Feng Longde's proposal made Gelot stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Feng Longde, who was holding the reins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hunting griffons is a very dangerous thing, and even for demon hunters who specialize in this kind of thing, the slightest mistake can kill them under the beak or claws of a griffin, so it's better not to get involved. Gallott said in as calm a tone as he could, after all, his face that didn't show much emotion could easily be mistaken for fear of stealing his business.

"You think I'm a novice rookie who has never been exposed to monsters, do you?" Feng Longde shrugged, a pair of green lights seemed to flicker in the peephole of the demon's ring-winged barrel helmet, "I have hunted a lot of monsters, monsters, and monsters in this enchanted forest and the lost bamboo forest to the east of the world, and almost every day I will hunt in these two places on an undead war horse in full armor, like evil ghosts, Andregg, and crab spiders, I can't remember how many I have hunted. ”

"It seems that you have a lot of experience dealing with monsters, so allow me to apologize for my judgment that I thought you knew nothing about monsters. Gallott bowed slightly stiffly to Von Rond on the back of Roche's horse, but his tone still sounded gentle, "But the griffin is a very fierce hybrid creature, and it is more difficult to deal with than the common evil spirits, Andregg, and crab spiders. On top of that, griffons can fly, which makes it very tricky to deal with them. ”

"Griffons can fly, and I have some of the guys I carry with me that can be used against the air. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, pulled out his pulley steel crossbow directly from the side of the undead war horse under his crotch, and swung it at Gelot a few times, "Anyway, against the winged guys, I always shoot directly at the wings, I have never seen an animal whose wings can maintain a good balance and continue to fly after being shot by a crossbow bolt of a wheel steel crossbow, at least I have never seen it when hunting all kinds of birds." ”

"In that case......" Looking at the well-made pulley steel crossbow that Feng Longde was holding in his hand, Gallott scratched the snow-white hair on his head, "Then let's go and have a look, I also have a steel crossbow myself, as long as I pay attention to the timing and order of alternate shots, I will be much more sure of dealing with griffins flying in mid-air." ”

"Okay. Von Longde nodded, it was a very rare opportunity to be able to hunt monsters with Gelot, a demon hunter, or to deal with a griffin, a creature that has been described in most myths and legends in the outside world, and if they let Weisk know, they would probably be envious to death. Not to mention the wonderful battles that can be experienced when fighting together with Gelot, a white-haired wolf demon hunter, just witnessing his swordsmanship is enough to be impressive: in the world in which Gelot was originally located, people liked to name Garrowt's swordsmanship style after the ballet term 'Piruette', because Garrowt's swordsmanship was both gorgeous, Speed and practicality, wielding a sword with the grace of a dancer, each blow as deadly and swift as the battle axe in the hands of the warriors of the Skelly Islands, and Dandrien, the famous bard and Gelot's best friend, constantly sang poems about Galot's deeds during his travels, making Galot's reputation as the first swordsman of the north and his famous 'Grey Piruette Dance' sung in every kingdom in the north of the continent.

"Then let's start searching, this place seems to be on the edge of the enchanted forest, the overall terrain is quite empty, otherwise the griffin will not be in this area for so long, too dense forests will restrict its movement and affect its hunting activities, mountains and plains are the most ideal areas for its activities. Gelot said, shaking the reins, "Run, Roch!"

"Hopefully we have a good hunt. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, shaking the reins he was holding as well, driving the undead horse under his crotch to run with Gelot.

During the short time he spent walking with Gelot, Von Rond chatted with Galot, who was riding a horse and looking for traces of griffins, from time to time, while silently recalling some of the descriptions of Gallot that Weisk and Lilia had given him the previous night, and synthesizing them based on his own experience.

With swift-like hands, hair and beard as white as an ice wolf, and evil cat eyes like a black cat...... Gallott, who has the same appearance, is often easily recognized as a thief with dirty methods, and can easily be cut down for seemingly high-sounding but actually ridiculous reasons, but in reality, Gallott's status as a demon hunter is not necessarily much better than that of a thief or a robber bandit As a demon hunter, Gallott can accept any dirty and hard work, for which his only requirement is that he needs a proper reward, and an iron rule that the wolf demon hunters abide by, that is, not to harm humans。

However, things are not as expected: malevolent humans are always around, and the monsters that attack and kill humans just for the sake of their stomachs sometimes seem far kinder than humans...... The world in which Gallot lived was filled with such a gloomy tone, where there was only a vague and elusive line between good and evil, and everything was shrouded in gray shades. In addition to the two most striking examples, there are too many of them to become squirrel parties that ransack human caravans and slaughter human towns because they have difficulty solving their own problems of food and clothing and discriminatory treatment by humans, and the Knights of the Flame Rose, who claim to be the embodiment of justice and fairness, but are in fact executioners of genocide...... As the years passed, the angry Squirrel Elves finally fought against the hypocritical and arrogant Flame Rose Knights, and the major countries at the north and south ends of the continent took advantage of the chaos to start a stir, war and turmoil were on the verge of breaking out, and the already rare and precious peace was completely gone.

