Chapter 140: First Arrival at Ban Ade

After staying in the inn in Kyle Village for one night, Ailin and his companions set out on their journey.

It is worth mentioning that before they went down the mountain, the school had already prepared four good horses for them in the village's large stable.

The two chestnut mares, one black mares and one white mares are all gentle and suitable for novices to ride.

The market price of such a high-quality horse is at least two hundred orens.

According to Vesemir, these horses were all selected by the Chief himself.

"Hurry up and choose your horses, we'll be on our way."

Vesemir saw several witchers touching things here and there curiously and chattering about things, so he couldn't help but interrupt them.

Although the next village with an inn was not far away and there were horses for transportation, several young witchers, including Arryn, had never ridden a horse before.

Therefore, taking into account the time spent learning riding skills along the way, they had to speed up if they didn't want to spend the night in the wild.

After being pushed by Hughes and the others, Ailin took the lead in selecting the pure black mare, and on a whim he named her "Radish".

"radish?"

"What kind of weird name is that?"

Vesemir couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

"This means that my horse is immortal. As long as I whistle, it will cross thousands of mountains and rivers to come to me."

Ailin became interested and made a joke.

Upon hearing this, Vesemir rolled his eyes and ignored him.

"Isn't radish a kind of vegetable? And does it have such a meaning?" Xius was eager to come up with this name as well.

However, after being glared at by Vesemir, he struggled for a moment and felt that it was inappropriate, so he named his horse "Cabbage".

He thought that since they were all vegetables, the effects should not be much different.

When Bonte and Fred heard the two men's naming styles, they looked at each other and then unanimously named their mounts "Red Dates" and "Oats".

The pure red one is "Red Date" and the one with some white spots is "Oatmeal".

Although Vesemir was speechless watching from the side, he did not say much. After briefly explaining some riding techniques, he set off with a few people.

On the way to Ban Ader, Vesemir was anxious to investigate the king's attitude towards the School of the Wolf.

When passing by some villages, I only took some simple tasks and killed some water ghosts and zombies along the way.

However, even though he was in a hurry, Vesemir always followed the habit of training traveling apprentices, and told the four new demon hunters about tracking, common and uncommon monsters, and some basic curse removal methods along the way.

During this time, Ailin also used his battle points to upgrade Hughes, Bont, and Fred's Quinn Signet and Igni Signet to level 2.

Unfortunately,

Although Ailin used his demon hunting skills more than once during the journey to jokingly invite Vesemir to join the army, it did not work in the end.

So I can only put this aside and wait for another chance to try it in the future.

along the way.

Ailin noticed that the villagers passing through the village became more distant and fearful towards the witcher the closer they got to Ban Ader.

Fortunately, there has not been the aggressive rejection that occurred in the previous game and the original book.

But even so, Ayling still felt that the mood of several demon hunters, including Vesemir, was much lower.

No wonder.

Even though demon hunters are paid for their work, it still involves risking their lives.

Which demon hunter would want to return from hunting demons, covered in blood and sweat, only to see the disgusted and disdainful looks of his client?
This made him sigh and at the same time he became more alert again.

Obviously, the enemy's malicious intentions are already obvious.

The wizards of Ban Ade definitely had a hand in these malicious acts, but it was unknown how much the king was involved.

……

Located at the foot of the Blue Mountains, Ban Ard is one of the two largest cities in Kaedwen, the other being the kingdom's capital, Ard Kalai.

The city's main industry is mining, but it is also famous for Ben Ade College.

It took ten days, and Vesemir finally brought Arryn and others to the city.

However, because they arrived a little early, the city gate was not open yet. So the five people could only lead the horses and stand in the queue patiently waiting for the city gate to open.

What relieved Ailin was that except for some people around, they saw them hiding outside.

Although the others all frowned, they did not show any special expression.

until……

"Stay away from me, mutant monster..."

A shout came from the queue next to him, but Vesemir didn't respond yet.

The man was then covered in the mouth by his companion.

Ailin's keen senses as a demon hunter enabled him to hear the man's advice:

"You're crazy, they're demon hunters! Aren't you afraid those lunatics will kill you with one sword?"

"What are you afraid of?" The man shook off his companion's hand, looked provocatively in the direction of Ailin and the others, and shouted, "This is Ban Ade. With so many wizards here, how can we tolerate these mutant monsters?"

The man's companion smiled and bowed his head to Vesemir, then lowered his voice and whispered in the man's ear:

"What's the use of wizards? Not even the king can do anything to them!"

"More than ten days ago, I delivered a batch of silk cloth to Ard Kalai, and saw with my own eyes two demon hunters killing more than a dozen guards on the street."

"The blood dyed the whole street red."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately shrank his neck, took a few steps back, and grabbed his companion's sleeve.

"what?"

"You...are you telling the truth? Two demon hunters? More than a dozen guards were killed?"

"Then...what about the king? The king didn't have any reaction?"

The companion glanced at Ailin and the others secretly, sighed, and said softly:

"I was so scared that I ran away, but I heard from a friend of a friend of a nephew who is a trusted servant of a court noble that the two witchers were released the next day."

"what!"

Another exclamation.

The man looked at Ailin and the others in horror, then immediately dragged his companions, bumped into several passers-by in a panic, and fled in a hurry in a mess.

Probably because he was afraid of revenge from the witcher.

Since Arryn could hear it so clearly, Vesemir naturally heard everything they said as well.

Although there was no expression on his face, as if he had heard nothing, his fists on both sides of his body were clenched tightly.

Obviously the mood is not as calm as it seems.

"Alin, what were those two whispering about just now?"

Hughes glanced at Vesemir's face, handed the reins in his hand to Bonte, and quietly ran over to ask.

"Nothing, they are just some scum among the demon hunters!"

Vesemir tilted his head to look at Hughes and answered for Arryn.

Seeing that the witcher master was in a bad mood, Zeus didn't dare to ask more questions. He shrank his head and ran to Bonte again.

This gift from Ben Ade is not very good!

Ailin sighed in his heart, foreboding that many unpleasant things would happen to Ban Ade and his group.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise of cursing and whipping behind him.

He followed the sound.

Several wizards in black robes came over, followed by a dozen knights wearing black unicorn cloaks with yellow backgrounds. They seemed to be escorting a prison van.

"Wheels and wheels~"

The sound of wheels rolling on the cobblestone road gradually approached.

The cat's blue pupils slightly dilated, and he discovered...

The people locked up in the prison van were actually a group of elves with pointy ears and long hair.
