Chapter 329: White Orchard Village
Faced with Geralt's sudden spell, Edward froze for a moment, then regained his composure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Now, tell us, Mr. Edward, the Demon Hunter from afar, where are you from?" asked Geralt.
"Far away, a place you don't know. Edward said calmly.
"What is your purpose in approaching us?"
"Find someone. ”
"Why do you, as a demon hunter, only have one long knife that looks like it can smash people, but not two swords?"
"Isn't one handful enough? Dragon King Xingyao can not only smash people, but also monsters. ”
"How do you tame a griffin? In my opinion, this is not something that ordinary humans can do. ”
"The answer is simple, I'm not your average human. ”
"Who are you and what is the name of that woman you just showed with your magic?"
"Hermione Granger is one of my wives. ”
"How many wives do you have?"
"Well, I can't play anymore, Mr. Geralt. At this point in the question, Edward laughed, "This demagogic magic of yours is indeed good, it allows you to pry open the mouths of your enemies, but don't you think it's a bit rude to use it to inquire about my private affairs?"
Geralt took a few steps back in surprise, and Viselmir beside him thought he was embarrassed, covered his face and said, "I've said it many times, Geralt, don't use the Yakshifa seal on your peers, it will make you suffer!"
Compared to Geralt, Viselmir was more steady, and he came to Edward and said, "Stranger Mr. Edward, I don't know what your plans are to find us from the sky, but if you want to find someone, you don't have to follow us, in fact, we are also looking for someone." ”
"If you want to find someone, you can go to the inn in Baiguoyuan Village in front of you. The rescued farmer cautiously said, "There are many travelers coming and going, and the innkeeper is a relative of mine, and she will entertain you." ”
"Thank you. Edward kindly tried to pull the farmer up from the ground, but as if he had seen a ghost, he panicked and ran away.
"As I said, your mount is not a good thing in the eyes of others, it is a symbol of bad luck. Geralt looked at Edward in embarrassment and said, "Alright, Mr. Stranger, as a token of my apologies for using your magic, you can follow us to the village ahead, but only if you don't ride your griffin again." ”
"Thanks, I'm just missing a guide. Edward laughed, "However, I'll correct that Alan is not a griffon, it's a Hippogriff, and in our country they are very top-notch mounts, both land and air." ”
"Oh my God, you still named that monster?" Geralt shrugged and jumped into his horse's path, "Now, Mr. Stranger, how are you going to get to the village ahead?" ”
"I can use my legs. Edward smiled nonchalantly.
"Did you use it to run?" Geralt was taken aback, and then looked at the long knife behind Edward, "Could it be that your—Dragon King Xingyao, well, the name is very domineering—is hollow?"
"Of course not. Edward smiled, "Isn't it necessary for you demon hunters here to exercise their endurance?"
"What do you mean? in bed or ......"
"Enough, Geralt, time is running out, we must get to White Orchard before dark, I don't want to stay in the wilderness any longer. Geralt seemed to enjoy teasing Edward, who he thought was a hillbilly peer, but was quickly interrupted by Viselmir.
So, a group of three people rode horses, with Edward running behind them.
At first, Geralt and Viselmir took good care of Edward, deliberately slowing down. But when they found that Edward was still following them with an unchanging face after a long distance, they sped up.
When the sky was getting dark, the three of them finally saw a village wrapped in an orchard standing on the edge of a river, and a street sign on the side of the road said in English, which was the village of Baiguoyuan.
The entry of the three Geralts made the villagers here look curiously, especially Edward, who came here on a run, and the huge dragon king star behind him was the one who attracted the most attention.
After tethering the horse to the door of the inn, Geralt also took a special look at Edward, who still had his face unchanged, and praised: "Now I know the reason why you have many wives......
"Why?" asked Edward, for some reason, for whom Geralt's joke was not yet within his comprehension.
Geralt looked defeated, and was about to talk to Edward about his experience of maneuvering between the many women, when three angry men came up whistling and swearing foul language, as if trying to bully outsiders.
Geralt and Viselmir were accustomed to such people, and in this day and age, demon hunters were not respected by everyone.
Edward frowned at the three rascals and followed Geralt into the hotel.
The inn was very warmly furnished, with people sitting at the tables in groups, drinking to themselves, chatting with each other about topics of interest, or playing cards that Edward had never seen.
The trio's entry provoked no reaction, and Geralt and Viselmir found the innkeeper and inquired about the whereabouts of a witch. They were also disappointed that the proprietress had not heard of the witch.
"So this lady, have you ever met this person. Edward was about to use a magical image to show Hermione's appearance, but was immediately stopped by Viselmir.
He pulled Edward aside and said, "Young man, it seems that you have indeed come from afar, and you do not know the customs here. ”
"Showing magic in front of strangers will not make the people here feel safe, on the contrary, they will most likely reject you as an outlier. ”
"That's right, inexperienced stranger. Geralt chimed in, "Even if you're going to use magic, you have to do it without the other person noticing, like this." ”
Geralt untraceably used the same magic he had used on Edward against a traveler who was very unfriendly to him, and the other man's expression quickly changed from disgust to confusion, telling that he had seen a female knight riding through the village.
Geralt also asked Hermione's whereabouts very righteously, only to be confused and shake his head.
"I see, it does seem like this is a very strange place, and I need to find Hermione in another way. Edward tore off a notice affixed to the wall of the inn and laid it flat on a table with no guests.
Geralt and Viselmir walked up curiously, wanting to see what he was up to.
In the astonished gaze of the two, the text on the notice slowly disappeared, turning into the face of a realistic beautiful girl. (To be continued.) )
