Chapter 294 293 Day Demon Spirit


Chapter 294 293. Daytime Demon

The residents of this small village received Lan En and Poppy warmly. At least on the surface, they were warm.

Beyond Lan En’s front, people will still subconsciously resist contact with the witcher.

The village elder is a man named Mut, who looks to be in his forties or fifties. His face is gloomy after living in poverty for too long.

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 En to stay at his home tonight.

“We sincerely thank you, Master Demon Hunter. Those glowing beasts outside have caused our village to suffer for a long time. Every night, we honest villagers can only hide in our own homes. He buried his head in prayer in the den, not even daring to look outside. "

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

The mushroom soup is nothing new, and the bread is dry and hard. I guess the flour is mixed with acorn powder.

The elder described a picture of an honest and dutiful village living a difficult life under siege by monsters from nowhere.

Lan En raised his eyes and looked at him.

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

"What ghost dog? Master, we are all honest The honest farmers are different from the murderous and evil green bitches in the forest next to them. We don’t know what the monster is, and we don’t want to know. "

He is here. lie.

When Lan En heard this, he had already made a judgment without even raising his head from the soup bowl to observe his expression.

If he really didn't know the folklore of the Nether Dog 'coming from evil', why did he compare it to the 'tree spirit who does all 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.

What happened with the three ghost dogs shouldn’t be that bad, right?

Lan himself has little experience, so he is just planning to get the Cormorant Curse thing done first, and then ask the experienced Geralt for advice.

So I 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 expectation, this time he tried to pull off the tiger's skin with great success in other villages, but it failed to make him submit to Mutt.

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

“Aha! This is about the Baron turning back into a human being!”

When Mutt spoke in an uncontrollably happy tone, Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly.

Sure enough, the next moment.

"Master! Master Demon Hunter! This is a big deal! You, you can't let this job go wrong, right?"

Mutt swallowed nervously, but stared at Lan En's cat eyes without letting himself avoid it.

"You, please do us a favor. As long as we deal with the monster wandering outside the village, we will cooperate with you in everything!"

The young man pursed his lips as he looked at the village elder in front of him who was frightened but still clinging to the message.

Damn, what a chance to meet this guy! ?

Lan used the name of Baron Hamm to get people in each village to actively cooperate because Baron Hamm's intimidating power was indeed great in the hearts of the villagers.

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

But what if the title of Baron is not the most intimidating 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 about to be torn apart by monsters now! If you don't help me deal with the monsters, whoever is willing to do this job will do it!

Mut now looked at Lan En with a humble and pleading face, almost kneeling down before him.

But in fact, he is the one threatening Lan En now.

He thought that the witcher, like him, relied on the Baron to make a living, so he should not dare to mess things up no matter what.

In this era of limited information, even village elders mostly do not have extensive knowledge.

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

If Lan En were to meet a monster that was ravaging a village on the road, he would most likely just draw his sword and go up to it. But you have to use coercion to force him to work

Even if I want to kill the monster, I have to wait until you have learned a lesson before I do it.

Do good guys have to be held at gunpoint? That doesn't make sense!

But just when Lan En was about to refuse, Mutt had already begun to describe the monster to him.

“That is an ethereal, shadow-like demon spirit. She always appears at noon, and the villagers who see her feel like they have been baked dry! We have not dared to go out for two years now. Leave the house before noon to two o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Please, be kind and get rid of this thing!"

Lan En was originally ready to refuse directly. But he stopped what he was about to say.

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

". That's okay, no problem."

Mut jumped up happily and walked out of the house, announcing the good news to the villagers, which caused a round of cheers.

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

The reason for the temporary change of mind was because of the monster

Daytime demon.

It is said that when the sun reaches its highest point, a demonic spirit that looks like a sunburnt woman wearing a white robe sometimes appears. These are day spirits, most of whom are transformed from young women who died violently before their weddings.

With emotions of pain and resentment, he and his phantom form a circle in the sun and dance the dance of demon spirits. Ordinary people will be confused by the supernatural power and join in.

But in the end, all that will be left is a dried corpse.

This is a bit too coincidental, isn’t it?

Fresnet had a falling out with his lover two years ago and was cursed to become a cormorant. In this village where they once had a tryst, daytime demons started to appear two years ago.

This kind of female demon spirit was born with the anger of love and hatred.

Lan En felt that he was about to get a clue.

"Sir, we are not sure yet that it is the day spirit. The farmers' words are always inaccurate because they lack knowledge and always like to exaggerate."

Mentos cautiously said Lan En was reminded not to rashly determine the type of monster and formulate a battle plan just because of what the village elder said.

Many master witchers died on this.

“I understand, let’s go to the site to see for ourselves tomorrow.”

As a demon hunter, Lan En always maintains a cautious style.
