Chapter 67: I, Lauxer, Will Definitely Lend a Hand
Hearing Lynn's explanation, the Lauxer family finally felt a little relieved.
Eager to leave as soon as possible, Lauxer didn't just stand by and watch, but helped Lynn drag the corpses.
A few minutes later, all the bodies were piled together.
Lynn cast the Igni sign and set the corpses ablaze.
After witnessing the bodies being burned to ashes, Lynn finally turned to Lauxer as if the task was complete.
"Alright, the dirty work is done. When it's daylight tomorrow, have your workers clean up the bloodstains in the lumberyard, and everything will be fine. By the way, are there any horses in the lumberyard?"
Lauxer shook his head.
Horses in this era were as precious as cars in the 20th century.
No matter how generous Lauxer was, he wouldn't park several cars in an unmanned lumberyard at night.
Lynn's gaze swept over Lauxer's wife and daughter.
"I only brought one horse. In that case... then the lady and your daughter can ride the horse, and the two of us will walk... it might slow us down a lot, but there's no other way. We can't have the women and children walking while two grown men ride."
Lauxer said respectfully,
"Master, there's something I forgot to mention earlier, I just remembered it now. The gates of Novigrad are closed at night. Even if we go now, we can only wait outside the city gates until dawn."
In this era, it was very normal for cities to impose curfews at night.
Even if some cities didn't have curfews, at least the city gates were closed.
But Lynn shook his head and said,
"There's a guard post outside the city gates. We can stay in the post all night."
"Or we can stay in the lumberyard until dawn, it's your decision."
Lauxer hesitated for a moment.
Looking at the pile of charred corpses and the bloodstains everywhere.
And the whistling wind that occasionally howled outside the lumberyard.
He really didn't have the courage to stay here until dawn.
"Why don't we rush to Novigrad overnight, Master? You will protect us, right? Once we're safe, I guarantee I will pay you a generous reward."
...
Night was not kind to humans.
