Chapter 13: The White Wolf (Part II)

Before the bounty had been paid to the merchant, Ciri accompanied the demon hunter in the blue guard costume away, perhaps because the attitude of the demon hunter was not as bad as that of the tall and sturdy demon hunter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Are you really a Demon Hunter? I haven't seen a Demon Hunter wearing a blue guard's costume. Ciri told him that it was very strange for a non-human demon hunter to wear a non-human killer costume anyway.

Although there are no wonders in this world, it is the first time that Ciri has seen such an ironic thing.

"Ah...... Yes. After a slight pause, the steel sword behind his back was pulled out of the scabbard by the other party, and the sound of friction between the steel provoked Ciri's relaxed nerves.

The long sword hanging from her waist was pulled out at the same time by Ciri, who didn't know what the demon hunter in front of her was trying to do, and the sudden change made her mind confused.

But soon, Ciri understood what was happening, and six men with weapons surrounded him from all sides.

The men who were in the flow were disheveled, or not fully clothed, and they looked like war-torn people except for the weapons in their hands.

"You step back one after another. The Demon Hunter slightly reminded Ciri to back out of the fight.

But Ciri didn't listen to the other side, and it was undoubtedly foolish to lay down his weapon when the enemy was surrounded.

"Geralt of Livia, I advise you to go back with us obediently, Virginma, although the bounty for bringing a corpse back is not much, but we will not mind ......" The outcasts led by the leader brandished the inferior sword in his hand and threatened.

Although he didn't want to get involved in the struggle of these people, Ciri still learned what happened from the conversations of these people, or rather, he made up all the things from the words of the other party.

Geralt of Livia, a demon hunter known in the north, often heard about his legend when he was a mercenary, and Ciri was most impressed by the title of Butcher of Bravican, where he was rumored to have killed Raub Bird and seven of her men.

Lauber Bird and her men were a nightmare for Ciri for some time in the past, and the mercenary group that Ciri served tried to exterminate this gang of bandits for a bounty, but they were all wiped out by the other side. ①

The legend he heard before made him know the identity of the other party, and the news he heard recently made him understand what happened.

Not long ago, the king of Temeria died after the siege at the hands of a demon hunter who was his personal bodyguard, and this demon hunter was Geralt. ②

The two sides started to fight without saying a word, but the robbers who surrounded the two did not take Ciri seriously, picked up their weapons and rushed forward to target the demon hunters on the scene.

Before the leader of the outcasts could raise his weapon, a deep bone wound was cut in his throat by the demon hunter's steel sword, and the blood gushing out could not stop the gushing blood no matter how blocked the opponent's hands.

The red liquid that remained on the steel sword had not completely faded, and the whistling sound of the long sword penetrated into the eyes of another outcast who wanted to sneak up on Geralt, and the powerful power of the demon hunter sliced the homeless man's head into irregular halves, and the broken flesh and blood brought a great visual impact to onlookers.

Turning nimbly, he tripped over another sneaking robber on the wet dirt without removing his foot, and when he tried to get up, a steel sword pierced through the spine and pinned him to the dirt.

The displaced people who struggled for several times finally left the world unwillingly, accompanied by several screams of sorrow.

In a short period of confrontation, more than half of the team of the displaced people was lost, and the huge contrast between the front and back made the displaced people hesitate.

But the Demon Hunter didn't want to let go of these people, and his empty left hand swiped in the air, and Ciri's familiar seal appeared in the air.

The appearance of the Dharma Seal has made the homeless people continue to retreat, as ordinary people, they are most afraid of these mysterious things, and the Dharma Seal of the Demon Hunter is among them.

Puff -

The sound of the sword entering his body reached everyone's ears, and the outcasts watched in disbelief as their companions put weapons into their bodies, doubts and anger froze on his faces, and the dirt that slowly fell on his body also aroused the fear of the last sane outcast.

The vagabond, waving the weapon in his hand in a panic, was fighting to the death with his companion, and in his fearful eyes, he finally had his throat cut by his companion, and his terrified eyes finally saw the sword that pierced his companion.

Flicking the sword in his hand at will, throwing the blood on it onto the mud, Geralt seemed accustomed to the killing in front of him.

"It is often said that a demon hunter has two swords, one of steel and one of silver. "The six corpses on the ground gave Ciri a real sense of the horrors of demon hunters.

Compared to the big man's powerful hand-to-hand combat skills, this kind of invisible spell that kills people is even more terrifying, and no one wants to die at the hands of close comrades.

"Steel swords are used to kill people, and silver swords are used to kill monsters. Ciri's eyes finally rested on the other party's amber cat's eyes, and there was no trace of the excitement of the war maniac, nor the madness that a murderer should have.

The skillful technique must have experienced countless exercises or actual combat, but the other party did not have a little emotional fluctuation because of this, is it numbness or the sequelae of mutation?

The rumor that the Demon Hunters are a bunch of emotionless monsters is not unfounded.

"This statement is false, because some monsters are afraid of silver, and some monsters are afraid of iron, and I need to choose to use steel and silver swords according to the type of monster. "When the blood on the steel longsword is completely out of the blade, Geralt inserts it back into its sheath" But sometimes, humans become monsters. ”

The philosophy of the Demon Hunter, Ciri felt that the other party was covering up for his actions just now.

"Let's talk somewhere else, it's not a good place. The smell of blood filled the humid air, and a drizzle in late autumn had made it muddy, and the sticky mud was very uncomfortable for Ciri, who had been affected by feminine cleanliness since she had become a woman.

―――――― Texture Loading ――――――

The only hotel and the only brothel in Floating Harbor, Ciri is no stranger to it, as she used to frequent, whether it's to stay or find special services to relieve the stress of the fighting.

Here she saw many people who had greeted her warmly, prostitutes, drunkards, sweaty boxers, gamblers who were sometimes exuberant and sometimes sluggish, familiar faces, familiar voices, but strange eyes.

Their gaze makes Ciri feel very uncomfortable, but the legal constraints of reality make her have to endure in silence.

The two finally sat down in a remote place, which was remote, but it didn't diminish their gaze at Ciri and Geralt.

Now what makes Ciri care is not the eyes of ordinary people, but two people who make Ciri feel threatened, one is leaning against the door of the hotel room, the face of the knife is cut, and the eyes that penetrate people's hearts firmly bring her heavy pressure;

"Can you show me that pocket watch of yours?" Geralt's magnetic voice drew Ciri's attention, and his amber eyes caught the girl opposite's every move.

"Shouldn't the Demon Hunter negotiate the price beforehand?" the other party's directness left Ciri at a loss.

"Ah...... This is true, but I would like to assess the difficulty of this possible commission. ”

The blue guard's gaze slowly slowly averted, and the hostile gaze of the remaining red-haired woman intensified.

Ciri never remembered what personal grudges he had with the other party, and now that he had become a woman, it was impossible for his former enemies to recognize him, let alone connect his former male self with his current female self.

Doubts swirled in Ciri's heart, and she had no clue but to put them aside.

The one that hung around his neck was taken off by Ciri and placed in front of the demon hunter on the other side.
