The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

"Lightning be upon you!..." Mossak felt dizzy, so he blinked hard, looked at the big black horse running in circles, and asked with a trembling voice, "Black, black unicorn~?"

Pinching his thumb and middle finger into a ring, Marvin blew a whistle and waved the black guy back.

Puff... the raven flew back from the woods and landed on the unicorn's head.

The black unicorn excitedly sent a greeting, "Blessed by the world..."

Marvin put one hand on the front of the unicorn to avoid being poked by the horn, and said, "Okay, call me Marvin, that name is too awkward."

Mossak was a little confused, and after a while he asked, "Are you talking to it? Can it talk?"

The unicorn turned his head to look at the old man, and the raven above his head spoke: "Old man, what's so strange about being able to talk?"

Mossak nodded, "Yes, I'm Marvin's friend. Hello."

Obviously, he was responding to the unicorn.

And Modus, this slightly chattering AI, did not have a good relationship with the archdruid.

After explaining the origin of the black unicorn to Mossak, the old man sighed and was indignant about the brutality of the Ain El elves. But he was only indignant, and he could not do anything.

In the uninhabited woods outside the city, the unicorn wanted to run. He was still very excited when he first arrived in the alien world.

But he had just become an adult not long ago, and the environment here was unfamiliar. He did not dare to stay too far away from Marvin, so he played with the raven in the woods for a while.

Mossak looked at the happy horse and bird and made a suggestion: "Go back, I'll open a portal, the black unicorn is too eye-catching."

This suggestion is quite reliable.

The unicorn was already a powerful myth in folk mythology, not to mention the more bizarre black unicorn. Once the news spread, Marvin would be in trouble.

Moreover, without a saddle and stirrups, riding is very inconvenient.

Marvin's riding skills are average, and he is too strong. Without a saddle and stirrups, once he exerts too much force, the unicorn may not be able to withstand it.

How to make the unicorn look less special?

The solution is not difficult, horse eye patch. It is the protective gear and decoration on the front face of the horse. Just add a unicorn decoration on it and put the original unicorn in.

The horse eye patch with unicorn decoration is not Marvin's first invention. In order to make their mounts look more majestic and more exaggerated, the nobles can think of it.

The black unicorn is bigger than ordinary war horses, and the saddle must be customized, which can be made together.

The royal family of Cintra has its own royal leatherworker. If you pay more money, you can keep the secret temporarily. Marvin still has gold bars in his pocket, and breaking half of it is enough to pay the bill.

However, Queen Calanthe took the initiative to increase the customization level and bear all the expenses.

He hopes that Marvin can go to Temeria and use his identity to persuade Foltest, the current king of Temeria, to attend the King's Conference of the Northern Kingdom to discuss the matter of resisting the Nilfgaard Empire.

If possible, you must try to persuade Foltest to send troops to support Cintra.

Marvin agreed halfway. He said he could bring the message, but he could stop trying to persuade him.

He still didn't understand what the relationship between Foltest and him was.

The main plot of the game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is that Foltest was assassinated by Letho. When Geralt met Letho again in The Witcher 3, the snake-faction witcher mentor was still hiding, and no territory dared to take him in.

...

Another magical creature came to the palace, and the happiest person was naturally Princess Cirilla.

And the black unicorn is not like a raven. He is a real creature and likes to play with children.

Cirilla is the only one who can ride the black unicorn except Marvin. Maybe it's because she is the girl of destiny?

In the original novel, Cirilla was saved by a unicorn that traveled through time and space, thus avoiding dying of thirst in the desert.

Thanks to Cirilla, Marvin figured out what the black unicorn likes to eat.

Fresh alfalfa and celandine flowers, allspice, honeysuckle, and fruits. He also likes any fruit that is a little sweet. I hate parsley and verbena, which often grows with celandine.

Alfalfa can only satisfy hunger, and sweet fruits and herbs are the favorites of unicorns, and ordinary people can't afford them.

