"Xilia? That's a good name." Xie Yuan raised his juice cup again and saluted the white-haired girl Xilia, "Then Miss Xilia...oh, I'm so rude. I have the liberty to ask, this Is that your last name?"
The white-haired girl responded with a smile. She could see that the male host in front of her was indeed not a noble, or in other words, he was not a noble in the conventional sense: "Thank you, my full name is Shilia Fiona Ellen Leanne. Lun."
"Hmm! Miss Xilia, it seems that your family background is not low!" Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise. In addition to being a special person, the little girl in front of him was also a noble lady in their world.
And it sounds like the little girl is proud of her name... This family background seems to be extremely precious!
"But you can call me...Ciri."
"Okay, Xili." Xie Yuan was kind, and then invited Xili to eat first, "You can eat something to fill your stomach first. I think you should have a lot of things you want to know, don't be in a hurry, as long as you are not in a hurry Come on, we still have plenty of time."
Xili couldn't wait to eat something, but before that, Xie Yuan not only prepared knives and forks for her, but also a pair of chopsticks - it is easy to drop vegetables into the soup pot when eating hot pot with a fork.
Xili is worthy of being a warrior who dares to constantly escape from the endless pursuit of the elves. She has a rebellious spirit and a spirit of experimentation. After seeing the new tableware, she wanted to imitate Xie Yuan's moves and give it a try.
But as expected, the effect is still not good, but it is already impressive.
Xie Yuan did not go over to teach, but kept repeating his posture of rinsing meat and rinsing vegetables naturally, and then told Xili about the order of rinsing meat and vegetables, and that certain foods that are difficult to cook should be boiled in boiling water first. It takes a while to start clamping.
Xili learned quickly. After Xie Yuan repeated this action 10 times, she could easily use the same action to start rinsing and eating.
"Are you a wandering retinue or a female knight?" Xie Yuan drank another glass of juice, dipped his napkin in his mouth, and looked at Xili's elegant but fast eating speed and asked.
When Xili fainted at Iron Man's feet, she was carrying an exquisite half-hand sword on her back. Therefore, even if she was arranged to rest in the guest room, Xie Yuan very carefully placed the sword beside her bed.
Judging from Shirley's nimble movements and instant access to chopsticks - the sword behind her is not a decoration or a simple self-defense weapon... but a murderous weapon that can kill people at a critical moment!
Maybe in her world, women can also exist as knights?
But after hearing the question, Ciri stopped eating, then dipped her mouth in the napkin next to her, and explained: "Well... I should say I am... a witcher."
Witcher? Xie Yuan's mind flashed to a pair of white brothers holding shotguns, and then back to a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe and holding a whisk in his hand...
"Then your level must be very good." Xie Yuan praised.
At first glance, the half-hand sword is made of an iron-containing alloy with moderate hardness and toughness. The sword only has a little bit of strange energy attached to it - the sword is a good sword, but it is definitely not good enough to use it to fight ghosts with negative energy. , so she should have relied on other means to subdue the monster.
And since she was able to escape for so long, she should be considered a battle-hardened warrior - not to be underestimated.
But immediately, a blush suddenly appeared on Ciri's white face, and she suddenly looked a little shy: "I...I am not an official witcher yet...A formal witcher needs to pass a special trial... And I…I haven’t accepted a commission yet.”
"Oh!" Xie Yuan understood immediately, but, "It's okay. As your vision grows and your skills refine, you will definitely become a world-renowned demon hunter in the future."
"Thank you for your blessing." Ciri seemed very happy to have the expectations of a strong-looking person.
Seeing that Xie Yuan was very kind, Xili couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask: "You said your name here is Rui Fan Linde. Do you have many aliases in many places?"
"No, they are all real names." Xie Yuan explained patiently, "I originally wanted to tell you after you have eaten, but since you asked, let me remind you first: the world you are in now has changed from The world you used to live in was a little different.
Here, except for a few areas where the authority of the lords is owned by the state, the authority of the lords in most areas is actually owned by large financial groups - what you call big businessmen.
The place where you are now is located in a city jointly managed by several large chaebols - Night City. "
"Wow! A businessman became a king?" Ciri seemed to have experienced higher education and immediately understood the importance of it. "This is a bit like a city in my hometown, Novirig."
