As usual, Geralt was first greeted by cats and children in the village.

The spotted gray cat sunbathing on the fence at the village entrance suddenly shivered, jumped up from its lying position, and immediately began scratching the ground with its back arched, all the fur on its head and back standing on end. It kept hissing at Geralt, the witcher with the same cat-like eyes, and then hurriedly turned and ran away when the witcher approached...

It really does look like breath!

Geralt watched the fleeing cat and wanted to punch Roy hard on the shoulder again.

Cats and dragons are the only two creatures in the world that can guide chaotic energy (magic). In the sorceress Agnes's book "Mystery of Mysteries", it is recorded that all felines can clearly perceive otherworldly creatures and the dissipation of chaotic energy.

As a result, most cats can accurately locate places where magic gathers, and they prefer to stay in places rich in magic. However, witchers are also known as the "enemies of magic."

The mutations and modifications of the Trial of the Grasses allow Witchers to manipulate magic, creating a magic-depleted area around them, which is why sorcerers often fail to locate Witchers.

That's how it is. In the cat's eyes, each of these witchers is a moving, low-magic cesspool!

Don't come any closer!

Cats' panting usually means the same thing.

So can Geralt be blamed for the cat's hiss?

He actually wanted to pet those furry little things too...

No, he didn't want to pet that damn cat!

Oh, and these damn kids:

"Salute to you, white-haired one. May I touch your sword? My father once had one like this." This was the first little devil to approach the cat after it ran away.

Before Geralt could answer, the brat screamed in terror, terrified by the blood on the horse's cargo, and turned and ran.

"Big guy, is what she said true?" a villager asked repeatedly, his attitude extremely friendly.

Roy crossed his arms and said:

"See that gun on my horse? It's much taller than me. And that petrifying lizard you mentioned is even longer, and when it stands up, it's taller than my horse. What kind of venomous snake can't it swallow?"

"By the goddess Meriteli, I knew what I said was true." The village woman was both terrified and excited.

"Everyone disperse, disperse. Let the Demon Hunter go see the Lord so that he can get rid of the monsters in the forest," the village elder, who had been silent earlier, immediately spoke up, grasping the key point.

"Before, the woods were so crowded that you couldn't squeeze in, it was like a market," the village woman said, making way for others.

"Yes, there are coal miners, oil press operators, firewood gatherers, mushroom pickers, and little girls bringing meals to their sick grandmothers..." the woodcutter continued, adding:

"But what about now? Only those who want to die."

"Stop talking, let the adults go see the lord quickly. Maybe after we resolve this, we can still make it in time for the last mushroom season."

"And the pine cones, the pine cones that Jiaomu Village presented last time were truly beautiful."

"How come there are still people in Jiaomu Village who dare to collect pine cones?"

"I heard it was taken by a hunter with incredible courage and luck. Now, he's the only hunter in their village who dares to go into the forest."

……

After the scolding, all communication became much smoother.

The village elder led the way, while Roy led the horse, listening intently. He silently noted down the information that "the hunters in Jiaomu Village are behaving strangely."

Snapped!

Suddenly, a large hand patted Roy's shoulder, but this time, there was no increase in personal emotion, just a very light force.

Then Roy heard Geralt's magnetic voice ring out:

"Well done, my servant, it would have been even better if you hadn't mentioned my age."

With that, Geralt led his horse to the front.

In the past, Geralt usually responded to those who spoke ill of him with sharp sarcasm, but when there were too many people speaking ill of him, he could only remain silent when he didn't want to cause trouble.

It's so frustrating!

But now, today, he has nothing more to say, just one word—

Cool!

Unexpectedly, such direct insults were so effective and useful. However, he really couldn't bring himself to do such a tirade; his personality wouldn't allow him to do it.

Roy, watching Geralt's retreating figure silently, thought to himself without reservation:

"That tsundere!"

At that very moment, Roy's panel popped up another message, which read:

[Geralt the Witcher's Bond Level +5] He has gained Geralt's approval! (Total 10)

[+1 Demon Hunter synergy achieved!] (Total 2)

[Should I set 1 point to Demon Hunter synergy?]

"A tsundere who says one thing but does another!"

Roy added another comment, speaking up:

"Let me go take a piss first, Master Witcher."

Then, following the village elder's pointing finger, he ran to a corner of a house, unbuckled his belt, and silently recited:

"yes!"
