Chapter 2162 Bayerhof

"Wow! Big man, when did you come back?" the dwarf asked enthusiastically.

"I just arrived at White Bear Village in the morning, so I rushed to find you now! Old friend, I just heard from Sister Hannah that you were cheated in your business and lost a lot of money?" Clark said bluntly. inquire about.

"Money is still a small matter..." Bayerhof shook his head bitterly, his face full of humiliation: "The important thing is that I was tricked, and now everyone in the village knows that I am a fool, my reputation is ruined, my friend!"

The dwarf grabbed the wine glass and took two sips, lamenting dejectedly:

"Brother Clark, I am not worthy to be your friend!"

"The honest, reliable and admired Bayerhof in the past is dead, and now I am just a stupid joke."

"My reputation has been completely ruined by that vicious woman. I can't turn around in this life!"

Joan and Clark looked at each other, and then noticed a detail in Bayerhoff's complaint almost at the same time.

"Woman?" Clark interrupted the dwarf's self-pity, "Is it a woman who lied to you? Brother, tell me the truth, are you involved in a sexual dispute?"

"No wonder!" Bayerhof glared at the frost giant angrily, "You can say that I have no brains, and I don't know people well, but I'm really not a womanizer!"

"Okay, okay, can I be wrong? Brother Bayerhof, of course I know you are not the kind of person who is greedy for beauty, but what happened to the woman you just mentioned?" Clark was very interested to inquire.

"Oh, that's a long story."

Bayerhoff dragged two chairs and motioned for Joan and Clark to sit down and chat.

"The matter started a month ago. Some friends and I jointly operated the Qingbing Mine. For some reason, a large group of winter wolves targeted the mine. The group of cunning wolves attacked the mine and bit the miners. The leader of the mine, an evil storm ghost, also threatened that we would not be allowed to start mining unless we gave them half of the mine's profits."

"Brother Clark, Mr. Vader, of course I can't accept this kind of blatant blackmail, but the number of winter wolves occupying the mine is no less than fifty, and there are storm ghosts far more terrifying than winter wolves. I can do it alone. Maybe, I can’t gather enough warriors who dare to fight against the wolves in the village, so I have to post a reward notice in the tavern, recruiting adventurers who are strong enough to help destroy the wolves and storm ghosts who occupy the mine.”

"A few days after the notice was posted, a masked girl came to the tavern, claiming to be a witch from the Styx Temple, intending to help me eliminate the bandits."

"I'm not someone who is easily deceived. I asked that witch to show her strength, but she readily agreed. Casting two spells and one witchcraft in succession is indeed extraordinary!"

"The witch is strong enough, and the price she offered is not low, and the commission is less than two pounds of magic crystals!"

"I don't have a lot of money, so I can only take out one pound of magic crystals, so I discussed with the partners in the cooperative mine, and they will collect the remaining pound of magic crystals, give them to the witch, and agree that the next day In the morning, go to the canyon where the mine is located to drive out the robbers."

"Early the next morning, we waited and waited, but the witch never showed up! Later, I got impatient and asked Hannah to go upstairs to the guest room to wake her up."

"And guess what happened?"

"The guest room is empty, that nasty bitch has already slipped away overnight!"

Bayerhof became more and more angry as he spoke, and slapped the table with his palm, causing the flagon and wine glasses to dance wildly.

"Ah! It wasn't until that moment that I realized that I had been cheated. Unfortunately, it was too late. My money was cheated and my reputation was ruined!"

"Brother Bayerhoff, have you never thought about hunting down the liar and getting back the magic crystal?" Clark asked.

Bayerhoff smiled bitterly, shrugged and spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"Although that woman's character is despicable, she is a genuine witch of the Styx. Not only is she powerful, but she is also backed by the Temple of the Styx. What should I use to fight her? Knowing that she was deceived, I dare not settle accounts with her, so I can only swallow her. For this dumb loss, blame yourself for being too stupid."

"Mr. Bayerhof, is the witch you mentioned named Katerina?" Joan suddenly said.

"Katherina?" The dwarf was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "She claims her name is Catherine."

Qiao An is not surprised by this. One of the characteristics of Habitual Liar is that he often changes his name and surname, talks about people, and talks nonsense.

"Is that woman wearing a white fur coat, with long curly silver-gray hair, and a pair of blue eyes, holding a walking stick made of green ice?" Joan continued to ask.

"That's right! That's what she looks like!" Bayerhof widened his eyes in surprise, "Little mage, do you also recognize Catherine?"

Joan and Clark looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Brother Bayerhoff, it just so happens that Joan and I met that woman three days ago on our trip, and we were almost tricked into taking away two pounds of magic crystals by a nonsense she made up. It can be seen that this person is a habitual fraudster!"

"Ah? A habitual fraudster!" The dwarf blew his beard and stared angrily, "How could such a scum be cultivated by the majestic Styx Temple!"

"Mr. Bayerhof, this matter really cannot be blamed on the Styx Temple." Joan said truthfully, "Not only is the name of that female liar fake, but her identity is also forged. In fact, she is not A true witch cannot perform witchcraft without a staff."

Bayerhof nodded thoughtfully, and then asked a question.

"But I saw that woman cast magic with my own eyes. It can't be a lie, can it?"

"This can only show that she has the ability to cast spells. She may be a warlock, or a hag or goblin who is naturally good at casting spells." Joan guessed.

"Okay, then what should I do? Write a letter to the Styx Temple and ask Ms. Farah to send someone to track down the female liar who pretended to be a witch and ruined the reputation of the temple?"

"Brother Bayerhof, I have no objection to you writing a letter to the temple to complain, but before that, you'd better cheer up, lest Hannah worry about you." Clarke earnestly advised his old friend.

The dwarf nodded in shame, and stopped talking.

Joan saw what was on his mind, so he took the initiative to speak out.

"Brother Clark, why don't we stay in White Bear Village for two more days, and help Mr. Bayerhoff eliminate the group of monsters that occupy the mine."

"Okay! I think so too!" Clark laughed.

Bayerhof was grateful, but rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

"Of course it's a good thing that you are willing to help, but...my money has been scammed by the fake witch, how can I repay you?"

Joan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Bayerhoff, if you don't mind, after the wolves are exterminated, I would like to mine some blue ice in the mine and keep it as a material for making magic tools and constructs in the future." .”

It's almost the end of the month, please ask for a monthly ticket and a recommended ticket, thank you everyone
