As a demon hunter, Geralt has been wandering around the northern kingdoms for fifty years, except for the more than ten years of training in Kaermohan.

Living at the bottom of society for a long time has allowed him to meet many good people with noble character, but more of them are despicable, shameless and rotten people with no moral bottom line.

This is not entirely their fault. After all, in such a chaotic underlying environment, even if you can control yourself from harming others, you cannot control other people's crimes.

If you want to survive, you have to use ferocity or brutality to protect yourself. People who are too kind will have been eaten up by others long ago, and not even the bones are left.

He has long been accustomed to all kinds of abuse, ridicule and provocation. Those rotten people are like shit on the ground. If you really compete with them and step on them, you will only splash those filth all over your body. , making myself uncomfortable.

So Geralt didn't take it to heart at all when it came to the taunts of Yarpen's dwarf squad and Clinefield's marauders.

He led his mount Carrot and Yennefer's black horse to the temporary stables and fed them water and fodder.

But as the saying goes, peers are enemies. Although Geralt ignored them, the people of the dragon hunting team would not let him go.

The youngest member of the Marauders, Kennet the Ripper, walked up to Geralt, spat on the ground, and said:

"White-haired witcher, you'd better warn your sorceress lover that dragon hunting must be left to professionals. Otherwise, she will offend a lot of people."

Seeing Carrot munching on the fresh forage, Geralt turned around expressionlessly, holding his steel sword in his hand. He looked at Kennet the Ripper with his amber cat eyes and said calmly:

"Have you already started dividing the spoils before we set off? Dragons are not that easy to deal with. Just a puff of dragon flame can burn you down to your bones."

"Of course, you can offend a powerful sorceress and a demon hunter who can use a sword before setting off. There are too many idiots in this world, and you are not missing one."

"My mission this time is just to protect Ms. Yennefer. I am not interested in your secret stabbing business."

"But if you try to harm this lady, see if your neck can survive the sword in my hand."

If he were alone, Geralt would definitely not warn them so bluntly, or even participate in such hunting operations.

But this matter concerns his goddess Yennefer, and no matter what, Geralt will not allow others to hurt her.

However, as well-known ruthless people in Redania, the three Clinfield Marauder brothers are not the kind of people who are afraid of trouble. For money, they dare to do anything, including robberies and banditry. Did a lot.

As the eldest, Buholt immediately winked at the two brothers. The other two understood it. Nischuka, the second eldest, quietly took out a crossbow from the luggage on the side and loaded it with arrows. The youngest Kennet the Ripper had already taken out a sharp boning knife and stood behind Geralt.

Geralt frowned, but he didn't expect that these three brothers were so bold and wanted to take action here.

This place is only a few dozen meters away from the king's tent. If you are not careful, you may be regarded as an assassin who assassinated the king and be surrounded by dozens of heavily armed soldiers and die.

However, even when faced with the three famous marauder brothers in Redania, Geralt was not afraid. He pressed the scabbard of the steel sword in his hand to the ground, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand and slowly pulled it out, revealing the fallen metal inside. A gleaming blade made of iron.

As one of the most powerful swordsmen in the north, he has considerable confidence in his swordsmanship.

Geralt narrowed his amber cat eyes and stared at the three brothers who were trying to attack him.

Although being besieged will put him at a disadvantage, as long as he seizes a flaw, his sword can take away a life.

Yarpan and his dwarf subordinates retreated a few meters away in a tacit understanding, assuming an attitude of not helping each other.

These bearded dwarves were quite happy to see this sudden battle.

Whether it is a demon hunter or a marauder, no matter which one of them is killed or injured, it is one less competitor for the dwarves, allowing them to gain more benefits in this dragon-slaying operation.

And just when the battle between Geralt and the Marauders was about to break out, a loud voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"This is a despicable siege, bullying the minority by bullying and attacking from behind, which seriously violates the code of chivalry."

"With the witness of the gods and the Holy Code of Knights, if you despicable predators want to lay siege to that damn mutant, I will not stand idly by."

The man who spoke was wearing a shiny silver full-body plate armor and holding a heavy two-handed sword in his hand. Although his true appearance could not be seen through the full-covering metal helmet, everyone present knew that this was Ike from Denesler, a powerful knight full of idealism, a psychopath with a crazy pursuit of justice.

Seeing his intervention, the dwarf Yarpan spat on the ground with disdain, knowing that this battle could not be fought.

If the three Marauder brothers had a 50% chance of winning against the Demon Hunter, then with the addition of a powerful knight as strong as an iron can, the three brothers would have no choice but to die.

Sure enough, when Buholt, the leader of the predators, saw this, he immediately winked at his two brothers, laughed and said:

"What are you talking about, Knight Ike, how could we do the despicable behavior of bullying the few? We are all righteous warriors, and we were inspired by the king to eradicate the evil dragon."

"It's just that the demon hunter spoke in a too aggressive tone, and we just want to persuade him."

It's a pity that the brainless Knight Ike doesn't know what it means to save face for others, and he doesn't know what it means to be tactful. He doesn't follow the predators at all, and still said righteously:

"Stop your despicable lies, predators. You don't deserve to call yourself righteous."

"It is precisely because the world is full of profit-minded and lying bastards like you that our world has become so ugly."

"Although I think that demon hunters are also evil existences, mutated creatures that are not allowed by the gods, but at least they will protect the people and understand the basics of right and wrong, good and evil."

"But despicable mercenaries like you, for the sake of money, even your relatives will betray you. Loyalty, honor, mercy, and trustworthiness are like paper to wipe your ass. filthy."

"The sight of you makes me feel sick. Get out of my sight. If it weren't for the king's permission, I would never travel with people like you."

Being scolded by Knight Ike without concealment, even the Marauder brothers, who never cared about face, felt the anger of their betrayal.

But they also knew that there was no point in arguing with Ike. This guy was like a stone in a cesspit, smelly and hard, and an idiot who didn't need any benefits.

This time I came here to slay the dragon not to make a fortune at all, but only for the so-called bullshit justice, to prevent the nearby residents from being harmed by the evil dragon, which is simply unreasonable.

So, the three Marauder brothers cursed Ike secretly, then left the temporary stable with their weapons in hand, preparing to find a place to rest.

The formal dragon-hunting operation has not yet begun. It must wait until King Niedamir issues an order tomorrow morning before officially setting off.

And the reconnaissance team from Holobor City had set off ahead of schedule. They were guides hired by the king to help the members of the dragon hunting team find the dragon's lair.
