"Kid Roy, remember your promise and don't act rashly! For every additional life under your command, there will be an additional fragmented family."
The boy sighed helplessly, and waved at the fat woman with a serious face, "Mother Nannick, I promise! I promise that I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, so stop lecturing me!"
"Will you come back to see us?" Yaer, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, asked reluctantly.
"On the day you and Aerola II get married, I will also come to give gifts! And take care of those two little guys for me, don't let them be bullied!"
"Huh..." In the morning light, Roy looked at the Temple of Meritelli, which was hidden in the mountains in the distance, and heaved a sigh of relief.
This place is the place where he has lived for the longest time since he was born.
However, his ambition is to have a good time in Fang World!
…
The weather became gloomy and gloomy. In the city of Elland, Roy, who was dressed in a gray cloak and covered his head with a hood, quietly came to the west of the city center, in front of the prince's palace surrounded by a high arched wall.
Crossing the bustling downtown area, a group of white rose knights with shiny plate armor and long swords on their waists patrolled around this behemoth. They looked around vigilantly, and quickly locked on Roy's path. A suspicious figure came into view!
"The guy in the cloak is talking about you, stand up for me and raise your head!" The guard holding the sword commanded in a loud voice, and Roy looked up to reveal his strange appearance without short hair.
However, the leading knight noticed his dark golden eyes that were different from ordinary people, and slightly restrained his expression, "Your Excellency is a witcher?"
"Roy the Viper School Witcher..."
"Another Viper School." The brown-haired, brown-eyed, tall knight muttered in a low voice, but he couldn't escape the latter's ears.
"I am the Cleveland Knights of the Knights of the White Rose. Your Excellency rushed to the palace without hesitation, presumably to accept the request from the bulletin board. Please come with me, the captain of the guard has been waiting for a long time."
"Entrust?" Roy was puzzled, and the feeling in the dark told him that Guvihir was lying quietly in the palace, which meant that his teacher should be inside.
"And a commission that Leto can't handle?"
With that in mind, he followed the knight through the long corridor with hanging pillars and entered a side room in the garden courtyard in front of the palace. Here Roy saw a familiar face, the dwarf Kramer sitting with a frown.
After not seeing him for more than a month, the dwarf, who was as strong as a bear, has lost a lot of weight.
His heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose.
"Roy... You're here..." The dwarf smiled reluctantly, his expression not as open-minded as before, with a hint of guilt.
"Kramer, why did I see you alone, where did that guy Lesso go?"
"This..." The dwarf sighed and gestured for him to sit down.
"It's all my fault... Roy..." The dwarf sighed, his bloodshot eyes suddenly staring at the boy suspiciously, "Wait, why do you feel like a different person?"
"Have you grown taller, where have your eyebrows and hair gone, and your eyes were normal before, why are they dark golden now?"
"I have survived the grass trial and became an official witcher. During the trial, my appearance has changed a little, but it's normal... Now let's go back to Leto."
"Alas..." The dwarf's big black-haired hands tightly covered his face, and he lowered his head and said in a sullen voice, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak, Master... Master Leto is missing."
"Missing?" Roy glanced aside in surprise, and he could feel that Guvisher was nearby. "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"Do you remember that I went to the temple some time ago to ask the master for help?"
"Looks like delegation is tricky..."
"Well, it all starts with this embarrassing commission. On the way to the palace just now, did you notice anything weird around you?"
Roy squinted and recalled, and easily recalled the situation along the way, "There are very few pedestrians... Most people are deliberately bypassing the road here."
"That's right, now a small number of foolish people call the Prince's Palace a cursed death palace in private."
The dwarf said with a heavy expression, "Three months ago, at that time, the two had already gone to the Temple of Meritelli. A murder suddenly occurred in the palace of Prince Seward - a male servant died in the royal garden, and he died in a state of death. Horrible."
"However, this is only the beginning of the evil. A series of murders began to occur near the palace. The deceased were all murdered by the murderer in a bloody and cruel way. The corpses were also arranged in some very..." After a moment, "Disgusting posture."
"Oh, how disgusting... Even a veteran like you feels uncomfortable?" Roy's dark golden pupils showed curiosity, "Let's hear..."
"The specific deceased information will be given to you by the coroner later."
"The murderer is cunning and sophisticated, and is definitely a repeat offender. The Knights of the White Rose dug all the murder scenes three feet into the ground and found no valuable clues."
"The murderer fiercely inflamed the faces of the Knights of the White Roses." The dwarf's tone was strange, with a bit of schadenfreude in his distress, "Prince Seeward has fired back several times over this matter. People are about to fall out of favor completely, and go back to Vizima in disarray!"
Roy glanced at the dwarf strangely, and the latter closed his mouth,
"I'm sorry, I've lost my way... The palace guards have always had a hard time with the Knights, and we'd love to see them punished!"
"However, Prince Seward's concern is growing, so let our guards join in to help with the investigation. You should know very well that Dennis Kramer is a rude, let me be a bodyguard, or wield a weapon to fight, It's guaranteed to be done beautifully! But let me use my brain to catch the cunning murderer, I'm not that guy! Had to turn to Master Letho."
"Master is worthy of being a professional."
"Three days ago, he figured out the time and place, and let us set up an ambush outside the palace. Sure enough, we caught a sneaky figure, and the ambush crossbowmen pulled the strings and set up arrows and started aiming, but actually... Hide for that guy!"
A trace of shame flashed in the dwarf's eyes, "The murderer moves so fast that it doesn't look like a human being! It's just a flash of lightning in the dark night, and I don't know how he noticed our ambush, so he focused on drilling into the dark and narrow alley, and we couldn't chase it at all. On, only Master Letho is agile and sticks closely behind him!"
Having said this, the dwarf's voice paused, "It took a while before we found traces of fighting, a few pools of blood, and fragments of leather armor that fell from the master. His People are missing."
Roy's face sank, and the ominous feeling grew stronger.
"I have survived the green grass trial, you must not have an accident!"
He rubbed his temples, suppressing the restlessness and restlessness in his heart,
"Where's Leto's weapon?"
"Yes, there is also the master's sword. I have always kept it in a nearby room for the master, and it is very safe now." A look of surprise flashed in the dwarf's eyes, "Kramer is old, but he still has some eyesight, I saw it right. If so, it is a nearly lost ancient Weisher sword, and the skill of the casting master is not inferior to that of the elder Broval."
"A goblin's handwriting..." Roy explained, before the dwarf continued to ask, "Since Leto is temporarily away, please give me the sword and take me to the place where he disappeared."
He didn't believe that the witcher's skills would disappear so silently
There must be some clues left.
With his new powers, the witcher's senses came into play.
