Chapter 174: The Demon Hunter

Hearing Leo's words, the white-haired woman only then remembered the matter of language. As Leo had said, this was indeed the first time she had encountered such a conversation, and it could not be explained by any knowledge she could remember.

"Is this world really a dream of the gods?" muttered a white-haired woman with a puzzled face.

Because of her talent, the white-haired woman has been to many wonderful worlds, but most of the differences between those worlds and the world she is in are only differences in civilization and environment, and there has never been a world so wonderful as the world she is in now, which can make anyone understand the different languages spoken by each other.

The white-haired woman asked again: "You just said that you are also from other worlds, so the world you came from is also ...... this world."

Leo replied, "It's different, it's a normal world, with all kinds of different languages, different countries. ”

"How did you get here?" the white-haired woman asked curiously, "Is it the same as me?"

Leo shook his head and said, "I was sent here because of some power that I haven't figured out yet. ”

Hearing Leo's answer, the white-haired woman fell silent again, and after a while asked some questions about the world's customs, environment, and civilization.

In answering the white-haired woman's question, Leo also deduced that the white-haired woman should have a lot of experience in traveling between different civilizations, because these questions are all practical questions, through which the white-haired woman can adapt to the current life in this world in a short time.

After asking about some precautions in life, the white-haired woman was silent for a while, her expression changed from her previous relaxation, and she asked a little seriously: "Last question, is there any danger in this world?"

"I don't know about the other dangers, but ......" Leo stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window and pointed to the lake, "There are some powerful monsters hidden in this lake," and then, pointing in the direction of the distant shore of the lake, "Outside the lake area, behind the city wall, there are also some powerful monsters of unknown origin, and those monsters have all kinds of strange powers, and they are also very dangerous. ”

The white-haired woman walked up to Leo's side and looked out the window, and all she could see was the swarthy surface of the lake, but the faint torches of the city walls in the distance. Although she couldn't see any of the dangers Leo mentioned in the dark, her instincts still gave her a sense of danger, as if there was something terrifying watching her in the darkness of the lake.

The white-haired woman who withdrew her gaze took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and at the same time had some doubts in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Since this place is dangerous, why do people from this world build towns here and live here?"

Leo didn't answer it directly, but returned the question as it was, and said, "Why do you think the people of this world are building towns on this dangerous lake?"

The white-haired woman didn't answer, just smiled awkwardly, in fact, after she said the question, she knew that she had asked a stupid question. If there are other places that are relatively safe, why would the people here build towns on this dangerous lake?

"I don't have a problem anymore. The white-haired woman returned to her chair and said to Leo, "It's your answer." ”

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Leo Dodd, and I'm a traveler with a strong curiosity. Leo sat back and said casually.

"Huh?" The white-haired woman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then a look of obvious embarrassment appeared on her face, it was obvious that she realized that she had just asked so many questions, but she had forgotten the most crucial question, which was also the most ordinary etiquette.

Then, she stood up and saluted Leo with some caution, "My name is Xi...... Uh, no, my name is Givie El, a witcher. ”

Although Leo saw that the name Givy Elle was probably not the real name of the white-haired woman, he did not ask any further questions, but continued to ask questions of interest to him, and said, "Lady Givy Elle ......"

"Yes, Miss. Givy Elle corrected the mistitle, said.

"I'm sorry, Miss Givie El. Leo apologized without much sincerity, and then continued to ask, "Can you tell me how you got into this world? Is it magic? or some other power?"

"This must be magic! Yennefer had mentioned that it was a bloodline power, and that it came from one of my ancestors. Although it involved her own secrets, Jivielle did not hide it and told the truth.

Although she still maintains some vigilance towards Leo in terms of behavior, this is just an instinctive vigilance that strangers should have when getting along, and it is not really repulsive or hostile to Leo.

Gvielle knew very well that Leo had saved her before and healed her, if Leo really had any ill intentions towards her, Leo could have done something to her during the time she had fallen asleep, and her current intact state proved that Leo had no bad intentions for her, at least now she was a trustworthy person.

However, Givie Elle didn't know that she would have this sense of trust in her heart, and even easily told her secrets, which was actually because of Leo's previous series of actions. Otherwise, according to her own character, even if Leo had saved her and had not shown any hostility, she would probably not have revealed her great secret to a stranger.

From the moment Leo took the initiative to let Jivielle ask questions first, the white-haired woman had already fallen into Leo's psychological trap, and then the act of answering each question in detail was like peeling an onion to disintegrate the other party's heart little by little, and finally put the emotion of trust into the heart of this strange woman.

Because no supernatural powers were used, all psychological guidance was hidden in ordinary speech and demeanor, so Jivi Elle, as the person concerned, could not detect any abnormality.

Introducing themselves to each other is a foreshadowing, and the subsequent questioning involving Jivielle's own secrets is a temptation, and Leo already understands that his psychological guidance has succeeded from the moment the other party answers.

Although Leo wanted to know more about the mystery of this space-time psionic energy derived from the bloodline, he also knew that some things should not be overdone, otherwise it would backfire, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Are those people who are chasing you from the ice and snow world where we first met?"

Seeing that Leo did not continue to inquire about her bloodline's power, Jivielle breathed a faint sigh of relief, although she had already told the secret of her own power, she still didn't want to talk about it in her heart, after all, most of the suffering she encountered came from her own bloodline.

"Those are wild hunts, they come from the world of death, and that world of ice and snow is also a world that is stepping into death. Givy Elle replied.