Faced with such a chaotic world, hundreds of years ago by wizards, The neutrality of the demon hunters of the various factions created by the mages and sorceresses has finally begun to fail, and as a result, the demon hunters of each faction have become fewer and fewer with the passage of time, and Gelot of Rivia has become one of the few survivors of the wolf demon hunter base camp of the Kelmohan faction that still stands in the mountains, and among the demon hunters of the other factions, only the Viper School and the Cat School have some remaining demon hunters, and people like the Griffin School, The Manticore Lion School and the Bear School are suspected to be extinct, and there is no trace of them except for the armor-making blueprints that once existed, the weapon-making blueprints, and the small number of weapons and armor that are still circulating in the world.

Whether Gallott's original world is a real world, or a fantasy masterpiece written by a Polish novelist in a modern human society outside, in short, what Galllot has experienced and what has happened in his original world is almost everywhere a tribute and mockery of traditional fantasy literature, with a spicy but realistic brushstroke.

A great man in Chinese history and Shakespeare in the West once said something similar, that is, the so-called tragedy, that is, the destruction of the most beautiful things for people to see.

If you just look at what Gallott experienced and what happened in his original world as a novel, then it is definitely a huge and complex fantasy literature: unlike the Chinese domestic fantasy literature that appeared in large quantities in the early years under the influence of the Japanese RPG game "Dragon Quest" or other so-called fantasy games that have been changed by magic, the "Witcher" series of novels resonates strongly with readers by relying on reality. The same is true of other truly traditional and authentic fantasy literature - the British writer Tolkien used his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy to express his reflections on modern industrialization and war, and under his influence, the Polish fantasy novelist André did not shy away from describing the confusion of social values, the lack of social morality and ethics, and racial discrimination in "The Witcher", and described it in quite a bit, constituting all aspects of the world in which Gelot originally lived...... In other words, through this Polish fantasy novelist, the real world in which Gallott lived can be revealed in the modern human society outside.

The confusion of good and evil and the reversal of beauty and ugliness are just commonplace things in Gelot's original world: I don't know if it's because of the information interference between each world, the Polish fantasy novelist Andrei is best at, or the most common thing in Gelot's original world, is to mercilessly smash what seems beautiful in front of you - for example, in "The Witcher I" In the prologue of the game, a priest of the Temple of Eternal Fire in a village tasked Gallot with investigating the unsolved case of a girl in the village, and when Gallott struggled to gather various clues, he found that the girl had committed suicide by being raped by the captain of the guard, who seemed to be the most honest in the village...... The female herbalist in the village, who seemed to be the kindest, provided the girl with a poison for her suicide, even though she had no idea about it. Through various signs and analysis, Gallot will find that the village chief, the priest, the smuggling leader and the captain of the guard have already established a close network, and all the investigations entrusted to Gallott are just to blame the female herbalist for all the crimes, and the already fragile value system has finally collapsed due to the arrival of demon hunters, so it is still ordinary civilians who are harmed.

As it turned out, the real emotion was still to come: when the game was about to end or that Gallott, who had been working hard for the commission, was about to finish his work, Gallott, who had worked hard for the village, became the enemy of the entire village. Inspired by the religion of the priest of the Temple of Eternal Fire, the fanatical and ignorant villagers tried to burn Gallot and the herbalist doctor he saved at the stake, regardless of their contributions to the stability of the village, and eventually, the monster "Blood Demon Dog", which grew up due to the ignorance of all the villagers and the evil accumulated from it, was completely born, and slaughtered all the villagers in the village.

In the game "The Witcher I", whether the player handed over the female herbalist doctor to the ignorant villagers who were instigated by fanatical religious sentiments, or openly broke with the villagers of the entire village, it would be impossible to undo the fate of the entire village being slaughtered by the Blood Demon Dogs - such a desperate event and result ********** a rather inconspicuous thing in the real world in which Gelot lived in the prologue of "The Witcher I" and the very inconspicuous thing in the real world in which Galot lived.

As a wolf demon hunter who is almost 100 years old, Gallott has long been accustomed to all this, because he has long since stopped trusting anyone easily, but what about players who play the "Witcher" series of games? The "Witcher" series of games and novels are obviously not suitable for young players and young readers, because the topic is too heavy, and it is likely to be completely incomprehensible to minors who basically play games and read novels just to have fun...... But for older players and readers who have a lot of experience or have already had some life experience, the games and novels of the "Witcher" series can give them a great sense of empathy and pain, because these things have corresponding shadows and reflections in real life.

Demon hunters have strict iron rules, they strictly abide by neutrality, and exist as a gray standard in the world in which they live: the original intention and function of demon hunters is only to help people eliminate the threat of various monsters to them, and in exchange for the payment of sustaining their lives, but in an era of extremely indifferent concepts of good and evil, the threat of various monsters to humans is often not as strong as the intrigue between humans and humans, and because of their neutral situation and special racial identity, demon hunters who are mutants have gradually become a substitute for ignorant ordinary people to vent their anger。

These descriptions of various settings, as well as his feelings for Gallott, made Feng Longde feel very emotional. (To be continued.) )