"Yes, merchants control every aspect of this city," Xie Yuan told Xili. "Although the technology in this world is very new, there may be many things that you cannot understand from your current perspective. But the essence of this place is It’s still a world where the jungle prevails, but the group that determines life and death at the bottom has changed its ruler.”
"Oh!" Xili nodded without realizing it.
"But you can rest assured about your safety. My other identity is John Ironface, the chairman of one of the chaebols that control this city - Metal Gear Group." Xie Yuan pretended to be cool.
"Oh...ah?!" After Xili just heard it, it took a long time to realize what Xie Yuan meant, and then looked at Xie Yuan in surprise and confusion - aren't you a lord?
But there is a reason why Xie Yuan introduced it this way: "Because John Ironface is actually a fake identity, an empty shell. Everyone can become this person - but this "person" was created by me.
Ruifan is my real name here, and the real occupation written on my identity file is indeed the owner of a tavern - what we call a bar here. "
"Why is it so complicated?" Xili was a little confused.
"Just in case, to avoid trouble." Xie Yuan replied calmly.
"I don't understand what you're doing." Xili, who didn't understand, could only lower her head and cook in a low voice.
Xie Yuan also smiled and decided to eat first before letting her three views undergo a shocking baptism.
A silent lunch can actually be settled quickly. After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, UR-025 appeared in the restaurant in the form of a Spark robot and began to clear away the tableware.
Then Shiri was almost startled. Seeing such a mighty guy coming in made her subconsciously touch her back, and then she realized that she didn't bring her sword when she went out to eat. Then I saw Xie Yuan's expression - very casual, as if he didn't care about the arrival of the tall robot.
That seemed to be the "lord's" entourage.
"Uh...are you...a metal golem or a construct?" Seeing Xie Yuan's indifferent expression, Xili tentatively wanted to greet the construct.
"Construct is a good name, but I prefer you to call me Iron Man." UR-025 looked at the white-haired girl with a calm expression, "What you see now is not my real body, but I am the third A witness who discovered you.”
"Uh, hello, Iron Man." Xili immediately corrected the title obediently.
Then UR-025 stopped looking at her and looked at Xie Yuan: "Tell her more about the situation when you found her. She still needs to know a lot of things."
Then Iron Man took the tableware and left the restaurant, leaving a confused Xili looking at Xie Yuan in confusion.
"Ahem!" Xie Yuan cleared his throat, looked at Xi and explained, "Xili, do you remember how you got here?"
Xili tried hard to think back: "I...I seemed to have entered a space window all of a sudden...Forgive me for describing it this way, I felt like a window. Then as soon as I entered, my head suddenly hit a blue-white pillar. , and then just passed out.”
"Actually, what you hit happened to be Iron Man's body...His lap, and then you fainted." Xie Yuan told the truth, "UR-025 and I knew how you got here from the beginning. I also encountered the elves who came to hunt you down... or the aliens."
"You met the Wild Hunt?! Oh, no!" Ciri was about to stand up immediately, as if to run away, "I have to leave right away, the Wild Hunt will have a large force rushing in soon -"
Then Xie Yuan's words stuck him in place: "I and Iron Man killed more than a hundred of them in one go. I don't think they are that powerful?
As for whether they dare to come? I guess the mainstream armies around the world here are overjoyed - I have never seen such a fragile race that travels across galaxies! "
"You killed them? More than a hundred people?! Really or not-"
Xili subconsciously didn't believe it, and then she was stopped by Xie Yuan's next operation - Xie Yuan's left hand began to move slightly, and then a set of orange transparent equipment began to appear on his hand, and then An image began to appear on the wall opposite Ciri.
At this moment, the SPARK robot of UR-025 came out and suddenly became motionless under Xili's gaze. Then Xili saw a huge robot waving to her on the opposite side of the image: "Xili, look here!"
Listening to the familiar voice, Ciri murmured: "Iron Man?"
"It's me!" The giant iron man flashed the red monitor, and then continued, "Ciri, after you passed through the hyperspace gate at first, you bumped into my leg."
After saying that, the camera started to zoom in, and Ciri simply took a breath of cold air - because it was only then that Ciri discovered that Iron Man was actually a giant robot five meters tall!
It’s taller than the three-meter SPARK in front of you!
