From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

And not only Ace, but another old friend of his is still by his side.

The lion-headed long sword named "Sward" by House was shining brightly. A horizontal cut in mid-air tore a water ghost that was rushing in half, and then he used the thick plate armor to resist the other water ghost. The ghost's sharp teeth grabbed the opponent's chin and pierced the opponent's chest with the long sword.

It is used to kill water ghosts, which really means that the sword is covered with dust. House thought.

But it's okay, man. In the future, Lord Earl will definitely encounter more enemies, more dangerous enemies, and we have plenty of opportunities to show our talents.

Levin didn't know why House suddenly became so excited, and why he could run so fast wearing such a thick armor.

However, this small-town youth from Brokilon Town is not a warrior in itself, and he doesn't have House's excitement of robbing the enemy, and he doesn't have the strong desire to show off that Milva wants to show. The fewer enemies the better for him.

Sensitively dodging the water ghost's pounce, he slashed the last water ghost with a backhand, and Levin ended the battlefield. Then he searched the edge of the beach while guarding, and soon found everyone's target.

"My lord, I found that child's... body."

They even took a little work to put the kid back together.

Lan pointed to "York Joan" and said to Leo: "Your friend, take care of yourself."

Little Leo suddenly turned bitter.

But the boy did not refuse.

The crowd rode back to the White Orchard again, and the rumbling horseshoes attracted the attention of many villagers. When they saw a group of people heading straight towards the beekeeper's family, they couldn't help whispering.

"Could it be... that Yorkjoon found it? This Lord Lannister is really as rumored..."

"No, no, I think it may be that the more you think about it, the more annoyed this lord is, and he wants to settle accounts with the beekeeper."

"I can't tell... wait, is that Leo?"

Arriving at the beekeeper's house, House slammed on the wooden door under Lane's gesture, and the beekeeper's drunken voice came from inside:

"Which one is suffering from the plague? I don't have any honey anymore, and the lord took all my honey as taxes!"

The sweetness of honey mixed with the unpleasant smell of alcohol rushed towards the face, the beekeeper slammed open the wooden door with a grim face, and then his drunken face froze.

House sneered and said, "It's kind of your lord not to hang you for such a big disaster."

The beekeeper immediately collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely: "My lord, please be merciful... By the way, the law, sir, has also been deprived of the right to hang me by the king, and you can't either... You can't either right?"

Everyone looked into the house. Apart from the beekeeper, his wife was also so frightened that she knelt on the ground.

She was not thin, but her exposed arms and neck were bruised and purple, with bruises, pinches, and even small bloody mouths everywhere.

There was also a broken wine bottle on the ground, and some glass shards could be seen in the folds of his wife's clothes.

Lan En's lion eyes looked at the beekeeper indifferently. It was such a person who could unjustly kill a demon hunter who traveled all over the country by himself in the original book.

The beekeeper was stared at by those emotionless eyes, and completely lost the strength to defend himself. He really thought that Lan En came to settle accounts after autumn, so he could only lie on the ground and pray for mercy over and over again.

"I didn't come here because you offended me." Lann finally said, "I came here to clear my name as a demon hunter."

Leo walked into the house with a big cloth bag that was already half the size in his arms, and handed it to Yorkjoon's mother.

The woman seemed to have guessed something, she opened it tremblingly, and then burst into heart-piercing cries.

"Thank you, Earl, thank you." The beekeeper lay on the ground, not knowing whether it was for himself or his son.

"Look up and look at me."

Hearing the earl's indifferent voice, the beekeeper didn't dare to disobey. He raised his head tremblingly, and what he saw was a hand glowing with white light.

"You're not sure that the witcher killed your child, are you?"

The beekeeper seemed to have lost his soul: "Yes."

"Then why do you do that?"

"The child is gone. If you catch the demon hunter, you can use the demon hunter's horse and sword to give me compensation."

The corners of Lan En's eyes trembled. He knew that this was a normal phenomenon, but it was this normality that made people look around in a daze.

[Axie Sign] + [Charm], and at the same time his mana decreased like a pool with a gate opened.

"I judged you, and you repent because of it. Go and explain the truth to everyone you know, and let everyone in White Orchard know the whole story, otherwise you will forget all the beekeeping skills, understand."

The face of the beekeeper became guilty, and two lines of tears slowly flowed from his eyes: "I accept the trial, I am deeply remorseful, I will confess to everyone I know, and I will let everyone in White Orchard know the truth."

The magic value jumping off the cliff generally drops to a low point. If the magic power is used with the [Igni] spell, it is enough to reduce the lord's mansion of White Orchard to ashes. Two levels of [Charm] are really not enough for this level of hypnosis.

But worth it.

