Xie Yuan came to the tavern early in the morning to join Geralt, but he was told that he could not go to slay the demon until close to noon, so he had to brew the potion at this time.
"Noon?" Xie Yuan, who was helping Geralt, was a little surprised by the attributes of this spiritual monster. "What kind of spiritual monster will appear at noon when the Yang Qi is at its highest?"
Aren't ordinary spirit monsters supposed to like yin and hate yang, and like to go out at night?
"This will do." Geralt explained to Xie Yuan while boiling a special oil, "This is a spiritual monster called a day demon."
"A demonic spirit that can appear in broad daylight...can you tell me about this kind of creature?"
"The day demons have a general principle of formation: most of them are transformed from young women who died of violence before marriage, wandering in the farmland with anger and pain." Geralt briefly described this kind of monster, "
So they look like they're wearing white robes and they look like they've been severely sunburned."
"Going mad with pain or anger, they wander the farmland looking for their unfaithful lovers or secretly assassinated love rivals, but anyone who doesn't escape in time will be killed by them - they can create multiple copies of themselves that are exactly the same as themselves.
image, and let the image surround the victim, as if dancing. Such a demon spirit ritual will absorb the victim's vitality and make the demon spirit itself stronger."
"Well... Passion has been full of hatred since ancient times, but poor people must be hateful. The only thing outsiders can do is not to let the tragedy continue." Xie Yuan could not help but feel a little sad, but he quickly returned to normal, "
Is it difficult for a witcher to deal with this kind of spirit monster?"
"Well...spirit monsters are indeed rare and difficult characters to deal with - because they don't bleed, and most of the witcher's seals have no effect on them." After Geralt made a pot of oil, he immediately replaced the second one.
Two pots, and continued to place the medicinal materials and give a brief lecture, "More importantly, the day demon spirit can also control the material world to a limited extent, such as raising dust, temporarily blinding and confusing opponents. The day demon spirit can also become invisible.
, they will be difficult to harm at this time.”
"That's really a bit tricky," Xie Yuan's face turned serious now.
In the ending of the story, the young master's life and death are unknown, and the hunter has been isolated outside Ginkgo Village and lives alone.
And Xie Yuan also stood behind obediently, firstly to open up the field for Geralt to perform, and secondly, to clear the formation for him. If Geralt couldn't handle it, he would immediately fish him out.
"In order to force the day spirit to become corporeal, you must first trap it with the Seal of Arden, or attack it with a moon dust bomb. Once the monster returns to its true form, you can use a silver sword (preferably coated with evil spirit oil)
) to attack quickly." Geralt pointed to the pot of cooling blue oil, "You probably don't know magic, so you can only use evil spirit oil and moon dust bombs to fight the enemy. The evil spirits here are
After the spiritual oil is ready, I will give you half of it—I will write you the recipe later."
On the way, Geralt told Xie Yuan the real reason for the formation of this day demon.
Geralt felt a little sad about this, but more of it was a kind of indifference to the pain.
Now, the bracelet is in Geralt's hands - he personally jumped into the bottom of the well yesterday to retrieve this valuable bracelet that fell into the water due to its weight.
"Back off!" Geralt, who had been kneeling just now, immediately stood up, pulled out the silver sword that had been coated with evil spirit oil from his back, and looked at the day demon in front of him in a prepared manner.
"No need to make such a fuss... From the past until now, demon hunters have not been a respected profession in society. Not to mention, we have been attacked by several groups of destructive movements, and a lot of information is incomplete."
And this is just the beginning of the demon elimination phase, "Ouch!!!"
"Oh, that's great." Xie Yuan expressed his thanks for this, and then looked at the medicinal oil that Geralt was boiling, "I guess this is the special medicinal oil for dealing with griffons, right?"
Unfortunately, this matter is very complicated: a few years ago, the young master of a manor had an affair with a hunter in the garden. As a result, he was reported by the young woman in this ghost village, and the hunter was forced to drive out of the village.
"Sorry." Xie Yuan apologized straightforwardly.
"Yes, this is a mixed animal oil specially used to deal with hybrid beasts like griffons. I got the formula from the herbalist. I never expected that she still had this kind of oil left by the demon hunter more than ten years ago.
Something - but luckily it came in handy today."
Only this woman who was hanged in the well was finally transformed into a day demon because of her great resentment and a bracelet that fixed her soul here.
This kind of spirit monster with many tricks must be guarded against, so Xie Yuan looked at Geralt and humbly learned from it: "As a senior demon hunter, how do you usually deal with this kind of monster?"
When I came to this abandoned village... I have to say that although it is extremely dilapidated, it is generally well preserved. If it weren't for ghosts, I'm afraid it could be used again.
"Okay." Xie Yuan agreed.
"It's okay, this is a thing of the past," Geralt continued to lick some firewood, "Let's focus on the monster hunting now."
The only remaining task is to destroy the remains and the bracelet, which will trigger the arrival of the day demons and trigger a battle.
Geralt felt happy.
A woman's hysterical howl suddenly sounded from near the well. Then a ghost wearing a white old wedding dress suddenly appeared from the void!
Her whole body was so rotten that even her lower jaw had disappeared. Her long and slippery tongue was hanging out and dancing around, making her look extremely disgusting. She waved her hands and claws at Xie Yuan and Geralt, seeming to invite them.
It's like participating in a dance.
But the resentful young master led his men to seek revenge on the woman directly. Not only did he beat the woman's husband to death, but he also hanged the woman from the well railing in her home.
…
Not surprisingly, there are some spiral patterns left on the ground after being exposed to high temperatures. This is a route that demon spirits often like to patrol during the day. Some pigs and cows nearby also died from such high temperature injuries - today's
It must be settled once and for all.
What happened next was that the two of them rode horses separately and went to the ghostly village together.
Geralt muttered "Igni" silently, then pointed his hand towards the fire - with a "pop" sound, a small flame ignited on the fire, and then with the help of kindling, the whole withered bones suddenly burned.
A burst of green phosphorus fire burned out.
Geralt pulled up the dead bones from the well, and Xie Yuan built a small fire aside. The two of them worked together to throw the dead bones, bracelets and other objects related to women into the fire.
"You actually lost the sword oil formula for fighting monsters?" Xie Yuan felt surprised.
Of course, this is also an evaluation to see what combat capability this spiritual monster has.
Xie Yuan subconsciously felt that although this day demon looked tricky, it didn't seem difficult to deal with.
But this is just an intuition. The real situation depends on the battle situation between Geralt and the demon spirits.
He had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and at the same time, he was looking forward to taking action in the middle.
At this time, Geralt was fighting against the day demon——
