Chapter 449: The Dinner Party
"We double the honorarium, every witcher who accepts this task, regardless of whether the task is completed or not, will receive a reward of 10,000 gold coins, the duration of this mission cannot be unlimited, two days, only two days, whether you can find Mia or not, we will pay each of you 10,000 gold coins, on the contrary, we will ask some of you to keep us safe during these two days. ”
According to the mysterious letter, Aaron is the next target, and Foday decides to use the power of a part of the witchers to protect Aaron, and for Mia, as long as he can find it, he must bring it back, whether he is dead or alive.
"Mayor Foday, Master Aaron has said that you have no enemies, and besides, we are on a search mission, so we don't want to get involved in personal grudges. ”
Although the witcher takes on all kinds of tasks, he doesn't want to be a force for some people to fight privately, so it's better to die fighting monsters than this.
"I vouch for my personality, you will never be involved in any private fights, but Mia was taken away by monsters, obviously monsters have extremely high intelligence, I am worried that monsters have other plans, so I will ask some of you to protect our safety, if the monster comes again, you can also directly complete the task, if some ill-intentioned people want to exchange Mia for ransom, we will definitely not involve you. ”
The fox is still an old spirit, although Fody deliberately concealed the fact of the letter, but he insinuated that if something really happened, it must be difficult for these witchers who received the reward to leave it outside, not to mention that in this courtyard, there is also a gathering of forces to protect Merlin Town.
The agreement was reached, limited to two days, leaving more than a dozen witchers to protect Foday's safety in the mansion of Mayor Foday, and some of the soldiers of Merlin Town also went out to find Mia's traces.
It turned out that this day was just a false alarm, although no trace of Mia was found, but Aaron was still alive and well, for Foday, it may be a comfort, saving Aaron's life, and when he is old, Aaron can take on the responsibility of the mayor of Merlin.
When all the witchers who had gone out to find Mia returned, smelling of dust and horses, Foday treated them warmly, in the hall of the mansion.
The mayor's house may not have been so lively for a long time, even during the break, there was a lot of noise, leather creaking, men talking and laughing, the fire in the stove was blazing, Foday had arranged a dance for these witchers, a group of women dressed in tulle to show off their amorous feelings, these energetic witchers were screaming with excitement, and the whole hall was filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere, and the witchers gathered in twos and threes to chat.
"Arrange for some people to go out for vigil. ”
Foudy arranged the assignment with Aaron, and then continued to drink with the witchers.
"Remember, there is another kind of dog demon in the forest, similar to the hound, but I bet five hounds may not be able to beat one, and if you ask about speed, the hound can't even see the shadow of the canine demon. ”
An older witcher is spreading information to a young witcher.
"Hey, boy, who's that woman?"
A somewhat drunken witcher who thinks he's in love with a middle-aged woman pouring wine in the distance, asks a young boy who brings him a fruit bowl.
"A widow in Merlin, whose blacksmith husband died about seven years ago, now has a daughter, and the mayor's wife sees her as pitiful, and when the mayor's family is in trouble, she asks them to come to the mayor's house to help, and give her and her daughter a certain reward. ”
Although the little boy who served the fruit plate was a little confused, he still answered truthfully.
"Look, it's a gold coin, and if you can help me bring her a word, I'll give you another one. ”
The witcher gave the little boy at the end of the fruit bowl a gold coin and promised another to help him pass the word, and soon the witcher noticed the middle-aged woman coming towards him, and he found that his heart began to pound after a long silence.
"I'm Lila, and I'm the owner of the blacksmith now. ”
After her husband's death, Lila began running the family's blacksmith shop.
"My name is Rhonda, and I've seen your daughter, a very straightforward girl. ”
Rhonda the Witcher suddenly felt a little resembling himself, but he quickly found the topic, there was no parent who didn't love his children.
"Obviously, he inherited this from me, and besides, you asked this kid to tell me that you wanted to buy five knives?"
Lila smiled.
"Maybe I'm a little drunk, in fact, I want to ask if this knife of mine can still be repaired, you know, I used it to kill a dozen monsters. ”
Rhonda pulled a knife with a broken tip from his bosom, and he didn't know if telling about his "great achievements" would make a good impression on Delilah.
"Of course, as long as you pay enough, I promise you'll find that it's exactly like new. ”
If anyone observes, they will find that many witchers have accosted some women in Merlin Town, and if there is no accident, some of them may choose to join Merlin Town after tonight to improve the protection of Merlin Town.
The banquet went on normally, but Aaron, who arranged the night watchman, disappeared from the dinner party in a flash, because he was on his way to the residence of the person he loved, and soon they kissed together?
"Don't you welcome me?"
Aaron feigned anger.
"What? You don't quite own me yet, maybe I have a choice. ”
The woman sneered, genuinely happy at the tension on Aaron's face.
"I will, you'll never escape the palm of my hand. ”
"Your parents won't agree with us, our identities are too different. ”
There was a little gloom in the woman's eyes.
"Don't worry, after these two days, my father will listen to me for everything, and I will tell him that I want to marry you. ”
Aaron had also seen the contents of the letters, and he believed that as long as he survived these two days, his father might listen to him for anything.
It's just that Aaron doesn't know that the content of the letter is not a threat, maybe the messenger of death has already set his sights on him.
"O fallen creatures, at the invitation of the messenger of darkness, tear off your disguise and bring sorrow and despair. ”
In a dwelling somewhere in Merlintown, a woman hidden under a black robe spat out some obscure syllables in a strange voice, and in front of her, a dozen or so people turned into different monsters and disappeared into the night after hearing her strange spell.
"Bang bang. ”
One of the soldiers on the night watch suddenly heard a strange sound, like someone stepping on a dry branch, and he seemed to see a dark shadow flashing into the mayor's house, and when he tried to look, he found nothing, perhaps he was too nervous, or maybe he was just dazzled.
