Chapter 3: 3 Ghost turtle shaped stone
Chapter 3 3. Ghost turtle-shaped stone
Lan En first carefully used the fan method to smell, rolling out a trace of mist and smelling it.
He had to determine whether the magical mist itself was toxic or otherwise harmful.
If the biological computer in his brain that he picked up during his journey to the Void Sea had extra computing power, he could even determine the effect of the mist on him just by touching it with his finger.
Unfortunately, the computing power of brain cells has now been misappropriated.
So a smart brain from the high-tech world can only do this.
There was a slight pungency in the nose, but it was quickly adapted to the witcher's body.
Lan En nodded slightly. This poison could burn out an ordinary person's lungs in five minutes.
But it will only cause discomfort to the body of the witcher, but it will not cause harm within half an hour.
Does not affect combat.
Thin leather boots stepped cautiously into the mist.
With a "crack" sound, Lan En groped his way forward step by step, and also drew out the steel sword behind him.
Wooden handle, iron-gray steel crossguard and blade.
A Velen sword, just like peoples impression of this province, is synonymous with cheapness and poor quality.
There is no restraint effect of the Silver Sword, but for physical monsters, there will be no "invalid" situation.
As far as Lan En knew, this demon hunting mission came from a nearby village elder.
According to him, this valley is home to a delicious fungus that only grows in patches here.
This is also the only thing in this village that can be sold at a high price by merchants in Gos Velen, the capital of Velen.
But a year ago, this fog suddenly appeared, and the people who went to pick fungi never returned.
So now, there is not even a single intact and durable iron farm tool in their village.
Because there is no money.
After the arrival of the witcher master and his apprentice, the village gathered the last bit of funds, fifty-three orens.
Used to hire these two evil and dirty "mutants" to clear out the "evil fog in the valley".
At that time, when the village elder threw the advance payment to the two of them, he looked disgusted and frightened, as if he had to come into contact with two lepers.
This also reminds Lan En's modern brain that even if he gets rid of his "teacher", his current situation is definitely not good.
But things have priorities, and future difficulties can be discussed later.
The dangers of the moment must be faced now.
Lan Ens amber cat eyes stung slightly in the toxic mist.
But he did not even blink his eyelids to moisten his eyeballs.
The enhanced senses brought about by the witcher's mutation began to be mobilized.
This kind of human body enhancement that relies on germs, potions, magic and other means can greatly increase and change human beings' original senses.
Enabling witchers to do the job for which they were designed by mages - to hunt monsters alone.
The thin cowhide boots scratched the weeds on the ground, making a "swishing" sound as thin as mosquitoes.
There is no heavy breathing here, nor even the strong heartbeat of monsters. It is very quiet.
In Lan En's ears, there were only the sounds of himself and Bordon's footsteps behind him.
Well, I can hold on!
Three weeks, a well-nourished human being, even if he is chopping firewood with an ax mechanically, he still has to work hard and mentally for a week if he masters the correct and labor-saving exercise method!
This is just about pursuing the correct way of movement, and does not guarantee accurate splits every time.
As for swordsmanship, which involves actual combat factors such as movement postures, differences in terrain, differences in body shape, etc., it is normal for it to take a year or two to train the basic skills to pass the level.
Now, as a young man who has only held a sword for three weeks, he has a rational and clear understanding of his own abilities.
Thats not just holding it. He can also act like it under this premise!
Lan completed the assessment of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and the monsters also lost their final calmness in the face of the new flesh and blood that came to their door.
Cant tell which evil spirit made the move first, but the battle has begun anyway.

Four soldiers wearing Temerian armor were getting closer and closer to the valley filled with magical mist.
They spit, laughed and cursed, and told crude lower body jokes on horseback.
But in the eyes and faces of the four people, there was a hint of indifference in the smiles.
That is the indifference of soldiers, with a disregard for human life and combat.
The four men include a crossbowman, an archer, a halberdier and a sword and shield soldier.
The Sword and Shield Soldier is the captain of this law enforcement team.
The shield on his back looked very new, with the white lily emblem of Temeria printed on the blue background.
The crossbowman just told a joke about prostitutes and werewolves, and everyone's weird laughter lasted for a while before stopping.
After smiling, he turned to his captain.
I said captain. There was a little hesitation on his face. "We won't. Not in the hands of that mutant freak."
Without waiting for the captain to respond, the halberdier spat.
"I said, aren't you scared? We have four good guys here! I can guarantee that as soon as that freak shows his head, your two arrows will be able to pierce directly into his flesh without me or the captain having to do anything. Its hard work. What youre holding is a crossbow! A good crossbow! Who can dodge the crossbow arrows?
The halberdiers shook their heads, looking relaxed.
But. The crossbowmans mind was still hesitant. "I heard people say that those freaks can do magic!"
As soon as the word "magic" appeared, the atmosphere suddenly became serious, and even the most relaxed halberdier shuddered.
Like something dirty was stained on it.
At this moment, it is the time for the captain to speak out.
Dont worry. The captain raised a pendant on his hand.
It was a stone carved in the shape of a turtle.
Lord Veserad has already told me that I brought the turtle-shaped stone. Those dirty and dirty magics that are invisible cant get close to us.
Soldiers all know that, and common people also have legends that turtle-shaped stones can restrain magic.
How could this be wrong?
So the group relaxed again, and even the crossbowman smiled.
Soon, they followed the path between the woods and arrived in front of the valley.
