At daybreak, Edward, Geralt, Kayla, and Baron set out from the fortress of Willen, using Kayla's portal directly to the entrance to the humpback mire, and headed towards the nearby village of Nizhny Valen. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the way, Geralt recounts what happened to him and Kayla, as they searched for clues to Hermione and Ciri in a cave in an ancient ruin, when they met an elf who seemed to help the two girls while also defeating a hunting general.

"Elves?" "Elves?" Edward had rarely seen elves since he came to this world, but he had seen a lot of dwarves, and he also saw a dwarven blacksmith waiting in line to enter the city in the fortress of Willen.

"He's not the scum of the Squirrel Party. Kayla said, "It's an elven mage, who looks a little bit old, and who wears a mask mysteriously. However, instead of appearing in his real form, he used a magical video message to help us find the exit to the strange cave. ”

"What kind of organization is the Squirrel Party?" Edward asked.

"The Squirrel Party is a guerrilla organization of elves. "They are present everywhere, and they are a group of anti-human rebels. Once upon a time, the elves were the masters of the land, but with the rise of humans and the merciless slaughter of the elves, it was difficult for them to even survive. Nowadays, elves rarely appear in the high-ranking organizations and countries, and most of them are reduced to low-level beings such as beggars, prostitutes, and robbers. ”

Edward then inquired carefully about Geralt's experience, and the group arrived in the village of Lower Valen.

"That's all?" Edward was a little surprised, and the famous Mr. White Wolf had passed by these things in the past few days.

"What more do you want to know?" Geralt said guiltlessly, "Do you want to know about me and Kayla?"

Edward shook his head helplessly, and found the village chief under the gaze of the villagers.

"You're looking for the gray-haired girl and the little witch?" said the village chief, as soon as he saw the portraits of Hermione and Ciri, "these two little girls came to us a few days ago, and they seem to have been chased by the three old witches in the woods. ”

"They helped us with the dark forces on the hills of Murmur, and left in a hurry without even asking for payment. "Before you came here, a group of witch hunters also came here, including a little girl looking for her mother, and a dark horse with demonic eyes. ”

"That must be Tamara!" said the baron excitedly, "but how could she be with a witch hunter? That's someone from the Church of Eternal Fire, a dogleg of Ladovid." ”

"There's a witch hunter here, and it seems that I am not fit to come forward. Kayla frowned, "They're not very nice to us witches. ”

"Church of the Eternal Flame?" Edward had also heard of a church that was a thorn in the side of Enchil, and Nilfgaard's law against superstition was in large part designed to prevent the spread of the Eternal Flame in their territory.

"It was an extreme group of religious fanatics who treated witches or infidels, usually under the pretext of faith, burning them at the stake, and purifying them in the name of purification. The Baron clearly has no affection for the people of the Eternal Flame, "Compared to your Light Purification, they are literally taking away people's lives by doing so. ”

Edward nodded. Edward didn't fully believe the Baron's words, and their Demon Hunter Knights were a kind of ecclesiastical organization, and he would not rely on the good or bad of other churches.

However, now that the witch hunters are here, they must also set off as soon as possible.

"Wait. As Edward and the others were about to leave, the village chief stopped them, took out a dagger, and cut off his ears with a single sword.

"Village Chief, what are you doing here!" Edward hurriedly healed the village chief's wound with holy light, and said suspiciously.

"Thank you, sir. The village chief, who had been treated by the Holy Light, looked much better, and he curiously touched the wound on his ear, which was rapidly scarring, and said, "Those three old witches are our nightmare, they have been coercing us to collect all kinds of strange things, cutting off our ears, and forbidding us to come out of the humpback quagmire, we have had enough!"

"They live in the depths of the humpback mire, and my ears are the sacrifice for them to appear, otherwise you will not find the three old witches. The village chief gritted his teeth and said, "I want to beg you to destroy or drive away those three wicked old witches, and return us to a peaceful life in the village of Lower Valen." ”

"You're a good village chief. Edward admired the village chief's actions, "Now that we, the Demon Hunter Knights, are here, we won't let them do anything wrong, and I assure you that they won't be here again." ”

With that, Edward left a sign of holy light in the middle of the village under the shocked gaze of the village chief and many villagers, and then led everyone deep into the humpback mire.

"That's what he's always like?" Kayla asked Geralt softly as she finally decided not to leave.

"That's what he looks like. Geralt spread his hands and said, "Edward, the messenger of justice, a good man who is consistent with his words and deeds, if it weren't for his much more accommodating human feelings, maybe he would not have friends or companions at all, who doesn't have some shortcomings?"

"If this were on the battlefield, he would be a good commander who leads by example, but in ordinary life, it is the same way, and I can't accept it. The baron also fell behind Edward, and joined the discussion, "On the whole, though, he is a friend worth making. Not to mention his magical abilities, having him by his side at least won't make you make a big mistake. ”

"Is that the Holy Light?" Kayla curiously glanced at the Holy Light marker that could be seen far away, "Geralt, the Holy Light you use seems to be much weaker than his." ”

"It's a magical power, it doesn't need magic, it doesn't use the power of the body, it just depends on the heart of faith, it can inspire such a powerful and fully functional power. Kayla said enviously, "Compared to magic, this light seems to be more useful?"

"No way, people can be regarded as my teachers after all. Geralt said, "Although the Holy Light is easy to use, it has many limitations. And it doesn't have as much power as magic. I thought that with my current abilities, I could only do blessing weapons and casting them in a straight line, and the latter was not very powerful. ”

"I've heard that, too. The baron said, "This holy light seems to be cultivated only by good people, and I have no hope." ”

"In other words, I can also cultivate?" Kayla's eyes lit up and she said eagerly, "I'm a good person, right?"

"I think it's fine, you can talk to him about that. Geralt was about to go up to Edward to talk about it, when he suddenly saw Edward make a vigilant gesture.

"Guys, do you need to be quiet when talking about other people's things behind your back?" Edward glanced at the trio behind him, "Now that the chat time is over, we have work to do." ”
