"So, this person said that he is a swordsmanship teacher from Xili in another world. He came to visit her during the holidays, so you two went together?"
Lambert, who has short black hair and a handsome appearance, but has a scar on his face, looked distrustful: "Please, you believe this person just by saying this. Don't you have any doubts that this person may have something wrong with him?" Is it intentional?"
"This is what I need to know through contact." Geralt waved his hand helplessly, "But not surprisingly, he did spend some time with Ciri before. Because he once helped Ciri handle personal matters. The identity information is registered, and here is the file photo he gave me."
As he spoke, Geralt took out a pendant from his arms. Inside was a framed photo of Ciri: "I'm sure no one here would dress like Ciri." Lambert said with a look on his face. She took the pendant suspiciously and glanced at Xili, who was wearing a formal women's suit with a serious look on her face. She couldn't help but become serious and touched the surface: "This is true. This is not the touch of an oil painting. Look. This little devil really looks good when he pretends to be serious!" After that, he returned it to Geralt: "Since she is indeed Ciri's teacher, there is nothing we can do about it - but is he that strong? "
"At least, I don't have the ability to take the temple guard leader Manji out of his lair during the day." Geralt accepted the pendant and said quietly.
"Hush -" Lambert couldn't help but whistled for a while, "Well, if I don't have something to do, I really want to see someone who dares to cause trouble among the temple guards. Then Geralt, you go. , I’ll just take care of the vampire thing.”
However, Geralt was not in a hurry: "Yuan must be rushing out of the city now, because that's where he can find a suitable interrogation place. Now if I rush into the city to meet up, it will make the out-of-control witch hunters suspect me. And now that I'm following you, at least I have a perfect alibi."
"Okay! Then just stay with me for a while." Lambert also accepted the proposal without hesitation.
After following Lambert to the place where he was receiving the reward, Geralt realized that Lambert was planning to commit a big death, and the harm would be 50% less than Yuan Xie's kidnapping of Manji. He actually wanted to kill the official who was guarding the granary!
Because they were questioning a character named Kaladin, the officer immediately started a conflict with Lambert, and the officer was not willing to be outdone and let his Redanian soldiers join the conflict. The rational solution was to kill all the witnesses - so Geralt had to join Lambert and kill everyone.
"What happened?" Geralt was very confused about this afterwards. Although all the insiders were wiped out, Geralt felt very unhappy about it.
"I told you to go see your friends first, but you didn't listen. You asked for it."
Lambert smiled mockingly, but seeing Geralt's disappointed look, he could only interrupt impatiently: "Oh, don't look at me like that, okay, okay! I'll stay here to destroy the traces. , you go and make your notice, after that we will meet at the Seven Cats Inn in the afternoon, and I will tell you the general situation."
Geralt knew everything, so he left the scene of the crime early and went to the Herb Garden. Only when he got here did Geralt hear the details of the matter from Zoltan: Something big happened in the hunter camp. The archbishop of the temple directly ordered to block several necessary exits, and many of the forces that could be mobilized were directly concentrated in the camp. .
The martial law in the city made some people in Novigrad start to panic. They really didn't know what happened to make them feel so threatened.
But before Geralt could do anything, he suddenly discovered that Zoltan's bird cage was suddenly empty. He couldn't help but wonder: "Where is your owl? Why did it fly away?"
"What?" Zoltan looked at the empty birdcage next to him and suddenly realized, "Oh, it didn't fly away, it was taken away by Ms. Margarita."
"She just woke up?!" Geralt smiled a little narrowly, "Ha, it seems that Yuan gave her the ultimate enjoyment last night."
"Hey, the lady woke up a long time ago, and she was in good condition when she came down... After all, there was a man who made breakfast for her, which I rarely see."
Zoltan corrected, then continued
Then he got down to business: "When she got downstairs, she first asked Xia Yuan where he had been, then you, and then she saw Bobo."
