After hearing Lynn's explanation, Ruxe's family felt a little relieved.
In order to leave as soon as possible, Ruxe did not just watch, but helped Lynn drag the body together.
After a few minutes, all the bodies were gathered together.
Lynn releases Igni Sign and sets all the corpses on fire.
After witnessing the corpse being burned to ashes by the flames, Lynn said to Ruxe as if it was finally over.
"Okay, the dirty work is done. Wait until dawn tomorrow and let your workers clean up the blood stains in the lumberyard. By the way, are there any horses in the lumberyard?"
Ruxe shook his head.
Horses in this era are as valuable as cars in the twentieth century.
Ruxe No matter how generous you are, you can't park a few cars in a deserted lumberyard at night.
Lynn's eyes swept over Ruxe's wife and daughter.
"I only brought one horse. In this case... then let the madam and your daughter ride the horse, and the two of us walk... It may delay a lot of time, but there is no other way. We can't let the woman and the child walk. Let's let the two grown men ride the horse."
Ruxe said respectfully.
"Master, there is something I forgot to mention before. I just remembered that the city gate of Novigrad is not open at night. If we go there now, we can only wait outside the city gate until dawn."
In cities of this era, it is normal to impose curfews at night.
Even if some cities do not impose curfews, at least the city gates are closed.
But Lynn shook his head and said.
"There is a guard post outside the city gate. We can stay at the guard post all night."
"Or we can stay in the lumberyard until dawn, you decide."
Ruxe hesitated for a while.
Looking at the pile of burnt corpses and the blood stains everywhere.
And outside the lumberyard, the wind howled from time to time.
He really didn't have the courage to stay here until dawn.
"Otherwise we should rush to Novigrad overnight. Master, you will protect us, right? When we are safe, I promise to pay you a generous reward."
Night is not kind to humans.
Even on roads patrolled by guards during the day, they are nowhere to be seen at night.
Even if humans defeat the elves and become the overlord of the continent, the world at night is still not under the control of humans.
But the Witcher is different.
Cat Potion gives the witcher the ability to see in the dark.
Due to the mutation, the mutant senses are different from those of normal humans, and they can also keenly hear any sounds that try to approach.
Therefore, demon hunters who walk at night will not be subject to many restrictions.
Ruxe's family was very nervous throughout the whole process, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Only when they see the back of the person walking at the front can they feel a sense of peace of mind.
However, their worries were unnecessary, and there were no dangers along the way.
Perhaps it was because the witcher had just massacred a group of bandits and the smell of blood still lingered even after simple cleaning. Those figures who were about to move in the shadows of the trees finally only dared to let the group leave.
When the Ruxe family saw the tall city wall of Novigrad and the brightly lit outpost outside the city gate, they finally felt lucky to have survived.
Ruxe is right, Novigrad's city gate cannot be opened until dawn.
But the soldiers at the outpost allowed them to rest inside the outpost.
Seeing that there were two women in the group, a soldier took the initiative to heat two cups of hot drinks for them.
The soldiers were wary of Lynn at first.
But after several Gwent games, they discovered that demon hunters seemed to be no different from ordinary humans.
In this way, everyone was chatting away.
And Lynn also learned from Ruxe's mouth how their family was captured by Greenwood Brotherhood.
The leader of Greenwood Brotherhood, Vlasg, first used a beauty trick to deceive Myshelle.
Although Vlasg was just a poor worker, he was physically strong, hard-working and handsome, which fascinated Myshelle.
So he voluntarily left Oxenfurt with Vlasg.
Halfway through, Vlasg immediately revealed his true colors.
Not only did he tie up Myshelle, he also contacted his accomplices and asked his accomplices to take Myshelle to the lumberyard of Myshelle's home.
He himself put on a stolen uniform of Oxenfurt University and went to her parents' house with a headdress of Myshelle.
He claimed to be Myshelle's classmate, and he came here just to tell Ruxe and his wife that Myshelle was missing.
Although Vlasg has a dark heart, he does look very harmless to humans and animals. Coupled with Oxenfurt University's school uniform and Myshelle's headdress, Ruxe and his wife believed it to be true.
Because they were worried about their daughter and couldn't care about that much, they left Novigrad with Vlasg.
Vlasg deliberately brought the two of them to the place where their accomplices were ambushing them so that they could also be arrested.
Lynn will know what happens next.
This trick sounds so clumsy now that no one would fall for it.
But at that time, both Myshelle and Ruxe were deceived due to various reasons, so they could not see clearly like others.
Time flies when you have someone to talk to.
When dawn arrived, Novigrad's city gate finally opened.
Lynn and Ruxe's family entered the city together.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Ruxe's home in Shangcheng District.
Ruxe's wife was so frightened that she went straight to her bedroom to rest as soon as she got home.
Ruxe Let his daughter take care of his wife.
He himself took out three hundred crowns from the safe and gave it to Lynn, and said that no matter if Lynn had any difficulties in the future, he could come to him.
If he can help, he will definitely help.
Before Lynn left, Ruxe wrote a letter and asked Lynn to deliver it to Professor Gloger.
As proof that Lynn has completed the commission.
Then Lynn rushed back to Oxenfurt University without stopping.
Give the letter written by Ruxe to Gloger.
"Well, this is indeed the handwriting of Mr. Ruxe. It seems that you have completed the task well." Professor Gloger put down the letter and said with great satisfaction.
Then, he took out a money bag from the drawer and handed it to Lynn solemnly. "This hundred kronor is yours, young man, you have done a good job."
"Thank you, Professor."
When money comes in, Lynn is also happy from the bottom of his heart.
This one hundred crowns, plus the three hundred crowns given by Ruxe, and the Oren previously paid by the great elder Brovar...
Vesemir would have never imagined that in less than a year since he came down from the mountain, Lynn's wealth is already higher than that of many fellow demon hunters who have been practicing for more than ten or twenty years.
