Chapter 604 Communication with Ciri: Eyeing the Wild Hunt
"Xilia? That's a good name." Xie Yuan raised the juice cup again and saluted the white-haired girl Xilia, "Then Miss Xilia...oh, I'm really rude, I'm taking the liberty to ask, this
Is that your last name?"
The white-haired girl responded with a smile. She could see that the male host in front of her was indeed not a noble, or in other words, he was not a noble in the conventional sense: "Thank you, my full name is Shilia Fiona Ellen Leanne.
Lun."
"Hmm! Miss Xilia, it seems that your family background is not low!" Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise. In addition to being a special person, the little girl in front of him was also a noble lady in their world.
And it sounds like the little girl is proud of her name... This family background seems to be extremely precious!
"But you can call me...Ciri."
"Okay, Xili." Xie Yuan was kind, and then invited Xili to eat first, "You can eat something to fill your stomach first. I think you should have a lot of things you want to know, don't be in a hurry, as long as you are not in a hurry
Let’s go, we still have plenty of time.”
Xili couldn't wait to eat something, but before that, Xie Yuan not only prepared a knife and fork for her, but also a pair of chopsticks - it is easy to drop vegetables into the soup pot when eating hot pot with a fork.
Xili is indeed a warrior who dares to constantly escape from the endless pursuit of the elves. She has a rebellious spirit and a spirit of experimentation. After seeing the new tableware, she wanted to imitate Xie Yuan's moves and try it out.
But as expected, the effect is still not very good, but it is already impressive.
Xie Yuan did not go over to teach, but kept repeating his posture of rinsing meat and vegetables naturally, and then told Xili about the order of rinsing meat and vegetables, and that certain foods that are difficult to cook should be boiled in boiling water first.
It will take some time to start clamping.
Xili learned very quickly. After Xie Yuan repeated this action 10 times, she could easily start rinsing food with the same action.
"Are you a wandering retinue or a female knight?" Xie Yuan drank another glass of juice, dipped his napkin in his mouth, and looked at Xili's elegant but fast eating.
When Xili fainted at Iron Man's feet, she was carrying an exquisite half-hand sword on her back. Therefore, even if she was arranged to rest in the guest room, Xie Yuan very carefully placed the sword beside her bed.
Judging from Ciri's nimble movements and instant access to chopsticks - the sword behind her is not a decoration or a simple self-defense weapon... but a murderous weapon that can kill people at a critical moment!
Maybe in her world, women can also exist as knights?
But after hearing the question, Ciri stopped eating, then dipped her mouth in the napkin next to her, and explained: "Well... I should say I am... a demon hunter."
Demon hunter? Xie Yuan's mind flashed to a pair of white brothers holding shotguns, and then back to a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe and holding a whisk in his hand...
"Then your level must be very good." Xie Yuan praised.
At first glance, the half-hand sword is made of an iron-containing alloy with moderate hardness and toughness. The sword only has a little bit of strange energy attached to it - the sword is a good sword, but it is definitely not good enough to be used to fight ghosts with negative energy.
, so she should have relied on other means to subdue the monster.
And since she was able to escape for so long, she should be considered a battle-hardened warrior - not to be underestimated.
But immediately, a blush suddenly appeared on Ciri's white face, and she suddenly looked a little shy: "I...I am not an official witcher yet...A formal witcher needs to pass a special trial...
And I...I haven't accepted a commission yet."
"Oh!" Xie Yuan understood immediately, but said, "It's okay. As your vision grows and your skills are refined, you will definitely become a world-renowned demon hunter in the future."
"Thank you for your blessing." Xili seemed very happy to have the expectations of a person who seemed very strong.
Seeing that Xie Yuan was very kind, Xili couldn't help but be curious and wanted to ask: "You said your name here is Ruifan? Linde, do you have many aliases in many places?"
"No, they are all real names." Xie Yuan explained patiently, "I originally wanted to tell you after you have eaten, but since you asked, let me remind you first: the world you are in now has changed from
The world you used to live in was a little different.
Here, except for a few areas where the authority of the lords is owned by the state, the authority of the lords in most areas is actually owned by large financial groups - what you call big businessmen.
The place where you are now is located in a city jointly managed by several large chaebols - Night City."
"Wow! A businessman became a king?" Xili seemed to have experienced higher education and immediately understood the importance of it. "This is a bit like a city in my hometown, Novirig."
