Chapter 182: The Beginning of the Hunt (3)

"On the plane of this watch, there are two different scales, as you can see, the innermost circle, which corresponds to the short pointer, represents the strength of the detected demon. ”

"As for the outermost circle, the scale corresponds to the long hands, which represent the position of the demon. Geralt pointed to the scales and hands on the watch as he explained the role of the pocket watch.

After listening to Geralt's explanation, Aaron roughly knew what was going on, but at this time, the long pointer had been rotating slowly, making him a little puzzled, and he didn't know what this meant: "Teacher Geralt, what is the matter with the pointer being rotating?"

"This long pointer, if it keeps rotating, means that there is a demon nearby, but it is a bit far away, and the exact location cannot be determined. Geralt explained.

"If you don't know the location, what should you do?" Aaron asked.

"You go around and check on yourself, and if the pointer rotates slowly, it means that you are closer to the demon, until finally the pointer stops rotating and points in a direction, which is where the demon is. Geralt explained unhurriedly.

"With all that said, you know what to do now, hurry up and find the location of the prey......" After saying the matter of the pocket watch, Geralt told Aaron to hurry up and start looking for the prey.

When Aaron heard this, he didn't go out immediately, but said with a smile: "Teacher, I'll go out like this, if I meet a demon, it won't happen, shouldn't you, should you give something that can save your life?"

Looking at Geralt's appearance, he definitely wouldn't go with him to find the demon, but just let Aaron go alone, which made him a little worried.

Geralt then shook his chair and replied with a blank face, "No, I'll just go if I tell you to go." I won't let you die, don't worry......"

Seeing this, Aaron sighed helplessly, and then walked out of the cabin honestly.

Out of the cabin, Aaron held his pocket watch and walked in a random direction. From time to time, keep an eye on the pocket watch to see if there are any changes.

Aaron wandered around the village, and soon walked through the whole village, but the long hands on the pocket watch remained the same as before.

"Looks like we've got to look outside the village!" Aaron touched his chin and thought about how to look outside and farther away.

Soon, Aaron was out of the village. I chose a random direction and went straight.

Time flies, and before you know it, Aaron has been out for hours, and Aaron has a disappointed look on his face and is ready to return to Geralt.

However, just as Aaron was about to turn around and walk back, the pocket watch in his hand suddenly changed.

The long hand suddenly slowed down a bit. Although it is not very different from before, Aaron can still tell it. It does spin a little slower.

As soon as he noticed this change, Aaron's eyes lit up, and he immediately dispelled the previous idea of returning the same way, and continued to walk forward.

As Aaron walked farther forward, the rotation of the long hand slowed down until it swayed within a fan-shaped arc.

"It should be this way!" saw the change at this time. Aaron was basically certain that the demon's range was within the direction of the area the pointer was pointing to.

Following the direction of his pocket watch, Aaron continued to move forward. Eventually, they came to the outskirts of a muddy swamp.

At this time, Aaron was standing in the outer area of the swamp, and the ground under his feet became soft and had a tendency to sink downward, and it was estimated that his whole foot would sink if he went some further distance.

Aaron just stood where he was, looking around, and saw that the swamp was quiet, there was no sound, and the silence was eerily strange.

Aaron looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and by this time the long hands were no longer swinging, but pointing in a certain direction, indicating that the demon was somewhere in the swamp.

Although he knew that the demon was in the swamp, Aaron didn't have the idea of entering it at all, Geralt just meant to look for it, and now that he had found it, before getting further hints, Aaron didn't want to rush into contact with the demon, safety was the first thing.

"Now it's time to go back on an errand!" Aaron glanced at his pocket watch, then put it away, turned around, and turned back the way he came, leaving the vicinity of the swamp.

It took a long time to search, but it was much quicker to return, and in less than an hour, Aaron was back in the cabin.

"How is it, after going for so long, have you found your prey?" Seeing that Aaron had just opened the door and walked in, Geralt immediately asked how the matter was done.

"Teacher, live up to your expectations, I have found the location of the demon, just outside the village to the southwest, there is a swamp about a dozen miles away, and the demon is in that swamp. Having found the location of the demon, Aaron replied with confidence.

"Did you go into the swamp then?" Geralt said, nodding with a little satisfaction.

When Aaron heard this, he immediately shook his head: "No, I only wandered around the swamp for a while, and I didn't dare to go in, didn't you just tell me to find the location of the prey?"

"Well, your caution is correct, and you must remember in the future that when you don't know what the situation is, don't come into contact with the demon. Geralt nodded earnestly.

"I understand the teacher, now that we know the location of the demon, what should we do next?" Aaron asked with a nod of his head.

Geralt smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think should be done next?"

Aaron thought for a moment, then said, "I think the next step is to find out the information about the demon first. ”

"Now that you know what to do, why don't you hurry up and find out the information!" Geralt said, nodding his head.

"Uh...... Teacher, where should I start, why should you give me some hints!" Aaron was a little speechless, Geralt didn't give any hints, he didn't know where to start.

"Know more about your brains, didn't I tell you a lot about demons before, demons trick other creatures into selling their souls, and there is such a village around here, and its target must be here. ”

"Since the demon is targeting this place, you should ask the villagers about some things and observe if there is anything unusual in the village, and you can learn something about it......" (To be continued......
