"No peeking..."

"No peeking..."

The long voice echoed in the forest until there was no more sound.

Chapter 12 Aftermath

"Tap, tap, tap"

Two figures came out of the woods one after the other, holding a naked five- and six-year-old child in their arms.

The tender skin of these two children was covered with fresh blood, and their pink and jade-carved faces were pale.At this moment, the small body is curled up like a baby, as if in a nightmare, and the tightly closed eyelids tremble from time to time like an electric shock.

Aaron's blood splashed on his back, and the two children passed out on the spot, without seeing their father's tragic death at all.

This is a small consolation.

"Obviously there is the blood of the sun. If we know how to refine the universal antidote, Aaron will not have to die."

"There are not so many ifs. This is Aaron's fate. He broke his promise to the priestess. Death is the punishment he deserves." The demon hunter's expression was cold, as if he was telling a kind of natural truth.

Roy agreed with his words, but staring at the newly added record, his eyes and nose were twisted into a ball, with a strong sadness, "Kill the cursed one--werewolf Aaron, experience value +200, demon hunter Lv4 (830 /2000)".

This is the most tangled time for him to gain experience, not the body, but the mind.

There is no doubt that the werewolf is not an innocent person, who breaks his oath, and can even say that he will repay his favor with revenge!But his love for his children is sincere and true, representing a beautiful side.

"Little devil, why bother to be sad? This man has chosen to redeem himself." The witcher suddenly sighed, "And you didn't see it? He has long been determined to die."

……

Most of the members of the acrobatic troupe who went out to search for Aaron have returned. They were stained with light blood, especially Cantila, a girl from Zerikhan, caressed the bright machete lazily. A bit of a female beast.

When Roy and the demon hunter returned, the two strange children in his arms immediately attracted everyone's attention.The women cleaned up their bodies in a motherly manner, found two more blankets to wrap them in, and dried and warmed their cold bodies with a bonfire.

"We took care of a few water ghosts in the swamp, but unfortunately we didn't find the mark left by the boss. Master Lei Suo, what's going on with you, where did you find the two children?"

The witcher and Roy exchanged glances. They had discussed it many times on the way, but in the end they decided to tell the truth as Aaron asked, even though it might cause trouble.

"The real situation is like this, everyone should be mentally prepared..."

After a long talk.

Everyone in Sea Scorpion has different expressions. Some people think that the demon hunter and Roy joined hands to kill Aaron; Shocked, he slowly accepted what they said.

Fortunately, the main members of Sea Scorpion are believers. During their daily relationship, they more or less discovered some of Aaron's suspicious behaviors, but they did not expose them.

"I've always felt that Ade, Ali, and the boss were too intimate and tacit understanding. They were all his own flesh and blood... No, they are orphans now. The boss is a competent father... But after so many years of friendship, I'm afraid we won't Understand him, why don't you tell us the truth directly?" Evelyn's eyes were red, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she wiped the crystals from the corners of her eyes sadly.

"Probably doesn't want us to be sad. Boss is always like this, thinking of others... Taking Ali out to hunt every night is actually secretly protecting everyone." Cantila gritted her silver teeth and sighed, "What about the monsters? , the Zerikan make friends, whether he is a man or a ghost!"

Amos, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly said, "It's true that the boss is weird, but he has never done anything that would harm the interests of the sea scorpions. He deserves to be the head of the group! But I don't believe in demon hunters!"

He suddenly turned his head and stared at Roy and the two fiercely and questioned, "As far as I know, demon hunters are cold-blooded and ruthless, and will never let any non-human creature go. I don't believe you are willing to help a werewolf! You have deceived the boss, And killed him?!"

"We killed the man to satisfy his wish." The demon hunter glanced at Amos indifferently, "He is willing to use his own life to atone for the sin and bring the two children back to life."

"When I was playing Gwent cards with you, I realized that you might have something wrong here." Roy pointed to his head, and interjected, "You think we deceived him, and then we foolishly come back and make up a ridiculous story ? Then let me ask you, could it be possible that the two children, A Li and A De, were conjured out of thin air?"

"Eh..." Amos's eyes froze for a moment, and he wanted to say something, but Aveline glared at him and swallowed the words back.

"I believe them," Evelyn sighed, "With the character of the boss, he can indeed do this kind of thing... The most urgent thing now is to deal with the funeral of the boss, and we must not let him just expose his body to the wilderness like this."

"His body is still over there." After Roy beheaded him, Aaron returned to his human appearance, "I will take you to see it later."

"But according to Aaron's last words, I hope that you will burn the body on the spot and bring his ashes. If you have the opportunity to return to the Rivendell Valley in the future, you will sprinkle it into the Nevi River...his wife Hina is also buried In the river."

Everyone in Sea Scorpion was moved when they heard the words,

"The boss will not tell others casually about this kind of thing." Aveline concluded, "There is nothing to doubt now."

"It's good for you to understand," the boy sighed. "Actually, Aaron has been tortured by the curse in his heart, and he has long wanted to reunite with his wife in another world."

