At this moment, several fast horses came galloping, and the dust raised by the horseshoes floated high.
"What's going on here? Where's the kid?" It was Geralt, his son, and a few others who came on horseback. He received a tip-off from some townspeople in Maple Leaf Town and ran over quickly. Ron had been gone for a while by then.
"Ah, that's Master Geralt from Naka Manor..." Some sharp-eyed townspeople saw the person coming, and their eyes showed horror. In Maple Leaf Town, Geralt's notoriety is as loud as the Naka Guards .
"I just received a report that someone found Ron back, huh? Where's Ron?" Geralt got off his horse with a gloomy face. He knew right away that Ron must have left.
"Report Lord Geralt, Ron just left..." a townsman boldly said.
"Hmph... you bastards..." Geralt was feeling very upset right now, and was about to reprimand him when suddenly his eyes widened.
He saw Groot lying on the ground.
Something bad flashed in Geralt's heart. He rushed over and stretched out his hands to support Groot's body. Sure enough, Groot had died for a long time.
"Groot..." Geralt yelled, almost fainted, the captain of the Naka Guards, the strongest Groot died, he actually died.
"Who... who did it?" Geralt said through gritted teeth, his eyes nearly burst into flames.
Seeing Geralt's gaffe, the townspeople were stunned, and no one dared to answer him.
Geralt stood up with a "crack-" and grabbed a townsman by the collar, staring at him with cannibalistic eyes, and shouted, "Say, who did it?"
"Yes... yes... no... I didn't do it..." The townsman was so frightened by the angry Geralt that he couldn't even speak.
"Say, who is it?" Geralt looked like he was about to kill someone. You know, the captain of the Naka Guard, Groot, was his nephew, his own nephew.
"Yes, it's that Ron..." Among the townspeople, a bold one replied.
"What? Ron?" Geralt was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he ordered Ron to be hunted down, and he didn't expect that his people would be killed by the other party.
Geralt's blood-red eyes stared at the talking townsman, "Are 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 townsman said tremblingly .
"asshole… "
Geralt was so angry that he cursed. He pulled his hair desperately. He didn't know what happened to him. In just two days, so many things happened.
At this time, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. Groot is the strength of a trainee senior swordsman, only a little short of a junior swordsman, and he will break through at some point, but he died unexpectedly. In the hands of a five-year-old child, in other words, this child's strength has at least reached the advanced level of trainees.
"That kid, he... he's only fifteen years old..."
Thinking that he had forged a grudge against such a person, Geralt shuddered just thinking about it.
Fifteen years old, how will he grow up in the future
The strength of a senior trainee may not be a big deal in the Holy Roman Empire, but in the area of Maple Leaf Town, it is enough to walk sideways. Except for the Holy See, not many people dare to provoke it.
At this time, Geralt couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he wouldn't have done such a terrible thing at the beginning. How much, a dozen or so gold coins are enough to settle, and now there is no such big hatred.
And not only did he not do this, but he sent people to kill them all. Geralt is now regretful.
Thinking of this, Geralt couldn't help but glared at Kitley. This foolish boy did all this. As a nobleman, Kitley usually did bad things. Seeing his ravages, he settled them with money afterwards, but this time...
"Father..." Kitley yelled timidly after being stared at by Geralt.
Geralt let out a long sigh. Although Kitley was responsible for the matter, he was still his own son, and it would not help to blame him now. Besides, his own way of handling the matter was also problematic.
Now that things have come to this point, the hatred may not be easily untied.
"Father, what should we do now?" Kitley's voice was a little trembling. He knew that he had gotten into trouble and offended such a powerful person. How many of them were trainee seniors in Maple Leaf Town? Not to mention the strength of a junior apprentice swordsman that I can't handle, even my father is just an apprentice senior swordsman. Don't look at him being extremely arrogant in front of these ordinary townspeople. When he meets a real strong man, he will immediately coward him. up.
"How to do?"
Geralt knew that it was useless to regret. On the surface, the child's strength had already surpassed Naka Manor. In other words, Naka Manor had nothing to do with him.
unless…
"Father, why don't you find your aunt..." Kitley whispered.
