The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

"Oh, I'm late, I'm late, ah! Sorry for breaking your lamp." Gaunt O'Dimm lit the candle in the guest room with a wave of his hand, "I just realized you're back."

Marvin looked at the uninvited devil, and he was used to his elusiveness.

At this time, the guy who looked like Beckham was just a runny-nosed kid at most. The plot of "Heart of Stone" definitely hasn't started yet, what is he doing here?

Of course, he wouldn't say what was in his mind, but pointed at the raven on the windowsill, "That's my companion, let him go."

"Oh? It's rare for someone like you to have a companion." Master Mirror looked at the raven curiously, "What is this? A raven statue? No, a soul? This incomplete soul looks familiar... Uh, it seems that I can't be too curious. Okay, I'll let you go..."

The raven fluttered to Marvin's shoulder, hid behind Marvin's hair, and secretly looked at the devil.

Modus sent a message: "Boss, who is this? What did he do?"

Marvin: "I'll tell you later, don't talk. Record the video."

Modus: "Oh."

Gunter O'Dimm, of course, couldn't see their text communication, and looked at the man and the bird with interest.

When he was about to explore the origin of the raven just now, he was warned by the Void Tree, and now he was more curious about Marvin's current identity.

After comforting his companions, Marvin asked: "Any business?"

"Of course!" Master Mirror nodded.

Marvin made a gesture to ask him to speak.

"Don't worry..." Gunter O'Dimm was not in a hurry to send out tasks. He gave Marvin a thumbs up, "Well done! Those ice cubes can no longer mess around. Let's have a drink to celebrate?"

Marvin knew he was referring to the Wild Hunt, and he shook his head, "I don't drink."

"Alas, you are so boring." Master Mirror looked helpless, "You don't have to worry about being chased by the Wild Hunt anymore. What are you going to do in the future? Be a noble lord here?"

He really cared about his friend's subsequent life like an old friend. But in fact, it was almost a test that was barely covered.

The two cooperated happily. Marvin couldn't tell the truth, and he was too lazy to lie, so he chose not to answer and just looked at Master Mirror.

Gunter O'Dimm's shoulders collapsed, "It seems that I can't say it, so forget it. Does the previous agreement still count?"

Marvin is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a background behind him that he can't see clearly. Master Mirror is really worried that Marvin will not abide by the previous agreement.

If Marvin breaches the contract, he is confident that he can handle it, but it will be very, very, very troublesome.

Fortunately, he saw Marvin nodded.

"Huh... Great, you are a rule-abiding person." Gaunt O'Dimm began to issue tasks, "Well, there is not much to say this time. There is a small sect in the Skellige Islands called Melusin. Well, Melusin is actually a Hekna. Melusin is involved in a curse, and now the curse can be lifted. You help me to lift the curse, that's it, very simple."

Marvin asked: "No more information?"

The mirror master spread his hands: "No, you have to find the answer yourself."

[Task prompt: Melusin. Remove the Melusin curse. Task time limit: before leaving this world. Task failure penalty: unknown. ]

[Tip: The task "Melushin" is a special task, which comes from the unfinished contract between pioneer 00000027 and the devil clan Gaunt O'Dimm during the trial period. This contract complies with the initial regulations No. 30009564, and pioneer 00000027 has received the reward. Therefore, this task must be completed, otherwise there will be unknown risks. 】

The Paradise had already issued the mission, so Marvin could only nod, "Okay."

Gunter O'Dimm looked relieved, "That's good."

"Don't leave in a hurry." Marvin said, "You seem to prefer this world?"

Marvin would not just passively accept the temptation. He was also very curious about the identity of the Mirror Master, so of course he had to test it.

"You have killed those ice cubes, but don't you know that there are holes outside this world? Who would bother to go through the boundary wall when you can easily get in? Right?"

"Alas..." The devil sighed again, "But it won't be long before you can get in. The door was blown up by you, and the boundary wall will heal itself... Don't think too much, that's a long time later. Anything else you want to ask?"

