The salary king in the comics

Chapter 222 Geralt's horse is of course called a radish (leader plus 410)

Hearing the news of his father's death, Jamie was a little excited. After all, he only saw his father yesterday, and he was still fine at that time.

Seeing Jamie's reaction, the blond beauty explained, "Actually, your father has been suffering from cancer for many years, and it is a miracle that he can live to this day. He had to hold on to see you for the last time..."

Hearing this, Jamie covered his face and began to cry, and at this time the handcuffs on his hands were also exposed to the beauty's eyes.

At this moment, the beauty saw the handcuffs, and then saw the police badge on the police detective's waist, and said a little uncomfortable: "Uh... I thought you were Jamie's friends... Did he commit any crime? Oh! I am Jamie's stepmother, my name is Ella..."

Compared with the age difference between Ella and Jamie, even though they understood that this was a fantasy event, all the men at the scene still expressed their admiration for Jamie's dead father.

At this time, the detective also released Jamie's handcuffs under Hill's signal.

"Let's go see your father."

Regardless of Jamie's willingness, the crowd went to his father's residence.

After passing through the entire town and arriving at a manor at the foot of the mountain, everyone had a new understanding of how rich this kind of local tyrant is.

Along the river at the foot of the mountain, the estate encompasses both banks of the river, with a large classical building erected on the small side as the residence of the master and servants, and on the other side of the river, a meadow.

There are no herds of cows and horses on the grassland, but scattered animals, and these few herbivores share the entire grassland.

And Jamie's father was being put into the coffin by the servant at the moment and placed in the center of the house.

When Jamie saw the remains of his father, he couldn't help his feelings, and stepped forward to tell his thoughts.

Clint followed Jamie to the coffin, and touched the corpse a few times.

Back to Geralt, Clint reported the situation in a low voice. "It is indeed a corpse, and there is nothing strange on the surface, and I don't have that special feeling..."

Geralt knocked on Clint, and said angrily, "If there was something special about him, he would have been dead long ago! Still need you to see it? Why don't you find out where the morgue Jamie mentioned... Don't rely too much on feeling, feeling is the most reliable and least reliable thing."

Geralt guided Clint, but he still didn't say anything. After all, in the movie "Dead Silence", Jamie's father should have been gutted and supported with wood.

But now, the corpse was indeed complete, filled with viscera as well, but Clint couldn't see the difference in the viscera.

In Geralt's perception, the internal organs were carved out of wood, and they were given vitality through some means. This only used partial vitality, and then put them together as a whole to make the whole body move.

And this kind of subtle method is not an overall endowment operation, and there is no strong power response. With Clint's current ability, he can't see anything wrong with Jamie's father's body at all.

Clint is sent to find the morgue, while Hill joins the detectives to investigate strange events in the town.Only Geralt was left empty.

Going around in the manor, Geralt saw some vessels stained with dark power, but none of them were critical.

Geralt found nothing useful until he left the building.

When he came to the edge of the river, Geralt realized that Ella was playing with animals on the opposite grassland.

The animals on the pasture did not have any resistance to Ella. Instead, under the temptation of food, they were very willing to get close to Ella.The animals only scattered when Geralt approached.

However, there was still a huge black horse, lying on the ground and refusing to leave like a fool.Ella brushes it and feeds it carrots.

"Does it have a name?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Ella didn't react excitedly, she just petted the horse calmly and watched it eat the carrot.

"No, all the animals on this pasture have no names..."

"You have to get one, or how can you tell the difference..."

"It's fine if I know them, but they may not remember me in the future..."

Geralt didn't know how to respond to Ella's pessimistic reaction.

In Geralt's eyes, Ella's entire body was made of wood, a living doll.

But there is no dark power in this puppet, she is driven entirely by her own soul.

While Geralt was thinking, Ella patted the black horse on the ground and pulled it up from the ground.When the black horse stood up, Geralt realized that the horse was more than two meters tall with bare shoulders.

"Sharma?"

It was also the first time for Geralt to see this kind of horse. This is the largest horse breed in the world. The height at the shoulders is generally more than two meters, and the weight is generally more than one ton. No chance, the back is too wide, and the rider is difficult to control, so that no one dares to ride.

Shire horses eat a lot, and one horse can eat as much as four ordinary horses. The choice of being far away from the battlefield allows it to be used as a draft horse breed to give full play to its strength advantages. In addition, the number is rare. The number of purebreds does not exceed three thousand horses.

Hearing Geralt mention the breed of the horse, Ela suddenly became interested in talking.She eloquently introduced everything about the dark horse to Geralt.

After talking with Geralt for a long time, Ella asked: "Geralt, if you were asked to name this horse, what would you choose?"

Hearing this question, Geralt replied without thinking: "Carrot!"

"Is it because it likes to eat carrots?"

"No, it's just that I, Geralt, can only name horses carrots..."

Geralt mentioned the name of the carrot, which made Ella feel that this name has a special meaning to Geralt.

Under Geralt's disbelieving eyes, Ella handed the reins of the black Shire horse into Geralt's hands.

"In this case, I will entrust you to take care of Carrot from now on, Geralt..."

Before Geralt could reply, Ella left the area.

At this moment, seeing Ella leave, Carrot stomped his hoof unhappily and snorted at Geralt.

Geralt has rich experience in domesticating this kind of animal.I saw that Geralt let go of his arrogance, threatening Carrot that if he messes around again, he will boil you! '

In an instant, Carrot returned to a quiet state.

Looking at Ella's figure, Geralt muttered to himself, "It's not easy to cut people with a sword after taking something from someone... We have to find a way to repay the favor..."

When Geralt looked back again, he found that Carrot was lying on the ground like before, refusing to get up.

"If you don't get up again, I will cook you..."

