Chapter 38 The smell is congruent(1/2)
When leaving Lowes Village, which was completely plunged into darkness.
It was approaching evening outside, the sky was overcast, the cold wind was howling, and the earth was pale.
On the snow-covered wilderness trail, three horses were walking steadily toward the town of Forovdo.
"It's all because of that damn ghoul. He almost ate all my poisonous crabs and spiders. Hey, my gold coins are enough for me to drink several times..."
On the leading horse, Geralt stretched out his feet to kick the two irregular spherical objects hanging in front, and couldn't help complaining.
"It's enough for you to visit the brothels a few more times. Drinking doesn't cost you that much money..."
Gordon, who was riding at the end, exposed Geralt mercilessly and said while licking his nostrils.
"Damn it, if you Gordon hadn't been pestering me with so many questions, even such a big poisonous crab spider wouldn't have been eaten by ghouls. It's all your fault..."
When Gordon answered, Geralt immediately found an outlet and said in annoyance.
"Come on, I asked you how much time you can delay with a few words. You are just heartbroken and have gone to the brothel twice. You are just greedy for the bodies of the women in the brothel. Just admit it. I won't laugh at you..."
"Well, Xina can't either..."
"Hina, do you think so..."
Brother Dunyan was so bad that he even dragged Xina along as he talked.
"snort..."
Xina snorted softly and rode sickly in the middle, not bothering to pay attention to these two guys.
After the demon hunter himself mutated through the magic potion trial, while his body became stronger, his needs also became more.
Often walking on the edge of danger, the pressure of survival is already high, coupled with physical needs, and the loss of the ability to have children due to potion trials, these make it almost impossible for a witcher not to visit brothels to find women.
Originally, her teacher Geralt had restrained himself and came quietly whether he was looking for women in a brothel or something else.
That’s nothing!
But since Gordon came in, teacher Geralt seemed to have found a good partner who shared the same goals.
He remembered that the teacher had never been so polite to other demon hunters. Of course, she also admitted that Gordon was quite powerful.
Although I still don’t know what school of thought Gordon was born in, and I have never seen his badge nameplate.
But the teacher said that Gordon should have come from the declining monastic school. There were always very few members of the monastic school. Gordon didn't want to say, so she naturally couldn't ask more questions.
Just like she had a big secret hidden in her body, but the teacher never asked about it, Gordon must have noticed it, but the other party never asked about it either.
This may be the reason why Gordon is so lovable. No, it’s not that he likes him, but that he doesn’t hate him!
Moreover, Gordon is also very strong. Except when he first met the night demon, he acted like a rookie. After watching Gordon fight, it seems that he has improved rapidly.
Just like the giant ghoul that Gordon killed yesterday, she might not be able to deal with that thing now.
Not to mention that Gordon actually killed an adult human-faced demon bird today. That monster was something that even teacher Geralt had to spend a lot of time to defeat. Gordon actually did it without saying a word.
.
The most important thing is that there were no injuries on Gordon's body at all. Although it was true that it was too smelly, Gordon's body still smells of rotting corpses.
But doesn't this just show Gordon's strength? This guy has improved too fast.
Gordon has made rapid progress, which further proves that his teacher Geralt has taught well.
After all, teacher Geralt has been guiding Gordon intentionally or unintentionally along the way, and Sheena has seen it all.
Then the key point comes, Gordon's progress = Teacher Geralt's teachings.
This may be the reason why the two of them have such a strong affinity for each other.
Xina thought maliciously.
What only bothered Hina was that since the morning these two guys started talking about brothels and women in front of her without hesitation.
Now the two of them are getting more and more excessive. Just like now, they would not openly talk about brothels in front of her before.
If this happened before, just like this morning, Xina would dare to scold the two of them and show their shame.
But this time the teacher was trying to save himself and was eaten by ghouls because he had no time to hide the body of the poisonous crab spider.
As for Gordon, he had tried to save him when he was in danger before, so he couldn't even curse.
