The sky is full of red clouds and white clouds.

The fiery clouds on the horizon are connected together, and from time to time they transform into various forms, like a painting.

As the sun set, Huck followed the road east, alone again to the south of the crossroads, near the village at the foot of the mountain.

Yesterday when he went to the camp in the woods, he left his horses in a farmer's house in this village before going up the mountain.

Today, he plans to leave his horses here and go treasure hunting.

The crisis at the sawmill was lifted, and the two did not stay long after receiving the balance of the bounty.

The workers who returned to the sawmill were overjoyed, but their lives were full of joys and sorrows.

Happily, the crisis has finally been lifted and we can continue to work.

The worry is that relatives and friends have been killed, and even the corpses have been torn apart, and they can't even piece together a complete body.

The witchers had left in a state of bitter tears, and for them, such scenes were no longer strange and commonplace.

Eight people were killed in the ghoul attack, but six young people survived despite their injuries.

After retrieving the horse, seeing that it was still early, Huck decided to go on a treasure hunt.

Hearing the news that the young demon hunter actually believed hearsay, Geralt was speechless, and he didn't stop him when he saw that the other party's interest was so high.

Of course, as a demon hunter who prides himself on having a mind and determination, and can always stay sober and sane, he naturally won't accompany Huck to play any scavenger hunts.

There are countless legends of various treasures circulating in the mainland, and the related treasure maps are even more rotten on the street, and no one will take them seriously, of course, the hot-blooded young people who have just debuted are not among them.

Young people should suffer more losses in order to have a long memory!

This is what the white wolf really thinks in his heart when he looks at the back of the witcher who is walking away.

Huck didn't know what Geralt was thinking behind him, and he was just a little nervous and uneasy in the face of the uncertainty of the outcome of the treasure hunt.

If there is no treasure in the place of memory, then the young witcher will be very hurt, because it means that one of the great advantages of crossing is gone.

The ruins of the castle were built on a cliff, next to the main road, and it was the same red-brick castle that I had seen yesterday from the crossroads on the hill.

When the witcher sees the collapsed red brick ruins in the grass on both sides of the road, it means that the castle is in sight.

Glancing up at the ruins of towers on the cliffs on the right side of the road, he continued on, preparing to head to the village where the horses had been kept yesterday.

On both sides of the road, you can see large and small red brick components, all of which have fallen from the cliffs, some are broken on the top of the tower, some are the entire guard wall...

Red walls and white mud, barren grass and fields, insects and birds, black wood and scorched earth...

The witcher, who was immersed in admiring the desolate and decadent scenery of this desolate and devastated place, with an alternate sense of historical heaviness, suddenly stopped.

Turning around an upside-down half-section of the tower, you are greeted by a smoky ruin.

This is where he had kept his horses yesterday, and the small courtyard and wooden house that were still alive yesterday have been reduced to scorched earth.

Playful children were lying in pools of blood on the ground, good mothers were lying beside them, and hardworking fathers were hanging from the plum tree in the courtyard.

All the good things of yesterday turned into clouds of smoke overnight, and the sight in front of him made the witcher's eyes red and angry.

He didn't go there immediately, but used his psychic ability to check the surroundings, and after making sure that no one was lurking around, he tied his horse to a tree outside the courtyard and walked in on his own.

The yard was full of footprints, and in addition to the owner, many people came, and judging by the size and depth of the footprints, all of them were men in the prime of life, most likely wearing armor.

The child and the woman were out of breath, and the fatal wounds came from the crossbow arrows in the back, and it seemed that the perpetrators had deliberately let them run away and then shot them from behind as entertainment.

The man was hanged, and looking at his eyes wide open and his face was painful, it is likely that he was executed after seeing his wife and children killed.

A dagger pinned a piece of parchment to his chest was an announcement to warn others.

[It has been found that the Aldo Pinault family once helped the lackeys of the Nilfgaard people, a witcher named Huck.

All acts of helping the enemy are treason and cannot be tolerated.

Baron Ignatius Verrires, owner of the White Orchard and its surrounding lands, found the Pinault family guilty.

Pino and four others were sentenced to death for treason, and they were immediately executed.

All the people of Temeria are expected to set an example and keep themselves clean, and any act of financing or aiding the enemy will be punished as treason and punished.

--Lord of the White Orchard and its surrounding lands, Baron Ignatius Villeres]

Putting the man down, placing himself with his wife and children, looking at the four corpses in front of him, the witcher was furious, and the uncontrollable evil fire burned in his chest.

Huck would never have imagined that such a trivial matter as depositing horses would affect an innocent family of four.

It seems that the baron is really crazy!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he found a shovel, dug a deep pit in the courtyard, and buried all four corpses in it.

After filling it with soil, he stood still for a moment and silently apologized in his heart.

He didn't erect a tombstone, not wanting their bodies to be disturbed, and after looking around again, the witcher quietly led his horse towards the ruins of the castle.

New hatred and old hatred were added to it, and Huck silently remembered it in his heart.

Tethered his horse to a hidden spot beneath the cliff, the witcher unleashed the fog with the help of the drifting mist.

Stealth, Huck circled the cliff before finally finding his way up.

To be precise, this is not a road, but a toppled tower that sloes over a cliff to form a slope that can be climbed up and down.

The original access road of the castle has sunk into a deep ditch, and only this "slope", which is less than 2 meters wide, can go up and down.

Looking up from below, several robbers can be seen watching the road from the top of the cliff.

Without stealth, it would be almost impossible to evade the sentry and ascend to the top of the cliff.

Follow the 'slope' upwards and climb the rocks that block the way, and you will come to a small platform covered with grass.

There is a deep trench between the small platform and the main building, which needs to be crossed by a plank, which is then received on the other side.

Looking at the moat in front of him, the demon hunter sighed in his heart, this place is indeed an excellent hiding place for small gangs.

Estimating the distance between the two sides, he took a deep breath and, after running a few meters, jumped out and jumped to the opposite side.

The sound of the landing alarmed a robber not far away, and he looked down, but saw nothing unusual, and then retracted his head.

Huck waited for a moment, then jumped on the spot again, grabbed the edge of the wall, and climbed up with a scream of his arms.

When his feet landed on the ground, the entire ruins of the castle were fully revealed, waiting for the witcher to explore like an unguarded girl.
