Olivia met the legendary witcher of the School of the Wolf – Geralt of Rivia. Geralt had milk-white hair. The dryads of Brokilon called him "Gwynbleidd," which meant "White Wolf" in the ancient language. He also had a terrifying nickname, "The Butcher of Blavikan," which originated from a bloody incident in Blavikan.
In Blavikan, Geralt had killed an entire gang of bandits and their leader, Renfri, to save the lives of innocent villagers. To the general public, what Geralt had done was a senseless massacre. However, they did not know that Renfri had intended for her and her bandits to massacre the villagers.
From this incident, it could be seen that Geralt, a witcher, was different from traditional witchers. Generally speaking, witchers on the continent obeyed this rule:
1. Strictly maintain neutrality. Do not get involved in political and commercial conspiracies.
2. Hunt monsters that harm people for rewards. Rewards are negotiable and proportional to the risk involved. Neither work for free, nor do you ask for an exorbitant price.
3. Do not accept requests other than from monsters that harm people. Do not become mercenaries or killers. Do not kill intelligent non-human races. Do not kill wild beasts or foreign beasts that are harmless to humans. Do not accept requests to disperse locusts or rats.
4. If you are forced by your own conscience or circumstances to act chivalrously, or even point your sword at humans, you must leave quietly after the deed is done. Do not accept any rewards or other benefits.
The so-called "Witcher's Code" was like an enhanced professional ethics. It was summed up by the previous generations of demon hunters from various experiences. The purpose was to maintain a low profile and neutrality, to reduce the rejection and discrimination of the world. At the same time, to avoid the hostility and attacks of political forces. However, this code was purely a personal moral constraint. If a witcher wanted to ignore the code of neutrality, no one else could know about it.
Of course, Olivia did not know who Geralt was. He was riding on a brown horse, and he looked very tall. He wore the equipment of a witcher of the School of the Wolf. He looked different from an ordinary knight. He seemed to be filled with the aura of a "strong man."
Of course, Geralt was very handsome. However, there was a hideous scar on his left cheek. The scar extended from top to bottom and passed through his cat-like eyes. It was caused by Spara's Chicken Snake Stone.
Since Geralt was a stranger to Olivia, she could not use the game system's "Character Information Bar" to check on the past of this "strong man."
From his appearance alone, this ferocious, white-haired man with a short ponytail and an unshaven beard did not look like a good person. Compared to the perfect and handsome Vilgefortz, the latter was definitely more decent.
Ermion only glanced at him a few times, then went back to her painting.
Geralt, on the other hand, felt that something was wrong. As a detective, no, a witcher, he could always find clues from the smallest of clues. He would use his cat-like eyes to track them down. It was like pressing the right mouse button, and the world would darken. The clues would turn yellow, red …
After some observation, he found that this loli was about ten years old. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes. No matter how you looked at it, she did not come from an ordinary family. Her long silver hair hung down to her waist. She was so beautiful. In short, this little loli was definitely from a noble family.
Here came the problem. Such a beautiful and noble girl did not have any guards around her. Were the elders of this girl too careless? Were they not afraid that something bad would happen to her?
This world was not a peaceful one. It would be fine if she ran into a decent witcher like him. If she ran into bandits or robbers, he could not imagine what would happen to this little girl!
Those true desperados did not care how noble their status was. As long as they had the guts, they would dare to do anything!
Just as Geralt was deep in thought, his expression suddenly became solemn. He realized that a thick fog had slowly appeared around him and the girl!
It was evening, and the light from the setting sun was still strong. Logically speaking, there should not be fog at this time …
The appearance of the thick fog reduced the visibility of the surroundings to extremely low. Suddenly, there was light in the fog. It gave off a warm feeling, tempting people to walk towards it.
Geralt only saw the elegant and delicate girl put down her brush. She looked curiously at the light in the thick fog, and then, she actually wanted to walk towards it!
Geralt cursed the naughty child in his heart. He quickly dismounted and blocked the girl's movement. Then, he used his magnetic and mellow voice and said as gently as possible, "If you are still in the swamp at night, it is best to stay where you are and wait for the sunrise, even if you have to stand in waist-deep water to feed the leeches. Most importantly, if you see light in the fog, never, ever walk towards it. "
Ermion looked confused. Her voice was innocent, light, and melodious. It could easily arouse the desire of others to protect her. "Swamp? But we are only at the edge of the forest … "
Geralt had already unsheathed his silver sword and took out a bottle of ghoul oil. He skillfully smeared it on while reciting a monster encyclopedia. "The fog is the enemy of travelers. In the forest, it can cause people to lose their way. In the sea, it can cause ships to crash into submerged reefs. But this kind of danger paled in comparison to the little fog demons in the fog. Little fog monsters have strong arms and claws, but the real danger lies in their ability to deceive, lure, and confuse people. Little fog monsters often do not need to attack people. They only need to drive their prey crazy into the swamp, and then wait for their prey to drown in the water. Girl, you are very lucky to have met me, a professional witcher. Otherwise … "
Geralt did not continue, but his meaning was clear. Without him, this cute little loli would have been killed by the little fog monster, and then eaten to the point where not even her bones would be left.
However, what surprised Geralt was that the girl in his eyes didn't have any fear on her face. Instead, she looked like she was eager to hunt.
What he did not know was that the girl had just received a green "Witcher's Quest" — to help witchers kill little fog monsters.
Other than skill points, the quest reward also included a "Little Fog Monster Decoction Recipe."
