At this moment, several fast horses galloped in, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves drifted high. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)
"What's going on here? What about the boy?" it was Geralt and his son who came on horseback, and he received a message from some townspeople in Maple Leaf Town, and ran over as fast as he could, but by this time Ron had been gone for a while. [Search for the latest updates.]
"Ah, that's Lord Geralt of Naka Manor......" Some sharp-eyed townsfolk spotted the man, and their eyes showed horror, in Maple Town, Geralt's notoriety was as loud as the Naka Guard.
"I just got a report that Ron was found to be back, huh? Ron?" Geralt dismounted with a gloomy face, and as soon as he arrived, he knew that Ron must have already left.
"Report to Lord Geralt, Ron just left......" said one of the townsfolk boldly.
"Hmph...... You untouchables......" Geralt was now very upset, and was about to scold a few words, when suddenly, his eyes widened sharply.
He saw Groot, who had fallen to the ground.
Geralt's heart flashed a hint of malice, he swooped over, reached out to help Groot's body, and sure enough, Groot had been out of breath for a long time.
"Groot......" Geralt shouted, almost fainting, the captain of the Naka Guard, the strongest Groot died, he actually died.
"Who...... Who did that?" said Geralt, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
The townspeople were stunned at the sight of Geralt, who had lost his temper, and no one dared to answer him.
Geralt stood up with a "rub-" and reached out to grab the collar of a townsman, staring at him with a cannibalistic gaze, and yelled, "Say, who did it?"
"Yes...... Be...... No...... I didn't do it......" The townsfolk were so frightened by the angry Geralt that they couldn't even speak.
"Say, who the hell is it?" Geralt's gaze looked as if he was about to kill, knowing that the captain of the Naka Guard, Groot, was his nephew, his own nephew.
"Yes, it's the Ron......," replied one of the townspeople.
"What?Ron?" Geralt was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he had ordered Ron to be hunted down, and he didn't expect his own people to be killed by the other party.
Geralt's blood-red eyes stared at the townsman who spoke, "You...... Are you sure ......"
"Yes...... Master Geralt, that Ron, who practiced evil necromancy, summoned a lot of skull-like things, and then put ...... Kill Captain Groot......" said the townsman shuddering.
"Bastard ......"
Geralt scolded angrily, he pulled his hair desperately, he didn't know what happened to him, in just two days, so many things had happened.
At this time, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart, Groot is the strength of a trainee senior swordsman, only a little bit away from a junior swordsman, and he doesn't know when he will break through, but he actually died, died at the hands of a child who was only fifteen years old, in other words, this child's strength has at least reached the level of trainee senior.
"That kid, he'...... He's only fifteen years old......"
The thought that he had actually formed a grudge against such a person, Geralt shuddered just thinking about it.
At the age of fifteen, how will he grow up in the future?
The strength of the apprentice level may not be a big deal in the Holy Roman Empire, but in the area of Maple Town, it is enough to go sideways, and in addition to the Holy See, not many people dare to provoke.
At this time, Geralt couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, if he had known that things would have turned out like this, he wouldn't have done so much at the beginning, with his identity, he would come to the door to apologize to that kid, and then make appropriate compensation, it doesn't take much, a dozen or so gold coins can be settled, and now there will not be such a big hatred.
And not only did he not do this, but instead sent people to kill them all, and Geralt now repents of his intestines.
Thinking of this, Geralt couldn't help glaring at Kitley fiercely, this matter was all done by this stupid boy, as a nobleman, Kitley usually does a lot of bad things, and many commoner women have also been ravaged by him, and they all use money to settle it afterwards, but this time it ......
"Father......" Kitley cried out in a daze at Geralt's staring.
Geralt sighed, although the matter was caused by Kitley, he was always his own son, and it was useless to blame him now, besides, there was also a problem with his own way of handling things.
Now that things have come to this point, I am afraid that hatred cannot be easily unraveled.
"Father, what now?" Kitley's voice trembled a little, he knew that he had caused trouble and offended a person with such a strong strength, the strength of the apprentice senior, how many in the area of Maple Leaf Town? Not to mention the strength of the junior apprentice swordsman who he couldn't handle, it was his father, and he was just a apprentice senior swordsman, don't look at him arrogant in front of these ordinary townspeople, as soon as he met a real powerhouse, he was immediately intimidated.
"What should I do?"
