Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 244 Preparing for the Adventure

"They just like killing and bleeding! In fact, that mage created them just to do this! They are simply a group of living weapons!"

Under the excitement, the housekeeper lost his composure again and kept talking about these things.

"You haven't thought of fighting back for so long?" Tonks asked.

"Believe me! We tried!" the steward shouted.

"We have sent a team of highly skilled wizards, and the Polish wizarding community has also sent Aurors, but it's all useless! Anyone who dares to get involved in this matter has paid a heavy price!"

"Those canine people have bred more canine people in the mountains for so long. They formed a new group. The new canine people are even more ferocious than the original canine people."

“In the end, many villagers couldn’t bear the life here and chose to move out as a large group with their families, taking care of each other. Now there are only a group of the most stubborn old stubborns left in this village who are unwilling to leave the land where they have lived for generations. "

Ethan was hesitantly thinking about whether he should accept this commission. Now, the difficulty of this group of dog-man monsters has far exceeded Ethan's expectation.

The housekeeper seemed to notice Ethan's hesitation and said directly, "Mr. Ethan, I have heard of your reputation. If you can help us eliminate the threat of dog men, we will pay you 20,000 gold." Remuneration in galleons.”

Tonks' eyes widened immediately. This was the first time she heard of so much money.

She looked at Ethan, and her mood was extremely complicated at this time. Firstly, she also knew the danger of this mission, and secondly, the huge reward of 20,000 gold galleons would really knock Tonks unconscious.

"I'm sorry to say this. I know it's rude, but I want to know if the Sapkov family can afford such a high bounty?" Ethan said seriously, staring at the butler's face.

The reason why Ethan asked this was because he had seen something like this too many times in the world of the witcher. After the witcher completed the task of hunting the demon, the villagers killed the donkey and refused to pay the reward.

It often happened that only half of the promise was given, or even only a dozen gold coins. What's more, the demon hunter who had worked so hard to deal with the monsters was scarred and unable to fight, and even tried to kill the demon hunter.

And now Ethan and Tonks are in this remote border town. Apart from these villagers, there are not many people around. Ethan cannot guarantee that under this situation, these things will not happen again.

"No need to apologize, it's normal for you to have such worries, sir." The housekeeper's eyelids drooped slightly, "After all, the situation in our village doesn't look that good."

"But please rest assured. As a reputable noble, the Sapkov family will have no problem paying your bounty. You can even verify it first."

After saying that, the butler pulled out a large suitcase from the drawer, and then opened the lock of the suitcase.

It was filled with various gold coins, jewelry and gold crafts. The shining golden light almost hurt Ethan and Tonks' eyes.

"I think this proves that the Sapkov family has the ability to pay all bounties." The butler said softly with a hint of arrogance.

"That's enough proof." Ethan replied, "I think I'm willing to accept this commission. Can you let me know some specific situations?" Ethan asked.

"You feel free to ask questions," the butler said calmly, "If I know anything, I will definitely tell you."

"I heard from the villagers that you have been fighting against these dog people for a long time. Have you collected the bodies of these dog people? I want to study it." Ethan asked the housekeeper.

"I'm sorry, no." The butler put on a guilty expression, "Believe me, we have tried hard to do this. We have also successfully killed some dogmen and wanted to leave a few corpses to study whether they have any weaknesses. .”

"But those canine people did not allow us to keep the corpses of their kind. Once we paid the lives of several people to retrieve a canine corpse."

"I didn't expect those dog men to act like lunatics. They braved the pressure of the wizards' attack and rushed into the village to snatch the body back. You haven't seen the scene for a day!" The housekeeper seemed to remember the horror at that time. scene, he trembled and said.

"It feels like one." The butler seemed to want to use some word to describe it.

"It's like someone is directing them." Ethan murmured.

"Yes! That's what it means!" the butler said with eyes shining.

"That's about it -" Ethan nodded, "I need to make some preparations. Once I'm done, I'll go to the mountain to find some clues. Where do those dog men usually hang out?" Ethan asked.

"Over there." The housekeeper opened a window of the castle and pointed to the mountain on one side outside the window.

Ethan looked in the direction of the butler's finger. It was a towering mountain covered with dense trees. For dog people, this was a very good place to live.

"Sometimes at night, those crazy monsters will stand on the top of the mountain, looking at the whole town. I know they are looking for loopholes in the village's defense." The housekeeper said with lingering fear.

Ethan squinted his eyes and looked at the mountain carefully. At this time, the village was quiet. As far as he could see, there was only the white snow on the top of the mountain and the bare trees.

After understanding everything he needed to know, Ethan began to prepare everything he needed to prepare for hunting demons.

After sharpening the blade, oiling the sword, and tightening the crossbow string, everything was quickly ready, and Tonks helped herself tie the laces of the armor.

"Okay, one by one," Ethan moved his limbs and said to Tonks, "I'll go to the mountains to see if there are any clues. You just stay in the village."

"What? No!" Tonks said in surprise and annoyance.

"Let me go with you!" Tonks stubbornly stopped in front of Ethan, "Do you think of me as a burden? I'm not weak! I can help you!"

"No! Tonks, this operation is too dangerous! I can go alone!" Ethan said helplessly.

"You still think I'm a burden!" Tonks shouted angrily.

"I got all O's in my N.E.W.T exam!" Tonks said seriously, "What about you, how many N.E.W.T exams did you get?"

"I don't know, I wasn't in this world at that time!" Ethan shrugged helplessly.

"Then you should take me with you! Maybe I can tutor you when I'm in a good mood!" Tonks said.

Probably thinking what she said was funny, Tonks giggled again, which finally made Ethan laugh too. The two laughed so hard that the housekeeper came over several times.

I don't know why Ethan and Tonks are laughing.

In the end, Ethan couldn't stand Tonks's teasing and relented, and agreed to take Tonks on the adventure together.

"Yeah!" Tonks screamed happily and gave Ethan a big hug.
