Chapter 134: Wandering Knight (IV)



Feeling the other party's attitude change quickly, Livia chuckled in her heart.

"Witcher, Livia."

He said seriously.

"Demon Hunting...

hunter?"

Caius repeated what he had said, "Is this your title?"

Although he did not sense any powerful aura from the black-haired young man named Livia, the marks and sword on his body could prove that his strength was not weak. The reason why he could not feel it was because his strength was weaker than his. Of course, there was another possibility, that was that he was cheating, but in today's world, such people usually died very quickly.

The person in front of me looks confident no matter how you look at him.

Caius thought secretly in his heart.

"You could say that."

Livia thought for a moment and nodded in reply. After all, he was the only witcher in the world, and it seemed that no one had used this name before, so he would use it as a title for now. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be asked by others every time he said this.

"Can you tell me about the mission now?"

Livia asked him.

"Of course, if you are on the mission, I believe it will be safer."

Caius complimented him in a somewhat skilled manner. Looking at the appearance of the 'knight' in front of him, Livia frowned slightly. This was completely different from the impression he had of a knight. The knights he had seen, such as the Shadow Leopard Knight of Kowag, Deron, Diego, the Royal Knights of Songkani, and the Knight Commander named Alios Makurein, all made him feel that they were serious and fair, and had the excellent spirit of a knight.

However, the official knight in front of him, who was said to have the title of knight, gave him a strange feeling from the beginning. Whether it was the previous one or the current compliment, he felt that the person in front of him seemed...

This may not be an accurate description, but he seems like a mercenary businessman.

If it weren't for the fact that his physique and muscles were indeed those of a well-trained knight, and if it weren't for the fact that in his perception this knight named Caius was even stronger than the bald, scarred bandit he had met before, Livia would have thought he had found the wrong person.

Although it felt a little strange, Livia did not show it. After all, she still had to ask him about the mission.

"This mission was issued by a female duke in the inner city, and the advance payment is five farangs..." "Stop, stop."

Just as Caius began to speak, Livia interrupted him, "What's wrong?"

"Female lord?"

Livia confirmed with him with some doubt.

"Well, it is said that she seems to be the daughter of a baron, and was engaged to a viscount. However, it seems that not long after she got married, the viscount's husband died of a sudden illness. Since this family was the last heir to the viscount, the viscount's mother let her inherit the title of viscount."

Caius thought about it and explained uncertainly.

Wouldn't that mean that the family inheritance would be cut off, with only one woman left, and the family lineage could not be passed down under the aristocratic system of this world? This would mean that the family would be completely destroyed, Livia thought with a frown.

"So what does she want to do by hiring people?"

Caius touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I'm not sure either, but I heard..." As he spoke, Caius suddenly leaned forward in front of Livia, causing him to take a step back involuntarily and become alert instinctively.

"Do you know the Extraordinary?"

Caius whispered carefully.

"Superhumans? I've heard of them a little."

Livia pretended to be thoughtful as he spoke, quietly taking two steps away from Caius. After all, he felt a little uncomfortable with two grown men leaning against him for so long.

"I heard that the female lord is a transcendent. It is said that transcendents have a realm of strength called legendary. Once they reach that realm, they will not be restricted by most worldly rules. I think she wants to reach that level."

Caius whispered in front of Livia.

"Is that so?

..." Livia said in surprise, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"Um."

Caius nodded seriously. "Our mission is probably to protect and assist her in collecting herbs deep in the eastern forest. They are said to be magical herbs that can help extraordinary people become stronger. They are usually guarded by monsters, just like in the story."

Seeing his extremely serious look, Livia felt helpless. Why was he getting more and more outrageous? Why not just say that the task was to collect herbs? And the monster guarding was really a story. Real magical plants and materials would not be specially guarded unless they were beneficial to or associated with that monster. They would usually just pass by and at most be swallowed up or destroyed.

Although she was complaining in her heart, Livia still pretended to be listening carefully.

"So what are the specific hiring costs and time?"

He asked Caius, who seemed to be about to say some gossip, interrupting him.

If he continues talking, it will probably turn into an adventure story and we won't know where the story is going.

"It seems that we will gather at her residence at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning. Each person who goes can get five farongs. After completing the task, they can get another twenty farongs when they return. There should be six or seven more people besides me now."

Caius raised his head, his eyes looking somewhere unknown, and muttered while touching his chin.

Nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning, about right.

Livia thought for a moment, "So how can I get involved?"

Looking at Caius, who had no idea what he was thinking, he asked the most crucial question.

"Haha, that's easy. We'll go there in advance and I'll recommend you to the Lady Viscount. You just need to show off a few of your skills and be able to pass the exam."

Caius answered with a hearty laugh, stretching out his strong arms and embracing him warmly.

I don't know whether the person in front of me is acting real or fake, but Livia feels that she can't stand this "enthusiasm". She quietly avoids his arm and says to him, "Thank you very much."

"It's just a small matter. The more people there are on this mission, the safer it will be."

Caius didn't seem to care at all that he avoided him. He still patted his chest that was exposed through the lining and said with a smile.

"Then how about I wait for you at the entrance of the hotel at 7 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning?"

Livia said to him with a faint smile.

“Hmm…

"Okay, sure!"

Caius thought for a moment and nodded vigorously at him, "You'd better prepare something. We are going to the forest. Do you know what to prepare? Do you need my help to prepare it?"

"No, I know."

Livia smiled and shook her head quickly, indicating that she didn't need it.

"All right then."

Caius sighed as if he was a little disappointed. "If it's alright, I'll go get ready. Thank you very much."

"It's just a small matter, go ahead."

Livia nodded, said goodbye to him, turned around, opened the door and walked out.

Bang.

When she reached the stairs, the smile on Livia's face disappeared instantly. This guy...

Too enthusiastic, even a little too enthusiastic, which seems a bit artificial and exaggerated.

Could it be that he realized that I was a superhuman? That's impossible. Although I mobilized some power to block my sense of smell when I entered the door, ordinary people cannot feel that little fluctuation.

Livia narrowed her eyes. No matter what, as long as she could participate in the mission, it would be fine. As for the rest, if there was no bad intention, it would be fine. If...

hehe.

Taking a deep breath, Livia walked down the stairs expressionlessly.

In the room, the moment the door closed, the enthusiastic smile on Caius' face froze instantly and slowly disappeared.

“This guy…

It looks tender, but a little greasy.”
