Chapter 190 It must be Ciri!

Because he heard that the elf wizard was also looking for Xiri, the demon hunter Geralt and the sorcerer Kayla Metz entered the underground hiding place of the mysterious wizard and looked for the wizard in the hole where he could not see his fingers.

Although the underground elves ruins are near the village of Meadcops, even if Geralt doesn't know the exact location, he still has the sorcerer Kayla, who can just open a portal and go directly there. The distance is not too far.

But the two of them still dragged until the next day before they really set off and entered the dark space inside the cave.

But don't get me wrong. The sorcerer pile driver and the sorcerer are not wasting time, nor are they exploring the mystery of the harmony of life, or communicating the unity of spirit and flesh. Both of them are just doing preparations and adjusting their state.

Geralt has seen more of the past, so he understands the closer he gets to the goal or the more critical he reaches, the less he can't be anxious.

I don’t know how many people think they have reached the last moment of victory, so they relaxed their vigilance and failed. I don’t know how many people feel that they are stable, so they forget to be cautious and then be killed by the enemy.

After all, as a qualified witch hunter, he often has to fight against various types of enemies. If he really only relies on his own ability and holds two swords and fights, the White Wolf would have died many times long ago.

But he lived past one hundred years.

Therefore, naturally, I know what the witch hunter's ability is. I can only say that half of the genetic mutations in the body structure and function caused by drugs and magic have greatly enhanced the body's functions, while the other half relies on rich knowledge of monsters and herbal medicine.

The decoctions, sword oil and bombs prepared for various monsters are their true killing, not the steel sword or the silver sword itself, nor the superb sword technique.

And it is precisely because he has been a witch hunter for more than a hundred years that "making complete preparations in advance" has become Geralt's instinct, and this concept has been engraved into the soul of the witch hunter.

He would never rush into it immediately just because Kaila talked about a secret place. He would not rush into it immediately without boiling some decoction, making a few bottles of sword oil, and bringing several bombs. He would be in no way sure... After all, if it was very dangerous inside, if he didn't prepare, he might not be able to see Cili in the future.

In order to avoid the witch hunter, Kaira would rather come to a remote countryside like Willen where birds do not shit, and naturally she is also a sorcerer who cherishes her life very much.

I understand that whether it is Xili or the elf mage, they are involved in the issue of wild hunting. When they explore the elf ruins, they are likely to directly bump into such a terrible enemy... She was confused and naturally made all kinds of preparations.

The facts proved that this move was correct. Not long after entering the secret room, they directly encountered the Wild Hunter. The other party arrived at the elves one step earlier than them, and seemed to be looking for Xili.

The battle took place for granted, but fortunately, the witch hunter with rich combat experience, with the help of the sorcerer, killed these wild hunters and the hunting dogs they brought one by one, successfully experiencing the crisis.

Then, they did not find more clues in the elves ruins, and could only judge that not long ago, someone had indeed been here, and it was very likely that it was Cialis.

And the elf mage had already left, but left a projection, a message to Xili.

He warned that it was no longer safe, and asked Xili to leave the place as soon as possible, and also asked her to be extra careful about the old witch who was hunched back... The news was very limited, after all, it was a message set in advance, and once it was triggered, it would give specific information.

But it should be noted that this is just a specific information and is preset in advance.

It is not a projection that can be discussed. It can be answered by asking whatever you ask, and it is full of words. This disappointed Geralt, but he was also a little lucky - because Wild Hunter has been here faster, and if there are more clues, then Cili might be in danger.

In that case, it would be better to be like this now. Although he did not get more information, the Wild Hunter also did not!

There is no bad news, that is good news. At least it can be confirmed that Cili has not been caught up by the wild hunter and has not encountered any unexpected problems... If you think about it from another perspective, it will be totally good news. Geralt felt that he was in a good mood and was no longer so anxious and angry.

So much so that when Kaila asked for his help to get the reward that the elf mage had not had time to cash, the demon hunter agreed readily.

After all, strictly speaking, this was something that had been agreed before, and he finally really knew why Kaila had known the exact location of the ruins long ago, but he didn't dare to come over to get it by himself. He had to drag Geralt to accompany him.

Because she is afraid of mice...

