Chapter 12 The Forest of Shadows

The sword and the man’s tavern are open in remote and deserted ghost places. Many people in the city know why this tavern exists. Therefore, few real drinkers come to the door.

At this time, under the golden sunshine, a four-wheeled carriage drove in. Its four-wheel and base were pitch black, and the carriage was as white as snow. It had some exquisite carvings and was inlaid with shiny gems.

Not only were there two car doors with glass windows left and right, there was also a huge glass on the front and back, allowing you to clearly see the red sofa inside and a blonde gentleman sitting on it.

The one who pulled the horse was a tall and strong male horse with snow-white hair and only had a tuft of black hair on the four hooves. The horse made a sound of horse neighing from time to time, which was extremely loud.

The driver who drove the car was an old man wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, a black vest, and a round hat, who was meticulous in tidying himself up.

When Galot heard the movement, he looked up at the carriage and slowly stopped in front of the door of the sword and the macho man's tavern. With the old coachman's "please", the white horse stopped four hooves, shook his head at the door, and then lowered his head. The old man got out of the car and came to the right side of the car and opened two doors.

The blonde gentleman walked out of the carriage. He had a handsome face, blue eyes and slender figure. He wore a red shirt inside, a white vest on the outside, black straight pants on the lower body, and black leather shoes on his feet.

The clothes and pants are very slim and have extremely fine workmanship. The leather shoes are shining, like a mirror, and can reflect the image.

He wore a pair of white gloves on his hand and a blue parchment book on his left hand. After getting off the car, he put the parchment book back into the car, then lowered his head and whispered to the old man for a moment, then he entered the sword and the macho tavern gracefully and calmly.

"I dare to suppress all my wealth and bet that this person is a real nobleman." Gather opened his mouth, showed a dumbfounded expression, and then became in chaos again.

"Why would the real nobles choose to become witch hunters instead of knights?"

"Because I like adventure." The blonde gentleman heard Gather's words, smiled and owed to Gather, and then calmly said to Al: "Mr. Al, I'll come as promised."

"Mr. Strand." Al imitated the other party to bow, but no matter how he looked, he looked like a country bun, without the other party's grace and calmness.

"Boss, don't bow. I want to vomit." Gaser made a vomiting expression next to him. The expression on Al's fat face was stiff, and he glared at Gaser, then changed the subject and resolved the embarrassment.

"This is Mr. Stran. He has excellent swordsmanship and has taken agile, strong, regenerative potion."

"Hahaha. Hello Stran." Gaspar opened his mouth and said happily.

Carianna just nodded slightly, looking cold.

"Hello, Mr. Strand." Galot looked at the noble gentleman, and smiled as politely as ever.

But he was a little wary in his heart. If something abnormal happens, there will be a demon. As Al said, the other party is very strange.

A nobleman looks like he is not short of money. He has taken three potions of regeneration, agility, and strength, and is good at swordsmanship. Not to mention that he should have taken the path of a knight, but he came to hunt demons.

Even if you want to be a witch hunter, you should spend money to buy key potions and become a true extraordinary person. But you choose to take risks.

This is not something I like to take risks.

"It feels like something is a little tricky." Galot looked up at Carianna. Although she was very cold, her eyes changed a little.

I looked at Gaspar again, but there was no strange look, just laughing. I don’t know if it’s really a simple personality or a deep cunning person.

"Baopao!!" After the staff arrived, Al slapped his palms to attract everyone's attention, then nodded and signaled a maid to bring a map to spread it on the table.

"In the northwest of Carpenter, near the Shadow Forest, there are several remote small villages. One of the villages is called "Ott", and the village has only fifty or sixty adults. Due to geographical reasons, there are not much interactions with the outside world. The Baron's officials only collect tax grains during the autumn harvest. In the remaining days, only some fur merchants would go to buy fur. Not long ago, a merchant named Sally took some friends to go there.

He was vigilant because the fields outside the village were deserted and there was no people. He was wary and sent people to investigate. There were no figures in the village under the sun, but some polluters were occupied in the house. It was estimated that all the people in the village had received pollution and became polluters. This time your purpose was to clean up polluters. Each person's reward was one hundred gold coins. I bought the polluters' hearts at the price of ten gold coins."