In the world of witchers, the life span of horses is generally 20 to 30 years. No one has ever heard of a horse that has lived over 50 years old.

The black horse Nid was a mount 90 years ago. It was just an ordinary Kaedwen warhorse, which is basically, probably, and probably gone.

So, the black unicorn got its own name, Nidhogg, nicknamed Nid.

Nid was still very happy to get the new name.

When he was happy, he instantly changed from a handsome guy to a funny guy, turned his lips to show two rows of big white teeth, and laughed a strange laugh, and jumped up and down, causing Ciri to clap along.

Geralt elbowed him and joked: "Marvin, your two animal friends are very unique, right?"

"Haha..." Marvin laughed dryly and said: "One day your 'radish' will be able to talk, maybe it can help you catch thieves." Note ①

"Walter?" Geralt scratched his head, not knowing why. When he wanted to ask again, Marvin had already left.

The break time was over, and it was time to practice.

Marvin finally figured out what Ned's two skills were.

I ran: active/passive, lv.3

Teleport, very similar to Marvin's teleport, but much farther than Marvin's teleport. It is normal to flash 20 to 30 meters, and it is not impossible to do 50 meters with effort. Probably because his stamina bar is longer.

Ned has a talent, good runner: ☆☆2 stars, Lv.9. It should have added a lot of basic physical strength.

It's not that Ned's teleportation is better than Marvin's. The development directions of one person and one horse are different.

Compared with distance, Marvin valued the speed and suddenness of teleportation more.

Ned's teleportation was used while running, and in the past it was mostly used for escaping, so suddenness was not necessary, distance was more important.

Marvin has no plans to change the direction of Unicorn's skills, and it's fine for now.

But there was a new problem. Ned was carrying nothing before, neither a saddle nor anyone else on his back.

So when he teleports, he is the only one who moves, and whatever is on him will stay in place and fall directly.

When the custom-made saddle and goggles arrived, they were the right size, and they were all black and matched Ned very well.

But it's a bit troublesome to get the unicorn used to "wearing" these things, let alone teleporting while wearing them.

First of all, after experiencing saddleless camels and saddled camels, Ned also felt that a saddle was more comfortable; secondly, he also knew that he was different from ordinary horses and could easily attract the prying eyes of other humans.

The bridle was also customized, but Marvin didn’t use it. Unicorns are intelligent creatures, much smarter than horses, and do not need bridles or reins.

After getting used to wearing a saddle and blindfold, you need to let him understand that these things are one with him. As long as you understand this, there will be no problems with teleportation.

Just like when Marvin teleported for the first time, he didn't leave his clothes behind and just flashed to the other side naked. It's because Marvin has always believed that clothes and himself are one.

On the mysterious side, the concept of "I think" is actually very important.

Ned's second skill

You can't hit: active/passive, lv.3

This is his unique skill, and no other unicorn in the Spady Kong clan knows it.

To put it bluntly, this skill is to stay in sub-space.

Ned can stay in subspace for less than 1 second, and can dodge most attacks in this short period of time.

The release speed of "You Can't Hit" is very, very fast. With Marvin's current reaction ability, he can't catch that little gap.

This made him very interested in learning. This skill was very practical in close combat.

So Marvin lived in the palace again.

On the one hand, let Ned get used to the saddle and blindfold, on the other hand, he and Ned learn "you can't hit".

In addition, he will also help Geralt teach Ciri how to use a sword. His main role is to be an opponent that Ciri can never defeat. Let Xili know what a real master is like.

While teaching Ciri swordsmanship, Marvin was also reflecting. Reflecting on his battle with Leo Bonnet.

Although that battle ended quickly, and Marvin only lost 23 points of blood, Leo's ferocity at the critical moment deeply touched him.

Humans in the Demon Hunter world are generally physically stronger than Blue Star, and he has known this since he was a child. When he first experienced actual combat at the age of 17, the axe-wielding mercenary was defeated, but it also made Marvin realize that his strength at the time was weak.

