Chapter 772 Visiting the Orphanage in the Humpback Swamp
"What? So that witch is actually Kyramez?!"
Lindenville is a surprisingly poor village. After the Nilfgaardians brought war taxes and infectious diseases, the villagers became even poorer.
When Xie Yuan came here, he also saw a monster removal notice - of course, this was not a very clear monster removal notice, it just said that a child was abducted and someone needed to investigate.
This type of task should be left to professionals like Geralt.
Sure enough, after Geralt came to Lindenville and met with Xie Yuan, he happily accepted the task.
Of course, he planned to implement it later, and first communicated with Xie Yuan what was happening and what he had experienced.
So I ate a big melon.
"Yes, and Avallac'h and Ciri were separated once. I wonder if they have arrived in this world before."
Xie Yuan told Geralt in detail about his trip with Keira to visit the elven ruins where Avallac'h lived temporarily, and then analyzed it: "Since even Avallac'h wants Ciri to be careful of the old witch with a hunchback in the mire,
, so with Xili’s characteristic of being a no-nonsense person, I guess she will probably fall into the old witch’s lair.”
"Hmm~~ When you say that, it is indeed possible." Geralt, who was well aware of the fate of his adopted daughter, had to admit this, but as an old father, he still had to argue, "But Ciri
I really got into trouble with the old witch, so it must have been the old witch who had some bad intentions - do you think it was the old witch who caused Mrs. Anna to be kidnapped?"
There is indeed a snack path here - actually, there are colorful snack-like decorations on both sides of the road. This road leads directly to a yard with three wooden buildings.
"Ahem." Xie Yuan couldn't help coughing and suppressed the thought of laughing in his heart: The physical and mental damage caused by the war to young children is sad. They lost everything at such a young age and saw so many bad things... Even if they saw
There are so many war orphans, and Xie Yuan really feels sorry for these children who naturally talk about the evil in the world.
It's just that Xie Yuan kept the result to be only one horse's head behind him throughout the whole process, which can be regarded as showing his proficiency in equestrian skills while taking care of this guy's face.
However, Xie Yuan, who saw Geralt's embarrassment, also agreed to the competition.
Geralt seemed very calm. He walked out and spoke first: "It's an interesting nursery rhyme."
But combined with the scene where they innocently recited a murderous nursery rhyme... Xie Yuan felt a cold sweat quietly break out from behind.
"It's true." One of the little boys wearing a felt hat explained straightforwardly, "When the army arrived, I heard an old man say: Hide the girls in the woods! Otherwise, those girls' breasts will be there
How could those poor young men stand being dazzled in front of the soldiers? That's what he said."
"I don't know what happened to the last controller of Viren. But now the apparent controller of Viren is the Bloody Baron - this is a cunning and cunning old killer. To control such a ruthless guy, you can only rely on absolute
strength, but it is obvious that the old witch woman does not have overwhelming strength."
"Let's go now!" Geralt was also unambiguous. "Since Ciri actually had a conflict with the old witch, we have to learn about the real-time situation from them and at the same time verify the whereabouts of Ms. Anna."
It is a long journey from Lyndonville to Camelback Slough, and it takes two people nearly a day to ride a horse.
"The cook tied the dog's legs and gave him a good beating. Another child ran out of the fog and took the next sentence
During the journey, Geralt saw Xie Yuan's very skillful horse riding skills, and even thought about competing with horse racing - he had just won the horse racing competition, card competition and boxing competition organized by Willen spontaneously, and he was very proud of it.
Then I saw an expert and just wanted to give it a try.
"The cook is an idiot and shouldn't kill the dog." A child suddenly shouted from beside the woodpile.
Therefore, he could only compete in aspects such as equestrianism that would not affect his combat effectiveness - although he immediately regretted it as soon as he said it.
…
Then, Xie Yuan and Geralt, who were standing in front of the courtyard, heard a uniform nursery rhyme coming from far and near:
"The dog entered the kitchen and stole a large piece of meat." A little girl started.
The children were not afraid of strangers, but they also seemed very indifferent. One of the little blond girls stretched out her hand and said directly to the outside: "I don't know you, get out of here!"
"Finally, it was made into sausage, and it tasted great." The fourth child.
"Absolutely," Xie Yuan defined without thinking, "It seems that the righteous gods rarely appear in this land, but in places like Willen, the old witches are so active - but
It seems that he wants to win over people's hearts and control Wei Lun through the manifestation of the saint."
"Then drain the blood and peel off all the skin." The third child.
"Then when are we going to Humpback Mire for confirmation?" Xie Yuan looked at Geralt and asked, "Go early so that I can go to see Ms. Keira again at her invitation. I don't know what she wants from me."
"There are no girls here." One of the boys stood up and said directly.
Since Xie Yuan doesn't have any good cards in his hand, I'm afraid the two of them will have to lie down for a day to relax in the boxing match... Although Geralt doesn't understand Xie Yuan's full strength, he knows very well that a warrior can stand up to the senior mage Caranthir.
, and people who have a slight upper hand are definitely not something that can be dealt with casually.
Geralt also had a familiar temperament and asked directly: "I'm looking for a girl with white hair and scars on her face. Have you seen her?"
One of them looks like a church... but it's probably not dedicated to a good god.
Geralt was almost frightened, but he repeated the question and asked if there were any witnesses.
Then all the children in the fog ran out happily and played together on the woodpile.
"You don't have breasts," the little boy retorted very seriously, "You don't!"
"Haha." Xie Yuan laughed it off.
Finally, everyone sang together: "Now we have to make a fire to cook it!"
After all, what he and Xie Yuan heard was that Xili had been here and had conflicts with witches.
Because victory comes without force - Xie Yuan's horse is not like the carrot carefully selected by Geralt, but an ordinary military horse picked after casually killing a group of bandits on the road, and even the saddle is
The worst kind.
"And..." Geralt patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder and showed a smile that every man would understand. "You can't miss the sorceress's invitation. This is a specialty of our world. You must try it."
Geralt tilted his head and thought for a while before nodding in agreement: "Indeed, if the strength of this old witch can directly overwhelm the Bloody Baron, then why stay in a barren land like Velen instead of Novi in the north?
Leah, what about Vizima in the south?
Therefore, they chose to use roundabout ways to influence the Bloody Baron’s family members, especially Lady Anna, which happened to be the time when they had just had their quarrels and conflicts.”
"What about me?!" The little blond girl was unhappy.
The Humpback Mire is a large swamp in the center of Wellen. There is a large amount of swamp gas, swamp witches, water ghosts and other monsters that like humid environments.
But the children's answers were depressing: they have no witches, no young girls, only snakes, frogs, poisonous insects... and at most one Johnny.
Huh? Who is Johnny?
But it's a pity that when Geralt wanted to ask Johnny carefully just now, "What are you arguing about?!"
A scolding suddenly came from behind, and a white-haired old woman wearing a green dress, with a red beaded necklace around her neck and a condom on her hand, rushed over aggressively, "What are you talking about? Huh!"
Looking at the white-haired old woman, many children suddenly shook their heads without saying a word, but when Xie Yuan looked at the figure of the old woman, a light flashed in his heart!