Geralt knew that regret was useless, on the surface, this child's strength had surpassed that of Naka Manor, in other words, Naka Manor had no way to take him.
Unless......
"Father, why don't you find your aunt......" Kitley whispered.
Aunt, Salter Family.
Geralt's eyes lit up, as long as the Salter family sent a strong man, he would not worry about killing this Ron.
"No, it's too far...... Geralt thought about it, but still shook his head, the Salt family is in the imperial capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the road is far away, and when he invites the strongest, Naka Manor is afraid that it has been razed to the ground.
"What then?" Kitley's face turned pale with fright, and then he realized how ridiculous his little power seemed in front of the real strong.
"I'm afraid, there's only one way......" Geralt raised his head, his eyes flashed with revenge, and he didn't do anything, now that the matter was done, the feud was also settled, and there was no way to turn back.
Several people from Naka Manor silently collected the body and went back. In this battle, the vitality of Naka Manor was greatly damaged, although the strength of these guards was not very good, but they were all invited back with money, not only weapons, equipment were provided by Naka Manor, and according to the rules of the Holy Roman Empire, everyone signed a contract, and those who were injured and died in battle had to pay a pension, which was a lot of money, and now they died so much at once, even with the financial resources of Naka Manor, they couldn't stand it.
The equipment of the dead Naka Guards is valuable, and they must have taken it back when they study.
Near the border of Shining Gold, in a special room, this room stands alone on the side of the road, a place where there is no village in front of it, and there is no place to shop behind.
The house is made of several large wooden pillars, and from the outside, it looks quite simple.
Inside the room, there were several long counters, like bars, and around them were scattered several worn-out tables, the stools on which were already covered with dirt.
Although this room is small and remote, there are many people coming and going, and it is quite lively, and the room, as long as there are stools, is full of people.
Mercenary Tavern.
A place that is the most sacred place in the hearts of all mercenaries in the Noah Continent, as soon as these mercenaries arrive here, they know that they are safe.
Although the tavern is small, it has everything, not only can you drink the inferior rice wine that the mercenaries like, but also provide a place to rest, and most importantly, it is a place to post a quest, and even get money here after the quest is completed.
Many mercenaries like to stay here every day, staring at the mission bulletin board to see what quests are suitable for them.
There are many tasks, and the bulletin board is densely arranged, which can be suitable for ordinary mercenaries to do, and there are very few, and many of them need to go to some dangerous places to complete.
For example, the reward for hunting the horns of the blue bull is 500 gold coins, and the blue bull is easy to hunt, but the location of the blue bull is in the Qimo Plateau - it is a famous dangerous place, and the reward is too low compared to the efforts and risks they have made, of course, if the reward is increased to 5,000 gold coins, the mercenaries here will definitely be eager to hunt for it.
Mercenary tasks are divided into S-level, A-level, B-level, D-level, E-level tasks, etc., each level of tasks has a lot of rewards, the higher the level of tasks, the higher the reward, of course, the greater the risk, like S-level tasks, the rewards are calculated by hundreds of tens of millions of gold coins.
Of course, S-class missions are not something that ordinary people can accomplish, and most mercenaries generally choose D-level or E-class missions.
After the task is completed, you can submit the mission to any mercenary tavern or mercenary station in Noah's continent, and the waiters in the mercenary tavern have a special way to contact the mercenary union to confirm the completion of the task, and then pay the reward directly.
The Mercenary Tavern is one such place.
Those who have mercenary status have a 20% discount on alcohol consumption here, of course, this does not include the cost of finding a girl.
In the tavern, there is a turbid air, the sound of guessing fists, drinking, and quarrels are endless, and there are many women in bright costumes shuttling around the vulgar mercenaries, and many women have a large piece of snow white on their chests, which attracts the perverted eyes of those male mercenaries.
It is full of women from poor families, and for them, this kind of work is too easy, and they can earn enough money every month to live on the family without hard work.
The mercenaries here are generous, especially those who have just completed the task and received the payment, when they just come out of the hall, many women will rush up, the mercenary's money is too easy to earn, of course, this definitely requires a very vicious eye to see.
Geralt and Kitley are here.
"Father, is this the Mercenary Tavern?" Kitley had come to this place for the first time, and it was a new place for him.
"Well, this is where the assignment is accepted and issued...... Geralt nodded, dismounted, and walked in with his legs raised.
