After arriving in Kaer Morhen, Xie Yuan suddenly became relaxed.
What he can do, the witchers don't want him to intervene, and what he can't do, the sorceresses don't want him to observe... It's as if these secrets are a big deal to people.
The former refers to the recent hunting mission that required materials. After entering the fortress, Xie Yuan got a lot of food from a simple exchange of greetings.
Yennefer has never been to Kaer Morhen, but as soon as he came, he kept Vesemir, Lambert and Eskel around who were fishing.
And the reason is a headless, tailless “We have a curse that needs to be solved!”
For this reason, Yennefer arbitrarily threw a bed from the attic - just because it was the bed where Geralt and Triss had slept, and there were red hair on it.
Yes, it was the bed where Geralt had sex with Triss Merridred when he lost his memory.
However, Vizemir, Lambert and Eskel are not young boys who are easily fascinated by witches, and Yennefer has a somewhat strong personality... Although the three demon hunters as the original owners have no intention of fighting back , but they all chose to respond passively - commonly known as fishing.
When they first came back, everyone had their own things to do and completely ignored Yennefer's request.
Vesemir chose to repair the castle - the outer wall of this thing was broken two years ago in a conspiracy against witchers to seize the secret of becoming stronger. Since so many people came this time, it is better to repair it. Ichiban... the tinkling noise every day would probably make the sorceress unable to sleep.
Eskel is already outside, and he is going to hunt the fork-tailed dragon. It just so happens that the spinal cord of that thing has the special tissue that Yennefer needs... It is up to him, Eskel, to decide when he can hunt it. Yes.
Lambert is squatting in the fortress, but don't expect Yennefer to be able to control him. This guy would rather be making potato wine in the fortress under an unknown name than to move.
Geralt was still thinking about meeting Yennefer, but Xie Yuan put his arm around Geralt's shoulders to stop him: "Brother, go over now. In addition to the endless complaints from women, you also What can you get? It's better to go and help your fellow disciple do what Ms. Yennefer has asked her to do, and give her a surprise - this is much more useful than sending roses. "
Geralt then thought about it, oh, that's right - he thought more about it than Xie Yuan. Yennefer threw the bed from the tower as soon as she arrived in Kaer Morhen, and she was obviously still angry. .
He will definitely talk about this topic, so everyone will have to quarrel again. If we add the troubles these days... it is better to reduce the breeding of conflicts and differences.
After thinking about it, Geralt handed Uma over to the care of Vizemir, and then took Xie Yuan by the reins to the direction where the Fork-tailed Dragon left—he should be able to see Eskel there.
On the way, Xie Yuan gave Geralt a Webley MK VI pistol on a whim: "I suspect that too modern weapons are not suitable for the environment of this era, but I think as a demon hunter, owning a revolver should not be a problem. Something too outrageous."
The Webley revolvers are a series of military and police revolvers produced in the United Kingdom. This thing is a center-folding revolver and can use black powder bullets. With a simple and durable structure and strong kinetic energy, Xie Yuan is sure that it will be much easier to deal with any monster.
"Beautiful craftsmanship," Geralt was immediately attracted by the shape of the Webley pistol. He held it in his hand and played with it imitating Xie Yuan.
Looking at the hole in the bullet chamber of the pistol, Geralt naturally pulled down the hammer and asked Xie Yuan: "So, the working mechanism of this thing is to use this elastic sharp object to eject things like steel balls and stone beads. Going out?"
"Pop!" He pulled the trigger and felt the sound of the hammer when he released it. He didn't feel so satisfied: "It doesn't seem to be very powerful."
With that said, he returned the pistol to Xie Yuan.
"That's because I haven't inserted the bullet yet... Well, there is a lead bullet embedded in this small metal barrel."
Xie Yuan smiled and pulled the handle of the gun, then put six .445 bullets into the magazine one after another. Xie Yuan used both hands to load the bullets, but it was still very easy to control the horse with his thighs. After a while, the pistol was loaded. , waiting to be fired.
Looking at Geralt's expression as he waited for the power to be released, Xie Yuan was not in a hurry: "Wait a minute, I want to see if this thing can be used against the Fork-tailed Dragon, or whether the warhead can actually damage the dragon's skin - —If it’s useful for dragon skin, it will basically be useful for most creatures.”
