Li Nuo lay on the ground panting, Cha Bai sat next to him, his face didn't look very good.

In front of them was the griffin beast that was already smoking.

Li Nuo made a mistake. God damn, he brought the Pokemon setting into another world view.

If this was the case, Lei Zhenzi would not be killed by him!

Fortunately, the two of them cooperated quite well. Li Nuo used the whip blade to wrap around the wings of the griffon to fix it to the ground. Then, they worked closely together to spray out blood with thunder and lightning. The power of the nine cows and two tigers overflowed the horizontal line, and finally the lion was killed.

The eagle beast tidied up.

The only damage was that James and Al's love house was almost destroyed.

"Chabai, are you okay?" Li Nuo glanced at Chabai, who was breathing heavily.

"It's not going to work anymore." She said a bad word in simple and indifferent words, and then took a big breath and said: "Continuous use of magic has caused the upper limit of energy value to drop too much..."

Li Nuo took out a bottle of "Wanyama Liquor" and handed it to her, "Alcohol can restore the upper limit of energy."

"I really don't know." Chabai took the bottle and looked at the label on the bottle curiously.

"Then how did you restore the upper limit of your energy level?" Li Nuo asked.

"Take a cake with red wine and chocolate." Chabai said, unscrewing the cap of the bottle, opening her soft lips slightly, and took a sip like drinking water.

"Cough~cough!"

The way she choked and coughed because of the alcohol made Li Nuo laugh.

"You can't drink so much of this thing in one sitting..."

"Why am I a little hot..." Chabai's face was slightly red, with a pleasant blush. She looked at the wine bottle again, put it to her lips and took a curious sip.

"Hmm...it's a little comfortable...but it's really hot."

She tugged on her collar, trying to get the wind into her clothes.

Li Nuo knew that something bad might happen if he allowed her to drink again, and the drama of the android lady borrowing wine to return to secular life in the countryside might soon be staged.

At this time, James, who was hiding on one side, said: "What shall we do next... The house is gone, and I have nowhere to go."

Li Nuo thought for a while, glanced at the white tea on the wine bottle, snatched the bottle away, put it to his mouth and took a sip. He coughed lightly and said, "Bury Solna's body first."

Then I’ll find a piece of clothing for my companion, preferably a hat to cover my head, and finally...are there any onions?”

"Yes, what do you want this for?"

Li Nuo screwed on the wine bottle cap, took out an iron umbrella to cover his cane, then took out a dagger and walked to the griffin beast's head. While cutting the griffin beast's head, he said: "If there are no onions, I can't guarantee it."

You can make it out of the woods safely to Pond Venis."

…

A few hours later, Li Nuo took Cha Bai and James back to Pound Venis and arrived at the first stop when they arrived in Coville, Plaxida Bay Port.

They found the pirate ship that carried them. To be precise, it was now a merchant ship.

Li Nuo looked at Cha Bai with red eyes and said, "Repeat the second grade declaration you made at that time."

[Rune: Moon] has been replaced, and now we are waiting for the effect of [Focuser] to activate.

Cha Bai rubbed her eyes. She had never thought that other than Marger, there could be something that could make her feel so awkward and intolerable.

But thanks to Onion, her current appearance and emotions are full of pain.

"How many floors can a bag of rice carry..."

After finishing speaking, Chabai nodded to indicate that [Identity] had been activated.

Li Nuo then called for the crew of the "pirate ship" and explained his purpose to them.

"There is an interested brother who wants to leave Coville and join your fleet. Can you let him join and monitor him so that he doesn't get off the ship in the next few days?"

The well-dressed and civilized crew members agreed to this request without hesitation.

"But does he have any special skills?"

"He can write letters and love letters."

"Oh~ we like this~"

Li Nuo laughed and murmured that James must also like you guys, after all, his sexual orientation can make you flourish.

James saw the destination that Li Nuo had arranged for him and felt relieved. After all, compared with overcrowded cities or dangerous wilderness, ships on the sea are indeed the safest.

So he dug into his pocket, took out a book and a drawing and handed them to Li Nuo.

"The book was promised to you, and the blueprints can be regarded as gifts. If Jelalai dies, I will give you all the money again."

Originally, according to the agreement, the blueprints could only be obtained after Jeralai was killed, but James handed over the blueprints first and kept the money. Perhaps for him, money was more important and more tempting.

[Completed side mission: Little farewell is better than newlyweds]

[Get 1500 experience points]

[The mission reward "Falling Against Science" has been transferred to your inventory, please check]

"Violating science...falling..."

Li Nuo was thinking, and had a premonition that he was going to be confused soon.

"By the way, sir, you can be considered my benefactor. Can you tell me your name? I will pray to Lord Triss for your safety every day."

