9. Tadi Village

Huck didn't stop at the burning village, or even enter it.

After checking the signs and knowing that the burning village was not Tadi, he turned to another road and drifted away from the burning village.

After rushing to the road, he finally had time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

It's now May, and the temperature in Temeria is much warmer than in the Blue Mountains and Kodwin, and after crossing the Pontar River, there is no more snow to be seen.

The warm and pleasant temperatures give birth to more flora and fauna, and the wide variety of flowers and trees makes the whole world colorful and vibrant.

If there had not been war, Temeria, one of the two great powers of the north, would have been a place of flowers, scenery, wealth and prosperity.

But Nilfgaard's invasion destroyed all good things, and there was no shortage of corpses hanging from the crooked neck trees by the roadside, and abandoned villages could often be seen along the way, such as the burning village.

Huck had traveled about 1 mile along the main road, and when he came to the top of a hill, he saw the place he was looking for.

Not far away in the woods is a village.

From afar, villagers with pitchforks, machetes, and sticks are confronting a small group of people at the entrance of the village.

Bandit?

Rebels?

Huck didn't go over immediately, but turned over and dismounted, gathered his equipment, and prepared for a possible battle.

Take out the crossbow in the storage space, place the arrow, and put it back in.

The storage space can store all non-living items, there is no air in it, it will not lose heat, and it can even be used to keep it fresh.

When you want to take out something, you don't need to rummage through it, you just need a thought to get it into your hands.

In order to reduce the burden of combat, as well as to make it easy to access, and to achieve the effect of surprise, daggers, crossbows, and most alchemy items are stored in the storage space.

Compared to the magical space equipment that usually exists in the form of containers such as pockets or waist bags in the wizarding continent, the storage space is more than a little more powerful.

To retrieve something from the magical space equipment, you need to rummage for half a day to find what you need.

By the time the things were taken out, a long time had passed, and it was impossible to complete these actions in a rapidly changing battle.

There are no such problems in the storage space, it only takes a thought, and the weapon is in hand, and it is easy to kill the enemy by surprise.

After checking his equipment again, he led his horse and walked towards the entrance of the village.

When he was still a dozen meters away from the entrance of the village, Huck used his super sensory powers to begin to look at his surroundings.

Demon hunters are stronger, more agile, and more agile than normal humans, and can perform movements and reactions that are unattainable by ordinary humans.

At the same time, the mutation also gives them a certain degree of night vision, immunity to diseases and super recovery ability.

After being strengthened by mutation, the sensory ability of the demon hunter far surpassed that of ordinary people, and it was already several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary people.

The Super Sensory Skill is to further link the five senses of the witcher, and then concretize and visualize, so that Huck can "see" smells and sounds, and track traces that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.

With super sensory powers, the whole world becomes colorful, and everything around it is visible.

Various traces of residual gas can be "seen" in the air, floating in the air like strips of silk.

Stones, trees, insects, birds, animals, etc., shimmer with a faint light of different colors around their bodies, revealing both their locations and outlines.

Ants crawl on the tips of grass blades, a few bees hovering over wild chrysanthemums, a bird hiding behind dense leaves, a long snake walking in the meadow...

Tree branches are swaying, dead leaves are falling, the stream is babbling down the slope, and insects are chirping dozens of meters away...

Details and potential dangers that are difficult to find under normal circumstances can be seen very clearly at this moment.

After looking around and not noticing any other dangers around him, Huck was relieved.

"Quinn!"

The left finger nimbly and quickly sketched an inverted triangular sigil, then quickly clenched his fist and put a looming magic shield on himself.

As a steady and cautious new professional witcher, he will put on a "condom" on himself in advance every time before a battle or when he feels in danger to ensure that he will not be accidentally shot.

After experiencing the battle of the little fog demon, he was deeply aware of the shortcomings of actual combat, so he became more cautious.

If you hadn't been so panicked at the time, if you had used your super sense to explore, you wouldn't have let the monster come to your side before you found it.

From that day on, he deeply understood a truth: before the battle, the shield probing second skill must not be missing.

Tadi Village is a small village with only about 100 people, and most of the villagers make a living from fishing.

A gravel-paved, well-trodden road starts at the entrance of the village, intersects with the road leading to the white orchard at the bottom of the gentle slope, and then continues until it reaches the river where the fishermen fish.

Following the carefully maintained road with few potholes and carefully maintained by the villagers, Huck soon came to the entrance of the village.

Both sides of the confrontation spotted the approaching witcher and looked at him.

By this time, Huck had seen clearly that the fierce people at the entrance of the village did not seem to have any intention of making a move.

Headed by a bearded man, with a muscular physique, a linen long-sleeved jacket and a brown-yellow leather waistcoat, a dark shawl, and a brown floppy hat.

He was unarmed, and in his hand was a proclamation with a seal and handwriting.

The people next to him were dressed in different clothes, some were wearing shabby leather armor, some were wearing single clothes, and some were wearing thick variegated thick cotton armor, all carrying various weapons in their hands.

They were slightly surprised when they saw Huck's clothing features, but instead of panicking, there was a commotion among the villagers who were in high spirits.

"Witcher?"

"Look, his cat-like eyes are exactly what Claire said..."

"What is he here for? Could it be that the lord hired us to deal with us? ”

"No, no, I think it's supposed to be commissioned for our mission..."

"yes, don't we have orders all around the place?"

Thinking that the person who came was not the lord's lackey, the villagers suddenly calmed down, and their faces were not frightened.

Standing in front of the villagers was a thin old man with snow-white hair, very neatly dressed, with a sense of majesty and a bright and intelligent eye.

The bearded man stared at Huck as he slowly approached, his eyes full of wariness, and he was relieved to see that he had walked a few meters away and did not come any closer.

"Are you really here to take on a mission?"

Thinking in his heart, he returned his gaze to the villagers in front of him.
