In the Crow's Nest, the thinned Baron was fighting a demon hunter in the open space in front of the castle in the inner city, several of his men gathered around to cheer, while the baron's wife sat at the castle gate with some food and watched them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What's wrong, Sark, show me what you've learned at Willen Fortress!" The baron, who was full of energy, seemed to have changed his appearance, and seemed to be several years younger. He was bare-chested, revealing muscles that were still a little fat but had already turned back into strength.

Fighting against the Baron was a young man who looked like he had just come of age, and he was knocked to the ground by the Baron, who had a lot of combat experience, but quickly got back to his feet

"Aha, you see, our little imp Sark is still not convinced. Throw in the towel, crybaby, you can't be a match for the Baron. One of the baron's men said in a jealous tone.

"Shut up! I'll show you people who don't qualify for the Knights the strength of the Demon Hunter!" Sark was bruised all over his body, but the momentum on his body did not diminish in the slightest, and his heart of faith surged wildly, allowing his strength to return to his body again.

With this momentum, Sack fearlessly rushed towards the baron, dodged the baron's fist with his head down, and punched the baron in the stomach.

The baron's face turned red at once, and he staggered back a few steps and sat down on the ground.

"Alright, you've won, Mr. Little Demon Hunter who hasn't graduated yet. The baron gasped for a moment and smiled, "I really didn't expect that our cowardly little Sack would have the courage to beat me now." ”

The baron's men laughed, and in their opinion, the baron had no problem, he was just letting Sark. But only the Baron himself knew, and his aching abdomen was a sign of little Sack's growth.

Just then, a loud eagle cry came from the air, and a winged monster swooped down from the sky.

"It's a griffon! protect the baron!" Sack was the first to react, a tumbling sword and shield from his pile of armor and standing in front of the baron. The other men also hurriedly took up their weapons.

"Alright, don't panic, it's Edward's mount. "The Baron has seen this monster in the air, and it's Alan.

As the baron had said, Ellan swooped down and raised a gust of wind and stopped in the clearing, Geralt jumped from Ellen's grief and apologized, "Sorry, Baron, you know, this is Edward's companion, and it won't land as smoothly as I said." ”

"Welcome, Mr. White Wolf. The baron laughed and hugged Geralt, waved his men away, and led him into the castle. He knew that the demon hunter was busy, and there must be something going on here.

"Hello, Ms. Anna. As she passed by Anna, the Demon Hunter greeted her, "I'm glad to see you reconciled with the Baron, and I wish you happiness." ”

"Thank you for your blessings. Anna smiled, "I also want to thank you for helping us, please sit inside, I will prepare some food for you." ”

After taking his seat in the halls of the castle, Geralt got straight to the point and said what he meant.

"You're going to take Uma?" The Baron didn't expect Geralt to come here this time for the ugly monster he had won back from gambling, "Of course it's fine, it's just that Anna ......"

"Difficult?" said Geralt.

"Ever since Anna came back to me, her desire for children has intensified. "But we are all very old, and it is difficult for us to have another child, so she poured all her maternal love into Uma, even though he is an ugly monster and not a man." ”

Geralt was silent and thought for a while, "I know this is a bit embarrassing for you, but this Uma probably has clues about my adopted daughter Ciri and Edward's wife Hermione, and I must take him away and find a way to lift the curse on him." ”

"Where are you going to take him?" said the baron, as if an idea had come to mind, "Fortress of Willen?"

"No, I want to take him to Kylemohan. Geralt said, "You know, we Demon Hunters don't want to owe people too much favor, Edward ......"

"That's a bit of an outrage, Geralt. Before Geralt could finish speaking, two figures suddenly appeared in the hall.

"Sorry, baron, please forgive me for being uninvited. "But I am anxious to know where my wife is." ”

"I knew my presence wouldn't escape your eyes. Geralt smiled wryly, then looked at Triss and said, "I'm glad to see you again, Triss, why are you with Edward?"

"Willen will be the new home base of our witches' guild, and Edward has promised us to build a manor for us. Triss's eyes were filled with complexity as she looked at Geralt, and she explained, "And I'm going to try to join the Knights of the Demon Hunters. ”

"Congratulations, Triss. Geralt said, "It's a smart choice." ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Geralt was defeated, and said to Edward, "I have searched almost everywhere, but I can't find any clues about Ciri and Hermione, what did you find?"

Edward shook his head and asked, "What are you here for......

"I learned from Yennefer that there is a monster here in the baron, and there are most likely clues in him. ”

"Monsters, what monsters?" Edward had not seen Uma, and turned his head to look at the baron.

"Wait a minute. The baron stood up and stepped inside, and in a moment he and Anna came out, and in Anna's arms she was holding a monster with a large head and somewhat crooked features.

At the sight of the monster named Uma, Edward's eyes narrowed and sparkled.

"A vicious and powerful curse. Edward saw it at a glance and said, "In him, I saw pain and humiliation, but I couldn't speak. There was another soul hidden in his body. ”

"Yes, the child is in pain. Anna also said sadly, "No matter how hard I try, I can't make him happy, do you have a way?" ”

All eyes were on Edward.

"There is a way, but there is no room for two souls in one body. Edward said, "One of the very weak souls must leave this body. ”

"No, it won't work! you can't kill him!" said Anna, hugging Uma tightly.

"Lady Anna, I didn't mean to kill him. Now Uma's condition can only cause two souls to suffer at the same time, and only by expelling one soul and letting him live here as a family goblin can the other soul be liberated. ”

As Edward said this, the baron's family goblin flew over and hovered over Uma's body, as if he wanted to have a playmate.

Anna beckoned, and with a loving look of affection, the house goblin rested on her shoulder, and was silent for a moment, before finally nodding. (To be continued.) )