Speaking of this, Zoltan showed a strange look: "I'm very surprised. She came to Bobo like an old friend who was unbelievable and even reunited after a long separation, and then gently stroked her feathers. .”
"Bobo also became very excited at this time. She even kept rubbing her head on the lady's chest...Then the lady asked me if I could take Bobo upstairs."
"You agreed?" Geralt thought that the circle of warlocks was basically quite small. It was possible that Margarita might have seen the warlocks who had been executed, or even been old friends. "That's not the case. After all, this is an era when warlocks are weak, and separation between life and death is so common." Zoltan also scratched his face in embarrassment, "If she is willing, I only need ten gold crowns to transfer it to her. ——After all, I bought too much bird food... these also cost money."
"We'll wait until he comes back." Geralt didn't object to this. "He should be willing to pay the money, but you have to wait. He's busy now and won't come back until later."
Zoltan suddenly showed a cautious look and whispered: "Is it because of him that the street was blocked?"
Geralt didn't fully admit it, just nodded slightly.
Zoltan looked shocked: "He really dares to do it!"
"After all, those who can stay with Ciri probably don't have the courage." Geralt teased and left first, "Okay, I still have something to contact Triss, so I'll leave first. .”
But what the dwarfs and witchers who were saying goodbye didn't know was that at this time, Margarita was looking worried and giving a hand to a woman with a good figure and black double braids wearing a revealing warm-colored lady's dress. Repairing the damage to his eyes.
This woman has a strong and unruly face. In the past, she must have been a strong woman who had held power for a long time. But now, this woman with a beautiful face only has two bloody flesh holes left where her eyes were.
Her eyes were actually cut out by someone!
She touched the edge of the bed with her hands in pain, as if she was struggling not to grab Margarita because of the pain, but she still murmured: "Ah... be gentler, huh... Mattie (Margarita's nickname)" "Have you been engaged in academics for so many years that you have even forgotten the micro-operations of magic?" "Shut up! Fila, I am confident that I have done a good job. Scar recovery will indeed affect the nerves," Margarita said, although He knew that the woman lying on the bed couldn't see him, but he still couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You should be glad that I have recovered now. If it were me a week ago, I'm afraid you would even feel that I was cutting your flesh with a knife. Before I Dale Murray who’s been at Oxburgh!”
"Oh -" the woman on the bed also looked curious, "Delmer?! I remember it was the strongest, most sinister and worst prison in Redania. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and all the jailers were inhumane. The gangster has always maintained the record of no one ever escaping from prison."
The woman said with a smile: "Speaking of which, if Radovid catches me, I will end up being imprisoned in Delmo."
But Margarita almost couldn't help but shudder - because she knew that the woman's smile on the bed represented the ultimate hatred and murderous intention towards the current King of Redania, Radovid.
But the woman's smile disappeared in a flash. She must also know that Margarita was frightened by this smile. In order not to affect the latter's treatment of her injuries, she could only change the topic: "So tell me, my good sister , which Prince Charming ran to the prison and rescued you, huh? This is your room, right? As soon as I came in, I smelled a strong manly smell - it seems that you had a lot of fun yesterday, And he’s very independent.”
"Stop it!" Although she was treating her injuries, it didn't stop Margarita from giving the woman on the bed a slap to punish her for teasing her, but she still said honestly, "The person who came to save me is Yuan, Yuan Xie .A foreigner who came to visit this continent saved me by some strange combination of circumstances."
"Yuan Xie..." The blind woman chewed the name slowly, "What a strange name. Who is he? I have never heard of him at all - at least I have never heard of him a year ago.
The name is like a nobody. "
"He recently came from the place east of Serikania. He was once a palace general of a large country in the far east. He was forced to wander because of issues with his team, but now he should be called...he came here to travel." Ma Greta still did not choose to tell the blind woman the truth.
"Hahaha! It turned out to be a wandering knight!" The blind woman suddenly showed a mocking smile, "Your taste is getting worse and worse. When will a wandering knight without a territory get into your bed... Okay, After all, you were captured by Redanian soldiers and tortured, but that’s...well.”