Leo asked with some curiosity, "Do those wild hunters have the same power as you to go to different worlds?"

"No," Givie Elle shook her head, but she couldn't be sure, so she added in a somewhat vague tone, "Maybe not, I don't know." In my world, wild hunts are also a kind of legend, and no one can be sure that they really exist, just as mysterious as the gods. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed that the wild hunt was real. ”

"Then why are they chasing you?" asked Leo again.

"I don't know. Jivielle shook her head a little dazedly, her face became very ugly, and said, "When I saw them, they kept chasing me, and no matter where I fled, they would be able to find them after a while." ”

Under the analysis of the paracerebral system, Leo also had several guesses in his mind, and he tentatively said the most likely guess, "Could it be because of your bloodline?"

"My bloodline?" said Jivielle, stunned, and couldn't help but ponder.

From Jiviel's reaction, Leo could feel that the other party really didn't know why he was being hunted down, and the reason why he had such a guess was entirely because he felt that if he was a wild hunter, he must also be interested in this magical bloodline power that could travel through time and space.

While Jivielle was pondering, Leo was also considering the bloodline on the other party's body, and the possibility of obtaining it from the other.

It was only after thinking for a moment that he shook his head and rejected this idea, in addition to the fact that the wizard transformation technique recorded in the Wizard of the Wilderness notes did not necessarily allow him to perfectly fuse this bloodline gene, and more importantly, he already had an unknown bloodline gene in his body. Before this gene is completely stabilized, it is very likely that the gene itself will collapse if it is hastily fused with other xenogeneous genes.

"I'm sorry, I just thought of something......" At this moment, Jivielle suddenly recovered from her contemplation.

"It's okay, I'm thinking about something too. Leo waved his hand, and then asked with a little concern, "Miss Givy El, if you need a quiet environment to think, then I won't ask the next questions." ”

"No, not necessarily. Givie Elle shook her head and said with a smile, "Actually, I also gained something when answering Mr. Leo's question. Alternatively, you can call me Ciri. ”

"Ciri?"

Givie Elle explained, "That's another name for me. ”

"In that case, you can call me Leo too, let's be casual. Leo smiled, and to the others, it was just a change of title, but in his opinion, it meant that Givy Elle was no longer too wary of herself, and began to see the stranger she had just met as a friend.

Leo didn't boldly ask the other party some privacy questions because of the change in Jiviel's attitude, but chose the questions he was interested in more carefully, and then considered Jiviel's attitude in what she said just now, and then asked: "Ciri, you mentioned a profession called the Demon Hunter just now, can you talk about this matter?"

"Absolutely. Givy Elle has an unusual passion for the Witcher profession, and was very happy to see that Leo, a new friend, seemed to be interested in the profession, and a sincere smile appeared on her face, and she explained the profession in great detail.

When Givy Elle explains the Witcher's profession, Leo is not just a listener, but constantly interjects to ask some key questions, such as the Witcher's Grass Trial, such as the Witcher's alchemy and the unique magic seal, etc., and he is also interested in the phenomenon of the Celestial Sphere Convergence in that world.

According to Jiviel, the world she lives in was originally devoid of magic, demons and other extraordinary powers and creatures, and all transcendent beings began with a mysterious phenomenon called the Celestial Sphere Convergence, which not only brought magical power to that world, but also brought monsters from other worlds to that world.

Leo was interested in the phenomenon of the Celestial Sphere Convergence because when he first heard about it, he had in mind 9 Golden Oak Street, and although there were some differences, it was undeniable that the two phenomena were very similar in more detail.

In addition, the Witcher's Grass Trial also made Leo very interested, because from Jiviel's description, he felt that this Grass Trial was actually another unknown xenogene fusion technology, and it was a relatively mature gene fusion technology.

The apprentice witcher changes his genes by taking herbs that add some special organs of the monster, so as to gain some supernormal powers, such as special vision, supernormal five senses, etc., and the cells of the body are also changed, gaining abilities such as longevity, rapid healing, great strength and stamina, etc.

Moreover, judging from the process of the trainee witcher receiving the Grass Trial, the success or failure of the Grass Trial depends more on the will of the person who accepts the trial, in addition to the potion itself. Only a strong-willed person can survive the great pain caused by the trial, and can finally complete the genetic fusion, otherwise the will will will slacken and fall into a coma, and the gene will collapse and die directly.

Although the Grass Trial is not necessarily suitable for fusing omega-level biological genes, this mature gene fusion technology can also provide Leo with a lot of inspiration, so he is also interested in knowing the formula of the green herb potion.

Unfortunately, Givie Elle said that the recipe for the herbal medicine was lost during a massacre against the Demon Hunters, and she didn't know the exact contents of the potion recipe.

Leo could see that Givie Elle was not lying, so he could only express regret, but Givy Elle's knowledge of witcher alchemy later gave him a different surprise.

Just like the herbalism of the world of Veron, the witcher's alchemy that Jiviel spoke of is also based on herbs, but because some monster organs are added to it, these potions can produce extraordinary effects.

The Witcher's classification of alchemy is very simple, there are only two categories, one is called sword oil, which is a special potion applied to the sword, which can produce obvious damage to some powerful monsters, just like poison. The other type is potions, which are used to take, some of these potions can heal wounds quickly like healing potions, some potions can make people have strong strength and agile movements during the effect time like adrenaline, and some potions can bring certain magical powers to the user, such as night vision and so on.