The devil is not stupid, he knows what Marvin is thinking. His race is not a small force in the void, and he is not afraid of people knowing it.

"You said Melusin is a Hekna..." Marvin continued to ask, "It shouldn't be difficult for you, right? Why do you have to find me?"

"Of course it's not difficult, but I don't want to do it myself. You know, I have my own rules. Besides..." Gaunt O'Dimm sat in Marvin's chair very familiarly, "You become stronger too fast, what if I can't beat you in the future? So, use up the next four times quickly."

The devil's answer was very direct, and there was no flaw in it.

Marvin didn't give up and continued to ask: "Your power system is very advanced, but it seems that you can't use it much in these two worlds. Why?"

Time stop, dimensional space... The power level displayed by the mirror master is really advanced, but Marvin remembers that the creatures he hurt in the game seem to be only ordinary people. That's why he asked this question.

Gaunt O'Dimm didn't answer a word, but just grinned and disappeared with a smile that deserved a beating...

In fact, he didn't need to answer, Marvin knew that he guessed right.

What's the reason? World suppression? Or is there another reason?

While Marvin was telling Modus about Gaunt O'Dimm's origin and their story, he was looking through the instructions of the Order Paradise.

It turns out that the Mirror Master is really a devil, and the devil is a race.

The task prompt says "Curse of Melusin" instead of "Curse of Melusin", so Melusin is not the caster.

And, Melusin is a Hekna.

Hekna is a superior monster of the siren, and only exists in the Skellige Islands. Marvin has not seen it yet, but has only seen pictures and introductions in the monster encyclopedia.

With only so much information, this task seems a bit troublesome.

He asked for help from the Order Paradise, hoping to get more information, but got no response.

The Order Paradise seemed to prefer him to explore on his own, and never gave a word more than the information given when the task was issued.

Anyway, we have to go to the archipelago, so let's talk about it later. Oh, you can also ask Mossak and Ister Tursek.

In fact, Gaunt O'Dimm could have said more, just like the task of President Eden. But he deliberately increased the difficulty of the task, just to see what other tricks Marvin had and whether he would reveal more. He thought this matter was much more interesting than the task itself.

…

The next morning, Marvin was summoned to the main hall of the palace by the queen. It seemed that the unpleasantness after dinner the day before yesterday was over?

After arriving at the main hall, he realized that a special person came to visit.

Mossak explained the whole story to Marvin.

In fact, he didn't need to explain too much...

About 20 years ago, under the planning of Vigfortz, Ensir Enris, who was aliased as Donny, saved Rogna's life. Rogna was Calanthe's first husband.

Donny also asked for a reward based on the accident rate, and the result of the accident rate was Princess Pavetta.

Many years later, Donny came to marry Princess Pavetta in the name of asking for a reward. In fact, he had already won the heart of Princess Pavetta with his eloquence and diligence.

Queen Calanthe didn't want to marry her daughter to a monster, so she invited the wolf-faction witcher Geralt.

Geralt didn't kill Duny, but kindly helped him to remove the curse.

Geralt asked for the reward in the accident rate.

So, the child in Pavetta's belly, who was pregnant before marriage, became Geralt's accidental child.

That child was Princess Cirilla. The fate of Ciri and the White Wolf began from then on.

When Ciri was 9 years old, that is, last year, the little girl accidentally broke into the Brokilon Forest because of escaping marriage and was rescued by the passing White Wolf. This was a meeting between Ciri and the White Wolf, and it was also a re-entanglement of the rope of fate...

Queen Calanthe sat on a chair in the front hall, with Ester Tursek by her side, and Marvin and Mossak standing in the front.

After Mossak finished speaking, Tursek spoke, "Your Highness Amavit, what you said that night made sense. Kalan and I have decided to let Cirilla learn something useful."

At this point, the former pirate king blinked. He actually agreed with Marvin's statement. Noble etiquette is bullshit. Only swords can protect one's own people. Oh, and magic.

Marvin scolded a little harshly the night before yesterday, so Tursek spoke this morning to avoid the queen's embarrassment and show his thoughtfulness.

