Sir Villiers barely managed to catch his breath.

Facing the demon hunter who interrupted his speech, Lord White Orchard shouted: "You are not qualified to choose the trial, guard--"

This time, the witcher did not let the guard who was showing off his power with the scabbard go. He turned around and kicked the guard to the ground with a low sweep, causing the group of people around him to feel as if they were facing a great enemy, but the witcher did not chase him again.

He turned to the villagers who were looking at him with fear, rejection, and faint excitement, and shouted loudly: "I am Kolgrim, I am a demon hunter! Just a month ago, I drove away a group of water ghosts for the villagers in Velen; half a month ago, I eliminated a group of ghouls in Mabolli; three days ago, I came here and didn't even have the chance to draw my sword!"

He pointed at the beekeeper: "I saw him get drunk and beat his wife, and then tried to sell honey to me, a stranger, at three times the market price. I don't know where his children are. The last time I saw him, I saw him walking towards the Ishmina River, that's all!"

"I have never harmed anyone in White Orchard. On the contrary, my sword and dagger have helped your country to get rid of many troubles. You think we witchers are desperate criminals who can be dealt with for a few dozen crowns. You once wanted to buy my life with that little money. And now, just because you saw my yellow eyes, you declare me guilty?"

The demon hunter turned to look at the Lord of White Orchard who was sitting on the high seat, and said loudly: "I can't get justice here, and your trial is not fair at all. I know you won't let me go, and I don't expect your ridiculous truth. Give me a trial and let fate bear witness to my innocence, and then I will leave. When you find that poor child one day, you will know how wrong you are!"

The Lord of White Orchard looked at the noisy crowd. For a moment he was somewhat intimidated by the demon hunter's momentum, but then he became angry and humiliated.

Facing this demon hunter who spoke rudely to him in his own territory, he shouted: "You are not qualified to apply for trial. My judgment is the final justice! If you do not accept the final dignity of the death penalty, then you can only become the honor under my sword!"

The villagers watched the quarrel between the witcher and their lord, and the expressions on their faces became more excited than before. They saw that the lord's guards began to put their hands on their swords, and it was obvious that a clash of knives and blood would break out in a moment.

The smart people have already started looking around and preparing to escape to avoid being implicated.

Lann hugged his shoulders and watched the whole farce in front of him. He didn't know the demon hunter in front of him, but he was familiar with the famous White Orchard injustice case. After all, this could be said to be the first impressive mission in the game.

He knew that the witcher would eventually accept the trial with full confidence, enter a certain catacombs, and leave a letter before taking action.

However, the demon hunters' exorcism requires thorough investigation and preparation, and the snake-faction demon hunters who rush into battle will eventually be killed by demons that are several times their own size.

It was only after his death that people discovered that the missing little boy had actually died at the hands of a water ghost.

However, it was too late, and the unjust case against the stranger did not shock the locals. No one regretted or felt guilty, and the story was even deliberately forgotten by everyone until Geralt accidentally sensed the fluctuation of magic and entered the tomb full of demons, which made this dusty story come to light.

If he could save this demon hunter from the Snake School, Lan would naturally lend a helping hand. He knew that the demon hunter in front of him came from the Snake School, a school established in Nilfgaard, and was good at using poison, and his fighting style was close to that of an assassin.

The Snake School, like the Cat School, was one of those schools that could not make a living due to the scarcity of monsters, and eventually began to accept commissions to kill people, which to some extent ruined the reputation of the demon hunters.

However, their professional level is much higher than that of the Cat School, and their reputation is so great that they even attracted the former ruler of Nilfgaard to recruit them. In the end, the ruler of Nilfgaard was ruthless and sent troops to attack them. If they could not get them, they would destroy them. Now there are only two or three small snakes left in the Snake School.

But even so, in later generations, the School of the Viper created amazing battle records. Their school leader was able to slaughter an entire ship of people, including the king and the royal advisory warlock, without getting hurt, and even defeated Geralt head-on many times.

For the rulers of a country, the snake school is obviously more useful than cats, wolves, bears, etc. Moreover, they are completely different from the crazy cat school. They belong to the kind of school that can communicate and even have feelings and righteousness.

