Chapter 21: Voices on the Bridge

Indissoluble--

That was Xavier's first reaction, and why he didn't know how to respond at all.

Should he reply, 'I'll try, master?'?"

He didn't have the cheekiness to say such a thing.

Moreover, he also felt that this master was actually joking, wasn't he talking about evil ghosts, and suddenly brought up this kind of topic, most of which was just teasing him, just like when he talked about Liana, he didn't have to take it seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Xavier's bewildered expression, Viscount Wallace said that he was not joking, but talking about serious topics.

"You know, Xavier, every year at the Knights' Conference, there can be deaths. Viscount Wallace said very seriously, "Therefore I asked you to leave an offspring, but I am actually thinking about you. ”

"Because even if you unfortunately pass away, you, who leave a descendant, will not let your fiancée be left alone, but have the trust to survive. He said slowly.

Listening to this bitter opinion, Xavier at first seemed to have some truth, but soon realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this statement.

How do you feel, this is cursing me to death?" he thought to himself, and said in response

"But master, if I can learn from you now and improve my strength as soon as possible, I don't have to worry about these things. As long as I'm strong enough, I don't have to worry about accidents in the Knights' Conference. ”

"But you're optimistic, and who knows what is practical?" Viscount Wallace shook his head

"Because the dangers above the conference are often not what we can anticipate, you are working hard now to improve your strength in order to win the knights' conference smoothly, not to get hurt in it, and not to let your fiancée and children be supported by others in the future.

"And if there is a real accident, although you died heroically, your descendants will still carry on your bloodline, so you better listen to what I say, understand?"

"Understood," Xavier was overwhelmed by his righteousness, and Nono replied.

But in reality, he did not feel that he would listen to the Viscount's advice.

There are a few reasons for this.

First of all, he doesn't care about the preservation of the bloodline at all, if he really dies, he will only be reluctant to give up the people close to him, as for the descendants or anything, he doesn't care at all.

Secondly, is the offspring so easy to keep? Let's not talk about Caroline's only sixteen years old, even if he really becomes a beast, it is necessary to talk about luck, date, spirit, etc., are all important factors in success.

Of course, when something happens enough times, no matter how low the probability is, it will eventually happen, unless the probability is zero, that is, if Xavier tries hard, he can really meet the Viscount's requirements, but he doesn't think about it now, but takes what the Viscount says as a listen, so naturally he won't think so much.

In order to prevent the master from continuing to talk about the strange topic, Xavier changed his tone and shifted the topic to the evil ghost he had originally talked about, and asked

"Compared to this, master, I would like to ask, if you are the only one, how should you deal with the evil ghosts?"

In the process just now, although the final result was very good, successfully annihilating all the evil ghosts at once, but it took two people to carry it out, and the fire magic of the last person must have enough power to greatly annihilate the evil ghost army, and the strength of the person who went there must also be strong enough, otherwise he will not be able to retreat from the evil ghosts.

This means that it is actually quite difficult to implement, and it is difficult to complete it by one person, which is why Xavier asked such a question.

Faced with this question, Viscount Wallace did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, "What a good question, of course I have some methods, but I don't want to say it like that, why don't you make a few suggestions first?"

Obviously, I asked you a question, but how did it turn out that I answered Xavier's silent insult, but he still responded, "Well, if it were me, I would still continue to use bait tactics to lure the demons to the pre-arranged traps, and then annihilate them again." ”

"It's a pretty good idea. Viscount Wallace did not dismiss its suggestion, "But you must know that your trap must be able to cover all the evil spirits and not injure yourself, both of which are important. ”

"For example, there is a witcher's trap that has this effect, it can make a big hole for all the evil spirits to fall into, and you can also set it to open it with magic power, so you won't accidentally hurt yourself. ”

After listening to the Viscount's statement, Xavilton felt that his eyes were opened, in fact, the trap he originally referred to was just a concept, he didn't know what the trap was, he could wipe out the evil ghosts, and now what the master said to him was to directly throw a concept to him, so that he knew what to do.

Therefore, in the next moment, Xavier asked the witcher for a lesson on how to trap, and then learned from him other tricks to hunt evil ghosts alone, feeling that his knowledge of hunting evil ghosts has increased, so he naturally has to apply what he has learned and integrate his knowledge into actual combat.

The nearby demons also gradually realized that their end had come, and the grim reaper who brought them death was the black-haired swordsman, who spent several hours annihilating all the evil ghost lairs along the northern rivers, and by the way, he also slashed and killed a few stupid water ghosts, becoming a skilled witcher.

At the same time, his experience points have also increased a lot, from 422 to 498, making him understand that hunting monsters is the fastest way to level up.

~~~~~~

Twilight.

As he became more proficient in hunting, Xavier got further behind, and the faster he slashed, so it only took him a few hours to wipe out all the evil spirits.

The words of the witcher are the same as dealing with ghouls, just paddling on the side, and he didn't do anything to help, and he didn't even give much advice, because most of what he could say was said earlier.

Finally, after solving the last lair, Xavier took back the silver sword, spread it on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was very tired, of course, this fatigue refers to mental, not upward, after all, his physical strength is a very terrifying value, so that even if he is tired all day, he will not have a huge sense of fatigue.

However, even if he was a little tired, Xavier only rested for a while before setting out on his journey again, knowing that his mission with the witchers was not completely over, and that they still needed to thoroughly investigate one place, that is, the bridge in the northern river.

According to the village chief, under the bridge that crossed the water, there would be weeping from time to time, and Viscount Wallace suspected that it was the work of the demon spirit, but it was still up to the two of them to judge what exactly happened.

After resting for a while, Xavier and Viscount Wallace walked in the direction of the bridge, and they were not hindered during the process, after all, the monsters had already been killed by them, and naturally they came to their destination, the bridge, very calmly.

The bridge is made of stone, it is an arch bridge, and the mottled marks on it symbolize that it has a history, and the overall style is relatively simple, without any carving, nor any decoration, and there is only the dust left by nature, which is a relatively ordinary bridge.

But such an ordinary bridge had such strange rumors, which made Xavier frown slightly, listened carefully, and paid attention to the nearby sounds.

However, after waiting for a full few minutes, he was still not nearby, and he heard any crying.

This made him a little suspicious that it was the villagers who were talking nonsense again, but he quickly realized something, and asked Viscount Wallace, who was also thinking

"Maybe it's because we haven't stepped on the bridge yet?"

"Possibly. The viscount nodded, and asked Xavier to walk with him on the bridge.

This judgment is actually very reasonable, because the trigger conditions of the rumor may be different every time, maybe it needs to be just at a certain time, or it may need some specific people to trigger, even if the two of them do not hear the cry, it does not mean that the rumor is false.

So, they decided to try it first, and whether or not to walk on the bridge was one of the triggers.

So in the next moment, I saw Viscount Wallace and Xavier walking towards the starting point of the bridge, and Xavier's palm was also placed on the silver sword, so that he could pull it out as soon as possible.

Of course, if there is a monster, it is also a question of whether it can be harmed with the silver sword, just to add a little more courage to him.

When the two of them reached the middle of the bridge, they didn't know if they were lucky, but they seemed to sense that something was wrong nearby.

It was a cold feeling that came on suddenly.

And with it was a miserable cry, like a young girl, lamenting her misfortune, and turning her sense of kinship into Xavier's ears.

Then, those cries gradually turned into crazy laughter, with an indescribable sense of horror, so that Xavier, who heard it on the bridge, couldn't help but have chicken feather bumps.

He was well aware that it was the emotion of fear.
