Demon Hunter and His Hut

"The Witcher and His Cabin ()"

"Do you still remember the countenance of that Duke?"

Dandelion laughed and drank the wine in the glass, "That's really interesting, I will definitely write him into my next poem, and then let the stupid image of the Duke spread everywhere."

"Keep a low profile, Dandelion, if you don't want to have your throat cut in the middle of the night, you'd better restrain yourself." Ashe was a little helpless.

They went out excitedly, but in the end they had an unpleasant incident.

"Don't you think..." Seeing Roger's indifferent face, Ashe asked a little strangely.

"It's nothing, Geralt can handle it alone."

"We can continue to wait here, but I am not worried about him now, but other things." Roger frowned, and he always felt that the Duke seemed to have other plans.

Making things difficult for them also seemed a bit deliberate, as if he was determined that Geralt would agree.

After lunch, Ashe went back to her room to rest. She drank too much wine last night, and she is still a little groggy.

Dandelion looked left and right but took the initiative to lean over.

"She likes you very much."

"Ash has always been a curious girl. If she likes Geralt, then I will definitely object strongly. After all, the matter between Geralt and Yennefer is enough to make people feel bad."

"But if it's you..."

"The day after tomorrow is Ashe's birthday. Prepare a gift. I think she will be very happy."

After speaking, Dandelion gave Roger an ambiguous smile, then got up and left.

He has a busy schedule, and I'm afraid he won't be back at the tavern tonight.

What surprised Roger a little was that Geralt did not show up either. It seemed that he should set off directly after investigating the clues.

Time flew by, and when the three of them met the next morning, they discovered that Geralt hadn't returned all night.

But just when they were about to go out to search, Zelister led a group of people to come to the door.

"Surround them, and no one can leave until the matter is investigated!"

"What are you doing?" Dandelion called.

"I should ask this question." Zelister sneered, "I'm looking for your companion, the white-haired witcher!"

"After investigating the clues yesterday morning, he drove away in the boat we provided, but until now, no trace of him has been found near the pier."

"We have reason to suspect that he didn't complete the commission at all, but fled with the deposit paid in advance by His Excellency the Duke!"

"This dirty liar dares to embezzle even the Duke's money!"

"That's impossible, Geralt won't do that," Dandelion yelled, and then he seemed to think of something.

"He must go to carry out the entrusted task, maybe...maybe there was an accident, no, you must immediately send someone to find him along the direction he left!"

"He's in danger!"

Dandelion rushed forward, but a tall and strong figure suddenly stopped in front of him, and he was caught off guard, almost knocked to the ground.

"Want to run?!" Zelister sneered.

"Even if an accident does happen, he should help the Duke solve the problem after taking our money, not to mention that dirty bastard may have already escaped!"

"Arrest them, I'm going to bring them to the Duke, and check them out!"

Zelister waved his hand, and the people around him followed suit.

"Go away!"

"I think there must be something wrong. What does this matter have to do with us?" Dandelion's attitude changed very quickly, but Zelister stopped talking and just smiled indifferently.

"Geralt won't run away. He must be in trouble. Since you guys don't want to send anyone, give us a boat and let's go find him!"

Ashe stood up bravely. Although her voice was trembling, her eyes were firm.

"Miss Ashe." Zelister smiled.

"You are the Duke's guest, I am willing to believe what you say, but the two of them can't, if you get on the boat, how can I guarantee that you will come back here?"

"You can send someone to follow!" As soon as she said the words, Ashe felt that her proposal was very stupid.

"Needless to say, stay and wait for everything to be investigated."

Zelister took a deep look at Ashe, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then a powerful hand grasped his neck tightly.

"You said Geralt didn't come back, where did he go?"

"You... ah... stop!"

Zelister screamed. He felt that his neck was about to be crushed, and he tried to open his eyes wide. He really couldn't understand why the witcher who was standing behind the crowd just now suddenly appeared behind him.

"Let them go, and take us to the pier!"

Roger said coldly, without giving Zelister a chance to answer, he carried the tall man like a chicken and left the tavern.

A few servants around him were eager to attack Roger, but they fell to the sky after just meeting him, and they didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Zelister was sweating profusely, and at first he wanted to threaten a few words, but before he finished speaking, severe pain came, and he felt his thumb was crushed to pieces.

"Shut up, don't make a sound until I don't ask you."

Roger's voice was indifferent, Zelister didn't even dare to breathe out in fear.

Along the way, Roger also found out what happened. After the investigation, Geralt originally planned to go back to the tavern to discuss with Roger, but the Duke at the side urged him repeatedly, so he had no choice but to leave early.

Because of the rumors of the monster's attack, no sailors were willing to go to sea, and Geralt could only steer the boat alone to a place they called Dragon's Tooth Reef.

There were many hidden reefs there, and large ships could not approach them, but no one saw Geralt until it was dark, so everything that happened later happened.

"Get on board!"

Zelister looked at his twisted fingers and then at the paddle at his feet, "My hand..."

"If it can't be used for rowing, I can kindly cut it off for you."

"No, no, I was the best sailor around before I took over the whole dock."

Zelister nodded quickly, and sat up quickly, with no trace of injury visible at all.

"By boat?"

"I'm so seasick..."

Dandelion was full of reluctance, while Roger took Ashe into the boat on his own.

"You can choose to stay here, and your body should be hung by the duke on a nearby mast when we return."

"Still the one with no clothes on."

Before Roger finished speaking, Dandelion jumped up, and at this moment, there was a lot of voices in the distance, and it seemed that a large group of people were approaching here.

"Row the boat, or choose to die here now."

Zelister closed his mouth wisely, looked at the crowd in the distance with tears in his eyes, and set off.
