When we returned, everyone was feeling a little down.
The persecution suffered by the sorceresses was definitely not just from the power of the church, there must have been support from the secular monarchy behind them.
It was already the afternoon of the next day when they returned to the manor.
Ms. Enid left after saying something, she was going to prepare a ship to cross the sea to the northern continent. Ms. Judy seemed to have made up her mind to leave here, but there was a trace of pity in her eyes when she looked at Su Ziyu.
Fantsin was drinking alone.
He drank more than anyone else in the past two days, but there was no sign of drunkenness on his face. His expression was calm and his eyes were clear.
The calmer, the scarier.
Su Ziyu didn't know how to comfort him.
Time goes by day by day.
Su Ziyu taught Melissa the White Crow swordsmanship every day, and the sorceresses had too many things to prepare at this time, so no one came to disturb him.
Fantsin has rarely been seen these past two days.
When I occasionally asked the sorceress Nicole who delivered food, she said that Fantsin had been staying with Ms. Elena recently.
The day before the group was about to set off.
Fantsin and Alice quietly left the manor, and before nightfall, he brought back the head of a griffin.
The experienced witcher was wounded.
However, he was in a good mental state and was in the mood to come over to Su Ziyu for a drink in the evening.
"Broken arm?" Su Ziyu silently looked at the old demon hunter in front of him.
"It's just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days." Fantsin smiled, took out a pipe from his pocket, lit it up and asked, "Would you like some? Dwarf stuff!"
Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "Why don't you come with me?"
Fantsin took a puff from his pipe, puffing out smoke and saying, "It's just a griffin. I can handle it."
Su Ziyu didn't say anything.
After a while.
He looked into Fantsin's eyes and asked, "Are you preparing Melissa's trial potion?"
"Yeah." Fantsin did not hide it.
Su Ziyu remembered Ms. Elena, a sorceress who was proficient in alchemy. She told Su Ziyu that he could come to her anytime if he needed any potion.
"I remember you said before that Melissa is not ready yet." Su Ziyu said in a deep voice.
Fantsin took another deep puff of his pipe and said slowly, "Almost. She has improved rapidly during this period. At least she is stronger than I was back then."
“Freedom City is dangerous.”
"Vampires, werewolves, trolls, night demons, etc. live in that land. Many of the monsters we drove away ran to that place."
During the heyday of the Demon Hunters, there were more than a dozen Demon Hunter schools active on the southern continent.
Many monsters were killed and driven away.
Nowadays, humans dominate this land, but when there are not as many monsters as before, the existence of demon hunters is not as important as before.
From the day the army surrounded the Witcher Academy, they had broken with the secular monarchy.
"Elena has the formula for the demon hunter's potion." Fantsin looked at Su Ziyu in front of him and said, "Melissa has a high chance of passing the potion test."
"If she survives."
"I hope you can continue to teach her."
Su Ziyu didn't say anything. He just stared into Fantsin's eyes. After a long while, he nodded and said, "I will."
After getting Su Ziyu's promise, Fan Xin seemed to relax completely.
"Here you go." Fantsin used his intact hand to take out a special badge, a silver-gray, chain-shaped pendant with a raven's head on it. He said slowly, "When you think she has become a qualified demon hunter." "Give this to her."
"I left something for her at Jackdaw Castle."
Su Ziyu reached out and took the badge. It was a magical item that used to be a symbol of a demon hunter's identity, but now many demon hunters would not show it to others.
"Are you making arrangements for your funeral arrangements?" Su Ziyu asked with a frown.
Fantsin grinned, put down the pipe in his hand, and said calmly: "I am just preparing for revenge."
revenge?
It seems that Fantsing is not as calm as he appears these days.
Su Ziyu opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Fantsin. The old demon hunter looked him straight in the eyes and said slowly: "This is my personal matter. You should not interfere."
"Besides."
"They need you. Only if you teach Melissa can I feel at ease to pursue my revenge."
Fantsin's attitude was firm.
Su Ziyu could only sigh softly upon hearing this and said, "Only if you are alive will you have a chance to take revenge."
Fantsin couldn't help but smile, stood up, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I won't die that easily."
At this point, his expression was a little hesitant, and he whispered: "Melissa was once imprisoned by vampires for a long time."
"She has contracted a strange disease that causes her to crave blood on full-moon nights."
"I've asked Elena to treat her."
"The trial potion should be able to eliminate her symptoms, but if she has an attack someday, I hope you can find a way to control her."
"Demon hunter's blood can eliminate this symptom."
In this world, people bitten by vampires will not become vampires. They are a unique kind of intelligent creatures that come from a world where celestial bodies intersect. The way they reproduce is a mystery to demon hunters.
Normally, demon hunters are reluctant to face vampires.
Because they are too dangerous!
Su Ziyu looked a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying all this, Fantsin seemed much more relaxed. He patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Would you like to play a game of Gwent?"
At this time.
Only then did Su Ziyu dare to be sure that he was really just planning revenge and not intending to die.
If an experienced demon hunter abandons his past demon hunter creed and turns into a revenge assassin, perhaps the ones who should really worry about him are his enemies. You know, during the turmoil of the past, more than one king was assassinated by demon hunters. If a demon hunter who is proficient in poison, alchemy, and has inhuman physical fitness turns into an assassin, it is definitely a very scary thing.
They are actually more dangerous than witches because they are a group of hunters dancing on the edge of a knife.
The next day.
The group quietly boarded a large ship near the port. Fantsin did not show any abnormality. He played a game of Gwent with Su Ziyu when he had nothing to do on the boat.
The sorceresses also relaxed a lot after leaving Lund, and some of them even lay on the deck in casual half-revealing long skirts to sunbathe.
Anyway.
They are safe for now.
Now it all depends on whether they can gain a foothold in the Free City. Ms. Enid obviously has her plans.
