Harden shook off the blood on the butcher's knife, looked at the frightened young people behind the headless corpse, and said calmly:
"If he wants me to die, he must die. If you don't accept it, report it to the officials, or you can seek revenge directly from me."
"You don't dare, Master Demon Hunter, it's him, it's his fault, we never thought of harming you." These young shepherds quickly waved their hands and begged for mercy.
Dick Seeing this, the smile on his face faded and he wanted to say something, but then he thought about it and realized that this shepherd did not have any good intentions in his heart.
Fortunately, he showed up in time this time, otherwise Harden might have lost his life.
Thinking of this, he didn't say much, winked at Harden, and the two of them got back on their horses and galloped away in search of the nearest town.
After walking for a while, Harden spoke again, "Dick, if I didn't kill that person just now, there would be more trouble in the future.
"He will spread the message that I am weak and careless, and more people will pervert me when entrusting tasks.
"With inaccurate information, I would most likely lose my life."
Dick After a moment of silence, he nodded. "I understand.
"However, I just saw that there were so many sheep on the farm. These shepherds should be herding them for the nearby nobles.
"If you kill a noble's servant, you may be in trouble later."
"It's okay." Harden's eyes narrowed slightly on his dull face, as if he was smiling.
Since Harden said so, Dick said no more, and the two of them soon came to a town.
It was completely dark at this time. After searching around, I found that there was no hotel, but luckily I found an abandoned warehouse.
As a demon hunter, it is a habit to eat and sleep in the open, so I don't care about this.
There are some haystacks in this warehouse, which can be used as a sleeping place.
Dick found some firewood to pile up, lit the bonfire, and took out some food and two bottles of wine from his pocket.
Dick did not share this food with Harden, because Harden was already salivating at the highly toxic meat of Forktail roasting on the fire.
Dick, on the other hand, took out two extra bottles of wine. Harden reached for one without hesitation, and then the two of them ate their own food and chatted.
"Have both Russell and Ruiwen returned to Witcher Order?"
"I've gone back. I went back a few days ago. 'Crown Festival' is coming soon. Most of the demon hunters will return to the guild to celebrate the festival together if nothing unexpected happens."
Harden After Dick helped him, he talked more than before.
"Then Vesemir is back?"
"No, but he sent a letter saying that he will not come back this year Crown Festival, and spent time with his adopted daughter in Xiaolu City, and Geralt has not replied yet."
"Geralt and Little Yennefer went back to Little Yennefer's hometown together, and he probably won't come back." Dick explained, "By the way, is Kayn back?"
"No."
"Strange, where did Kayn go again? Are there any other changes in our cult?"
"Nothing has changed, except that this year our School of the Lynx will also open Trial of the Grasses."
"How many people are there?"
"There are probably more than a dozen people. It is estimated that none of them will survive. I collected Forktail's cerebrospinal fluid because of Ruiwen's wishes."
"Ruiwen means?"
"This cerebrospinal fluid is one of the formulas of Trial of the Grasses."
"I remember that other schools were very disgusted with our School of the Lynx transforming new demon hunters. Why did they agree this time?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because Master has completed a lot of demon hunting commissions recently, and because Ruiwen is not only our School of the Lynx's warlock, but also Northern Kingdoms's royal warlock, he has more say, so we agreed.
"Besides, those children are also orphans. Who would care if they died?"
Dick stopped talking, and the two of them just ate their food quietly, occasionally clinking glasses of wine from their bottles, and chatting casually.
In fact, the relationship between the two was not very close before, but this was the first time they had said so many words.
During this period, Harden actually asked Dick if he wanted to try his delicious food, and he said:
"We demon hunters are very resistant to poisons. It's absolutely fine for you to taste a little. If you eat a little too much, you'll get diarrhea at most."
Dick seriously refused. He did not want to be like Harden, who was obsessed with monsters and flesh, and eventually turned his figure into a fat man, with almost all the hair on his head falling off.
Harden Seeing this, he no longer forced himself.
After that, everyone felt a little sleepy, so they each lay down on the haystack and fell asleep.
Early on the next morning, the two of them continued to ride horses and galloped toward the northwest. At noon, after bypassing two rugged mountain roads, the front gradually became much warmer, like autumn.
Harden's eyes narrowed slightly again. "We will definitely arrive Kaer Morhen before tonight, so take a good rest then."
Before it got dark, a towering stone sentry tower appeared in front of the two of them.
I have to say that Kaer Morhen is really well hidden. If no one leads the way, you will definitely get lost in the previous jungles and valleys.
The sentry tower in front of us is the last stop leading to Kaer Morhen.
The two men immediately dismounted and stopped moving forward. They saw two bald heads emerging from the towering sentry tower.
After glancing at the two of them, he quickly ran down the stairs in the sentry tower.
After a while, two tall, shirtless men came to Dick.
Dick Looking at the strong muscles of these two people, he knew that they were both brothers of School of the Grizzly Bear, but his original personality was relatively withdrawn, and he did not know the names of these two brothers.
It was Harden who spoke first, "Zema, Kofa, how are they? Are there any dangerous situations?"
"It's not dangerous, it's just a bit boring. Our patrol tower only changes people every three days. Sometimes we two really envy you School of the Lynx."
Dick now knew the names of the two of them, and also asked, "Why are you envious of us?"
He just said it casually and was not sure whether the two people would reply.
But to the left of Zema, the disciple School of the Grizzly Bear, known as Kofa, actually responded to Dick with a smile:
"Of course there are very few people in your school, so there is no need to perform sentry duties."
Then he added, "By the way, Tyson says hello to you."
Dick was shocked: Tyson had obviously returned to the Bacchus Empire with his father Professor Seir, how could he say hello to me?
He quickly asked, "Tyson is back?"
Kofa on the other side replied:
"No, it's just that after he returned to his hometown, he sent the carrier pigeon twice to Kaer Morhen, so we naturally know his information. In the letter, he said that he was cooperating with his father to conduct a mutation experiment on an instrument."
Dick knew that what he was talking about was Witcher Secondary Mutation's instrument experiment, but what he couldn't figure out was why Professor Seir would let Tyson keep in contact with Witcher Order.
Seeing Dick looking confused, Zema on the opposite side smiled again:
"And not only is there a letter from Tyson, but there is also a letter from his father Professor Seir, in which he especially praised you."
