The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The two avatars seemed to want to chant the spell at the same time, one on the left and the right to strike the enemy in the middle.

But the next moment, the two clones disappeared with a puff, like a punctured balloon. A purple light flashed in the air next to the golem, and then, a humanoid silhouette appeared in mid-air. Some invisible force pinched Albert by the throat and lifted him into the air little by little. The mage grabbed the invisible arm in front of his throat, but couldn't make any sound, and could only struggle weakly. The wand dropped to the ground, Zelin dashed forward, grabbed the wand, and took it away from the wizard. The demon hunter looked at Cynthia, but surprisingly, the latter was also an unknown appearance, staring at Zelin with the same strange gaze.

"Are you a mage? Demon hunter?"

"No, it's not me..."

"That golem is right. There is a sixth intruder here."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came into the ears of the demon hunter from the door.

"Tishaya?"

The figure of Dean Eritusa appeared at the door, wearing a short violet silk coat with dormouse fur trimmed around the edges. Although in the dirty sewer, his body was spotless.

"Long time no see, Ze Lin."

Tisaya smiled friendly, then jerked her wrists. With a click, Albert's neck was twisted at a strange angle. The dean shook his hand, and the imperial mage's body was thrown out like garbage.

"Well, it's been a long time since I saw you, Tishaya."

Chapter 1886 The truth about the laboratory

"I saw you in the square, and then I saw you and two professors walking into the sewer, so I followed in stealth."

Tisaya turned her fingers to Cynthia, the latter's leather boots gradually leaving the ground, pinched by the throat and dragged into the air. Cynthia threw away the staff immediately, raised her hands, and signaled that she would never attack. She had just seen how Tisya dealt with Albert. The top students from the Imperial Academy of Magic have no resistance in front of a veteran archmage.

"I'm the partner of the Demon Hunter." Cynthia's face was stiff, and she barely squeezed out a few words from her mouth. "Not the enemy."

"Really?" Tisaya turned to Zelin. "Is she lying?"

"Yes, it's not the enemy for the time being." Zelin nodded. "At least she is still a person who abides by the agreement. I reached an agreement with her before. I assisted her to enter the secret room, and she wanted to provide me with information about the empire... You can let go first, I guess she will be killed soon. You are choked to death."

Cynthia's cheeks flushed, her eyes widened, her tongue stretched out unconsciously, as if she was about to break her neck.

"I got it."

Tisaya released her hand, and the invisible arm holding the female warlock disappeared. Cynthia puffed and fell to the ground, clutching her throat and coughing heavily.

"How did you do it?" Zelin asked. "None of my badges detected your chaotic energy fluctuations."

"A little fighting skill." Tisaya arranged the gloves on the wrists, the purple velvet gloves tightly wrapped the slender fingers, and each pearl inlaid on the hollow lace on the edge of the glove was in the proper position. "What the **** is going on? I'm curious why you would cooperate with the people of the Empire, what kind of information do you want?"

"The King Killer."

Tisza Ardent paused and lowered her eyes. "I guess so."

With that, she looked at the messy laboratory in disgust and waved her hand. Everything that was disrupted in the battle flew back to its original position and restored to its original state under the support of invisible magic.

"Dihenner's laboratory." Tisya murmured as she watched the restoration. "You really found a dangerous place."

"Do you know here?"

"Yes, I know. I have been here once, many years ago."

Zelin knew very well that if a time was many years ago for Tisaya, it must be a very long time.

"Have you taken things from here?"

"No, I didn't take the experimental product. The experimental product here should be buried underground forever." Looking at Zelin's puzzled eyes, Tishaya explained. "You see high-end golem technology, astrology charts, and alchemy crystals in the laboratory. But this is not a real success. This laboratory is Dihenner’s Institute of Biology, where he studies the lizardman race. An extinct virus. After the establishment of the Order, after the horrific genocide occurred in Lomune from the wizards of the elves, he immediately set out to study the plague. Di Henner set up a laboratory here, searched for documents, and in many underground secret rooms The bones of the lizardmen were found. Dihenner extracted the reptile tissue and analyzed it, and found the specific manifestation of the plague."

"This may be an alien plague. It does not belong to this world. It may be that insects, mosquitoes, or some creatures that have long been extinct due to unfavorable weather entered our world at the intersection of the celestial spheres. According to the murals left by the lizard people. And the encrypted files show that these lizard people have no time to respond or develop a vaccine after discovering the plague, so they collectively lock themselves in a secret room to prevent the virus from escaping. Only members who have been confirmed safe by magic can leave the city. Lizard People create a golem, and after the last member of the secret room dies, the golem will explode and ignite the flames and burn the corpse."

"I remember someone said that the lizardmen's bones are covered with sword cut marks everywhere?"

Zellin remembers that Roche ridiculed Eofis because of it when he was on the boat.

"Because the symptoms of the virus are to make the host crazy, showing a strong aggressiveness and losing reason. The lizardmen are extinct due to the cannibalism caused by the virus. When we learned of this news, in order not to cause panic, the cult blocked the news. And together with the elves and wizards, they released the results of the research, announcing that the extinction of the lizard people was due to the weather." Tishaya sighed. "This is exactly why the Order of the Warlocks suddenly moved its headquarters from Lomune to Sinide Island. After the headquarters was moved back then, Dihenner, as the leader, stayed with some elves and human researchers. To study virus vaccines."

