Chapter 16: A Brief Entry into the City
"How many times have you said don't fool around with the wild cats outside! Rummaging through garbage cans, catching mice, eating cockroaches...... You're a wizard's messenger, not those wild cats, and you don't need to bring the mice back if you have food at home, and you don't need to store the dead mice! Wash your paws, and don't go to the kitchen until you're clean......" Liya crossed her waist and lectured Ula Meow.
This cat is really not worrying, Bavi was fine when he was there, Bavi jumped up and down in dissatisfaction as soon as he left, just because Bavi forgot to take it with him, and then made an awkward scene, and recently learned to go out and fool around, mingling with the wild cats in the suburbs.
Led a group of wild cats and a nearby wild dog gang to "fire" several times, crazy and crazy, and still remember to go home before dark. But every time I come back, I have to bring some "tribute", not to mention rats, cockroaches, etc., and there are a lot of fish bones turned out of the trash can. Liya, who is a nobleman, almost didn't go crazy when she saw these hidden in the kitchen, and after a few times, she changed from patient preaching to serious education.
"Meow~" Ula Meow raised her head aggrievedly and said that this was a little "heart" of the people below, and it was inappropriate not to accept it.
Liya didn't care so much, after humanely destroying the "tribute" of Ula Meow, she carried the back of her neck and threw it into the bathroom: "Don't soak it in disinfectant for more than an hour, don't think I will hug you!" ”
Liya closed the bathroom door, turned around and picked up a bucket of "fertilizer" for the blood clan and went to the vegetable patch in the back. The special vegetable plot here is carefully cared for by Liya, and after fertilizing, she brings back the ingredients for dinner.
"Eat, look after the shop, tidy up the house. I really didn't expect that one day I would live such an ordinary life. "Liya sped up the speed of picking vegetables, the witcher didn't have enough money last night and only paid a deposit, and came to pick up the goods today. It is also necessary to buy Bavi's experimental samples from the werewolves, and the order of the wraiths cannot be solved, so they can only retreat, and the people in Europe have ordered a batch of potions to be delivered through the nightmares......
Liya is busy with business and has a fulfilling life. Bavi's side is also full, "The last one! Falme easily walked behind the werewolf and grabbed the back of the neck and pulled the entire spine out.
The two Bloods, who had already been desperate after being surrounded by werewolves, were dumbfounded, and this girl who suddenly rushed out with wolf ears and tail launched a whirlwind of slaughter against her kind, the combination of sharp claws on the tips of her fingers and bone blades on the back of her hands tore apart all resistance.
"Poof~" Falme looked at the silver sword that passed through her abdomen, and the blood clan behind her had a smile on the success of the sneak attack. Breaking the blade of the sword and pulling out the hilt behind the back with his backhand, the wound on Farme's abdomen healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became smooth and new, leaving no traces.
Twist the dumbfounded Blood's head off, then capture the escaped one and nail it to the tree facing the sun.
"You know what? It's rude to stab a lady in the abdomen with a weapon, and I've saved you. By the way, any idea why you were nailed here? It's a great place to get your first glimpse of tomorrow's sunshine. What a warm feeling it feels to be illuminated by the morning sun! Don't thank me. Falme said of the warmth of the sun.
"Farme?"
Quickly smashing the heart of this bloodline, Falme turned his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry! The road has been asked, and we will walk another twenty kilometers to reach Paris. ”
"Just ask for directions, it doesn't have to be like this." Bavi was a little strange that Farme was not a murderous character.
"The blood clan is a passive defense, this group of werewolves is a predator, specializing in robbery for a living, bastards of the same clan who don't let go, the clan was robbed by them, I almost didn't survive that winter." Farme calmly said that she was more vindictive.
Bavi nodded and began to clean up the scene: "After the enemy is killed, it will be enough for humans, but it will not apply to heretics. Flame is a powerful tool for the evolution of most dark creatures, and it is safer to burn it. With a swing of his staff, he set fire to all the lying on the ground, and then blew the ashes away, "Hurry up and get into the city, and then I can decide where the ravens will explore." ”
"Paris, it seems to be a plane similar to the earth, so the judgment of the Middle Ages is correct. However......" Bavi remembered the living conditions of these European barbarians, and said that they basically lived in dung heaps, and that the "city of" was not for fun. Do you want to go?
In the end, at Falme's insistence, Bavi chose to go into the city. The reason is very simple, the little wolf girl who has never seen the world wants to see what the big city looks like.
After paying the entrance tax, Bavi looked at Falme, who had been covering his nose as soon as he entered the city, and teased: "It seems that organs that are too sensitive are sometimes a burden!" ”
"This barbaric bunch of maggots...... Not...... Bavi, I can't hold it anymore. Farme asked Bavi for help.
After the simple life spell of odor isolation was applied to his nose, Falme began to officially look at the big city he saw for the first time. Dirty and muddy streets, narrow residential areas, and fly-infested trading markets were far from what Farme had imagined.
