48. Ask my sword first

Inside the tent, the atmosphere was a little tense.

"You know our principles, only responsible for eradicating monsters, but not politics."

Huck didn't expect this to be known to Ignasius, it seems that someone is watching, no wonder the bearded butler wants to come back early.

"I know, so I'm not going to blame you, but as a northerner, I want you to do something for your country."

Hearing this, the Demon Hunter sneered, he didn't think it was as simple as making a difference.

"Your Excellency, you may wish to make it clear, but before I do that, I want to make it clear that we do not take on tasks that have nothing to do with monsters."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't embarrass you.

My request is simple, all I need is for you to hide from the Nilfgaard and help us destroy the Banshees of the Mill. ”

"Oh!" When Huck heard this, he immediately understood the other party's plan, "It seems that Lord Baron is interested in those two barns!" ”

"You're smart, yes, I'm just as much of a Nilfgaard as the people of Nilfgaard, and I want the grain in the barn."

The witcher guessed the reason at once, much to the Baron's surprise, but not too surprised.

"It's not that easy to deal with the banshee, I need to know what's going on in the mill, and I'm sure the Baron will satisfy my curiosity, right?"

The young witcher didn't seem to care too much about who got the food, but more obsessed with the task, which made Ignatius feel a lot more at ease.

"No problem," he nodded dryly, and looked up at the door, "Sir, you come and tell Mr. Witcher what happened that day." ”

"Yes, my lord."

The captain of the guard respectfully agreed, walked over quickly, and sat down on the stool across from Huck.

"So, what do you want to know?" Once seated, Smith's eyes turned to the witcher.

"Start with why you want to go to the mill and tell in detail what happened next, otherwise, I can't be sure how to destroy the banshee."

Smith began the narrative after a moment's thought:

"That night, we got the exact information that a witch named Claire was preparing to perform an evil summoning ritual in Hover.

This ritual will summon demons from another world, and once the bloodthirsty and crazy demons are summoned to the White Fruit Garden, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Seeing that the other party was serious and serious, Huck almost believed it.

"Wait," he called out to the captain of the guard, taking out the healer's badge in his bag and placing it on the table, "she's a doctor, how did she become a witch?" ”

"Yes," Smith said affirmatively and firmly, without even looking at the badge, "she claims to be a physician to the outside world, but in fact she is a witch who does all kinds of evil." ”

"Well, well, you go ahead." The witcher froze for a moment, silently withdrew his badge, and made a gesture asking to continue.

"When we got there, we found that things were at their most critical.

The witch seduced the mill workers and degraded everyone, and they were performing a ritual that was about to be completed...

Under the wise leadership of our lords, we interrupted the witch's summoning ritual and managed to prevent a catastrophe..."

"Ahem~, sir, I want to know the details, the details of the whole incident~"

"That's the details, we hanged witches, executed fallen workers, and prevented a catastrophe..."

Huck touched his forehead helplessly, looked at the baron, and found that the other party was expressionless, just in a daze, and could not see anything unusual.

He had no choice but to look at the captain of the guard on the other side again, trying to try harder.

"Do you recall that at that time there was anything special found in the female physician, well, the witch?

For example, rings, jewelry, bracelets, and the like.

Anyway, it's something that witches cherish or value very much! ”

"No," Smith shook his head, unusually affirmative, "didn't see anything." ”

"Okay!" The witcher sighed and turned his gaze to the baron, "The lord was also there at the time, so did you find anything?" ”

Ignatius didn't know what he was thinking, he was in a daze, and it took a while to come to his senses, and the witcher was asking himself.

"Nothing was found, and Sir was very detailed."

Huck noticed that the baron had a strange expression when he said this, as if he had been evoked some kind of bad memory, and his expression was a little sad.

At the same time, his hand unconsciously grasped a pendant hanging from his chest and stroked it gently.

The pendant is a silvery-white lily flower, very finely carved, but the strange flower is not complete, only the right half.

"So, do you know anyone else who has a better relationship with this Claire?"

"I don't know!" Both shook their heads at the same time.

It seems that this time I will go back empty-handed!

Huck barely had to think about it to know that there was something strange about what Smith was told, but the other party didn't cooperate, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing the knight's serious nonsense, he was also helpless.

"Well, Lord Baron, in that case, I can only tell you that I can't deal with the banshee for the time being, and I'll have to go back and find a way..."

"Mr. Witcher, in order to prevent accidents, I don't think it is better to stay with us for the time being, write a letter to the white wolf, and ask him to cooperate with our people to complete the mission.

When the mission is completed, you leave and you will be paid 1,000 crowns, what do you think? ”

Before Huck could finish speaking, a voice interrupted him, and it was none other than the butler who had been standing behind the baron, without saying a word.

Really!

These guys don't have a good heart!

The witcher, who had a premonition, turned his head to look at the man and pretended to be curious and asked, "Why?" ”

"After all, it's still at war, and we also want to prevent you from tipping off the Nilfgaard people, which is also an insurance, I hope you understand."

Sodenko had a smile on his face and a kind face, not in the slightest as if he was about to force someone.

"You're going to imprison me?" Huck suddenly laughed, and he turned to look at Ignatius, "Lord Baron, is that what you mean?" ”

"Yes, that's what I mean, you can't go there until your companion has completed his mission."

Seeing that there had been a showdown, the baron was no longer secretive, he looked at the witcher with a gloomy face, and continued word by word:

"Now, hand over your weapons and be honest..."

"Looks like you've already planned it," Huck interrupted the baron and sneered, "You didn't come to me to deal with the banshee, but to use me to blackmail Geralt, right?" ”

"I told you a long time ago, be careful!" Smith smirked and stood up, drawing his sword, "Now, hand over your weapon..."

"Hand it over to your mother~" The witcher stood up abruptly, casually lifted the wooden seat beside him, and smashed it into the captain of the guard who was about to jump on the table.

The other man nimbly turned to one side, dodged the seat, and then propped his hand on the table and jumped onto the table.

Bang~

Bang dang~

The seat misses its target, but it crashes into the wooden frame and falls to the ground with the silver basin.

Huck used his seat to delay his opponent, took a few steps back, and drew his steel sword.

"If you want me to comply, I'm afraid you have to ask me if I agree to the sword in my hand first!"

Seeing that a fight was about to start, the butler immediately took a few steps back and hid behind the baron without a trace.

The curtain was lifted, and several robbers rushed in with weapons.

Smith pointed at the witcher and commanded, "Take him down!" ”

As he spoke, he leaped to his feet, raised his sword, and slashed at Huck with the force of Tarzan.
