Thanks to Chen Mo's mass killing, the process of the crusade team the next day went smoothly. It was like an armed parade in the back garden of one's home. It was even easier than Germany's attack on Denmark. There were no obstacles along the way. This made
The Bloody Baron couldn't help but express his heartfelt sighs.
"The swamp is really quiet today!"
"They probably diverted all their combat power to besiege us last night!"
"There are powerful wizards and demon hunters in the team to help, so I have to work harder to rescue Anna!"
The baron's optimism made Chen Mo also fall silent, because the words sounded so familiar, but the subwoofer he brought did not contain the flower of hope. Is it possible that he had to sing it manually?
When the team entered the center of the swamp, the mud and shrubs in front of them had disappeared, and were replaced by a few thatched houses that were relatively intact and even smelled of smoke.
In front of the house, there is a decaying sign with the words "Humpback Swamp" written in graffiti-like writing.
In the thatched house, children could be heard whispering.
"Is anyone home?"
Chen Mo asked the others to stay put and knocked on the door. Then several children ran out of the house without wiping their noses.
"Look, he is a good-looking big brother!"
A little girl circled Chen Mo and said loudly to her little friend.
Other children chirped and voiced their objections.
"He's not as good-looking as me!"
"Grandma said that the girls in the village like good-looking men!"
"I'm a girl too!"
"You are not a girl. Girls all have nappies, but you don't!"
After all, he was a child, so the topic easily changed. Seeing that several children were about to quarrel over the topic of whether the girl had a baby, Chen Mo decisively took out the candy he brought.
"Kid, candy!"
With a big smile, Chen Mo poured out a bag of candies to these children. After hesitating for a few seconds, each of the children stuffed a full bag for themselves, and their mouths were full of stuff.
"After eating the candy, can you tell me where your adults have gone?"
Several children hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of candy, they pointed to the depths of the swamp.
"Grandma went to dig wild vegetables for us!"
Then Chen Mo gave them a bunch of snacks and toys and told them to stay in the house and not come out.
"Mrs. Anna is not here, but she will be back soon!"
"What about the three witches of the swamp?"
Geralt looked around. It was hard for him to believe that there was such a quiet paradise in a swamp full of dangers. How could these children survive here with only one woman?
"It may be around us, or it may not have appeared yet!"
Chen Mo glanced at the thatched house and then continued.
"These children are the food reserves of the three witches. Otherwise, how could we survive here if we relied on them?"
"I see!"
Geralt nodded. The Baron's men may not be good at fighting, but there is no problem in protecting these children. As for the three witches of the swamp, let him deal with them!
After a while, a wrinkled old woman came over from a distance carrying a vegetable basket. When she noticed the noise in the camp, she obviously hesitated for a while, but still came over, ignoring the people waiting at the house.
The baron, Chen Mo and others outside walked straight towards Geralt.
"You must leave, you are not welcome here!"
The old woman was the Baron's wife. When she tried to escape with her daughter, she was kidnapped because of the curse of three witches. Then she came to the swamp to take care of these orphans. She thought she could end her life, but she found that the Baron was actually looking for her.
After coming over, although she was a little touched, but thinking of the sad past, this touch instantly turned into hatred.
"We are here for you and these kids!"
Geralt explained.
"Mrs. Lin Zhong does not want to raise these children, but uses them as food. This place is too dangerous for them!"
"Impossible, Madam is not who you say! These children are outside without enough food and clothing, but Madam took them in!"
The old woman trembled with anger. If the wild vegetables in her hand hadn't been related to dinner, she might have slapped Geralt in the face.
"Then did your wife say why she wanted to take in these children?"
Although Geralt's flat and cold voice is not conducive to making friends, it is quite convincing when explaining the facts, after all, he does not get ahead of himself.
The Baroness' anger subsided, but she also noticed something was wrong. In fact, she raised many children, but some of them had been taken away by Mrs. Lin Zhong a few days ago. It was said at the time that these children had found new adoptive families, but
The Baroness always felt something was wrong. Now that I think about it carefully, it is really suspicious!
Because she lost a child, the Baroness cherished the orphans she raised even though they ate too much, made noises, and did not wipe their butts after going to the toilet.
"Actually, I have an idea that I can try on your ladies!"
Chen Mo simply walked into the other party's house. In the center of the room, there was a gorgeous blanket hanging. The pattern on the blanket was of three peerless beauties. These were the three mysterious witches in the eyes of ordinary people.
Anna and the three witches did not communicate directly, but communicated through this blanket. In fact, she herself had never seen each other's true face.
"Go tell your lady that the orphanage in Novigrad wants to take these children away!"
Seeing Chen Mo's smile as if he was sure of victory, Mrs. Anna nodded mysteriously, then walked to the blanket and softly called Mrs. Lin Zhong.
Within ten seconds, a strong wind suddenly blew in the swamp, causing the frightened horses to neigh, and the candlelight in the room began to flicker crazily.
Immediately afterwards, a slightly majestic female voice came from all directions.
"My servant, why do you call us?"
"Madam, that's it!"
Anna repeated Chen Mo's words, and added a few words of praise for the Novigrad Orphanage, saying that these orphans could live a better life there. However, the next second, a sharp roar filled everyone's ears.
"How dare you decide whether our little cutie should stay or go, you bitch!"
Almost instantly, Anna clutched her arm and cried out in pain. Marks like fire marks appeared on her arm, and a roar like thunder came from outside the window.
Chen Mo turned his head and saw only foam rising in the swamp water, accompanied by a foul smell, and then a thick fog surrounded him as if it had been thrown in front of everyone.
