Chapter 554: Magic Burst Away: Unwilling
Rogert: "I don't mean to pry into someone's privacy, but I know your mother has had a miscarriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Tamara: "He's the one who did it!" He shoved her, and she fell. And so it happened, we were alone, no one came to help, there was blood everywhere. It was the scariest night of my life. ”
Rogette: "I'm sorry, it's going to be hard for both of you. ”
Tamara: "Mother was terrified. Babbling that it was better to say that she didn't want this child in the first place. She must have had a fever and she was bleeding all the time. ”
Rogert: "She doesn't want that child?" ”
Tamara: "She said she'd rather have her belly slit open than conceive his child..."
Rogette: "What are your plans?" ”
Tamara: "Find my mother." ”
Rogette: "It's probably not that easy..."
Tamara: "Rest assured, I'm not stupid enough to think I can go to her alone. I have new friends, great friends, and they will help me. ”
Rogert: "And what about your father?" ”
Tamara: "Who?" Oh, he. I don't care. I'm not going back to him, I've forgotten that part of my life. ”
Rogette: "Who's your new friend?" It's okay if it's inconvenient to disclose. ”
Tamara: "It won't be inconvenient. Have you ever heard of the Church of Eternal Fire? A priest helped me connect with the Redanian Witch Hunter. They are all righteous warriors. They will help me. ”
Rogert: "You believe in the Eternal Flame?" That's why those candlesticks appear in your room? ”
Tamara: "Once the Eternal Flame ignites your heart, it will give you the strength to be guided by it throughout your life on the path of truth." I hope that one day it will bless you with its warmth. ”
Rogette: "Thank you. However, fire is very fickle and can easily get burned. ”
Tang Tu suddenly interjected: "For example, Mrs. Anna... Wasn't she just burned by fire? ”
At this time, a man walked in: "Look who's coming... He's a demon hunter... I really didn't expect the Baron to fall into the trap of hiring monster killers. But I've heard you're a great tracker..."
Rogert: "Anxious fathers always try to find their daughters. ”
Man: "I didn't expect a demon hunter to say something like that." I thought you would lose the last shred of humanity and emotion when you mutate. ”
Rogette: "Humans can lose their humanity even if they don't need mutations. I've seen too many examples of this. Also, I'm glad you know who I am, but you haven't introduced yourself yet. ”
Rogette: "I am Gladen, a witch hunter, in the service of His Majesty Radovid, King of Redania. You must have heard of us..."
"Sorry, I haven't heard...," several players muttered quietly. Everybody doesn't really like this new guy.
Rogert: "It sounds familiar. ”
Gladden: "If the Bloody Baron is sending you to find his daughter, then you better face it, your mission is doomed." ”
Rogette: "Thank you for worrying about me, but I don't need to. Tamara should decide for herself. ”
Gladden: "Hmph, you're so noble. A hired killer would give up a bounty for the sake of someone else. Witch hunters and the Church of the Eternal Flame, thank you. Tamara needed a break, and she went through a lot of hardships. When the Eternal Fire warms her, and when she recovers, we will try to find her mother. ”
Tang Tu: "Ah... A witch hunter with a mouth more powerful than Rogette appears. ”
Rogette said to Tamara, "I hope you know exactly what you're going to be involved in..."
Tamara: "I couldn't know better. The Eternal Flame is the best thing I've ever experienced in my life. ”
Tang Tu: "Little girl, don't say this kind of thing in this life at a young age, because maybe you will encounter worse things." ”
Rogert: "Forget it, since you've decided, good luck then." ”
Tamara: "Thank you for respecting my decision, goodbye." ”
Tamara followed Gladden away. Rogette shook his head helplessly and left with the players. The scene switches, and everyone returns to the village. Everyone was going to look for the baron, but they ran into the witch doctor on the way.
Witch Doctor: "I must ask the Demon Hunter to do a favor that only a Demon Hunter can do..."