"Yes, businessmen control every aspect of this city," Xie Yuan told Xili. "Although the technology in this world is very new, there may be many things that you cannot understand from your current perspective. But the essence of this place is
The world is still a world where the jungle prevails, but the group that determines the life and death of the lower class has changed its ruler."
"Oh!" Xili nodded in confusion.
"But you can rest assured about your safety. My other identity is John Ironface, the chairman of one of the chaebols that control this city - Metal Gear Group." Xie Yuan pretended to be cowardly.
"Oh...ah?!" After Xili just heard it, it took a long time to realize what Xie Yuan meant, and then looked at Xie Yuan in surprise and confusion - aren't you a lord?
But there is a reason why Xie Yuan introduced it this way: "Because John Iron Mask is actually a fake identity, an empty shell. Everyone can become this person - but this "person" was created by me.
Ruifan is my real name here, and the real occupation written on my identity file is indeed the owner of a tavern - we call it a bar here."
"Why is it so complicated?" Shirley was a little confused.
"Just in case, to avoid trouble." Xie Yuan replied calmly.
"I don't understand what you're doing." Xili, who didn't understand, could only lower her head and cook in a low voice.
Xie Yuan also smiled and decided to eat first before letting her three views undergo a shocking baptism.
A silent lunch can actually be settled quickly. After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, ur-025 appeared in the restaurant in the form of a spark robot and began to clear away the tableware.
Then Xili was almost startled. Seeing such a mighty guy coming in made her subconsciously touch her back, and then she realized that she didn't bring her sword when she went out to eat. Then she saw Xie Yuan's expression - very casual, as if he didn't care.
Watch out for the arrival of the tall robot.
That seems to be the entourage of this "lord".
"Uh...are you...a metal golem or a construct?" Seeing Xie Yuan's indifferent expression, Xili tentatively wanted to greet the construct.
"Construct is a good name, but I prefer you to call me Iron Man." Ur-025 looked at the white-haired girl with a calm expression, "What you see now is not my real body, but I am the first
A witness who discovered you."
"Uh, hello, Iron Man." Xili immediately corrected the title obediently.
Then ur-025 stopped looking at her and looked at Xie Yuan: "Tell her more about the situation when you found her. She still needs to know a lot of things."
Then Iron Man took the tableware and left the restaurant, leaving a confused Xili looking at Xie Yuan in confusion.
"Ahem!" Xie Yuan cleared his throat, looked at Xi and explained, "Xili, do you still remember how you got here?"
Xili tried hard to think back: "I...I seemed to have entered a space window all of a sudden...Forgive me for describing it this way, I felt like a window. Then as soon as I entered, my head suddenly hit a blue-white pillar.
, and then just passed out."
"Actually, what you hit happened to be Iron Man's body...His lap, and then you fainted." Xie Yuan told the truth, "Ur-025 and I knew how you got here from the beginning.
I also encountered the elves who came to hunt you down... or the aliens."
"You met the Wild Hunt?! Oh, no!" Ciri stood up immediately, as if to run away, "I have to leave right away, the Wild Hunt will have a large force rushing in soon -"
Then Xie Yuan's words stuck him in place: "I and Iron Man killed more than a hundred of them in one go. I don't think they are that strong?
As for them daring to come? I guess all the mainstream armies around the world would be overjoyed - I have never seen such a fragile race that travels across galaxies!"
"You killed them? More than a hundred people?! Really or not-"
Xili subconsciously didn't quite believe it, and then was stopped by Xie Yuan's next operation - Xie Yuan's left hand began to move slightly, and then a set of orange transparent equipment began to appear on his hand, and then
An image began to appear on the wall opposite Ciri.
At this moment, the spark robot of ur-025 came out and suddenly became motionless under Xili's gaze. Then Xili saw a huge robot waving to her on the opposite side of the image: "Xili, look here!"
Listening to the familiar voice, Shirley murmured: "Iron Man?"
"It's me!" The giant iron man flashed the red monitor, and then continued, "Ciri, after you passed through the hyperspace gate at first, you bumped into my leg."
After saying that, the camera started to zoom in, and Ciri simply took a breath of cold air - because it was then that Ciri discovered that Iron Man was actually a giant robot five meters tall!
It’s taller than the three-meter spark in front of you!
