Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Knight

The tavern guests and prostitutes all let out exclamations and rose to their feet.

Even if they were slow to react, they understood what was going on, this tavern hostess Gina was clearly a degenerate!

Annalie, who was picked up by Seris, did not stand on her feet, and sat directly on the ground, looked at Seris in a daze, and in the sudden situation, she did not come back to her senses at all.

The reason why the ale in Seris's cup can cause damage to Gina is entirely because he took some holy water in advance and spit it back into the cup.

And under the stain of the silver coin, there was actually a sacred inscription, and then in the simple divine emblem holy array, it played a role.

After this set of combos, Gina actually didn't suffer too much damage, but the demon in her body couldn't exert her strength for a while, but that was enough.

Seris's next, the Hidden Blade inserted into Gina's forehead, is the real lore.

The Hidden Blade, engraved with sacred inscriptions and soaked in holy water, allowed the divine power to directly destroy Gina's brain, and the death of the possessed body made the demons in the body of the fallen let out an unwilling howl.

"Sana'a...... Carat! Agu ......"

Gina's beautiful face became hideous, but there was some strange charm in the hideousness, and even some guests in the tavern were still panicking and wanted to escape, after Yu Guang noticed her, he actually stopped, his eyes gradually became a little dull, and he even breathed involuntarily short.

Seris's Hidden Blade gradually became stained with black marks, and a burning heat gradually surged into his body.

The abyssal language with pain spit out from her red lips, which obviously sounded like a curse, but it made people feel that it was a lingering whisper, which made many people's bodies react, and even the prostitutes clamped their legs, and flushed their faces.

But Seris's gray eyes were still clear, and he said lightly: "My lord is in the sky, the truth is the door of knowledge, my lord is in the earth, give wisdom and sort out all desires!" ”

A faint aura was released from his body and then spread.

The guests and prostitutes in the tavern were restored to their senses, and these people, after regaining their senses, chose to run away as soon as possible, and even a few slow-moving people were directly squeezed and fell, and the feet of men and women stomped on their bodies mercilessly.

For a moment, there was a burst of screams in the tavern.

After using the divine word, Seris raised his hand and took out a whole bottle of holy water from the package, directly pulled out the cork on the crystal bottle with his teeth, and then stuffed the crystal bottle directly into Gina's mouth.

Puffs of black smoke poured out of Gina's lips, or rather, her lips and teeth began to rot.

"You will be remembered by me, foolish knight, and I await the day when we meet again...... When that day comes, I will devour you bit by bit, and after you kill me, you and all your family members will be cursed by me, and your soul will fall into the abyss sooner or later. ”

A bewitching voice rang out in the air, in a human language that Seris could understand.

Seris was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Demon, no...... This succubus lady or gentleman is really able to resist. ”

Looking at Gina's vicious gaze, he recited the sacred incantation again, and finally the exorcism of the demon was finally completed after Gina was rotting all that was left with a pitch-black skeleton stained with flesh.

And in the last moment when the demon was expelled, the curse of the demon's anger resounded in the air again.

But Seris didn't care at all.

The only thing that remains in my heart is the idea that this succubus is indeed not simple.

Ordinary exorcisms don't work like this, most of the time as long as the demon is limited to exert its own power, the rest is to follow the normal process.

The corpses of the fallen are generally preserved in a relatively complete manner.

But this time, Seris obviously encountered a dead-eyed demon, it was so hard to stand up to the pain of being burned by the divine power, and confronted Seris, this exorcism was more tiring than four or five consecutive exorcism rituals, at least during the period when he was in a hurry, it could be regarded as rest.

Feeling that the magic in his body was already a little wilting, Seris only felt unlucky.

He pulled out the Hidden Blade that had been inserted into Gina's forehead, and seeing that there was not much divine aura left, and even the sacred inscription engraved on the white blade had distorted most of the Demon Hunting Hidden Blade, Seris gave himself a reason to console.

Well...... At least there is no need to collect loot, and the remnants of the demon's power are concentrated on the Hidden Blade.

"Hunting ...... Lord Witcher, you ...... You okay? ”

It was a soft, weak voice coming from the side.

Seris turned his head and found that Annalie, who wanted to let herself eat her, had not left, the panic on her face had not yet dissipated, she just barely stood up, but she didn't even dare to have the courage to hold the bar, her eyes were staring at him, and her stiff body didn't dare to turn in the direction of Gina's remains at all.

"Of course I'm fine, my prey girl."

Seris chuckled a little.

It was this joke that made Annali's panic a little less, and she barely showed a little smile, and her expression became a little cramped.

Then the girl, who was perhaps only 17 or 8 years old, suddenly tore off a piece of cloth from her arm and handed it to Seris, "If you don't like it, please wipe it with this, in the back room...... I remember there were medicines, but I don't know if they were contaminated. ”

Seris was stunned for a moment, but it was only an instant, and he reacted.

But he just smiled and took the cloth, wiping the blood from his face without care.

Witchers usually need to wrap themselves tightly when hunting demons, but this time, in order to act covertly, Seris did not choose to wrap himself in a white cloth soaked in holy water, which caused his face and hands to cause a lot of corrosive injuries due to the blood spilled by the fallen and the demonic power that overflowed.

