Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 294. 293. Day Demon Spirit
The residents of this small village warmly received Lan En and Poppy. At least on the surface, they were warm.

In addition to the front of Lan En, people will still subconsciously resist contact with the witcher.

The elder of the village is Mutter, who looks to be around 50 to [-] years old, and his face is gloomy after a long life of hardship.

The linen shirt on his body has become tattered and threaded at the corners, and he wears a pair of shiny leather boots on his feet.

He invited Lan to stay at his home tonight.

"We sincerely thank you, Master Demon Hunter. Those glowing beasts outside have made our village suffer for a long time. Every night, we honest villagers can only hide in our little dens and pray. Don’t even dare to look outside.”

At the dinner table, Lan En slowly ate the dinner provided by the village chief.

There is no new mushroom soup, and dry and hard bread. It is estimated that the flour is also mixed with acorn powder.

The elder's voice and emotion paint a picture of an honest and responsible village surrounded by monsters from nowhere and living a difficult life.

Lane looked up at him.

"That's a ghost dog, Mr. Mutter. You don't know this kind of thing? They are very famous among the people."

"What ghost dog? Master, we are all honest farmers, not the same as those green whores in the nearby forest who kill and rob. We don't know what kind of monster it is, and we don't want to know. We just want to be honest land."

He is lying.

When Lan En heard this, he made a judgment without even looking up from the soup bowl to observe his expression.

If he really didn't know the folklore that the ghost dog "comes after evil", why did he compare it with the "dryant who did all kinds of evil"?
It's just that he still doesn't know whether the evil that attracted these ghost dogs was done by the village elders or by many villagers.

In rural areas, it is not uncommon for villagers to cover up each other, or even cooperate with each other to do things that violate morality and law.

The matter of the three ghost dogs shouldn't be that bad, right?
Lan himself didn't have much experience, but he was going to finish the cormorant curse first, and then ask the experienced Geralt for advice.

So he directly asked the village elders if there was any special scenery nearby that was suitable for a tryst.

This is related to Baron Ham's lifting of the curse, so let him cooperate well.

But contrary to Lan En's expectations, this time he tried all kinds of bullshit in other villages, but he couldn't make him submit to Mutter.

On the contrary, the man seemed to want to blackmail him in turn.

"Aha! It's about the baron turning back into a human again!"

When Mutter spoke in an irrepressibly happy tone, Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly.

Sure enough, the next moment.
"Master! Master Demon Hunter! This is a big deal! You, you must not let this errand go to waste, right?"

Mutter swallowed nervously, but he didn't let himself avoid staring at Lan En's cat eyes.

"You, you should do us a favor, as long as we get rid of that monster wandering outside the village, we will cooperate in everything!"

The young man pursed his lips as he looked at the village elder who was afraid but insisted on the message.

Damn, I can really meet this kind of person! ?
Lan En used the name of Baron Hamm to get people from all villages to cooperate actively, because the deterrent power of Baron Hamm was really great in the hearts of the villagers.

The baron who can shake the grain harvesting shovel when collecting taxes is the biggest power holder for the villagers.

But what if the name of a baron is not the most deterrent in a village?

Like a monster wandering outside the village.

At this time, the other party had the courage to threaten the people sent by the baron.

The baron wants me to work, but I'm going to be torn apart by monsters now!If you don't help me deal with the monsters, who would do this job!
Mutter now looked at Lan En with a humble and pleading face, almost kneeling before him.

But in fact, he is now intimidating Lan En.

He thought that the witcher, like him, was a person who depended on the baron's breath for his livelihood, so he should not dare to mess things up no matter what.

In this era of information occlusion, even the village elders mostly don't have extensive knowledge.

Lan En shook his head, ready to reject him directly.

If you let Lan En meet a monster that ravages the village on the road, he will probably draw his sword and go straight up.but you're going to force him to work in a threatening gesture
Even if I want to kill that monster, I have to wait for you to learn a lesson before doing it.

Good people have to be pointed at guns?It doesn't make sense!
But just when Lan En was about to refuse, Mutter had already begun to describe the monster to him.

"It's an ethereal, shadow-like demon. She always appears at noon, and the villagers who see her seem to be baked dry! We have now been two full years, and we dare not go before noon to two o'clock in the afternoon. Get out of the house!"

"Please, be kind. Get this thing out of here!"

Lan En, who was about to refuse directly, stopped the words that were about to come to his lips.

His cat eyes looked at the pleading Mutter with a strange expression, but the words in his mouth changed.

".That's fine, no problem."

Mutter jumped up happily, walked out of the house, and announced the good news to the villagers, causing cheers.

Lan En, who was in the room, looked at the back of the village elder calmly.

The reason for the temporary change of mind is because of that monster
Day ghost.

It is said that when the sun is at its highest point, sometimes there will be a spirit that looks like a sunburned woman in a white robe.These are the day spirits, and most of them are formed by young women who died violently before the wedding.

With emotions of pain and resentment, dancing the demon spirit dance with your own phantom in a circle under the sun, ordinary people will be confused by supernatural forces and join in.

But in the end, all that's left is a charred corpse.

It's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it?
Two years ago, Freixnet fell out with his lover and was cursed to become a cormorant.And in this village where they had a tryst, demon spirits began to appear in the daytime two years ago.

This kind of female demon spirit born with anger from love to hate.

Lane felt like he was about to catch a clue.

"Sir, we can't be sure that it's the day spirit. Farmers' words are always inaccurate, because they lack learning and always like to exaggerate."

Mentos carefully reminded Lan En not to rashly determine the type of monster just because of what the village elder said, and make a battle plan based on it.

How many master witchers have died on this.

"I understand, let's go and see for ourselves tomorrow."

As a demon hunter, Lan En has always maintained a cautious style.