Rogert: "What do you need?" ”
Witch Doctor: "I need a warrior who is not afraid of evil... The ancestral spirit sacrifice on the eve is approaching, and we have the ritual to perform. Wandering, cursed souls will manifest, and we must protect the Tex from evil spirits. ”
Rogert: "Why are you doing this ceremony?" ”
Witch Doctor: "People sometimes die with regrets, and sometimes they die before they can taste all their sorrows." These sad souls, their long-cherished wishes have not been fulfilled, and tears are pouring out. These spirits wander in the world, and they should be judged and then set out on their way. This is what we do on the eve of the ancestral spirits. ”
Rogert: "I see. Well, I helped. ”
Witch Doctor: "I foresee that you won't refuse. It's time to gather the people. We had to cross the lake to the island of Fick. We will meet in the stone henge. ”
Rogette: "The sooner we fix this, the better." It's tonight, at midnight. ”
Rogette came to the gate of the camp and found a guard: "Remember me?" Boy of the horse, I saved you from the fire. ”
Guard: "I'll never forget it." Thank you for your great saving grace. ”
A knight in armor came over and found Rogette: "Demon hunter, please wait a minute, I have something to look for you." We haven't met yet, my name is Sergeant, and that's the nickname I used to have in the army. At that time I was with Philips... It's the baron... Together in the Temoa army. I would like to ask you one thing. ”
Rogette: "What's the matter?" ”
Sergeant: "What did you do with the Baron that night when the Baron ordered everyone to lock the door and stay in the house?" ”
Rogette: "You'll have to ask the Baron yourself." Speaking of barons, do you know where he is? ”
Sergeant: "Let's go to the garden, he's been sitting there lately lately." ”
Rogette: "Drunk? ”
Sergeant: "No. I didn't drink or eat, I just sit. ”
They went to the garden, and sure enough, they found the baron.
The baron sat there alone, looked at the side and said, "Do you see those hollyhocks?" Purple flowers, I brought them back from Nazel. After reading the story, Anna clamored for the flowers. She spent hours tending to the flowers, trimming and shears. She's satisfied. Over there, the ones with wrinkled petals are called 'Birds of Paradise' in Sereknia, but Tamara calls them 'Heavenly Dragons'. She loves this flower. It's a pity I'll never know which flower Tia likes the most... But as long as her soul is free, it is enough. ”
Rogert: "Losing a family member must be painful for you. But we've done our best. ”
Baron: "No, don't say that now, don't say it again. It's too late, I know... I should have done something about it, I should have taken them away from the bird land of Wei Lun. Staying in this hellish place, it's not a good thing. ”
Rogette: "I have news of your family. ”
The baron finally looked at Rogette, stood up and said, "What news have you heard?" ”
Rogert: "Go inside, it's a little chilly outside." ”
Everyone went back to the house. Rogette said, "Your daughter is in Osent. ”
Baron: "What?! Is she okay? Are you in good health? Is it safe? Why didn't you bring her back? ”
Rogert: "First of all, I have to state that I didn't promise to bring them back, I just wanted to find them. I met her and talked to her. She wants me to tell you that she's not in danger... She also asked me that she wasn't coming back. ”
Baron: "She's not coming back?" But I got everything ready, the room was cleaned up, and I helped her get new slippers from Touscent... How could she not go home? ”
Rogette: "It's better for you to accept the facts sooner. You've never been a good father..."
Baron: "I wasn't a good father in the past, but I can change... As long as she comes back... As long as both of them come back... Maybe there's room for things to turn around, do you say she's in Aucente? Maybe she's still here, maybe she'll be willing to meet me..."
Rogert: "Of course you can give it a try, but I advise you not to expect too much. ”
Baron: "I'll have to try." Without Anna and Tamara, life would be meaningless, no matter how bad it is. By the way, what about my Anna? Did you hear any news? ”
Rogette: "No news yet, but I'm following her trail." ”
Baron: So what are you waiting for? ”
Rogette: "By the time you tell me the information about Xili, we'll already talk about it." ”
Baron: "Well, I did promise you. When Siri was almost recovered, we took her out hunting. I'd say she's been in bed for so long, going out and riding a horse allows her to move her hands and feet. Your little girl was lucky enough to hit such a big boar. If the king of Fortai were still alive, the pig would be fit for his banquet table. We roasted the wild boar and I gave her the whole hind leg ... We invited her to be our partner, and she won a bet with the horse boy, and she won my horse...
