38. The sophistication of the white wolf

"The weather in the north is really changing, just now the sky is clear, the sun is shining, this time, it will be foggy!"

"I hate this place!"

"It's still good to be in my hometown, good in the mountains and good water, and good in people!"

"There are also good things here, the fruit of the white orchard is good, sweet and big, tender and juicy..."

"There is also the top wood of the Cunning Fox Forest, which is also of the highest quality, I heard that the nobles of the Golden Tower City did not hesitate to send people here to purchase..."

"No, it's too far."

"You know what, it's called taste, and it's pretty fast to walk by water..."

The group was walking along the path in the forest, and the trees on both sides were still there, but they were no longer fruit trees, indicating that this place was far from the white orchard.

After learning that there was no need to accompany the witcher to the high post to 'send him to death', the dull Nilfgaard people immediately came to life.

Captain Henry had a smile on his face, and he was much more attentive to the demon hunters.

"Here we are, this is where I was almost overrun by the evil spirit, oh, the daytime spirit."

The corporal stopped beside a large rock, and he looked at the 'black carpet' not far ahead, the scene still vivid.

"I fell right here, and I started to go backwards, you see, this is a little hole that I kicked out of my heel..."

Listening to his vivid description of the situation, the faces of the soldiers gathered behind him were full of luck.

Huck and the others didn't let them follow, not because they had any kindness, but because ordinary people were simply sent to death when they faced this kind of monster.

Not only will it not work, but it may also be unhelpful.

Looking ahead, the scorched meadow looks like a black carpet on the green field, stretching all the way to the mill perched on high ground.

"You just wait here, and when we're done, you come up again."

Geralt admonished the Nilfgaard and continued on his way with Huck.

The two drifted apart, and soon disappeared from the sight of the black-clad soldiers.

"It seems that some rumors may not be true, and the witchers are not so evil!"

A stocky Nilfgaard with a spear and axe looked left and right at the dark forest around him, feeling something.

"I hope they can successfully complete the task, otherwise sooner or later, this matter will still be ours."

"The Witcher is an expert at hunting monsters, no problem!"

"I hope so!"

Henry glanced at the building on the high hill, and his heart was mixed, his comrades were lying not far in front, but he did not dare to go over and help them collect the bodies.

Whew~

A roar came from the dark forest, which made his heart tighten.

Looking at the pair of green eyes that emerged from the dense forest and grass, the corporal immediately shouted: "Wolves, prepare for battle!" ”

Hearing the order, the Nilfgaard immediately surrounded it, forming a ring of defense.

As long as it's not a weird thing that can't be killed, they're not afraid at all.

On the other side, the two witchers cautiously walked towards the high hill, seeing the corpses of many Nilfgaard soldiers along the way.

They examined each one by one, and found that each corpse was almost dried up, with burn marks.

All of the corpses were killed with a single blow, and the sharp claws sliced through the armor, clothing, muscles, and then took their lives.

At this time, the sun had completely disappeared, and white mist emerged from the mountains and forests, gradually filling the sky and the earth.

Looking at the gloomy weather, Geralt crouched down, played with the scorched grass with his hands, and after a moment of careful inspection, he stood up and looked at the buildings on the high hill.

"Do you remember Professor Harlot Jolson's Encyclopedia of Monsters about daytime spirits?"

He wasn't going to go right away, he wanted to study Huck first.

Harlot Yolsson is a mage, a historian, and an expert on monsters.

His "Encyclopedia of Monsters" covers almost all kinds of monsters in the Wizarding Continent.

"The woman who looks like she has been burned by the sun during the day wears a white robe.

Most of them are young women who died violently before marriage, wandering the fields with anger and anguish..."

Huck recited as he recited the contents of the book.

"They are often imprisoned in the world by objects of strong emotional significance.

If you find a wedding ring or a torn veil in the field, don't pick it up and run away.

During the day, the wraith only haunts the countryside, and usually stays near the place where they died..."

"What should I do with this evil spirit?"

Geralt interrupted the rambling young witcher and asked the crucial question directly.

"Use the evil spirit oil to increase the damage of the silver sword" Huck quickly gave the answer without much thought.

"Use the Dust of the Moon or the Seal of Ardennes to restrain her ability to switch between reality and reality, and use the Quinn Shield to fend off the surprise attacks she receives after squinting with dust.

Use a crossbow or quick sword to quickly destroy its clone, and restrain its ability to use the clone to absorb life energy and quickly recover from its injuries.

And the stronger the light, the stronger the power of the daytime spirit, try to avoid fighting her in the sun."

"Very good," Geralt was satisfied with Huck's detailed, coherent answer, "Tell me what you think about the mission objective." ”

"The only way to destroy a demon is to destroy its spirit, and if you can't find its body, you can burn its corpse and remains."

At this point, Huck paused, thought for a moment before continuing:

"Judging from the information provided by the corporal, it is likely that this daytime demon was imprisoned in this place by some kind of object, which is what we call 'Tsubaki'.

In this case, in order to destroy her, it is necessary to find the 'Tsubaki', burn it along with the remains of the corpse, and destroy the spirit that was forced to appear.

During the day, Wisps can only be found near corpse remains or Tsubaki, so we should first search Hover's buildings to find these two things. ”

Geralt laughed as the young witcher spoke unhurriedly.

"Viselmir is a good teacher, you are also a good student, and if you can be careful and attentive enough, you will definitely make a good witcher."

Huck's mental age has passed the stage of being excited after being praised twice, but he is still a little surprised, he didn't expect to hear the praise from the white wolf's mouth one day.

This guy, although he saved himself, has always had a cold attitude, and he hasn't said a few words for so many years.

Is the sudden change of attitude now because he showed his attitude that day and kept his distance from Ciri?

"Last question" Geralt didn't know what the young witcher was complaining about at this time, he was looking at Gao Gang with an excited face, "What should we do now?" ”

"I think it's time to get ready for a big fight!"

As soon as the young witcher's words came out, a terrible wail came from the hill.