"There is always a gap between the ideal and the reality, and don't use the cities of my time as a yardstick." Bavi answered Farme's doubts in advance.
Two people wrapped in neat black cloaks struggle to navigate the city, not paying attention to the "flying air raids" in the surrounding buildings.
Bavi followed his senses and stopped in front of a tavern, where there was a magical reaction. The smell of blood could be felt from the personnel entering and exiting, and they were not wearing ordinary iron weapons. There are no professional soldiers who look more like mercenaries, but I didn't expect there to be witchers here.
Bavi walked in with Falme, and no one paid much attention to the two new guests with hoods and cloaks. The gaze quickly shifted, just a simple look. It is estimated that which nobleman will quietly issue the commission, most people think so in their hearts, and it is estimated that there will be business again.
Bavi noticed that one of the walls of the tavern had been converted into a notice board, with paper-like mission information pasted on it. Sticking to a wall full of them, Bavi's gaze quickly swept over, this is still a relatively developed low-magic world.
Exterminate the werewolves, hunt down the blood clan mission announcement was posted like this, as well as bizarre recruitment information, treasure hunt bounties and the like. The common people here are aware of the existence of heresies, and the hunting profession is civilian.
These weren't what he wanted, and Bavi went straight to the bartender. Without waiting for the other party to ask, he threw out a gold coin on the bar: "What information has you had lately, the kind of valuable." ”
The bartender looked at the still spinning gold coins on the table with a look of disdain, and then forcibly adjusted his facial muscles to hide his disdain and put on a flattering expression. The bag of "cuties" bobbing up and down in Farme's hand was the main reason for this conversion.
"I wonder what adults want to know?" The bartender consciously put the best wine in front of Bavi.
"Recent rumors, previous legends. You can say whatever you want, but you have to have evidence, and don't take out the kind of things that bluff children. Let me be satisfied that these are yours, and if I am not satisfied, this is yours. Bavi pointed to the money bag in Farme's hand and then to the gold coins on the table, "Of course, if the cooperation is pleasant, there are other rewards." ”
The bartender's throat tightened, and he could tell by his voice that the bag was enough to be comfortable for a long time. Gather your thoughts: "Werewolves have recently migrated east, and it seems that they are going to ......" glanced at Bavi's expression, and he consciously terminated the introduction.
Bavi pushed the gold coin on the table forward: "If only this level of ......"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! To the north, someone found the tomb of the god in the north! I brought something out of it, I don't know what it was, but I did bring it out. The bartender hastened to remedy his future happiness. As a result, the words that came out of the mouth caused a burst of laughter.
"Haha, you're crazy about money!"
"Roar! Someone got the artifact, which main god is he? ”
"You haven't woken up after stealing wine and drinking, no wonder Lao Tzu feels that the portion is not enough every time!"
"Are Odin and God going to war? Ha~~"
The bartender leaned into Bavi's ear and whispered quickly, "This news is true, someone really went in and brought something out." The Church has asked for secrecy from above, and now the joint exploration team of the Witcher Headquarters and the Church has set off. We were ordered to spread rumors and cover up the truth of the information as much as possible, so that too many flies would not disturb the exploration team. ”
Bavi nodded: "What about the others?" ”
The bartender listed some of the inside information, the treasures left behind by Merlin in England, the legends of the Black Forest in Germany, and the lost treasures of the Crusader expedition......
Bavi listened for a moment and motioned for the other to stop, then got up to leave. The bartender's face changed and he was about to ask for money when a money bag fell into his arms. Feeling the pain of happiness, he opened the bag, and the bartender was so shaken by the yellow color inside that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Master Bavi, do you want to get rid of the tail before leaving?" Farme followed Bavi and asked.
Bavi nodded and turned into a remote alley, and walked inside, and the few figures who followed out of the tavern immediately picked up their pace.
"It's going to be a hassle to see blood in the city, so you can take a more modest approach." Bavi said as he led Farme back onto the main road, a few toads beating restlessly in the alley behind him.
Falme nodded in understanding and looked back: "People in the slums probably don't eat toads, right?" ”
"Who knows!"
Seeing Bavi walking out of the city, Falme asked suspiciously, "Have we only been in the city long before we have to go out?" Don't you need the city's information channels? ”
"Don't go out, you want to stay here for the night?" Bavi pointed to the harsh environment and continued, "The bartender is telling the truth, the polygraph didn't call the police. Now our destination is the north, and I wouldn't live in the city even if I needed access to the city. ”
Falme shook her head desperately, nodded in agreement, and followed Bavi's steps faster.
After leaving the city, Falme shook her nose to breathe in the fresh breath of the suburbs, tried to get the foul gas out of her lungs and inhale the fresh air, and after a long sigh, said, "Now I finally know why the nobles here live in the manors outside the city." ”
