When traveling in the wild, it is best to follow the stream.
John camped by the stream, missing his fully automated luxury tent.
Unfortunately, those magic props cannot be used here.
He snapped his fingers at the collected firewood and started the bonfire.
John could travel all day and all night, but his horse couldn't stand it.
Polo stayed quietly beside a tree and ate.
Being deaf has its advantages and disadvantages.
For example, it is easy to ignore the master's orders.
But this is not a bad thing for John, because he can communicate through psychic magic.
This not only ensures that Polo will not be frightened by foreign objects, but also makes him more obedient.
Leaning against a tree, John made a bed out of vines.
Lying there, looking up at the stars.
"A huge stone monument?"
He is still thinking about the Black Hawk Tower research project.
That group of independent wizards used the monolith as a secret weapon for research, and it was obviously not something simple.
"Dream trial, there are so many interesting things."
Currently in the Dream Trial, what he encountered was completely different from what he encountered while studying at Hogwarts.
Kingdom, witcher, wizard, black tower, vampire, monolith...
Similarly, John can also learn knowledge other than demon hunters.
Such as those runes.
John opened the small bag, revealing several books written in runes.
In Hogwarts education, runes are usually used for translation assessment.
As an ancient language, runes have powerful power in them.
These books contain more detailed runes than those in the Hogwarts library.
It's not that Hogwarts is bad, it's that the older things like runes are, the more advantages they have.
He also found books written by goblins.
These books can bring him great help in runes, and at the same time he can improve his alchemy.
...
It's just dawn.
John put out the bonfire and rode north.
Unlike other witchers, John is too chic.
Who makes him not short of money, while other demon hunters are so poor that they almost take off their pants because of their profession.
There is no shortage of wild animals in the streams.
"Keep going, you will arrive at a small town soon."
John calculated the distance and estimated that he would arrive in four days.
Look at the distances marked on the map and some small local taverns and the like.
John really doubted whether the hotel owner who sold the map had some kind of organization. In this era without communication, he could actually produce detailed maps.
The color of the forest gradually turned to green as John advanced, as if winter was passing.
On this day, John stopped to rest, and he could still feel some coldness in the water.
Cutting down a dead tree, the sound of the fall startled a flock of white birds.
Polo was drinking water from the stream. Due to his deafness, he could not hear any movement.
John made the tree into firewood, which burned and sent up a puff of smoke.
He found some fish from the stream and skewered it. John was not in the habit of eating raw.
As the fish meat is grilled by the flames, a meaty aroma wafts outside.
John ate two fish, and his appetite was better after traveling these days.
Throwing fish bones into the water is a way of giving back to the small fish in the stream.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a vibration coming from the ground in the distance.
Kneeling down, he stared at the beating stones.
Looking up again, a giant bear came running over with smoke and dust breaking down trees.
The giant bear has brown hair, and just the sound of running is enough to make people feel scared.
As the giant bear approaches, the body puts more pressure on people more intuitively.
It was visually estimated that it was three meters up, and a thick bear paw broke an obstructing tree with one slap.
John decisively mounted his horse and drove Polo quickly along the stream.
The horses' hooves trampled one hoof print after another on the soil, and the giant bear behind them chased after them.
John ran towards the forest, taking advantage of his horse to speed up the forest path.
But the giant bear directly smashed through the trees, overtook the car in the opposite direction, and arrived in front of John along the rugged road.
A giant bear appeared ahead, and John's speed increased instead of decreasing.
Any other horse might have been too frightened by the giant bear to move.
But Polo couldn't hear the movement and accelerated towards the giant bear.
The giant bear raised its paw to slap these two little guys to death.
John pulled out the sword on his back, and the sword with three flashing runes shone brightly in the sunlight.
Polo came some distance in front of the giant bear, and John let go of the reins and held his sword in both hands.
Rely on the strength of the waist and abdomen to charge up and swing a sword.
The silver light shuttled faster than a horse, and before the giant bear's slap fell, it opened a neat wound on the rough bear skin.
