“... From now on, you will wander through the fog, chasing an apparition. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Every time you see her, it's just a mirage. If you do find her, the girl's death is near. Bye... Hee-hee-hee, looking forward to seeing you again! ”

In a stench, the three old witches disappeared.

Shaking his head, Rogette leads the players out of the swamp and returns to the Baron's castle to find the Baron.

Rogert: "There's news of your wife..."

Baron: Really? Why didn't you bring her back? ”

Rogette: "She's in a humpback swamp, with something to eat, a place to live, and something to do. It looked like she didn't want to leave at all. ”

Baron: "I want you to bring her back, not to tell me how she's doing!" ”

Rogert: "We agreed to find them, not bring them back!" I've found it now. ”

Baron: "You still think I'm guilty to the core, don't you?" Do you think everything is my fault? ”

Rogette: "What I think doesn't matter. ”

Baron: "When I look at you, I can feel your contempt... Maybe in your world of demon hunters, everything is black and white, but our world is not like that. ”

Rogert: "You're probably not the only one who is wrong. Alright, tell me the story from your point of view. ”

Baron: "Anna and I... It can be said that it was love at first sight. I was wounded in the Battle of Anko, my shoulder was pierced by a spear, and she helped me to heal my wounds. As soon as I recovered from my injuries, I proposed to her. She was so happy that tears flowed down her eyes. Soon after, Tamara was born, and I was later sent to Sidaris, as King Ethan had encountered an army rebellion and Foltai sent troops to support him. War after war, year after year... I lived the life of a soldier, rarely at home, so I had to borrow wine to drown my sorrows... I can't quit drinking this one, and I still want to drink it when I get home.

I followed the army to earn money to support my family, and often for months on end, Anna was at home alone to take care of the children. Later, I found out that she was not alone at all, and for almost three years she had been hugging a guy named Aven, who was a playmate when she was a child and was raised on dog food. Do you understand? I could have pretended I didn't know anything if it was just once or twice, but this woman has been with other men for years! I love her, she doesn't care at all! ”

Rogert: "How did you find out?" ”

Baron: "One day when I came home, Anna was gone, and all my belongings were taken with me, leaving only a letter saying that she no longer loved me, and that she was going to be with the bastard, and that Tamara had taken her with her." Seeing that letter, it was as painful as getting kicked by the second child! I immediately went out to find that bastard, originally I just wanted to bring my wife and children home, but when I saw him, a nameless fire came up in my heart, which made me completely out of control. I slaughtered the dog and fed his carcass to the dogs. ”

Rogert: "Well, I'm sure Anna isn't happy..."

Baron: "Not to be happy! She was completely insane at that time, beating me, kicking me, catching me, and finally trying to stab me with a knife, if I hadn't flashed fast, I would have died a long time ago. That was the first time I hit her... Then everything changed, and there was no going back. Anna committed suicide several times and wanted me to be buried with her. She kept telling me harsh and nasty things, probably trying to provoke me to hit her again. She yelled at me that I had taken away the love of her life, that I had ruined the love of her life, and that I was no different from killing her.

I don't know how many times I begged her for forgiveness, how many flowers I gave her, how many gifts... She was unmoved. Over the course of two years, she gradually turned from anger to apathy, and only occasionally I got drunk, or she had hysterical episodes, did she quarrel again. I don't know how we've survived these years. But as you know by now, things aren't what they seem. ”

Rogert: "You're right, both of you are at fault. ”

Baron: "You can understand, I didn't say it in vain. ”

This is a family story ruined by war. The baron can't be at home because of the war, which is also a very helpless thing.

