Chapter 320 319. The Demon Hunter’s View of God
Four people and two horses were running on the road, with Ciri guiding them the whole way.
Lan En and the other three adults were surprised to find that although Xili had no idea where Brugg City was, she could always choose the right one every time she came to an intersection.
This kind of guidance that can directly obtain answers without relying on information and knowledge makes people fully feel the powerful effect of the so-called 'blood of the ancients'.
People always tend to chat on the road.
Geralt finally had a chance to ask the questions he had bottled up in Duane Canal last night.
"Old Esna treats you differently, Lann."
Geralt raised his head, so Ciri and Vesemir looked at Lann. Hopefully he can satisfy his curiosity.
“She said, ‘Every creature in this world that relies on material foundations should be grateful to you.’ What does this mean? Apart from that time [Lord Hunting], have you ever done anything that made you famous? ? How come we know nothing?”
The horses’ hooves clattered on the road, and several people exhaled thick white smoke in the winter morning fog, making it difficult for them to see Lan En’s expression. .
"I just drove away a monster."
The young man paused.
"With the help of several gods."
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, Ciri was excited and surprised, Vesemir's expression was behind her, and Lan couldn't see it.
But Geralt became more straightforward after hearing the news.
"Driving away a monster? With the help of gods? Well, I have to say, Lan En. You are a demon hunter who can tell stories. A few words can make people scratch their heads, but at the same time, this story also makes people feel sad. Lost credibility."
This veteran demon hunter master who traveled far and wide made the assertion.
“I have never seen a monster whose scope of influence can cover an entire city, let alone a country, and when Aisna described your achievements, she wanted to drag all the lives with her. I I have never seen this kind of monster."
"And the help of 'gods'? When you said this, I felt like I was listening to Esna telling me what 'destiny' is."< br>
“They are all illusory things. I have seen people in the village regard the sudden croaking of frogs on rainy days as an oracle, and I have also seen people who live in the woods regard the deer-headed spirit as the god of the forest. . I have also been to the Meriteli Temple in Elland, which is the center of the Meriteli faith in the world, but the high priest there admitted to me that no miracles ever happened, just a group of good people gathered together to do it. It’s just a good thing.”
"What? The one who helps you eradicate a monster that threatens the world is the Father of the Sky? Isn't Cliff the incarnation of thunder and lightning who hates evil? That sect is really not that big."
Geralt's barrage of attacks As if saying this, Lan En rode his horse calmly and never interrupted.
After Geralt finished speaking, Lan asked in a calm tone.
"It seems that you have finished speaking, Geralt. Now I am a little curious. When talking about the existence of gods, you are far from your usual cold and rational expression, and even make people feel a little cynical. God makes you feel bad?"
"Most demon hunters have this problem," Vesemir said behind Lan En's back.
"We have seen too many scenes of monsters harming people and people harming others, so we unconsciously become indifferent and even despise those religions that talk about gods. Because they always seem less useful and make much more money than us."
Lan En nodded to express his acceptance of this statement.
"If this is the case, it can be regarded as an occupational disease. But what I want to say to you is. Geralt, gods exist, and monsters that can destroy the world also exist."
"Just like the Esna we saw last night, she can be regarded as the forest god of Broklon. As long as the big forest still exists, she will exist."
"So "You mean" Geralt still maintained a rejection of Lan En's point of view, "a god who watched his children being slaughtered by several surrounding countries but could do nothing about it"
"If the armies of Verden and Brugg directly enter Broklon, then as many as they enter will die, and Eisna won't care at all. The real threat they pose to Eisna is not the army, but the farmers. "
Lane is correcting Geralt.
“Farmers never enter the big forest directly. They invade Broccolion from the periphery in large numbers, like ants eating biscuits. For wood, they cut down trees. For farming, they set fire. "
"The area of Broklon is getting smaller and smaller due to this encroachment, and Aisna's power is getting weaker and weaker. If I guess correctly, a hundred years ago, we were going here now. The roads are all inside the forest. "There are only so many tree spirits, and they cannot protect the forest in all aspects. In order to prevent the spread of severe infectious diseases in the forest, Aisna also mobilized the magic power of the forest. Providing extraordinary immunity to the dryads, she is too busy now. ”
"But does this mean she is just an ordinary creature, Geralt? Admit it, in your long journey you should have seen things beyond the ordinary, you should have seen those existences."
At this point, Geralt, who was originally cynical, suddenly fell silent.
Xili, who was sitting in front of him, raised her head in surprise and chirped excitedly.
"Have you seen it, Geralt? Have you really seen God? You were silent because Lan En said it right, is that right?"
Geralt curled his lips and said, Lan En turned his head to the side with a smile.
Yes, he really saw some extraordinary beings, and that being even saved his and Dandelion's lives.
Dana Mebi, the goddess of wilderness and flowers. Humans call her Lefia.
That was nearly ten years ago, when he and the famous bard wandered to the easternmost part of the civilized world.
On the edge of the blue mountains that represent the edge of the civilized world, the two of them were attacked and captured by the elves on the mountain. Later, the goddess of the wilderness appeared, and the Elf King let him go after telepathic communication with her. Two people.
“It’s really interesting.”
Lan En looked at Geralt's turned side face and smiled.
"Farmers in the country believe whatever they see, but a demon hunter who has truly seen traces of gods rejects the facts."
Ciri was still there exclaiming. He stopped and said that he was traveling with two people who had actually seen gods, and that he might also be able to see gods in the future.
Vesemir is silent. He is an old-school demon hunter who believes that seeing is believing and never expresses his position.
"Okay, I admit that there are some otherworldly things in this world, but if you want to say that there is a monster that can threaten all life all over the world and can be killed, I still Don’t believe it.”
"Geralt, Geralt"
Lane chewed the name in his mouth repeatedly in an aria-like tone.
“Your stubbornness sometimes makes people feel a little cute. Just imagine this kind of monster.”
“Just looking at it, people will go crazy and mutate into Water ghosts. Ordinary people will go crazy even when they see those water ghosts. Physical attacks such as crossbows and trebuchets are completely immune to witchcraft and magic such as lightning and frost. As long as there is a creature in the world talking about it. There are so many creatures that can talk about it that it won’t even get hurt. How should we deal with this kind of monster?”
When Lan En described it, he was clearly far away from the ocean. inland, but the other three people seemed to smell a smelly sea breeze.
Ciri swallowed nervously, the excitement about the gods had disappeared.
For the little girl, the most terrifying monster she has ever heard of was a manticore or a giant gryphon.
Only Geralt is still stubborn.
"Then, how did you kill that thing?"
Lan glanced at Geralt strangely.
"'Kill'? When did I say that thing was dead?"
The other three shuddered suddenly and looked at Lan En in disbelief.
“It’s just to drive him away, Esna, and many other gods helped to give me the opportunity to drive him away from this world.”
After saying this , the three of them let out a sigh of relief.
“Hu~”*3