"Forget it, I'll take care of my fault today and bear with it."
"If they dare to talk about this in front of me tomorrow, I will never let them go..."
Xina comforted herself and thought about it, thinking this way.
So he turned a deaf ear to the words of the two guys, the old man and the young man, and lay flat on the horse, staring at the endless white snowy land around him, in a daze.
"Forget it, Geralt, I know you suffered heavy losses today, so I'll treat you to a drink tonight..."
Gordon Avenue.
"Drinking is not enough, Gordon, you have made a lot of money today."
"Let me do the math for you. The reward commission, plus the price of the corpse, you can get at least twenty gold coins for such an adult human-faced demon bird. This is more than double the one I got yesterday."
"If my poisonous crab spider is still intact, it should be worth this price. Hey, it's all this damn ghoul's fault..."
Geralt was still worried about the poisonous crab spider corpse being eaten by ghouls, and kept complaining.
In fact, it’s not surprising that Geralt was heartbroken, as Geralt said that the poisonous crab spider he hunted could have gotten him about twenty gold coins.
Twenty gold coins is a huge amount of money. Even though Geralt Gordon seems to be making easy money in Forovdo Town for the past two days, in fact it is not easy at all.
As mentioned before, although the demon hunter makes a lot of money, he also has a lot of expenses, which sounds a bit unrestrained.
But if you know that many times a demon hunter can't receive a mission for ten days and a half, or it can take a month or two for a long time, it's not too unusual.
Moreover, among the monsters, there are very few relatively valuable monsters such as the venom glands of poisonous crabs, spiders and the corpses of human-faced demon birds.
Most monster corpses are worthless!
As for selling meat, would you dare to eat the meat of a ghoul?
Do you dare to drink the thick black juice that the demon spirit turns into after death at night?
Same reason.
Just like the night before Geralt came to Forovdo with Gordon Sheena, Geralt even asked Gordon to borrow money to buy potions.
Before meeting Gordon, they had not received any commissioned tasks for nearly a month.
Seeing this, you can understand that losing a huge sum of nearly twenty gold coins must be heartbreaking for Geralt, who likes to visit brothels.
Because this is very heartbreaking for any poor witcher!
Of course, it's also Geralt's fault.
The two ghouls were so eager to gnaw away that the carapace on the back of the poisonous crab spider with its venom glands was completely gnawed away.
When Geralt arrived, only a few legs and sharp forelimbs of the poisonous crab spider were left unharmed.
The most valuable poison glands have been eaten away, leaving only a few crab spider legs. It is not certain whether Geralt can get the bounty commission for the highly poisonous crab spider this time.
You will know why Geralt keeps thinking about it.
"Okay, let's go to the same place as yesterday. Order the one you liked yesterday, and add another one for you. Order two. It will comfort your injured heart..."
Gordon was so speechless by Geralt that he quickly begged for mercy.
"Ahem..."
"Gordon, I will remember your generosity."
"Next time, no, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll ask..."
In front of Xina, Geralt became unusually shy when Gordon told her about the brothel so completely.
"tomorrow?"
"Will Xina be okay tomorrow? Do you still need to rest?"
Sensing Geralt's plan, Gordon immediately asked.
"Of course Xina needs to rest, we can just come together tomorrow..."
"No, the powerful magic potion antidote is very effective. Just take a rest tonight and I can do it tomorrow."
Before Geralt finished speaking, Xina immediately interrupted.
"Xina...you were poisoned by the plague banshee, which is more toxic than the poisonous crab spider."
"Although the magic potion antidote is very effective, it is too powerful and overbearing. You need to rest, and it will take more than one day!"
Hearing Xina's objection, Geralt was silent for a moment, then immediately spoke in a deep voice, almost in an unquestionable voice.
Geralt would not joke about serious matters involving Sheena's physical safety.
"Okay, I get it..."
Seeing that the teacher was serious, Xina couldn't even think of a confrontation.
Because Xina knew that when it came to her own physical safety, the teacher would never joke with her.
To be continued...