Blood splashed, and the giant bear roared in response.
"Roar--!"
John's sword did not kill it. The giant bear's defense was amazing.
The giant bear smashed a stone as tall as a man into pieces, and the gravel shot toward John.
John drew out his wand and cast the Iron Armor spell to block the flying stone attack.
Then he jumped up on the horse and flew towards the giant bear.
Holding the sword upside down with one hand, John aimed at the giant bear's eyes.
The giant bear sensed the danger and stood up to crush John with both hands.
John raised his wand and aimed it at the giant bear's legs, chanting the spell: "Weak Legs Curse"
The giant bear's standing posture collapsed instantly, and his feet were weak and he fell down. He barely used his paws to support his body and did not fall down.
As soon as the giant bear raised its head, the shimmering silver blade magnified in front of its eyes, and finally pierced its eyes and penetrated the bear's brain.
The twitching and struggling caused by severe pain caused John to be thrown away.
He spun in the air and landed on the ground, with the silver sword stuck in the giant bear's eyes, struggling to death.
After half a minute, the giant bear finally fell.
The surrounding area was in a mess because of the giant bear, and more than a dozen trees were broken.
"This giant bear is really full of vitality." John stepped forward and pulled out the silver sword with all his strength.
The entire sword did not penetrate into the giant bear's head. When he pulled it out, John found that the fourth rune on it lit up.
"Another trial BOSS?" He was surprised.
It feels like all my trials are going on unintentionally.
After looking at the giant bear, he thought he might be able to exchange it for some money.
With the next town less than a day away, John took his time skinning the bear.
...
Castle, by the spring.
"The giant bear in the forest, he finally accepted a normal test." Alexei said with emotion.
There are many people among Jovonovich who have experienced this trial, and Seryosha is one of them.
They like to adopt roundabout tactics when facing giant bears.
Except for that reckless man like Boris, there were still only a few people who rode directly towards John.
"Smart judgment, knowing that the giant bear's weakness is its hind legs." Seryosha praised.
“I just don’t know how far Yadani can go,” Andre said.
John has actually met the completion requirements for this dream trial.
After three trials, it will be over.
But if we don't end it proactively, this trial will continue.
Jovonovich is very excited about how far John can go, and is even more curious about which bloodline style John will awaken.
In their anticipation, John arrived in the town.
...
This town is called Balvi.
After John entered the town, he first went to find a place to stay.
After staying out for a few days, John also needed to replenish his supplies.
Putting Polo in the stable, he walked into the tavern.
The tavern has always been the best place to get information, even in Hogsmeade.
"Tuna Tavern?"
Looking at this tavern, which was obviously more prosperous than other buildings, John couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of the wizards.
He still doesn't understand why the owner of the Pig's Head Tavern doesn't clean up.
Pushing the door open, the creaking sound was summed up by the commotion inside.
John was wearing a black robe that Kang Sang bought before he left.
The way he dressed was a bit unusual in the pub, and some people's eyes moved to John.
First the black robe, and then the silver sword with part exposed.
A woman noticed this. Her hand holding the wine glass paused before moving to the face.
John noticed someone looking at him, but he didn't care.
The life of a swordsman these days has allowed him to develop some wildness. When he walked into the tavern, he came to the owner of the hotel.
"Hot food, not cold."
John was still holding the bear skin peeled from the giant bear. He asked: "Do you know where I can sell this?"
When the boss saw the bear skin, he was surprised and said, "Oh my god, did you kill that forest devil?"
"It happened by chance." John shrugged and put the giant bear skin on the table, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"You don't have to sell it. If you are short of money, you can exchange it for the bounty."
A voice as intoxicating as drunken red wine sounded. John looked over and saw the woman holding the wine glass smiling at him.
"If you don't know the way, I can lead you." The woman raised her glass and said, "Fu Rui, you should be the legendary person."
"Black Witcher, Yadani."
...
Some people died, but not completely...
