Chapter 25: 25 Dangerous Woods
Chapter 25 25. Dangerous woods
Why do you think so, Master?
Mrs. Downer first looked back at Lan En in surprise, and then seemed to understand something, and laughed cheerfully and teasingly again.
"I understand, I understand. Does your expression show guilt?" Donna asked with a smile. "Are you guilty of the demon hunter who killed my husband and is of the same school as you?"
The young man opened his mouth, but Mrs. Donner laughed heartily again before he could speak.
Ouch, for the sake of the plague, please dont make such an expression.
"Killing people should be punished with life, but the man in my family is an out-and-out drunkard. He is as fierce as a water ghost at ordinary times, and he doesn't work much. To be honest, it might be better to have him in the house without him."
You want to hear sad stories? I dont have any here, and it has nothing to do with the drunkard in my family.
Mrs. Donna's already wrinkled hands waved nonchalantly in the air.
"Oh, yes, is that so?" Lan En's upbringing made him feel that he should not talk about the deceased. Now that the family members said this, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"Haha! Having said that, I really didn't expect that the life of a witcher is so different from that of ordinary farmers like us? Judging from your appearance, you must have been from a decent and wealthy family before you became a witcher, right?"
After finishing speaking, the cheerful smile on her face faded for the first time, and was replaced by an expression that Lan En couldn't understand.
It was a calm and gentle expression.
What does that expression mean? Lan En asked in his mind, but Mentos couldn't answer.
I am being disliked by others, and I am doing more work than a womans body can do. Donna said softly, But thats how life is in the village.
The village cant afford to support anyone. To be honest, Im glad that I can still be disliked by others and still have work to do. Im also very grateful to the villagers and elders, because
This will at least allow me to raise my children.
The tone was soft. In fact, Mrs. Donna didn't have the strength to speak with full force now.
But these words were like thunder in Lan Ens ears!
He suddenly felt that Mrs. Donner, this peasant woman who was already showing signs of aging, was beautiful.
This kind of beauty has nothing to do with the abnormally strong hormones of adolescent demon hunters. It is a kind of lofty beauty that faces the cruelty of life, accepts the challenge gladly, and is determined to fight to the end.
Lan En feels that he will remember this beauty for the rest of his life.

The tear in the cotton armor cover is indeed not big, just very scattered. Just as Lan En expected, with Mrs. Downer's craftsmanship, it was completed in less than twenty minutes.
Stepping out of the room, Lan En was walking on the boardwalk with his eyes lowered.
Actually, there are a lot of things wrong with what she said, right?
The communication in his head began, and so far Lan En had only one person in the world to whom he could confide his feelings.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"Yes, sir." Maybe it was an illusion, Lan En felt that Mentos's voice was softer than usual at this time.
There was a vicious alcoholic husband, but there was no trace of violence in the family. On the day her husband was killed, her feet were still stained with cow dung and soil from the farmland, but she said that her husband was lazy and did not work, which is very suspicious.
But the purpose is very simple
She didnt want Lan to be burdened with guilt that didnt belong to him.
Every time you move, put your center of gravity on your toes, and your steps should be light and steady.
This is not a state of active attack, but a posture for quick reaction.
Water ghosts are amphibious creatures, and their only requirement for nesting is by the water. Whether its a tidal flat, a forest, or even a farmland, it doesnt matter to them.
Then these beasts are really tenacious.
Who says its not?
The two of them chatted all the time, mainly to relieve tension in this dense forest.
The woods of Velen are full of dangers. Wild dogs, wolves, and brown bears are just ordinary animals, but more dangerous monsters also like to lurk in them.
Coupled with the good sound-absorbing ability of leaves and wood, once a person enters the woods for about thirty meters, even his death screams will not be heard outside the woods.
Just imagine, only thirty meters away, a few seconds on flat ground.
You are being eaten by monsters, but passersby outside cant even hear you.
So the Willen people are accustomed to calling the woods "green swamps".
The two were still moving forward. According to Bernie, "because they were in the woods, the scales and footprints of the water ghost were more abrupt and easy to identify."
But when the two of them really got close to the group of water ghosts, the woods still frightened them.
Bernie should have let them face the group of water ghosts directly, and then slowly approached after confirming the situation.
But after losing the clues several times and finding them again, they did see the water ghost.
Its just that when they saw it, the water ghost was less than ten meters away from the two of them!
Its almost attached to the side!
Fortunately, Bernie is an old hunter, and his movements in the woods are light and quiet, so he was not taken away by the water ghost.
Lan and Bernie looked at each other, and Bernie was already so scared that his lips trembled.
From this distance, it is impossible to see the situation of the water ghost group, but it is completely unrealistic for the two of them to move their positions.
Fighting a battle without intelligence is a taboo for witchers.
Reality is not a game, monsters are not distributed according to levels, and a witcher will face death if he makes the slightest mistake.
An ordinary witcher would probably declare his career to be over if he encountered the current situation.
Lan En doesnt have a useful apprentice to help him avoid thunder.
Tsk. But in this case, the young man just smacked his tongue slightly.
With his current [Trace Detection] proficiency of 13%, if he had been able to find and fill in the gaps for Bernie, he would not have reached this stage.
But on the way just now, his main focus was on warning of dangers and observing Bernie's skills.
Nothing can be done about Mentos! Lan En narrowed his eyes and looked at the water ghost beside him who was chewing something unknown.
At your service, sir.
