The handsoer

Ever since he becaht of the Dulan Province, he had been the leader of the witcher knights here

Eli the darkness, protector of the weak, fearless!

This 28-year-old youthful knight followed the precepts passed down by the holy knights strictly He avoided all luxurious entertainy into "the purging of evil"

"Your honor, Grand Duke Lington, I heard you have a subordinate known as Sage Goth? I wish to see him immediately! "Ninther stood tall before the Grand Duke and said his target, ignoring the threatening looks of the bodyguards behind the Duke

Although the words were those of a request, co like a request!

The Grand Duke's face turned green in an instant He waved the exquisite ruby-adorned scepter about in anger as he shouted furiously: "Goth is the guiding e! He is not the caster you lot are looking for! You have no right to search a Grand Duke's property……"

Unfortunately, the Grand Duke's protests were conored by Ninther He stared coldly at the Duke's eyes, spitting out one word at a time: "I am not here to search for evidence, and I have no intention to bother this Sage Goth Perhaps……"Ninther paused for a moment as he said this:"Perhaps we e Goth for certain ton couldn't help but be surprised as he saw the hesitating look on Knight Ninther's face Before he could reject Ninther again, a crisp and sweet fe out from a corner of the hall

"Follow me if you wish to see Teacher Goth "

When he heard this familiar voice, the Grand Duke couldn't help but exclaiirl of about sixteen years of age and wearing a light yellow dress walked in from a small door in the corner of the hall It was the Grand Duke's daughter Elena

"Father, don't stop Knight Ninther! This is also the will of my teacher "

The Grand Duke frowned and spoke: "Since it's Goth's will as well, then bring Ninther to see hihts will have to stay here "

Ninther nodded and turned to leave so Elena into the inside of the Duke's hoe Goth lived was a tall tower The only path to the toas a narrow spiraling stone staircase Ninther had a huge build, and the armor on his body was exceptionally heavy, which caused occasional clattering as he walked up the steps and his arainst the walls

Ninther couldn't help but sneer as he watched the Duke's daughter in front of hie" ell deserved!

But he was here to visit this "Sage" Goth, with orders from above to seek help He had to tolerate this fellow and wait for another tih this fellow had already revealed a trace of his true identity as a "spawn of evil"

On the way, Ninther finally couldn't suppress the urge to ask: "Lady Elena, what do you learn froe, Script, and History! "Elena replied without even turning her head Her tone was cold and distant like she didn't want to speak y as well, doesn't he? " Ninther couldn't help but add

Elena's petite body shook Still not turning her head she spoke: "Not all knowledge is evil! Even the king recognises the use of astrology What is it, Knight Ninther? Do you intend to kill everyone who has learned astrology? "

Ninther didn't reply

The stone tower had five levels Sage Goth aiting for the red robe with ahis shoulders were snohite, and his face was covered rinkles His eyes were brown but the light had faded frolint at the bottoave him an air of refineh there were books and parchst the e bookshelf that reached all the way to the roof in the corner of the room

Books weren't all that valuable in the Continent of Witchers, but they were still so at the size of it, Ninther suspected that even the public library of Herdurand paled in size and value to the collection here!

"You must be Goth! I am Ninther I am here under the orders of " Ninther stepped forward and loudly introduced hi his chest once as he did so Sadly, he was interrupted by the old man

"Of course it was Wells that sent you! Otherwise, you would not have been able to see me! "An odd smile appeared on the elderly's face:"He htmares of the past month were real "

Ninther's face couldn't help but twitch

The eon frohts had arrived in his hands for less than an hour and this hermit already found out?

Ninther coldly asked:"This must be the special ability you awakened, isn't it? Is it precognition or divination? Or is it soul enslavement? "

His tone was full of disdain It wasn't the first believer of evil of this sort that he had judged hinition, it allowed the believers of evil to sense looht's pursuit accordingly The greatest weakness of this ability was its lis that had to do with oneself It could not be used to help others

Divination was slightly better The user could tell the future fate of certain events through the use of ceremonial equipment such as animal bones, cards or crystal balls Unfortunately, the results of divination were often vague and unclear, unlike the clear future inition

As for the last type, soul enslave evil spell Casters that awakened to this ability could enslave the souls of the dead and bend theather information, uncover private secrets, or even drain the life of the living Whichever it was, they were all evil acts that Ninther hated with a passion