"The qualifications he mentioned should not be true," Margarita shook her head. She didn't want to be looked down upon by her old friend, and the man she was looking for was not allowed to be spoken so badly of by her best friend. "After all, even Nilfgaard It is impossible for the palace generals of the German Empire to wipe out Delmer all by themselves, blow up the entire prison, and finally let Oaks bring in hundreds of people."
"Delmer Prison was blown up?" Suddenly hearing the news, even the blind woman couldn't help but grasp the sheets tightly and was startled.
But soon the expression on the blind woman's face became crazy: "Well done! I want to see how much pain Radovid V felt when he heard the good news with so many people dead!" Now it's happening! It was a critical moment for the two major forces of the North and the South to compete for hegemony. A devastating event occurred in one place where hundreds of people disappeared. If it was not handled well, the impact would be chain-linking. "So," the blind woman with a politician's mind quickly changed her perspective, "then besides you, there should be many sorcerers who have been saved in Delmo, right? Where are the other sorceresses?"
Margarita looked sad and told the bad news: "Unfortunately, when I was rescued, most of the sorceress apprentices had been killed, and only the one who was tortured to the point of being almost worthless was left. Xier was collected by Yuan using a special spell. ""Special space secret method?!" The blind woman heard a key word, "So he is also a warlock?"
"It's not quite like it, or maybe it's not the same system as ours, so they don't call themselves warlocks that way." Margarita shook her head, "He basically concentrates his energy in his body, and his soul power in his brain - so He has lost almost any ability to cast spells; but equally, small-scale melee magic attacks, as well as any spiritual arcane spells, have almost no effect on him."
"A strange method, which is equivalent to turning yourself into a large demon hunter... Haha, the demon hunter system created by Malaspina and Arzu turned out to be developed by someone in the outer realm, and It seems more powerful than a demon hunter!"
The blind woman commented, then turned her head to Margarita: "Speaking of the Witcher, Geralt seems to have come here too. Since you are traveling with him, do you know what he is doing here?"
"Preparing to look for his adopted daughter Cili, Cilia is back." Margarita did not hide this. "She has been to Novigrad, and Geralt is looking for her traces."
"The blood of the elders is back..." The blind woman was not too surprised, but she paused for a while, "Well, it seems that the real chaos is coming, so since the white wolves are out, Yennefer What? She shouldn’t be indifferent, right?”
"She should be in the Skellige Islands now. According to the intelligence from Nilfgaardian spies, Ciria appeared in three places, Velen, Novigrad and Skellige."
As she spoke, Margarita also explained the process: "Willen has confirmed that Siliya was just passing by, but the elf mage who brought her to this world has been cursed and transformed into a terrifying monster. He is a very ancient elf. But it’s a pity that because we don’t know the spell, in order to keep it secret, we can only insist on letting the elf mage stay in the home of a local baron who has established himself as king.”
"Hmph! A pretentious careerist, he is eager to stand up and call the shots as soon as he finds an opportunity, but this has nothing to do with me." The blind woman commented, and then continued to ask, "Where is it in Novigrad? I shouldn't have found it either, right? "
"No." Margarita nodded helplessly, "But among the guys who had close contact with Cilia was Geralt's close friend, the poet Dandelion. He is now captured by the temple. In order to find a way to rescue him to get details
Yuan and Geralt are all busy outside. As for me, I am a very conspicuous person when I go out. At least until Yuan Youkong takes me or I develop the mind shielding magic, I will still stay in the Herb Garden. "
"Wait!" The blind woman suddenly grabbed Margarita's hand, "You said we are in Jiyuan? Are you staying in Jiyuan?"
"Don't worry, Philippa, this is a closed technical academy. It was given to Dandelion by the city's gangster leader Hawthorne I before his death. Zoltan is guarding here, and we are safe for the time being. "
Margarita took Philippa's hand.
It turned out that this woman was one of the once famous sorceress leaders, Philippa Eilhardt.
