The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 750 Chatting with Geralt
"I'm not a groom." Xie Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Geralt indifferently, "I don't provide flesh and blood business."

Geralt, who still didn't understand what the "stable man" had to do with looking for a woman, became visibly stiff after hearing Xie Yuan's last words.

"It's different, I'm not just looking for a woman," Geralt explained patiently, although his face was a little stiff, "The woman I'm looking for smells like clove and gooseberry perfume, and she wears black and white clothes."

"You're talking about Yennefer of Wengerburg?" Xie Yuan confirmed after raising his glass and drinking it down.

Before Geralt could say anything, Xie Yuan suddenly turned to look at the proprietress: "Three more bottles of spirits!"

Then he looked back at Geralt: "I do know where Ms. Yennefer is going after-after all, I am one of the parties involved, but I suggest you go to the local garrison and ask Captain Guan Li better-this is the official answer."

Then Xie Yuan immediately kept silent, because the proprietress soon came behind, holding three bottles of Temeria Champion, and Xie Yuan also readily paid 31 crowns—the extra one was a tip.

Then he handed Geralt a bottle: "Captain Guan Li is having a headache with the griffin. If you can help solve the problem of the griffin, I can guarantee that he will satisfy you."

"Oh... what do you need?" Geralt understood Xie Yuan's meaning and asked directly.

"Actually, I think it's easier for you to ask Captain Guan Li. After all, I want a lot of things."

As Xie Yuan spoke, he took advantage of the distance between two bottles of spirits to pat lightly, and five strips of gold suddenly appeared on the table like this: "I will tell you the ins and outs of the matter, and I will also subsidize your five small yellow croakers, but you have to help I will deal with the two monsters that are here and disturbing the villagers—the griffin beast and a spirit monster."

"Hiss~~" Xie Yuan's boldness even surprised Geralt, because Xie Yuan gave too much.

These are five pieces of gold that seem to weigh one ounce. According to the current conversion, they are equivalent to more than 1000 florins and more than 3000 crowns... This is just a conservative estimate.

Generally speaking, demon hunters of course hope that the task rewards are as high as possible, and they can increase proportionally as the difficulty of monsters increases.

But in terms of industry standards, the remuneration for any single entrustment does not exceed 600 crowns, which is equivalent to within 200 florins, which is already a high standard remuneration, not to mention that Geralt's most common remuneration is only three Four hundred crowns, and sometimes even have to do white work.

Did the man in front of him really give him a reward for completing ten difficult tasks in order to deal with two monsters?

Give me ten of such fools!
But Geralt's eyes widened for a while, and he still insisted on asking a question: "You offer such a generous price...do you have any additional conditions?"

"Yes." Xie Yuan nodded, "There are a few additional requests: one of your two actions, I need to follow you all the way in the final clearing stage-if possible, you can also answer some questions for me by the way."

"Two, as you can see, I'm a foreigner. I'm from Serikania and further east. When I first came to Guibao Land, I urgently need to learn about the local knowledge and find a teacher. In terms of history, I look at the table just now. The professor is good, but the local herbalist doesn’t really want to teach me the knowledge of herbs and local organisms... This may be due to my position. Demon hunters have traveled all over the world for so many years, so they should have a lot of experience in medicine. I don’t know if they are willing to teach I."

"Hmm... you're not a local... no wonder," Geralt suddenly realized, but his expression was full of consideration, "why do you want to watch me eliminate monsters?"

"I want to try clearing monsters by myself when I have time."

Looking at Geralt's slightly mocking eyes, Xie Yuan also knew that the other party was laughing at his own self-control, so he simply catered to this prejudice: "So I just want to see what happens to a monster who is under commission. Combat power, seeing is believing, if things cannot be done, dispel this illusion early.”

"Of course," Xie Yuan also shook his head slightly, "If you are worried that I will steal your business after I finish my studies, I can promise not to participate in this business...but I insist on taking a look with you and asking for some advice at the same time. The knowledge of medicine and alchemy, as my credentials as a traveling doctor when I walk around the streets."

"Don't provoke me, the business is not so easy now, but I'm not going to take an apprentice without food... let alone whether you have the ability or not."

Geralt seemed indifferent to this: "As for herbs, that's even more of a problem. With our joint actions, I can tell you what the properties of any animals and plants you find on the road are effective—basically, all the medicines here in the Northland have different effects." The climate is very uniform here, and the plants that you find here can be found elsewhere.”

"Then it's settled." Xie Yuan said and pushed the five small gold bars to Geralt.

The latter also carefully and hastily stuffed the gold bars into his pocket, and then said to Xie Yuan nonchalantly, "Then tell me about Yennefer."

"Can't be here," Xie Yuan looked around and shook his head, "I'll tell you later on the road when I report to Captain Guan Li with you - this road is very remote, suitable for secret talks while traveling."

"Going to find the garrison?!" Geralt raised his brows high, he was very jealous of looking for the army.

"What? Do you think you don't need to report to the official agency when you come to the local area?! In case the local leaders take this opportunity to blame you for disrespect, how can you carry it if you are not official?"

Then he turned his head to look at Geralt: "And the small transaction between us doesn't need to be known, don't you want two bounties?"

"...Okay." After thinking about it, Geralt thought it made sense, so he agreed, "When are you leaving?"

"I'm going to talk to that professor for a few minutes later, you go out and deal with the hooligans outside the tavern who are going to pick on you—it shouldn't be too long, right?"

Xie Yuan hasn't finished drinking the wine and talking, so of course he doesn't want to leave so quickly.

Geralt frowned a little, but he relaxed quickly: "It's only a matter of ten seconds, don't make me wait too long."

"If you solve it quickly, maybe you can go out the door and go to the center on the right to receive the notice outside the village—go visit the victim who I plan to let you deal with spirit monsters first." Xie Yuan thought After thinking about it, I made a suggestion.

Geralt accepted the proposal, so he stood up, took the wine by the way, and said something to the old witcher, and Xie Yuan also waved to the old witcher as a greeting.

"Wezemir, this is my demon hunter mentor" Geralt belatedly introduced Xie Yuan's identity as an old demon hunter, and then introduced it to Wezemir in turn, "This is Xie Yuan, from the Far East. A traveler in the land of Yennefer, who has first-hand information about Yennefer, but I have to do something for him first."

"Why are you suddenly not in a hurry?!" Vesemir was a little surprised.

"After all, kindness is hard to refuse." Then Geralt shook hands with him, and Wizemir, who touched the two foreign objects in Geralt's palm, looked down——

In an instant, a hearty smile appeared on his face: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with doing something for a new friend—Geralt, go get busy and tell the old man the information later."

"Count me in then." Xie Yuan left the table after speaking, and came to the professor's table with a glass and another bottle of wine.

"Hello, can the professor teach me how to play the game just now? My hands are itchy."

And Geralt bid farewell to Vesemir with a look, then walked to the door and opened it——

Sure enough, there were three men with grim faces at the fence, blocking his way in the yard aggressively.

"Made, that's quite accurate!" Geralt took a deep breath, and then went up to meet him.