Since then, his melee combat has been light and agile, injuring first and then killing.

After that, he continued to fight against powerful monsters, and monsters were generally larger than people.

In melee combat, size advantage equals strength advantage.

Boxing matches are also divided into heavyweights. It is even more impossible for Marvin to use brute force against monsters. His fighting style has continued like this.

But the battle with Leo Bonnet made him see his own shortcomings. As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose.

What if the opponent's sword is quenched with poison? What if his attribute crushing and equipment crushing were not so serious?

Then...who can survive in this battle?

Marvin is fully developed. In addition to his charm, his strength, sensitivity and physical essence are all considered high in the second level. It is no longer appropriate to keep his original fighting style.

Moreover, how can one use a knife well without being firm or ruthless?

…

Marvin also consulted Ester Tursek and Druid Mossak regarding Gunter O'Dem's mission "Melusin".

News from Tursek:

There is a massive cave system in the mountains near the village of Svaleg on Skellige.

For centuries, no one dared to enter the cave because it was said that a bloodthirsty Hecna had built a lair in it, which the locals called Melusine.

Melusine is so powerful that some islanders even worship her as a demigod. Every year a human sacrifice is made to the monster.

The village of Svaleg is located on Spekruger Island in the northwest of the archipelago. It is the territory of the Blokval family.

The Skelligs respect the beliefs of all islanders. Since the Brokvals don't care, and outsiders won't have any objections to it, they can sacrifice themselves if they like.

News from Mossack:

Rumor has it that Melusine is the daughter of Focaccia.

Focaccia was a sea witch from long ago who fell in love with a pirate named Origen.

It's a pity that Origen is a complete scumbag. He is either robbing or having fun. He neither rejects nor cherishes Focaccia's love.

After that, the rumors were divided into several versions. Some said that Focaccia cursed Origen, some said that Focaccia committed suicide, and some said that Focaccia made peace with the devil and gave birth to Melusine.

The reason why Melusin was entrenched near Svaleg Village was to avenge his mother and never let Svaleg Village, which gave birth to that villain, have an easy time.

If these legends are related to the "curse" mentioned by Gaunt O'Dimm, it is hard to say whether the source of the curse is the sea witch Focaccia, Melusina, or the pirate Origen.

In short, everything requires Marvin to go to Svaleg Village.

Gaunt O'Dimm is not omniscient and omnipotent. He disappeared after seeing the white wolf.

Moreover, the devil came too hastily this time. He had no idea that there were two native Skelligers in the Cintra Palace, and these two Skelligers knew so much.

Marvin knew about 60% of the truth before he went to the archipelago.

…

When killing Leo Bonnet, the pendant equipment "Soul Enlightenment" on Marvin's waist absorbed the evil soul of the swordsman, and the growth rate increased to 40%. It seems that if two more evil souls are absorbed, this pendant can be upgraded.

The growth rate of the long sword Gus pattern has been increased from 10% to 20%, and at least 8 "strong enemies of the same level or higher" must be killed to upgrade.

There are many such people in the demon hunter world, such as Geralt and Mossak. But Marvin will never kill indiscriminately.

Becoming stronger is a means to a higher level, not an end.

The purpose is much more important than the means, being strong is much more important than being strong in equipment, and being strong in mind is much more important than being strong in body!

He has never made mistakes in these.

If he "disturbed his mind and reversed the cause and effect" just for a piece of equipment, then what kind of business is he still cultivating?

Leo Bonnet also dropped a purple treasure chest.

[You get. 】

【Long Claw】Note ②

Category: Sword, Long Sword

Quality: Rare (Purple)

Physical Attack Power: 47~59

Durability: 32/50

Equipment Requirements: Strength 35 or above, Agility 25 or above, Swordsmanship Mastery 5 or above

(Equipment requirements are only recommended values. Forcibly using equipment below the requirements may cause injury or death)

Equipment Effect: Piercing Penetration +3

Description: Leo Bonnet's sword, made by someone unknown. The only thing that can be praised about this half-sword is its sharpness.

