "Then he can legitimately control the entire Cintra. Isn't that right? No one knows that he is Sirilla's father?"
Marvin asked, "What if he married Cirilla?"
"Bastard!" Tursek almost hammered the table apart. "Shit! It's so disgusting."
It's not like there is no inbreeding in the Skellige Islands, but it will definitely be scorned by others, let alone with your own children... It's so disgusting.
The archdruid also had a dark face.
Calanthe stood up and said, "I'll make arrangements right away!"
"Wait a minute..." Mossack stopped the queen and pointed at Marvin, "He probably hasn't finished speaking yet."
Marvin nodded and continued: "I suggest you consider telling part of the truth to Cirilla and help her find a good teacher. Try swordsmanship, magic, and riding. She should have good fighting talent. And , Cirilla doesn’t look like she can be a lady, does she?”
"Magic?" This word seemed to touch the Queen's sensitive nerves. She frowned and expressed her opinion, "Magic is evil. Cirilla should not..."
This was after she admitted that Marvin was his ancestor. Otherwise, Calanthe would have become angry if anyone dared to mention magic in front of him.
"Because of your daughter Pavetta, right? Did she get into some trouble as a teenager?" Note②
Marvin tilted his head and squinted at the Queen, with disdain on his face, and cursed loudly, "Do you even know that it's called the 'Devil Source'?"
He pointed at himself and said, "I am also a 'Demon Source'. I awakened from the Demon Source when I was thirteen years old. Teacher Tishaya, the dean of Aretuza Academy, helped me awaken in the midsummer of August. I The magic wave that erupted during the awakening froze a quarter of Lake Vizima, but no one was injured. Do you know how many mages dream of this magical talent? Just ask!"
Marvin had wanted to complain about this for a long time, so he just took this opportunity to wake up this idiot.
He pointed at Mossak, "If there is an old guy like this, you ask! You can get to Gos Velen three days north by boat, and Arethusa Academy is right there. Just ask! What? If you blindly resist magic even if you don’t understand it, what’s the difference between you and those stupid farmers?”
There was a sudden blow in the palace meeting hall. The wind blew the candles swaying, the paper flew everywhere, and the temperature suddenly dropped.
Marvin pointed at the strong wind around him, "This is magic. Give me some time, and I can kill all the royal guards just standing here. This is magic! Can you just pretend it doesn't exist if you can't see it with your eyes covered?" ? Which royal magic advisor taught you such a fool?"
The archdruid next to him was a little embarrassed. He was the magic consultant. He had no choice. Cintra had been rejecting magic for a long time. Several generations of kings had been like this. Calanthe was just more extreme.
"Evil? Power is divided into evil and justice? How funny..." Marvin put away the "Ice Blue Storm" that had not yet taken shape, kicked open the door of the meeting hall and left.
...
In the early morning of that night, a black shadow climbed out of a window on the second floor of the castle, swam on the outer wall to the third floor, accurately found Princess Cirilla's boudoir, and climbed in silently without attracting anyone's attention.
[Hint: The mission target Xilia Fiona Allen Lei Anlun was detected, the target was detected to be asleep, and no other intelligent creatures were detected nearby. Do you want to start blood transformation? 】【Yes】【No】
Select Yes.
[The blood transformation process is expected to last 1 hour and 25 minutes. Please ensure that there are no other intelligent creatures disturbing this process. 】
A ball of emerald green light enveloped Marvin, and the air exuded the fragrance of grass and trees.
The little girl who had just shown signs of being woken up fell asleep in the green light.
Marvin was too familiar with this, and he had experienced it too. He just didn't know whether Ciri's bloodline ability after transformation was the same as his.
What he and the raven on his shoulder didn't notice was that the emerald green light only spread to the door and window, and didn't leak out at all.
He remembered that he slept for 3 hours during the transformation, and according to Modus's records, the green light lasted for two and a half hours.
Ciri's transformation time was shorter, perhaps because she was too weak now, or perhaps because she hadn't awakened her bloodline...
Until the emerald green light dissipated, the little girl curled up in the fur mattress and slept soundly, Marvin climbed out of the window again and returned to his room.
[Hint: The task "Daughter of Destiny" has been completed, and the task evaluation is being calculated...]
[Hint: The task "Daughter of Destiny" has been completed, and the task evaluation is B. Reward free attribute points +8, Paradise Coins 1200. ]
[Hint: All tasks in this world have been completed... It has been detected that the pioneer 00000027 has extended the stay limit in this world. The remaining stay time is 30 days. ]
The reward is a bit low, but this is just a continuation of the previous task, and the difficulty is really low, so it doesn't matter if it's less. I made enough in the last world.
