Chapter 749: Meeting Geralt at Last, Facing the Mirror Master
Chapter 749 Finally meeting Geralt and facing the Mirror Master
On the way back to Baiguoyuan Village, Xie Yuan suddenly discovered that there was an extra stall at the entrance of the village, a vendor in white with a watermelon head cut.
Xie Yuan casually handed over the horse to the patrolling Nilfgaardian soldiers, then came to the stall and asked with interest: "I haven't seen you here recently, where did you come from?"
"Dear Sir," the merchant in white clothes saw that the Nilfgaardian soldier was very polite to this man and was a little nervous, but as a businessman, his eloquence must be excellent, "I am a traveling merchant, but here
The owner of the tavern is my relative, but I can't leave now, so I can only finish the goods here before making any plans."
"Oh?" Xie Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Were you attacked by a gryphon?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xie Yuan looked left and right and praised: "Then you are really lucky, and your skills are also good! Many people have been swallowed up by the gryphon beast, including people and horses. You can't do this.
We only lost one horse, but at least our lives and goods were saved."
"Oh, how could I protect myself when my horse was killed by a griffin beast?" the vendor mockingly denied. "This is because two master demon hunters rescued me on the way, and I was lucky enough to pick it up."
To a life."
"Two demon hunters passed by here?!" Xie Yuan blinked when he heard this, "Where are they now?"
"They should be in the tavern, they haven't been here long," the vendor pointed casually in the direction of the tavern, and then added, "They are all very polite people, and even if they saved me, they didn't ask for extra compensation from me——
It’s completely different from the rumors.”
"Seeing is believing." Xie Yuan responded lightly, and then said goodbye to the vendor for the time being. "I still have something to do to find the legendary demon hunter. I haven't seen your products yet. I'll come back to you later.
have a look."
"Of course, no problem, sir!" The vendor was very respectful, "I welcome you whenever you come."
This is also the charm of pubs. In an era without the Internet and newspapers, if people wanted to convey and disseminate information, they could only go through large distribution centers like teahouses or pubs - and they also had the same disadvantage as the Internet and newspapers: the information was real.
False, you need to analyze it through the details yourself.
According to the current Vivaldi Bank in Novella in the north or the Zionvanelli Bank in Beauclair, it is converted into crowns according to the following ratio: 1 oren = 1 crown; 1 florin = 3 crowns.
But Xie Yuan's eyes just glanced around aimlessly, but the perception in his heart was firmly locked on the right side, where a bald man wearing yellow travel clothes and carrying a travel bag on his shoulder was drinking alone.
Before Xie Yuan could say anything, Master Mirror had already stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Witchers are also very good herbal experts. You can actually ask them for advice - Geralt will see you later.
.
Because in Xie Yuan's perception, life is life and people are people in other places, but only in this place with yellow travel clothes, except for a person on the outside, it is actually "nothing".
But don’t share what you observed with anyone, it will not be good for you or those who know it, and your trip will not end so soon, we will meet again..."
In the end, Geralt, who had not received any valid information, still cast his gaze on the bald man in yellow robe and sat down in front of him.
Geralt began to ask each table about Yennefer's general appearance, but one of the locals with no background looked down on mutants like Geralt, and the other really didn't know much, so his attitude was particularly arrogant.
This is not something I can handle now!
Xie Yuan immediately made a judgment in his heart, and then naturally turned around and walked towards the landlady.
This yellow robe and bald head is indeed not simple... Xie Yuan was so shocked just now that his hand holding the cup paused slightly, but he soon returned to normal - I wonder if the old demon hunter at the next table noticed this special situation.
.
But according to the principle of existence and non-existence, the "nothing" here just proves that there is something here - just because the energy level of the "thing" here is too huge, Xie Yuan's ability to distract at this stage is basically
If it cannot be observed, it cannot be defined.
So Xie Yuan showed a frightened smile and looked at the yellow-robed bald man in front of him who was smiling at him: "I wonder who your Excellency is?"
But this time, Xie Yuan rarely heard anything - except that his bald head suddenly reached out for two glasses of wine in the middle of the conversation, as if they were having a secret conversation.
Well! Although art comes from life, sometimes it has to be higher than life. However, based on the clues left by the sorceress Yennefer and the description given by Ciri, this white-haired, younger demon hunter should be
That's Geralt of Rivia.
But Xie Yuan didn't care about this. All the bloody men in the village were lying on the bloody battlefield not far from here. Now the remaining smelly fish and shrimps want to provoke, Xie Yuan is eager to kill a lot of them and let them accompany him.
The warrior!
This means that even though this person in yellow traveling clothes is enjoying drinking alone, there should actually be nothing here at all.
But Xie Yuan did not intend to join in so quickly, but chose to sit at the table next to the two demon hunters and enjoy the wine.
There were only a handful of people who didn't look at me, except for the boss's wife, who was a respectable person playing cards at the table who didn't pay attention to me anymore.
Why should you follow this person?
Just like that, Xie Yuan felt a few disgusted looks coming from behind him - both for being so generous to Xie Yuan, but also for Xie Yuan's use of florins.
The plan has changed. Now an obviously extraordinary extradimensional creature is located here. Xie Yuan hopes to find out the real purpose of this guy, so he might as well be a random passerby and wait and see what happens.
"Okay, respectable sir," the landlady immediately carefully collected the three gold coins on the table - to be able to give money so generously, he must be the most respected guest, and of course she couldn't offend him.
The next moment, the surrounding movement was heard again, and after Geralt stood up, the movement was indeed coming towards him.
