Chapter 22: The Separated Mother and Daughter (I)

On a rainy night, on a mass grave in a hill on the outskirts, there were a few low and ear-scraping hisses, Luo Xian felt that he was watching Liaozhai, and it was really a shadow of his childhood.

Immediately afterwards, in the mass grave, in a relatively low-lying grass, there was the sound of Xi Xi Suo.

In the eyes of the three men, a bloody fetus gradually crawled out of the grass.

The red and white skin, mixed with some purple, had no hair because it was a fetus, the umbilical cord and some internal organs were hung around the neck of the fetus, there were no eyelids, and two eyes as large as copper bells glowed blue, staring straight at the three men, and finally fixing their eyes on the baron himself.

A long tongue sticks out of the mouth full of sharp teeth, at least a foot long, completely exceeding the length of the fetus itself. There is no nose, and the place where it was originally a nose is a blur, and a gap is directly opened on the upper lip, like a rabbit's lips.

"No, no~" Suddenly seeing the baby born by his beloved wife turn into this ghost, Lord Baron involuntarily took a few steps back and hid behind Geralt.

"Don't be afraid, with us here, professional matters will be handled by us, you have to trust the white wolf. A spark popped out between Luo Xian's fingers, landed on the baron's body, and slipped into it, and the baron suddenly felt that his heart was on fire, and he was no longer so afraid.

"Have you decided?, do you want to kill her for blood, or accept her as your family?" Geralt was about to pull out the silver sword on his back with his right hand, but Luo Xian quietly held down his arm.

The baron thought about his wife and daughter, who had been missing for several days, and gritted his teeth, "Don't kill her, she's innocent, I can't hurt her anymore!"

"All right, then go up and take her in your arms, hurry!" Geralt's next words surprised the baron.

He had thought that he would be able to transform a corpse baby into a househouse goblin by performing some strange ritual, but now that the demon hunter had to step forward and hold this extremely disgusting and terrifying-looking monster in his arms, he couldn't help but think that there was something wrong with his ears.

"What if she suddenly goes mad, she'll attack us while we're not looking!" the baron's voice was a little weak.

"You've hurt her, and it's your attitude that decides everything. She's going crazy when she's screaming around her, and now, she's calm. Geralt smiled at the corner of his mouth, clearly happy to see what happened next. It is definitely a pleasing thing to make this man who likes domestic violence suffer something.

"What if she's restless when I hold her?" asked the baron, lowering his voice.

"If she hates you, she will bite off the blood vessels in your neck and make you bleed to death, and I won't have time to save you. Go ahead, don't you dare to pay for the sake of your family, or are you just a nobleman who likes to hide in the castle and shout?"

Geralt's words struck Baron Philip's heart, and he felt his shoulders sink as he hesitated.

Luo Xian stretched out his hand and pressed the baron's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, go ahead, pick her up, love her like your own daughter, truly accept her from the heart, and end this undeserved debt." ”

The fruit he planted must be eaten by himself after all, the baron nodded to Luo Xian, his face suddenly became resolute, and he slowly walked towards the corpse baby a few meters away.

"Gods bless~" The baron bent down and picked up the baby like a puppy.

The corpse baby looked at the baron, roared and opened its large mouth, revealing three layers of fangs inside, and a long scarlet tongue sticking out and licking the baron's serious face.

"You can see that she hasn't forgotten you. Geralt's words rang out again.

The baron only felt that his legs had lost sensation, and he held the corpse baby in front of him with both hands flat, not knowing what to do next.

"Let's go, go back to the castle at once. ”

"Take her back, just go back?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you said you were going to try that old legend and turn her into your own house elf. ”

"God, please forgive me" The baron had no choice, the arrow had to be fired, he had already picked up the corpse baby, and if he put it back on the ground, who knows if she would suddenly go crazy and bite off her neck, at least now it seems that this bloody baby is still very calm.

Then you can only do what the demon hunter says.

The baron held the corpse infant aloft, his arms stretched straight, and the corpse baby's tongue occasionally ran over his eyebrows and beard, leaving behind an incomprehensible smell of liquid.

"Now is not the time, wait for us to go back and make trouble~" What can the baron say? Although my heart was full of disgust, I didn't dare to show it at all.

"The corpse baby is the existence of evil energy, because contact with popularity will attract demons and ghosts, go quickly, otherwise those difficult guys should appear. Geralt urged behind the baron.

"It's okay, I'll take care of these things, it just so happens that I'm more professional. Luo Xian's words made Geralt wake up, now is not the moment when he used to fight alone, with a companion by his side, his specialty seems to be dealing with ghosts. When a common ghost encounters him, it is like a snowflake encountering a scorching sun, and there is no combat power at all.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Philip, let's go~"

The mass grave site is the former settlement of the villagers of the crow's nest, about a kilometer or less than two kilometers away from the castle on the top of the hill, and it is still necessary to walk for a while.

Before Geralt could finish his sentence, some faint light appeared around the baron, out of thin air, followed by some chaotic roars in all directions.

"Oh my God, she's starting to move! God forbid! She's so strong, I can't hold her anymore! Find a way to calm her down!" the baby in the baron's hand changed in the light, and he cried out in horror for help.

"Ning~" Luo Xian read a word in his mouth, quickly took out the black book, opened one of the pages, stretched out his hand to draw a symbol in the air, and suddenly the symbol composed of light turned into a point of light and flew into the head of the corpse baby.