"Has he succeeded?"

"You know the result."

Zelin also sighed. "Well, yes, I know."

Everyone who knows history knows it. The general of Ridania, Milan Rubeneck of Tritog led his troops across the Ponta River. His soldiers slaughtered all the residents of Lomugne, regardless of age and gender. Ridanias did not The entire city was completely slaughtered as many soldiers were lost, and it was declared that this was a great victory for mankind against the elves.

"After the massacre, research was interrupted and never restarted. This is why in all of Dihenner's laboratory treasure maps, only this treasure map is hidden in the relics, because it is not a treasure at all. , There was a genocide here, and we have yet to find an antidote.” Tishaya looked displeased towards Professor Harid, who was still immersed in the grief of the death of his colleague. "I allowed you and Gaspar to view the records left by Dihenner, but I never remembered allowing you to copy a treasure map privately and take it away."

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Harid said with a cry. "We, we just don't want these technologies to be buried underground and completely forgotten..."

"But you should be honest with me, Mr. Professor."

In this way, Zelin finally understood why the two professors wanted the imperial sorcerers to cooperate, because the northern sorcerers knew that they had Dihenner's treasure map in their hands, and the leader of the sorcerer order would soon know about it. Because the relics of the great mage, except for those with designated heirs, are basically stored in Sinide Island.

"I don't know why the emperor sent two warlocks into Lomune." Tisaya asked maliciously. "Cure diseases to save people? To develop an antidote?"

Zelin and Tishaya looked at Cynthia who stood up while leaning on the wall.

"The order given to me by the Imperial Intelligence Agency was to find the virus medicine hidden in Lomugne, and then take it back to the researchers of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. I don't know what they plan to do, but I think such a dangerous thing is placed in a civilized country. Here, it must be safer than being left in a savage place." Cynthia said. "Of course, it is you who have the upper hand, and the winner speaks. But I hope you can remember our agreement, Demon Hunter. I have complied with the agreement, and I hope you will also."

"About the agreement..."

"Of course the Demon Hunter complied with the agreement with you, otherwise I should have killed you just now." Tisaya interrupted Zelin's words directly, and said to Cynthia in a bad tone. "You can't take anything from the laboratory. I will reseal this place until after the summit meeting is re-established, and then gather researchers to find a way to make a vaccine. This matter does not require the Emperor of the Empire to worry about it. ."

Since the coup on Sinide Island, Tisaya has had no good feelings for the northern kings who tried to evade the power of the sect, and the empire that supported the coup by the likes of Wigwarts and Aalto.

"Okay, okay, speak to the winner." Cynthia raised her hands and signaled that she would not refute or make any unnecessary movements. "But you have to allow me to take something, please, just give me something, even if it is not important, preferably a worthless encrypted file, just throw it to the lunatics of the Imperial Academy of Sciences for interpretation. I beg you If I can’t prove that I completed this operation, the Imperial Intelligence Agency will suspect that I was in collusion with the northerners. You can’t imagine how the Imperial Intelligence Agency treats traitors.”

"But you actually are now?"

"No, demon hunter, before the judge declared me a traitor and signed the arrest warrant, the Imperial Intelligence Service had no reason to arrest me. I need evidence to prove my innocence. Well, you don’t need to laugh at me, just a few documents. . Please, you help me, and I will also help you in the future."

Zelin sighed.

"I remember that Dihenner has several sample documents for dissecting crawling lizards? Tishaya, you check if there are any secrets in those documents. If not, give it to her."

Cynthia did abide by the agreement, and when Albert attacked, she was on Zelin's side.

"You always do this, Zelin." Tisaya stared at Zelin, and after a few seconds, she smiled and shook her head. "It has always been like this. Well, I will check some irrelevant anatomical documents and reports, and let this woman take it away. But, Cynthia, if you explore the magical secrets of the north for the empire again, I promise that it will be you next time. The last time. And at that time, there won't be a demon hunter by my side who will say good things to you."

Seeing Tisya walking towards the bookcase to the side, Cynthia covered her forehead, looking like a headache.

"I didn’t have a choice for the task arranged by the empire. I would either accept the task or be hanged on Millennium Square. Because the warlock refused the entrustment given by the imperial government, it represented dissatisfaction, and the traitor had to die. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to lie down. Being coquettish in that old woman's bed, my orientation is normal." She sighed heavily. "But I think that after the mission did not achieve the expected goal this time, the Imperial Intelligence Agency should not find me to perform the mission in a short time."

"Because of lack of ability?"

"No, because the mission did not meet expectations, I will go to prison for a while." Cynthia shrugged. "Don't worry about Albert. It's normal for the warlock to die during the mission, and no one cares about how he died. Anyway, I brought back the result, proving that I faithfully performed the mission assigned by the Intelligence Bureau. I hope I will get it. There are more women in the cell. I hope that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau can forget me after I am released. By then, they should have more of them like Albert, who recently graduated from the academy and died for the emperor. The new warlock works. I really don’t know what they learned in the academy."
