My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 75 Night Watch
Hearing Nick's words, Crown chuckled: "He doesn't seem to be rich, and he spends a lot of time. I imagine that extraordinary people should be rich in money."

The priest shook his head and said: "How is it possible?! It is true that the income of extraordinary people is much higher than that of ordinary people. If extraordinary people themselves do not have good manufacturing skills, their lives will be very tight.

Extraordinaries from long-established organizations such as the Church and the Warlock Guild are better off, as they can still receive a fixed amount of supplies every month.

The moment the official demon hunters came out of Kaer Morhen, they could only support themselves by hunting monsters to obtain extraordinary materials, and collecting some bounties when they were lucky. They had no additional income. "

He paused, looked at the setting sun, and said, "I'm going to talk to Geralt. You have an early dinner and go to the front to watch the night. I will replace you in the early morning."

"Wait a minute," Crown stopped the priest who was about to leave, "I still need your help. I can't go on vigil duty until 7 o'clock."

He pointed at himself and lowered his voice and said: "From 5 to 7 pm is a good opportunity for me to understand the true meaning of the law more deeply. During this time, it is easier to understand the operation of the law."

He was right, this time period is a good time for the Liver Golden Light Spell, which in the eyes of the priest refers to the 'Law of Fire'.

Nick's eyebrows raised slightly: "Okay, I'll go ahead and keep an eye on it first, and then look for the witcher at night."

He readily agreed and turned to leave, deciding that he would also study the Flame Bible more during this time.

Crown took out a bottle of holy water and drank it. Holy water was now his main means of quickly replenishing energy.

Pulling out the practice sword from the weapon rack, he started to practice the cross sword with his flame breath.

As his proficiency in breathing techniques continues to improve, he is able to keep the flow of life running for a long time during battle.

Time is like a trickle, flowing quietly without stopping. Under the setting sun, Croun looks focused, moving his sword as fast as flying, attacking Linglie.

The sky gradually darkened, the evening glow dissipated, and the moon showed its crooked smiling face.

The moonlight was as gentle as water, and Kroun was keenly aware of the indescribable coolness on his skin, so he stopped his training.

Drinking another sip of holy water, he ran back to the house.

Opening the window, the room was filled with bright light. He was bathed in the clear light and sat cross-legged on a cushion on the floor.

The thumb and index finger intersect, and the other fingers are naturally spread out. Both hands form moonlight seals, and the elbows are placed on the knees.

In front of my eyes, the silver full moon appeared; outside the window, the crescent moon looked like a hook.

Suddenly, an hour passed.

Crown put on the leather armor, picked up the sword, and hung the holster on his waist. Then he got up and came to the restaurant. He finished the meal left by the chef in a hurry and walked towards the church door.

. . . .

On a late autumn night, the dew is heavy, and one can feel quite a bit chilly when walking outdoors.

Crown saw that the ordinary people who were keeping vigil had put on thick clothes, and some even even put on fur coats.

Nick was currently wearing half chain armor, standing in the shadow under the tower at the door. Next to him, there was a slightly thin figure standing.

Hearing the footsteps, he looked back: "I thought you forgot the time because you were too focused."

"How could I forget? I have a strong sense of time and my meal was delayed for a little while." Crown came to his side, "Leave this to me. You can go back and rest early."

The priest pulled the armor around his neck, pointed at the person next to him, and said gently:

"Del will assist you in patrolling in the first half of the night, and Hull will bring people from the patrol team to help in the second half of the night. Just stay alert while you rest."

"Mr. Moya saved my life a few days ago," Del put his hand on his chest and bowed, "I will definitely cooperate." "You two already know each other, very good, see you tomorrow." Nick Pointing to the tower on the left, "Ring this bell in case of emergency."

"Understood." Crown looked intently and found a large clock half a man's height hanging under the tower.

The priest gradually moved away. Del pointed to the wooden house a few meters away and said: "This is the place where you rest at night. Just come out every hour to check on the situation. Let's go in."

"Don't worry, let's take a walk along the wall and take a look. Let's go to the left first."

"Okay", Del led the way, and the two of them walked onto the wooden frame under the wall.

"Wait a moment, and I'll take a look at the situation outside." Crown looked outside.

The tops of the wooden pile walls were sharpened to form a semicircle with the church door as the center. The illumination range of the holy fire happened to be five or six meters away from the outside of the wall.

At the edge of the light outside the wall, a blazing bonfire was lit. The light from the bonfire could only project three or four meters.

Looking outside, there is a thick gray fog. You can see that the fog is constantly billowing, as if there is something hidden inside.

"Sir, these fogs are very evil. Looking at them for a long time gives people an uncomfortable feeling like something is crawling over them," Del reminded.

"Thank you." Croun found that after staring at the thick fog for a long time, it gave people the illusion that he was being stared at by many pairs of eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and asked: "How many groups are the officers on duty at night? How many people are in each group? What weapons do they use? Is there anything unusual in the past few days?"

"Including the people on the tower, there are a total of sixteen groups. Each group of three people is equipped with one or two crossbows. The distance between each group is about 30 meters. It has been relatively stable at night these days. Occasionally there will be a few Crazy beasts rushed out of the gray mist, nothing unusual."

After lightly nodding and understanding the general situation, Crown pointed ahead: "Let's go, let's patrol quickly."

The two continued to move forward, and people greeted Del from time to time on the road.

Soon, the two of them reached the edge of the wall next to the outer wall of the church.

"Hey, the big blacksmith is here," a short, fat man wearing a peaked cap with a thumb-sized hole in the side and holding a cigarette greeted enthusiastically. Next to him stood two fifteen-sixteen-year-olds squatting. young people.

Croun saw that the fat man's cigarette was rolled very roughly and the paper was wrinkled. He must have rolled it by himself.A black crossbow hung on his left waist, and a wooden box was carried on his shoulder, which contained more than ten crossbow arrows.

"Balu, don't talk nonsense," Del scolded with a smile, "The knight is responsible for tonight's vigil. I will take him to take a look."

The short and fat man looked behind Del, immediately took out the cigarette in his hand, and stood up straight: "Hello, Lord Knight."

The two young men behind him quickly stood up straight: "Hello, Sir Knight."

Crown glanced at the three people opposite him and said, "Thank you, how did you monitor the outside area during the night watch?"

He wanted to understand how these people worked and see if he could achieve full surveillance coverage within a time period.

Baloo reached out and pushed up his hat, revealing his hairline that was very far back.

He said "hmm" and organized the following words: "Sir, the three of us each observe the time of a cigarette. The monitoring range is the three bonfires facing us and the adjacent bonfires on the left and right."

Crown suddenly moved forward and pressed against the wall. In the corner of his eye just now, he saw several figures flashing into the range of the bonfire.

"Sir, there are some monsters coming in over there." A rough shout came from the adjacent monitoring point, with an obvious vibrato.
