Chapter 32: We Are Not Heroes [Eighth Update]
Today's Fantesin seems to be in high spirits for chatting.
He took out another cigarette from his body, lit a flame with the Dharma Seal, and then took a deep breath and said, "Do you know why I don't like to get along with ordinary people? ”
"Why?" Su Ziyu wondered, "Because they see us as outliers?" ”
Fan Texin shook the ashes of his cigarette, as if he was stuck in a memory of the past, and said slowly: "I used to be entrusted by a school to deal with a demon hunter who slaughtered ordinary people. ”
"I tracked him down for half a month, and finally caught him near the small town in Avia."
"I thought he was a mad witcher out of control, but he's sane, do you know why he's slaughtering those ordinary people?"
Facing all kinds of monsters for a long time, there are also some people in the witchers who will gradually lose control of their spirits.
But their will is strong, and the out-of-control witchers are only a handful.
"Why?" Su Ziyu asked curiously.
Fantesin took another puff of tobacco and said slowly, "His name is Willen, and he is not a very powerful witcher, and I easily defeated him. ”
"He took on a mission in a village in Tanya to help them take down a foul spirit. It took him a lot of effort to get rid of the enemy, but when he went to the village elders with the monster's head to ask for payment, they used various excuses to excuse him, and only offered him three gold galleons, which was not even enough for him to make potions. ”
"Willen is quite unhappy about this."
"Because he was injured while dealing with monsters, he needs a sum of money to keep afloat until he recovers from his injuries."
Su Ziyu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and his expression gradually became solemn.
It doesn't look like the witchers are having a good time.
"The villagers found out he was injured." Fantesin exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "Then these people lied to Willen that there was a little money hidden in the village's warehouse, and they attacked Willen from behind with weapons while he was not looking. ”
"It's a pity that these people underestimated the reaction speed of a demon hunter, and Willen avoided the fatal point, and this premeditated sneak attack didn't kill him."
"And then he got out of control."
"Willen killed all the people of that village, leaving only a little girl."
Su Ziyu's brows furrowed even more when he heard this, and he asked softly, "Then what about him in the end?" What do you do with him? ”
Instead of answering the question, Fantesin asked rhetorically, "What if it's you?" What would you do if you were asked to deal with such a witcher who had slaughtered ordinary people? ”
"I ......" Su Ziyu's expression suddenly hesitated, and muttered, "I may let him go." ”
"It's not his fault, after all."
"Those people didn't pay him what he deserved, and even went on a surprise attack because he was injured."
"This kind of behavior is more than innocent!"
Su Ziyu put himself into the identity of the demon hunter, if he risked his life to help those villagers kill the monsters, those people not only refused to give money, but also wanted to sneak attack and kill him, then Su Ziyu would definitely go berserk.
The blow at that moment was very terrifying for the witchers who hunted monsters all year round and protected ordinary people.
It's not just about money.
The vast majority of witchers are not wealthy, and they only earn enough money to make ends meet.
If it's really for money, there are many ways to get money with the strength of the witcher.
"I killed him at the time." Fantesin's fingers trembled slightly, and he took a deep puff of tobacco and said, "Because his sword is stained with the blood of innocents." ”
Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, "It's a pity. ”
"Now my sword has been stained with the blood of ordinary people."
Su Ziyu was silent.
Now he finally understood why when dealing with the water ghost woman that day, Fan Texin had to hide his injuries from ordinary people.
It's a complicated witcher.
He can bargain with his clients for money and try his best to get them to add money, or he can set out overnight to help poor villagers kill the harmful ghouls for a small amount of money.
Fantesin's strength is not very strong, but his back looks very tall.
"Let's go." Fantesin extinguished the tobacco in his hand.
He turned his back to Su Ziyu, put his hands in his pockets, and whispered, "Your potential is greater than mine, maybe one day in the future, you can rebuild the Demon Hunter's Academy and restore our inheritance." ”
Fantesin is teaching him more about his life experience.
He always told Su Ziyu that the witchers were not heroes, they were just a group of experts in dealing with monsters, but Su Ziyu really learned a lot from him, even if he had a lot of flaws in his character, but that couldn't hide a spirit in this old witcher.
This is a lonely and strong soul.
On the way back, neither of them spoke again, and Vantesin went directly to see Ms. Enid, while Su Ziyu returned to his residence.
Melissa was still practicing the White Crow swordsmanship.
Su Ziyu looked at the sweat on the girl's face and said softly, "Go and rest." Today's training was enough. ”
"Okay. Mentor. Melissa put away her sword and nodded.
She took a few steps, and suddenly hesitated, and did not look back, but asked softly, "Is he leaving?" ”
"Hmm." Suziyu did not choose to hide it.
Melissa's figure stood still for a moment, then returned to her room.
She didn't say anything, perhaps long in anticipation of this day.
The next day.
Su Ziyu saw Fan Tesin who was ready to go, next to Melissa with slightly red eyes, Fan Tesin walked over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Leaving today?" Su Ziyu's expression was a little lost.
"Hmm." Fantesin lowered his voice and said, "Lady Enid will take action during this time, and she can still be trusted for the time being." ”
"If you feel too dangerous, give up."
"Someone will come and help you in a while."
"There are still our people in Jackdaw, if you don't have a place to go, you can go there!"
There are still some witchers in this world who have survived.
Vantesin had mentioned Jackdaw Castle more than once, and this collaboration was more of an attempt, as both the sorceress and the witchers were making it more and more difficult to survive in the Southern Continent, and they both had the idea of establishing a foothold in the Northern Continent. The Witcher's Academy has long since been reduced to rubble, and now the surviving Witchers are wandering around the world, and Fantesin has his own plans, but no one knows what he made with Lady Enid.
