Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 111 The Burning Lower Valen
George smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. He was a decent person and didn't like to speak ill of others in person. At most, he only complained when he was depressed.

Wayne has no scruples in this regard, he said to Borch in a joking tone:
"Human beings are divided into classes. Borch, like a powerful person, has been educated since childhood, has enough connections, and has many ways to deal with things, so he will appear polite, even if he is an enemy, meet each other There will be no loss of etiquette."

"But the life of the people at the bottom is very difficult. Not to mention reading and literacy, many people can't even eat enough. In order to survive, they don't have any principles to stick to. Principles, ideals, kindness, and justice are none of them. Something to be desired."

"The poorer the place, the more it relies on barbarism and violence. I have heard a saying that it is called "poor mountains and evil waters, troublesome people". That's what it means."

Borch nodded thoughtfully. He was born with a golden key in his mouth. He was enshrined by the Zerikan tribe when he was a young dragon. Life is not well understood, nor can they imagine their lives.

The three chatted a few more words about this matter, and then brought the topic to the green dragon again.

George didn't seem to be able to drink very well, perhaps because he was a little depressed, and after drinking two bottles of mead, his eyes were already a little wandering.

He hiccupped, with some frustration in his tone, and said:
"I've traveled half of Willen and visited six or seven villages, and now I probably only know one piece of news."

"That dragon really exists, and it's a gray-skinned green dragon. Just the morning before yesterday, it ate a farmer's cow. It should have flown towards the swamp in Lower Valen."

"But in order to join you, I didn't chase it immediately, but returned to the crow's nest."

Down to Valencia?

Mentioning this name, the first thing that comes to Wayne's mind is the lady in the forest and the soul trapped in the heart of the tree.

It's just that they don't know whether the dragon's flying down to Valen was unintentional or intentional.

But no matter what, it was too late now, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so it was impossible to chase the green dragon at night.

So, after drinking and eating with his two friends, Wayne called Lisa over, settled the money for the wine and the meal first, and then asked:

"Lisa, is there any room here? Give me three rooms?"

When the little widow heard the words, she suddenly said in embarrassment:

"Sorry, guest, we basically don't have many tourists here, so there are only two single rooms in the store, and there are only two beds."

Wayne was not angry when he heard the words. He looked at George, who seemed to be drunk and smelled of alcohol, and then at Borch, who was fat and also smelled of alcohol.

After thinking about it, anyway, with the physical strength of a demon hunter, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't sleep for a few nights.

So he nodded and said:
"Then rent both rooms to us, and I'll take my friend back to the room first."

He stood up, and when he was about to help George up, Lisa pulled his wrist and said in a low voice:

"However, if you don't mind, I have two beds in my bedroom, and you can come to my place for the night as a guest."

When Wayne heard this, he glanced at Lisa in surprise, then at her five or six-year-old son who was sitting on a chair playing with building blocks, and nodded thoughtfully.

………………

Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

They stored George's mount in Lisa's tavern, and George also went to meet the baron here and reported on the progress of the dragon hunting mission.

The three of them took their weapons and equipment and left the crow's nest.

After leaving along the path until the village surrounded by wooden walls was no longer in sight, Borch recovered the golden dragon's real body in a hidden place.

Without delay, the two demon hunters immediately rode on the back of the golden dragon, and under George's guidance, they flew to Lower Valen Village in the Weren Swamp.

This is a slightly weird village. According to the information George heard, Lower Valen Village is famous for its lace garment manufacturing and processing skills.

Unlike other villages that were devastated by wild beasts and monsters all over Velen, this village seemed to be protected by some kind of power. Although it was located in the swamp with the largest number of monsters, it lived a more peaceful life than other villages.

Although George didn't know the exact truth, Wayne, who had played the game, knew that this village was actually a believer of Mrs. Lin Zhong to some extent.

And Mrs. Lin Zhong, these old monsters, hide many secrets. They came to this world even earlier than human beings, thousands of years ago.

There is a saying that the Lady of the Forest is the actual ruler of Velen, and they have ruled this area longer than the nobles of Temeria Kingdom.

If the nobles relied on soldiers and laws to rule this area, then the Lady of the Woods relied on fear and faith to rule Velen.

Their ears are everywhere in this desolate area. Many monsters and beasts are driven by them.

All the villages living in Weilun must make sacrifices to the lady in the forest, and the lady in the forest will indeed help these villages to live better in the difficult years. Of course, this kind of help has a price, and the price Very expensive.

The only thing that is certain is that the ladies in the forest are all monsters that cannibalize people. There may be tens of thousands of humans that they have eaten into their stomachs for thousands of years.

Thinking about the information he got from the game, but Wayne didn't say it, and he couldn't explain the source of his news.

Borch's speed was very fast, and it took about an hour to fly to the vicinity of Lower Waren Village.

However, the scene in front of their eyes let the three of them know that they were still late.

From a distance, a small village was burning, and the soaring flames lit up the nearby fields and wilderness.

About one-third of the houses have been swallowed by the flames. The wooden houses are like burning torches, causing the entire Lower Valen village to emit high temperature and flames.

It's a pity that although they guessed that the green dragon might have done this, they were not in the air. Seeing the flying figure of the green dragon, they didn't know if it had already left or was chasing the residents of the village.

"Go to the village first to see if there is anyone in need of help."

Boerqi didn't answer when he heard the words, but let out a clear dragon cry, then adjusted the flying angle, descended to a place tens of meters above the ground, and flew over from the sky above Lower Valen.

Wayne squinted his eyes and quickly observed the situation in the village, but the result surprised him a bit, neither good nor bad.

In the entire village, there were no shouts and wailing sounds from humans being burned or fighting the fire, nor was there any noise from fighting, and even corpses were not seen.

It seemed that the entire village had already evacuated.

He patted Bolch on the back and said loudly:
"Then let's go down. There are no living people here. We need to find the whereabouts of those villagers based on the clues on the ground."

"Perhaps they can tell where the green dragon has gone."

Borch didn't say much, and immediately found an open space that was not affected by the flames, and landed on the ground.

After he returned to his human form, Wayne noticed that George's expression was a little ugly, and he immediately guessed what he was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't think so much, George, even if you rode here yesterday, you may not be flying here faster than we are now. On the contrary, you may encounter more accidents because of getting lost."

Hearing Wayne's persuasion, George quickly figured it out, nodded and asked him:

"What should we do now? Wayne, you are the employer, you decide."

Wayne carefully distinguished the voices in the village, and after he did not hear any human calls, he thought for a while and said to George:

"No corpse was seen here, and no sound was heard. The villagers should have evacuated ahead of time."

"There are so many of them, if we look for them, it should be easy to find their footprints."

"We'll just follow the trail to find them."

George nodded, so he and Wayne separated to look for footprints on the ground, and as expected, they found it soon.

Indeed, as Wayne said, the number of evacuated people was not small, there were old people and children, such clues were quite obvious to the demon hunter.