As for why this college professor came to this war-torn countryside... According to his original words, "I am seeking knowledge. I think this is more important than life. Old books covered with dust cannot satisfy my thirst for knowledge. I think
To witness the invasion of Nilfgaard with my own eyes, to witness the entire battle, and then record it all in my chronicles. This will become my masterpiece."
But as soon as Xie Yuanjiu was picked up, Master Mirror held him down with one hand: "Hey! It doesn't have to be like this. You are a foreigner and a traveler, and I am also a traveler - both travelers... Can we be here today?
Knowing each other now is a kind of fate, so we should help each other even more, right?"
But they do carry two swords unique to witchers: one should be a steel sword, and the other should be a silver-plated sword - used to deal with various monsters and weirdos.
As a result, Geralt used a spell that seemed to mobilize magical energy to make him speak obediently, but it was obvious that they only knew the legendary story of the "Female Ghost Cavalry" and nothing else.
But unlike Geralt's imagination of using documentary techniques to describe the trauma in war and the cruelty of perpetrators, this professor turned out to be a war whistleblower - "Rape and robbery are just trivial matters in war. Just imagine it."
As an ornament, used to embellish a coat called "Strife"."
The older demon hunter is a very cautious guy, and his speech has a kind of cautiousness unique to the elderly and a nostalgia for the "beautiful" past... although this is just a filter of the times.
Xie Yuan immediately walked into the tavern. This place is a place that Xie Yuan doesn’t want to come to. Once he enters, he will get a lot of stares and prying eyes, not to mention that most of the people who come here to drink and drink are frustrated people - because Nilfgaard
A sad man who lost something vital due to Germany's invasion.
"Ah, Master Mirror, I have offended you suddenly this time. I hope you will forgive me for what I have offended."
However, Xie Yuan also smelled a slight smell of blood. At the same time, when he glanced at the table of demon hunters, he found that there were three deep marks on the shoulders of the old demon hunter. He probably suffered a little from the griffin beast he had just encountered.
hurt.
After Nilfgaard occupied the local area, they did not completely abolish the local Temerian currency Oren, but they did not allow its use. At the same time, they also vigorously promoted the Florin. In addition, Temeria is now leaderless.
In a state of fragmentation, Oren's value has dropped to the point where no one cares about it.
Soon a bottle of Temerian Champion Wine was delivered to Xie Yuan, along with a carefully wiped wooden mug, which Xie Yuan also took.
But judging from the old demon hunter's attitude and his peaceful drinking behavior, it seems that these three scratches did not have much impact on him... he has good recovery ability.
But just when Xie Yuan heard the sound of Geralt getting up, he suddenly stopped - no, not only Geralt, but even everyone's movements stopped in an instant... Alas, they came to the door.
Good guy!
I don’t know what Geralt, who has been devastated by the consequences of the war, but insists on expressing neutrality in all disputes, thinks about it. But in Xie Yuan’s view, this is simply the idle moaning of a petty bourgeoisie in his own fantasy!
This person... humph, Xie Yuan thought for a while, and from the standpoint of seeking his own government, he would recommend it to Captain Guan Li later - with just a little bit of digging, this guy is simply a potential Gongzhi.
ah!
And Xie Yuan also wanted to know what Gwent is.
Krona is the common currency in the north and is issued by Novilia. Many people have a large amount of Orens and cannot spend it, so they can only replace the Krona first. This is equivalent to a huge loss. Naturally, for people like Xie Yuan who have been using
The people of Florin are extremely angry.
Xie Yuan began to concentrate on drinking, and at the same time, he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and listened carefully to the anecdotes that were exchanged in the tavern.
Then he turned around and came to the corner, and sure enough, there were two white-haired armored warriors sitting on this table - one was indeed gray-haired due to old age, and the other seemed to have lost his melanin like albinism, but had a
A younger mentality.
Going to the other table with the well-dressed middle-aged man didn't yield much, and not only did he gain nothing, he was dragged into a game of cards... It seemed like it was called "Gwent"?
However, the identity of this decent middle-aged man is not simple. He is actually a professor from Oxburg College in Novilia, an important city in the north of Temeria. He teaches contemporary history.
Of course, judging from the poetry and legends that Xie Yuan has been exposed to recently, some people seem to have dramatically beautified this style into: silver swords kill monsters, steel swords kill evil people.
"Bring me a bottle of strong wine." Xie Yuan casually slapped three florins on the table - florins are the official currency of the Nilfgaard Empire.
"Pfft!" Pushing open the door, Xie Yuan came in and immediately felt dozens of piercing stares - and then only a few fewer after discovering the identity of the incoming person.
"Oh, Yuan, when you and I first meet, don't talk about this kind of topic that could kill you -" But to Xie Yuan's surprise, the bald man in yellow robe seemed to be very taboo about his own nature, "You just need to call me It can be a mirror master, a mirror seller, or even a bald man."
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he poured a glass of wine by himself and held it in both hands to apologize: "I will punish myself with a glass of wine."
Made! Xie Yuan used his other hand to covertly wipe the sweat on his forehead... Today was really exciting. He hadn't had such a heavy white hair sweat in twenty years - it was the last time it made him so panicked. When encountering the system.
This mirror master is not as good as the system, but he is quite capable and can control time!
Fortunately, this guy didn't do anything against him right away, but Xie Yuan didn't know under what circumstances he would meet this guy again?
What would he want me to do?
But now it was no longer Xie Yuan's turn to continue thinking, because Geralt had come to the opposite side of Xie Yuan's table, sitting where the Mirror Master was sitting just now, and asked Xie Yuan what he was already familiar with:
