Chapter 183: The Beginning of the Hunt (4)
"You must remember that this is very important to you in the future, there are many types of demons, and their abilities are also different, every time you want to contact demons, you must start from other places first, and try to learn as much useful information as possible, unless you are strong enough, you can naturally ignore these and avoid a lot of trouble. ”
After giving Aaron clear instructions, Geralt emphasized some things very seriously.
"Well, I remembered the teacher. Aaron nodded, "I'll go and ask the villagers about the situation now...... and he left the cabin again.
Walking out of the cabin, Aaron looked up at the sky, it was not early at this time, it was estimated that it would be more than two hours later, and it would be night, once it was night, it would be more troublesome, and he would have to wait for tomorrow to continue.
The remaining time is obviously not enough for Aaron, but during this period, it is better to talk about how much than nothing.
Next, Aaron seized the time to visit the villagers and ask them about the situation.
Before I knew it, it was completely dark, and most of the villagers here went to bed early, so Aaron had to return to the cabin and visit again tomorrow.
"Did you hear anything this time?" said Geralt's voice as he returned to the cabin.
Hearing this, Aaron frowned slightly and shook his head: "I inquired with a few households, but I didn't hear anything strange, and now most of the villagers are asleep, and I plan to wait until tomorrow to continue." ”
"Well, it's normal to not get anything at first, don't be impatient, and you have to be careful to mingle with the villagers, so there may be a windfall. Geralt said unhurriedly.
"I see!" Aaron understood what Geralt meant, and he did.
Because an outsider suddenly came to visit. Then ask some weird questions, and even if people know about it, most of them won't say it.
Only if you gain the favor of the other party, then the chance of gaining will be greater, if you just go over to ask for a word, and do nothing else. Most of the time is just a waste of time.
The long night passed in a flash, ushering in the early morning of the next day.
Aaron waited about the same time, then left the hut and went again to chat with the villagers and inquire about the situation.
While chatting with the name of the village, Aaron also observed from time to time, hoping to find some useful clues, or cut into the door.
It's boring, but it's a very important step for Aaron.
He's still quite weak. In the face of such a dangerous creature as a demon, you must be very cautious and not sloppy at all, and these preparations and listening in advance are effective ways to avoid risks, and they have to be done.
As time went on, another two days passed.
In the past two days, Aaron has visited almost every family and talked a few words to some extent. The people in the village have a little impression of him, and most of them will say hello when they meet.
And today. Aaron noticed a detail, there are quite a few villagers here, during the day, they seem to have little energy, yawning from time to time, and a listless expression on their faces.
This phenomenon. If it was just one or two people, it wouldn't have caught Aaron's attention, but nearly a quarter of them did, and it had to be strange.
After noticing this phenomenon, Aaron immediately consulted the villagers.
This inquire. Aaron finally got something, and several villagers reported that it was a problem that had been going on for several years, and that those who seemed to be fine now had this kind of poor mental condition all day before.
Once this situation occurs, it usually lasts for a month, and then it will return to normal, and there will be no special problems after that.
The villagers here don't seem to pay much attention to this as a minor disease, and are used to the occasional situation.
Later, Aaron visited many villagers and learned from them that there would be no warning at all until this happened, and sometimes he would wake up at night.
After learning about this, Aaron immediately returned to the cabin, intending to report to Geralt.
"Did you get something out of coming back so early today?" Two days ago, Aaron came back after dark, but today he came back not long after noon, and he had already guessed something.
"Teacher, after my observation for the past two days, I have found ......" Aaron found a chair, sat down, and told Geralt what he had learned face to face.
"Teacher, I think the reason why those villagers are not in a state of mind should have something to do with the demons in the swamp, do you have any other opinions?" After saying the matter, Aaron analyzed his opinion again.
"Yes, I finally found a breakthrough, but what to do next, I won't tell you, you think about what to do next, don't come to me for advice on everything, I'm just your guide, and then you have to deal with your own affairs, and in the future, you have to judge by yourself......"
Geralt nodded, just affirming Aaron's opinion, although he knew the details of the demon from beginning to end, he didn't give any hints.
Geralt's purpose was to teach Aaron how to hunt demons, and everything else was up to him, and he had no intention of helping himself.
Aaron had to use his own brain, not rely on Geralt's prompts, only then could he truly learn how to hunt demons.
After Geralt finished speaking, he asked Aaron to find a place to think, while he continued to close his eyes and seem to be thinking about something.
Next, Aaron did it alone in the corner, carefully recalling what he had heard today, sorting out and analyzing it, and determining what to do next.
"Before the villagers showed this condition, there was nothing abnormal, but it became like this overnight, which means that the problem happened suddenly, and most likely at night......" Aaron thought as he put his hand on his chin.
After thinking about it for a while, Aaron decided not to stay in the cabin at night from today, but to observe outside and see if he could find anything more.
From the information I learned today, after comprehensive analysis, I should be able to gain something when I come out at night.
After thinking clearly, Aaron stood up and walked out of the cabin...... (To be continued......)
