The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 34: Vizima 90 years later
This bandit group, which was once active along the Nasser River, originally wanted to rob the castle, but after the four most capable men were killed, they became obedient.
Then, they were frightened by the cruelty of the master wizard.
Every night in the castle, they felt that the ghosts of pregnant women and babies were wandering there.
If they escaped, they would be killed, but if they didn't run, they could still live. The master wizard gave them generous rewards, so they stayed and worked obediently.
The three of them went to Clermont this time, on the one hand to collect food and experimental materials, and on the other hand to buy experimental materials.
However, the latter experimental material is a person, and it cannot be an ordinary person, but a pregnant woman.
There is a very famous arena in Clermont, and the owner of the arena, Dominic, has a lot of connections and can get all kinds of slaves.
The arena is the largest source of experimental materials for the castle, but the money to buy materials is not theirs, and it is settled regularly by other people and the arena.
Of course, if they happen to meet a pregnant woman on the way to buy things, the mercenaries don't mind making more pocket money.
They didn't know the names of the wizards, but they remembered that the leading man was very handsome and cool, and the female wizard was very beautiful, but unfortunately they couldn't touch each other.
The beautiful female wizard and the ugly male wizard are now in the castle, but the female wizard usually doesn't go downstairs, and everything is handled by the male wizard.
The leading handsome guy went out yesterday and probably won't come back for many days.
This is all the information obtained from the interrogation.
So, Marvin didn't let any of them go and killed them all.
The real owner is not in the castle, so he can't alert the snake.
What if Viggo Fortz is cautious enough and finds that his nest has been destroyed and hides?
Marvin only has 20 days left to stay.
Then don't move the castle first, and do it at the questioning meeting.
As for the missing 3 mercenaries?
It's normal for this kind of trash to run away with the carriage halfway or get killed when they get into trouble.
In the magical medieval era, a few people missing in the wild won't even scare the farmers, and it has no impact at all.
After wiping off the remaining blood on his long sword and opening the portal, Marvin walked in with the unicorn and the raven.
…
The mountains were covered with tender green, the lake reflected the blue sky and white clouds and the snow-capped peaks of Gongshan Mountain, and the bright sunshine after noon shone on the orange-yellow roofs, making it hard to open your eyes.
Toussaint was still so beautiful. The last time I came here was in November, but I didn't expect to come back in February 90 years later.
After entering the city from the Cooper's Gate, Marvin found a nearby tavern to eat, leaving Ned and Modus outside the tavern.
First, the city of Beauclair was as peaceful as before, and second, these two guys were not easy to bully together. Even if an accident happened, it was easy to escape, and Modus could notify him immediately.
The meal was very peaceful, nothing happened, except for the snoring of the drunkards in the tavern, which was no different from 90 years ago.
After lunch, Marvin opened the portal again outside the city of Beauclair.
This time the destination was the suburbs of Kagen City, the capital of the Kingdom of Soden.
Marvin had this coordinate a long time ago, but he had never been here.
It is worth mentioning that after the current king of the Kingdom of Soden, Eckhard, passed away in less than two years, King Foltest of Temeria would become the only heir.
Because Eckhard is Foltest's uncle and has no other heirs.
If the wheel of fate does not turn and continues to rotate according to the original track, even if Foltest inherits the Kingdom of Soden, he will not be happy for long.
Because Nilfgaard's Northern Expedition occupied the part of the Kingdom of Soden south of the Yaruga River.
From then on, the Kingdom of Soden ceased to exist. The south is called Upper Soden and is under the management of the Cintra Province. The north is Lower Soden, which is under the management of Temeria.
For the sake of caution, Marvin does not plan to open the portal continuously.
It takes 1,500 deep blue psionic energy to open a 500-kilometer portal, and 50 deep blue psionic energy will be consumed for every extra second.
Even with the high magic characteristics of the Demon Hunter world, it takes two or three minutes to recharge.
This does not include the brainpower consumed when opening and maintaining the door.
After resting for 5 minutes, Marvin opened the portal again.
This time he came to a more familiar place, Maripo.
Compared with 90 years ago, this place has changed a lot.
At least the traces of half of the city destroyed by the battle between Alzu and Adarlan have completely disappeared. (Volume 1 Chapter 27-28)
Marvin spent a lot of effort to finally find the entrance to the tunnel in the woods outside the suburbs. He left Modus and Ned outside the entrance and went in himself.
Although the tunnel was a bit blocked, it was still passable. He finally entered the underground secret room, which was the underground laboratory that originally belonged to Alzu.
Except for the dust, everything here is the same as before.
Open the portal and bring in Raven and Unicorn.
