On the quiet path, two horses were walking side by side. One was ridden by Xie Yuan, and the other was Geralt's Carrots. At this moment, they were still riding along and could only say "Uma, Uma...Umama." The ugly dwarf of "Ma" who was once the Umma of Avallac'h.
"Speaking of which," Geralt turned his head, pressed down Uma's hand that wanted to touch his hair, looked at Xie Yuan and teased, "The person who passed the trial, the Skellige Islands Fighting Champion, the Ultimate Fighting Champion... … I didn’t expect that you would become as powerful as if you had taken a stimulant, and you would win several championships in just three strokes.”
"I'm really sorry for stealing your limelight," Xie Yuan smacked his lips as he drank wine and raised his head to reflect. "But you have to blame the priestess in the temple garden - "To get Only if the glory of eradicating Morkvarg can the temple agree to share the profit and glory with Skellige... Then she must know that as long as I want to, the trial of glory in the Skellige Islands is as easy as drinking water for me. ""
"Hey, I don't blame you for stealing my limelight or anything. I just like the rewards I can get from winning those games. I wouldn't feel a pity if I didn't." Geralt waved his hand, "I just didn't expect that you I will do so much for Shi Keqiu."
"Just paying back the cause and effect." Xie Yuan responded indifferently.
"Huh?" Geralt was a little confused.
"Just like there are two swords of fate in your world and the law of accident is always in effect, there is also the law of cause and effect in my world."
Xie Yuan curled his lips and explained: "For example, Shi Kaiqiu died because of Xili's intervention, and his fate went straight to death because he was contaminated by Xili... I don't know if he has any resentment in his heart, but if Xili knew It will probably leave a shadow in her heart - she will live with the guilt."
Geralt also became silent. Obviously, his old father also knew the characteristics of his adopted daughter.
"Actually, you have also seen the situation of Skellige. He doesn't even have any resentment towards Ciri... and based on the actual situation, he did the right thing - but the islanders of the Skellige group do not I will agree with this choice.”
Xie Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the endless mountain valleys in the distance, and said in a calm tone: "In this case, in order to reduce Xili's guilt, give Shi Keqiu a war dead and restore his name with honor. This will do to his soul, It’s a good thing for Ciri—considering that everyone in Skeckiu’s family is also dead, this should be the only thing we can do.”
Geralt also nodded silently.
"Oh, by the way, Geralt." In the calm, Xie Yuan suddenly looked at the white wolf.
"Um?"
"Hold Uma and lower your head." Before Xie Yuan finished speaking, he immediately fell on the horse.
Geralt didn't understand why Xie Yuan acted like this, but considering the keen premonition of the Eastern man in front of him, he immediately grabbed Uma and followed suit.
Then the next moment, there was a "Whoosh!" and Geralt immediately felt a huge sound of wind passing by the back of his head... as if something was passing by him.
When they looked up, a lizard-like creature with a huge tape measure just passed over their heads.
But now, Ma and Uma suddenly became frightened.
“Herod!!!!”
"Uma! Uma Mama! Uma!!!"
Not to mention Uma, even Xie Yuan and Geralt's horses couldn't help but jump up in fear.
Geralt immediately used the Yaksi Sign on the horse, quickly calming down the carrot. Xie Yuan directly used his mental power to calm the horse, and the latter returned to normal.
"That's... the Fork-tailed Dragon?" Xie Yuan looked at the winged lizard going away, and after a quick identification, he confirmed with Geralt.
"Yes, it's the Fork-tailed Dragon." Looking at the direction in which the Forked-tailed Dragon went away, Geralt silently remembered it in his heart, and then confirmed it to Xie Yuan, but then he muttered and complained, "How dare you let this beast come?" Being so close to Kaer Morhen, someone must be lazy."
"Then let's go quickly." Xie Yuan immediately shook the reins and asked the horse to run as fast as possible. "When you get to the fortress, you will know who is lazy."
"But there must be one of you among them!" Geralt complained angrily, "How can any knight avoid seeing the king after accepting the reward... You are too lazy!"
"I am saving the king's life and your honor." Xie Yuan answered directly without looking back.
"What does this have to do with me?" Geralt was confused by this strange answer.
"His Majesty Emhyr is a boss who is a bit obsessed with results and eager to achieve results. He is a bit eager for quick success...especially when it comes to finding an heir."
Xie Yuan directly made a fingertip cosmic gesture: "The Uma we brought back, that is, Avallac'h, is strictly a middleman, and because of this middleman problem, Ciri's whereabouts were not brought to him - don't eat It’s weird to hang up!”
"But in the end he didn't... that's right," Geralt wanted to argue, but thinking of Emhyr's nature, he had to admit it, but soon he became angry, "Then this has nothing to do with you. What does it have to do with hiding your body before?"
It turned out that when they were about to arrive at the crow's nest, Xie Yuan suddenly proposed to hide his figure and let Geralt carry Uma himself, while he secretly responded.
Geralt, who had no doubt that he was there, agreed. As a result, just as he took Uma out of the crow's nest, a group of Nilfgaardian cavalry suddenly surrounded Geralt, and they were about to return to Vizima to see Emhyr— —The emperor was impatient.
Geralt could only reluctantly accompany him, while Xie Yuan... Xie Yuan has always maintained the mode of a transparent man - from the beginning until he returned to Kaer Morhen again!
But Xie Yuan also said plausibly: "For this, I have to do this, and you even have to thank me for being invisible all the way."
"Oh?!" Geralt teased, "Why?"
"Think about it, Geralt, if Emhyr died in Vizima Palace because of my presence." Xie Yuan's horse finally slowed down, and the huge and ancient stone castle building of Kaer Morhen was already in sight. , he looked at Geralt and explained, "Aren't you letting your already precarious reputation fall into a bigger scandal?"
"You will kill Emhyr?!" Geralt was a little shocked now, "When did he offend you?"
"No, I don't like Radovid V more," Xie Yuan explained. "If anyone needs it, I can immediately start arranging the assassination of the king."
"Then Emhyr..."
"Alas, although I am introduced as a general of the palace imperial army who is wandering around...but in fact, my status in my world is higher than him! He is nothing in my eyes."
Xie Yuan spread his hands helplessly: "If he dares to be so cruel to me, I will give him a slap in the face, but then you will probably be angered; in severe cases... you don't want to know about the severe ones - I am also for You, Yennefer and Ciri thought about it."
Geralt: "..."
What can you tell him to say?