Geralt agreed. The toughness of dragon skin is obvious to all in the occult and armor circles. However, it is a pity that the fork-tailed dragon is only a sub-dragon creature.
Because of the curiosity to see if this futuristic weapon could penetrate dragon skin, both of them increased their power until Geralt found Eskel's horse through the clues around him.
To put it simply, Eskel set up a simple camp here, and Geralt soon wanted to have a professional skills test with his brothers.
Xie Yuan has actually discovered the existence of Eskel through his mental sensibility and thermal imaging radar, but why would Xie Yuan interfere with the play between two fellow disciples.
Geralt finally got the better of him and stopped Eskel before he could sense the outsider. Of course, he was ridiculed, but he soon waved his hand affectionately.
Geralt introduced Xie Yuan to Eskel, and the two exchanged polite greetings... They really didn't know each other well before.
However, Eskel had heard Xie Yuan's name from Vizemir, and the old demon hunter had always suspected that Xie Yuan was another type of demon hunter made in the Eastern Continent—one who could stand out from everyone but had an appearance. With his ability to easily kill monsters, Vesemir had to be envious.
Eskel was originally planning to hunt the Fork-tailed Dragon here. Not only was this newly moved evil beast a threat to Kaer Morhen, but more importantly, it was also Yennefer's request - she needed the Forked-tail. Dragon's spinal fluid.
Having said this, Eskel once again mocked Geralt for seeking death - no demon hunter would be like the white wolf Geralt, who would be brothers to the king and frequently sleep with witches.
But this is also why Geralt is so famous... Speaking of this, Xie Yuan touched his nose in a rare move - what he didn't want to admit was that he was also a member of the Sleeping Witch.
Hearing that Xie Yuan owns a future personal long-range defense weapon - a revolver, and wants to try whether it can cause damage to the fork-tailed dragon, Eskel is a little skeptical... After all, the forked-tailed dragon is also a monster. If it is a lead bullet, It's not necessarily effective.
But...who said Xie Yuan didn't have a silver-plated bullet in his hand?
Eskel used bait to create a fake sheep, but because he sprinkled some scent that could attract the fork-tailed dragon, the forked-tailed dragon soon fell from the sky and pounced on the bait.
Xie Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and he held guns in both hands. One was a Smith & Wesson M1917, loaded with silver-plated .45 caliber bullets; the other was a Webley pistol, using .445 ordinary bullets.
"Pah, pah, pah..." Xie Yuan shot all twelve bullets in the double-action revolver at the fastest speed.
The bullets were scattered very densely on the body of the Fork-tailed Dragon, within a few millimeters... This meant that Xie Yuan had almost maximized the accuracy of the gun, although the result was quite unacceptable to himself.
But what is unexpected is that in addition to some blood splashes on the part where the silver-plated bullet was used, the part where the silver-plated bullet was used by the Fork-tailed Dragon only paused slightly... and was actually blocked? !
"Well, silver-plated bullets are indeed effective against Fork-tailed Dragons, but your ordinary bullets still won't work." Geralt commented. At this time, he and Eskel had already drawn the silver swords behind their backs.
Because the Fork-tailed Dragon had just been beaten like this, it was already alarmed. After discovering the attacker, it was ready to rush over angrily.
"Is it really not possible?" Xie Yuan muttered to himself.
Seeing the two people who were about to charge forward, Xie Yuan first stopped them, then waved his hand and "drag" a huge 1.8-meter-long gun from behind.
This is a 21st century NTW-20 20mm large-caliber sniper rifle produced by South Africa's Tony Neophytou Arms Design Company. Three rounds of 20mm cannon ammunition have been installed on the gun.
Under the surprised gazes of Geralt and Eskel, when the fork-tailed dragon pounced angrily, Xie Yuan pulled the bolt of the gun in one go, clamped the huge butt of the gun under his arm, picked up the handle, and had already predicted After the ballistic trajectory, there was a "bang!" and the trigger was immediately pulled.
"Poof!" A huge muzzle flame spurted out, and a huge bullet came out of the chamber, and then hit the fork-tailed dragon directly in the chest, making a muffled sound and directly piercing a hole!
"Plop!" The fork-tailed dragon flew down quickly and fell to the ground. (End of chapter)