Modus flew around in the huge central cave, "Wow, boss, you still have such a secret hiding place?"
Sneeze~ Tap tap tap...
After the portal was closed, it was too dark in the cave, and the unicorn stamped his feet anxiously.
Marvin lit up the illumination spell in the sky.
Ned ran to the center of the cave and looked at the stalagmite. "Marvin, what is this?"
"The place of magic."
Modus stood on a pile of black stones and asked, "What is this pile?"
"Broken puppets."
"What are puppets?"
It took more than half an hour to explain the various things in the underground secret room to these two curious babies.
Until Marvin touched the silver pendant on the chest of the sorceress's bust.
[Alzu's Regret]
Type: Necklace
Quality: Rare (Purple)
Durability: 0/45
Equipment requirements: Spirit 27, Chaos Magic Energy in the user is above 480.
Equipment effect 1: Can actively activate a spherical magic shield that wraps the user, with a diameter of 2.4 meters. The magic shield can resist physical attacks, energy attacks, magic erosion and other damage, with a defense of 55~116. The magic shield will automatically gather energy to the attacked point to increase the defense of the attacked point. When multiple points are attacked, energy is automatically distributed. When the magic shield is turned on, 82~324 points of magic energy stored in the necklace are consumed per second.
Stored magic energy: 0/18000
Description: The protective silver lily necklace made by the legendary warlock Alzu for his beloved Liliana, but this necklace still failed to save Liliana's life. The necklace will automatically absorb the magic energy of the surrounding environment for charging, and can also actively input magic energy for charging, and can hold up to 18,000 points of magic energy. Due to damage and long-term unused, this necklace is almost beyond repair.
Price: 2000 RP
The necklace Marvin is using now is the "Glory of the Great Sage", which is of higher quality and more suitable for him.
In close combat, there is a spherical shield on the outside... Then, both sides stare at each other through the shield?
But for magic professions and summoning professions, this necklace is still very valuable and can definitely be sold at a high price.
"Almost beyond repair"? That means it is still possible to repair it. Take it back to Paradise and try it.
His first Gus pattern is still here. Although the tip of the blade is broken, it is still well preserved. I must take it back to collect it.
The first two sets of armor imitating the wolf and the bear are not even worth collecting. The leather part has been oxidized and is fragile. It broke into a pile as soon as I picked it up.
...
After passing through the portal again, I finally arrived at today's destination, Vizima.
The sky was overcast and there was no sunlight.
Marvin didn't know how much Vizima was the same as it was 90 years ago, and he was not even sure whether the city was safe.
To be on the safe side, he opened the portal outside Vizima.
A thin tributary branched off from the Islaina River and passed around the city along the base of the city wall.
Marvin lifted the hood of his cloak to cover his short silver hair, and led Ned onto the wooden bridge to the city gate. This road led to the Temple of Meliteli.
The area near the temple was the safest before, with few crimes, comparable to the upper city. I hope it is still the same now.
He threw a florin to the gatekeeper and entered the city smoothly.
As soon as he entered the city, Marvin found that this place was very different from before.
The densely packed bungalows looked very crowded, and the thatched roofs were black and moldy.
The open-air sewer sunk in the middle of the road was gurgling, and the stench of excrement floated up from below for a long time.
This place was not considered the lower city before, and it was definitely not so crowded or so smelly.
Sneeze~, Ned sneezed.
Marvin slowed down two steps, raised his hand and patted his long face.
He continued to move forward quickly. He didn't see any thieves along the way. It seems that this place is not so bad.
Suddenly aware of the gazes of others, Marvin turned his head and looked over. A man with bare arms was squatting on the side of the road looking at the big black horse.
The two looked at each other, and Marvin found that his eyes were very special.
The man immediately drooped his eyelids.
"Hans, you lazy guy!" A scolding came from the house behind the man, "Come in and work! If I catch you being lazy again, I will deduct your wages!"
"Oh." The man responded loudly and went in with his head drooped.
The light in the house was not good, and no one could be seen in a blink of an eye, but from the furnishings at the door, it can be seen that this is a blacksmith shop, which can only make kitchen knives, fire tongs and so on.
Marvin: "Modus, that man just monitored for a while."
Modus: "Hmm? Is there something wrong with him?"
Marvin: "His eyes are like a demon hunter's. Take a frontal photo to confirm."
Modus flew over his head: "Understood."
A small bonfire was burning at the intersection ahead. An old man in a brown linen hooded robe stood by the bonfire and was preaching loudly:
"Eternal Fire, burn all sins and filth...Eternal Fire, drive away all beasts and ghosts! Embrace the Eternal Fire..."
