Chapter 2656 Blizzard (The Pioneers Let Me Relive the Time of the Black Soul)
For Ciri, Samulia was an extremely mysterious world.
Whether it's the Starlight Tower, which is hundreds of meters high and feels as if it reaches straight into the sky, or the huge battleship that looks like a mountain in the clouds, they all brought Xili an unimaginable shock.
Not only that, Ciri also gets along very well with girls in this world such as Alfin and Laura. For Ciri, she has not had friends of the same age for a long time, and these girls are not like her in other worlds. Like those people in this world or the original world, they are afraid of their own strength. On the contrary, they also have fighting power no less than Ciri. This made Ciri feel very happy. She felt much better in this world than in other worlds.
No one will be malicious to themselves, and no one will be afraid of themselves. They can chat with girls of the same age, and even fight against each other for exercise.
For Ciri, these were very strange but reassuring experiences. The girls also told her the stories of the continent of Samlia and the stories of the different worlds they traveled through, especially mentioning the Resident Evil in Raccoon City --- Shirley finally understood why they had to lock themselves up for observation Reason, think of a city of a million people, most of them turned into the living dead because of a plague... This scene is really scary enough.
After letting go of her defenses, Ciri also told the girls about her own world. She specifically mentioned a profession called a demon hunter. According to Ciri, there are many monsters in her world, but Unlike the simple monsters in this world, there are also monsters like vampires, werewolves, and vampires hidden in the crowd in that world. Demon hunters are people who specialize in hunting these monsters (Laura and the others think this is very similar to guerrillas), and Ciri was trained as a demon hunter in a place called Kaer Morhen when she was a child. Her adoptive father Geralt is a witcher.
However, according to Shirley, the situation of demon hunters in that world is not good. Not only are they discriminated against by others, but sometimes they even risk their lives to complete the task, but the other party is not willing to pay for it... Hearing this, girls I feel incredible. They could never have imagined that such a thing would happen again.
"Why is this so?"
Alice looked at Ciri in surprise, and asked her own question in doubt.
"According to what you said, Miss Shirley, aren't the people in that world generally ordinary people? They can't deal with monsters, so they ask the demon hunters to help, but they are actually unwilling to pay the demon hunters ? This is too much... how can there be such a person."
"I can't say for sure. Anyway... demon hunters are not welcomed in that world. Maybe people think... demon hunters are not human beings at all."
Speaking of this, Ciri gave a helpless wry smile, while the girls looked at each other in blank dismay. They were born in the continent of Samria, so they couldn't imagine such a thing at all. After all, according to Shirley, from the girls' point of view, demon hunters are not that powerful. It is nothing more than stronger physical fitness than ordinary people and the ability to use some magical powers... They can also do this kind of thing, or In the continent of Samlia, as long as you have perseverance and quality, you can become stronger through exercise.
It is also because of this that people in this world will not feel fear or panic when facing guerrillas or superpowers. Instead, they have more respect and longing to say. Therefore, they couldn't understand why ordinary people in that world hated demon hunters so much.
As for not giving money for fighting monsters... This is even more difficult to imagine, and even Shirley said that many times the villagers not only don't give money, but also want to kill the demon hunter... This makes the girls even more I find it extremely absurd, you guys can't even kill monsters, yet you still want to kill a demon hunter who can destroy them?
Think about who entrusts the Sword Master of the Wind to destroy the monsters, and doesn't pay after the monsters are eliminated... Well, I really can't imagine.
What surprised the girls even more was that even if those villagers reneged, most demon hunters would have nothing to do with them, because that world seemed to discriminate against such professions, so even going to the lord for arbitration would not be effective. Therefore, these demon hunters basically have no choice but to leave when the other party breaks their promise.
Because if they attack the villagers in turn, they will be regarded as wanted criminals instead. Of course, it is not uncommon for a demon hunter to be attacked by villagers after completing the task, and then kill the entire village in turn, although he himself is considered a Tone, but this has deepened the world's fear and uneasiness towards demon hunters...
"By the way, let's not talk about that."