Faced with such a threat, Luo Bo was stunned for a moment, and then chose himself between the threat and the being threatened.

Carrot lay on the ground and chirped back to Geralt's threat.

'Without three, without five carrots, I won't get up. '

Seeing the rascal appearance of the horse, it was impossible for Geralt to really kill it and eat meat.

"Do you want to eat the moss ball? What about the moss ball fruit?"

Wait for everyone to gather again and explain the previous exploration results to each other.

Clint: "The morgue is at the bottom of the house, but the access is outside in a separate courtyard."

Hill: "The story of Mary Shaw, who was a former ventriloquist performer, was largely investigated because a child who had seen a show dismantled her and disappeared after seeing it.

People in the town identified Mary Shaw as a kidnapper and murderer. Angry town residents caught her, cut off her tongue cruelly and killed her. "

Geralt: "I got a horse, I called it Carrot, and it kind of likes to eat carrots and moss balls..."

Geralt's statement attracted everyone's puzzled eyes.

After being watched unbearably, Geralt could only beg for mercy and explain what he understood.

"Who can guarantee that Mary Xiao is innocent? Not far from here is the sacrificial ground for witches. Clint, do you still remember the question I asked you?"

Being suppressed by Geralt all day long, and Geralt's occasional class content has occupied most of Clint's brain capacity.

Just when Clint recalled, Hill gave the answer and said: "Geralt asked 'the tree that was spawned by the witch's sacrifice, where did the other branches go'."

It was Geralt's tone of resentment when he taught Clint again: "Who is Mary Shaw? A ventriloquist? A puppet show performer? Or... a collaborator of the witch..."

In Geralt's words, everyone thought of a cooperation system.

The witch gained strength from hell by offering sacrifices to nourish the tree she hanged herself, while Mary Xiao captured the children and handed them to the witch, who gave Mary Shaw the tree that gave birth so that she could make more puppets.

"It is said that Mary Shaw originally made 101 ventriloquist puppets for performances, and after that incident, all the people who participated in her trial died one after another, and the cause of death was exactly the same.

Since then, the nursery rhyme of Mary Xiao has spread in the town. Anyone who sees Mary Xiao will be mercilessly killed by her if she screams. "

Thinking of the punishment of pulling out the tongue, Geralt couldn't help but think of the silent goddess Rosalia, for whom her followers also offered their tongues.

Geralt badly imagined how unfortunate it would be when Mary Shaw met Rosalia's finger with her tongue.

Thinking about this, Geralt couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Clint poked Geralt to remind him: "Wake up, Geralt, you're laughing out loud, what's so funny?"

"I got a Shire horse, a purebred one, am I not kidding?"

Re-stabilizing his emotions, Geralt asked Clint to find Jamie, the man who had escaped from Mary Shaw.

In Jamie's sad mood, Geralt made his request.

"Jamie, I'm going to burn your father's remains right away."

Jamie, who left home young, passed away the day after seeing his father, and now someone told him to burn his father immediately.

But Jamie is not an idiot. The kind of person who refuses the advice of professionals can't survive 10 minutes in a horror movie.

Even reluctantly, Jamie agreed to Geralt's request despite the grief in his heart.

Soon in the open space outside, the wood was laid out, and Jamie's father's coffin was placed on it.

Jamie endured the grief, but still lit the flame. Under the scorching of the flame, Jamie's father's whole body burned.

"Geralt, something is wrong! How could the body burn so fast?"

Clint compared the coffin that had only burned a little bit, but the corpse inside the coffin had already been completely burned, and the raging fire inside the coffin even overwhelmed the flames outside.

"Of course it's not right. Only the outer skin is left, and everything inside is filled with wood. Of course it will burn faster than the treated hardwood like a coffin..."

Facing Geralt's explanation, Clint recalled his own inspection, the touch and the hardness under the skin were indeed exactly the same as ordinary corpses.

Just when Geralt was about to speak, Clint rushed to answer: "I remember! I remember! Don't blindly believe in feelings. Feelings are the most reliable and the most unreliable!"

"Since you know, take your sword and chop that thing..."

Geralt pointed to a half-revealed figure in the shadow of a distant building.

Seeing this figure, Jamie was excited at first, then terrified.That was clearly his dead wife.

The police detective took the lead in launching the attack. Ever since he knew that there were strange creatures, he never left his shotgun.

Two cannonballs hit Jamie's wife before Clint, one of which hit her head, causing a cloud of blood to burst from behind her head, and the entire skull was blown away.

However, Jamie's wife just fell backwards, fell halfway, and stood up abruptly.

From the wound, it could be seen that her head was filled with all kinds of squirming flesh and blood. She even opened her mouth and stretched out her long tongue to pick up the blown-off skull and put it back in place.

Jamie hid behind the detective, watching everything in front of him in horror.

Clint was at the freak's side when the skull was placed.

The flame-enchanted long sword has a unique advantage against the monster's long tongue. The combination of flame and sharp weapon makes Jamie's wife's tongue useless.

And Clint also gradually learned some unique methods. I saw that he hid the flame pot in his left hand. When he was close to the maximum explosion range of the flame pot, he slammed the flame pot at the enemy's feet.

The flames burned and impacted, causing Jamie's wife to howl like a beast. At the same time, with the help of the vision of the flames, Clint quickly came to the enemy.

Pierce, pick up and smash corpses, turn around and chop off the enemy's head.Clint burned the corpse in front of him to ashes as quickly as possible.

After all this is done, the tireless Clint tries to find any signs of resurrection in the ashes.

After confirming again and again, Clint has officially dealt with a monster according to Geralt's guidance.

Just when he turned around complacently, and was about to claim credit for Geralt.

"Geralt! Watch your back!"
