Chapter 240 Skellige’s main plot is not over yet

Many old men with old-fashioned ideas believe that the Night Stalker is a monster from hell, the cause of the degeneration of young people, and the source of national unrest.

The "old men" mentioned here not only include farmers and herdsmen with little education, but even druids who are like old scholars.

This statement, which is full of ignorance, is certainly not correct. Most people are just ashamed to face the truth of depravity. Losers need to find an excuse for their incompetence. It just so happens that the image of the Night Stalker is a little too inaccurate.

As a result, he became a good target for verbal and written criticism.

In fact, most female night demons will not rashly choose the path of killing and destruction unless it is for self-defense. After all, it is contrary to their way of survival and is a waste of money.

However, even if the non-human races in the game are very pitiful, the night demons are often persecuted. But just like the ogres in the silly trolls, there are female night demons with a contrasting sense of kindness.

A female Bodhisattva-like existence sometimes appears as a real soul-absorbing and marrow-sucking demon.

It is these real demons that give the conservative older generation an excuse to teach young people to stay away from the Night Stalker.

But now Lann can at least be sure that the female night demon in front of him is not from the evil camp, but at most chaotic neutral.

So he began to seriously weigh the pros and cons of the other party joining Sintra.

Emotional and hormonal factors aside, would there be any benefit to having Night Stalker join Cintra?

It seems there is.

The racial characteristics of the Night Stalker will not always bring unrest. Toussaint and Novigrad are good examples: in this era, any prosperous city needs a place like the "Rose Garden" to exist. This is

A place that can drive the city's economy, increase people's happiness index, and at the same time enhance the stability of public security to a certain extent - mercenaries who have completed their tasks, soldiers who have been paid, and businessmen who have passed by always need a place to spend their money.

Relax your tense nerves, as fights in taverns are too easy.

Lann had previously specifically asked Kyaane from the Cat Faction to find the Night Stalker in Novigrad and other non-human races including her.

In addition, the female night demons themselves are also very powerful creatures - after all, they are creatures that have existed in the world since the confluence of the heaven and earth. Their bodies are comparable to steel, and they also possess impressive spellcasting abilities.

It just so happens that the female night demon has power, but there is also an upper limit to her ability: although the thousand-year-old female night demon is knowledgeable, she is still at a level that can be hunted by experienced demon hunters, and is also an immortal species.

High-level vampires are much weaker than them.

Just like just now, this female night devil was crushed in Alice's hands.

In other words, this is an existence that can drive the city economy and has considerable power, but it is not out of control.

Lann was quite happy to tame the female night demon named "Nanomi".

If it doesn't work, just treat it as a benefit for Eskar, who "likes women with horns." The wolf faction's win over is also very necessary, which is related to the internal harmony of the Demon Hunter Order in the future.

But suddenly encountering a monster who wants to surrender in the wilderness, I still feel uneasy no matter how I look at it.

Lan still needs to continue to understand the other party in depth.

…

"Come on." The Night Demon didn't take it seriously to Lan's question. "Those elderly human men always advise young people to stay away from me, but they always come here secretly. There used to be a village chief in the village near where I lived.

He refused to listen to me no matter how I tried to persuade him, and I couldn't drive him away no matter how I tried to use magic. He also threatened that if I refused him again, he would unite with nearby villages to attack me."

The Night Demon shrugged: "I have no choice. It's not that I'm really afraid of him. But since he wants to play so much, I have to let him see it - but he exhausted himself to death."

"I felt lost for a long time because of this, and I made a grave for him. But in the end, many people nearby used this as an excuse to attack me...annoying! I don't want to stay in Skellig anymore!"

"For you, Cintra will not be better than Skellige." Lan still did not put down the rune sword, pointing the sword directly at the opponent, "I can't think of a reason for you to come to Cintra."

Facing Lan's defensive posture, the Night Stalker was unafraid. Even though Alice was watching eagerly not far away, the Night Stalker even forgot about the pain before her scar healed.

She walked towards Lann step by step under the candlelight, lightly tapped the tip of the sword with her fingertips, and said:

"Isn't it obvious? Because Sintra has you~"

"Huh?" Lan En's sword tip moved slightly because of the sudden confession.

Emerald flames ignited behind Lann, and Alice's plain black skirt appeared in the darkness. Her face was covered with black gauze, and her expression could not be seen, but she seemed to have a sharp gaze looking at the female night demon from a distance across Lann.

Looking at each other.

She raised the black magic scimitar in her hand high, brought the sword down, pressed it against Lan's back and sheathed it again. The blade rubbed against the steel, making a crisp sound:

"Zheng-Qiang!"

The female night devil's expression changed.

She quickly laughed: "Because Lei Anlun, you are the blood of the ancients."

"I came here when the heavens and the earth met. It was not an accident, but a planned escape. My world was destroyed by hoarfrost, and I had no choice but to come to a place I was unfamiliar with."

