At this moment, several fast horses galloped in, and the dust raised by the horses' hoofs floated high.
"What's going on here? What about the kid?" It was Geralt, his son and other people who came along the horse. He received a tip from some townspeople in Maple Leaf Town and ran over quickly. , But Ron had been away for a while.
"Ah, that's Lord Geralt of Naka Manor..." Some sharp-eyed townspeople spotted the visitor, with a look of horror in their eyes. In Maple Leaf Town, Geralt's notoriety and Naka The guard is as loud.
"I just received a report that someone found Ron was back, eh? Where's Ron?" Geralt dismounted his horse with a gloomy face. He knew that Ron must have already left.
"Report to Lord Geralt that Ron has just left..." a townsman said boldly.
"Huh...you untouchables..." Geralt was very upset now, and was about to rant a few words. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
He saw Groot lying on the ground.
There was something wrong in Geralt's heart. He rushed forward and reached out to support Groot's body. Sure enough, Groot had been angry for a long time.
"Groot..." Geralt yelled and almost fainted. The captain of the Naka Guard, the strongest Groot, died. He actually died.
"Who...who did it?" Geralt gritted his teeth, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
The townspeople were stunned when they saw Geralt who was gaffe, and no one dared to answer him.
Geralt stood up with a "rub--", reached out and grabbed a townsman's collar, stared at him with cannibalistic eyes, and shouted, "Say, who did it?"
"Yes...yes...no...not me..." The townsman was so frightened by the angry Geralt that he couldn't even speak his words.
"Say, who the **** is it?" Geralt looked like he wanted to kill. You know, the Naka Guard Captain Groot is his nephew and nephew.
"Yes, it's Ron..." Among the townspeople, there was a bold answer.
"What? Ron?" Geralt was stunned for a moment. He didn't think he ordered Ron to be killed, and he didn't think his own people were killed by the opponent.
Geralt's blood-red eyes stared at the talking townsman, "You...are you sure..."
"Yes... Lord Geralt, that Ron, practiced evil undead magic, he summoned many skeleton-like things, and then... killed Captain Groot..." The town Min said tremblingly.
"Asshole..."
Geralt scolded with anger. He pulled his hair desperately. He didn't know what was wrong with him. In just two days, so many things happened.
At this time, there was a sudden chill in his heart. Groot was an apprentice of senior swordsman's strength. He was only a little short of the junior swordsman. He would break through at some point, but he actually died. In the hands of a child who is only fifteen years old, in other words, the strength of this child has at least reached the advanced level of traineeship.
"The kid, he...he is only fifteen years old..."
Thinking that he had forged a hatred with such a person, Geralt shuddered just thinking about it.
Is fifteen years old, where will he grow in the future?
The high-level apprentice strength may not be a big deal in the Holy Roman Empire, but in Maple Leaf Town, it is enough to walk sideways. Apart from the Holy See, not many people dare to provoke them.
At this time, Geralt couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he knew that things would turn out to be like this, he couldn't do it so absolutely. In his capacity, he came to the boy to apologize and compensate appropriately. , It doesn't take much, ten or so gold coins can be settled, and now there is not such a big hatred.
And not only did he not do this, but instead sent people to kill him, Geralt was regretful now.
Thinking of this, Geralt couldn't help but glared at Kitley. This silly boy did this. As a nobleman, Kitley usually does bad things. Many civilians do The woman was also ravaged by him, and afterwards they used money to settle the matter, but this time...
"Father..." Kitley was stared at by Geralt, and he called out in a wince.
Geralt sighed. Although Kitley did the job, he is always his own son. It doesn't help to blame him now. Besides, there is a problem with his own way of handling things.
Now that things have reached this point, the hatred cannot be easily solved.
"Father, what should I do now?" Kitley's voice trembled. He knew that he had gotten into trouble. He had offended a man with such a strong ability, who was a trainee of advanced strength, how many in Maple Leaf Town? Not to mention the strength of the junior trainee swordsman that he can't get his hands on, it's his father, and he's just a senior trainee swordsman. Don't look at him being very arrogant in front of these ordinary townsfolk. Whenever he meets a real strong, he will immediately persuade him. Up.
"What to do?"