Because of James' long-standing fear, even if Chabai called out his real name during the conversation with Li Nuo, he didn't hear it due to a short circuit in his brain.

Li Nuo wanted to refuse and ask for a hero regardless of his origin, but after thinking about it he finally said: "Edward Roger."

Chabai's expression suddenly changed slightly when he heard the name, and he muttered the name in a low voice with his thin lips.

James lowered his head slightly, "Mr. Edward, thank you, I'll leave first."

Watching James leave under the leadership of the crew, Li Nuo did not forget to say hello, "Try to let these tough guys go."

"Don't worry, I only have Al in my heart."

James left an innocent smile and left Li Nuo's sight.

Then, the first thing Li Nuo did was not to look at the drawings and books he had obtained, but to look at Cha Bai. But before he could speak, he noticed that Cha Bai had his head buried in thought, seemingly deep in thought.

"What's wrong?"

Cha Bai said softly: "The name you just mentioned, Edward Roger, I have seen in the "Red Teachings"."

"ah?"

"Yes." Cha Bai kowtowed, "Hundreds of years ago, he helped Lord Triss gain a foothold in Kevir, and then disappeared without a trace. His name was 'Edward Roger'. This is what is written in the book."

"This...is a coincidence." Li Nuo stopped the topic with a smile and took steps towards the city.

"Cha Bai, now I want to talk about what we are going to do next."

Cha Bai followed him in silence, waiting for Li Nuo's words.

"You will return to the Red Order later. There are two things you need to do after that. The first thing is to introduce me to the senior management. It is best to meet Holander directly."

"Reason for the recommendation?" Cha Bai asked.

Li Nuo had already listened to Cha Bai's explanation of her experiences along the way and understood her current identity as a source warlock suffering from amnesia.

"Lost partners..." Li Nuo suddenly shook his head as he said this. This statement was useless and too abrupt.

It's not appropriate to say they are siblings, after all, there are differences in hair color and appearance.

Moreover, as long as the mask on his face is taken off, his identity as a demon hunter will be revealed, which makes him worried that he will be taken away and sliced ​​by the Red Order, which is better at scientific research.

"You were attacked by a gryphon in the wild. I was the hunter who happened to be tracking the gryphon and helped you at the critical moment. Finally, I sent you back to the mansion after knowing all the truth." Li Nuo paused at this point.

After a moment, he continued: "As for the reason for your escape... the world is so big and I want to see it."

After hearing this, Cha Bai buried his head in thought and said, "I also need a reason to return to the Order."

"It's too cold outside, it's better to go home." Li Nuo said this reason without thinking. Anyway, according to common sense, the sect would not suspect that the dull-minded Yuan Warlock would lie.

Cha Bai kowtowed, "I remember the reasons and explanations, but to meet a high-level person like Holander, as far as I know, you need to have an identity that you can show off. Just an introduction will not work. At most, I will give you a lot of help."

With money, there is also the opportunity to join the government."

Li Nuo said: "Just say that I am a hunter with more than 1,000 points, codenamed 'Diao'. It is extremely important to find Mr. Holland. It is really impossible to use the name of Mirror Master."

"good."

"The second thing is, pay attention to the next strong man named Balange. He must be a member of the enemy players. I saw this guy enter the embassy building with my own eyes. He must be related to the upper management of Kevir. Follow him.

Use the clues to see if you can identify the players on his team."

"good."

Cha Shiro's promises were always simple and clear. Perhaps it was because the code of conduct of the Yoroha Army androids had already been deeply ingrained into her brain. She only agreed to the task. Except for completing the task, she never considered the possibility of failure and the way out.

Keep your thoughts to yourself.

In fact, Li Nuo hoped that she could express her own opinions and think about things like a person.

But Li Nuo himself also understands that some things need to be slowly changed by Cha Bai. Maybe she will change as time goes by, and maybe she will be like this until her death...

It seems that artificial humans can live for hundreds or thousands of years...

"As for the most important thing..." Li Nuo thought for a while and said: "Our power will never defeat the Shadow Elder, so we must put part of our bet on the Mirror Master, so when we see Holander really

Very important."

"Is the Shadow Elder so powerful?" Cha Bai asked.

"Well, quite strong, beyond the power of all creatures in this world."

"How about comparing with that dragon?" Chabai was referring to the "Dragon King Bahamut" encountered in the "NieR" script.

Li Nuo shook his head, "There is no comparison with Bahamut. If it were you in the past, you might be able to fight with the elder."

Cha Bai fell into silence. She knew very well how strong she once was, which was at least one level beyond the world of "The Witcher".

Li Nuo noticed her worry, smiled and waved his hand, "Okay~ Even if the search for Mirror Master fails, I still have a backup plan, but it's not stable yet."