It seems that after 90 years of development, the Eternal Fire has finally spread from Novigrad to Temeria, and can even be preached in the capital Vizima.
When Goydmar was in power, he was very wary of foreign religions...
And Marvin's sensitive hearing heard a lot of gossip from citizens along the way.
This area now has a new administrative division, called the Temple District.
Because there are two major temples here, the Temple of Meliteli and the Monastery of the Eternal Fire.
Tsk tsk… Eternal Flame is really rich now.
Seeing Eternal Flame, it was hard for Marvin not to think of the main plot of The Witcher 1. The Knights of the Flaming Rose colluded with the Eternal Flame and secretly set up a Salamander Gang, which not only almost overthrew Temeria, but also destroyed Kaer Morhen Castle.
The villain he remembered most clearly was an alchemist + wizard named Azajavid.
It seems that the leader of the Knights of the Flaming Rose is the final BOSS, but he can't remember his name at all.
1263, I don't know how long it will take for the plot of The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
Marvin remembered the years of some important events, but he didn't remember the timeline of these two games.
In my last life, I just played through the game because I liked The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but I had to endure the poor operation and graphics. I have basically forgotten everything.
In fact, The Witcher 1 storyline started in Vizima in 1270, and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings storyline started in Vizima in 1271, which is still a long time ago.
However, I don’t know if it’s because Marvin kicked the direction of the Wheel of Fortune off.
When the goddess of fate turned back, she used too much force, and everything was accelerating.
However, with Marvin’s temper, it’s hard not to cause trouble since he came to Vizima.
The goddess of fate was captured again, who knows if she can come back.
It’s hard to say where the wheel of fortune will turn.
…
On the road ahead, pedestrians suddenly dodged to both sides.
A bearded man in plate armor rode a tall horse, followed by four knights, and all five of them looked arrogant.
The business hadn’t been done yet, and Marvin didn’t want to cause trouble, so he also took Ned to the side of the road.
But the unicorn's physique was still a little too conspicuous, and the warhorse looked like a mule compared to him.
The bearded man in plate armor also saw it, and he stopped his horse and looked at Marvin, shouting: "Hey! Knight?"
Marvin stopped and looked up at him, then hid his face in the shadow of his hood and continued to move forward.
The man on the horse was stunned by this look.
"Heh..." The bearded man in plate armor laughed awkwardly and asked loudly: "How much do you want for your horse? Tell me a number!"
The two knights' followers blocked the way quite consciously.
Marvin looked up at the white rose emblem on the shield on the chest of the follower and said: "No."
After saying that, he pushed the follower away and walked over. How could such a small soldier resist his huge strength? It would be useless to try harder.
Ned behind Marvin was not so polite. He jumped over with all his strength and directly knocked the two followers away.
The crowd around exclaimed.
A trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the bearded man in plate armor. He looked around again, thinking that he still had to maintain his image among the common people and could not act too strong.
He waved to his confidant: "Follow and see."
The confidant nodded: "Understood!" and turned and went into the alley.
...
Marvin was going to find a bank on Karin Avenue to exchange some Oren.
"Shoe repair~~~, get out of here if you wear cloth shoes, you can't afford it." A bald shoemaker sitting on the shoe stall next to him lowered his voice and shouted to Marvin, "Hey, kid with a black horse."
Marvin stopped and looked at him, and the blue pupils in the shadow of the hood did not fluctuate.
The skinny bald shoemaker shuddered, shook his goose bumps, and continued to say slyly: "Your eyes are really scary, you are in trouble, do you know?"
Marvin had something important to do and didn't want to cause trouble, but now it seems that trouble has come to him.
He walked to the shoe stall, "Tell me."
The bald shoemaker raised his right hand and rubbed his fingers.
Marvin threw him a florin.
"Huh? Nilfgaardian?" The shoemaker smacked his lips and shook his head. "No, no. You must be Temeria from your accent. Oh, right, you're talking about trouble..."
"Hey, TUI!" The shoemaker spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the corner of the wall. "You don't look like a poor guy! This amount can't buy information. Give me more."
Marvin suddenly felt that the bald shoemaker looked familiar. He raised his hand and hung it over the shoe stall. One gold coin after another fell into the boots on the shoe stall.
The shoemaker smiled on the surface, but he was very surprised in his heart. He had seen magic packages, but they were not so magical.
After dropping a total of 10 gold coins, Marvin retracted his hand, looked at the shoemaker and said, "If your information is not worth so much, you will be in trouble."
The shoemaker shuddered again, rubbed his arms, smiled and hugged the boot into his arms and said, "If it's worth it, then it's definitely worth it. If it's not worth it, I will eat it on the spot."
