Chapter 37 37. Gos Velen
Although Lan En’s vigilance about the “cannibal gang” is still deep in his heart, he has already told the people in charge of Velen’s security patrols. Guess, what else can be done?
A lone hero, going straight to Huanglong?
Don't be kidding, the cannibal gang must have at least dozens of people. Only a group of this size can develop the "rituality" represented by the palm necklace.
Demon hunters are not gods, and no one is stupid enough to think that one sword can deal with dozens of swords.
With dozens of swords, the mage will chop you to death!
As for Philip's choice, Lan En had nothing to say.
The crime of stealing children is difficult to compare with cannibalism in terms of severity, and the same is true in terms of influence.
And the scale of child theft is obviously larger, so there is nothing wrong with giving priority to this case.
Lan can only hope that those cannibal gangs will not cause any big trouble before Willen's security forces are freed up.
The young man didn't stay in the crow's nest for long, so he rode away with his damaged school armor.
Before leaving, he asked Philip to leave a message to Oridon, saying that he needed to go to Gos Velen and did not want to break the contract.
Blacksmith Ivan would come to Crow's Nest regularly to buy raw materials. It was not difficult to send messages, and Philip readily agreed.
There is nothing much to say about traveling alone. Fortunately, Mentos also has outstanding chat functions.
And Lan En can also entertain himself by humming a few little songs if nothing happens.
Although when humming, Mentos always suddenly stopped talking.
But this at least prevented Lan En from confiding his feelings to Poppy.
To be so lonely as to talk to a horse - this seems a bit too pitiful.
Passing through swamps and villages, and occasionally seeing abandoned houses and farmland, the scenery of Willen has a gloomy beauty, but it is extremely bright in the composition of colors.
Flowers of various colors, clear sky and white clouds, trees and pools
Lan En felt that even if he took the camera from his home world and retouched the photos he took, they would not have the same color contrast.
The running journey passed quickly. He followed the map and arrived at this coastal city that he had never been to before.
Surrounded by high walls, towering steeples, the top of the tower is shining. On the other side of the city is the sea. The gray-green sea surface reflects the morning sun, and white sails are scattered among it.
This is the first settlement worthy of the name "city" that young people have seen in this world.
Although Mentos estimated that there could be at most five thousand residents in the city, it was already considered a large number in this world.
In the poor and vicious land of Velen, it is even more like a "pearl".
Lan En wore a hooded cloak and buried his cat eyes in the shadows.
The city gate guards are people who have seen the world, and this mysterious dress is completely indifferent to them.
No one can escape the few silver coins from the city entrance tax.
Lan En carefully counted out enough silver coins from the money bag and handed them to the city gate guard.
The tall and tall mysterious man carrying two swords and wearing a cloak, sitting on a horse and counting money seriously, is a bit inconsistent.
After Lan En left, several city gate guards talked to each other.
“The man just now, I thought he was quite a big man when he was wearing a cloak. But the way he counted money was no different from that of an ordinary businessman.”
“With two swords on his back, I I thought he was a powerful mercenary. Who counts the entrance fee for a famous mercenary? Can the person counting the money be a famous person?"
Amidst the laughter of the city gate guard, The corners of Lan En's mouth twitched slightly.
"I don't know how to save money and manage money. I deserve to be a city gate guard for the rest of my life! Fight on the street!"
"Indeed." Mentos immediately followed like a dog, "I dare to ridicule you, you are going to die. Way! He can't even catch up with a guard captain in this life!"
The young man suddenly raised his chest and raised his head, his face reserved.
It could be seen that he was very comfortable being licked, "Take it back, Mentos."
Zhi Nao Xin was like a mirror, and his tone immediately changed into a polite and thoughtful elegant tone. .
"As you wish, sir."
The young man nodded with satisfaction.
After entering the city gate, it is equivalent to stepping onto Caddo Street.
According to Philip's introduction, this street runs through the entire city, linking the city gate and the sea gate.
Extending from this street across the sea gate is equivalent to stepping on the bridge to Thanede Island.
That is the island where the sorceress academy, Arethusa, is located. The witcher's eyes followed the street directly through this small city and looked towards Haimen.
There is already a light blue flat light curtain covering it, like a blockade?
Have you ever heard that Arethusa College has a closed management system?
Lan En's brows frowned slightly.
In fact, most of Gos Velen's entire economy is contributed by the mages in the academy.
Based on this economic relationship, the way the college and the town get along should never be this "separated".
But Maoyan looked at the reactions of the people around him. When he passed the light curtain, he didn't squint. He was neither nervous nor afraid.
Not even curious.
Lan En then shrugged. It seemed that the problem was not big. Maybe this was the daily life of the academy.
The people here are very receptive to spells. After all, even the princes and nobles in remote areas may not see as many spells in their lifetime as the residents here.
Maybe I can come here to find business in the future.
Lan En was thinking about it all the time.
Following the guide described by Philip, he soon found the blacksmith shop that he heard had "passed the master's certificate in Novigrad".
The young man looked at the store and repeatedly confirmed that he had found the right one.
There is no stove, no forging table, and no grinding wheel. From the outside, it looks like a clothing store.
Typical wooden structure commercial building.
But as soon as he entered, Lan En immediately knew that he had come to the right place.
This is indeed a "clothing store", but what is displayed on the display racks is not some high-end tights made of soft velvet.
But pieces of strong and sturdy armor.
Lan En's movement of entering the door disturbed the bell at the door, alerting the store that a customer was coming.
Inside the store, there was a stocky turbaned dwarf and a blonde girl with braids.
They were busy working on something behind the counter. Well, it cannot be said to be "busy work".
In Lan En's opinion, that action was obviously playing cards.
When the dwarf saw a guest coming, he stood up suddenly as if he had been granted amnesty, "Aha! A guest is coming, get up Yuna, don't make people feel unprofessional!"
If he hadn't flipped the card table with a big movement when he stood up, Lan En might have believed in his enthusiasm for his customers.
His opponent at the poker table didn't believe it either, and the girl with blond hair and braided hair screamed.
"Fergus! You were about to lose just now, you son of a bitch, don't even think about defaulting on your debt! Give me that earth element!"
Wow, you are quite aggressive.
The young man was slightly stunned.
The dwarf has a very stereotypical giant rosacea, but his groomed beard cannot hide his wrinkle-free face.
This guy is eighty years old, so he is considered a young dwarf.
He rushed from the card table to the counter and began to greet Lan En.
In this way, even if it enters the reception state, the girl can only stare and stop.
"Welcome, guest. Welcome to Master Tull Butcher's smithy."
"If you need anything, you can tell me. I am Fergus, the chief apprentice of this blacksmith shop."
"If you are interested in the products on the shelves at this time, then we will clearly mark the price and pay. You can get the goods with money. If you have custom requirements, please explain it first, and we will inform the master personally according to the difficulty."
