In the pine forest.
Ida's delicate body tightened his cloak with both hands and stood up.
Unlike ordinary ladies, her hands did not wear any precious metals, but were dotted with natural pearls, crimson red coral, and gentle-colored amber.
Her trembling body was relieved a lot under the wrap of the cloak.
His clear gaze turned to Giant Centipede.
The ferocious corpse did not put a look of fear on her face.
"We have to get out of here quickly. Yghern are social animals. The smell of their companions and the smell of blood will attract them."
Yghern is the name of Giant Centipede among elves.
"Indeed."
Arwen nodded, brushed the palm of his right hand forward, and the space ring contained all these corpses.
Then the two quickly left the place.
The sun rises and the moon sets, night falls, and stars are dotted beside the full moon.
In an open space, Arwen set up a simple fire.
The flames burned the dead wood, making a "pop, pop, pop" sound.
The early spring in the North still feels cold.
Arwen Take out the Royal Wyvern meat and place it on the fire.
He could feel that there was a pair of elf eyes that had been observing him.
Especially his cat eyes, like bright lights in a dark room, are really eye-catching.
He threw a piece of dead wood into the fire, patted the dirt on his hands, and asked.
"Can you see where this is?"
The dim firelight illuminated Ida's face even more charming and soft.
Arwen had to admit that the elf in front of him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen besides Francesca.
Different from the former's grace and wealth, Ida exudes gentleness and rationality at all times.
She sat upright and her voice was clear.
"Based on the density of the coniferous forest here, the red squirrels on the trees, and the stars in the sky, we can tell that this is Kestrel Mountains."
"The space turbulence did not throw us very far away, it just threw us from the edge of the mountain to the depths."
Arwen reached out and flipped the barbecue. When he heard this answer, his eyes didn't change much.
When he killed the numbered Giant Centipede, he already had a guess in his mind.
The monster's carapace is much harder than the ordinary Giant Centipede, and it obviously participated in the mutation experiment.
The base camp of the Kestrel Mountains and Order of Witchers is Morgraig.
Alzur's legacy is one of the purposes of his westward journey.
Now it seems that the Hydra Evil God portal gave him a ride.
But Nenneke has been worrying them for a long time.
However, Earl Rupert has established a relationship with the elf camp.
There should be no risk on the way to Temeria.
Ida saw Arwen lost in thought, and his eyes naturally fell on the silver sword placed beside him.
The originally slender and elegant sword blade was now eroded by the black energy and was disfigured.
Especially in the middle of the sword body, there are several obvious gaps, giving it a gray and defeated atmosphere.
As a sage among elves, Ida recognized this silver sword.
His eyes were slightly lowered, his lips that had regained some color were slightly opened, and he said that wise saying in the most standard Elvish language, with a hint of pity in his tone.
"Tor"aewea----"
"Dubhenn haern am glandeal, morc" h am fhean aiesin.
The runes on the spine of the silver sword that should have looked like running water now only flickered dimly and then fell into deathly silence.
Arwen came back to his senses, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and placed it in front of his knees.
Tor"aewea means Thor Aewea.
Touching the blade of the sword with his left hand, [Blade Perception], Thor Ivy was seriously injured and was almost on the verge of being scrapped.
"The light of its sword will dispel the haze," Ida said in a gentle tone, "The ordinary silver sword has long since turned into a pool of silver water when faced with the evil spirit of the evil god."
"The famous sword has a spirit, I can see it, it recognizes you."
"If you want to repair it and restore the elven lines on it, you'd better go to the Mahakam Mountains. There are also master-level dwarf craftsmen there and the best earth-fire furnace in the world. They will be able to find a way."
Arwen was a little confused, "Dwarf forging is famous in the world, but isn't this silver sword forged by you elves?"
Ida explained, "You are right, the person who forged this silver sword was a legendary elf craftsman, but the Iron Sid tribe has not had such an existence for hundreds of years."
"Do you know Primordial Runes?"
Arwen raised his head and his expression became serious.
"The rune on this silver sword is Primordial Runes. This rune is not only possessed by elves."
"It is based on elven runes, and dwarven hieroglyphics."
