After saying goodbye to O'Neill, Dick tallied up the harvest along the way:
Kill Water Hag X3 and get Energy Points X25;
Kill Drowner X18 and get Energy Points X35;
Complete the commission and obtain Energy Points X30;
This time we got Energy Points X90, and we got Energy Points X150 in total.
Dick never expected that Drowner killed so many, and there was more than one Water Hag, probably the one who was killed by Samum Bomb in Drowner's lair. This time the harvest was quite satisfactory.
He raised his head and looked at the sun. Seeing that it was still early, Dick decided to look around for another commission.
Arriving at the commission column in the market, the residents of Odinburg greeted the witcher respectfully with smiles on their faces.
After politely greeting the people around him, Dick began to check the commission on the notice board above.
Unexpectedly, he actually found one:
Everyone is fine, can you help me, this old lady?
I am Lady Kardashian, the owner of the Withered Manor, which is 10 kilometers away from Odinburg.
Jatu came here a few days ago and I didn't dare to go back.
Now I am urgently looking for brave warriors to explore the road. Anyone who can help me confirm that my manor is no longer in any danger will be rewarded heavily.
The address of Lady Kardashian is also attached below.
Dick followed the address and walked along the street to a hotel. He opened the door, walked to the bar, and said, "Hello, boss, is there a lady named Kardashian here? I'm here to pick up her order."
"You mean Lady Kardashian? Look, she is in the far corner, drinking alone."
"Thank you."
Dick then walked to the corner and looked down at an old lady in her fifties or sixties, elegantly dressed and drinking alone at a table.
"Hello, my name is Dick. I am a demon hunter. I saw your request on the notice board."
"Oh, great! Handsome young man, I need someone to make sure my Withered Manor is not in any danger.
"As long as you complete this matter, I will give you 50 Kelang, how about it?"
"Of course, if there are monsters inside, you need to help me get rid of them. Just cut off their ears and bring them back as evidence, and I will give you a total of 100 Kelang."
"Deal."
Then Lady Kardashian handed Dick a map. "This is the location of my Withered Manor.
"Hey, those abominable Jatus. After they arrived, I didn't even have time to take away the girls in the manor, so I only brought two personal followers with me. I hope the others are still alive, God bless them."
Dick said nothing, looked at the map carefully and put it away, then nodded and left.
He did not walk out of the city gate, but returned to the Odinburg fortress.
In the courtyard, Kebi was practicing Swordsmanship under the guidance of Fisher.
Due to the cold weather, he was wearing a warm gown and stabbing at the prop target in front of him meticulously.
Seeing Dick arriving, he stopped what he was doing.
"Dick, you came back so early, do you want to have lunch? I can ask the servant to make it for you now."
"No, I just want to ask you if you can lend me a horse? I have a new commission, which is not close to here."
"No, there is no need to borrow it. I planned to give you one as a gift when you left.
"Fisher Captain, please bring the horse."
Fisher turned around and walked towards the stable in the distance. After a while, the sound of horse hooves came, and he led a tall horse over.
This horse is covered in spots, has thick bones, and is extremely tall.
Dick It is visually estimated that its body is close to 1.8 meters.
"This is Jatu... war horse." Dick said in surprise.
"Not bad." Kebi replied.
"Didn't Queen Meve take all the war horses away?" Dick asked again.
"She did take away all the horses, but when we rescued Xiya, didn't we bring back more than 10 horses together?
"This is the best war horse among them. I planned to give it to you personally when you leave here after the examination. It seems that you can use it now."
"Thank you very much." Dick stroked the horse's hair happily.
The latter snorted briskly and gently rubbed Dick's hand with its huge cheek. Apparently it liked its new owner better.
"Dick, give this horse a name. We have already saddled it." Fisher said with a smile on his face.
Dick groped his chin, "This horse is covered in spots and is very tall and strong. The name should reflect these characteristics of it."
"Then let's call it Da Zhuang?" Kebi suggested.
"No, call it Spotty."
After that, Dick got on the horse, waved his hand, and walked slowly outside Odinburg.
Fisher on the side looked at the demon hunter's retreating figure. "Master Kebi, Master Dick is such a genius in naming!"
And Kebi also knew that Fisher was joking. "Which one of us do you think has a better name?"
"Although Dick is strong, of course you are better in terms of naming."
Then the laughter of the two people came from behind, and Dick also smiled on the horse.
With his mind relaxed, he rode his horse and walked leisurely in the direction of the manor, passing the previous town of Nameless on the way.
It's still quiet here, with broken walls and ruins, and it's extremely dilapidated.
Fortunately, since the corpse was burned before, it did not attract the arrival of Rotfiend and Ghoul.
In the afternoon, Dick came to the outside of the Withered Manor.
This is a manor hidden by high walls. From the outside, it is obvious that the main building is seven or eight meters high, and it should be a huge villa.
He quietly dismounted and tied the horse's reins to a nearby tree.
Then I concentrated on opening Witcher Senses.
Then, his relaxed face turned serious in an instant, because he found something moving inside.
There were loud conversations and wanton laughter from people inside.
It's Jatu!
Dick The corner of the mouth is cold:
This must be the Jatu bandit that Kebi once said.
After being defeated by Order of the Falcon, they unexpectedly hid in the Withered Manor. It was unclear whether they were preparing for the next ambush or had other ideas.
These have nothing to do with you.
But...
When they attacked the city that day, they actually asked the surrounding villagers to act as human shields in front of them.
As a result, Kebi was forced to make a choice.
Today, I just want to avenge those villagers and help Kebi avenge his shame.
Dick is ready to hold his breath, open the Second Witcher Senses again, and prepare to use assassination techniques to find opportunities to send these Jatu villains cleanly into Hell.
But just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the main entrance of the Withered Manor. The steps were steady and heavy.
Dick simply bent down, clinging to the corner, and secretly looked towards the main entrance.
The person who came was huge, wearing heavy black armor, holding a huge sword, without any helmet on his head, revealing a face with dark skin and a rather scrawled look.
He is bald, and his neck is very thick, almost as wide as his head.
On his neck, there is an obvious pendant. The pendant is round and dark silver in color, and the pattern on it is a roaring bear's head.