……

The acrobatic troupe stayed on the spot for two days, retrieved Aaron's body, burned it for a long time with the fire of the wood and the sign of the witcher's Igni, barely burned it into a pile of broken bones, and then collected them.

The entire carriage team was gloomy, and everyone mourned for the former boss for a quarter of an hour, and many people's eyes were flushed.

"Okay, the dead are gone, the boss will definitely be able to reunite with his wife in the Goddess' kingdom... the top priority, we should discuss, how to arrange Ali and Ade?"

"Of course we stay in the regiment and take care of it!" Cantila patted her plump chest and blurted out.

"Also, Sea Scorpion has to elect a new regiment leader as soon as possible! He must be majestic and convincing!" Amos stood up eagerly to express his opinion.For a moment, everyone glared at him, and he flinched back.

"Aaron explained before his death that the position of regiment leader will be handed over to Evelyn to succeed him."

After Roy said this, everyone present had different expressions, and most of them readily accepted it, but Amos was a little unwilling.

But it was useless for him to object alone, and the matter was settled.

The clown held Fire Eater's arm and took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and pleaded stammeringly, "Everyone knows that Collins and I have been in love for many years, but it's a pity that we can't have the crystallization of love. The two of us have always regretted, Very helpless."

Froz's tone became agitated, and an excited blush appeared on his ugly face, "Boss has always taken care of us and treated us like family members. We are grateful to him and want to repay him because we have no chance, but today ...If everyone has no objection, Colin and I want to adopt Ali and Ade, and to repay Boss Aaron's kindness in taking them in, it is also a wish in our hearts. We will definitely treat them as our own and take care of them meticulously! "

"Yes, yes!" said the clown's mate, Collins Day, in a rough voice.

"Please help us!" The two figures, one tall and one short, joined hands and bowed heavily to the crowd. Their heads were about to drop to the ground, and they did not get up for a long time.

"Forehead……"

Everyone present was caught off guard. Although they had never discriminated against the same-sex couple, they subconsciously felt that they were different from normal couples.

How could they rashly adopt Aaron's son and daughter.

Everyone was very conflicted, Evelyn and Amos hesitated to speak, wanting to refuse but worried about hurting them.

And Roy observed for a while, and took the initiative to help them out, "Ade and Ali's situation is more complicated, and they are not suitable for any ordinary people to adopt. They have been living in the form of kestrels and owls for five years. Their personalities are quite different from those of ordinary people. For example, owls rest during the day and make noise at night, feeding on voles and other small animals and insects. And kestrels like the feeling of rushing down from the sky... Can you understand it?"

"And Aaron's original intention was for you to send the two children to the Temple of Elland Meritelli...It's a good place, with many kind and gentle people."

Chapter 13 Island City

"Ade, stop!"

Evelyn covered her forehead, her beautiful cheeks wrinkled like a bitter melon.

The little boy in front of him is avoiding the pursuit of the clown Froz, running around in the convoy like a noisy rooster. He seems to feel that he still has a pair of wings, with his arms raised back awkwardly, arched back, buttocks, Stretching his neck, he imitated the appearance of the kestrel in the past and kept "flying", but he couldn't fly.

While he was shaking his arms, he was still making a crisp, immature childish voice of "Duck, Duck", but his tongue seemed to be clumsy, and his tongue was sticking out and curling up. Aveline had to worry about this. Children can bite their own tongues.

"Oh, what a naughty boy."

And the other people in the convoy were holding hands, watching this farce with both sorrow and amused - Ade's liveliness slightly dispelled the shadow of the group leader's suicide.

"It's fine to be lively." Roy said happily, "It's better than being sad and depressed. Anyway, don't tell them about Aaron's death. Wait until they are older."

"But that little guy, Ali, is even more tricky." The boy thought of the ironic scene he saw in the carriage—the little girl mistakenly thought she was an owl, and wanted to stand on a wooden stick to rest like before.

However, her body structure is completely different from that of birds. She couldn't stand up at all and fell all over her head. Silent like a china doll.

The most troublesome thing is that the vocabulary these two children can understand is quite limited, they can't speak human language, and their minds are worse than children of the same age.It's just that they are more sensitive to kindness and ridicule.

"Hopefully they can get back to normal soon!"

……

On a gloomy day, Sea Scorpion had left Shire Village for a week. After entering the territory of the Princely Kingdom of Ireland, they continued westward and arrived at the capital, Ireland City.

This huge city sits south of the Pontar Valley on the west side of the Mahakam Ridge.

By the way, the Pontal Valley is located at the intersection of Temeria, Redania, Aedirn, and Kaedwen, the four largest kingdoms in the north, and is one of the most important military zones in the north.

There is a saying among the folks that whoever controls the Pontar Valley can control the entire north!

Its importance can be seen.

As the jumping platform of Pontal Valley, the status of Elland City has also risen accordingly.It is not only a military center but also a commercial center. Although it is not as large as Novigrad, the largest city in the north, with a population of 3, its permanent population exceeds [-].