There is no more ancient blood in this world, no more wild hunts to capture slaves, and no more Ain El drilling holes in the boundary wall.
Marvin has a guess, is the unique celestial sphere intersection phenomenon in this world also due to the ancient blood and the Grand Gate?
Because of the void disturbance of the Grand Gate, the "nearby" world shook and collided, and the celestial sphere intersection occurred.
It may not be accurate, but it should be roughly the same.
If there is really no more celestial sphere intersection, there will be fewer and fewer monsters. Demon hunters will gradually lose business...
In my memory, from the rise of the White Wolf to the final defeat of the Wild Hunt by Ciri, the celestial sphere intersection occurred again.
Then at least the existing monsters can last for 20 to 30 years... Well, I hope those monsters can last for a few more years, come on!
Although Ciri is no longer an ancient blood, no one knows except Marvin. Even if he tells it out, no one will believe it, and it is likely to attract more wizards who covet power.
Therefore, Ciri will still encounter many dangers in the future. However, she is the daughter of destiny, and she will still walk her own legendary path.
…
Although the most important thing has been completed, Marvin did not leave, but stayed temporarily.
While continuing to learn summoning and portals, he waited for news from the city guards.
According to the original timeline he recalled and recorded, Emperor Emhyr took advantage of the attack on Cintra to send a spy team to capture Ciri.
He no longer remembers who was in the team, but not all of them were the emperor's people, and there were also spies from Vigfortz.
Therefore, Marvin really hopes to catch them and ask something.
The failed kidnapping attempt in Velen when he was 17 years old can't be let go.
He is narrow-minded and holds grudges.
He plans to stay in Cintra for a week. If there is no news in a week, he will have to move on to the next step.
The next day, Marvin did not see Calanthe and Esther Tursek, probably because he had embarrassed the queen that night. Fortunately, it was a private conversation, and it should be fine in a few days.
That night, Marvin was reading a book with the light ball of illumination on his head.
Suddenly, the illumination flashed and went out.
Everything around him became quiet, the wind stopped, even the ravens on the windowsill did not move, everything was paused...
...
Note ①: The original text of Islinni's prophecy:
It should be known that the time of sword and axe is near, it is the era of winter wolf wind and snow.
The time of white frost and white light is coming, it is the age of madness and contempt: Tedd Deireddh, the age of the end.
The world will die in the frost and be reborn under the new sun. That is also the time when the seeds sown by Hen Ichaer-the blood of the ancients
are reborn. This seed will not sprout, but will ignite a flame. Essu0027tuath esse! This is inevitable! Pay attention to the signs! To know what the signs are, listen to me:
First, the Aen Seidhe - the blood of the elves - will flood the land...
You should all wail, for the destroyer of nations is coming.
Your lands will be trampled and divided. Your cities will burn, and their inhabitants will flee.
Bats, night owls and crows will appear in your homes, and snakes and insects will also use them as nests...
Inheriting the consistent characteristics of all Eastern and Western prophecies, the main theme is a mysterious and mysterious one. Just read it and forget it, no need to delve into it.
Note ②: Princess Pavetta, the daughter of Calanthe, is also a magic source. When she was a teenager, the magic source broke out in the palace, destroying the entire banquet and injuring many nobles. Since then, the beautiful Princess Pavetta has been shrouded in curse rumors. Calanthe also hated magic more and more because of this.
Note: When writing this chapter, I suddenly thought of the so-called "East Asian demasculinization" for some reason.
In view of the fact that Xiaohongguo has many young readers, Boss Gao will not preach, otherwise some AIKUNs will say that I am preaching and engaging in conspiracy theories. Whether it is a conspiracy theory, you can think about it yourself, go and search this name: Johnny Kitagawa, and the Johnny \u0026 Associates founded by Kitagawa, and then find out where the word "idol" in the entertainment industry comes from. Finally, who is standing behind Kitagawa? There is no need to imagine these, they are all clearly recorded facts.
First, Xiao Ri was hit, then South Korean Oppa swept the world, and finally, all kinds of GIGIs were popular in Dongda. It's said that it's the first time, the second time, but not the third time. It's been three times, such a coherent operation, and then we lie to ourselves and say it's a conspiracy theory, doesn't it make us look brainless?
Why did South Korean Oppa sweep the world, but still fail to enter the Western entertainment circle, is it because they are not popular enough or the fathers of the US don't allow it?
Fortunately, we held on, thank the motherland! A strong youth means a strong country, and a smart youth means a smart country... Please!
