The crossroads are on the hill east of the White Orchard, where the roads diverge, one leading to Novigre and the other to Vigema.

In addition to the main roads, many side roads also intersect here, leading to various villages.

The road is lined with dense woods, and it is unlikely that anyone will be spotted if they are hiding nearby.

Towards noon, the sky was still gray, and large clouds of white mist rose and fell in the forest.

The ruins of the dilapidated castle at the foot of the mountain were gradually shrouded in white mist, and the red brick walls in the ruins of the ruins loomed in the fog and slowly lost their traces.

Maybe it's the weather, or maybe it's the war, and the roads that used to be bustling with people are empty.

A gust of wind blew, the branches of the trees swayed and rustled, and the white fog on the road was blown away a lot, revealing a human figure.

The figure was getting closer, and he was able to see his outward appearance clearly, he was a young witcher with two swords and amber cat's eyes.

After meeting up with the Nilfgaards, the witchers did not return to the White Orchard with them.

Huck arrives at the crossroads, and Geralt goes in search of buckthorn.

They didn't find Tsubaki trapped by the daytime demon on Hofer Heights, which meant they couldn't completely destroy her.

Of course, the hard work of the morning was not without gain, and I still got a lot of clues.

The name of the daytime wraith is Claire, and the reason for her transformation into a wraith is most likely related to the owner of the White Orchard.

Claire is a good friend of Tomera's, and maybe she knows what's going on.

But when things got to this point, Tomyra went to Kylemohan, and without the sorceress's portal, they couldn't ask the herbalist in person.

Unfortunately, the sorceress didn't happen to be around.

"What are you going to do without me?"

Emily's mantra was a prophecy, and Huck really couldn't do anything without her.

Fortunately, there is another clue, the baron related to this matter, who happened to meet him.

The young witcher was curious about this nobleman with a mixed reputation, so he came here.

He had just walked up the hill, and before he could take a breath, he heard a sound in the grass beside the road.

Huck wasn't surprised, his supersensory abilities had already allowed him to spot these humans hiding in the grass.

A blonde man in a dirty, shabby blue-and-white uniform and standard armor covered in dimples and scratches rose from the thick grass and walked straight for the witcher.

He was followed by two men, their clothes were full of bells and whistles, and the armor on their bodies was also miscellaneous, and they looked like they were patched together.

"Hack the Witcher?"

The blonde man walked up to Huck and looked him up and down for a moment before asking.

"It's me!"

"You're coming alone?"

"What do you say?" The witcher spread his hands and asked a rhetorical question.

His horse was left at the farmer's house at the bottom of the mountain, and he did walk alone.

"Your weapons must be kept by us, and you will have to wear a blindfold to do so..."

Before the blonde man could finish his words, he was stunned to see the witcher turn around and walk back, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"You, where are you going?"

"My weapons never leave me, if you want to hand over the weapons, your commission, I have no choice but to help!"

"You~" Hearing this, the man's face instantly became a little ugly, and a trace of gloom and fierceness flashed in his eyes, "Have you figured out who you're talking to?" ”

Huck smiled, stopped, turned to look at him and asked, "So, who am I talking to?" ”

The blonde man saw that the witcher was soft, and his face suddenly showed smugness, he straightened his chest, and with a condescending look, he said with a proud face:

"Standing in front of you is Knight Smith Kirk, the captain of the White Orchard Guard, speaking to you on behalf of Baron Ignatius Verrires, the owner of the White Orchard and its surrounding lands."

"So what?"

The witcher looked at the knight with a funny expression, if it was before Temeria's destruction, he would have some scruples, now...

"If you don't obey the order, you are challenging the majesty of the lord, and you will be punished" Seeing the witcher's nonchalant look, Smith's gaze turned cold.

His hand touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the two behind him simply pulled out their weapons.

"I warn you, mutants, it's better to be honest and obedient, I've killed a lot of people like you!"

"Huh?" Hearing the man's threatening words, Huck was stunned for a moment, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and the words of the revenant Sauter under the sword came to mind.

Captain Smith?

The owner of the silver sword in the storage space died at the hands of this guy.

If I have the chance, I don't mind avenging my peers~

Of course, it's best not to do this until you have to!

It seems that asking the baron is no longer going to work!

Huck sighed inwardly, he would never put his life in the hands of a group of desperate men.

Who knows, what will happen when I hand over my weapon and put on my blindfold again.

The witcher glanced coldly at the three of them, didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"You're so bold~"

Smith, who was slapped in the face on the spot, could no longer control his anger, and angrily drew his long sword and was about to rush forward.

"Stop~"

A sudden roar made the captain of the guard stop his pace, and he stared at the witcher fiercely before he reluctantly inserted his sword back into the scabbard.

It was a man in a gray cloak who shouted, and when he appeared, Smith knew immediately that he had no chance to teach the hateful mutants a lesson for the time being.

As soon as the man appeared, Huck recognized him as the man whom the god had mysteriously told the boy to deliver a letter to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, don't be angry, Mr. Witcher!"

The man walked briskly over to the men, took off his hood, and revealed a lanky horse's face.

"I am **Co Lamin, the baron's butler, and I have been ordered to pick you up and take you to your lordship."

**Ke has a two-handed, eight-figure mustache, and the clothes under the cloak are of high-end material, although there are some damages, but they are still smooth, and he is obviously a person who usually pays attention to appearance.

He was polite and well-dressed, which was very consistent with his status as a housekeeper.

"I repeat, I will neither hand over my weapons nor blindfold ..."

Huck repeated his position word for word, but he sneered inwardly.

With his super sensing ability, he already knew that this guy was also hiding behind a tree, watching the situation develop, and only when he was about to leave did he stand up.

Red face and black face, they all sing well.

"It's okay, Sir doesn't know you, so he asks for this.

Listen to your accent, it should be from Kodwin, the Nilfgaard people are our common enemy, and I'm sure you can understand Captain Smith's caution as well.

Mr. Witcher, please don't mind Sir Justice's rudeness, Lord Baron is waiting for you! ”

Seeing the butler respectfully make a gesture of please, Huck hesitated for a moment, but walked over anyway.