Aunt, Salter family.
Geralt's eyes lit up, as long as the Salter family sent a strong man, they would not be able to kill this Ron.
"No, it's too far..." Geralt thought about it, but still shook his head. The Salter family is in the imperial capital of the Holy Roman Empire, and the journey is far away. When he invites the strong, the Naka Manor may have been razed. Flat land.
"Then what should we do?" Kitley's face turned pale with fright. Only then did he realize how ridiculous his little power looked in front of a real strong man.
"I'm afraid, there is only one way..." Geralt raised his head, his eyes gleaming with vengeance, and he kept on doing two things. Now that the matter is done and the hatred is settled, there is no way to turn back.
Several people in Naka Manor silently packed up the corpse and went back. In this battle, Naka Manor was seriously injured. Although these guards were not very strong, they were all paid back with money. Not only weapons and equipment were provided by Naka Manor, but according to the rules of the Holy Roman Empire, everyone signed After signing the contract, those who were injured and died in battle had to pay pensions. This was a lot of money. Now that so many died at once, even with the financial resources of the Naka Manor, they couldn't bear it.
The equipment of the dead Naka guards is valuable, and they must take it back.
In a place close to the border of Gold Shining Town, in a special house, this house stands alone on the side of the road, a place with no village in front and no shop behind.
The house is made up of several large wooden pillars, and it looks rather simple from the outside.
In the room, several long counters, like a bar, are scattered around a few worn-out tables, the stools on which are already full of dirt.
Although this room is not big and its location is remote, there are quite a few people coming in and out, and it is quite lively. In the room, as long as there are stools, it is full of people.
Mercenary Tavern.
It is the most sacred place in the hearts of all mercenaries in Noah's continent. Once these mercenaries arrive here, they know that they are 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. The most important thing is that this is the place where missions are released. money.
Many mercenaries like to stay here every day, staring at the task bulletin board to see what tasks are suitable for them.
There are many tasks, and the bulletin boards are densely packed, which are suitable for ordinary mercenaries, but there are very few of them, and many of them need to go to some dangerous places to complete.
For example, the reward for hunting the horns of the blue bull is 500 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, compared to the efforts and risks that I have put in. , The remuneration is really too low. Of course, if the remuneration is increased to five thousand gold coins, the mercenaries here will definitely flock to it.
Mercenary tasks are divided into S-level, A-level, B-level, D-level, E-level tasks, etc. Each level of task has a high reward. The higher the level of the task, the higher the reward, of course, the greater the risk, like For S-level missions, the rewards are calculated by tens of millions of gold coins.
Of course, S-level tasks are not something ordinary people can accomplish. Most mercenaries generally choose D-level or E-level tasks.
After the task is completed, you can submit the task at any mercenary tavern or mercenary station in Noah's mainland. The waiters in the mercenary tavern have a special way to contact the mercenary union to confirm the completion of the task and then pay the reward directly.
The Mercenary Tavern is one such place.
People with mercenary status have a 20% discount on drinking and drinking here. Of course, this does not include the cost of finding girls.
In the tavern, the air was filled with turbid air, the sound of fist-guessing, drinking, and quarreling could be heard endlessly, and among the interlaced cups of wine, many women in colorful clothes shuttled around the vulgar mercenaries. Seeing the perverted gazes of those male mercenaries, the brave ones stepped forward and grabbed them, causing those women to be coquettish. If the price is right, the women here can go upstairs with you.
Here are all women from poor families. For them, this kind of work is really too easy. They don't need to work hard, and they can earn enough money for a family every month.
The mercenaries here are generous, especially those who have just completed their missions and received rewards. When they first come out of the hall, many women will flock to them. The money for mercenaries is so easy to earn. I can tell.
Geralt and Kitley appear here.
"Father, this is the mercenary tavern?" Kitley came to this place for the first time, and for him, it was full of novelty.
"Well, this is the place to accept and issue missions..." Geralt nodded, got off his horse, and walked in.
