The meeting with Captain Guan Li turned out well.
Geralt accepted the bounty mission of clearing out the gryphons from Captain Guanli, and then left the camp first and went on a journey to find local hunters and herbalists for clues.
Xie Yuan stayed to congratulate the elder first and told him that the monster shrine not far from the village had been cleaned up and he could arrange for people to use it again.
But in fact, it is also a secret warning to the elders: We can help you gain peace of life, but don't try to fool us.
Captain Guan Li was also very interested in Xie Yuan's plan to cultivate a mouthpiece from the north - especially after hearing that this was a long-lasting intelligence method in the Far East, he readily agreed to secretly invite that person away. Professor, and contact the Nilfgaardian Ambassador above to request assistance.
After completing all this, Xie Yuan then rode his horse and whipped his whip, and returned to the dwarf blacksmith in Baiguo Village to continue completing the weapon transformation plan.
Of course, the dwarves can do nothing but strike.
Smelting, beating, smelting, beating, shaping, adding some unseen meteorite iron stuff, combining it, and finally adding five rings of meteorite silver hoops at the end.
After a lot of busy work, a dazzling sunset soon appeared on the horizon, and night was about to fall.
When the newly made stick was being formed, Geralt stood quietly and watched. When Xie Yuan finished oil-quenching, he said, "Is it done?"
"You can just stop." Xie Yuan handed the stick to the dwarf. It was more than enough for the dwarf to do the final polishing and repair work. "I just need a suitable weapon."
"It doesn't matter. We don't have any plans to execute the last step today. We just need to collect information. Tomorrow is the day of real action - because we need to hunt two monsters in one day."
"What's the order?" Picking up a fire cloth and wiping his hands, Xie Yuan walked towards Geralt.
"First I will kill the day demons at noon, and then I will hunt the gryphon beasts in the afternoon. My schedule is quite full."
Geralt directly handed Xie Yuan a bottle of Temerian Champion: "Before this, I even have to spend some change to refill the potion. I will be very busy tomorrow."
Xie Yuan took the bottle, took off the cork with his thumb, and took a sip: "What are you going to do tonight?"
"Have a drink..." Geralt said, tilting his head, "and then meditate all night."
"Hmm...a very healthy way to recuperate." Xie Yuan took another sip of wine, "Then you have a good rest. I will meet you tomorrow morning."
But what puzzled Geralt was that the place where Xie Yuan ran to rest was not the military camp in front of him, but the dense forest where they rode over.
"You don't live in a military camp?" Geralt didn't understand. Nilfgaard didn't even have a place for Xie Yuan to live? "I have to practice at night. In order not to disturb them, I always rest alone."
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked away.
Geralt just looked at Xie Yuan's back in confusion and shook his head: "He is really a weirdo."
On the other hand, Xie Yuan, who came to the dense forest, also took off his upper body clothes, dropped his sword scabbard, and stood in the dense forest with his upper body exposed.
Then he jumped lightly and stepped directly onto the branch of a big tree. Then he tiptoed and jumped to another branch like an ape. But this time Xie Yuan directly hooked it with his wrist and stabilized it. Hanging steadily on the branch, using the power of the pendulum, it hangs directly to another branch, then ripples and flies to another branch.
If you look at it from a longer perspective now, this is not a human being, but more like a giant ape walking through the forest.
And this is the key to night training of the ape attack technique. Xie Yuan, who was constantly walking through the dense forest like an ape, felt exhausted all over his body. He had to admit that this thing is really uncomfortable for one person. No wonder one person has to practice it every day and the other person practices it at night.
Fortunately, Xie Yuan stopped moving on time when the moon was shining brightly, because it was almost midnight, which was considered the best time to practice meditation. He soon sat cross-legged, silently reciting the mantra, and gradually Falling into a state of spiritual solitude.
However, while sitting on the grass stables arranged by the hotel, listening to a vague whine and cry in the dense forest, Geralt asked the mentor Vesemir next to him: "What do you think of Xie Yuan?"
"It's hard to see clearly," Vesemir replied a little cautiously, "I know he is very strong, but for his personality... I can only rely on your subsequent contact. After all, I know too little about him."
"Very strong...?" Geralt couldn't tell, "How could you tell?"
"While you were talking to everyone," Vesemir explained, "I keenly noticed that he was eavesdropping on your conversations with everyone, trying to extract information from them - this kind of perception, even the most completely mutated None of the witchers have ever done it.”
"He was eavesdropping on my conversations with everyone?!" Geralt was a little unhappy when he heard this. "This behavior cannot be called aboveboard." "Besides," Geralt turned over and looked at old Vesemir. "Do you really think this guy is telling the truth? Is Ciri really back? Why didn't I receive any warning - except in dreams, of course, but this news is still too sudden."
"I think so too, but don't forget, he also said that he also serves as a secret military attaché for an official force, which is very consistent with his behavior. But this is just a small detail."
Vesemir didn't mind this very much: "The important thing is Xili. Her return is the most important. I tend to be true - Xie Yuan's temperament cannot be cultivated by people of this era. His The origin is definitely not from this world...
On the other hand, thanks to his early disclosure, we have the opportunity to know this in time - think about the sorceress's style, maybe we will not understand until the last moment, and thanks to Xie Yuan. "
"I cannot disagree with this." Geralt nodded helplessly. He also knew very well how much secrecy this mysterious sorceress could keep.
If it weren't for Xie Yuan, I'm afraid he would still have been kept in the dark.
"How should I arrange tomorrow's tasks?" Geralt was still a little confused about arranging Xie Yuan's entourage, and asked his mentor at a loss.
"You are the main executor of hunting monsters, and the decision is yours. Besides, this is not a particularly extraordinary monster, so naturally it will be fine."
Vesemir is straightforward about this.
"But I'm still not used to being bystanders." Geralt told the truth.
"But after all, he is a big customer who paid five small gold bars, and he is also Xili's mentor - maybe it is a lie, but until the truth is verified, we all have to respect him seriously."
Vesemir attaches great importance to this: "Since you are a teacher and a foreigner at the same time, now it is a teacher's home visit, and as a parent, you must show our etiquette."
"I know." Geralt nodded heavily, already knowing what to do.
