"I heard that you came from a place east of Serikania? Or are you a mid-level military attaché from the Imperial Palace Force?"
After talking to Geralt, Emhyr summoned Xie Yuan again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Yuan answered calmly.
"Tell me more about your past." Emhyr leaned back in his chair and listened.
Xie Yuan also told Emhyr the historical events from 1265 to 1272 in detail - this is a very detailed historical fact, but there are many detailed processes that require Xie Yuan to compile one by one.
Fortunately, Xie Yuan has already put together a story about the original film and television character Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, which combines the historical background of Hu Jinghui and Nan Tong, and then used a universal tool to check the rationality of the details and content.
In addition, Xie Yuan himself was a senior military officer, so many things sounded true, which was too simple for Xie Yuan.
"Are Yuan He a coward?...Well, whether this is true or not, it is a good story, but it is indeed too far away from Nilfgaard." Emhyr commented after listening to the whole story with relish, "
But what you said about the large-scale use of cavalry and the response of infantry... makes sense, and I will study it carefully."
Xie Yuan also nodded lightly.
"Alright, let's talk about your future prospects!" Emhyr raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan, "Do you want to join the Nilfgaardian army? I heard from my soldiers that your martial arts are very outstanding. That is almost impossible."
You have beheaded dozens of rival Wild Hunt knights - with this ability, and your status in your original country, I can directly give you a baron position, and you will serve as a second lieutenant in the Alba Division
...Are you willing?"
Don't forget, Xili is both his teammate and his apprentice, not to mention that Xie Yuan also needs this little girl's help in making a temporary portal. If Xili is a little louder and reveals it... what will others think of him?
Don't know, but he would be embarrassed to death.
"She has already set off for the Skellige Islands."
Obtaining a knighthood seems to be a kind of bribery for Emhyr, especially when seeing a guy with a high martial arts value. Although he cannot be directly under his command, he should try his best to not be involved with Nilfgaard, which is beneficial to his own side.
Good thing.
Without the pass, Geralt himself couldn't go to Novilia at all, so he had to stay in Velen first!
"I have a question: What if, let's say you go to Novilia. Now the front line is closed, and you need a special pass to enter and exit..." Geralt looked at Xie Yuan, "Can you enter?"
Telling the truth about his unclear relationship with Ye Naifa would not only bring no benefit to the current situation, but would even stir up some bad assumptions in Xie Yuan's mind.
But the strange thing is that Yennefer is not prejudiced against him.
"Where is your wife?" Xie Yuan looked at Geralt strangely, "Didn't you agree to plan to explore other places where Ciri appears?"
Ambassador Yadro can only enter Novilia with himself and three or two attendants, but the issuance of a pass is definitely not included.
"Why are you worried about the pass?" Xie Yuan once again looked at Geralt in confusion, "Can Novilia and Velen still cover the entire front with sentries?"
Hearing this, Emhyr's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Not to mention, Geralt has a lot of acquaintances in Novilia: Dandelion, Trotan, and Chape are nearby, and further away there is Shani who is studying medicine at the local college in Oxburg, and even...even
He once had an affair with the sorceress Triss Meritred, whom he had not seen for six months.
It is a very cost-effective idea to have Geralt and Xie Yuan each responsible for one direction, which can save a lot of time in eliminating wrong options.
First of all, judging from what Geralt learned from Ambassador Yadro in the next room, the situation in Velen is a quagmire - monsters are densely populated, the people are in dire straits, and the power of Nilfgaard must rely on a man who calls himself "Bloody"
The local separatist warlords like "Barons" would otherwise be almost unable to move forward.
"Oh?!" Xie Yuan didn't understand. "Do you want to break off the relationship with Ms. Yennefer?"
As soon as they left the door, Mamari asked Xie Yuan about the choice of heraldry... This is the symbol that every knight needs to get.
But at this time, there was a very difficult problem: since the front line was intertwined between Novilia and Willen, a personal pass was required to go from Willen to Novilia, and he did not have this thing on hand.
In such a place, Geralt and Xie Yuan can stay together. Even in terms of force, Xie Yuan will be more suitable for activities in Velen than Geralt.
But Geralt suddenly remembered that after many days of contact with the old boy in front of him, he also saw some characteristics:
This is a guy who has principles, but only follows a few principles; a good-looking guy, but only follows a little bit of face.
"That's all for today... Since you want to help, then take this... knight to find the demon hunter and the sorceress."
"Oh...it's okay. I'll call you Madam more and less Madam next time, but it seems that Ms. Yennefer doesn't mind very much." Faced with Geralt's strange accent, Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously, "Then
, since the sorceress has gone to Skellige, let’s choose one from Novilia and Velen, and Geralt, you can take the lead in the selection.”
He just doesn't understand what he's thinking yet...but he definitely doesn't want to risk losing everything when he does.
"No...Oh, it's nothing." Geralt immediately changed his words, "I'm just afraid that if you call her old, she won't be happy."
"Even if she does become an official again... it would be better if she recruited me herself." Xie Yuan declined Emhyr's suggestion calmly, "Look, Your Majesty."
Emhyr didn't say anything more, but directly shouted "Mamare!"
How about serving as a middle- and lower-level officer in a place like Nilfgaard and becoming a minor noble?
If Xie Yuan had no status elsewhere, then he wouldn't mind being one, but he, a guy who had been the commander of the "Jinyi Guards" in the entire universe in the space age, went to a planet to become such a worthless official...
…I can’t let go of this face.
Mamari immediately bowed his head respectfully, and Xie Yuan also saluted as usual and left the office.
But actually there are disadvantages.
Without thinking, Xie Yuan showed MSF's black, yellow, and white skull logo on the side to Mamari: "Just use this as my logo."
This was the name of the chamberlain, and as soon as he heard Emhyr's call, he immediately opened the door and came in, lowering his head and waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's instructions.
"Hmm..." Geralt touched his chin and fell into thought.
"Hmph, is that so..."
Emhyr gave the order.
"This... looks very ferocious." Mamari looked at the skull and seemed a little hard to explain.
But apart from a brief evaluation, Mamari had no other opinions. Instead, after accepting the badge, she led Xie Yuan through the long garden corridor, ignoring the disdainful glances of many ladies and the many former
After receiving jealous and angry looks from the nobles who came to line up to see the king, Xie Yuan finally saw Geralt.
Geralt told Xie Yuan that Yennefer had made a choice, but after hesitating for a while, he still said intermittently: "Actually...well, you don't have to always call her my wife."
So Xie Yuan said something directly: "Your Majesty, I have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and one of my purposes is related to a girl - she once learned swordsmanship from me. When I came to travel, I also found her.
.”
"Of course this is impossible!" Geralt immediately denied Xie Yuan's conjecture, "This is not a time of peace. Apart from patrols, both sides generally do not set up standing sentries."
"That's right!" Xie Yuan hit his palm with his fist, "Then what's there to be afraid of even if you don't have a pass? In my opinion, the road to Novilia is a piece of cake. In fact, those patrols are the best
Don't touch me."
Xie Yuan made a gesture of counting money with his hands: "If I'm in a good mood, I can just chop people into naked pigs and it'll be fine; if I'm in a bad mood... I'll even sell them to Willen to be eaten as dry food."
!”
Geralt: "..."
He was speechless, because based on his demon hunter intuition, Xie Yuan was not lying - he would really do this!
