Section 99 Departure
It was early in the morning of the next day when Chen Yan returned to the outpost...... Monroe found him immediately.
"You're doing it irrationally." He said to Chen Yan. "Maybe they've gone a little too far, but have you ever thought about the consequences? Their family won't give up, and you'll be in trouble soon. ”
"No trouble...... Chen Yan just finished taking a shower and wiped his wet hair with a towel. Because I didn't do anything. ”
"You can't provide an alibi." Monroe has a black line in his head. "What's more, it's so obvious when you're gone, everyone knows what you're going to do."
"That's your business." Chen Yan said unceremoniously. Look out into the garden. "What if...... It's going to be a problem, and it should be your problem. Whether it's you or Emily, you owe me a favor. ”
"You ......," Monroe was speechless, and it took a long time before he sighed. You can see it......"
"Hmm." Chen Yan nodded silently, turned around and walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine, opened it, and poured it in a big gulp. He drank so quickly that he coughed at the end...... It took a moment before he took a deep breath and threw the empty bottle out the window.
"The Stehl outpost is an old stronghold, and it is impossible for me to be the only two witchers and Lifik, and it is impossible for me to support the situation alone when Lifik leaves. There must be a deeper reason why you are doing this. Sitting down opposite Monroe again, Chen Yan took out a cigarette and lit it. Add to that the fact that both Emily and you showed great restraint throughout the process, and it would be strange if I couldn't guess anything more. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Yan raised his head and glanced at Monroe, and said indifferently. "You're trying to tap into the power of the family behind them?"
"............," Monroe was silent before nodding after a moment. Yes, not just their family, but more forces. They were just the first pawns to enter. The real forces have not yet caught up. ”
"Your actions can only put yourself in danger." Monroe sighed again. "Let it go, Chen Yan. Stop being hostile to those three families. Your voice is insignificant to the human forces of the entire Hui Valley. This matter involves the materialization vein of the deep realm, and no one cares about the life or death of a demon hunter. ”
"Compared to these old families, your voice is too small."
Speaking of which, Monroe stood up and left a card for Chen Yan. "This is your reward for this mission, and I will do my best to turn this incident around. But there's no guarantee that you won't be targeted. If I were you, I'd definitely give myself a vacation. Get a good rest. ”
"I thought I would have a lot of tasks...... "Chen Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, pressing his finger on the card. For a nascent witcher, it's better to be busy. ”
"But the outpost can't shelter you anymore." Monroe turned and walked to the door, leaving Chen Yan with a back. "I know you've done what Emily and I always wanted to do but couldn't, but we ......"
"I'm sorry."
As he spoke, Monroe disappeared into the doorway. Only Chen Yan was left alone to ponder silently.
Looking at the card pressed under his fingers, Chen Yan was silent for a long time......
No matter what the world is, it is a big family. The mastery of the big forces, ordinary people are inferior to motes in this game. Originally, I thought that the witcher was a game-changer, but now it seems ...... He was still far away.
Such a me...... What if you can find your way home?
The room was quiet, and before I knew it, there was another figure at the door, a very young, very immature girl. She looked at Chen Yan for a while, and walked in boldly.
"What does Miss Emily command?" Chen Yan suddenly spoke, startling the girl.
"Ahh Mr. Chen Yan, Mr. Chen Yan...... How do you know I'm Ms. Emily......"
"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Mi'er. You tested my Witcher qualifications. Chen Yan didn't look up. Just said lazily, giving people a sense of decadence.
A hint of pity flashed in Mi'er's eyes, but in an instant, she took out a paper bag and handed it over. "Mr. Chen Yan, this is what Ms. Emily asked me to give to you."
Chen Yan took it and looked at it, his gaze shrinking slightly. "Did Miss Emily say anything?"
"She said, thank you." Mi'er took a breath. Said loudly. "On behalf of a lot of people, thank you!"
Saying that, she saluted Chen Yan, turned around and ran out. Looking at the bouncing back, Chen Yan only shook his head. In front of him, the paper bag was full of information and maps. "Ms. Emily. Do you feel guilty for teaching Leah? Or is it for me to feel guilty? ”
He didn't say any more, but put away his things and stood up...... From now on, the outpost was no longer his home, and although the fireplace was still warm, he felt the cold.
"A perfect vacation." Chen Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and walked back to the room.
Over the next few days, he went on a supply spree, buying a lot of equipment from the Demon Hunter Hut and the Black Market. It's also strange to say that the Demon Hunting Hut's arsenal that requires level points is fully open to him, and even the black market has many more things that Chen Yan can't usually buy. Chen Yan knew that this was what Emily and Monroe meant, and it also represented their compensation. And there is also a lot of money in the compensation they gave Chen Yan.
Five days later, Chen Yan had completed all the supplies and walked out of the outpost with his team.
On the morning of leaving the outpost, the sky was surprisingly clear, but the streets were deserted...... Chen Yan sat in the car and walked slowly, and just as he was wondering, he heard Shente suddenly shout.
"Look, my lord!"
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked through the observation port, but saw that the door of the outpost was black, and there were dense human heads everywhere.
Those were the mercenaries and inhabitants of the outpost, the people he had protected, or who had supported him.
No one made a sound, and everyone just looked at him quietly, as if they were performing a ritual. Wherever the armoured vehicle went, the crowd dispersed, revealing a corridor of people......
I don't know how long it was, but suddenly a mercenary shouted. "Please rest well!"
"Please go, sir!"
The crowd suddenly boiled over and shouted such and such voices. Chen Yan was silent for a while and closed the observation gate.
"This is the human heart?" Wei Li's voice came from behind her, and her eyes were a little envious and a little eager. "You haven't been at the outpost for long, but it's clear that everyone has recognized you. Perhaps only the former Lord Lifwick could have the support of so many people. ”
"They just need protection." Chen Yan replied. Jessica's shadow comes to mind. "A protector who can stand up when needed. I used to think that someone would take on this role, but I didn't expect it to be the most unlikely of me. ”
"Will we ever come back?" Jessica looked back at the outpost with reluctance in her eyes.
Chen Yan was silent...... It took a long time to speak.
"No, it won't." (To be continued......)
