Chapter 2 Clues

By the time Fraser opened his eyes, it was already dark, and the light shone through the open window, causing him to close his eyes again, his eyes more adapted to darkness than to bright light. The mercenaries were gone, and the witcher was about to leave, when Amos saw him awake and threw him a loaf of rye bread. "I wonder why you were still asleep when the mercenary left, but woke up while we were gone. ”

Fraser nibbled on a bite of bread and picked up a jug of water by the fireplace. "You can understand it as a coincidence. ”

Amos picked up the package and tightened the two swords that hung tightly behind his back. "If you want to find any clues, you'd better hurry. As she walked out of the room, Yurania followed, two short crossbows swinging back and forth with her steps.

Fraser raised his head and drank the water from the jug, followed him with the bread, and the three of them walked unhurriedly towards the fields outside the village. In the distance, the mercenaries were searching for something in a swamp, and the emir stood by and watched them. After walking through the fields, the road to the swamp was very difficult, there was no obvious road, and puddles of water that would never dry up were all over the ground, so the three of them had to find as dry ground as possible and slowly lean towards the mercenaries.

Not far from the mercenary, Amos crouched down by a small puddle, as if he had found something, and Jurania followed his example and observed, Fraser knew that the witchers had their own methods and skills for tracking monsters, so he stopped bothering them, but walked to Emir on his own. "Your courage is really extraordinary, even if a water ghost suddenly appears in front of you now, you won't have any panic. ”

The emir was still looking at the mercenaries in front of him. "I know what you're trying to say, but your inference is wrong. ”

"Oh?" the answer surprised Fraser. "And what's the truth?"

"Then you'll have to find out for yourself. The Emile turned to look at Fraser. "You're different from them and look hopeful that you can find the truth. With that, he turned his head away and ignored him.

Fraser didn't say anything more, but clasped his hands together and waited for the results to be seen by the witcher. The Witcher was a master at tracking down monsters, and after a while, he finished his reconnaissance and walked towards Fraser. "It seems that there is work to be done this time, and it is still a big one. ”

The mercenaries also heard Amos's voice and leaned over, and Eilish asked the witcher, "What did you do?"

Amos clapped his hands, and the dirt fell from his hands. "Water ghosts, and ......"

"It's just a water ghost!" said one of the mercenaries beside Elish, relieved.

"Stop dreaming, Barney, if it's a water ghost, there's no trace of a fight, and who would be stupid enough to walk into this swamp and die?" Lenny stared at the witcher.

Amos sighed. "I'm not done yet! In addition to the water ghosts, there are other monsters that lure the villagers over, and then the water ghosts carry them away. ”

Barney was visibly frightened. "And ...... What other monsters?"

Eilish pulled Barney behind him. "Don't be so unproductive, isn't it a banshee who can charm people?"

"You're half right. Amos looked into the distance. "This time it's a swamp banshee, compared to ordinary banshees, they not only have the ability to charm people, but also some simple magic, so they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary banshees. ”

Elish rubbed his hands uneasily. "The swamp banshees and a bunch of water ghosts, it's not easy to do. ”

Jurania snorted disdainfully. "If it's too late for you to leave now, it'll be too late for you to meet those monsters. ”

To the surprise of the witchers and Frazier, Eilish did not overreact to Yurania's words. "You have a point, but since we're here, we can't retreat without even seeing the monsters, and the reputation of the Gale Regiments can't be ruined. ”

Amos nodded, and raised his hand to look further away. "According to my judgment, the monsters have gone in that direction, and they must have traveled frequently on this route in the past month, and probably now, so if we track the past, it is very likely that we will encounter them halfway, so everyone should be vigilant. ”

Elish spoke to his men before motioning for the witchers to lead the way, with Amos leading the way, Yurania and Emir following closely behind, and Fraser and Windwres at the end.

It was nearly noon, the sky was cloudy, and even during the day, the cold wind was blowing, and everyone was not feeling well as they were marching through the wet swamp, and Fraser and Eilish talked. "I've heard of the Gale Force, and unlike other mercenary groups, people have a pretty good opinion of the Gale Force. ”

Erish laughed happily when he saw someone complimenting him, but was immediately glared at by Jurania and had to be quiet. "You're right, since the end of the Seventh Dark Tide War, so many monsters have suddenly appeared on Wallis, someone has to solve them, although the demon hunters are highly skilled, but the number is too small, there is no time to deal with the monsters that appear in various places on the continent in time, so the Gale Regiments have stepped forward. ”

Yurania turned her head again. "That's nice, aren't you in it for the commission?"

Erish wasn't angry. "We are different from you, we are all ordinary warriors, fighting monsters is extremely dangerous for us, if we don't get it, we will lose our lives, and charging some extra commissions is really nothing. ”

Fraser nodded in agreement. "That makes sense, the reputation of the Gale Regiment is not bad, but the reputation of some mercenary groups is not so good. ”

Eilish spat disdainfully. "Those scum, taking advantage of the troubled times to burn and loot, simply ruined the reputation of mercenaries!"

"I used to be a mercenary, too. Fraser smiled. "Actually, it can be considered now. ”

Elish looked sideways at him. "I've always wanted to ask you, you are really bold enough to dare to come here alone, you see the witchers and they all come in pairs. ”

Fraser shrugged. "You'll find out why in a moment. ”

Jurania slowed down and walked over to the two of them. "Your mercenary group should bring a few mages into the gang, with them, it will be much easier to deal with monsters. ”

"Mage?" Erish was about to burst out laughing again, but the sight of Jurania that could kill him immediately choked. "I guess all of Wallis's mages have died in the Seventh Darktide War, the Seven God bless them, I'm not cursing them, but it seems to be the case. ”

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Fraser narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. "I just met one a while ago who can control monsters. ”

"Really, then you can quickly introduce yourself to me. Elish looked at Fraser eagerly, and even Jurania turned her head to look at him intently.

"I don't know where he went. Fraser shook his head slightly, still looking ahead, his brow furrowed. "We'll talk about that later, there's something to welcome us. ”

Eilish and Jurania both turned their heads to look ahead, and Amos had already sensed the anomaly ahead, and although he was still leading the team, the speed had slowed down, and a tense atmosphere had spread, and everyone's hands were clenched in their weapons, ready for battle.

At this moment, a strange singing voice reached everyone's ears.