Al pointed to the northwest of the map, and the expression on his face was quite relaxed.

Galot looked at the map a little fresh. He saw the map of this world for the first time, but unexpectedly discovered that it was also a structure that was up, north, and south.

This map is slightly yellowed and is drawn from black lines. But the simple lines outline the terrain of Carpenter's territory.

To the northwest of Carpenter's territory is a vast forest with the words "Shadow Forest" written on it, and to the north is the long mountain range from west to east, called the "Vansell Mountains".

Baron Carpenter's territory, just at the intersection of mountains and forests, is a river called "Caster River", which cuts the Baron's territory in half.

In the territory, the city of Carpenter, as well as some important cities and villages, are densely covered with stars.

Garrot looked at the map for a while before then he raised his head and asked Al, "What is a polluting person?"

After Garrot finished speaking, he felt a surprise gaze coming from all over the world. Garrot opened his mouth exaggeratedly, widened his eyes and asked, "Garot. Are you a legendary hermit living in seclusion underground? It's the first time since he was born? In Orleans, even a five-year-old child knows what polluting people is. You don't know?"

But Galot calmly, shrugged and said, "I have received stick education since I was a child, and I have a good time playing with scimitars. But I have knowledge."

He stretched out his right hand and pointed to his temple, and said with a smile: "I lack knowledge."

The surroundings fell silent for a while, although there was still some suspicious eyes. No one continued to mess with this issue.

"You are really a country bumpkin." Gather muttered, but explained seriously: "The so-called extraordinary, whether it is a knight, a witcher, or a wizard, all have recognized profession levels. They are from 1 to 10. And you can only be considered intern witchers and informal witchers. However, the levels of extraordinary monsters in the world are extremely chaotic. But the vampires are of a high level."

"Is the Polluted Man one of the ranks of vampires?" Galot raised his brow. He was a little interested in the legendary vampires.

"It's not like this. The first level of vampires is called the Blood Demon. The origin of polluters is a widely discussed and recognized as the most authoritative origin. Polluters are a crazy wizard who created defective vampires by studying a large number of vampires. Formal vampires can survive in the sun without special weaknesses. However, polluters are afraid of the sun and are as bloodthirsty as wild beasts but do not have much wisdom. However, one thing is that polluters can evolve into formal vampires by eating a lot. This polluters were later used by some formal vampires to spread the race, create fear, and attract firepower including witch hunters to ensure that the real vampires are safe."

Gaser rarely makes a serious and long statement.

Galot raised his eyebrows again when he heard this, and refreshed the wizards' madness. These people are indeed scientific madmen.

"I have given the information. How about it, Mr. Galot, do you want to participate in this mission?" Al asked Galot with his small eyes stuck in the flesh.

Galot's expression changed slightly. After analyzing it in his heart, he smiled happily and said, "Of course, participate, otherwise the half-body armor I bought from you will be in vain?"

"That's good. Give you more than two hours of preparation. After nightfall, you set out to the village of Ott. I provide you with horses, but declare in advance that the horses need to pay a deposit of five gold coins. If the horses disappear, the deposit will belong to me."

Al revealed the merchant's scrupulousness and said in detail.

"good."

Galot, Carianna, Gaspar and Stran had no objection, and then they prepared to go.

In the evening, the people gathered in the tavern, and the four of them enjoyed a delicious meal together, and then took advantage of the night to head northwest.

Garrot put on silver half-body armor, which shone brightly in the luminous light. He and Gaspar were in front of him.

Strand, Carianna walked behind, Strand put on a delicate bronze armor, a knight's sword hung around his waist, and black gloves on his hands.

His horse was born, a pure black majestic war horse, following everyone, with ease.

Carianna is wearing a gray leather armor and a head of brown hair with ears, which is very refreshing and capable.

The territory of Carpenter was not large, and it was only about thirty miles from Carpenter City to Ultra Village. Four people rode horses and galloped along the avenue, and came to the vicinity of Ultra Village before dawn.

