Although the ordinary agricultural settlement of Midcops (Mipse) was not affected by the war, famine also occurred.
This is one of the larger villages in this area. Although it is desolate, you can still see children playing around, old people sitting on the roadside, village women gathering in the village to talk, and men working hard... ...It seems that the war has not affected this place too much.
But when many people saw Xie Yuan, they still moved out of the way in disgust, and some even directly called him a "freak."
Because Xie Yuan was wearing fake cat-eye pupil contact lenses at the moment, and a wolf-headed Witcher necklace hung around his neck - but he still kept the two long sticks on his back instead of replacing them with the silver sword and steel unique to the Witcher. sword.
Xie Yuan was obviously pretending to be a wolf sect demon hunter, but this was done with Geralt's consent or even his suggestion. Because if the witch Xie Yuan was going to visit was a normal person, he would probably be mistaken for a witch hunter who is currently in the limelight.
Geralt is not worried about Xie Yuan's safety - someone who can kill the Wild Hunt Knight can basically deal with any witch or wizard in the countryside.
But the original plan was to find the witch and ask him about the situation. It would be a bad thing if tensions broke out as soon as they met. Therefore, it is better to choose to pretend to be a demon hunter - mutants like Geralt are the only extraordinary species in the entire human society that are reluctantly accepted by the public... As long as they do not participate in the hunting of non-human races Activities, even places like Novilia can give witchers a place.
And no wizard would scream to kill a witcher when he saw one, so this happened to be a very suitable role.
Xie Yuan originally wanted to visit Novilia, but Geralt still wanted to leave Xie Yuan to look up the existing clues separately, as if he didn't want to let himself come into contact with anyone... But Xie Yuan didn't care.
Geralt was quite surprised, mainly because he thought he would just have to find a local blacksmith to copy a wolf head necklace unique to the wolf sect of witchers. But Xie Yuan just asked Geralt to wait above, and when he came out, he turned into a "witcher" Xie Yuan with cat eyes and a wolf head necklace.
"How did you do that?" Geralt was so surprised that he couldn't hide what he was thinking and blurted out.
But Xie Yuan simply touched one eye, and saw a soft object with an orange border falling on Xie Yuan's index finger, and the eye returned to its brown pupil color: "The old thing from more than ten years ago Damn, these are called pupil-colored glasses. They are supposed to treat myopia, but they can show different pupil colors after wearing them, but they cannot be worn for a long time."
After saying that, he clicked on his eyes again, and then Xie Yuan had a pair of cat eyes again.
In fact, Geralt really wanted to ask how the wolf head necklace Xie Yuan wore around his neck, which still exuded heat, was carved so lifelike... Apart from the fact that there was no magic induction, there was almost no difference.
But since Xie Yuan didn't have much explanation, he could only ignore this topic, and then the two parted ways: Geralt ran to Crow's Nest to find the Baron, while Xie Yuan ran to Midcops The village went to the village to secretly investigate the traces of the witch.
However, in order to keep in touch before the separation, Xie Yuan went against his own idea not to reveal super-standard technology and directly gave Geralt a biomass-powered flesh-colored retractable holographic screen headset, the same thing he had given to Jill. , uses quantum entanglement technology to communicate, and can also transmit video if necessary.
The only purpose of this is to ask Geralt's acquaintances when you meet them, so as not to leave any bad regrets. --
The countryside also has its benefits. For example, although Xie Yuan had to smell some of the smell of manure retting, the air outside the first time was still very good.
In order to find out about the village woman's family background, Xie Yuan pretended to be a foreigner who came to purchase. He first went to the blacksmith and then to the grocery store owner's stall where he stopped and listened to what the village woman said. One word.
Xie Yuan, who quickly purchased a large amount of rare ores and sundries, knew the general address of the witch: "At the small pond near the village, find a nearby path and walk along it until you encounter a big stone and walk around it. Stone, turn left into the woods, and you can find the witch after seeing an old cart.