Baron: "Well, since you're not bringing Anna back, could you please at least tell me how she ended up in the swamp?" ”

Rogert: "Your wife is at the old witch's side, helping them with their errands." ”

Baron: What did you say? Where is the old witch? ”

Rogette: "The old witch lives in a humpback swamp. ”

Baron: "I've heard it, but I've always thought it was a story that scares children... How did she run to where? ”

Rogette: "They fled in the darkness of the night, but while riding through the forest, they were attacked by the old witch's monsters, and Anna was kidnapped. ”

Baron: "Monsters? Oh, my God... What about Tamara? Is she hurt? ”

Rogert: "No. ”

Baron: "Thank goodness, what happened to Anna?" ”

Rogert: "The monster took her deep into the hunchback swamp, but it didn't hurt her. In fact, Anna seemed to be doing well there. ”

Baron: Nice? What nonsense are you talking about? Why did my wife stay in the swamp? ”

Rogert: "She made a pact with the old witch, and it turned out to... I felt as if she had lost her mind. ”

Baron: "Contract? What the heck? ”

Rogette: "She was pregnant, but she didn't want to give birth to her baby, so she went to the old witch for help." They promised to help her with it, but in exchange for helping them with something for a year. Anna's pregnancy did get them to deal with it, but in a twisted way. ”

Baron: "What do you mean?" ”

Rogert: "Anna probably thought that the baby in her womb would disappear into thin air, but the old witch slowly drained her strength and finally made her miscarry. I think that's when she started to lose her mind. Then they restrained her with magic, which would cause great pain if she tried to resist it, so that she would not break her word. So, did Anna have a miscarriage once or twice?

Baron: "Make a pact with the witch... , it's ridiculous! We must get her out and not let her stay inside! ”

Rogert: "Even if you have an armed retinue, you shouldn't go into the swamp." The swamp itself is dangerous, and I think the threat of an old witch is underestimated. ”

Baron: "I'm not going to sit at home and wait for them to put my wife back!" If it were your daughter who was taken captive, would you wait for them to have mercy and release your daughter back? ”

Rogert: "I don't think so, because I'm a demon hunter, but you're not." ”

Baron: "Me? I am the husband and father who ruined my life and that of my family. I'm going to gather my followers now and get Anna back!" ”

Rogert: "Whatever you want." We said okay, I did what I had to do, now it's your turn. ”

Baron: "All right. Where did I say before? Oh yes, there's a giant griffon... Siri jumped right in front of us and blocked us. She was very brave and the bravest woman I have ever met! Eventually, we worked together to kill the griffon. She saved my life. She just appeared in front of me out of nowhere and killed the griffon... Appears out of thin air and chops off the griffon's head.

We go back to Wei Lun, back to the castle camp. I thank her for saving her life. She said I had helped her too, so we evened it out. She wanted to leave, and I begged her to stay, but she insisted. She said the Wild Hunt was after her. Because she used magic when she killed the griffon, Wild Hunt could already smell her. She said that staying would only hurt us. She told us to keep our doors and windows closed and not to wander out at night. I asked her where she was going. She said she was going to go to Grey, Norway on horseback. She mounted her horse and galloped away. Without her, this place would be so empty..."

Rogert: "The Redtanians blocked the Sideta crossing, and you said Ciri went to Grey, Norway?" ”

Baron: "She's looking for a sorceress, and all sorceresses live in Norwegian Grey." I gave her a pass and she could get through the blockade. ”

Rogert: "Pass? ”

Baron: "Uh-huh. Give the pass to those bastards at the intersection and they'll let you go. I've got one for you, too. I don't have to hold you back. You're looking for your child, and this pass will help. ”

Rogette took the pass: "Thank you. Where do these cards come from? ”

Baron: "I wasn't here to lead these clowns from the beginning. I served as a soldier in Temoa's army. ”

Rogette: "But it's the Redanians guarding the crossing. ”

Baron: "That's right. However, as long as you have a little fame and a wide range of friends, the style of the flag and coat of arms is not very important. ”

Rogette: "It's possible that Siri is still in Gree, Norway... Thank you for helping her. ”

Baron: "It's a small thing. I've told you what you want to know, and you're desperate to find her. Still, if you can... I want to go to Anna. I want to save her and bring her back. I don't believe she stayed there of her own free will. ”

Rogert: "Trust me, going to the swamp is all about death. ”

Baron: I know, so I want your help. I don't have any news of Siri to tell you anymore. But if you go with me, I will be very generous, and I will give you whatever I can afford. ”

Rogette: "Well, it's good to make more money. ”

Baron: "Hah! That's right! I will gather my men and set out for Chavalen, where you can meet us. ”

Rogert: "Okay, that's it. ”

Suddenly, a little monster came running up, and it was talking a lot in the house, and then a soldier came and took it away.