At this time, a systematic sigh came from my ears:

【Mission - Home Sweet Home - Completed】

Lan En didn't have the mood to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left.

Only Leo was reluctant, and before he left, he asked the beekeeper angrily: "Why do you do this kind of thing, why do you want York Joan to do this kind of thing, how could he go to Mr. Snake Eyes to ask for it?" What about the debt?"

The beekeeper is still under the influence of the [Yakexi] seal, he replied blankly: "I didn't let York Joan go out, he disappeared by himself."

Leo's eyes widened, and he suddenly looked at York Joan's mother in the room. At this moment, she was completely exhausted from crying and passed out.

"Leo, follow up." Seeing the boy falling behind, Levin hurriedly urged him.

Before going back to rest, Lann asked House to visit Leo's home, and put forward the idea of ​​taking Leo as an attendant on his behalf.

The couple didn't know what the Earl liked about Leo, but they were still grateful to Dade.

House also obeyed Lane's order and proposed that the couple move to Sintra, because according to Lane's memory, Leo was picked up by the wolf faction because Temeria was invaded by Nilfgaard and became an orphan. .

Now that Leo has been accepted as an attendant, there is no need to be stingy with the little effort.

It's a pity that the couple have no worries about food and clothing in White Orchard, Temeria is peaceful again, and they have more than one child, Leo, so they reject the idea of ​​going to Sintra, which is in chaos.

Lane didn't force it. Anyway, if he decided to keep Nilfgaard out of Sintra, then the Black Sun Empire would have no chance to reach Temeria. The couple should not have passed away early because of this reason.

The group walked back to the White Orchard Hotel in silence, using wine and food to suppress all kinds of emotions in their hearts.

In the end, after drinking a glass of Vizima beer, Milva asked Lan with a flushed face, "My lord, is that boy's death... because of his mother?"

Lan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, the boy is dead. It may be that his mother wants him to ask for the honey money back to make her husband happy for a while and save herself from being beaten; The mother relieved the pressure; or he simply couldn't bear the atmosphere at home and ran away from home, wanting to ask Colgrim for some living expenses before leaving; I have some worse guesses, but they don't matter anymore.

The result: the boy did not go home, but ran to the river outside the village alone, and died because of it. That's all. "

Mirva looked around with his eyes blindfolded, pulled the wine glasses of House and Levin, and poured down two more glasses of wine.

House frowned when he saw it: "This glass of wine will be gone after drinking, we must be properly frugal now."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Lane: "My lord, Mr. Enns specifically instructed us before we set off that we are no better than before..."

Lan waved his hand, looked at Milva's distressed look and asked, "Why, you seem to be particularly touched?"

Milva blushed, blinked her eyes twice, and suddenly leaned against Lann as if she was drunk.

House and Levine covered their faces at the same time.

Milva smelled like birch wood, mixed with the smell of alcohol, it was actually a bit sweet.

"My father... used to be very strict with me. He trained me to use a bow. I always let him down, and I was always told to cry by him...but I know he loves me." Mirva closed her eyes , "Why is there a father like a beekeeper?"

"Little Leo's house is also the same. I went to his house with House to see it. Their parents are not so much happy for Leo, as they are happy that the family has lost a mouth to eat, and they even want to ask for rewards... Are they selling children?"

"My lord, will Cintra do the same in the future?"

Lane sighed, but did not answer the drunken female servant's words. He just hugged him horizontally and sent him back to the room.

Time passed and twilight fell.

In Milva's room, the female archer murmured twice, rubbing her head against the pillow and cup from time to time.

As the night darkened, there was gradually no sound outside.

Suddenly, Milva's ears twitched twice like a female leopard, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Those eyes were still a little bit blurred, if you didn't look at the face that was still blushing, you couldn't tell it was someone who had drunk.

Milva sat up and saw the leather armor that had been taken off by the Earl, and the alcohol dizziness on his face immediately spread.

But then she saw her shirt and pants in good condition again, and curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

"cut."

Mirva turned over and got out of bed sensitively, with his armor back arched, he turned out of the window as if he was climbing a tree in the forest, and walked along the eaves of the hotel.

As she passed the window of Lane's room, she hesitated, and finally gave up the tempting idea.

Then she grabbed the window sill and hung her body in mid-air, let go, hit two rolls on the soft grass to release the impact, got up and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Medieval villagers didn't have any kind of nightlife, and they didn't even drink until it was too late. The guards got a rest because of the lord's resignation, and the new tax collector did not come to power, and there was not even a single person in the village for a while.

Suddenly, there were a few sounds of something collapsing in the village, as well as faint wailing of livestock, but they stopped quickly, without disturbing the villagers' dreamland.