Li Nuo means the [Summoning Magic Stone] sleeping in the backpack.

"I understand." Chabai nodded.

By this time, the two of them had walked out of the alley and arrived in front of the embassy building.

Li Nuo stopped.

"Won't you come with me?" Cha Bai asked.

"No, if I enter the embassy building directly with you today, I may not have the chance to go to the Notting Forest Palace, and I will also lose the chance to see Holland. I just need to stand here and show my face."

"Understood."

Cha Bai responded and turned around to leave. Li Nuo hesitated for a moment and suddenly stopped her.

"One more thing."

"Um?"

"In the future, there is no need to always explain things clearly or agree without any requirements or questions."

Li Nuo smiled and said, "I am not a 'Yorha Troop', nor am I assigning tasks. If you have any ideas or meanings, you can always put them forward."

He paused and said, "Just like humans..."

Cha Bai was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly, with a slightly invisible arc raised at the corner of his mouth.

"Um……"

Cha Bai took off his hat in front of the embassy, ​​and soldiers and several magicians came out one after another.

When Li Nuo saw Cha Bai pointing at him in the distance and not knowing what he was saying to the sorcerers, he turned around and left with some relief, not looking back even if someone called from behind.

After quickly walking through an alley and confirming that no one was following him, Li Nuo came to the market he had walked through before.

Just when he was about to check the contents of his backpack, a ball rolled to his feet.

When he turned around, he saw a little girl standing next to him, with a look of confusion on his face.

Li Nuo recognized this girl at a glance. She was about ten years old. On that rainy day, he saw her shooting a ball under a tree in the rain. At that time, he complained in his heart that this girl was so obsessed with shooting because she wanted to participate in the national competition.

The ball is not even afraid of the rain.

Li Nuo picked up the ball and handed it back to her, then turned to leave.

"Sir..." the girl suddenly stopped him.

"There is a gentleman who cannot be named. He asked me to throw the ball at your feet after seeing you for the second time..."

"What do you mean?" Li Nuo was confused.

The girl looked up at him and said, "I don't know either..."

Li Nuo squatted down, keeping his eyes almost level with the girl, "He won't let you tell me his name?"

"Well, this is our agreement." The girl said.

Li Nuo felt something was wrong, and then asked: "Then can you tell me what your agreement is?"

The girl nodded, "That gentleman helped me pick the ball off the tree and asked me to agree to his request. This... this is our first agreement...

He helped me heal my father's leg injury, and asked me to stay here every day no matter it's windy or rainy, holding a ball and waiting for people wearing masks. This is the second promise...

The last agreement is... He said that when he sees you for the second time, he will throw the ball at your feet, and then ask me to tell you that he asked me to do this, and he cannot say his name. "

Li Nuo was stunned, baffled...

"What does that gentleman look like?"

The girl shook her head, "He didn't let me say it. He said that if I told him his face and name, something terrible would happen. That gentleman was very strange, but I always felt that he was terrible... Although he helped my family

……and……"

The girl's expression was filled with uneasiness, "And the question you asked me just now, and your reaction, were all right by that gentleman... not missing a word..."

"Did he also ask you to say this?" Li Nuo asked in a deep voice.

The girl shook her head violently, "No, I didn't want to say it just now, but he suddenly appeared next to you just now and asked me to say it."

Li Nuo's face turned pale instantly, and time stopped for a moment.

Mirror Master!

Promise, foreknowledge, omnipresence, control of time, transcendence of dimensions, this is definitely the mirror master!

Only it can do it. No, Li Nuo denied the wording in his heart, it should be Him...

But why take such a big detour...

"Girl...what's your name?"

"Karen."

Li Nuo stroked her brown hair, "I will pray to Lord Triss for your blessing..."

Leaving the confused girl behind, Li Nuo stood up and left.

He felt powerless regret for what happened to this girl. People involved with the Mirror Master would not have a good outcome. What awaited her was the fate of being ruthlessly played by the Mirror Master.

Li Nuo had no choice but to use Kevir's unique blessing to pray that the girl would be "protected by Lord Triss".

The sky was getting gloomy, and Li Nuo was walking on the street where there were still many people, his mind already in the sky, thinking about the Mirror Master.

Philip died at the hands of the Mirror Master. Since then, the devil may have been following him all the time, or even earlier...

He asked the girl to remind herself that the actual words were saying, "I am by your side, and I am waiting for the moment to meet you."

Li Nuo stopped when he thought of this and fell into deep thought.

"It has something to do with Philip... The butler said that Philip wanted to leave Novigrad, which means that the Mirror Master who terrified Philip at that time was in Novigrad. Philip didn't understand that the Mirror Master was actually everywhere.