"In this era, it is very rare to see this kind of writing."
"So, elves are not the only ones who want to repair this silver sword. Dwarves can also do it."
Arwen remembered these words and said thanks, "Thank you."
At the same time, he also took a deep look at the other party.
The elven sages are indeed well-deserved in their reputation, and can be called erudite in terms of knowledge.
Ida said, "This is nothing, you saved my life."
"I am a sage, and imparting knowledge is my passion."
Arwen smiled, "Since this is Kestrel Mountains, can you open a portal and leave here?"
Ida smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, almost all of my mental power was absorbed by the magic circle in the canyon. The last bit of it was also used to block the portal."
She raised the white fingers of her right hand, and the fingertips gradually revealed a faint magical light like a firefly, and it was extremely unstable.
"In my current state, it is very difficult to cast even the most basic magic shield."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so embarrassed in front of a Yghern."
Arwen continued, "Then can we contact Francesca·Findabei?"
Hearing the name Francesca, Ida's bright eyes flashed a few times.
"You know her?"
Arwen said, "Before I went to the depths of the canyon, I went to your elf camp and met Francesca under the recommendation of the elf elder."
"This Hydra mask was also modified by her, as well as the giant sword behind me."
When Ida saw this, he really saw Francesca's method.
"Have you also found those elf children?"
Arwen nodded.
Ida's eyes softened a lot, "It's really rare. Among the demon hunters I've observed, you are the rare one who is compassionate."
"But it's a pity that my magic communication tool was taken away when they caught me."
"More importantly," she raised her head and looked around at the dark sea of trees, her eyes becoming solemn.
"I can feel that the magic here is very chaotic, and something is constantly interfering, like a huge magnetic field. Within this range, it is difficult to build portals and magic communication devices."
"If you use the teleportation gate rashly, you may lose the coordinates just like before and be transported to an unknown place, even the depths of the sea or a volcano."
Arwen thought about what the other party said.
I am even more certain in my heart that this is the base camp of Order of Witchers.
Morgraig.
Suddenly, Arwen subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword with his palm.
On a whim, as if sensing something.
He raised his left hand and made a silent gesture.
Ida froze, held his breath, and could hear the sound of sparks shooting out of the fire.
Under night.
"Shashasha----"
A pair of scarlet beast eyes poked out from the bushes, pink letters came out of the mouth, and they kept sniffing the smell in the air.
Its eyes reflected the burning fire and the skewers of roasted Royal Wyvern meat.
The front paws pried open the bushes and poked out the gray head.
The appearance is very similar to the Komodo dragon, but it is much larger than the latter and has stronger limbs.
Yellow fangs were exposed from his slightly open lips, and thick saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Its body is covered with stone-gray scales, and its slightly swaying tail has horny spines.
--
It cautiously climbed to the fire, and did not eat the barbecue immediately. Instead, it raised its head and kept smelling the smell in the air.
Its sense of smell is very developed, and it can be confirmed that just now, there were two strange smells here.
Climb around the fire a few times.
Behind it, it fell into a dark forest, with its tangled roots exposed and a large amount of sand attached to it.
Large tracts of blackthorn were divided into strips by the dim moonlight.
Unsurprisingly, it found no one.
Suddenly, a figure came behind it like a ghost.
The figure opened his eyes, and his golden vertical pupils were ignited.
[Crouching Ambush] Innate talent, combined with the demon hunter's movement skills, makes it impossible for even animals that are more alert than humans to detect it.
Arwen raised the giant sword in his hand high, his eyes silent.
The dark sword light fell and penetrated directly into the monitor lizard's neck.
Under the fierce sword wind, the giant lizard finally sensed the presence behind it. It pulled the ground with its front paws, trying to turn around.
But it's too late.
The giant sword cut in, sparks burst out, and the double armor-breaking attacks of [Giant Limb Armor Break] and [Crouching Ambush] were launched, weakening the physical armor-breaking by a full 25%, which was as powerful as breaking bamboo.
The giant lizard's head fell to the ground, and blood spurted out from the wound on its neck, soaking the ground.
The little elephant-like body still maintained a struggling posture, its tail was still twitching, and then it collapsed to the ground like a collapsed mountain of flesh.
Kill instantly with one sword.
Arwen straightened up and shook off the blood from the giant sword with his wrist.
[Kill Slyzard, get Slyzard Mutagen 25%]
Slyzard?
Arwen carefully observed Slyzard's body, raised its toes, and turned its body over with terrifying power0
Sure enough, I saw a mark on its soft belly.
[17-J]
new number.
Ida slowly walked out of the shadows of the forest, tightening his cloak with both hands, and looked at Arwen with eyes full of awe.
The hunting process just now made her see how terrifying the demon hunter was.
No, it's not the demon hunter, it's the black-haired Arwen in front of me.
Especially the other person's cat eyes, which made her feel frightened every time she looked at him.
This was something she had never seen among the witchers she had observed.
She walked to Arwen and looked at the body on the ground.
"This is Sand Monitor, active in the Kestrel Mountains. According to common sense, it should not have such a body shape, and the scales on its body are much harder than normal."
Speaking of which, she also noticed the number on her abdomen.
"Experiment, a mutant monster in some kind of experiment."
The peripheral vision glanced at Arwen's side face without leaving any trace.
She didn't say much next. She knew too many secrets in this world.
Arwen also heard the implication, "Let's go, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
Put Slyzard's body into the space ring, pinch Igni Sign, and put out the fire.
The two of them walked slowly through the thorns and rocks in the night.
We walked for about more than an hour.
The surrounding forests began to become sparse, replaced by large areas of weathered black rocks and ruins.
The strong wind blew on the empty mountain land, causing the grass growing among the ruins to ripple like ocean waves.
The hawthorn bushes and nettles made a rustling noise.
The moonlight poured down from the gaps in the clouds and fell on a very huge castle built on the mountain.
The moat of Gancheng is covered with black moss, the city walls look pale in the moonlight, and the shadows of trees are reflected on it crookedly, giving it an eerie and eerie atmosphere.
Arwen's breathing seems heavy.
Next to her, Ida, her wine-red hair was ruffled by the strong wind, and her eyes were shining.
"Morgraig was once the base camp of Order of Witchers. I didn't expect to be able to see it with my own eyes. It's really an honor."
Arwen looked far away. Although the monsters were well hidden, he still caught them by the tail.
Slyzard, Giant Centipede, these are the ones he has already dealt with.
Beside the gravel road covered with weeds, there are several large and unsightly flowers, which can also be said to be cruel and blood-killing sundews.
Don't underestimate it, this plant has caused countless witchers to suffer, and has even become its nourishment.
Giant Thorny Devil Tree.
Even in the game "The Witcher 3", this thing is a very annoying monster for Arwen.
Arwen whispered, "Do you know this place?"
Ida made no secret, "It is my job to observe and record the world."
"When the demon hunter appeared in Rissberg, it caused an uproar in the wizarding world."
"Later, I only knew that your legendary wizard Alzur led the demon hunters into the Kestrel Mountains and established Order of Witchers."
"It's just that this order soon fell apart, and many schools of demon hunters emerged."
"However, what I didn't expect was that your sect would be so divided at first."
She raised her chin and indicated the location of the moat.
On that dry riverbed lay countless bones.
Regarding Morgraig, Arwen learned a lot from Vesemir when they were at Holt's manor.
At that time, Order of Witchers did have differences in philosophy, but it was not yet time to use weapons.
School of the Wolf is the last demon hunter to leave here, and will never let so many monsters remain in the castle.
Something must have happened during this period. To say that those skeletons are all Trial of the Grasses losers would be too much.
In addition, he also observed several corpses, which were not the bones of human teenagers. There were also several corpses with very thick tibias, which were obviously the corpses of dwarves.
"These bodies came later."
Ida was startled for a moment. Her eyesight did not support her looking so carefully.
"Is there still a witcher in this castle?"
Arwen shook his head in denial, raised his right hand, and a simple round stone ring appeared on his palm.
The runes on the inside of the stone ring emitted a magnificent luster after sensing the magic power flowing out of Morgraig.
Alzur's Stone Circle, had a reaction.