Geralt knows that regret is also useless. On the surface, the strength of this child has surpassed Naca Manor. In other words, Naca Manor has nothing to do with him.
Unless...
"Father, or find aunt..." Kitley whispered.
Aunt, the Salt family.
Geralt's eyes lit up. As long as the Salt family sends a strong man, there is no worries about killing Ron.
"No, it's too far..." Geralt thought about it, and shook his head. The Salt family is in the Holy Roman Empire, and the journey is far away. When he invites the strong, Naka Manor is afraid. Has been razed to the ground.
"What should I do then?" Kitley paled with fright. Only then did he know how ridiculous his little power looked in front of the real strong.
"I'm afraid, there is only one way..." Geralt raised his head, his eyes gleamed with revenge, and he did not stop doing two things. Now that things are done, the enmity is over, and there is no way to look back. Up.
A few people in Naka Manor quietly cleaned up the body and went back. In this battle, the vitality of the Naka Manor was greatly injured. Although these guards were not very strong, they were all invited back with money. Not only the weapons and equipment were provided by the Naka Manor, but also in accordance with the rules of the Holy Roman Empire, everyone signed After signing the contract, he had to pay a pension if he was injured and died. This is a lot of money. Now that he died so much at once, even with the financial resources of Naka Manor, he could not bear it.
The equipment of the dead Naka Guard is valuable, and they must take it back.
In a special house near the border of Shanjin Town, this house stands alone on the side of the road, without the village in front of it, and the shop behind.
The house is made up of several large wooden pillars, which looks rather crude from the outside.
In the room, there are several long counters, like a bar, scattered around with a few shabby tables, and the stools on them are already full of dirt.
Although this room is small and remote, there are many people coming in and out. It is quite lively. The room is full of people wherever there are stools.
The Mercenary Tavern.
One of the most sacred places in the hearts of all mercenaries in Noah Continent. Once these mercenaries arrived here, they knew they were safe.
Although the tavern is small, it has everything you need. Not only can you drink the inferior rice wine that mercenaries like, but it can also provide a place to rest. Most importantly, it is the place to post the mission, and even after the mission is completed, Get money here.
Many mercenaries like to stay here every day, staring at the task board to see what suits them.
There are many tasks. The publicity boards are densely packed, which are suitable for ordinary mercenaries. There are few and few, and many of them need to go to some dangerous places to complete.
For example, the reward for hunting the blue bull’s horn is five hundred gold coins. The blue bull is easy to hunt, but the location of the blue bull is on the Kimo Plateau-it is a famous dangerous place. In terms of risks, the reward is too low. Of course, if the reward is increased to 5,000 gold coins, the mercenaries here will definitely be in droves.
The mercenary missions are divided into s-level, a-level, b-level, d-level, e-level missions, etc. Each level of mission has a high reward, the higher the level, the higher the reward, and of course the more risky Large, like s-level tasks, the rewards are calculated by tens of millions of gold coins.
Of course, s-level tasks cannot be completed by ordinary people. Most mercenaries generally choose d-level or e-level tasks.
After the task is completed, you can submit the task to any mercenary tavern or mercenary station in Noah Continent. The waiters in the mercenary tavern have a special method to contact the mercenary union to confirm the completion of the task, and then directly Pay compensation.
The Mercenary Tavern is such a place.
People with 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, the turbid air was filled with fist-guessing, drinking, and arguing. Many women in colorful costumes shuttled around the crude mercenaries, and many women showed a large area on their chests. Xue Bai attracted the perverted eyes of the male mercenaries, and the bold ones stepped forward and grabbed a handful of them, causing the women to irritate. If the price is right, the women here can follow you upstairs.
This place is full of women from poor families. For them, this kind of work is too easy. Without hard work, they can earn enough money for a family's life every month.
The mercenaries here are generous, especially those who have just completed the task and got paid. When they just come out of the hall, many women will swarm them. The mercenary money is too good to earn. Of course, this absolutely needs to be very vicious. You can see it with your eyes.
Geralt and Kitley appear here.
"Father, this is the mercenary tavern?" Kitley came to this place for the first time, and to him, it was full of novelty.
"Well, this is the place to accept and release tasks..." Jella nodded, got off the horse, and walked in.