"The place where you were found is the huge underground space on the third underground floor of Ruifan's Metal Gear Group Airport, 49 meters above the ground."
After gesticulating the place, Iron Man turned his perspective back to the scene of the incident, which triggered a violent reaction from Ciri - she even covered her mouth in shock.
Because in front of a large ring-shaped machine that emitted blue and purple light, there were densely packed black-armored corpses - their black armor was in pieces, and the hard and exquisite armor was easily destroyed by an unknown weapon. Damaged.
Although the light source was a bit not bright enough, Ciri could tell at a glance that this was indeed the Wild Hunt—the enemy that had been pursuing her life and death.
There are so many Wild Hunt knights lying here, it seems a bit endless at first glance, and the fact that Shiri only saw Iron Man except Xie Yuan also confirmed one thing - so many Wild Hunt knights are indeed Killed by a very small number of people...perhaps by Xie Yuan and Iron Man in front of him.
"You guys look...really strong." After seeing that a lot of enemies had been wiped out, she sat back in her chair with relief and began to tell her story to Xie Yuan and Iron Man who had reoccupied SPARK.
In short, from a very young age, Ciri has had an extraordinary life experience - she is the only direct bloodline of the ruler of a country, and at the same time, she is also the only heir to the ruler of a larger empire.
But a bigger secret bloodline is the culprit that caused her series of tragedies - the "blood of the elders".
As the successor of this bloodline, she has the ability to travel through time and space, and is called the "Lady of Spad Time". However, because of this, her whole life has been used and plotted until today.
Her biological mother was secretly killed by her biological father, and the latter even tried to marry her to gain the forbidden power.
Although she was finally stopped by her adoptive father Geralt and adoptive mother Yennefer, who had always been very kind to her, she established the idea of becoming a demon hunter in the future.
Unfortunately, Geralt was implicated in a massacre against a sub-race and died in battle. Yennefer also ran out of magic power and died trying to save Geralt.
She tried a way to save them...even though the cost was that she was being hunted by the Wild Hunt, but she had no regrets.
As a drifter who often lives in no fixed place, she has been to many places, including her original home planet and other worlds. She has also met many friends... and maybe even lovers...
But basically there are no good results... The death or betrayal of some friends even caused serious psychological trauma to her.
But as long as the Wild Hunt Knights continue to pursue her relentlessly, she will never be able to stop and will be on the run again.
"I still don't feel it's safe for me to stay here."
At this point, thinking of the threat of the Wild Hunt army's invasion, Ciri began to want to leave again, "Maybe you can easily deal with a hundred or so Wild Hunt knights, but they also have a magic ship that can float in the air or even in the universe. Longship—"
"Wait!" Xie Yuan suddenly stopped Xili, "You said they have a ship? A ship that can travel between the latitudes of the universe and the sky?"
"Huh?...Hmm!" Xili looked at the sudden sparks in Xie Yuan's eyes. She really didn't understand why Xie Yuan was so excited, but she still nodded and confirmed the information she just said.
"The Wild Hunt must have longships to invade the latitudes of other worlds with actual physical bodies, but this means investing a lot of magic power and adding a person with navigator ability."
"Without the longship, the Wild Hunt could only project itself into other worlds as an illusory ghost to make waves."
Xie Yuan and UR-025 looked at each other, and Xie Yuan began to ask Xili: "Xili, honestly speaking, do you really want to leave now, or do you want to rest in this world before leaving?"
"I...of course I want to stay and see, but -"
"Okay! No need for buts," Xie Yuan stretched out his hand to stop the girl from talking, "Today I will open the space door again to administer justice for you and punish them severely!"
"Ah? d(?д??)" Ciri showed an expression of incomprehension.
"Stay here with peace of mind, Xili." The rich display of UR-025 made a righteous expression, "Justice will be served, and it is our duty to do so!"
"Ah! (?;;)?" Xili really couldn't understand the thoughts of this person.
He actually has an idea for the Wild Hunt? Want to seize their ship? What do you two think? !
But Xie Yuan and Iron Man's idea is very simple: a magic longship that can travel smoothly in the universe and other latitudes, but its soldiers and weapons are all the characteristics of medieval cold weapons... The two of them can even join the gang directly. Go in and wipe them all out!
If God does not take back what he has given, he will be blamed for it. If he leaves late, he will get nothing!
