Chapter 43 43. Sudden Change
Chapter 43 43. Sudden changes
Lan En and Bernie still continued their daily work.
In the tavern yesterday, the young man thought about whether to persuade Little White, because his need for the petals of Baise Baise was not too urgent.
But then I thought about it, as long as I didn't go into the woods around the village, the area around the road was indeed safe, so I followed White's lead.
The two again searched for traces of monsters along the shore of Lake Fike.
At this time, Lan En was sitting on the bow of the boat. His heavy weight and armor made the draft of the bow a bit deeper than the stern of the boat where Bernie was sitting.
The young man was pressing his temples hard.
Last night was still a "Mentos Stirring Coke Bottle" night.
After more than half a month of cooperative hunting, Lan En's [Trace Detection] skill acquired from Bernie has reached 87% proficiency.
This proficiency, combined with the demon hunter's extraordinary senses, has actually made Lan En's retrieval ability beyond the limits that ordinary people can achieve.
"This way, let's go."
His direction was too far off.
After taking off the bandage, he sewed himself a long leather glove out of leather. The gloves that had been scratched by the water ghost now became a pair again.
"I just came to ask for directions, nothing else."
The pupils of the cat's eyes shrank sharply, and Lan En turned his head sharply.
Just at this time, there was a sound of collision from the bottom of the ship. The ship shook and then stabilized.
The two of them waited for less than ten seconds before a decent young man with brown hair appeared in front of them riding a horse with the same hair color as his.
Bernie felt light all over and looked at Lan En teasingly, and the two of them prepared to move to the next battlefield.
The young man rubbed his nose and inadvertently showed three shining gold rings with precious stones on his fingers, which greatly strengthened his credibility as a man from Novigrad.
"Dang!" sound.
"Lyndonville? Where are you going from Novigrad to Scorchwood Village? Can't you go directly to the inn at the crossroads? We are in the south of Willen, and Scorchwood Village is in the northwest. It's not that bad."
Stable technique, grasp of own organs, precise cutting and suturing
For Lan En's primary goal, this level of proficiency is actually enough.
"Both of you, thank you both for taking the time to get close to me."
In less than two minutes, his silver sword was thrust into the mouth of the last water ghost, and the tip of the sword came out from the back of its head.
Also, the sound of horse hooves just now wasn’t just one horse, was it?
What are the other people doing?!
The decent young man smiled and tightened his bearskin shawl until it covered his chest.
The numerical value may not seem large, but Lan En's goal is not to become a reliable surgeon.
"I walked all the way from Novigrad to the village of Lyndonville, which was considered to be in the territory of Willen, but my guide only took me there, and he contracted the disease and died. But my goal was the village of Burnt Wood. I heard that there was a
A powerful witch doctor, I am here just for him."
The two have become very familiar with the cooperation.
But at this moment, not far from the tidal flat, a cry suddenly came from the road that had turned into dry ground.
After all, everyone knows that the rich people there are really rich.
Perhaps his knowledge of monsters is still poor without the guidance of a teacher. But in terms of tracking ability alone, he is by no means at the bottom even among demon hunters.
He has a crossbow arrow stuck in his belly!
Not far away, a respectable young man who called himself Willis laughed and drew his sword from the side of the saddle.
There is no time to use the auxiliary function of the seal, or even the secret knowledge of the Bear School.
"It's not bad! That's enough, it's a tidal flat again." The young man muttered.
The soles of his feet stepped into the wet and sticky mud, sinking deeply into it. This feeling made the young man purse his lips in discomfort.
It didn't matter, the Mentos analysis beep never stopped!
Willen is close to the sea, and the entire province is often windy. However, due to the difference in air temperature near the lake, the wind will be even stronger.
As we all know, rich people are generally believed to be less likely to do bad things that involve physical violence.
How he tracked, distinguished traces, lured, and divided the wolves, according to him, almost used up all his knowledge and ingenuity that time.
Bernie also believed most of what the other party said, but he was still a little confused.
It wasn't until his instinctive reaction passed that Lan En realized that his Quen seal collapsed and a crossbow arrow flew away!