He continued: "Well, Geralt of Rivia is a great demon hunter. We plan to let him be Cirilla's swordsmanship teacher. What do you think?"

This is the purpose of calling Marvin.

"Good idea." Marvin nodded and said, "A large part of my swordsmanship is learned from demon hunters. I have 4 demon hunter swordsmanship teachers. If you are worried that he will take Cirilla away and turn her into a demon hunter, there is no need. There is no female demon hunter." Note ①

Queen Calanthe finally spoke, "Really?"

Marvin asked back: "Have you heard of female demon hunters?"

Mossak shook his head.

Calanthe breathed a sigh of relief.

Marvin continued, "The witcher's trial is very cruel. Girls are weaker than boys and cannot survive the grass trial, so there are no female witchers. I know that witcher. The tree spirit gave him a very impressive name, White Wolf. He is very suitable."

With the approval of Prince Amavit, the prophet, and the ancestors, the queen finally made up her mind to meet the witcher.

He asked the guards to pick him up, and asked the palace steward to call Princess Cirilla out.

…

Marvin stood beside Mossak and looked at the man.

The milky white semi-long hair was casually scattered, revealing two sword handles on his shoulders, the wolf-faction witcher chain mail, a roaring wolf head pendant on his chest, a pair of tawny cat pupils, and a scar on his left face did not make him look very fierce, but more masculine. White Wolf, Geralt of Rivia.

At this time, Geralt's face was pale, his steps were a little weak, and there was a faint smell of blood and herbs on his body.

Among the people present, Mossak had the best relationship with Geralt. He went up to him and asked, "Are you injured?"

White Wolf nodded and did not dwell on it. "I heard that the Nilfgaardians attacked. It seems that the news was wrong?"

Mossak shook his head. "Yes, they did attack. We were almost finished. Thanks to..."

The druid recounted the course of the war, hiding many details that were inconvenient to disclose, such as what Marshal Menno said after being captured.

During this period, the demon hunter looked at Marvin with surprise from time to time.

"Geralt!" Suddenly, a girl's exclamation sounded next to him, and Princess Cirilla ran over with her skirt lifted.

White Wolf didn't know why, but he always kept thinking about this little girl whom he had only met once.

Maybe it was because the experience in Brokilon Forest was too magical, or maybe it was because he had saved this little girl from the White Widow, or maybe it was...

Anyway, the moment he saw this child, his heart was finally at ease.

He caught the girl who rushed over with both hands and lifted her up high, not feeling the pain of the wound at all.

Ciri giggled, and Geralt also smiled.

Marvin walked to the queen and whispered, "The fate of these two people is entangled, just like father and daughter. Calanthe, don't fight against fate."

The former prince didn't play the role of a charlatan successfully, but the title of the goddess of fate was still very useful. Her Majesty's face became more serious, and her rejection of the witcher in her heart was reduced again.

In the subspace that no one can see, Gaunt O'Dimm scratched the stubble on his chin and muttered to himself: "Hey, the child of destiny, so rare, forget it, this one can't be touched... The other one is more interesting, an orphan abandoned by his mother, a witcher, a sorceress... Tsk tsk tsk, the protagonist template, hehe... It's really interesting to follow Marvin."

Because of Marvin, Master Mirror noticed Geralt in advance. I don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing.

After the scene calmed down, Queen Calanthe sat upright, lowered her head slightly, and said: "Witcher, thank you for saving Princess Cirilla last year."

The reason why White Wolf can get along well in front of most nobles is not only because he is handsome, but also because Geralt's etiquette is actually good compared to other rude witchers.

He saluted with his chest, "Your Majesty, this is nothing, and you already thanked him last year."

The White Wolf, who has experienced too much discrimination and unfair treatment, is also a cold temperament, and speaks very directly, which is the same as most witchers.

Calanthe said this just to ease the relationship and lay the groundwork. He didn't expect the demon hunter to be so straightforward, and the topic was a bit difficult to continue. So, she simply made a request directly, "I see that Cirilla doesn't reject you, so I want you to be her swordsmanship teacher."