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Ciri smiled and changed the subject.
"The thing about the witcher is meaningless. Let me tell you about the vampire."
"Banshee?"
"Yeah, you don't know, there are monsters called vampires in my world, they will disguise themselves as beautiful women, and then wander around the streets late at night, luring men, and then sucking up their blood, this kind of monster On weekdays, she will hide at night, and she will sing a beautiful song to attract those prey..."
Although Ciri had never encountered a vampire herself, any witcher would be able to memorize the monster illustrated book by heart, so she also told a story about a vampire vividly, and the girls who heard it were covered in goosebumps.
"Woo... so scary, I didn't expect such a monster to exist."
"By the way, Laura, Elysee, I remember there seems to be rumors of vampires in your empire."
At this moment, Eileen seemed to think of something, and looked curiously at his companions from the empire beside him.
"Are the vampires in your empire like this too?"
"this……………"
Faced with Eilein's curious question, the girls from the empire all looked confused.
"I do not know about this."
"This is just folklore. I haven't seen real vampires, and I don't know if they are as scary as Miss Ciri said..."
"no!!!"
However, at this moment, Emma suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly, startling everyone.
"Squad leader?"
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Ah... that..."
Sensing the suspicious gazes of others, Emma immediately blushed and lowered her head.
"That... I mean, the vampires in our empire must not look like this. The vampires in our empire should be the kind that is very...very friendly! The kind that doesn't bite!"
".........???"
"Okay, let's go back too, it's going to be dark soon."
Looking at the eyes of her companions around, Emma also hastily changed the subject. Today, the girls from the Martial Arts Department came out to assist the security team to eliminate the "exceptional homework" of wanted monsters, so they are now in the wild forest, and because of this scene, That's why Ciri was asked to talk about the witcher.
"okay."
The others had no idea, nodded and planned to move forward, but at this moment, suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past, making the girls shiver involuntarily.
"Phew...it's so cold!"
"Why is it so cold?"
Feeling the chill coming close to them, the girls were also quite surprised. Although the temperature in the forest does drop in the evening, it is not so low. It is summer now!
But soon, they discovered something even stranger.
"Look, it's snowing!!"
Looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, Laura raised her hands in surprise, and the girls raised their heads in doubt, watching the white snowflakes fall from the sky.
"It's summer now, why is it snowing?"
"what happened?"
The girls looked very puzzled, but Shirley's complexion changed drastically at this moment. She stared around vigilantly, but at the same time, thin mist appeared from all directions, and the sound of horseshoes could be faintly heard in the air.
Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Ciri's complexion finally turned ashen.
"No, it's Wild Hunting!!!"
"Wild Hunt?"
"What is Wild Hunt?"
"They came after me! You guys go!"
While speaking, Ciri also drew out her long sword, wanting to rely on her own strength to block the enemy, but what she didn't expect was that instead of leaving, those girls picked up weapons one after another and spread around Ciri. formation.
"In other words, they are the ones chasing and killing you, Miss Heiri?"
"They actually came to this world? How did they come here?"
"That's right, let them see how powerful we are! Don't worry, Miss Xili, we are not easy to mess with!!"
"this……………"
Seeing the fighting spirited girls around her, Ciri was somewhat at a loss. In the past, she was always alone on the way to escape. Even if there was help, they could not survive the hunting of the wild hunt. It was also because of this that Ciri always kept a distance from others. After all, even her adoptive father and her friends were tortured to death by those Wild Huntsmen, she naturally didn't want to implicate others.
But... these girls...
Ciri had wiped out monsters with them before, and knew how powerful they were. In Ciri's view, these girls were like a mixture of warlocks and demon hunters in their own world. The fighting skills and physical fitness of a demon hunter can even release various magical spells like a warlock.
Maybe they really... can help themselves?
"hiss-----!!!"
Just when Xili had this thought in his mind, suddenly, with a horse neighing in the sky, the next moment everyone saw several figures riding war horses and wearing strange armor descending from the sky, rushing towards them! !
I feel like I'm playing Black Soul now when I'm playing Pioneer...