The huge population base brings huge business opportunities. Merchants from all over Ireland gather here to set up merchant associations. Carriages carrying specialties from all over the world gather here, and trade is prosperous. Along with other various architect associations, The Blacksmiths Association is also flourishing.

It is not far from Vizima, the capital of Temeria, with convenient transportation.

It was a busy morning, and there was a long queue in front of the city gate, and heavily armed guards were tirelessly checking the passing crowd one by one.

Seeing this, Roy greeted Evelyn, the interim leader, and made an appointment to meet at the hotel in the city, and then took the demon hunter away.

"You haven't been to the city of Ireland for a long time, right?" Roy explained to the puzzled man. "As far as I know, Demon Hunters are not very welcome in Ireland now."

It is now close to the beginning of 1261. In Roy's memory, around 1254, seven years ago, the White Wolf, who became notorious as the butcher of Bravikan, was disgraced in the city of Elland.First, he was insulted by the White Rose Knights as something worthless, and then reluctantly participated in a duel that could not be fought back at all.

Although the White Wolf saved his life in the final duel, it further angered the White Rose Knights, and even Prince Seward and the Templar Council, who valued the Knights very much, complained about him.

Roy felt that if the identity of Leto's demon hunter was revealed, he might be implicated by the previous actions of the white wolf.

Lesso shrugged and didn't take it seriously, "I haven't been to Elland City for more than 20 years. But I haven't heard of any country in the north that prohibits the passage of demon hunters."

"Is there no monsters in such a big city? As long as there is a commission, they will not reject us." Although the tone was flat, the big man was very firm. "We have to go to the city to replenish some alchemy supplies."

"Okay, let's try first to see if we can get in. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way."

Roy looked over the crowd - the Temple of Melitelli was located just outside the city, built on the hillside.After resting in the city, I will rush over next.

……

The two didn't do much to cover up.

Roy wrapped his black hair with a white towel to cover his pointy ears, while Leto was wearing the same simple and plain linen clothes as him, instead of the usual conspicuous clothes of the witcher, even the iconic There are no school emblems, double swords, or potion belts.Like a tall and stout farmer, he mixed into the crowd and lined up.

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. When Roy passed under the guard's eyes, a cold voice behind him made him freeze involuntarily.

"Head up!"

When he turned around, he found that the guard was staring straight at Lei Suo, and quietly clenched the weapon in his hand.

The soldiers at the entrance surrounded them with piercing eyes, and the surrounding atmosphere became extremely dull, with the smell of needles falling, and the pressure made people almost out of breath.Pedestrians who came and went couldn't help but stop.

"Yes, it's you, the big guy, look up for me!"

When the big man heard this, a sharp arc split at the corner of his mouth and quickly covered it up, and his clenched fists loosened.

With an indelible sigh, he obeyed the soldier's order.

Roy, who was watching from the side, felt sore in his heart. No matter how skilled a demon hunter is, he sometimes has to bow his head in the face of secular forces.

"Yo, it turned out to be a witcher!"

The soldier holding the spear lifted his visor, a look of frivolity appeared on his shriveled face.

"I've never seen such a distressed demon hunter... Do you think your eyes will return to normal like a chameleon when you put on the people's costume?! Haha, a freak is a freak!" He exchanged a message with a group of soldiers. Eyes, suddenly burst into laughter.

This group of soldiers needed to raise their heads to look directly at the burly witcher, but their pointing and laughing were like facing humble beggars kneeling on the ground.

Leto endured everything without changing his face, until the soldiers had had enough laughing.

"Okay, back to the topic, do you want to sneak into the city, sir?"

"What do you mean mixing in?" The bald man frowned, "I'm not being inspected openly? Why... don't you think Elland doesn't welcome demon hunters?"

"That's not true... But, there is an adult who is very interested in you, I'm afraid you have to meet him first!"

"Is this Ellander's law? You must meet that person before entering the city?"

"No, this is an order."

"Bross, take this demon hunter to wait! Tang Ge, go and call Thales Knight over, and say... the guy he's longing for is here."

"Wait!" Roy suddenly turned back and leaned over to the demon hunter, taking a deep breath under the surprised eyes of the soldier.

"I'm with him."

"What! I just said there is a problem," the soldier suddenly glanced at Lei Suo, and exaggeratedly sarcastically said, "Sure enough, this demon hunter has returned to his old job of abducting teenagers!"

"No, I am his apprentice, and in the future... I will also become a demon hunter."

Chapter 14 Knight of the White Rose

"Little ghost, you will inevitably be verbally attacked later," the demon hunter reminded suddenly, "No matter what, you should try to keep a low profile and calm, after all, this is someone else's territory."

"I seem so impulsive, without any discernment?" Roy dissatisfied, "Everyone understands the principle of 'do as the Romans do'."

"It's good to understand," the demon hunter nodded, and proposed a unique metaphor, "If you really can't bear it, treat them as mad dogs. Any modesty, self-deprecation, and compliments you have are bones. Feed them once... When they are full, they will naturally wag their tails...Especially effective for knights who think highly of themselves."
