Chapter 180: The Beginning of the Hunt (1)

"Teacher Geralt, that little demon set a trap for those mages because our souls are much stronger than ordinary people, and the purpose of its doing so is to gain some kind of benefit from the mage's souls?"

Hearing Geralt talk about souls, Aaron vaguely guessed something.

"To be precise, the little demon is planning to make the mage sell his soul first, and then devour their soul in order to make himself stronger. Geralt nodded lightly and explained.

"Teacher, what did you mean by selling your soul? I don't quite understand what that means. After listening to this, Aaron only understood half of it, and it was easy to understand the idea of devouring souls, but it was not so much about selling souls.

"Selling one's soul is actually a means of bewitchment, and it achieves some kind of special ritual with it, and if a demon wants to devour someone's soul, he must first let that person sell his soul, which is equivalent to a mysterious rule, and demons must follow this rule, otherwise they can't directly devour souls. ”

"I say that, you should understand!" Geralt said, looking at Aaron again.

"I see. After hearing this, Aaron finally understood, and then asked, "Teacher Geralt, there are many souls who have not sold their souls, and our souls will be protected in some way, so that the demons will not be able to make a move. Or is there something important missing after selling your soul?"

"Your question is stumped for me, I don't know the rules about the soul for the time being, and I can't answer your question, but what you said is indeed possible. ”

Geralt himself could not give an answer to Aaron's question.

After walking for a long time, the sky completely darkened. Geralt and Aaron just slept in the wilderness.

A campfire burned on the ground, and the light of the fire shone on Aaron's face.

Geralt was closing his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Geralt's eyes snapped open, and his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. Then he looked at Aaron and said, "Put out the bonfire, come with me at once, I already have a thought of where to go." With that, Geralt stood up.

When Aaron heard this, he immediately stood up, quickly extinguished the bonfire, and then followed Geralt in a certain direction.

followed Geralt on the road for two days in a row. They came to a small village.

The area around the village is somewhat desolate, and there is no other place for humans than the current village within a radius of dozens of miles.

Moreover, this village is not very large, about 200 households, and the total population is only nearly 1,000 people.

"Aaron, you go find a family to spend the night, and then we will stay here for at least a few days. "Walk into the village. Geralt grabbed a large rock and sat down. He commanded Aaron.

"What, how many days will you stay here?" Aaron couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"What are you still doing in a daze, do you want me to go and talk about the overnight stay in person? Speed up for me. Seeing that Aaron was stunned, Geralt immediately urged.

"Oh... Oh...... I'll go now!"

Aaron wondered why Geralt had settled in such a remote village. But he didn't ask much, and immediately did as he was told.

After talking to some of the villagers in the village for a long time, Aaron spent some gold coins and finally borrowed a small vacant house from a family as a place to stay.

After that, Aaron hurried back to report to Geralt: "Teacher. I've got a place to stay, are we going to live in it now?"

"Hmm. Geralt nodded, and continued, "Let's go, take me to the place where I'm going to stay tonight......"

Next, Aaron took Geralt to the outside of the borrowed cabin, and then used the key given by the villager to unlock the door and push the wooden door open.

As soon as the door opened, a burst of dust rushed to his face, and Aaron couldn't help but wave his hand a few times at his nose.

The small cabin was covered with dust, with large patches of spider silk in the corners, and a layer of dust accumulated on a few simple pieces of furniture, and it looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time.

"There's a lot of dust, you clean up here first, or you won't be able to live there. Seeing the dust all over the room, Geralt frowned, walked out of the cabin, and said to Aaron.

Aaron complied with Geralt's instructions and turned into a janitor, but fortunately, he was a mage and had a way to clean it up quickly.

After a few minutes or so, Aaron cleared the cabin and made it relatively clean.

After the cabin was cleaned, Geralt walked in, found a rocking chair and sat down, and then crossed Erlang's legs, and shook very leisurely.

"Teacher Geralt, can you tell me what the hell you're doing here?"

Geralt replied as he continued to shake his chair back and forth, "Come here to hunt!"

"Hunting?" Aaron asked, "What are we going to hunt?"

Aaron couldn't think of anything to hunt in such a small remote village.

"Demon hunting, of course!" Geralt replied with a blank expression.

"Is there a demon in this place?" Aaron said, somewhat surprised.

"That's right, there are demons here, that's why I came here to hunt. Geralt nodded.

After hearing this, Aaron's eyes rolled, and then he asked, "Teacher Geralt, when are you going to catch that demon?"

Geralt stopped shaking his chair, sat up straight, and looked at Aaron with a smile: "You are wrong, it's not me who does it, but you who do it, this time I brought you to hunt demons, not me to hunt demons, understand?"

"Hah, Mr. Geralt, you're not joking, I don't understand anything, is this really okay?" Aaron was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted with a look of surprise.

After Geralt's previous introduction to demons, Aaron's impression of demons is that they are powerful and evil, and now that he wants to hunt demons by himself, he can't help but feel worried.

"What are you worried about? I didn't let you die, it's no problem, and what I'm going to teach is how to hunt demons, which is the key to whether you can kill Count Dracula in fifty years. Seeing Aaron's worried look, Geralt smiled.

"Uh...... What does this demon hunting have to do with whether I can kill Count Dracula in the future?" (To be continued......)