However, a griffon beast suddenly appears, and she yells like a mad woman. In an instant, everyone forgot about the bet. Everyone fled in the wilderness, and in order to save their lives, they could give up anything. However, some survived... Others weren't so lucky... What happened next... Demon hunter, I've seen a lot of things, but I've never seen this before..."
The baron stopped. Rogert: "Hey, your expression..."
Baron: "You're smart. Find my wife, and I'll tell you the rest of the story. ”
Rogette: "I'm still trying. ”
Baron: "It's too slow. ”
Rogette: "The two of them scattered, to my surprise. Don't worry, I'll find Anna too. Have you heard that Wei Lun has a witch? ”
Baron: "I won't pay attention to the nonsense of the commoners. No matter what ordinary people see, they think that it is a witch, a wizard, a demon, all of them are nonsense. ”
Rogette leads the group out of the baron's camp and heads out into the Humpback Swamp in search of the old witch. The dried corpse of a woman was found in the swamp, and it was no longer clear who she was. I hope she's not Mrs. Anna.
They came to a tall tower that seemed to be the old witch's quarters. A small child ran out of the tower.
"The dog went into the kitchen and stole a large piece of meat. The cook tied its legs and gave it a good beating. Then the cook drained the blood, skinned it clean, and laughed and said, 'It's delicious, it's the best sausage!' 'The cook is a stupid murderer and shouldn't have eaten the puppy. Now we're going to make a fire and cook it! 1, 2, 3, the one who went to get the tinder was... You! ”
Everyone turned around the hut in front of them and saw that there were many children there.
The child looked at Rogette in horror: "I don't know you, you go away!" ”
Rogert: "I'm looking for the witch of the Hunchback Swamp. ”
Child A: "You look like a witch yourself." This is true.
Child B: "The swamp girl... Witch? ”
Child A: "We can't run to the swamp, grandma said no." ”
Child B: "When my brother Jimmy disappeared, my grandmother said it was because he ran into the forest and got lost. After that, I often saw my grandmother crying. ”
Child A: "It's still possible for your brother to come back." ”
Rogette: "Why are you kids here alone?" ”
Child A: "We don't, we're with grandma." ”
Rogette: "So where did you get here?" ”
Child B: "We are orphans. ”
Rogette: "All of them? ”
Child C: "Don't you know that there will be orphans when there is war?" ”
Rogette: "Okay. There was a young lady who got lost in the swamp. She has grayish hair and a scar on her face. Have you ever seen anyone like that? ”
Child B: "There aren't any young girls here. ”
Child A: "Then what am I?" "Little girl...
Child C: "You're not a girl, you're too young." ”
Rogette: "Is there anyone else here besides you?" ”
Child A: "Others... Does that six-eyed tree count? The tree has been sleeping for a whole year. But there's Johnny. ”
At this time, an old woman came over: "What are you arguing about?" What are you talking about? The old woman looked at Rogette: "Outsiders are not allowed to come in casually!" Only my children can come. Who are you? And carry a sword like a robber! ”
Rogette: "Who's Johnny?" ”
Kid: "Johnny Johnny steals cats and poops and pulls cat hair in the morning!" "It turned out to be a cat.
Old woman: "Don't talk nonsense. These kids only talk nonsense, except that they still talk nonsense. ”
Rogette: "You're taking care of these kids?" ”
Old woman: "They are my grandsons." ”
Child B: "Grandma is very good to us, there will be fried pork skin soup for dinner later." ”
The old woman suddenly said, "Some of the children have been lost in the woods, and I miss them so much... No one ever saw them again. ”
Rogert: "I just talked to them and asked them if they had seen a young lady. ”
Old woman: "I used to be young and beautiful, and Mommy helped me tie a long, beautiful braid, and I had several dresses embroidered with small flowers. "How strange that feels.
Rogette: "Maybe you've seen her, she's young and has gray hair. ”