That's right, this sorcerer is afraid of mice. Once she meets a mouse, she will be so scared that she will only scream in place, leaving only female instincts, and at most she can support her shields like conditioned reflexes to protect herself.

As for launching an attack, or simply opening the portal to escape, it seems impossible for her to do.

This made Bai Lang feel a little amused, but he also seemed to feel that this sorcerer had a little more like a little woman.

However, the mission was not successful in the end. After the sorcerer unbelievably searched the entire ruins, the witch hunter also accompanied her back and forth for several laps. After several hours, the two discovered that there was nothing Kaira needed in the ruins.

The magic lantern promised by the elf wizard was not there at all.

...

...

"It must be Xiri! It's that...that girl took my magic lantern!"

After the two walked out of the cave, they were facing the spacious and quiet lake of Lake Wendamel, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun that was about to fall from the horizon in the distance, making them shimmering. Occasionally, the gentle wind blew by, and layers of patterns suddenly rippled.

At this time, looking at the endless and clear lake water that caught my eyes, Kaila suddenly thought of something, gritted her teeth and said something, and for no reason, he put the suspect's hat on Xiri's head.

"Don't talk nonsense, Kaira." The witch hunter frowned slightly in displeasure, and naturally raised questions, "Why can't the elf wizard not leave your magic lantern in the ruins?"

"What do you know, it must be Xiri! I remembered that she had asked me about magic lanterns and Fyke Island before..."

The sorcerer was angry and anxious. He waved his hand hard and said in a frustration: "I should have thought of it long ago that she came for my magic lantern from the beginning. She wanted to steal my achievements!"

“…”

“…”

"Feke Island? Your achievements?" Geralt narrowed his eyes, and his amber mutant pupils, which were originally like a cat, actually looked like a tiger at this moment. "It seems that Kayla, you have also hidden some things from me. Do you mind talking about it in detail?"

“…”

“…”

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to use you or Xiri..." The sorcerer was a little angry at her quick mistake, but she felt that the atmosphere was a little nervous, and she sighed and explained.

It would be impossible not to explain, because she had no doubt that if the witch hunter in front of her thought she was harmful to him or his daughter, she would draw out the steel sword and slash at her with a sword.

Even though they had just fought side by side and dealt with their comrades who had been hunting together, the atmosphere between them was not only intimate, but also began to appear a bit ambiguous and charming, and it would not affect the next moment that both sides would fight to the death and separate life and death.

Hell! She doesn't want any troubles.

Kaila really wanted to use Geralt to achieve her own plan, but she swears to God that she didn't want to harm the other party.

"Do you know where is the middle of Lake Wendamel?" said a long sigh. The sorcerer turned around, stretched out his index finger to point at the end of the endless lake, and asked.

“…Feke Island?”

Geralt quickly contacted the context and gave an answer.

"Yes, it's Fyke Island, with a rat tower on it. Everyone says it's haunted..." Kaira said seriously.

"As far as I know, in order to escape the arrival of Nifgaard's army, the former ruler of Willen fled to the island with his family. Later, some angry mobs rushed to the tower and killed the lord and his family."

"But what does this have to do with our topic?" Geralt wrapped his hands on his chest.

"Don't worry, listen to me... That rat tower was originally a lab of a warlock named Alexander, where he used mice and farmers to study some kind of infectious disease." Kaila said, but hesitated when he said it later.

“What infectious disease?”

"Experience against the Catriona Plague." After taking a deep breath, the sorcerer gave a reply.

"I don't know what happened to the mouse tower, but there should be a powerful evil spirit or a curse. I want to use magic lanterns to relieve the problem of that tower..."

The witch hunter's expression became solemn, but before he could say anything, the sorcerer simply continued to say it in one breath-

"No matter what Alexander did, his achievements should not be buried just like this. I want to at least get his experimental records of studying the Katriona plague."

"Why? You should know how dangerous that plague is." Geralt asked in a deep voice.

"Then you should know too! I'm like a crossing rat now! Do you think I'm happy to live this kind of life?"

Kaila burst out in anger, and said loudly without hesitation.

"I want to develop an antidote or vaccine for the plague based on Alexander's experiment, and then sell it to Radovid at a good price, at least it can write off the crimes of me and the club!"

"Sell the antidote or vaccine of the plague to Radovid?" Bai Lang was surprised at first, then couldn't help but mock him, "Are you crazy?"
