Chapter 134 Do You Think that Colgrim Will Be Given Away for Free Again?

Lan En smiled: "Keep your head up, children don't need to learn everything from adults. I just arrived at White Orchard today and you came to me. It seems that you have been waiting for me."

After hearing Lan's words, Leo raised his head, glanced curiously at the dark golden lion pupils, and then lowered his head in panic.

"Lord Earl... I dare not disturb you, but I want to ask you: are you a witcher?"

Lan En nodded and said, "It's true."

Leo took a deep breath and said, "I once heard a poet, his name was Dan or something, he sang a story about a demon hunter named 'White Wolf'. He said that demon hunters are all rangers A ranger who fights righteousness and punishes rape and eradicates evil, I would like to ask my lord Earl... are you also such a demon hunter?"

The amount of information in this sentence is a bit large.

The boy didn't dare look up, but even if Lan didn't meet his eyes, he could see the fantasy the boy was holding carefully.

As a qualified adult, what should be done at this moment seems to be to pierce the boy's fantasy and let him recognize the reality. After all, reality likes to devour children with fantasies the most, especially in this medieval fantasy land where life is like nothing.

But through the boy's narration, Lane has basically been able to determine the identity of the child: Leo, the wolf-sent demon hunter apprentice who will die in the future.

He didn't technically become a witcher until his death. He has only passed part of the trials of the demon hunter, and he has simply gained a certain amount of physical strengthening, mastered the martial arts of swords and swords, and has also mastered certain spells half-baked.

This is already very rare. Demon hunters have a high fatality rate at every stage, even if the "choice" is only the first stage of physical sword training, because the long time span can make the unsteady Any school apprentices are driven crazy to look like cats, and then let them die in the subsequent trials.

If you use the Gwent card to measure Leo's strength, it is equivalent to a purple card, SR level.

Compared with Milva, who is at the top of his profession, he may be a little weaker, but he is still a talent.

These are Lane's more realistic considerations for the child in front of him. And even if these factors are eliminated, Lan En's tolerance for children is exceptionally good—unless it is the kind of child who is forced to die and push the plot.

"My child, it may be difficult for you to understand at your age: there are good and bad people in any group, including witchers. So if you meet someone with similar eyes to mine in the future, don't post it rashly gone."

Lan En chuckled: "But you and I are both lucky, at least I'm not a bad person now. Why, do you have any 'entrustment' for me?"

If the adults were here, they would have knelt down and said "dare not" when they heard the word "entrustment", but Leo's eyes lit up, and he finally had the courage to raise his head.

Then Lane heard a story:

Not long ago, before Colgrim left the White Orchard, the young Leo came to him and wanted to hire a snake demon hunter with an almost ridiculous so-called reward.

Facing Leo, who admired the demon hunter, the snake demon hunter originally wanted to scare him away with a vicious voice, but in the end it seemed that he indulged in his own sensibility and kindness for a short time, and accepted Leo's commission— — The search for Yorkjoon, son of the missing beekeeper.

It all started when Colgrim got himself into trouble when he arrived at White Orchard, trying to buy honey and make some mead.

Afterwards, Colgrim explained to Leo what happened before he was caught:

"When I got there, the beekeeper's house was crackling, and his wife and children were all bruised by him. I didn't want to cause trouble, but I just wanted to buy some honey; I'm a foreigner, but you want to sell me for three times the price, do you think I'm stupid?"

"After I left, that kid actually came to me once. He ridiculously wanted to ask me for three times the honey money for his father. I didn't beat him. It was considered a good temper. He scolded and walked away."

After accepting Leo's commission, Colgrim returned to the place where he met the beekeeper's son Yorkjon that day, opened up the witcher's senses, and easily followed along according to the scent of honey.

The smell crossed the beekeeper's house, seemed to linger at the gate for a while, and then turned out of the village, all the way north to the edge of the Ismina River.

Colgrim didn't think about why the beekeeper's son came to this place alone, but he found groups of water ghosts here.

The snake demon hunter may not be able to defeat groups of demon spirits in encounters, but water ghosts are a piece of cake for him. Without even using poison, he turned the water ghost into a dead ghost.

Later, he found York Joan's body in the gathering place of these water ghosts.

The truth came out.

He told Leo the truth and brought Leo here. The boy wept bitterly when he saw his partner's body. He begged the witcher to take Yorkjon's body back to the beekeeper for burial, but was refused.

Colgrim had no love for White Orchard, not even an interest in proving his innocence. Finding the missing beekeeper's son was an explanation for Leo's "entrustment", and he left immediately.

