Chapter 45.Zell is my teacher
Zell bent down and approached Gustav, his pupils a little small, full of suspicion and disdain.
"What's your name?" Zell straightened up, his right little finger hooking his right bangs.
Gustav smiled shyly: "Gustav Odinson, I am a member of the mountains and seas, and I came to study at the Igobrai Academy in Redfarr. ”
Zell let out an exaggerated laugh.
"Hey, in the plane of the Second Arcane Republic, is there anyone who doesn't have the first goal of becoming an Arcanist?"
Zell pinched Gustav's muscles with his hand, like choosing a steak in a butcher's shop, and said, "It's so thin, it's like a lamb, I doubt your body can pick up a sword." ”
Gustav said without humility or arrogance: "I am currently learning swordsmanship, and I believe that I will be able to catch up soon." I will take the Sunset Stream in the Nine Swords as my goal and train my Sage Sword. I'm doing well, and I'm trained by a self-disciplined female knight who is very happy with my effort. ”
Zell looked at Gustav suspiciously, "Sword of the Sage?"
Then his expression became lewd: "Is the self-disciplined female knight? is it nice, Gustav, is she pretty?"
'Shocked' by Zell's leaping thoughts, Gustav was speechless for a moment.
Zell coughed and changed to a more formal tone, "If you just got the idea because of the reputation of the Dark Inquisitor Genaro, or the nonsense of the bards in the tavern who only make up stories, just come to our Witcher's Guild, we don't need such a stupid X." ”
Zel's eyes became cloudy: "Look at that stupid village girl." ”
He pointed to the human girl he had just teased, and Zell lowered his voice, "Her home is in a small border village, and the place is remote. So, that place was chosen by a demon sorcerer to summon demons in her village. Almost all of them died, but fortunately the demon and the warlock did not come to an agreement, and in the end the warlock was killed by the demon, which was considered a summoning fee. Otherwise, how do you think a stupid and stupid girl would come to the Witcher's Guild?"
Gustav looked at the girl, who he remembered saying something in defense of Reinhardt, only to be teased and reddened.
As if sensing Gustav's gaze, the girl turned her head, thinking that Zell was going to play tricks on her again, so she didn't have a good face at first. After discovering that it was Gustav watching, she put on a nice smile and nodded.
"There are other people......" Zell finally got serious, and there was some chatter.
Gustav knew that Zell wanted to use this example to show himself that the road to becoming a witcher was not easy.
However, I don't have time to procrastinate......
"I had a holiday with the Council of the Children of the Night, and at the same time I got into trouble with the descendants of the great nobles of the Gustan dynasty. Gustav said quickly, "If they put a curse on me, or if they do something unusual, I need something to deal with." Perhaps, I could have asked the higher-ups for protection from Redfar, but the methods of the Children of the Night are notoriously ruthless and insane, and I don't think even the prestige of the Red Dragon Capital is enough to completely deter them. The great nobles of the Gustan dynasty came to the Arcane Second Republic in the name of study tours, and they themselves had diplomatic interests. Even if I can expel him through the rules, I'm afraid they'll take revenge on me through the Council of the Night's Children. ”
Gustav's words brought Zell's words to an abrupt halt.
The Council of the Nightchildren?
Zell thought it through.
As a member of the Witcher's Guild, Zell clearly knows a lot about the Council of the Night's Suns. Worship the demon god Dread Source Night Mother, take pride in sadism, take pain as pleasure, and wail as beauty, everything there is incompatible with the outside world. The actions of the Children of the Night are not logical at all, and what seems to be very costly or completely unprofitable in the eyes of normal people is often imperative in the eyes of the Children of the Night. In the Witcher's Guild, four out of fifteen requests are often related to the Children of the Night.
"I feel the curse of the Mother of Night, and if it weren't for Fryer's protection, I would have been reduced to a man of darkness. Gustav continued, without any emotion: "It is as if the whole body has become a source of pain, the self-protection mechanism of the brain has been completely bypassed, every moment, every minute, after closing the eyes, there is the murmur of the Night Mother and the crazy words of the demon god. My spirit became weak, my will was low, and I wanted to sink immediately, and I lost my resistance. ”
Zell's expression really became serious this time.
"Redfarr can't guarantee my complete safety, not even the Arcane Second Republic. They are just a bunch of crazy people who only kill without asking the cost, and the Night Mother never cares if the painful wails come from the strong or ordinary people, for this demon god, screaming is the most beautiful music, and blood is the emollient when bathing. If I didn't have a specific class trait, I believe that as long as I fall out with them, I will be greeted by a level 10 dark professional. ”
Gustav looked at Zell earnestly: "The Conqueror of the Abyss, perhaps it really can't protect my safety at all. However, being a witcher allows me to gain more possibilities for survival. I don't want my life to be in the shadow of darkness forever, and I need some special powers before I'm strong enough to repel any schemes. Demon Revelator, the class traits have special effects on demons and demons, and I need that power. ”
"I want to live, and live well. This arcane world is too exciting, and I can't bear to die. ”
Zell sighed.
Gustav's words attracted the attention of many people, and they basically gathered around.
"You weren't followed when you came, were you?" asked Zell.
Gustav's heart beat faster, realized something, and quickly said: "No, they thought I was cursed and let their guard down on me. And I'm still in the kind of unnoticeable in the response sequence of the Children of the Night, so far, only a few thugs have entangled me. ”
Zell pursed his lips.
"What I can tell you is that once you decide to become a Demon Revelator, once you become a Demon Revelator, once the matter of your becoming a Demon Revelator is known to the Children of the Night who have cursed you, you will be greeted with endless revenge. Zell thought about it for a moment, and continued, "You may be able to move into our guild's sanctuary area, the witchers have a place in Redfarr that is guarded by powerful people, and it may be safe there. ”
Gustav thought about it.
So far, he has been faintly aware of some kind of abnormality in his body, which is a power-stealing mechanism similar to blasphemy priesthood, which allows him to use the power of the bloodline by intersecting with some demon gods or gods through the method of recall. The mechanism of this mechanism is not clear, but it should be possible to simulate the breath of the Night Mother of the Fear Origin.
"It may sound risky, but I'd like to be able to carry it myself for the time being. Gustav shook his head: "I have some secrets about how to hide my breath, and I should be very safe. ”
"Okay then, you follow me first, the study of the Demon Pattern Revelator can be painful, are you prepared?" Zell looked around: "Among the rest of these people, it seems that I am the most idle, right?"
"I am not afraid of pain, and after being cursed by the Night Mother to be 'lucky', I believe that nothing can be more painful than that feeling. ”
Smiling sincerely, Gustav said, "Thank you, Mr. Zell!"
