Chapter 13: Dante the Witcher
"Wait a minute, do I need to do anything to prepare......"
Before the words fell, with a strong sense of weightlessness, Li Ang ushered in the first cross-space teleportation in his life.
His ears were buzzing, his brain was in chaos, all thoughts were briefly suspended, and his temples burst out as if they were about to burst open on the spot.
"Clear water is like a spring. β
A cool sensation came through his brain, the buzzing in his ears faded away, and he could see the colors in front of him again.
Angelina touched Leon's head with concern: "You are too poor to adapt to this kind of long-distance teleportation, and it will be much better when you get home and your mother will give you a full set of apprentice potions." β
"Thank you...... Thank you. β
Leon still felt a little drowsy in his brain, and his feet were unsteady, and he didn't let go of Ms. Angelina's hand for a long time.
"Still uncomfortable?"
"Refreshed!"
The incantation sounded, and Li Ang felt that his mind suddenly cleared, and he completely broke free from the weightlessness, and an indescribable sense of comfort arose.
"This is witchcraft?
Leon felt fresh, and a little envious, but unfortunately he was just a "Muggle".
Lagaia smiled and explained, "It's just two apprentice witchcraft, if it weren't for my mother, the effect wouldn't be so good." β
Angelina clapped her hands: "Okay children, get ready to visit the owner here, don't be rude." β
"Yes. β
"Good. β
Leon had time to look around.
It's still a forest, but the trees aren't as tall as the Witches' Forest, and it's the height of summer, and the leaves reveal an unhealthy yellow.
Lagaia whispered, "I feel the pain of this wood. β
Angelina nodded: "The power of demons represents destruction after all, even if it is just the breath that Dante unconsciously emits, it also represents the end of all things. β
"But don't offend the witcher, that wasn't his intention, and we asked him. β
The two nodded solemnly, and the group walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
It's still a few hundred meters away from Dante's quarters, and no wizard would be so quick as to teleport directly to a witcher's house, which would not only mean rudeness, but also be vulnerable to a sneak attack by the owner.
Although the wizard is not as weak in melee combat as the magician described in the fantasy novel, it is also a spell casting profession in the final analysis, so it is not the first iron to compare with the full-time melee witcher?
As they advanced, the trees around them became more and more withered, until a bleak forest resembled an autumn forest, littered with dead branches and leaves.
And among the dead trees, a simple and ordinary log cabin lay quietly, without even a fence.
Angelina said: "This legendary witcher did not settle here for long, and it is said that he roamed the countries of Europe for many years, hunting and killing the legendary creatures of darkness. β
"It's a laugh to see a legend or something. β
A very gentle voice sounded in the ears of the three of them.
At the same time, the wooden door opened, and Dante the Witcher slowly stepped out of it.
It is hard to imagine that this man, who is said to be a hybrid of demons and humans, is so handsome, with short blond hair, a warm smile, a short, well-trimmed beard at his chin, and if he is not dressed roughly, he looks like a great nobleman of Venice.
He came with a smile: "Dear Lady Angelina, beautiful Miss Lagaia and this unknown but very handsome gentleman, although I don't know what I mean, I still very much welcome to the Humble House. β
Although his attitude was very friendly, Leon found that fine sweat immediately oozed from his back, like the spiny dragon he had seen in the morning...... No, it's much more dangerous than that!
On the other hand, Angelina and Lagaia don't seem to be out of the ordinary.
Angelina bowed slightly: "Your Excellency Dante, we actually have a request for you this time - my young son Leon is infected with the breath of the devil, and I know very little about the demon, so I can only ask Your Excellency to help get rid of it, and I will be grateful after the deed." β
Dante still had a smile on his face, and he nodded lightly: "It's just a gesture, just thank you." β
"Mr. Leon, I'm going to probe your body. β
"Okay. β
Leon nodded stiffly.
Dante seemed to see his nervousness and uneasiness, and chuckled, "Your beast instincts are good, but don't worry, I won't hurt you." β
He put his hand on Leon's shoulder.
After a moment, he said with a strange expression, "Can I take back what I just said?"
He rubbed his eyebrows, a little distressed, "I'm sorry, I'm too conceited, I should have known that something as great an existence as you would find tricky and difficult to do would definitely not be so simple." β
Angelina frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I can't get rid of the demonic aura from him. β
"How is this possible?"
