Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

George smiled awkwardly and didn't speak. He was a decent person and didn't like to speak ill of others in person. At most, he only complained when he was depressed.

Wayne has no scruples in this regard, he said to Borch in a joking tone:

"Human beings are divided into classes, Borch, like powerful people, who have received education since childhood, have enough connections, and have many ways to deal with things, so they will appear polite, even if they are enemies, when they meet each other I won’t lose my etiquette.”

"But the lives of the people at the bottom are very difficult. Not to mention reading and writing, many people don't even have enough food in their stomachs. In order to survive, they have no principles to adhere to. Principles, ideals, kindness, and justice are not theirs. Something to aspire to.”

"The poorer the place, the more it relies on barbarism and violence. I have heard a saying that it is called "poor mountains and evil waters, troublesome people". That's what it means."

Borch nodded thoughtfully. He was born with a golden key in his mouth. He was enshrined by the Zerikan tribe when he was a young dragon. He has always been well-dressed and well-fed, with a lot of servants and maids. For the people at the bottom, Life is not well understood, nor can they imagine their lives.

The three chatted a few more words about this matter, and then brought the topic to the green dragon again.

George didn't seem to be able to drink very well, perhaps because he was a little depressed, and after drinking two bottles of mead, his eyes were already a little wandering.

He hiccupped, with some frustration in his tone, and said:

"I've traveled half of Willen and visited six or seven villages, and now I probably only know one piece of news."

"That dragon really exists, and it is a green dragon with gray skin. Just the morning before yesterday, it ate a farmer's cow. It should have flown away towards the swamp of Lower Wallen."

"But in order to join you, I didn't chase it immediately, but returned to the crow's nest."

Down to Valencia?

Mentioning this name, the first thing that comes to Wayne's mind is the lady in the forest and the soul trapped in the heart of the tree.

It's just that they don't know whether the dragon's flying down to Valen was unintentional or intentional.

But no matter what, it was already too late now. They were unfamiliar with the place and it was impossible for them to chase the green dragon at night.

So, after having a good meal with his two friends, Wayne called Lisa over, paid for the wine and meal first, and then asked:

"Lisa, are there any rooms here? Can you give me three rooms?"

When the little widow heard the words, she suddenly said in embarrassment:

"Sorry, guest, we basically don't have many tourists here, so we only have two single rooms in the store, and they only have two beds."

Wayne was not angry after hearing this. He looked at George, who seemed to be drunk and smelled of alcohol, and then at Bolch, who was fat and also smelled of alcohol.

After thinking about it, with the witcher's physical strength, even if he didn't sleep for a few nights, it wouldn't matter.

So he nodded and said:

"Then rent both rooms to us. I'll send my friend back to his room first."

He stood up, and when he was about to help George up, Lisa pulled his wrist and whispered:

"However, if you don't mind, I have two beds in my bedroom, and you can come to my place for the night."

When Wayne heard this, he glanced at Lisa in surprise, then at her son, who was only five or six years old and was sitting on a chair playing with building blocks, and nodded thoughtfully.

………………

Early the next morning, it was just dawn.

They stored George's mount in Lisa's tavern, and George also went to meet with the baron here to report on the progress of the dragon-hunting mission.

The three of them took their weapons and equipment and left the crow's nest.

After leaving along the path until the village surrounded by wooden walls could no longer be seen, Borqi restored the true form of the golden dragon in a secret place.

The two demon hunters didn't waste any time and immediately rode on the back of the golden dragon. Under George's guidance, they flew to Lower Valen Village in the Wellen Swamp.

This is a slightly weird village. According to the information George learned, Lower Wallen Village is famous for its manufacturing and processing skills of lace clothing.

Unlike other villages that were devastated by wild beasts and monsters all over Velen, this village seemed to be protected by some kind of power. Although it was located in a swamp area with the largest number of monsters, it lived a more peaceful life than other villages.

Although George does not know the specific truth, Wayne, who has played the game, knows that this village is actually a believer of the Lady in the Woods to a certain extent.

The old monsters, Mrs. Lin, hide many secrets in their bodies. They came to this world even earlier than humans, more than thousands of years ago.

There is a theory that the ladies of the forest are the actual rulers of Velen, and they have ruled this area longer than the nobles of the Kingdom of Temeria.

If the nobles rule this area with soldiers and laws, then the Lady of the Woods rules Willen with fear and faith.

Their ears are everywhere in this desolate area, and many monsters and beasts are driven by them. They are deeply rooted in this area and can be regarded as the strongest local snakes in Velen.

All villages living in Willen must make sacrifices to the Lady of the Woods, and the Lady of the Woods will indeed help these villages to live better in difficult times. Of course, this help comes at a price, and the price Very expensive.

The only thing that is certain is that the ladies in the forest are all cannibal monsters. Over the past thousands of years, they have probably eaten tens of thousands of humans.

Thinking about the information he got from the game, Wayne didn't say it out loud, and he couldn't explain the source of his information.

Borch was very fast, and it took him just over an hour to fly to the vicinity of Lower Wallen Village.

However, the scene that greeted them made the three of them know that they were still late.

From a distance, a small village was burning, and the flames soaring into the sky illuminated the nearby fields and wilderness.

About one-third of the houses have been engulfed in flames, and the wooden houses are like burning torches, causing the entire Lower Wallen Village to radiate heat and flames.

Unfortunately, although they speculated that the green dragon might have done this, they were not in the air and saw the flying figure of the green dragon. They didn't know if it had already left or was chasing the residents of the village.

"Go to the village first to see if there is anyone else who needs help."

Bolqi did not answer when he heard the words, but let out a clear dragon cry, then adjusted the angle of flight, descended to a place dozens of meters above the ground, and flew over Lower Wallen.

Wayne squinted his eyes and quickly observed the situation in the village. The result surprised him, which was neither good nor bad.

In the entire village, there were neither shouts nor screams from humans being burned or fighting fires, nor was there any noise from fighting, and not even a corpse was seen.

It seemed that the entire village had already evacuated.

He patted Borch on the back and said loudly:

"Then let's go down. There are no living people here. We have to find the whereabouts of those villagers based on the clues on the ground."

"Perhaps we can also tell where the green dragon went from their mouths."

Borch didn't say much, and immediately found an open space that was not affected by the flames and landed on the ground.

After he returned to his human form, Wayne noticed that George's expression was a little ugly, and he immediately guessed what he was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't think so much, George. Even if you rode here yesterday, you might not be flying faster than we are flying here now. Instead, you may encounter more changes because you get lost."

After hearing Wayne's persuasion, George quickly figured it out, nodded and asked him:

"What now? Wayne, you are the employer, you decide."

Wayne carefully distinguished the sounds in the village, and after indeed not hearing any human calls, he thought about it and said to George:

"No bodies were seen here, and no sounds were heard. The villagers should have evacuated in advance."

"There are so many of them. If we look for them, we should easily find their footprints."

"We just follow the tracks to find them."

George nodded, and then he and Wayne searched for the footprints on the ground separately. As expected, they were soon discovered.

Indeed, as Wayne said, the number of people evacuated was not a small number, including old people and children. Such clues were quite obvious to the demon hunter.