It is extremely unwise to fight with polluters in the dark. So the four of them settled on a low-high mound and saw the village by the way.

Tonight, the moon is bright in the sky, the stars are shining, and the visibility is high. But the silence is terrifying, and there is no sound of owls at night.

The four horses tied to the small tree under the mound kept moving their hooves and making light movements, which seemed very uneasy. Their mouths were trapped so that they would not scream and trigger polluters in the village.

Garrot and the three of them lay on the mound and looked at the village. The whole village was backed by the forest and shrouded in a shadow, but tonight there was not even wind.

Shadow, silence, silence.

"If an ordinary person had been in this environment and had learned that the vampire's nest was ahead, he would have been scared to death."

Garrot thought.

"Polluting people are a group of irrational beasts. After they occupy the village, they will swallow all the living creatures around them, so this area is so quiet. Gaspar explained first, and finally changed the subject and told Garot.

"Hmm?" Galot turned his head and looked at Gaspar, with the other party's eyes serious and serious expression.

"Don't get hurt, especially bite-related serious injuries. Polluters are contagious and must be treated if they are injured. Otherwise, even we, the trainee witch hunters, may undergo terrible transformation."

Gaspar stretched out his broad palm and patted Garot on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Gaspar." Garot noticed the other party's kindness and smiled.

"You're welcome." Gaspar wanted to laugh out loud, and only realized when the laughter was in his throat. He was now on the battlefield, so he held back his laughter.

Then the four people made a low-key battle plan, and there was no need to mention the action at dawn. The specific plan was that Garrot and Gaspar, the two heavy-armored demon hunters, who took strong potions and had half-armored armor, acted as meat shields in front, and Carianna and Strand as killers in the back.

There is no need to mention the reward from the sword and the macho tavern. The polluting human heart can sell ten gold coins and the spoils are divided equally by four people. In order to ensure the integrity of the heart, try to behead the head during the battle.

After the discussion was completed, the four of them quietly waited for dawn on the mound.

Before the fight, even a battle-hardened hunter like Galot also needed to make sufficient preparations. He checked his half-armor, then took out the cloth and wiped his scimitar.

The others are also making similar preparations.

After the first ray of sunshine fell in the morning light, Garrot looked up at Dongfang, then frowned and touched his hair. The mist of water became heavier last night, making his body wet.

"Let's go!" Gaspar held his double-edged battle axe with both hands and walked out first. With half-armor and tall man and big horses, he would fall a little while every step he took.

Garrot followed closely after hearing this and quickly arrived at Gaspar's left side and stood side by side with him. Strand and Carianna each drew their swords, one left and one right after another.

The Ultra Village under the dark night is hidden in the shadows of trees, silent and weird. The Ultra Village during the day is no less than that.

The water mist gradually became thinner under the sun, but it still existed, making the pictures seen by everyone looming.

The whole village stands on the plain, silent.

The rotten and withered leaves under your feet are filled with a faint smell of corpse odor in the air. The sight of them is a scene of chaos.

Garrot looked at a sloping roof on the right. The wooden structure house on the second floor, the door on the first floor was open, and a dog's body was left in front of the door. It had been rotten for many days, and disgusting flies were hovering over it.

There was a small amount of blood on the ground. At this time, there was wind, and there was a blood-colored palm print on the wooden door that was slightly shaking with the wind.

Perhaps someone had once screamed and fled into this sloping roof, but was bitten by a polluted person at the door and eventually died.

Looking up, there was also a small amount of blood on the transparent windows on the second floor.

"Swish!!!" Suddenly, Galoth's eyes caught a black shadow flashing by. He looked up at the direction of the sun, and there was a thoughtful look in his one-eye.

This window is backlit, and people can move freely when they are afraid of the pollution of the sun.

"There is a figure in the house on my right." Galot said, "I didn't move, but his pupils turned slightly to Gaspar.

"Then start with this house, clean up the land one by one, inch by one." Gaspar said in a deep voice, and then took the lead and entered the sloping roof.
