Dark and dilapidated houses.
The four pairs of beasts’ pupils emitted a strange light – four demon hunters gathered around a Gwent chessboard, with cups of beer with a strong smell of malt and hops at hand.
“Bang!”
The young witcher slammed the Gwent cards onto the chessboard, and then gave the hooded and shawl man opposite him a toothy smile,
“You lose!”
“Damn it!” Oaks scratched the back of his head in frustration, “I said Roy, did you lie about your age, fourteen? You can actually beat me, and you won two games in a row.”
“Unprecedented, a big failure!”
Complaining, Oaks picked up a glass of beer and drank it down. He wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his gray sleeves, and then reluctantly took out a sparkling Gwent card from his arms.
“You won my baby again before I even warmed it up!”
“Do you know how powerful you are now?” Lei Suo taunted with sarcastic eyes, “I warned you a long time ago, just have a drink and have a good time, but you have to play cards with this brat.”
“What do you know? Beating Quint is the best way to judge a person’s character… Well… now it seems that the young man is not very good at being a human being. He is neither old nor young, and he doesn’t know how to respect his seniors at all!”
Ox frowned and stared at Roy stubbornly,
“Listen to me! I will fight back the next time to win it back! Seret, don’t drag me! We agreed on three rotations, why are you in a hurry? You can’t let me get angry first. !?”
Roy smiled and put away the Gwent card. On the card was a familiar white-haired face, a character who was included in the Gwent Committee because of the Blavikan massacre who didn’t know how many years ago. ——Geralt of Rivia, the legendary witcher, where is he now?
The boy’s gaze shifted to the opposite side. The demon hunter Oakes behaved like a heartless and careless guy. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is his disguise, after all, he has not been in contact with the other party for a long time.
“Eighty-one years old, the same age as Seret. Are these two guys not only brothers, but also twins?”
Ox and Seret’s attributes are similar to Reso, but there are still a lot of question marks in their attributes. As mature demon hunters, their combat capabilities far exceed that of Roy. In addition to the differences in appearance, their personalities are also completely different.
Oakes is enthusiastic, cheerful and a bit talkative, while Seret is gloomy and quiet, with a hooked nose and narrow eyes, as if he is thinking about conspiracies and conspiracies anytime and anywhere.
“With such contradictory personalities, how can they get along peacefully for decades? Is the blood relationship so strong among demon hunters?”
“I almost forgot about business!” Roy smacked his head and asked eagerly, “Stop quarreling, you two. How are old Moore and Susie doing in Novigrad?”
“I thought you had completely forgotten about the old couple.” Oaks glanced at him, who was slightly ashamed.
He indeed ignored the old Moore couple. They were separated for more than half a year and had no contact with them except for one correspondence.
“Don’t worry, kid, their food stall business in Novigrad is going very smoothly – in fact, without you as a dragster, life would be much smoother.”
“Really?” Roy breathed a sigh of relief, his face looked happy, but also a little unspeakably disappointed.
“They also asked me to bring a piece of good news, a surprise,” Oakes glanced at Roy with a half-smile, and the eyes of brother Seret next to him became strange.
“What surprise?”
“Your old mother Susie is two months pregnant! Next time you see them, you will have an extra brother or sister.”
“Are you surprised?”
“Um…are you pregnant? Brother or sister?”
Roy’s eyebrows knitted together, his mood was extremely complicated, and he was stunned for ten seconds.
Heaved a long sigh of relief.
“I won’t be with them, the old couple will be alone, and there will be a lot of fun with a child. What’s the problem?”
The three demon hunters noticed his abnormality, exchanged glances, and asked him to be quiet for a few minutes. Then, Leisuo comforted him softly, “Kid, you must understand that if you choose the Green Grass Trial, you bid farewell to a normal life.”
“The environment you live in and the people you interact with are completely different from those in the past ten years. Your life trajectory will gradually drift away from your parents until there is no intersection anymore!”
“You mean I will sever ties with them?!” Roy was slightly annoyed, but also a little confused.
“This is not a moral issue… We are destined to be wandering. When you want to settle down, the old Moore couple as normal people are no longer alive.”
Leso said with emotion.
“You will understand later.”
Roy lowered his head and fell into silence.
Ochs brought a glass of wine in front of him, “I have to add something to what Reso said just now…”
He pressed the young demon hunter’s shoulder heavily, “The current environment in the northern countries still discriminates against demon hunters. It is no exaggeration to say that if you often appear next to the old Moore couple, It will greatly affect their normal life.”
“We are not forcing you to make a choice. You have to be mentally prepared. As far as I know, no child can return to his or her original family after becoming a demon hunter.”
“It will only completely separate us.”
……
“Okay, let’s not mention old Moore’s matter for now, let’s continue playing cards.”
Roy shook his head to dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind. These questions could only be verified by him in person in Novigrad in the future to face his own heart.
“Sorry, you three, I don’t have the heart to continue playing cards now.”
“Drinking? The newcomer must accompany us to drink to the fullest!” Seret said with wide eyes,
“Of course, but please allow me to ask a question first.”
Roy glanced at the powerful man, “I have been listening to Leisuo nagging in my ears for more than half a year. The Viper School is on the verge of extinction, so we came to Sintra to do something special to save the school. Arrangements?”
“Can you tell me how critical the Viper School is? Letso, Oakes, and Seret, the four of us are the only remaining witchers of the Serpent School who have achieved great success?”