Rogert: "What's that?" ”

Baron: "Who knows if it's a man or a monster?" My men called him Uma and called him a monster, but I thought he was human, just as ugly as the soil of Austral. ”

Rogette: "Uma? Strange name. ”

Baron: "yes, that's weird. This is what he said himself. ”

Rogert: "It can talk?" ”

Baron: "Hardly. It was like this, and I asked him what his name was, and he just sat without saying a word, constantly trying to stick his toes into his nose. I grabbed his hand, looked him in the eye and asked, 'What's your name?' He looked at me stupidly and stammered, 'Oh... Uma? And then that's his name. ”

Rogette: "Well, it doesn't look like a monster, but my badge is vibrating. Strange, where did you find him? ”

Baron: "It's funny, actually, I won it by playing cards." ”

Rogette: "It's definitely the end of the road to bet on this." ”

Baron: "Don't tease me, stinky boy." Someone takes it as a bet, and we play. If you want to say that the end of the road, it should be the previous owner of that guy. ”

Rogette: "Tell me more about it. ”

Baron: "I once went to Grey, Norway, to rest and enjoy the entertainment of the big city. I was in a tavern where people were playing, so I joined. It was a good day. The hand of the hand was better than the hand, and the game made the eyes of those turtle grandchildren look golden. There was a player who was a merchant and lost very badly. He lost everything he had brought from Skelliger Island. He wanted to play with it, and I said yes. I asked him what he was gambling with, and he showed me the little one. It didn't do me any good, but I figured it didn't matter, just give this guy a chance to win something back. He was so unlucky that Uma ended up with me. ”

Rogette: "With this court jester, you're a baron worthy of the name." ”

Baron: "That's right. I feel like there's something wrong with it, though... It was more like a beast than a man, but there was a bit of wisdom and cunning in the bastard's eyes. Maybe it's just my delusion. Have you ever seen something like it? ”

Rogert: "No. It looks harmless, though. ”

Baron: "Well, I guess so. He doesn't eat much, as long as he doesn't get me into trouble, he keeps it and gives my men something to do. ”

Rogette: "It's time for me to hit the road." There will be a period later. ”

Tang Tu felt that there must be something wrong with this Uma, otherwise the plot would not have come to such a paragraph suddenly.

The scene is directly switched. Rogette and the player spawn in the village of Chavalen. The village here was destroyed. The baron was asking the magistrate what was going on.

Magistrate: "It's a beautiful mare, a horse demon... Everyone went crazy and pounced on each other... Killed everyone, not even neighbors and children. ”

Rogette walked over and said, "That's the spirit of the forest, taking revenge on those who tried to destroy it and driving them into madness." ”

Baron: "Rogette, you've come just in time. I couldn't understand what they were talking about. It's time for them to taste the power of the whip..."

Magistrate: "Great... My lord... Really a mare, the dark ghost of the forest... That's what they said..."

Baron: Who are they? ”

Magistrate: "Witch hunters, they've just passed through here and are heading to the village in the swamp. The little girl who was looking for her mother followed them. ”

Baron: "Little girl... It had to be Tamara. Rogette, we need to get over there! ”

Rogert: "I've got to prepare. ”

Baron: "What else to prepare now?" Do you want to shine your shoes or get a manicure? Whatever you want, I'm going to take my men and horses over. ”

Rogert: "Then we'll see you in the old witch's village." ”

The baron went away with the people. Rogette looked at the county magistrate, who was missing an ear, and asked, "What about the others?" What the hell is going on here? ”

County Magistrate: "All dead, cannibalistic death." Brothers slash each other with swords, sons attack fathers..."

Rogette: "How so? ”
