Chapter 145: Vesemir is beaten and vomits blood
"Lord Hudson?"
"Where did you know that name?"
Bob stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise.
This family is indeed related to the Viscount... Vesemir was delighted and asked quickly:
"More than a decade ago, I accepted several commissions from the Viscount and dealt with monsters in the mines. I got along well with Viscount Hudson."
"When I first arrived at the Hundred Fruits Garden yesterday, I planned to visit him at the castle, but I found that there were only ruins left."
"What happened there?"
"More than ten years ago..." Bob was stunned.
Vesemir quickly said, "Yes, it should be fifteen years ago."
Hearing this, Bob looked at Vesemir's appearance carefully for a few seconds, and suddenly he realized.
"You are the demon hunter who was beaten by the rock troll and vomited blood!"
Ok?
Being beaten by a rock troll and vomiting blood!!!
Master Vesemir has this experience?
Ailin and Hughes pricked up their ears instantly.
How could I have forgotten about this... Vesemir's face darkened, and he regretted asking so directly.
He looked at the two young demon hunters who were sitting on the wooden table with their heads down, fiddling with the plates seemingly nonchalantly, but actually focusing all their attention on him, and explained quickly:
"It was an accident, an accident..."
"Before entering the mine, I thought I only had to deal with a few ghouls, but I didn't expect that behind the mine was a large camp of rock trolls with more than a dozen rock trolls."
"During the battle, I used the Alder Sign to connect two places that were originally unconnected."
Bob seemed to know that he had said something wrong. He nodded repeatedly and helped to defend himself:
"That's true. Later, the mine was abandoned by Master Hudson because there were too many rock trolls."
After Ailin and Xius thought about it, their expressions became even weirder.
They had all seen Vesemir's Alder Sign, and it was extremely powerful.
If the rock mass is relatively thin, it is indeed possible to directly destroy one wall of the mine.
But the key point is not this, but...
The demon hunter who was originally responsible for cleaning the mine directly destroyed the mine of his client.
That's okay!
Your explanation is worse than no explanation... Vesemir looked at Bob helplessly.
Bob scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and dared not say anything else.
"Eh~"
Vesemir sighed and stopped trying to explain. He continued:
"Later, I managed to escape from the angry rock troll."
"I screwed up so badly that I was too embarrassed to go see my employer, but my injuries were severe."
"Besides, I have to explain the situation in the mine to prevent others from entering by mistake, so I returned to Viscount Hudson's castle."
Having said this, he paused, as if recalling the scene at that time.
"Viscount Hudson is truly a special nobleman."
"Not only did he not hold me responsible for destroying the mine - ordinary nobles can and would hold me responsible - he also hired a pharmacist to treat and bandage my wounds for free."
"In the end, he even gave me the money for the commission to hunt down a few ghouls."
"Wow!" Xius couldn't help but exclaimed, "This... this is too good!"
"Master Hudson is such a man!" Bob raised his head with a proud look, and the wrinkles on his face were proudly deep grooves.
Vesemir nodded and continued:
"He said: 'A brave soldier should not suffer the bitter consequences of a failed war. You have done your best and completed the mission I entrusted to you. The other trivial matters have nothing to do with you!'"
"Viscount Hudson is truly a unique nobleman!" he exclaimed again.
"Who mentioned Master Hudson?" A woman who looked to be in her thirties came out of the kitchen.
"Mary, do you still know him?" Bob asked jokingly. The woman with the same name as the little witch in Kaer Morhen only looked at him for a few seconds and then shouted in surprise:
"You...you are the witcher named Vesemir...who was beaten by a rock troll and vomited blood?"
Vesemir smiled when he heard his own name, but his expression quickly darkened when he heard the second half.
"Hahaha……"
An abrupt laugh suddenly sounded in the hotel, and was suddenly interrupted by a sharp gaze.
Ailin covered his trembling mouth.
Judging from Vesemir's current expression, Zeus, who was unable to control himself, will surely not have an easy time in the next few days.
“It’s me.” Vesemir nodded helplessly. “You were the cook in the Viscount’s house, right? I tasted it when I drank the stew just now.”
Mary heard this and looked at Vesemir carefully again, then shook her head with some emotion:
"You and I looked the same age back then. Fifteen years have passed, and you haven't changed at all, but I..."
"That's off topic. Madam Reina passed away many years ago. I was her maid. I learned how to make soup from her."
"Ah~Is that so!" Vesemir sighed.
But he had experienced this many times, so after adjusting his mood a little, he returned to the topic:
"What happened to Viscount Hudson? Why is his castle in such a state of disrepair? Where are the Viscountess and the children?"
Mary and Bob looked at each other, looked around, and motioned for them to wait.
Because of the conflict between the King's guards and the witchers, no one has come to visit yet.
Bob simply closed the door. Anyway, there were only four people including Vesemir staying there in the past few days.
In a small town like Baiguoyuan, hotels and taverns are inseparable, otherwise the customer flow will be very small and it will be difficult to sustain.
After closing the door, Bob and Mary carefully closed the wooden windows.
"Bang~"
The last window was closed, and the first floor of the hotel suddenly became dark.
Seeing how careful they were, Vesemir also became serious and waited patiently for them to finish everything.
After a while.
The two came back and sat in the empty seats next to them.
They first looked at Arryn and Hughes, their eyes questioning Vesemir.
"It doesn't matter, they are all trustworthy." Vesemir nodded.
Bob and Mary looked at each other, and then Bob said:
"Vesemir, we all know that you have a good relationship with Viscount Hudson, so we are willing to tell you this, but others..."
Vesemir understood what they meant and was about to comfort them again.
"I suddenly remembered that Bonte and Fred haven't gotten up yet." Ailin suddenly spoke up and pulled Hughes away from his seat, "Hughes, let's go upstairs and call them."
Hughes obediently left his seat, apparently aware of the hint from the innkeeper and his wife.
"Boom~boom~boom~"
Under the apologetic gazes of Bob and Mary, Erin and Hughes walked up the wooden stairs.
It's nice to have a story to listen to, but since it's Vesemir's private matter.
Of course, Ailin would not be so tasteless as to eavesdrop, so after saying goodbye to Hughes, he planned to go back to his room and meditate for another hour.
"Squeak~"
As the door closed, Ailin's keen sense as a demon hunter suddenly caught it.
"…It all started eight years ago, when the Viscount brought back a couple from the battlefield…"