But that’s not enough! There are more than two horses making the sound of the opponent’s hooves!
There is someone else! What is that person doing? Where is that person?!
A pair of cat eyes glanced around in an instant, but found nothing.
Because the atmosphere was very good at that time, he was very lively and talked about it in detail.
"Okay, friend, you don't have to get close, just stand there. If you meet someone who needs help on the road, you should help, because no one knows whether you will have such a day. But you also know that the world is not right now.
Taiping, we should be more vigilant, it’s good for both of us. Yes, this distance is enough, I can hear what you say clearly.”
Suddenly, Lan En's heart palpitated, and his heart was beating wildly at this moment!
There was no time to draw the sword from his back, Lan En stepped on the mud, not caring that the huge force had completely buried the soles of his feet in the tidal flats.
So Lan En and Bernie were not too nervous at the moment.
"We're here, let's start working. By the way, you didn't sleep last night, okay?"
Bernie lay on his back with a dazed look on his face.
There is no swamp witch, but four water ghosts are picking up dead fish and crabs on the beach to eat.
But looking at the environment, Lan En also felt that it was normal.
It seemed that the wind was too strong and disturbed his breathing on the horse. The decent young man took a deep breath and stumbled over his words.
Didn’t he just enter Velen? Why did he know everything that happened a few days ago?
"Who says otherwise? First Meritelli was desecrated by cannibals, and now there is no news about the missing children. I understand your caution."
Bernie held his hand on the hilt of the sword and squatted down to check the marks.
Bernie jumped out of the boat first and began to adjust the docking posture of the boat.
But because of this, the smile on his face became more friendly.
Lan En now handles opponents of this level very cleanly.
"Please call me Willis, son of a Novigrad merchant."
"Let's go, wear heavy armor, I don't want to stay on the beach any longer now."
In order to show his friendliness, trustworthiness, and respectability, the young man also controlled his horse and took two small steps back.
After a while, Bernie's tracking skills led the two of them to find a group of monsters.
Take big strides towards Bernie!
"Queen!"
Thanks to the practice of water ghosts, swamp witches, and occasionally evil ghosts and ghouls, the current proficiency of this skill has soared to 55%.
His primary goal was to perform surgery on himself and put the gene seed into his chest.
Mentos captured this feeling keenly, and in an instant, the biological brain laid out several logical chains for reference.
The sound was accompanied by the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.
Lan En raised his eyebrows. These people were already very close, but with his own senses, he actually heard it at the same time as Bernie.
Lan En put down the hand that was rubbing his forehead and rubbed it on his face to stay awake.
"That is to say, the only thing left before the plan is the magic potion."
Now the smelly wind is making the big trees on the shore roar, and coupled with the howling of the wind itself, even asking Mentos to block the noise is probably not very effective.
With the calculation ability provided by Mentos, he can even replay what happened in a location within a week to a certain extent in his mind!
The Sherlock Holmes in the novel is nothing more than that.
"Hey! Please wait!"
Seeing that the witcher was still struggling with the mud on his boots, Bernie took a step forward.
Regarding the monster material about the water ghost, he can hardly let go of it.
At this moment, Lan En could only use the most traditional Quen seal - and then blocked himself, who was blessed by the seal, in front of Bernie.
When Lan En lay down at night, a full 20% of his proficiency suddenly came in, and the feeling was really stronger than the first day.
And if there are no strange deformities or lesions, the contribution of the water ghost to [surgery] skill proficiency has become very little.
Then there was no more dissection of the body, and he just walked deep and shallow in the mud to find Bernie.
Until there was a sound of flesh falling into the muddy water from behind.
A smooth bearskin shawl, clothes with dense stitching, and a leather hat. He is a rich man.
Yesterday, Bernie told Lan in detail about a time when he hunted a pack of wolves on the road.
What concerned the young man the most was the [Surgery] skill, which was related to his personal military upgrade.
Lan En, who originally had no intention of asking passers-by, suddenly felt something was wrong.
His bearskin cape could no longer cover his chest.
A necklace of human hands slipped out of the shawl.
