Demon Hunter and His Hut

"The Witcher and His Cabin ()"

Duke Agroval opened his eyes in a daze. He felt his body floating up and down, and his eyes were hazy.

His whole body seemed to be wrapped in icy sea water, suddenly he twitched violently, and there was a sharp pain behind him, it felt as if something had pierced his butt from behind.

"Where am I?"

"Guards!" He opened his mouth and shouted loudly, but there was only bubbles floating out, and he was suddenly swallowed a mouthful of salty sea water.

Then, two strange figures appeared in the blurred vision, and they spoke a language that the Duke did not understand.

Then a bigger pain came from behind.

"Did it go deeper?"

There was only time for this thought to come up, and then the poor Duke completely lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, when His Excellency the Duke opened his eyes again, he found that everything around him became clearly identifiable.

"It turned out to be just a dream."

"I must set off immediately, and I must never let those two return to the port alive!"

He said to himself, but the next moment his movements suddenly froze, because what he spit out was a language he had never heard before.

But it was very strange that this weird tone seemed very suitable at this moment, and then he saw the surrounding scene clearly.

Coral seaweed, and unknown sea fish swimming past.

Looking down, he saw his slender fish tail from the waist down.

"ah!"

"my leg!"

It turned out that the pain he felt before was not piercing, but something growing out of his body.

He raised his hand in horror and pressed his chest.

The texture is soft, with obvious fat. But fortunately, it didn't turn into two groups of imaginary things.

But soon, the poor duke sadly discovered another thing.

Only the tail of the fish remained under his body.

Where did the most important thing hide?

The tail of the fish swayed, and he struggled to jump out of the water, but soon two black shadows came from behind, and he lost consciousness again in a daze.

"Xinnaz told us to keep an eye on him, but I didn't expect the effect of this potion to be so good. Does this mean that we can secretly capture some humans and transform them into our appearance?"

"It's useless. This kind of transformation has natural defects. It is said that even if they become like us, they will completely lose their fertility."

"Fertility... Fertility..."

Duke Agrobal felt that the whole world was dark.

After a long time, a strange legend appeared near Cape Brimwood.

Many people who have fished or pearled by the sea have said that they occasionally encountered a strange mermaid far from the shore when the sun was setting.

Every time he appeared, he was very abrupt. Although he would attack anyone, he kept asking a question.

"Did you see my baby?"

"Did you see my baby?"

Especially for men, several strong fishermen were scratched by the monster several times.

It's as if his purpose is not to kill but to take important parts of these men.

Gradually, this incident became known to more and more people, and later people who lived by the sea told this story to their children.

Especially the boys at home.

At the end of the story, adults always tell their sons earnestly, "Boys must learn to protect themselves outside, otherwise your treasure will be stolen by monsters..."

As for the duke title of the territory, it is much simpler.

Less than a year after the Duke disappeared, the mother of the Duke who still had a charm gave birth to a boy.

It was declared to the public that this was the posthumous son of the Duke of Agroval. After all, the Duke is notoriously romantic, and it seems that it is not uncommon to accidentally make a few girls' bellies bigger.

But then things got a little weird.

The duke's son was not like himself, who unexpectedly became very interested in poetry when he grew up.

It is said that later he even planned to give up the title of succession, and instead wanted to become a world-famous bard.

Like the one known to all.

Dandelion.

…………

Seeing all the big ships sinking gradually, everyone was overjoyed, but everyone took what Roger said just now as a joke.

Being able to summon a sea beast dragon is amazing enough.

As for cutting off a ship with one sword.

Even in the legend, no one dared to make up such nonsense.

"What should I do now? I've been busy all day, but I haven't earned a single coin." Dandelion said with a sigh.

"I always feel that it's cheaper to let that guy drown." He said angrily, and he didn't know what to think.

The sun is deflected, and if they pick up the pace, they should be able to get back to the tavern before the sun goes down.

"Shall we go back?" asked the poetess.

"No, it's better to wait until it gets dark. There may be the Duke's guards gathered near the pier." Geralt shook his head.

At this time, the mermaid looked at Roger, and her attitude had completely changed.

"Dear demon hunter, you avoided a war. I thank you for those people who did not shed blood. From now on, you will always be our honored guest."

After speaking, she took off a necklace around her neck, opened the top shell, and took out a bright blue pearl from it.

"This is the tear of the ocean, as a testimony of our friendship, take it, as long as you travel at sea, you will not be hit by the storm."

"Farewell, friends of mankind."

The waves supported her body and gradually sank, until finally she winked at Roger, "No matter when I come here, I am willing to take a potion for you, change your legs, and be your bride for a day."

"I'm really looking forward to that."

The sea water turned into foam, and the mermaid disappeared without a trace.

Dandelion babbled, then looked at Roger curiously, "There is something wrong with her last smile, I always feel that woman is seducing you."

"Don't be fooled by her. Her whole body is green. Maybe your body will be dyed after you roll together."

"To be honest, you have better choices." He glanced at Ashe intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.

"Shut up, Dandelion!"

The female poet's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave Dandelion a hard look.

"I'm here for your own good."

Dandelion muttered something under his breath, and soon he perked up.

"What a wonderful blue sky, my inspiration is as turbulent as this ocean wave. When I go back, I will write a story between a witcher and a mermaid."

He thought for a moment.

"A mermaid did not hesitate to take potions for her lover, she took off her fish tail and grew her legs...but in the end she didn't get the love she wanted, and chose a greater sacrifice..."

"She blessed her lover and watched him fall into the arms of a girl with small eyes..."

"At the end she turned into foam and disappeared into the sea."

"It's so beautiful, I'm so moved to cry!" Dandelion sang in a chant voice.

"If you dare to mention a girl with small eyes, I will definitely kill you!" Ashe threatened fiercely.

Geralt muttered helplessly, "Who would listen to such nonsense?"

"What do you know?"

"I write songs not to convince people, but to impress people. Why am I telling you this?"

"You don't understand anything." Dandelion snorted.

His thoughts quickly shifted to another problem.

"And now, Roger the Great Dragon Rider."

"Where should we go?"
