Chapter 49: Chapter 49
Chapter 49 49. Near Condale
The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground is anything but pleasant.
Especially when this strong war horse also carries a murderous demon hunter weighing more than 150 kilograms on its back.
It is completely different from the sunny and cheerful knight parade in the bard's description. The menacing armored Lann is tall and strong.
The jet-black war horse under his crotch is one meter six meters tall at the shoulders.
When such a combination is running on the country roads of Willen with a rampant momentum, it is almost reminiscent of the ghost knight spread in the countryside horror stories, the Ghost Rider-Wild Hunt!
"Sir, I must remind you again - please remain calm."
Mentos stopped talking nonsense at this time.
To be honest, it would rather Lan En started humming a song now, or holding a jar of honey in his hand and feeding it to his mouth like a bear.
Burning with rage, he brought all his equipment to fight with at least dozens of vicious cannibals. This is crazy!
The "crazy" here does not refer to whether it can win or not. Mentos has a little confidence in Lan En and himself in this regard.
After all, they are just a group of criminals.
Demon hunters have good tolerance and recover their physical strength quickly. But Lan En doesn't want to fight an opponent who doesn't know the situation with half full physical strength.
Originally, it would have taken two to three days to ride from Oriden to the Condale area mentioned by Willis.
This kind of non-directional sniffing will feedback a lot of messy and useless information.
After it borders the mainland, it is considered a hilly terrain, and a small village with only a few households is built on the top of the highest mountain.
That village is Kangdale. I heard that the soil and climate are very suitable for growing flowers, so the main source of income in the village is various flowers.
After a while, the young demon hunter walked into a simple camp with the air of a passerby.
Because even they themselves don't know the name of the valley where they are.
Maintaining the top status very smoothly!
"I'm calm, Mentos."
Mentos said nothing.
"Stop, Popper."
~~~~~~
Relying on the witcher's ultra-high tolerance body, Lan En's continuous riding time is only limited by Poppy's recovery speed.
But Lan En and Poppy, who was almost out of breath, took less than a whole day to get close to the target.
As long as a plan is made and the enemy's situation is well investigated, even if it is an inefficient assassination, if more than a dozen people are gone, the organization will fall apart.
Raising his head slightly, Lan En took a deep breath in the air that was filled with the smell of sea because it was close to the sea.
finally
"The smell of firewood?"
There have been showers but no thunderstorms in Willen in recent days, so it is unlikely that lightning caused the fire.
This excellent war horse will not be able to run away in a short period of time, and he himself also needs to recuperate the energy consumed by riding for a long time in the process of walking.
The golden forty-eight hours of rescuing lost children were tied to Lan En's heart like a noose of death.
A pair of slightly lit cat eyes suddenly opened.
This is not a camp for cannibals. Although they set up their tents in an inconspicuous place, it is more to avoid the wind than to avoid people.
The sound of the horse's hoofs "clack-clack-clack" made the pile of odds and ends that Lan En placed on the saddlebags sway.
Because this area is really poor and remote, with too many hills to count.
Lan En's steady voice interrupted the intelligent voice in his head, and he emphasized again.
But there is no doubt about the magic of geological landforms. Within this fifty-meter interval, there are endless complex terrains such as ravines, valleys, ravines, and streams, which can hide many secrets.
Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly, he dismounted and led Poppy forward.
There are no well-known knights, warriors, or demon hunters on the opposite side, so it is unlikely that ordinary people will lose.
Moreover, as Lan En advances in academic qualifications in the future and approaches a well-educated adult member, its authority as a learning aid will be further transferred to the subject.
The sea breeze brought dark clouds from the sky, and the air began to smell of earth.
It has done what a biological brain should do, and all that is left is to follow orders.
What really worries Mentos now is Lan En's mental state.
The locals are not in the mood to give each mountain a name.
Condale is the only visible human settlement here. They live on the top of the mountain, and the smell of cooking cannot reach here.
Lan En pulled the reins on the horse's back, causing the nearly exhausted horse to slow down.
If being anxious was useful, there wouldn't be so much nonsense in the world.
It's said to be a camp, but it's actually just a large tarp supported by several wooden slats, with several storage boxes and packages inside.
But dozens of "sword against sword" games.
"Huchihuchi-"
"The coastal, hilly landscape is around here."
That's why Willis said their camp was "near Condale," which was a vague statement.
The general direction is right, whether he can find the rest depends on his ability.
In the mental curve chart it drew up, Lan En's emotional curve is now very stable.
To Lan En, a disorganized organization is not "dozens of swords against one sword."
The demon hunter's extraordinary sense tube began to operate, and the world became distorted and gorgeous in his eyes.
"No wonder a group of wandering cannibals want to camp here."
Even though Lan En was standing far away now, he could still see the vast swaths of brilliant colors on the hillside.
There are people living in the wild.
Lan En's brows wrinkled, then relaxed again.
"I'm calm now."
They have neither the discipline nor vigilance of a professional army, nor the killing and investigation skills of a professional army.
He patted the side of Poppy's face and fed him a carrot, while the cat looked around keenly.
Although Lan En was anxious, he was still able to carefully identify every trace under his astonishing emotional control.
Fortunately, Lan En and Mentos both have some confidence in their abilities.
A brief summary of this terrain is that it is a hill protruding from the seabed to above the sea.
The biological intelligence brain only has the authority to guide and remind, but not to make decisions.
Meticulous planning requires a calm executor.
Fifty meters does not sound like much.
So much for Willis's dying instructions.
This is the only answer!
Lan En held Poppy's hand and followed the scent he smelled.
It's going to rain again in Willen.
Lan En was anxious, but he was also trying his best to suppress his anxiety.
And as time passes, this "noose" is constantly tightening!
The level difference between the village and the horizon is about fifty meters.
"The smell of sea, earth, feces. It's from beasts, not people, horses or hounds. Calm down and be serious!"
"suck-"
A fire was set up in the open space in front of the tarp.
Let alone dozens or hundreds of people, even thousands of people scattered on this land can be hidden if they want to.
There are many people, but the loose organizational structure itself is a breakthrough.
But given the current situation, it would be good to ask one more person.
Lan En walked directly towards the small camp without stopping.