The female night devil's voice became heavy, with a slightly sad hoarse tone, which made people want to rub their throats with their fingertips.

"Not long ago, this continent once again experienced a prelude to the convergence of the heavens and the earth, and another crisis is about to come."

"Maybe it won't be so soon, it may be decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years later, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing the way out for the future earlier."

As she spoke, the Night Demon began to act subconsciously again. She gently placed her palm on the spine of the rune sword, caressing the runes on it inch by inch, and approached Lann step by step.

"And Lei Anlun, your 'Ancient Blood' is the key to saving the world - and even if you fail to save the world in the end, it will be easy to leave this world with this power, so I will follow you, just to be able to save the world in the future.

To protect ourselves in the face of world-ending crisis. Is this a suitable reason? Young bloodline heir~"

The ancient blood has the mission of saving the world in this world. It is reasonable to follow such a person for self-protection.

But Lann was no longer distracted by the Night Demon's actions. His attention was focused on another piece of news at this moment:

"You said... now the prelude to the meeting of the heaven and earth has begun again?!"

…

The history of the mainland cannot escape the term "Celestial Sphere Convergence". This is an astronomical phenomenon that can be called a catastrophic level. It is a collision between worlds in different dimensions. In the Celestial Sphere Convergence, different worlds are directly connected.

and penetrate each other.

The most recent convergence of the heaven and earth was about 1,500 years ago. That convergence not only brought about several mainstream civilized races today, but also brought a large number of monsters. It can be said that it completely changed the structure of the continent.

Among the study materials Mossack gave Lan was a textbook called "The Convergence of the Celestial Spheres", which used vivid metaphors to explain this rare astronomical phenomenon——

[Please imagine our world as a ship, sailing on the vast sea. Standing on the deck, we can see other distant ships-that is, other stars. Each of these ships carries cargo and

The crew members are usually very far away from us when they pass us, and they can't even be seen with a telescope.

[However, every few thousand years, a big storm will occur on this cosmic sea, so violent that it will blow the ships towards each other, sailing close to each other. At this time, part of the crew on one ship can move to another ship, and the cargo

It may also spill onto the ship next door. After the weather eases, the ships will separate again, go their separate ways, and never see each other again.】

[The so-called "rendezvous creatures", that is, monsters such as ghouls and basilisks, are passengers from other ships. We humans are shipwreck victims, thrown into a world originally inhabited by an ancient race. We humans

After arriving, I learned mysterious ancient magic that I had never seen before.】

[Will different worlds collide again? Is it possible? Are there ways to avoid this disaster, or speed it up? Some scholars believe that certain creatures are proficient in this skill and have rare genes in their bodies that can control our ship.

direction, leading us to safe seas, or to the end.】

Although there is a hint at the end of the original game that a new round of celestial convergence is about to begin, but that is still many years later, and it shouldn’t be now, right?

After being surprised, Lan quickly calmed down.

Some memory fragments of past experiences began to piece together in his mind.

If the information that "the convergence of the celestial sphere is about to begin" is true, then some of the things that have happened in the past have become traceable: the number of monsters suddenly increased while attending the Northern Conference, the monsters that had been hiding in the forest suddenly awakened, and even

The ice giants in Skellige suddenly became restless...

Is all this a prelude to the catastrophe?

But why does the conjunction of the celestial sphere occur so many years in advance?

Lann is not a slow person. After getting clues, it will be easy to unravel everything.

The timing of the appearance of each kind of vision is coincidentally coincident. If you think about the strange natural disaster phenomenon of the collision of different worlds, such as the convergence of the celestial sphere...

…

Lann covered his forehead. In the end, all this seemed to be the cause of his full awakening of ancient blood?

Thinking back to the scene when he first activated [Travel], various different worlds reached out to him hungrily, and it even took the help of the Mirror Master to pull them away, Lan En's judgment became more certain.

As for that, I am just a small piece of ancient blood, and now I can’t even form an army with one person. Saving the world hasn’t even begun yet, so how can I indirectly trigger a prelude to a natural disaster...

Or is this all part of your plan? Even after leaving this world, you still ordered the last act for yourself in the first-class audience - Mirror Master?

…

Lan En's thoughts went back and forth here.

After seeing Lan's reaction, the Night Demon smiled.

"Don't you know that the celestial sphere meets? That's great."

When she said this, the Night Demon looked at Alice with fear. Even though she was a thousand years old, this was the first time she saw such a magical existence as the soul in the painting.

"I have brought you such crucial information. In the words of you humans, it is...'a certificate of surrender'?"

"Can I join Cintra?"

"And I'm not just seeking asylum. I also know many friends of the same race, and even a few high-level vampires. The ancient blood will definitely form its own force, right? If you need it in the future, I can help

You contact them!”
