"200 kroner, we'll help you get rid of the ghouls in the sawmill!"

Seeing the two fingers stretched out by the witcher, Captain Pete's face turned a little black, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it too expensive?" I've heard that a ghoul costs only 20 crowns. ”

"You're right, it's true that a ghoul is 20 crowns, the problem is that in addition to 5 normal ghouls, there is also a giant ghoul."

Huck pointed to the man who had been killed by the ghoul and said, "Ordinary ghouls are so powerful, and you can imagine how strong the giant ghouls are, right?" ”

"Even so, it's still a little too expensive, and the price of one is more than five..."

"I'd rather deal with 10 normal ghouls than 5 ghouls led by giant ghouls, because the latter is an army."

"Mr. Witcher, can you lower the price a little, it's too expensive!"

"Your timber is expensive, how much do you lose in a day when you stop working?

Do you know that the few minutes of bargaining with me now are likely to result in the death of the workers trapped in the sawmill, how much is the life of these people worth?

If you think about it, do you really think 200 CZK is expensive? ”

Captain Pete was stunned when he heard the witcher's words, and then he saw the strange eyes of the workers around him, and the woman who was no longer struggling in the distance, but stared straight at him.

"Well, I agreed," he gritted his teeth, and finally spoke, "200 crowns, just 200 crowns, I hope that the two witchers can destroy the monsters as soon as possible and save the trapped workers." ”

"My principle is to take half of the deposit first" Huck smiled, he was still very sure that the other party would accept the offer, "100 kroner, thank you!" ”。

Captain Pete was also very simple, and immediately took out a bag of gold coins and handed it over.

Twenty minutes later, led by the captain, the witchers came to the outside of the sawmill.

Standing on a hillside at a safe distance, the two witchers began to observe the situation inside.

The sawmill is deep into the forest, covering an area of great land, but there is only one main road in and out, and when it is close to the woodmill, a wooden fence of more than ten meters has been built on both sides of the road.

The wooden fence extends to both sides at the entrance, enclosing the entire sawmill, and while it may seem defensive, it is clearly not enough to deal with ghouls.

"Why don't you clear out all the big trees around the building, like the one in front of you?"

Geralt pointed to the front position, close to the 20-meter area, and turned to look at the captain and asked.

The area is bare, with only stumps remaining, and it looks particularly abrupt in the leafy forest.

"I was going to do this," Pete smiled bitterly, his face frustrated, "I thought there were too many beasts in the forest, and I wanted to make a safe area, but..."

The captain paused for a moment, swallowed back the words that had almost come out of his mouth, and hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"Some people thought it was too hot to have no shade, so they had to stop shortly after the clean-up began..."

This kind of thing is most likely related to the nobles, and the demon hunters did not continue to ask.

"There's a cemetery nearby?" Noticing that the ghoul was acting strangely, after a moment of closer observation, Geralt suddenly asked in surprise.

Hearing the white wolf's slightly surprised voice, Huck hurriedly looked in the direction of his gaze, and sure enough, on a field of wild grass less than 20 meters away from the village, he saw several simple wooden tombstones.

"There was an accident a few days ago, a wooden house was crushed by a big tree, and five workers who were resting in it were killed, so we buried them nearby."

"If nothing else, you should be buried very shallowly" Listening to the captain's words, Huck immediately cleared his mind.

"The smell of rotting carcasses that have been dug out by wild dogs is strong, and it can be clearly heard from a distance of 100 meters, which is a fatal temptation for ghouls.

So, maybe these uninvited guests weren't originally coming for the elk! ”

The captain's face turned pale, and he regretted a little, he shouldn't have been so hasty that day.

"That's right, 1 giant ghoul, 5 ghouls."

Standing on a large 2-meter-high rock on the high ground, after carefully searching the entire sawmill, the white wolf determined the situation inside the sawmill.

He jumped lightly, jumped down from the stone, and landed in front of the captain: "Don't follow, just wait for us here." ”

When he had finished speaking, the white wolf beckoned Huck and went down the hill, onto the main road, and continued towards the sawmill.

The two of them walked less than 100 meters, and suddenly found a bloody severed hand on the weedy field in the middle of the road.

Moving on, there was a large amount of blood on the ground and obvious traces of the corpse dragging, looking like a fleeing villager who was chased and slaughtered.

By the time we got closer to the woodworking mill, the ghouls' roars and the whimpering of tearing and devouring the flesh of corpses were audible.

"What I just told you is all about the actual combat experience of giant ghouls, do you remember clearly?"

After hiding behind a pile of logs and carefully confirming that the giant ghoul in the sawmill was not a xenomorph, Geralt explained to Huck in detail what to look out for when dealing with this monster.

Through the daytime battle of the Wils, he showed the young Demon Hunter the difference between book knowledge and actual combat.

After discovering that the young witcher had a solid theoretical knowledge, the white wolf no longer studied the theory, but directly passed on the experience he had gained in actual combat.

"Remembered." Huck nodded, and as he spoke, he carefully smeared the corpse-eating bio-oil on top of the silver sword.

"I'm in charge of a few other ordinary ghouls, is there a problem with you getting the giant ghouls?"

Geralt applied the sword oil and expertly put on the Quinn shield.

He looked over the monsters and went over the plan in his mind before turning to Huck and asking.

Seeing that the other party also put on a shield, and nodded in a gesture, he stepped out.

A ghoul that met him head-on was stunned when he suddenly noticed a human coming out of the back of the building.

There seemed to be some confusion in the minds of those who were not smart enough, and they didn't understand why the humans in front of them not only did not scream and run away, but took the initiative to rush up.

The doubt didn't last a few seconds, and the immense thirst for flesh and blood put it at ease.

The monster crouched down, its black nails clasped to the ground, its greedy eyes staring at the prey in front of it, and its thick black blood basin cracked open to the base of its ears, revealing a mouth full of yellowed rotten teeth.

It didn't attack right away, but let out a roar, waking up its companions before moving forward.

Hearing the sound of the warning, the other ghouls stopped their movements and turned their fierce gazes.

In the same way as the last time Huck exterminated the water ghosts, as the giant ghoul whose size and color were clearly different from other monsters roared, they all gave up the food on the ground and gathered around the demon hunter together.
