"Yuan, let me introduce to you, this is Philippa Erhardt."
It was already the morning of the next day. Looking at the sudden appearance of a woman, although this was a woman wearing a blindfold on her head, Xie Yuan was still stunned by such a sudden appearance, so Margarita came out immediately to introduce.
Xie Yuan blinked and looked at the woman in front of him. It was unimaginable to see that the two eyes on this person's blindfold were emitting light!
However, he reacted very quickly and did not reveal anything strange about this. Instead, he extended his hand very politely: "I have admired the name for a long time, and when I saw him today, he really has an extraordinary bearing."
But Philippa and Margarita looked at each other, mainly Philippa, who was both troubled by Xie Yuan's strange compliment and completely unimpressed by the sight of a blind sorceress with a huge bounty on her head. Interest felt a little offended.
"Don't you find it tempting?" Philippa asked a little bit sinisterly, "I am standing here, as long as you tell the court my whereabouts, you can get a generous reward."
"Have you ever directly caused hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of unarmed people to be punished?" Xie Yuan's eyes became lazy.
"No." Philippa answered simply. If she really did these things, forget about others, and Margarita next to her would probably not want to see her either.
"Did you directly kill women, children, the elderly and the weak?" Xie Yuan continued to ask.
"No!" Philippa replied firmly, which didn't mean she was lying, but it also meant she was a little impatient.
"Then you are not a villain that people hate by the normal definition, then I can't treat you in the name of punishing evil and promoting good," Xie Yuan, feeling amused, began to ask, "Then the question is, your value is huge Come on, will this bounty allow me to buy Redania?”
Let alone Philippa, even Margarita was overjoyed. Philippa said sarcastically: "You can mention this in front of him and see if he will use the most cruel punishment to deal with you—— A hard-hearted arrogant and lunatic like him will not tolerate your tone." But Xie Yuan just shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that I still have to find Ciri, and this is a priority, otherwise I can Let me show you what it means to be a veteran of three dynasties for a short period of time."
"Moreover," Xie Yuan looked at the blind woman in front of him and felt very impatient: "The hatred between you and Radovid V is your business. I do have the idea of killing him... nothing else. I mean, it just makes him unhappy. But this is my own will. It’s my freedom to do what I want and when to do it.”
At this point, Xie Yuan's face became very serious: "But if you want to lend me my hand to kill the King of Redania, I have to give you a careful reminder: my fees are quite high, don't Now, even when you were at your peak, you can’t afford it.”
"Haha!" Philippa laughed angrily: "Although I really don't have much money now, I would like to hear about a price that I couldn't afford when I was a palace consultant." "Then listen up. !" Xie Yuan held out a finger, "My standard price is converted to one hundred thousand Novi Grain per order. It is aimed at the middle and upper class dignitaries in the region, regardless of civil servants or military generals. The deposit is 30,000, and then the first 20,000 are taken. The development fee will be charged. If the balance payment is successfully submitted afterwards, the deposit will be refunded if failed, but the development fee will not be refunded."
"100,000 Novigrad gold crowns?!" Philippa and Margarita looked at Xie Yuan as if he were a monster. Philippa's eccentricity was simply beyond words. "King Killer Leisuo killed three kings, but that's nothing." If you get three thousand florins, you might as well just ask for 100,000 Novigrad crowns—100,000 Novigrad crowns, give it to me.”
Then Xie Yuan directly gave Philippa a huge shock - with a wave of his hand, "Bang!" a huge gold ingot was directly placed on the table for her!
This is one of the gold ingots that Xie Yuan once entered into the bank vault in Raccoon City and pulled out. It is hard to imagine that the Umbrella Company did not move the hard currency in advance at that time - this also proves that the incident in Raccoon City was not the first one initiated by the Umbrella Company. Get up. "Here are the stored gold ingots worth 100,000 Novigrad crowns," Xie Yuan put the gold ingots in the Philippines
In front of Lipa, "Didn't you say it's okay to have sex with you? Then you try, okay, this gold ingot is yours - I'll leave it here. If you want me to do it... you have to take it out and follow me." These treasures of equal value...it depends on how you choose."
After saying that, he winked at Margarita and then left the loft in a loud voice. Philippa then stretched out her hand to pick up the gold ingot and check it, but found that the gold ingot pressed on the table was motionless and could not be lifted at all!
"This is actually true?!" Philippa was also shocked and looked at Margarita, "How did he make something happen out of nothing? Why can't I feel any spatial fluctuations? I thought it was an illusion!"
Margarita thought about Xie Yuan's previous methods of containing several people, and shook her head helplessly: "I didn't feel anything at all."
"What a ghost!" Philippa's expression began to become serious. She looked at the gold ingot with a dark expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
Soon Geralt and Xie Yuan's small plan was solved - through secret messages, Geralt and Triss met with the palace emissary and obtained specific information about Dandelion. The key and the information behind it were handed over to Dijkstra - the latter already knew that the mastermind was really a poet, but for the sake of finding the wealth, he chose to forgive.
At the same time, in the process of "Searching for Hawthorne II", through Dijkstra, he met Roche, the former commander of the Temerian Special Forces Blue Guards.
Then he passed Roche and met Radovid V, completing the closed loop of the logical chain. Radovid V seemed to have doubted whether the disappearance of Hawthorne II had something to do with Geralt, but was disturbed by Geralt's remarks. The white wolf excuse was dismissed.
It's a pity that thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God. This saying not only applies to Dongfang, but also applies to Radovid - even if Geralt did not benefit from it, he still believed that he had given Geralt a benefit and asked him to repay it.
The means of repayment is to explore an elven ruins, which is said to be one of Philippa Earhart's former lairs.
Yes, it's the same place where Philippa performed eye surgery on herself.