In order to prevent Leo from doing stupid things after he left, he also brought the boy to his parents and frightened the peasant couple as a "witch hunter who might abduct the child". Beaten and grounded.

The Snake Demon Hunter left, and Leo had no other people to turn to for help. It was not until today that he heard his parents talking about the return of Lane and his party that he regained hope.

He climbed out of the window and worked up the courage to find Lan, hoping to see the real witcher he imagined.

[Discovery Mission - Sweet Home:

The snake sent the witcher to find the beekeeper's son, or "part" of the beekeeper's son according to the aroma of honey; at this moment, the one who cared most about him was actually his playmate who was also a child. The kind-hearted child didn't want to see his companion's remaining body disappear into the belly of the beast, so he could only come to the witcher Earl for help. Demon hunter, it's not a bad thing to show your kindness once in a while, even if it doesn't end well. 】

But the system, isn't it because the demon hunter became "emotionless" because he was kind too many times when he was young?

Looking at the boy Leo who started to cry because of telling the story, Lan sighed, and this time he took it as a task. After all, with experience, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it is still meat.

Lane carefully chewed what Leo said just now, and asked: "Colgrim said that the son of the beekeeper once asked him to ask him for three times the price of honey, and then he was scolded and ran away, is that true? "

Leo nodded: "His father is fierce, bitter, and mean. He always bullies foreigners to set prices at will. Everyone in the village knows it. He must have forced York Joan to find Mr. Snake Eyes, and he killed him." Yorkjoon!"

The little boy gritted his teeth, and looking at him, Lan asked:

"But even so, you want to send Yorkjoon home?"

Leo hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "He has no other place to go, and his mother loves him very much and treats us very well, I think she needs to know about it..."

Lane nodded: "Okay, I've accepted your 'entrustment'. But what are you going to hire me for? Since you are so familiar with demon hunters, you should know that we are going to be paid, even if I am an earl , the tradition cannot be changed.”

Lane's original intention was to tease the crying boy, but Leo actually started to think in real distress.

"But I have already given all my property to Mr. Snake Eyes." Leo said hesitantly, "How about I give you something that I already have but I don't know? This poet also said... ...It's called the 'Law of Accident', is that ok?"

Looking at Leo's probing eyes, Lan smiled. He thought for a while and said, "You are a little smarter than I thought, but it happens that I really know one thing that you have without knowing it: your talent .You have a talent that you don't know about, Leo."

He looked at the boy with confused eyes, and said: "If you really want to pay with the 'law of accidents', then you have to sacrifice your 'talent', or 'you who have this talent'. I want to charge You as a servant."

Even a country boy like Leo can know how rare it is to be the earl's servant. What's more, the thing of "sacrificing oneself for the sake of friends" is so cool to boys, and in an instant Leo's chest even has a "pride".

Seeing the boy agreeing hastily, Lan En summoned the attendants with the mentality of adjusting his life. There was no need to summon the cavalry for such a small scene. The three attendants, the child and Lan En, a group of five people headed towards Lei Ou pointed the way and ran to the vicinity of the Ismina River.

The Ismina River runs through the Baiguoyuan area. It can be said that it is the river of life in Baiguoyuan, and it has been nourishing the nearby villagers.

Only this time it gave birth to life that was not able to live in harmony with humans. When Lann arrived here, he found five water ghosts appearing again, tearing the corpse of his dead companion.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, they raised their heads in unison, and all kinds of uncomfortable things ticked down on the bloody Hula's face.

Lann frowned disgustedly, devouring the same kind was always the most offensive topic.

"Disgusting monster." Milwa acted as Lane's substitute for a while, and said what he wanted to say.

Lann looked at the configuration of his team: a house who followed him in the north and south, a gold card marksman, and a friend of the dryad who had fought against the great griffin.

"I won't do anything, just get rid of them."

Lan En said that the three attendants had already drawn out their weapons, and when Lan En gave the order, they couldn't wait to pounce on them.

There is nothing to say about the battle scene. Two of the three attendants are carrying the follower template, and the remaining one is also brave and good at fighting.

If they couldn't handle a few water ghosts, Lane planned to let them farm on the spot in White Orchard.

Mirva, who had already mastered the archery system, took the lead in starting the group. When he drew the mahogany longbow, two consecutive arrows "swished" and were accurately buried in the heads of the two water ghosts.

Seeing this, House, who was charging, couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although Ace was gone, his feeling was still there. The feeling of the arrow passing through his neck and hitting the enemy was not too familiar. Milva's arrow skills are even better than Asyo's.
