The short, fat man with short brown hair looked a little anxious. After seeing Wayne, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion:

"My friend, when I heard you calling, I thought something had happened to you, so I flew over here without stopping."

"But you look healthy. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wayne warmly invited Borch into the house, prepared drinks for him, and let him rest for a while before telling him a brief account of Willen's situation.

"As you know, Borch, although the demon hunters of our Wolf School generally do not hunt dragons, we cannot guarantee that demon hunters from other schools will not do so."

"And according to the intelligence we received, the green dragon in Willen is indeed an evil dragon. More than five farmers died at its hands, and there was even a record of it burning down a village."

"Even if we demon hunters don't take action in the end, there will be warlocks, mages, or human armies that will take action against it."

"That's why I summoned you here to ask for your opinion. Although it is one of your kind, it should pay the price for what it did."

Borchi was silent after hearing this. He was indeed happy to hear news about another fellow dragon. However, if the other party was an evil dragon, as a kind-hearted golden dragon who had always been fed by humans, he would not be able to accept such a companion.

After a few dozen seconds, after drinking a glass of strong liquor, Borch said seriously:

"I have thought it through, my friend, and I will do as you say."

"If the green dragon is willing to surrender, I will imprison it forever in Zerekan. If it decides to resist to the end, we have no choice but to kill it."

Wayne was quite relieved to see that Borch was able to figure this out.

This might be a difficult commission for Borch, but seeing his distressed expression, Wayne suddenly joked, "What if the other party is also a female dragon?"

Borch's face froze, and then he held his cheek and began to seriously consider Wayne's question. After thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head with some regret:

"The approach remains the same. My wife, Mirgata Blake, will not allow me to have another spouse."

"But if she has a young dragonet as well, I will adopt that child."

After discussing how to deal with the green dragon, Wayne immediately packed his luggage and equipment, rode the golden dragon Bolch directly to Velen, wanting to meet George from the Griffin School.

At this time, the benefits of a flying mount were demonstrated. It took George two full days, more than fifty hours, to ride from Vizima to Velen.

Wayne and Borch set out at night and it only took them more than four hours. Before dawn, they arrived near the village called Crow's Nest.

Before coming to Velen, Wayne had asked Keira and learned that the current lord of Velen was Baron Vetherard, and most of the territories in this area were his fiefdoms.

However, although the baron's territory exceeded that of many earls and even dukes, because most of this territory was wasteland, swamps, and poor mountains and waters, Baron Visserard did not have many subjects, and even if he did, they were just some poor people who had no clothes to wear.

Therefore, this baron can only be regarded as a marginal figure in the Kingdom of Temeria and has little real power at all.

Wayne and Bolch came to Velen just for the Green Dragon and had no intention of dealing with this country noble.

After arriving at their destination, the two waited in the woods outside the Crow's Nest for several hours until dawn. He used the camouflage glasses given by Keira to disguise himself as an ordinary human mercenary, while Borch disguised himself as a traveling noble knight. The two of them entered the Crow's Nest openly.

This village surrounded by tall wooden walls has a large population of about two to three hundred residents. As the direct territory of Baron Willen, although there is no so-called commercial area within Crow's Nest, compared with other villages in Willen, there are barely a few small shops with clear division of labor here, which can be considered prosperous.

Wayne and Borch wandered around the village for a long time before they found a tavern that was still open.

The boss is a charming woman named Lisa. She heard that her husband died in the mouth of a monster. She had studied for a few years and knew how to do accounting and deal with people, so she started running this small shop with her son to make a living.

There were few customers at Willen, and even fewer at Crow's Nest. Borch and Wayne were the only customers in the store, and in order to make money, the woman entertained them quite enthusiastically.

Her cooking skills are pretty good. Although the food and drinks in the tavern are not very delicious, compared with other remote areas, they are at least clean. The several plates of mushrooms picked from the forest also taste very fresh.

The two ate and drank in the hotel, and played Gwent when they were bored. They waited until the sun was about to set in the afternoon. Lisa's son, who was hired by Wayne for a few copper coins, came in from outside the door and brought in a dusty man. It was George who came to meet them.

After seeing Wayne and Borch beside him, George was obviously relieved. He greeted the two of them with a smile, and then sat down at the table after a brief introduction by Wayne.

Borch has always been a very curious dragon. After seeing George, he asked George many questions about the deeds of the demon hunter, just like he did when he met Wayne.

George, who came from the Griffin School, had a good temper and was very curious about the identity of the Golden Dragon of Bolchi. The three of them chatted with each other and had a very pleasant conversation.

It soon became evening. Although it was time to finish farm work, perhaps because the residents of Willen were too poor, no one came to Lisa's tavern to consume. This widow, who still had her charm, could only sit at the counter, looking a little worried.

After chatting for a while, it was almost dinner time, so Wayne called Lisa over. The widow, who had a distressed look on her face because of the poor business, immediately came over attentively.

She avoided George, who looked a little strange, and touched Wayne's arm with her plump body. She asked expectantly, "Guest, do you want any drinks?"

Wayne smiled and nodded, took out a few golden Orens, put them on the table, and said in a gentle tone: "Madam, my friend is on his way here, he must be tired and thirsty."

"Bring over the best wine and food in your store."

"We men have big appetites. If you don't have enough food, go out and buy some. We should eat as much as we can."

Looking at the gold coins on the table, Lisa immediately put them away with a smile on her face, asked her son to bring a few bottles of good wine from the counter, then bent over, revealing her fair skin on her chest, and said attentively:

"Okay, my dear. Please rest assured. I will prepare it right away. Alan, who lives next door to me, is the best hunter in the village. He must have some fresh game at home. I will go buy some now."

While the proprietress went to prepare the food, Wayne handed a bottle of Vizima Champion to George and said, "How's it going, George."

"Have you found any news about the green dragon?"

George picked up the Vichy Champion, drank it happily, and then said, "I arrived in Weiren two days ago, and have been tracking down the news of the green dragon. I had made some progress, but was delayed by something yesterday."

Wayne raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What is it?"

George also looked a little depressed. He took another sip of wine before saying:

"The officials here found me and asked me to investigate a matter."

"There is a lighthouse near the sea. There are always ships that run aground and die there. They suspect that there are ghosts at work, so they asked me to investigate."

At this point, George's expression was a little angry, and he said angrily:

"After my investigation, I found out that some local thugs deliberately lit bonfires on the rocky coast to pretend they were lighthouses, attracting passing ships and causing them to run aground in order to steal money and kill people."

"I found the murderer, but those thugs must have some connections in the local area. Not only did they refuse to admit it, they also wanted to frame me. They found seven or eight people to besiege me, preparing to kill me without any evidence."

"I beat them, beat the living hell out of them, and didn't let them leave until the officials here came looking for them."

"Fortunately, the officials here are reasonable and know that I am investigating this case. They did not believe the lies of those unruly people. After hanging a few people, they arrested the murderers and put them in jail."

"Otherwise, I might as well spend the night in a cell."

After hearing about George's experience, Wayne frowned and said nothing. Borch asked curiously, "Are the gangsters here very powerful? How could they think they could defeat a demon hunter and leave no evidence?"
