Chapter 343: Corpse Baby
"You rotten man, did you beat your wife, causing her to miscarry and run away with her daughter?" Edward slammed the baron to the ground and scolded, "As a man, you should be responsible, can you still be considered a man if you vent your temper on your wife like this!"
The baron was smashed by Edward's tremendous strength, and his face was even more blue and swollen. He struggled to get up www.biquge.info tried to defend himself loudly, but Edward knocked him to the ground again and again, and finally simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
The baron's men were bold enough to persuade them, but to Edward's surprise, he did not anger them, but asked them to carry the baron into the castle.
"If I say I'm in trouble because I can't control my wife and daughter, how useless will I look to be?" the baron peeked at Edward's anger before he came to his senses and said with chagrin, "I am a lord and must maintain enough majesty in front of others, and Anna and Tamara always make me angry in public, and after a drunken time, I finally couldn't help but have an argument with Anna. ”
"It was also the day I regretted the most. "There she is, the little naked thing, covered in blood, dead on the sheets. It was my fault, and in that moment, I couldn't forgive myself......"
Seeing the baron's remorseful appearance, Edward also calmed down a lot, he stood up, and the baron thought that he was going to hit him again, so he shrank back in fright and shrank his fat and tall body.
"Now that it's over, you need to learn your lesson and try to make amends. Edward sighed, "What do you do with the kids?"
According to the witch doctor, if a miscarriage is not properly buried, it will become a dead baby and go back to attack those who abandoned it. Edward looked at the blue and swollen baron's face and explained, "But if it is appeased, it can become the guardian spirit of the mansion, and by its blood connection, we can find your wife and daughter." ”
"What am I going to do?" said the baron, standing up and plucking up courage, "I buried it in a cemetery not far away. ”
"Let's go, you just need to hold it at that time, try to relax as much as possible, don't be afraid, and let your child feel your remorse as much as possible. Edward led the baron out and said, "As for appeasing it, leave it to me, it's not a difficult task." ”
The two of them arrived at the burial place of the dead baby at night, as if sensing the arrival of the man it hated, and a bloodied fetus crawled out of the hollowed-out grave, letting out a terrible roar full of resentment.
The baron was so frightened that he stepped back and looked at the fetus wrapped in the umbilical cord with trembling bodies, and could not believe that this was the daughter he had been looking forward to.
"Show your courage, Lord Baron. Edward held out his left hand to the baby and said, "Now is your time to make amends, and you must see it as your daughter, not a monster." Then do what I just said!"
Two bolts of light shot out of Edward's left hand, resting on the Baron and the Corpse Infant respectively. The baron, purified by the light, finally had the courage to repent, and withstood his nausea and hugged the corpse baby, whose roar had gradually subsided and transformed into a baby's cry.
It seemed to sense that the corpse baby was not as fierce as he imagined, or that the affection between the baron and the baby had played a role, and the baron even laughed happily and showed a caring expression.
Edward's Light was a powerful means of driving away filth, and on the way back to the castle, the corpses and babies were in a state of appeasement. It wasn't until Edward taught the baron how to recite the incantation and was buried in the corner of the castle gate that the baby's cry that attracted the demon spirit gradually subsided.
"Thank you, Mr. Edward. The baron, who had finally completed his heart, said to Edward, "If it weren't for you, I would have lived forever in guilt and alcohol intoxication." ”
"Drink less, Baron. Edward and the Baron sat down at the baby's new grave and said, "You can go and rest first, and at midnight the goblins will appear, and then I can follow her in search of your wife and daughter." ”
"Yes, I will quit drinking in the future. The baron glanced warmly at the burial site of the baby and said, "I can't sleep yet, and I can tell you the story of the two men you are looking for." ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll leave without helping you after I find out about the two of them?" said Edward with a smile.
"When you beat me up, I saw that you were an upright man. The baron smiled bitterly, "Most bounties in general don't care about the conduct of their clients, but you are angry at my foolishness, and only an upright person would behave like that." ”
"Moreover, this matter is caused by my fault, and even if you don't help me, I will do my best to find Anna and Tamara and ask for their forgiveness. ”
"Very well, this is what a responsible man should do. Edward smiled and patted the baron's broad shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will always help you to the end, after all, our two organizations still have to get along in the land of Willen." ”
Next, the Baron tells the story of Hermione and Ciri in a light-hearted tone.
Hermione and Ciri stay in the Crow's Nest, where Hermione spends the day with Ciri and teaches her the way of Light, while Ciri prefers her Demon Hunter skills. Although the two had a little dispute because of this, the relationship was still very harmonious overall.
Here, the two lived a rare leisurely life and had a horse race with the soldiers here. Hermione was not good at riding, and Ciri unsurprisingly won and got the Baron's horse.
It was at this time that a petrified bird attacked the Baron and captured him in his lair, and Ciri used his natural abilities to save him before Hermione could dissuade him.
After using her abilities, Wild Hunt once again sets his sights on Ciri, and Hermione and Ciri have to hit the road again in order not to cause trouble here, and their destination is Novigre.
"Looks like we're missing out again. Edward sighed, "I think I'll have to finish here as soon as possible and leave for Novigre." ”
"Take the liberty of asking who that little witch is you. "She is a man of integrity and kindness like you, and she has helped many people during her time with me." ”
"She's my wife. Edward laughed, "We came from far away and were separated when we arrived here. And that Ciri was the guy my other friend was looking for. ”
"What kind of people are you Demon Hunter Knights?" asked the baron cautiously, "after all, if we want to be happy with each other, we must get to know each other. ”
As soon as the topic was discussed, Edward came to his senses. He explained to the Baron in detail the nature and beliefs of the Witcher Order, and claimed that anyone could join the Order if they were of good character.
"Can anyone join? and so can my men?" asked the baron, somewhat incredulous, for in his eyes, such an organization could not exist.
"Yes, of course. Edward said, "Only those who have good character can go further on the path of the Light, which ensures that they will not do something that violates the rules of the Order, so I don't have to worry about them violating the moral bottom line in other organizations." If they reneged on the oath they had taken at the beginning of their membership in the Order, then they would lose their power. (To be continued.) )