"The place where you were found is the huge underground space on the third underground floor of Ruifan's Metal Gear Group Airport, 49 meters above the ground."
After gesticulating the place, Iron Man turned his perspective back to the scene of the incident, which again triggered a violent reaction from Shirley - she even covered her mouth in shock.
Because in front of a large ring-shaped machine that emitted blue and purple light, there were densely packed black-armored corpses - their black armor was in pieces, and the hard and exquisite armor was easily destroyed by an unknown weapon.
It's damaged.
Although the light source was not bright enough, Ciri could tell at a glance that this was indeed the Wild Hunt—the enemy that had been pursuing her life and death.
There are so many Wild Hunt knights lying here, it seems a bit endless at first glance, and the fact that Xili only saw Iron Man except Xie Yuan also confirmed one thing - so many Wild Hunt knights are indeed
He was killed by a very small number of people...perhaps it was Xie Yuan and Iron Man who were in front of him.
"You guys look...really strong." After seeing that a lot of enemies had been wiped out, she sat back in her chair with relief and began to tell her story to Xie Yuan and Iron Man who had reoccupied the spark.
In short, from a very young age, Ciri has had an extraordinary life experience - she is the only direct bloodline of the ruler of a country, and at the same time, she is also the only heir to the ruler of a larger empire.
But a bigger secret bloodline is the culprit that caused her series of tragedies - the "blood of the elders".
As the successor of this bloodline, she has the ability to travel through time and space, and is called "dy of spad time)". However, because of this, her whole life has been used and plotted until today.
Her biological mother was secretly killed by her biological father, and the latter even tried to marry her to gain the forbidden power.
Although she was finally stopped by her adoptive father Geralt and adoptive mother Yennefer, who had always treated her very well, the idea of becoming a demon hunter in the future was established in her mind.
Unfortunately, in a massacre against a sub-race, Geralt was implicated and died in battle. Yennefer also ran out of magic power and died because she wanted to save Geralt.
She tried a way to save them... Although the price was that she was being hunted by the Wild Hunt, she had no regrets.
As a drifter who often lives in no fixed place, she has been to many places, including her original home planet and other worlds. She has also met many friends... and maybe even lovers...
But basically there are no good results... The death or betrayal of some friends even caused serious psychological trauma to her.
But as long as the Wild Hunt Knights continue to pursue her relentlessly, she will never be able to stop and will be on the run again.
"I still don't think it's safe for me to stay here."
Having said this, thinking of the threat of the Wild Hunt army's invasion, Ciri began to want to leave again, "Maybe you can easily deal with a hundred or so Wild Hunt knights, but they also have a magic ship that can float in the air or even in the universe.
Longship—"
"Wait!" Xie Yuan suddenly stopped Xili, "You said they have a ship? A ship that can travel between the latitudes of the universe and the sky?"
"Huh?...Hmm!" Xili looked at the sudden sparks in Xie Yuan's eyes. She really didn't understand why Xie Yuan was so excited, but she still nodded and confirmed the information she just said.
"The Wild Hunt must have a longship to invade the latitudes of other worlds with an actual physical body, but this means investing a lot of magic power and adding a person with navigator ability."
"Without the longship, the Wild Hunt would have no choice but to project itself into other worlds as an illusory ghost to make waves."
Xie Yuan and ur-025 looked at each other, and Xie Yuan began to ask Xili: "Xili, honestly speaking, do you really want to leave now, or do you want to rest in this world before leaving?"
"I...of course I want to stay and see, but -"
"Okay! No need for buts," Xie Yuan stretched out his hand to stop the girl from talking, "Today I will open the space door again to administer justice for you and punish them severely!"
"Ah?d(?д??)" Shiri showed an expression of incomprehension.
"Stay here with peace of mind, Xili." The rich display of ur-025 made a righteous expression, "Justice will be served, and it is our duty to do so!"
"Ah! (?;;)?" Xili really couldn't understand the thoughts of this person.
He actually had an idea for the Wild Hunt? He wanted to seize their ship? What did the two of them think?!
But Xie Yuan and Iron Man's idea is very simple: a magic longship that can travel smoothly in the universe and other latitudes, but its soldiers and weapons are all the characteristics of medieval cold weapons... The two of them can even join the gang directly
Go in and wipe them all out!
If God does not take back what he has given, then you will be blamed. If you leave late, you will get nothing!
