"This is Novigrad."
After passing the city gate, looking at the street scene that was clearly laid out in the lower city, Xie Yuan felt a little emotional, "It's only a little worse than Vizima. You know, Novigrad is not even the capital."
"Novigrad is an important autonomous city in the north, and it is also an important hub for north-south transportation. It naturally brings together a lot of wealth." Margarita, wearing a hood, looked at the street with complicated eyes and explained to Xie Yuan, "And Now this is a place to be exploited.”
"It is precisely because of this that Triss bought a big house to live here..." Geralt said this, recalling Margarita's experience, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that her condition It won’t be too good.”
"You should know the way, right? Geralt?" Xie Yuan looked at the white wolf, and at the person who was Triss's closest friend half a year ago, "The person is definitely not at the original location now. I'm 100% convinced about the current witch-hunting trend. It’s a 100% guarantee, but there should still be some clues.”
"...Of course." Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Geralt pursed his lips, but still did not deny it.
Margarita was also a little embarrassed. Geralt's behavior in recent years was like a philandering carrot, but as a member of the wizard, emotionally and morally speaking, she couldn't blame the White Wolf... let alone Terri. Silk.
The former lost his memory... regardless of whether it was true or not, but he really didn't know who Yennefer was at the time and what he had to do with him; the latter was deliberately causing trouble... He used the memory loss of his best friend's ex-boyfriend to seduce her, but now I regained my memory and broke up peacefully.
How else can I comment on this? It’s not like Triss, Yennefer and Geralt spent more time playing than the three of them - in the end, they could only laugh it off as a joke.
However, Margarita is also a person who pays great attention to table manners such as aristocratic politeness. In order to avoid further embarrassment, she simply changed the direction of the topic.
"Yuan, thank you for the ability you provided. I didn't expect that I could enter Novigrad so relaxedly. It feels like standing next to you, as if everyone is deliberately ignoring me and focusing on you and Geralt. On my body." She looked at Xie Yuan with curiosity, "What a strange ability. Is this technology or magic?" Geralt also looked at Xie Yuan. Although he didn't express it clearly, his expression of curiosity was no better than that of Margaery. How much the tower weakens.
He kept watching as he walked along. There was obviously a beautiful sorcerer beside Xie Yuan who had her head in a hood and looked a little reserved at first, but any guard seemed to be seeing nothing.
Basically, it's like Xie Yuan promised: no one will notice you even if you are naked.
But Xie Yuan couldn't explain it very clearly...he really couldn't explain it clearly: "This is a mind-influencing ability I have acquired, which can actively block the visibility of surrounding creatures to the target I choose - but this is not invisibility. It can only be said to be a little trick to reduce attention."
Xie Yuan did not intentionally humble himself this time. Among the psychic abilities given to Xie Yuan by the black monster, in addition to memory exploration, psychic communication and the derived brain overload, they were somewhat useful. It is actually a very useless skill to affect people's five senses and reduce the feeling of being noticed in the crowd.
Because this effect can only be effective on living things, it is basically useless in front of inorganic detection methods such as closed-circuit televisions, surveillance probes, thermal imaging detectors, bioelectric detectors, radars, auspicious devices, and even silicon-based organisms. . And most of the time he has to fight against silicon-based biological synthetic enemies in an environment full of detection methods. Even if the opponent is an elite force of aliens, each individual has a miniature radar nearby, and no matter how many people are confused, they can still see through it.
The more important point is that against enemies that he can use his five senses to control, he can use a bullet or even directly swing a knife more efficiently than this. But if it is an opponent who is on par with him or even a guy who is one step above him, then the method of controlling the five senses is just a laughable trick for an awakened person who has truly mastered the five senses.
However, Xie Yuan was trying his best to humble himself, but Geralt and Margaret on both sides showed helpless expressions of "Sure enough,".
During this time together, the two of them found nothing else about Xie Yuan, except that they found that he was often excessively modest - often belittling himself to the point of being worthless.
But if Xie Yuan is really worthless... then he
The two of us who think we are not as good as him are idiots and useless people!
But one is the current dean of the first sorceress academy in the north, one of the founders of the institute, and the most beautiful and powerful sorceress; the other is a brother-in-law of many kings and has the title of "Sorceress Pile Driver" , the North should even be the most powerful demon hunter and powerful swordsman in the entire continent.
These two middle- and upper-class elites with such wealth in society felt invincible in front of Xie Yuan.
Doesn't that mean that 80% of the people in the continent are useless to Xie Yuan!
However, Geralt is not a person who is obsessed with reputation, and neither is Margaret. Moreover, Geralt also discovered that the female dean had a slight affection for Xie Yuan, the savior... After all, a person is powerful enough. Moreover, men who have no interpersonal relationships in the local area are rare partners for sorceresses.
At least... the sorceress doesn't have to worry. One day the man slept with her, and the next day she went to another witch's bed to have sex with a comic polyamorous person - Geralt is one of the negative examples of this situation, and Margaret He happens to be the kind of guy who pursues emotional single-mindedness during a relationship.
...It seems that Yennefer is also...cough, cough, far off topic.
However, just as the three of them arrived at the Leader's Square near Triss Merritt's villa, they discovered a scene that made Margarita suddenly grab Xie Yuan's hand -
Two people are being executed in the square...one of them is a sorceress!
That was Phylicia Curley, a student of the sorceress Philippa Earhart, and a sorceress who was about to graduate... No, she could never watch such a tragedy happen again!
Looking at Margarita who looked at him with pleading eyes, Xie Yuan couldn't stand it... He had never been stared at like this before.
But since ancient times, people who died at the stake either had political disagreements, were born at the wrong time, or committed heinous crimes, but this ratio is not high... Anyway, let's stretch our muscles.
"I hope the people you want me to save are not bad people..." Xie Yuan gently pulled his hand out of Margarita's grasp, "otherwise, even if I save them, I will kill them. "
After saying that, the person turned on the invisibility cloak mode and disappeared from the sight of the two people.
"You owe me a huge debt." Geralt vaguely disagreed with this approach.
Margarita also had some shame on her face, but her expression was very firm: "I will make it up to him... You can do whatever you want. Besides... do you really want to see two acquaintances burned at the stake like this?" Die indifferently?" Geralt looked at the two figures on the stake, shook his head, and acquiesced helplessly.
He did know both of the two people who were tied to the stake, except that one was Phylicia Curley, and the other was the former head guard of the Church of Eternal Fire, the shape-shifting Chapera.
If it weren't for Xie Yuan...he might just have to watch two acquaintances burn to death - damn it!
However, what is unexpected is that until the entire burning ceremony was completed, there was no change in any move.
This made Margarita a little unable to stand, but Geralt immediately held her back - his intuition told him that there should be some changes in the scene, but in front of him it seemed that the process was completed very normally...
"Hey!" Suddenly a soft cry appeared behind Geralt and Margarita. The two hurriedly looked back and saw that it was Xie Yuan. "Is there a place for them? Carrying the two of them all the way is not tiring and takes up space. !」
And he was carrying two bodies on his body - it was Keli and Chapera, but both of them were unconscious.
And no one around noticed that Xie Yuan was carrying someone on his back!