In Lan's plan, if the Demon Hunter Order is to be established in the future, the Viper School is an indispensable piece of the puzzle.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to contact the snake demon hunter that appeared in the original game, but he didn't expect to meet a member who existed in the background story at this time.

The grace of saving a life is more important than any other bargaining chip, especially for a demon hunter who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

It’s just that my identity and the place I’m in are a bit too sensitive now. This is not Cintra, and I can’t stage a robbery, right?

Lann was planning in his mind that maybe when Kolgrim went to the tomb alone, it would be a good time to intervene...

Lan was thinking, but he didn't realize that he had attracted other people's attention at this moment.

"There's another demon hunter here!"

A panicked scream rang out.

It turned out that a villager who was slowly retreating after seeing the tense atmosphere at the scene saw Lann, and he was immediately stunned by the pair of dark golden lion eyes.

Compared to the bound snake-faction demon hunter Kolgrim on the platform, Lann and the well-equipped soldiers around him are even more frightening.

"There are so many of them, and so many knives and swords!"

"They are here to rescue criminals. Run, run!"

The villager screamed, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

The people around Lann scattered with a loud noise, isolating him and the servants and soldiers he brought with him.

Zoltan pulled the resentful Yarpan, not wanting to get involved in this mess. A glass of wine would not make the dwarves stand on Lann's side at this time, and he had to be responsible for his dwarf brothers.

Who knew that Yarpan seemed to be drunk at this moment, or he had been furious about this farce of a trial, and at this moment he was stubborn and refused to move.

"Yarpen!" Zoltan cried anxiously.

"Monster Hunter!" All the villagers were terrified. Their eyes fell on the number of people in Lann's group, their armor, and their swords. As for Lann, they only took a quick look at him at the beginning and no longer paid any attention to him.

To them, steel is far more terrifying than yellow eyes.

"My Lord Earl, how about we retreat first?" House put his hand on the hilt of the sword and blocked Lann behind him. "The situation here is not right. We can come back and question the lord here later."

Sir Villiers on the stage stared at the lion emblem on Lann's chest for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "No, no, no, no one is allowed to be rude, he is..."

He spoke too late.

The beekeeper's face had already turned red when he was questioned by Kolgrim. He was at the back of the group.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Lan, perhaps the guards around him gave him courage, or maybe it was ignorance that made him fearless, anyway, at this moment he did something that no one present expected.

"Monster Hunter!" The beekeeper roared loudly, as if he really had some deep hatred.

"He~tui!"

He spat at Lan.

The soldiers and servants brought by Lann were silent for a second, looking at the beekeeper.

The Lord of White Orchard on the high seat turned his head blankly and looked at the beekeeper.

"Low! People!" House, who had just suggested that Lann temporarily retreat, roared and drew his sword, "How dare you insult the Earl!"

All the Cintra cavalry drew their weapons at this moment, vowing to fight to the death even if the person in front of them was the King of Temeria.

Lan's lion eyes looked around the audience, taking in the reactions of both sides.

He himself was not really angry. Emotionally, his tolerance for "humiliation" was higher than expected, and his dignity threshold was not as low as that of the true nobles of this era.

It's just because of his identity and position that he has to react in many cases.

After all, due to his previous life's identity and education, he has a high tolerance for some behaviors of the lower classes. Although he will do some things to make himself feel good because of "Lannister, a debt must be paid", he will not take the use of knives and guns as the first choice without any explanation.

But this time, facing the beekeeper, he felt that the humiliation was well-timed because it just solved his urgent problem.

Perhaps, this time he would not only be able to successfully establish friendship with the Snake Faction Demon Hunter, but also be able to meet King Foltest who had been avoiding him.

"House, blow the horn and rally our cavalry."

"The others—"

Lann pointed in the direction of Sir Villiers, and the villagers who were blocking the road ahead crawled and rolled to make a path in the direction he pointed.

"Go there, my soldiers!"

The onlookers, who were seeking profit and avoiding harm, hurriedly made way, allowing Lann to move forward unimpeded and preventing him from hurting innocent people.

Sir Villiers, the Lord of White Orchard and the presiding judge who came here today to enjoy the farce, was now completely pale.

"You are Lord Lannister, right? This is a misunderstanding. I will hang this beekeeper immediately. Let your people retreat first, retreat first, retreat quickly, quickly--"

"--guard!"