“See, I said he would definitely ask that!” Oaks showed off to his brother in a serious manner.
“Boy, in addition to the four people present, the serpent sect demon hunter Kolgrim is collecting the lost weapons of the serpent sect all over the world. Another snake sect’s most powerful demon hunter, Ivar Evil Eye, II After disappearing ten years ago, no news has been returned.”
“Don’t mention the last two stupid guys!” There was a hint of anger in Oakes’ tone.
Kolgrim? Roy’s attention was attracted by this familiar name. In my memory, this guy’s body was found in the White Orchard, but it was still ten years before that point in time, and it was still unclear whether he was dead or alive.
“So, there are still four to eight existing snake sect demon hunters?”
In fact, this scale is not uncommon among witcher schools – all witcher schools are in decline.
“How did our school decline to this point? And is the school of the Snake School located in the Nilfgaard Empire in the south?”
“There are so many questions, boy!” Oakes grabbed the wine glass in front of him and took a sip, with a trace of deep loneliness flashing in his eyes,
“The Serpent School is located next to Nilfgaard, in a fortress called Gesved in the Tir Tosha Mountains…” A look of pride appeared on Oakes’ face, “There is an eye-catching tower there. The tower is spiraling with terrifying stairs, and is surrounded by a moat hundreds of feet deep. It is a fortress like a moat.”
“It’s a pity that it has declined after all. As for the reasons, it is more complicated.”
“First of all, in recent years, the requirements for law and order in the Nilfgaard Empire have become higher and higher,” Leisuo took over his words and laughed at himself, “Skilled aliens like us can easily stray from the law. Outside the country, the empire did not tolerate it, so it was suppressed.”
“The empire’s negative publicity has made the living environment of southern witchers more and more difficult. The people no longer believe in us, and the law of accidents is considered a dirty magic to them. They are even less likely to give their children as payment. We train.”
“We thought about adopting displaced war orphans, but people reported it as an evil act.”
Roy agreed. Even in the north, there are fewer and fewer accidental children, and people’s prejudice against demon hunters is getting deeper and deeper.
“Without the soil for the survival of the Witcher Academy in the South, the Academy will naturally wither away. However, I firmly believe that this situation can be improved. The misunderstanding of the Witcher by the people and the country will eventually be eliminated.”
Leso clenched his fists.
“But it was the disaster twenty years ago that dealt the fatal blow to Viper Academy.”
“Disaster? What disaster?” There are very few documents about the Viper School, and even the specific address is mysterious, let alone the academy disaster.
“This is a disaster caused by the Wild Hunt.” Letso looked at the young witcher and said, “Kid, don’t you know a lot about things? Have you ever heard of the Wild Hunt?”
The latter’s face darkened. Of course he knew about the famous Wild Hunt.
The bald man began to introduce again,
“In folklore, the Wild Hunt are a group of immortal ghost knights. They wear rusty armor, hold lightning-shaped swords, ride skeletal horses, and travel in groups across the sky. They usually appear In winter, or the long night before a war, they wreak havoc on the world, burning orchards and houses, taking away the living… mostly children.”
However, in fact, Roy knew very well that the true identity of the Wild Hunt was the Ain El tribe from another world, which was one of the branches of the elves.
They traveled across countless worlds and transformed into ghost knights, just to find the successor of the ancient blood and regain the complete ability to travel through time and space.
“This is not a legendary story.” At this time, Lei Suo gritted his teeth and said, “More than twenty years ago, due to the absence of Lord Evil Eye and two idiots, the Viper School failed to withstand the attack of the Wild Hunt. The two children who had just passed the Green Grass Trial were all kidnapped by the Wild Hunt army. The school has no successors and is facing dissolution.”
“Wait!” Roy said in surprise, “What do you mean? The Wild Hunt has attacked Viper Academy more than once?”
“That’s right…” Seret’s face on the other side was as cold as ice. “Each school has its own strength test, and Viper Academy will undergo a Wild Hunt every ten years. Baptize and test the new demon hunters.”
“In fact, when the school was founded, it designated the Wild Hunt as its lifelong enemy. Because the great founder of the school, our mentor Ivar Evil Eye, had a lofty ideal to defeat the Wild Hunt and end them. Bring fear to the world!”
“Kid, you have to remember that this is the ultimate goal of any snake sect demon hunter, and its priority is no less than revitalizing the school.”
“I remember, I promise you, defeating the Wild Hunt will be my lifelong pursuit…”
Roy made the promise solemnly, and a question in his mind was answered.
“The Snake Sect will preserve a large amount of literature about the Wild Hunt, so that’s what happened.”
However, the Snake Sect is really a complex school ~IndoMTL.com~ which has engaged in vicious assassinations, but also has lofty ultimate ideals.
“Guys, I’ve always been curious, why is Lord Ivar’s name called the Evil Eye? What’s the special significance?” This caste does not exist in the world of demon hunters, and it was definitely made up by the Lord himself.
“Because Lord Ivar…” Reso’s amber pupils revealed a look of reverence, “His eyes gained a unique ability during the mutation… he can see other infinite worlds, hence the name ‘Evil Eyes’ ‘.”
“Through the evil eye, he kept seeing scenes of plundering, slaughtering and conquest by the ghost knights of the Wild Hunt. These ghosts became the teacher’s obsession and his original intention of founding the sect.”
So is the missing founder of the Snake Sect still alive?
Roy had a hunch in his heart that maybe that Excellency was just lost in another plane.