The corpse baby immediately settled down.

At this moment, seven or eight ethereal figures loomed all around, dressed in cloth clothes made of strange light, holding a sword in their left hand and a bright lamp in their right hand. There was a roar in the lamp, and from time to time the image of a human head flew out from above and dissipated into the air.

"It's a night demon! It's much more powerful than ordinary ghosts, but I didn't expect the corpse baby's resentment to be so big, and it provoked all this thing, and there were eight of them. Geralt's face became solemn, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of monster that was recorded in the Demon Hunter's Demon Hunting Book, and there were so many of them.

Hopefully the ghoul oil will do them a little bit. It's useless for these ghosts to attack with normal weapons. They don't eat physical attacks, and they can blur their bodies at any time, and can shuttle at will within a radius of tens of meters, appearing in any place you don't expect to launch a surprise attack.

Ordinary demon hunters encounter this kind of monster and run away, and many of them die at their hands, Geralt's demon hunter friend, a demon hunter of the Viper School, died at the hands of this monster and disappeared into history.

"Affectionate and happy, ruthless and sufferingless, pure and free, free from bondage. Luo Xian held the black book in his hand, and a few words came out of his mouth. Several light-forged chains flew out, piercing through the bodies of these looming demons, and streaks of black gas suddenly emerged from them.

Suddenly, those demon spirits with fangs and claws were like a spell, and they took off the clothes they were wearing on their bodies, revealing their original appearances.

or human faces, or ghost appearances, or animal appearances, or bird heads, all scattered into brilliance, and finally received in the black book.

A fight suddenly became invisible.

Geralt breathed a sigh of relief, with his ability, under the siege of the eight demon spirits just now, I am afraid that he will be seriously injured, and he can't care about the safety of the baron at all, if he wants to save his life, he will have to take secret medicine to escape, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the search for clues to the adopted daughter will fail.

Fortunately, Luo made a move first, and he held a mysterious black book in his hand, I'm afraid it was really a great magic prop.

Geralt nodded to Luo Xian in thanks, the baron here seemed to be bewildered by the corpse baby in his hand, and just now he didn't notice the surrounding vision at all, and exclaimed happily, "Now it's okay, she's quiet again." ”

"Then let's keep walking~"

"Okay. Well, Geralt, what the hell are you going to do with her?"

"It's none of my business, it's your business. I told you to rebury her under the threshold of the castle, and if the book is correct, she will become a housegoblin who blesses you. From now on, she will protect your house and help me find your family by the way. Have you come up with a name for her?"

"Not yet. ”

"It's important to think of one while you're walking. ”

"She, she's a girl. What would Anna have given her a name if she had given birth to her? Damn, how could I have known that this kind of thing is not all done by women? Bury her first, and then think about it when you bury her. ”

On the way back, those strange lights appeared two or three times, and these attracted otherworldly demon spirits were sucked away by Heiben before they appeared, avoiding the fight, which was extremely smooth.

Finally, the three of them came to the staircase on the garden side of the castle, and the baron had prepared a new tomb for her at the bottom of the staircase.

"Alright, it's finally here, what shall I do now?" the baron looked at the terrible-looking baby in his arms, and his eyes showed infinite sadness.

Geralt looked at the sky, the rain mixed with wind and thunder, it was not a quiet night.

"Now, follow me. ”

"Okay"

"By the power of the earth and the sky," said Geralt, and Baron Philip read along, and the thunder and lightning of the heavens testified together at this moment.

"Make a pact with the world that would have been your home,"

"Come to me, go to the children who are not accepted, please forgive me. ”

"Your name is to name her by name, and I accept you as my daughter. ”

When he arrived, tears welled up in the baron's eyes, mixed with rain, and poured on the body of the corpse baby in his arms, and he choked for a while before he said, "I will name you Tia and accept you as my daughter." ”

The baron couldn't cry, the thunder in the sky became louder and louder, and the big bronze bell-like eyes of the corpse baby softened, and he stretched out his immature arms to caress the baron's beard.

The baron looked speechlessly at the silent corpse in his hand and cried.

"Very well, all the best, now let's rebury the body. ”

In the small earthen pit, there is a beautiful coffin, and flowers, goat's milk and toys are placed around.

The baron placed the baby in the coffin, closed the lid, picked up the shovel beside him, and slowly filled it with earth

Neither Roxian nor Geralt did anything, but watched as the Baron himself buried his own child, which was also burying his furious heart.

Fill in the earth, place a beautiful pattern on it with neat stones, and finally enclose the area with a few large stones.

When he had finally done this, the baron seemed to have lost something from his body, "What now, what should I do?" ”

"We'll stay here, and if there's no problem, Tia will re-condense and become a house elf. Your mission is complete, let's go back to our room and rest, and when the elf appears, we'll ask her to take us to find Anna. ”

"I'll wait with you. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"But I've accepted her as my child. It's all my fault, it's my responsibility."

"Now it's too late for fatherly love to explode. Besides, you really can't help you stay here, go back and rest, and remember to visit her often. ”

"But"

"No, we're the experts at dealing with the problem, that's it. Go back, and stop drinking like a fool. ”

Looking at the baron in the distance, Luo Xian was silent, the father who also abandoned his mother and himself, if he met him one day, would he choose to forgive him?

Luo Xian didn't know the answer, he didn't want to know, he just hoped that there would never be this day.
