Chapter 338: Miracles
Three days later, Edward and Geralt rode Alan to the land of Willen, where they looked down from above as a no-man's land, with only corpses and monsters strewn all over the ground, and few people could be seen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not far from the small village at the crossroads, the two descended, and Edward once again let Alan roam freely, and he and Geralt walked to the inn together.
"Willen is big, and what we need most at the moment is to find two horses to walk around, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble for our search trip. Geralt said.
"This is Willen?" Edward glanced at the big tree with many hanged corpses hanging in the distance, "It's hard to imagine that such a large territory at the junction of the three kingdoms has no army. ”
"The Redtanians are shrinking the defensive area of Nilfgaard, and Temeria is already in a state of collapse, and Nifgaard is so large that it needs to create a buffer zone between it and Redania, so it has formed the current Wilen. Geralt pushed open the door of the inn, glanced at the guests who were drinking here, and walked straight to the innkeeper.
"I'm looking for Handrick, have you heard of this man?" Geralt asked for two glasses of wine and asked directly to the innkeeper.
Of course, he lived in the village of Heethton, just over the hills. The owner of the hotel seemed very kind, and did not ask for benefits like Geralt, and replied directly, "This kind of ghost place, only I can have a drink here, and people there often come to me for a drink, but it seems that I haven't been here for many days recently." ”
"If you're looking for that drunkard, you'd better hurry. The shopkeeper placed twice as much of the wine in front of Geralt and Edward, "In the morning, we also saw a strange white light from there, perhaps the men of Nilfgaard attacked it. ”
Edward took a sip and was about to ask the shopkeeper for some information, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the shop.
The drinkers in the tavern fled through the back door in panic, leaving only Edward and Geralt.
"I advise you to flee through the back door. The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Although those ruffians rarely kill, if they are encountered, your belongings will likely be emptied." ”
"Here, they're even more terrifying than those monsters. Those monsters may kill people and eat them, but they will slowly torture ......"
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, a group of soldiers pushed open the door of the shop and surrounded them when they saw the two.
"Sit down and have a drink, or I'll turn you into corpses. Geralt looked at the provocative soldiers with wolf-like eyes and said, "You should have heard about the difficulty of demon hunters. ”
As if frightened by Geralt's identity, the group of soldiers looked at each other, eventually taking a seat at the next table and raising a glass to Geralt, as if to signal that they did not want to be his enemy.
"I didn't expect you to have a time to use the Huairou strategy. Aside from the door of the inn, Edward smiled, "The Demon Hunter seems to be a good place to be here. ”
"Where there is no order, it is better to cause less trouble or to try to cause as little trouble as possible. Geralt tightened his gear and glanced at the hill road in the distance, "Looks like we're going to have to run over, hoping that the royal agent can provide us with two horses." ”
When the two of them reached the gate of the village, they saw several soldiers surrounding a villager, and shouted loudly: "Untouchable, you will not have time to hide her someday, do you hear?
Looking at the swaggering soldiers and shivering villagers, Edward raised an eyebrow and walked up.
"Before I'm angry, you'd better get out of here. Edward grabbed the head of the soldier at the head of the leader, pulled him back, and threw him to the ground, standing between the soldiers and the villagers, and said, "Now, this place is under the protection of my Demon Hunter Knights, and if you scum dare to come here, be prepared to accept the punishment of death." ”
Seeing that someone dared to provoke them, the other soldiers immediately drew their weapons, and the leader jumped up in anger and cursed angrily: "Where is the fool! How dare you interfere in our affairs! Catch him for me! Lao Tzu will beat him to death and feed his body to the wolves!"
As soon as the leader of the soldiers spoke, his men rushed at Edward, and the soldiers in the tavern rushed out.
"It seems that you will not listen to what you say. Edward's hand blurred, and the huge Dragon King Star Slam slashed directly at the nearest soldier.
A scream rang out, and the soldier was split in half with his weapon, and Edward.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling flash of knife light, in the blink of an eye, all the soldiers who were originally gathered in front of the villagers' houses did not even scream, they all fell, and none of their bodies were even intact.
The villager, who had been threatened by the soldiers, screamed and ran into the house, and Peng slammed the door shut.
"Looks like I don't know you quite yet, Mr. Demon Hunter. Geralt, who had only killed a soldier, looked at Edward who had come out of the bloodshed and said, "Didn't you say that you demon hunters never kill people?"
"You're right, Mr. White Wolf. Edward held the dragon king star and looked at the soldiers who rushed out of the tavern and were frightened by Edward's murderous scene of chopping melons and vegetables, and said, "Sometimes, people are more terrible than monsters. In this era of war, if you want to purify this land, you must fight violence with violence. ”
"So, I treat these people like animals. ”
After saying that, Edward's eyes narrowed, and he rushed directly to the stunned group of soldiers.
When the screams of the village at the crossroads had stopped, Edward and Geralt had not even splattered blood, and the soldiers had died on the ground.
"Looks like we don't need to look for horses. Geralt looked at the horses left behind by the soldiers and said, "You're going to set up your camp here?"
"That's right, the terrain is good, and I can build a fortress-type castle on the river in the south to serve as the headquarters of the Knights. Edward walked to the middle of the clearing in front of the tavern and half-crouched down, "And this will be the first place to be protected by the Knights." ”
Geralt was about to ask something, when a huge light burst out of Edward's body, in a slender cylindrical shape, towards the air, forming a demon hunter's emblem formed by holy light in the air.
The Demon Hunter stood up in surprise, staring at the pillar of emblem light with wide eyes, and involuntarily closed his eyes, feeling the soft, warm glow emanating from it.
The villagers, who had been frightened by the conflict and confined the door of their houses, also looked out of the window, and their somewhat numb faces gradually showed shocked expressions.
They felt the radiance of hope, as if it could purify all the filth of the world, and dispel their tired, hungry bodies and desperate hearts!
"The world needs miracles. Edward stepped out of the light, causing all the villagers to feel an urge to worship, "So, let me be the miracle that saved her." (To be continued.) )
