Van Tesin seemed to be very interested in chatting today.
He took out another cigarette from his body, lit it with a trace of flame using his Dharma seal, then took a deep breath and said, "Do you know why I don't like to get along with ordinary people?"
"Why?" Su Ziyu asked doubtfully, "Because they regard us as aliens?"
Fan Tesin shook the ashes of his cigarette, as if he was caught in the memories of the past, and said slowly: "I once accepted a commission from a school to deal with a demon hunter who massacred ordinary people."
"I tracked him for half a month and finally caught him near the small town of Ivia."
"I thought he was a demon hunter who was out of control and crazy, but he was very sane. Do you know why he massacred those ordinary people?"
After facing various monsters for a long time, some demon hunters will gradually lose control of their minds.
But their will is strong, and there are only a handful of demon hunters who lose control.
"Why?" Su Ziyu asked curiously.
Fantersin took another puff of tobacco and said slowly: "His name is Willen. He is not a very powerful demon hunter. I defeated him easily."
"He accepted a mission in a village in Tanya to help them kill a harmful spirit there. It took him a lot of effort to get rid of the enemy, but when he took the monster's head to the village When the elders asked for payment, they actually used various excuses and were only willing to give him three gold galleons, which was not even enough to cover the cost of brewing the potion. "
"Willen is quite dissatisfied with this."
"Because he was injured while fighting monsters, he needs a sum of money to sustain his life until his injuries recover."
Su Ziyu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and his expression gradually became serious.
It seems that life is indeed not easy for the witcher.
"The villagers found out that he was injured." Fan Tesing exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "Then these people lied to Willen and said that there was some money hidden in the village warehouse, and they used it from behind while Willen was not paying attention. Weapons struck him."
"It's a pity that these people underestimated the reaction speed of a demon hunter. Willen avoided the fatal vital point. This premeditated sneak attack did not kill him."
"Then he lost control."
"Willen killed all the villagers in that village, leaving only a little girl."
Su Ziyu frowned even more when he heard this, and asked softly: "What about him in the end? How did you deal with him?"
Fantersin did not answer this question, but asked instead: "What if it were you? If you were asked to deal with such a demon hunter who had massacred ordinary people, what would you do?"
"I..." Su Ziyu's expression suddenly became hesitant and he murmured, "Maybe I will let him go."
"It's not his fault after all."
"Those people did not give him the compensation he deserved, and even attacked him because he was injured."
"This kind of behavior deserves death!"
Su Ziyu assumed the identity of the demon hunter. If he risked his life to help the villagers kill the monsters, and those people not only refused to pay, but also wanted to kill him in a sneak attack, then Su Ziyu The fish will definitely go berserk.
The blow at that moment was very terrifying for a demon hunter who hunts monsters and protects ordinary people all year round.
It's not just about money.
The vast majority of witchers are not rich, and they only make enough money to live on.
If it is really about money, there are many ways to get money with the strength of a demon hunter.
"I killed him then." Van Tesin's fingers trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath of tobacco and said, "Because his sword was stained with the blood of innocent people."
Having said this, a bitter smile appeared on his face and he murmured: "What a pity."
"Now my sword is stained with the blood of ordinary people."
Su Ziyu remained silent.
Now he finally understood why Van Tesin had to hide his injuries from ordinary people when he was dealing with the water hag that day.
This is a very complex witcher.
He can bargain with clients for money and try his best to get them to increase their money, or he can set out overnight to help poor villagers kill harmful ghouls for a small reward.
Fan Tesin's strength is not very strong, but his back looks tall.
"Let's go." Fan Texin said as he put out the tobacco in his hand.
He turned his back to Su Ziyu, put his hands in his pockets, and whispered: "You have greater potential than me. Maybe one day in the future, you can rebuild the Demon Hunter Academy and restore our heritage."
Van Tesin is using his own life experiences to teach him more lessons.
He always told Su Ziyu that demon hunters are not heroes, they are just a group of experts in dealing with monsters, but Su Ziyu really learned a lot from him, even though his character has many flaws, But that couldn't cover up the spirit of this old demon hunter.
This is a lonely and strong soul.
Neither of them spoke anymore on the way back. Van Tesin went directly to see Ms. Enid, while Su Ziyu returned to his residence.
Melissa is still practicing White Crow Swordsmanship.
Su Ziyu looked at the sweat on the girl's face and said softly: "Go and rest. Today's training is enough."
"Okay. Tutor." Melissa put away her sword and nodded.
She walked a few steps, then suddenly hesitated. She didn't look back, but asked softly: "Is he leaving?"
"Yeah." Su Ziyu didn't choose to hide it.
Melissa's figure stood there for a moment, and then returned to her room.
She didn't say anything, maybe she had expected this day.
the next day.
Su Ziyu saw Fan Tesin who was ready to go, and beside him was Melissa with slightly red eyes. Fan Tesin came over and patted Su Ziyu on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this to you."
"Leaving today?" Su Ziyu said with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"Yes." Fantersin lowered his voice and said, "Ms. Enid will take action during this period. She can still be trusted for the time being."
"If you feel it's too dangerous give up."
"Someone will come to help you after a while."
"We still have people at Jackdaw Castle. If you have no place to go, you can go there!"
There are still some witchers left in this world.
Van Tesin mentioned Jackdaw Castle more than once. This cooperation is more like an attempt, because both the sorceress and the demon hunter are finding it increasingly difficult to survive in the southern continent. They have both opened up the northern continent and stood here. The idea of a firm footing. The witcher academy has long since been reduced to ruins, and now the surviving witchers are wandering around the world. Fantersin also has his own plans, but no one knows what agreement he reached with Ms. Enid.