Dante said helplessly: "Lady Angelina, although you are one of the greatest wizards in the world, I do know more than you in demonology, and I think this is why you came to me for help. β
Angelina worried: "Then there is nothing that can be done? If this continues, even if I mix a potion to suppress the demonic aura for him every day, Leon will have a high probability of being eroded into a monster before he is thirty years old." β
Dante exclaimed, "Your prowess in potions is heartbreaking, and I estimated that he would have only three years at most. β
Angelina immediately understood the deeper meaning,
She gritted her teeth and said, "If you can solve Leon's problem, I can tailor a bottle of high-grade potions for you, as well as any kind of tenth-order potions." β
"It is an honor to serve you, dear lady. Dante was overjoyed, "I can't get rid of the demonic aura in him, but I can lead him to the path of a witcher - if the demonic aura is compared to an intruding beast, why not let the owner of the house tame him into a hound?"
Angelina frowned, "Demon Hunter?"
"Rest assured, it's great value for money. With all due respect, the calamity that befell your son is a great talent for a witcher, and there is no one more suitable to be a witcher than him. β
"As for the demon hunter carrying the curse, with your help and me leading the way, there is a high probability that he will not go astray. β
Dante bowed gracefully, with a somewhat pompous gesture: "I'll examine his body carefully again." β
"Hmmβit's just the blood of a dwarf demon......"
"It's a pity, I can absorb the talent of demons independently, and if I hunt a big demon with spatial ability for the first time, I may be able to surpass me in the future. β
"Absorbing the power of demon bloodline is the cornerstone of a demon hunter's strength, and any demon hunter can only absorb the talent of one demon in his lifetime, and it is a pity to miss such a good opportunity. β
Hearing this, Li Ang's expression was slightly stunned, his talent seemed to be able to devour the talent of multiple demons.
Just as he was thinking about it, Dante asked, "What kind of talent did you get, harden your skin, harden your skin, grow fast, oh yes, you don't understand, that is, what changes have you made in your body?"
Leon replied, "My strength and endurance have increased a lot. β
Dante touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "It turned out to be Juli." β
"Juli's words are indeed a bit ordinary. β
"But it doesn't matter, it's better than the talent of rapid growth, which can sometimes even be said to have negative effects. β
"I've seen an unlucky guy who has learned the gift of rapid growth, and since then he has gained weight even if he eats only an eighth of a pound of black bread mixed with sand a day, and when we met twelve years ago, he was already a small mountain, and now, most likely, he is dead. β
"Obesity is a nightmare for a fighter. β
Li Ang suddenly felt a chill in his back, fortunately his luck was not so bad, but the talent of this dwarf demon is really a bit "material is not conserved", as if later generations ridiculed "drinking cold water will grow meat", if this ability can be transplanted to pigs, it would be good, and I don't know if the price of pork in later generations has fallen.
Lagaia was a little curious, "And what is your talent?"
Dante laughed, "My teacher helped me hunt down an Hellfire Overseer, and the talent I drew was its anti-magic shell, which made me almost immune to lower magic, and at least half of my resistance to higher magic. β
Angelina frowned.
To be honest, the reason why she is reluctant to deal with Dante is also this, the other party has the reputation of "mage nemesis" in the European magic world, if there is anyone else in this world who can threaten her, Dante is definitely in the top three.
Speaking of this, Dante was also a little glad: "Most of the demons are good at melee combat, but other than that, they have more or less mastered a certain amount of natural magic, and I must admit that my luck is good enough." β
"You must know that Hellfire, as a high-elemental demon, can draw twelve talents, and the Overseer may double it. β
He explained to Leon, "The first step to becoming a witcher is to hunt a demon and loot the core talents that belong to the witcher, and you can already skip this step. β
"So you can now go directly with me to practice demon hunting techniques and meditation methods. β
"Meditation is a way to strengthen spiritual power, although we don't pay attention to the strength of mental power like wizards, but against demons, there is no strong will, and no matter how powerful the power is, it may become the minions of demons in an instant, especially a demon called Nasrezm, they are the best at demagoguery, and many witchers who have become minions of the abyss have fallen under their temptation. β
"Lady Angelina, you can go back first, learning to practice requires a process, it's noon, and you can come and pick up people in the evening. β
Angelina nodded, "Okay." β
She said to Leon again: "This is a rare opportunity, learn from His Excellency Dante, since you have the talent of a witcher, it is better than being a little witch." β
It's just that this path must be more thorny and bumpy than the wizard's path.
Angelina didn't say the latter sentence, but she was a little relieved when she thought of having her own backing and Dante as the guide.
"Okay, Mom. β
Lagaia waved her fist at him, "Come on Leon, we'll wait for you to come back for the Dryad Firefly." β
"Okay, sister. β
Leon nodded, and then the rainbow flashed, and Angelina and Lagaia had disappeared in place.
