Chapter 535: Receive the entrustment and investigate the scene

Hearing that Lu Qi was here to take over the task of conquering the gryphons, the two soldiers holding halberds were stunned for a moment, and then looked Lu Qi up and down.

With his tall and straight figure, handsome appearance, and deep eyes, the black-haired man in front of him looked more like a philandering bard than a warrior.

In front of Lu Qi, a soldier muttered in a low voice: "There are really people who are not afraid of death..."

In response, Lu Qi had an indifferent expression and just glanced at the garrulous soldier without saying a word.

Another slightly older soldier, without being too rude, just said in a deep voice:

"Put down your sword, don't bring weapons in."

"certainly."

Passing the "Black Hawk" on his waist to the soldier, Lu Qi immediately said, "Can I go in now?"

"Go in, the mayor should be in the lobby."

Entering the hall, Lu Qi soon saw the mayor of Lynch Town - a middle-aged man with a thin build and a serious smile.

Seeing the unfamiliar face of Lu Qi, the mayor who was sitting at the desk processing paperwork casually asked:

"Young man, what do you want from me?"

"I'm Alex from Zawada, and I'm here to help you solve your trouble."

"Trouble? You mean..."

"Trouble in the sky, gryphon."

Hearing this, the mayor's reaction was the same as that of the two soldiers at the door. He was stunned for a moment, then put down the quill in his hand, looked at Lu Qi for a while, and then asked with some suspicion:

"You mean, you're going to kill that gryphon? Alone?"

Nodding, Lu Qi kept a calm expression, "I am a ranger who travels around the world, and I am also a bounty hunter. Killing wild beasts is also within the scope of my business."

Although there are some concerns about Lu Qi, a young man who plans to attack the griffons single-handedly. However, someone who can become the leader of a town is not an ordinary person.

Even though he was very unfavorable to Lu Qi in his heart, the mayor still used relatively tactful words to tell him:

"It's not that I don't believe you? It's just that this griffon is too ferocious. It doesn't just stay in the forest anymore. It has already begun to attack caravans. Just the day before yesterday, a seven or eight-person cargo caravan was brutally attacked. Only

A young man survived. If you were allowed to go there alone? You would undoubtedly die."

"Believe me? I've dealt with more trouble than a flying beast..."

"this..."

Seeing the mayor's hesitation, Lu Qi naturally understood what the mayor was worried about. Wasn't he just afraid that he would get the bounty? He turned around and ran away.

In order to dispel the other party's concerns? Lu Qi couldn't help but said:

"Of course, actions are always more reliable than words. When I bring the gryphon's head back, it won't be too late for you to consider whether to give me the bounty."

Hearing that there was no need to pay a deposit first, the mayor seemed relieved and then said:

"Taking care of this beast? What help do you need?"

"I'm curious, there should be a garrison in Lynch Town? Why not send the army out to hunt him down?"

"I also thought about doing this, but? The garrison has a mission and cannot be easily mobilized. In desperation? I can only issue a commission and ask for help from mercenaries or bounty hunters like you."

"So..." Touching his smooth chin? Lu Qi then asked: "Tell me all the information about this griffon first, so that I can make some preparations in advance."

"A week ago, a hunter who lived near the forest outside the town was found dead somewhere in the forest, unrecognizable. In order to investigate this matter, I organized a hunting team and headed to the forest."

"However, five or six people were all missing. It was not until two days later that griffins attacked a caravan and left survivors behind that we knew what was going on."

"Since then, the gryphon has become more rampant and began to attack caravans and civilians on the roads and fields. So far, more than fifteen people have died under the claws of this beast, including two

A famous knight..."

"I see..."

Lu Qi was very impressed by the entire mission process of Geralt killing the gryphon, the first boss in the true sense of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt".

He still remembered that Geralt used a special herb to attract the griffin into the trap he had set.

The name of that herb seems to be...

"Rawthorn! I need some buckthorn and a live sheep. Also, I need to go to the scene where the griffon attacked the caravan..."

"Rhamnosus? I'll ask someone to go to the herbalist and ask."

After that, the mayor raised his voice and shouted outside the door:

"Jacob!"

Hearing this name, Lu Qi's eyelids twitched. He almost thought that the nighthawk gang's shit-troublemaker had also traveled here.

While his mind was wandering, a young man with blond hair wearing a brown shirt and freckles on his face walked in.

"Your Excellency, you called me?"

"Well, take this bounty hunter gentleman to the outside of the city, where the griffins attack the caravan."

Blinking his eyes, he looked at Lu Qi. The blond boy bowed slightly and responded:

"As commanded."

Following this guy with the same name as the London shit-troublemaker, after getting back the sword from the soldier, the two of them headed out of the city without stopping...

...

After walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at the messy crime scene.

"This is it..."

The scene that had been hastily cleared could still be seen on the blood-stained ground and broken tree trunks.

There are several pools of blood that have become darker. It can be seen that the griffin

"Sir, are your team going to hunt griffins?"

"It's not my team, it's me."

"You mean, you plan to hunt griffins alone?!" Closing his mouth that was opened in surprise, the blond brother looked at Lu Qi who was squatting on the ground and inspecting the scene, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Wow, then you must be a very good bounty hunter."

"how do you know?"

"You know, facing a griffon alone requires a lot of courage. Such a brave person must be an outstanding person. If it were me, the moment I saw the griffin, I might have been too frightened to move.

, let alone draw a sword to fight with it.”

These words made Lu Qi couldn't help but raise his head and look at this blond guy who was definitely no more than twenty years old and had fluff around his mouth.

"Listening to what you said, I felt like a fearless warrior challenging a powerful monster. However, the truth is, I just didn't take it seriously..."

Hearing this, the blond boy was stunned for a moment. Just when he was about to speak, Lu Qi said first:

"You don't have to accompany me, just go back first. I need to search all the traces left by the gryphon by myself."

"Well, take care of yourself. The griffon may be looking for food. The last time it came out to attack the caravan was at a time like this."

"If that's the case, I can't ask for anything more..."

After watching the blond brother leave, Lu Qi turned around, stared at the messy scene, and raised the corner of his mouth:

"Okay, let me see what clues you left for me..."
