52. On the importance of the sorceress
Geralt was in a bad mood, very bad.
I didn't have a clue about the daytime banshee, and in the afternoon I searched along the river around the village for an afternoon, and I didn't even see the shadow of the buckthorn.
Cascara sagrada only grows at the bottom of the water, and to find it, you have to dive to the bottom of the river.
There is no place where the water is shallow, and the place where the water is deep is very troublesome, not only do you have to come out from time to time to ventilate, but you also have to deal with the water ghosts that suddenly appear.
There are different lands in the deep water, it is difficult to dodge and move, and the magic seal cannot be used, so you can only use a sword or crossbow.
In the water, the combat power of the water ghost is explosive, not only fast, but also extremely flexible, just like a loach.
Fortunately, there are not many water ghosts who like to swim in deep water, and when they are in groups, there are only three or two.
After a busy afternoon, I was tired and tired, and my whole body was stinky, but I didn't get anything.
His mood at this time can be imagined.
The white wolf dismounted, gave the reins of the grapes to the groom, and went to the door.
There was no sign of Huck in the stable, so he probably hadn't come back yet.
Pushing open the door, as soon as I stepped into the tavern, the heat wave immediately enveloped the hustle and bustle, and the tavern was as lively and noisy as ever.
When the witcher appeared at the door, the tavern suddenly fell silent, and the noise was strangely weakened.
The white wolf who noticed the abnormality didn't care, and this kind of thing was not the first day he saw it, and he had already been accustomed to it.
He walked to the counter and said to the landlady, "Bring me dinner to the room, and I'll take a shower first." ”
Just as Geralt was about to walk towards the wooden door that led to the backyard, a voice rang out behind him.
"Freak, did you just come out of the pit, or did you go swimming in the stinking ditch?"
It was a dark-skinned, slightly chubby guy with a pair of rather ferocious triangular eyes.
Triangle Eyes was visibly a little drunk, and he was walking left and right, and he was walking towards the witcher with bad intentions.
The white wolf stopped when he heard this, tilted his head, and decided not to meet this man in general, and he was just about to leave, but a hand was on his shoulder.
"I said, you shady fellows, aren't you like mice?
Not only do I like to drill into the stinking sewers, but I also love to roll on the garbage heap..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a burst of laughter around him, and Triangle Eyes was encouraged by the laughter, and he was even more triumphant.
The pungent smell of alcohol mixed with bad breath hit his nostrils, causing the witcher to frown, and he coldly slapped the hand on his shoulder, then turned his head.
"If you don't want to be thrown out, get away~"
Seeing the terrifying murderous aura in the cold cat's eyes, the triangular eyes trembled, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on the head.
He involuntarily took a step back, and the wine suddenly woke up for the most part, his smile froze on his face, and the words he wanted to say were blocked back.
Seeing that he was intimidated, Geralt didn't put any more pressure on him, and after coldly glancing around at the drinkers around him, he turned his head and continued to walk towards the backyard.
"Freak, die!"
A clay cup flew from behind him with the sound of the wind, and he turned his head and dodged.
Syllable~
The clay cup slammed into the wall, shattering, and the shards fell to the ground with a clatter.
"You seem to have drunk too much, go home early!"
Anger flashed across the white wolf's face, and before he could make a move, he heard a familiar voice in the doorway.
Boom~
Accompanied by a miserable howl, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded in the courtyard.
Geralt smiled and turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Huck in the tavern, and several people at the wooden table in the doorway were looking at him in horror.
Through the window, you can also see a fat-headed and big-eared guy in the yard getting up in embarrassment.
"Several, you look too drunk, do you need me to give you a ride?"
Seeing the young witcher's malicious smile and the blood stains on his clothes that had not yet had time to be washed, a few of the guys who had been talking about it just now immediately wilted.
Through the window, you can see several patrolling men in black who seem to notice the movement here and are walking over.
They did not dare to linger any longer, looked at each other, and then stood up without saying a word, and fled in disgrace.
Triangle Eye stood in place, a little confused, seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he hurriedly put the pottery cup in his hand on the bar, and then patted his head.
"Oops, I drank too much, I'm home, I'm home~"
With that, he lowered his head and quickly walked past Huck and out the door.
"You're back?" The white wolf glanced at the approaching young witcher, his eyes flickering, "All the swords lost?" It looks embarrassing~"
"Let's go, let's go in!" A tired Huck smiled bitterly and turned to look at Elsa, "Bring dinner to our room and get another bottle of Dwarven Spirits..."
"Wait a minute, two Mr. Witchers, in the afternoon, the man in black also sent a gray wolf corpse..."
Seeing the two of them turn around to leave, the proprietress suddenly remembered what happened in the afternoon and hurriedly stopped them...
Half an hour later, in the hotel room.
The two witchers sat together, slowly sipping their spirits and chatting.
On the wooden table are grilled wolf steak and wolf meat, a pot of wolf meat and vegetable soup, and a bowl of mushroom stewed wolf bones.
"Because I was worried that the dog would find me invisible, so, after turning my face, I first killed the mongrel...
When confronting them, I have been quietly moving my pace as close to the main tent as possible under the cover of adjusting my fighting posture...
Then he deliberately pretended to fall off the cliff, then let go of his hand and pretended to fall off the cliff, and after leaving their sight, he used teleportation to enter the camp...
When the search was finished, they were still clinging to the edge of the cliff.
I didn't stop doing it, I simply knocked down the candle and lit the tent.
When I opened the tent and came out from behind, the fire had not yet ignited, and no one noticed this side, so I casually lit the food and supplies in the tent next to me...
The whole time, no one noticed me..."
"So, not only have you looted thousands of gold coins, but you have also burned the baron's tent and supplies, so isn't he going crazy?"
Listening to Huck's account of what happened this afternoon, Geralt almost dropped his jaw.
The goddess is above, this is called a colorful life!
Thinking about what happened to him, he felt like the whole afternoon had been in vain.
"It's 1652 crowns, the storage space is full, otherwise I'll take it all away for him~"
He thought of the large chests in the tent, the gold and silver vessels all over the floor, and a few oil paintings by the master's hand, and his heart was full of regret.
As soon as this fire burns, the oil painting is probably out of play, and I hope that other things will have a chance to transform the fate again.
"Alright, don't be too greedy" Looking at his unfinished look, the white wolf laughed, "So, our lord, it's likely that you don't know you're still alive?" ”
"It's hard to say," Huck frowned, "I suspect someone is watching nearby, and if that's the case, the Baron should be able to get the news soon when he sees me back." ”
"If the Baron really has an immortal body, it will be very troublesome to know that you have burned his grain and grass," Geralt frowned, and said with some annoyance:
"I can't get a clue from the baron, and Tomyra is in Kellmohan, so the clues of the daytime spirits will be broken."
"Emily is here, it's fine" Huck finally discovered the importance of the sorceress, "I don't know where she is now and when she will be back~"
