Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

Although the people in the village hated the demon hunters, no one really dared to challenge them thanks to the support of the bearded village chief.

After taking a short rest, Wayne and Geralt had a rather simple meal at Misha's house. It was really very simple, with only a few eggs and no oil or water at all.

Obviously, the life of these villagers was not easy. For the safety of her son, Misha might have prepared the best food at home to entertain them.

After chatting with Geralt at the dinner table, Wayne realized what the reward of five ducats was.

The Ducat is a currency of unknown origin currently only available in Kaedwin, Cintra, and the Skellige Islands.

A few years ago, when Geralt was carrying out a commission in Cintra, the price of a water ghost was two ducats, and in an ordinary tavern, one ducat might only be exchanged for an ordinary meal. .

In other words, Misha hired two demon hunters to work for him at the price of two and a half water ghosts.

Hearing this, Wayne looked at Geralt speechlessly. Although he knew that White Wolf's character was just and kind, he had to accept such a low price, which made Wayne sigh. It's hard to be a good person. .

This is no longer a waste of time. If their equipment is damaged at all during the battle, it will really be a loss-making business.

Fortunately, he also asked for lunch, otherwise it would be difficult to even fill his stomach with this little money.

After finishing the meal, it was time for the performance of the famous detective Geralt.

He called Misha and the bearded village chief to him and asked in detail about the information about Misha's two sons, their stature, appearance, habits, etc.

After learning from the two people about the area where the two young men often cut firewood and the general situation in the forest, they were ready to set off.

Wayne did not interfere in the whole process of this inquiry. He just took out a whetstone from the package and polished the steel sword inherited from Vesemir while thinking seriously about Geralt's The intention of each question and his thinking.

As a novice demon hunter, he needs to learn from the senior White Wolf. Investigation and reasoning are essential skills for a demon hunter to perform tasks.

After the inquiry was completed, everything was ready. Geralt and Wayne brought all the equipment needed for the battle and stored their mounts Carrot and their luggage with the bearded village chief.

Of course, in order to prevent this group of unscrupulous people from having any evil thoughts, the two did not forget to take out their weapons and seriously warned:

"If there is anything missing from our salute, then we will double it and get it back from you."

The bearded village chief is quite a sensible person and should not make any mistakes.

Based on the information they received, the two quickly left the village and entered the forest not far from the village.

They followed the route described by Misha, used the witcher's super senses, and searched along the tracks on the road. Finally, they found the area where the two young men usually cut down trees.

It was early spring. The Kingdom of Kovind was located in the northeast of the northern countries. The temperature was colder than that of several other countries. In this inaccessible forest, human footprints were quite obvious.

Geralt followed the footsteps and imparted his investigative skills to Wayne without reservation through oral instructions.

Wayne practiced while learning, and it finally took him more than half an hour to discover two bundles of firewood and an ax hidden by weeds in an inconspicuous patch of grass.

"It should be here."

Geralt touched his stubble-covered chin and concluded:

"Two young men encountered an accident here and lost the wood and ax because of the emergency."

He looked up at Wayne and said:

"Let's search around here to see if there are any footprints, blood stains or anything else."

Wayne nodded, turned on his witcher senses, and began to search for any possible clues near the grass.

To be honest, this kind of blanket search is not pleasant. It consumes time, has no fun, and consumes a lot of energy. It is simply a kind of physical labor.

But there is no other way. In such a wild place where evidence is scarce, only this stupid method can find the result.

After searching carefully for another ten minutes, Wayne still found nothing. However, Geralt, who was not far away, stood up, waved to him, and shouted:

"Wayne, come to me."

"I found a clue."

When he walked over, Geralt was crossing his arms, seemingly lost in thought again.

Wayne looked in the direction of his sight and soon found four rows of footprints on the ground. Judging from their shape and depth, two of the footprints should be Misha's two sons.

In just a few seconds, Geralt came to a conclusion.

"The good news is that there is no blood around here. At least the two children did not die here or in the mouths of wild wolves. They should have been kidnapped."

"The bad news is that it has been almost three days since the incident happened."

"For such a long time, no one knows where they were abducted and whether they are still alive?"

Wayne shrugged nonchalantly, pointed to the footprints on the ground, and said:

"No matter where they were taken, all we can do is follow the clues they left and keep looking."

Geralt had the same idea. He drew the sword from his back and said to Wayne:

"Let's go, take out the sword. Looking at the direction of these footprints, they must have been taken deep into the forest."

"Be vigilant at all times. Spring is here and monsters are beginning to revive. No one knows what will suddenly pop up in the forest."

………………

Time passed quickly, and it was dusk in a blink of an eye.

Although the environment in the forest is extremely complex, it is still unstoppable to two professional demon hunters with super senses.

Wayne and Geralt walked in tandem, one responsible for following the footsteps and the other responsible for escorting, moving forward in cooperation.

After walking in the forest for about two hours, passing through many obstacles, we finally came to a very secret cave covered by big trees.

However, before they could get close to the cave, several wooden bows and arrows were suddenly shot down from the giant tree near the entrance of the cave, accurately nailing them on their path.

No need to remind him, Wayne instantly put up a layer of Quinn shield for himself, and the steel sword in his hand also assumed a defensive posture.

And Geralt was even more straightforward. The moment the bow and arrow came down, he rolled like a donkey and hid behind a big rock.

Wayne carefully maintained Quen's shield and looked in the direction where the bow and arrow came from. At some point, six people wearing animal skins and holding bows and arrows were already standing on the branches above the giant tree. elf shooter.

One of the female elves with long black hair and sharp black eyes observed the two of them for more than ten seconds. Her gaze seemed to stay on Wayne's pointed elf ears for a long time before speaking in common human language:

"There are still two witchers."

"This is the territory of elves, why are you here?"
