Chapter 778 Visiting Keira for the second time in the name of knowledge advancement
"I didn't expect you to help the Baron so thoroughly."
At this time, Geralt and Xie Yuan were walking on the road. They were walking towards Keira's temporary residence. Xie Yuan still had the sack on his horse.
Geralt teased Xie Yuan: "You don't take any reward at all. You are so generous. You give away the magic potion that can make people live for ten years."
Geralt didn't understand the technological meaning of the panacea, so he directly and subconsciously understood it as a magic potion... Although this was indeed an indirect understanding, after all, it was a black box technology.
"I want...but it's obvious that I can't get anything I particularly need, because the Baron doesn't have it either."
Favor debts are the hardest to repay——"
"But you won't stay here for a long time..."
"As far as the trap I just poked is concerned, if you don't expose my movements accurately, it can be regarded as returning a favor to me... If you can't do this, then since I rescued you, I will also do the same.
It can take people's lives - it depends on how he behaves."
Geralt thought for a while and could only nod: Xie Yuan has done enough. If the Baron really brought trouble to Xie Yuan... then he can only blame him for being ignorant.
Just think that after the witcher hunts the monster, if the client doesn't pay, don't blame him for being cruel.
"Why don't we go to Novilia now, but go to Keira first?" Thinking of their current destination, the demon hunter was a little confused.
"The man on the back is called Hawthorne II. He is one of the leaders of the four underground giants in Novilia. He inherited the legacy of old Hawthorne... albeit through patricide."
Xie Yuan pointed to the sack that had been carried immediately.
"Then he is really a Hawthorne (a synonym for bastard)." Geralt looked at the sack and was filled with disgust. "But what does this have to do with our going to Keira?"
"Hawthorne II once had a very fierce dispute with Ciri. He almost killed Ciri and even robbed her of something."
As he spoke, Xie Yuan took out a beautifully decorated box from his "pocket" and handed it to Geralt: "Obviously, Ciri wanted to find a magician to repair the box, but Hawthorne broke his promise and even wanted to seize the box.
she."
Geralt took the box: "How do you know this?"
"Hey, when the fog started, I secretly ordered the puppets I made to kill all the perverted guards in the prison, along with reinforcements and armed personnel... to use a big mess to fish in troubled waters."
Xie Yuan then patted the sack, making it make a "wow" sound: "As a result, I noticed that there were a large number of armed personnel in a large villa. However, although they had a unified and unique system, their combat effectiveness was
Poorly low."
"When the puppet gave me the feedback, I was shocked. I was afraid that I would kill the wrong good person, so I rushed over and took a look. The result!!"
Xie Yuan slapped the sack again, still unable to conceal his indignation: "That big villa was full of young women who were tortured to death. They were hung from the ceiling, in the bathtub, and on the bed.
Specimens!!! I can see the horrifying pain of each woman before she died - these women were tortured to death!"
"Qiang!" Geralt couldn't help but draw out his sword and stab the sack directly. "What's the use of keeping such a pervert? Let's just kill him with one sword!"
But Xie Yuan clamped his fingers and held the sword with a clang: "Hey, don't be too easy on him. So many girls from good families and young sex workers have died tragically in his hands. Just
He died like this, so sorry for those who were killed by him."
"Moreover," Xie Yuan pointed to the box he had just given to Geralt, "for this thing, one of your friends, Dandelion, seems to have been folded in. He was controlled by the temple guards and is locked up somewhere."
"What?!" Geralt's eyes widened in shock, "Dandelion?! Oh! What did he do in there again?!"
"We won't know this until we go to Novilia. Hawthorne II actually doesn't know much. He is just a violent second generation ancestor controlled by Radovid. He is an agent from the beginning to the end."
Xie Yuan looked at the sack on the horse and said quietly: "As for why I went to Kayla's residence first, it's because I found two young female prisoners in the prison. But unlike ordinary criminal gangsters, they have
She has the temperament of a scholar, and I suspect she is a sorceress."
"You didn't talk to them?" Geralt raised his eyebrows, "Or are they unable to talk?"
"I didn't talk to them at all. In order to save time and facilitate management, I anesthetized them and then stored them in a separate space using special means."
Geralt suddenly understood something: "So, you are looking for Keira just to confirm whether the two female prisoners with the temperament of female scholars you found are sorceresses? So what if they are? So what if they are not?"
Xie Yuan's answer was also very realistic: "If so, it would be equivalent to the two sorceresses owing me a huge favor. Then I would have a magic consultant or a good network in the short time I am in this world.
.”
"Even if not, I am sure that these two guys are not ordinary people. Their close interpersonal relationships can always give me some reward, not to mention that one is seriously injured and the other is barely alive."
Xie Yuan pursed his lips when he recalled the tragic situation: "I don't think two scholars with temperament can be evil demons with heinous crimes, and a woman cannot bear such a huge insult."
"Damn it!" Geralt could only complain about the sinister world of people at this time.
After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at the sorceress Keira's cabin in the evening. At this time, her cabin was emitting a ghostly green light.
Seeing Xie Yuan and Geralt coming together, Keira was both surprised and happy: "Geralt of Rivia, long time no see, Yuan, why did you two suddenly think of coming to my cabin when you have time?
.”
"Didn't you invite me?" Xie Yuan tilted his head.
"That's true, but I was surprised that the two of you came here together." Keira nodded and admitted, but she still looked surprised, "You are not looking for Shirley anymore? Or has she been found? Why haven't you seen it yet?
To her?"
"No, we haven't found Ciri yet, but I just blew up the prison in Oxburg..."
"What did you do?!" Keira suddenly shouted in horror.
"I just blew up the prison in Oxburg." Xie Yuan repeated again.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Keira immediately pushed the two of them and tried to push them out of the hut. "I'm sorry I can't receive you. I don't want to be targeted by the witch hunters... I'll see you next time. I think I have to run away too." Already."
"Keira," Xie Yuan directly held her little hand, "I killed 60% of the witch hunter's force in this battle. It cannot be recovered in a short time no matter what. You don't have to worry about this."
"Why am I not worried!!!" Keira was hysterical with some fear, "Is Radovid the kind of person who suffers losses without saying a word? Do you think you killed so many of them...how many did you kill?"
Keira suddenly became interested.
"Uh... one-third of the city defense force and most of the witch hunter team," Xie Yuan considered and calculated. "Except for one team that survived being seriously injured by me, there is no team available in Oxburg." Witch hunter."
"Huh...that's good." Keira relaxed a little and sat blankly on the chair, "At least the witch hunters from Novilia must patrol Oxburg for a while to appease people, even if they come to support. …”
After saying that, Keira glared at Xie Yuan with an annoyed look: "But next, I'm afraid there will be a larger-scale witch hunting campaign!!! You ruined all my recent plans!"
Xie Yuan heard the words and looked at the magic lamp that was lit and emitting green light, then looked at the angry Keira, and hesitantly confirmed: "What bargaining chip do you want to use to negotiate with Radovid in person? In exchange for your personal life safety?”
"Yuan, you are thinking too wildly," Geralt spoke up before Keira could say anything. He subconsciously didn't believe Xie Yuan's outrageous remarks, "Everyone knows that Radovid has a heart of stone. How could anyone believe that he would spare the life of a sorceress?!"
Then he saw Keira's face, which looked panicked and overwhelmed by what was being said.