Later, in the mission of "Bloodborne", Philip said at that time, "I shouldn't challenge him." The challenge should refer to guiding me as a "demon hunter" to contact the Mirror Master, expecting me to use "demon hunter"

Identity to exorcise demons...

The man who knows everything is in Novigrad..."

He thought of how in "The Witcher 3", in the White Orchard Hotel, the Mirror Master lied and said that he had heard about Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg from Dandelion's ballad.

As Geralt searched for Yennefer's whereabouts, he also guided Geralt to the Nilfgaard Empire.

This is exactly the same as his own experience. He is always using lies to cover up his identity. In order to see the Mirror Master, he was guided by him to find Holander, and he led him all the way...

Li Nuo gritted his teeth and frowned, knowing the true identity of the Mirror Master.

"I'm a fucking idiot...Ronald Omdis..."

…

"Thank you Mr. Balanger."

Emily leaned forward to thank the strong Balanger.

There were many people queuing at the entrance of the repair shop, all of them were government personnel in military uniforms. They placed their mobility vehicles and some old mechanical products at the entrance of the store, waiting for Alphonse Newgate, a non-famous repairman, to perform repairs.

If all these businesses are completed, the turnover stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce can basically be completed ahead of schedule. Emily really can't believe that this seemingly ruthless Balanger can help so much.

"I promised you to help with publicity, and I will definitely do what I say. This is my creed."

Balange said the motto of life that did not suit his appearance without any red face.

"Where's Mr. Newgate?"

Emily said: "He is making something in the back room. He hasn't left the house all day."

In the back room, there are messy metal components, a blueprint, and a metal skeleton arm piled on the technician's table.

Marger kept humming, holding a wrench in his hand and twisting the last screw.

“Hmph… hum… hum hum~”

There was an invisible light in his eyes, and he raised his metal arm.

"With it, I can fight with the sky! Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

You don't know who he is talking to. He may be comforting his heroic spirit sleeping under Hyrule Castle, at least that's what he thinks.

At this time, Xiao Ma opened the door and couldn't help but feel his throat rolling when he saw Marjie's horrified expression and wanton laughter.

"Um...my sister asked you to go out. The big man came yesterday. She said you should meet him when you have time. There might be a chance to expand your business."

Marger instantly retracted his face, turned back to "cold" as if nothing had happened, put on a wig, beard and glasses, and walked out of the house domineeringly.

"Thank you very much for the resources and business you brought, Mr. Balanger." Marger stepped forward and looked up.

Balanger said expressionlessly: "I just did what I promised. This is my creed."

Like a semi-idiot with an IQ of 60, he repeated his life motto again.

Marjie held up the frame of his fake glasses and said, "Huh, I can't believe that you, who threatened to destroy the store yesterday, would actually go to such great lengths to help our small store do so many things today."

"Because I hate people with low abilities, but I admire talented people. Your craftsmanship impresses me and should not be buried in the market."

"It seems that you have a pair of bright eyes that discover talents and discern the truth. You must be as clear as spring water deep in your heart."

The two of them stood in silence, both of them silent. Suddenly, almost at the same time, they stretched out a hand and held it firmly.

"Nice to meet you."

"Same luck."

Xiao Ma was suffocated watching from the side, thinking that the sudden empathy between the two elder brothers was a bit too shameful...

"Sister, how on earth did you pick up the horse...Newgate Technician?"

Emily smiled awkwardly, reached out and stroked Pony's head, and said with a gentle smile: "You can't control it."

At this time, a woman wearing a black suit with a tall and handsome figure came outside the door. She was Qiao Ya.

"Balanger, Charon told us to hurry up and get down to business. Felina is already going crazy."

Without letting go of Marjie, Balanger turned around and asked, "Have you not found anyone yet?"

"Anyway, go back quickly."

Gioia put her hand on Balanger's shoulder, and then she seemed to exert slight force, but the muscular man was pulled away like a paper man.

The moment he took a step forward, Gioia noticed a shallow mark on the wall next to the repair shop, which looked like two words.

She frowned and stared, suddenly looking startled.

"2b..."

The words carved on the wall are 2b!

Suddenly, her thoughts began to go back, remembering the scene when she first met the source warlock Cha Bai. The woman's outstanding appearance and figure were exactly the same as 2b in "NieR". At that time, she was in the "World Linkage Line" and "

The original game character brought out by the player vacillates between these two viewpoints, and now everything is clear.

Cha Bai is 2b, and 2b is Yuan Warlock!

She immediately looked back at the repair shop. Why did the escaped Warlock carve his original name here?

"Miss Gioia! Mr. Balanger! I finally found you!" At this time, a soldier's shout interrupted her thoughts. The soldier was panting and breathing, and whispered softly:

"Master Yuan Warlock is back."

…