"Yeah!" The little girl standing next to her grandmother jumped up first, and urged in a voice that she thought was very soft but in fact everyone could hear: "Hurry up and say yes, hurry up and say yes!"

Turseik was so happy that he slapped his thigh beside him, "Hahahaha... my friend, say yes."

Mossak stood by and kept smiling.

The queen was too lazy to discipline her lawless husband and granddaughter.

The atmosphere was so heated that Geralt couldn't say the words he originally intended to refuse. He could only nod and hold his chest, "My pleasure, Your Majesty."

Calanthe nodded slightly, "Very good, stay for lunch. You can stay here first, heal your injuries, and start your swordsmanship teacher work by the way."

Geralt came to Cintra originally for Ciri, and now is the best result. He found that there was nothing to do later, so it would be nice to stay for a while, and nodded in agreement, "Your wish, Your Majesty." Note ②

…

Before lunch, Mossak, Geralt, Ciri, and Marvin walked in the back garden of the palace and chatted.

Ciri pestered Geralt and Modus.

Ravens are not real little animals, and he was in no mood to coax little girls, so Ciri's firepower was finally focused on the white wolf.

Mossak acted as a stabilizer to restrain the princess, and a lubricant between Geralt and Marvin to avoid any problems between the two cold people.

Marvin mainly wanted to inquire about the recent situation of the wolf faction and the griffin faction.

The reply he got was not bad. The wolf faction was in good condition, and Kaer Morhen was also fine. Vesemir was now well fed and well slept, and he had gained a lot of weight. Lelia's Norn was also there, but it was almost spring, and he had gone out to make money, and no one could tell where he was now.

It is said that the Griffin faction was still attacked by the warlock, but Kael Siren is still there, and the loss is not great. Geralt is not sure about the details.

After talking about these, Marvin has nothing to ask.

The scene of the two chatting was so cold that Ciri couldn't stand it first and soon ran away.

At this time, White Wolf knew that the city guards were searching for spies to prevent Ciri from being captured by the bad guys.

Geralt, who is proficient in searching and tracking, immediately volunteered to join the search team.

Once it comes to Ciri, White Wolf will definitely take action.

...

Note ①: I just watched the trailer of The Witcher 4 a few days ago. Ciri in it has cat eyes, which should be a mutation into a female witcher. It doesn't make sense!

The success rate of adult mutation is very, very low. So the Trial of Grass is used on children, and girls are weaker than boys, so there are no female witchers. Moreover, in The Witcher 3, Ciri is already an adult. The Wolf Faction destroyed the labs of the Trial of Grass, and Vesemir, who mastered the experimental process, died. Where did she mutate?

In addition, the mutation of demon hunters is a mutation at the genetic level. The species is different from humans, so demon hunters cannot reproduce. Can demon hunters still retain their original blood power? Isn't the blood of the ancients fragrant? Why do they have to become a half-finished product like a demon hunter?

It doesn't make sense.

Note ②: In the original timeline, during the Cintra Massacre, Ciri escaped from Cintra City and was adopted by a farm woman in the suburbs.

Geralt happened to be in Temeria, and learned the news in advance, and immediately rushed to Cintra. On the way, he saved a merchant whose carriage broke down, but was besieged by a group of monsters while repairing the carriage and was seriously injured.

His mother, the warlock-healer Visenna, appeared and saved him, but then left quietly.

Worried about Ciri's safety, Geralt, whose wounds had not yet healed, continued to rush to Cintra with the merchant.

The merchant's name was Yurga, and his wife was the farm woman who adopted Ciri. So, the father and daughter met. Geralt took Ciri, whose country and family were destroyed, to Kaer Morhen.

The original novel of The Witcher is not a novel, but a collection of short stories. The above paragraph comes from "Something Else" in "The Sword of Fate". It is said that this paragraph also appears in the American TV series The Witcher, but I haven't seen it.