But it's not a big problem, just deal with it.

He then casually put the bloody cloth back in the package, and took out another bottle of holy water to purify Gina's corpse.

At last he collected the twenty silver coins, wrapped them in cloth soaked in holy water, and put them in his bosom.

After doing this, Seris was about to leave, but before leaving, he took out a gold coin, put it in Annali's hand, and chuckled, "Please use this, buy a new dress, it will be my return gift." ”

It's not that he doesn't have more money, it's just that if he has more, Annalie won't be able to keep a prostitute.

It was the first time he had been cared for by a stranger after a demon hunt, and for whatever reason, it made Seris happy.

Annalie struggled to say something, but Seris blinked and said briskly, "It's nothing to me, is it?" It's just a piece of clothing, and I've taken advantage of you before, and that's what you deserve. ”

"You're a knight, aren't you?"

Annali said softly with a somewhat complicated expression, the youth in front of her reminded her of her favorite knight stories when she was a child, but when she grew up, she knew that most of the stories were lies.

But she still clenched the gold coin in her hand, maybe this was the cleanest money she could earn in her life, but it was precisely because of this recognition that she no longer dared to look directly at the young man in front of her who was as clean as snow in her heart.

When she looked up again, there was no more of Seris in the tavern.

"Story...... It's just a story. ”

The girl muttered softly.

……

Shortly after leaving the town, Seris stopped, closed his eyes, sensed the direction of his next prey, and changed his direction.

This demon hunt is far from over.

After walking for a short distance, the Hidden Blade hidden in his sleeve turned into ashes and fell from his sleeve on the snow.

The power of the demon was integrated into Seris's body, and under the effect of the divine ritual, he was slowly transformed, and his magic began to grow slowly.

Fluttering ......

In the sky, a crow flew down from the sky and landed straight on Seris's shoulder, and the crow had a package hanging from its beak, which was all Seris's belongings.

As he walked, Seris straddled the package directly over his shoulder, completely ignoring the crow on his shoulder.

"Quack, don't you relax after the battle?"

"It's cold enough, I'm not interested in thinking about that."

"Quack, well, you're always so boring. What's next, what are you going to do? I hope that you can be an honest priest, and that you will not be taken seriously by the higher echelons of the Church of Knowledge just by hunting demons and elevating the priesthood. ”

The raven spoke, and his eyes rolled slightly.

In fact, Seris still needs to call him uncle, because this raven is also surnamed Oink, and he is the first archmage of the Oink's family to master transfiguration, and it is said that he also has half elven blood.

It was the Marquis of Oink, who was specially invited to protect him in the dark for the safety of Seris.

However, during this time, the crow has become a backpack bird entirely.

So it's been very tired lately, and it's desperate to quickly solve the safety problem of Seris, and then go back to continue studying spells.

The transcendent system of this world is divided very simply, knights are knights, knights, and grand knights, while mages are divided into mage apprentices, mages, and archmages.

But each rank spans a lot, and the rank is divided more into the amount of magical power, and the strength of the spirit or body, rather than the real combat power.

And the difference between a mage and a knight is not in the spirit and body, but in the direction of specialization.

Mages are good at occultism, can borrow powerful power from the world, and even from demons and gods, and can use their own magic as a fulcrum to pry the world.

Knights are experts in the use of mind and magic, often possessing great destructive power and leadership, and are good at group combat.

In this world, it is not uncommon for an apprentice to kill a mage, a squire to kill a knight, a mage to assassinate a knight, and an archmage to be crushed by a knight with his bare hands.

The sheer amount of magic is also a kind of strength, but to fully exert it, you still have to rely on extraordinary memories and various occult knowledge.

Cyris, who was a knight's squire at the age of sixteen, relied on a transcendent item given to him by the Marquis of Oinker to turn himself into a dragon, withstood the demon's onslaught, and then finally relied on his deep understanding of rituals to borrow the power of one of the seven gods to kill the demon and close the gate to the abyss.

But after that battle, Seris lay down directly, and it took half a year to recover.

The power of the seven gods is so easy to borrow, even if it is to use the ritual to guide, it is only equivalent to wiping the edge without direct contact, which makes Seris almost die.

But becoming a priest is different, which is equivalent to having internal authority, and in the future, when using the original big ritual, the side effects will be at least half.

Of course, its own strength still needs to be strengthened.

This is also the reason why Seris became a witcher, the stronger the strength, the more knowledge he can use, the more magic power, the more side effects he can bear, and the longer the battle will last.

Under his recent frenzied hunting, Seris, who was originally only a knight, could clearly perceive that the magic power in his body had reached a terrifying level, and it could even shatter a house if it was simply released.

It's a pity that for demons, only the power of the gods can make their will completely exorcized.

"You're on the verge of becoming a great knight, as long as you can master your mind and build your own realm of mind...... Seriously, Seris, you're such a horrible young man, I've never seen a witcher hunt demons like you do. ”

The crow said in some shock.

"One or two short, but it's fast."