"
And he heard something interesting: this witch was obviously not a resident witch in the village, but a guy who had been here not long ago.
The village women admired her, but were also jealous of her; the villagers were in awe, but also envied her - but the whole village was willing to protect her from the persecution of the witch hunters under the command of Eternal Fire in the north.
Well, a witch with beautiful appearance and good abilities... Why does this profile sound so like describing a sorceress?
But a pampered sorceress is willing to come to a place like Willen to play in the mud? Just to escape? ! He thought that this kind of guy should starve to death. It was a small matter, but losing integrity was a big deal!
Well, if this is a sorceress, then Geralt should actually be here. He participated in the coup on Thanede Island that year, and he should be familiar with who the sorceress is... maybe this time. The guy I met was even one of the prostitutes of this LSP.
Xie Yuan followed the route mentioned by the village women and walked leisurely. Along the way, he also needed a few evil ghosts that screamed and scratched everywhere.
This is a very ferocious gregarious animal - extremely fast, and has extremely sharp claws. The strongest evil ghost has the title of warrior... It can be said that this is the last thing the demon hunter wants to see. One of the enemies.
But unfortunately, they were still not as fast as Xie Yuan, and they were too small. Xie Yuan used a series of jabs and kicks to kick them far away, and then they fell to the ground in convulsions, and soon became motionless.
Not to be wasted, Xie Yuan immediately took out a scalpel, cut open the demon's abdominal cavity, took out some well-preserved eyes, claws, liver and heart and stored them in a sealed bag - these are used to make many potions. One of the basic materials.
Moreover, Xie Yuan also saw some red mutants... which seemed to be one of the necessities of the potion. Xie Yuan immediately collected them. These things can be sold to Geralt in exchange for a few crowns.
Continuing on his journey, after arriving at the wooden house, he saw a young blond woman wearing a red and blue robe impatiently listening to the villagers talking about trivial matters, such as how to save the cows in the village.
Xie Yuan began to carefully check the local celebrities that Xie Yuan had made during this period in his mind, especially the facial features of the sorcerers and powerful people... Then his brows widened after a while. This blond sorceress should be Keira Metz, the former Temerian palace advisor and one of the key members of the Sorceress Institute.
A very young sorceress, who was also a loyal supporter of Philippa, the leader of the sorceresses of the Institute, was expelled by Fortest, the late king of Temeria, after following the former and causing a series of troubles.
The sorceress also noticed Xie Yuan's arrival, but maybe she noticed Xie Yuan's yellow eyes or the wolf head necklace on his chest, plus Xie Yuan was just sitting aside waiting for everyone to finish their work, so she turned around and said: The villagers took matters into their own hands.
The sorceress's methods indeed seemed to be much more sophisticated than the experience of ordinary witches and wizards. Although she couldn't let go of her arrogance, she still dealt with the problem for the villagers seriously, and then the villagers thanked her and dispersed.
The sorceress glanced at Xie Yuan, and then entered the room, but after Xie Yuan watched the sorceress enter the corner of the room, he suddenly felt a moment when the space was opened and closed - and then the sorceress's breath Just disappeared? !
Xie Yuan stood up immediately, pushed open the closed wooden door, and saw candles on the table, scattered papers and books, and some materials of low value... But where was the sorceress herself?
Ah, interesting. It seems that these sorceresses are just like the magicians in Western Fantasy. They all know the teleportation technique. Xie Yuan came to the corner of the room. There were very obvious signs of scattered items. It was obvious that this was the center of space teleportation. He wanted to know whether this teleportation technique was fixed? Or is it set randomly?
After a moment of meditation in his heart, his fingers slowly approached a cast skull placed on the bookshelf. There were some obscure runes entwined on it. In his perception, this thing seemed to have plenty of energy. internal float.
Because he did not sense any danger in his sixth consciousness, Xie Yuan directly touched it
This skull "Boom!"
There was a loud noise from the wall in front of him, and a yellow space vortex suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yuan's eyes.