Price: 13,800 Paradise Coins

To be honest, although this sword is of purple quality, it is at the bottom of the purple quality in terms of attack power, special effects, and Paradise purchase price.

However, this sword is also a very good weapon among low-level contractors, and swords are easier to sell than knives, so it should be able to make a small profit.

Compared to the box dropped by Avallac'k, the income of this purple treasure chest is far worse.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of the luck +3 BUFF, or because Leo Bonnet's strength is worse than that of the Elf Great Sage?

...

Hundreds of kilometers south of Cintra, in the former Principality of Ebbing, now the Ebbing Province of Nilfgaard, spring has come, tender green buds have emerged from the branches, and the evening breeze is not as cold as in the north.

There is a village at the foot of Mount Styga in the northeast corner of the Ebbing Province, also called Styga.

To the east of Styga Village, the land suddenly sank like a sinkhole, and below was a small lake that was gradually drying up, lifeless, and emitting mist under the night.

In the diffuse mist, you can see exposed stalagmites and rotten wooden boats.

On the huge rock that suddenly rises in the lake stands a not-so-grand stone castle, Styga Castle.

The castle is connected to the west bank of the lake by a long stone bridge.

At the top of the closed city gate at the end of the long bridge, two mercenaries were on duty boredly.

Anyway, they just need to guard the bridge in front of them. The wizard in the castle has no time to care whether they are lazy or not.

The stone castle, which originally lacks lighting, becomes more and more gloomy at night.

Ah! ... A woman's scream suddenly came from the window on the top floor of the castle...

It was so miserable, as if her soul was chewed up by the devil. Note ③

The mercenaries in the castle shuddered together. Although they had heard it dozens of times, they still couldn't get used to it.

Every time I see the owner of this castle, I feel that there is a real devil under his gentle and polite handsome skin.

Squeak~

The wooden door of the laboratory opened with an unpleasant friction sound, and the night wind coming in from the window blew the torches and candles flickering.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance carefully pulled at his white robe with blood on the front and was about to leave. A voice came from behind him: "Alto, fix that damn door!"

The middle-aged man turned around, bent down and replied: "Your wish, teacher."

The experiment failed again.

I don't know how many lives have been spent, but there is still no progress. He knew that at this time, he must absolutely obey any request of the man inside, no matter how incredible the request was.

"Forget it..." the voice said again, "Bring the next experimental subject up."

"Yes, teacher."

After the middle-aged man made sure that the teacher had no other requirements, he carefully lifted the door and closed it, then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked downstairs.

...

Note ①: The Witcher 3 game, Blood and Wine DLC Toussaint, has such a task specifically for Carrot. Blood and Wine DLC and the main game are not actually connected. That is to say, after Geralt and Ciri defeated the Wild Hunt, it took some time for the White Wolf to arrive in Toussaint.

Note ②: There is a steel sword called "Longclaw" in The Witcher 3, and there is also a sword called "Longclaw" in Game of Thrones, which is Jon Snow's sword.

So a guy made a small MOD, changing the appearance of the long claw in the Witcher 3 to Jon Snow's long claw. I inserted it here for fun, and you can just watch it for fun. Don't contact Game of Thrones, there is no connection. If you are interested in learning more, just search it online.

I should write Game of Thrones. I have already thought of the general plot. It will be different from all the fan works of Game of Thrones. I will analyze that world from a higher perspective and integrate the story of Game of Thrones into the entire void background.

Note ③: Demon, there is a monster called demon in the Witcher 3 game. This name is very, very inaccurate and can easily cause misunderstandings. This is the fault of the translation.

I prefer to use another name to refer to the monsters with horns that look like cows and deer, "雠特魔". Or just make up another name, at least it will not cause players to misunderstand.
