Chapter 788: Watching and Looking for the Rotten Forest
"You—" Geralt was so shocked that he wanted to shout out, but knowing the seriousness, he immediately lowered his voice, "How did you do it?"
"It's very simple." Xie Yuan grinned, "Seeing is deceiving."
"Then...those corpses..." Margarita also felt incredible.
"Those are all genuine things." Xie Yuan didn't hide it, "I just let them bury them in peace."
As for the origin of the corpse, Xie Yuan didn't say much, and he really didn't want to be asked.
So in order to change the topic, Xie Yuan quickly urged: "Is there a place to put them? Hurry up, I won't be tired carrying it, but once they wake up, they will be exposed."
"Then let's go to Triss's house first." Geralt thought for a while and asked.
Xie Yuan had no objection to this, but after a second thought, he still made a suggestion: "You go first. If the temple guards don't look for you after ten minutes, I will bring Margarita in with me."
"Do you think the temple guards are aware of our actions?" Geralt frowned upon hearing this. This situation of being monitored made him very uncomfortable.
But unexpectedly, Xie Yuan was not sure: "I don't know, I can't confirm it yet."
Looking at Geralt who was stunned for a while, Xie Yuan explained: "But if the armed department of a city doesn't even know that a slightly famous outsider has entered the local area... then I can basically determine that this person is called Manji.
The person was put to death - because it was a sign of incompetence."
"But it is obvious that a person who dares to overcome his superiors and succeeds can be an immoral person, but he is definitely not a fool, so brace yourself and face it." Margarita concluded.
"If he asks about you," Geralt looked at Xie Yuan, "how should I answer?"
"Let's just say I went to Ambassador Yazhuo's house." Xie Yuan replied calmly, "It's his business whether he saw me or not, but wherever I, a Nilfgaardian knight, want to go... I probably won't be able to get a temple yet.
Shall the leader of the guard say something?"
Geralt raised his eyebrows: "That's true, especially now that there is no guarantee whether Novigrad can be defended or not, the people of Nilfgaard cannot tamper with it - I see, no wonder you accepted Emhyr
title."
As he spoke, he curled his lips: "It's just a little lower..."
"It's enough to have an organization. The rest I can protect myself with my own force." Xie Yuan waved his hands indifferently, "My force is enough to ensure that the local nobles can talk to me calmly... I
I just need a title so that I can talk to them calmly."
This was the first time Geralt heard this statement, and he was immediately amused, but he quickly returned to normal... After all, if he thought about it carefully, his behavior over the years seemed to coincide with the truth of this statement.
"Go quickly." Xie Yuan urged, "Otherwise if you continue talking, the person on your back will wake up."
Geralt also agreed with this, so he nodded towards Margarita, then turned around and walked towards Triss's big villa.
Looking at Geralt's back, and then at Manji, who was making an impassioned speech to the residents surrounding the burning stake in the Patriarch's Square, Xie Yuan nudged the direction of the bookstore with his chin, and said to Margarita
Suggestion: "Let's go there and wait. It's also a better place to see Manji's next move."
Naturally, the female dean had no objection, so the two of them walked through the crowd as if taking a walk, skipping the head of the temple guard who was giving a speech, and the temple guards, and just stood in front of the bookstore and watched the people who were making fun of them.
"I suddenly felt like this feeling of being hidden among the crowd." Margarita sighed, and at this time, a sense of melancholy appeared on her cheeks that had always been quiet and indifferent. "Looking at them, they used to be so envious.
Wizards and warlocks are afraid of their power, but they long for their abilities and immortality; looking at them persecuting us so fervently now... What is the meaning of the arrogance and independence of warlocks? Not everything starts from the top like a wheel.
Jump down."
"Hey, don't be too sad about spring and autumn," Xie Yuan patted Margarita's shoulder and comforted, "The world is not good now, but I think it will become calm in a limited time.
——Then it will be the time for you sorcerers to show off their skills again."
"Just like the sunset and the sunrise, fortune always has its ups and downs."
"Haha... Thank you for your comfort. In fact, I am not discouraged..." Margarita showed a polite smile, "It's just that my friends I know have encountered too many misfortunes recently, and so have I... But
Now that I am free and healthy, I can only feel grateful - grateful for the choice you made."
Xie Yuan didn't say anything, because he was suddenly stunned when he saw Margarita's smile.
Margarita Laux-Antille herself is a T0-level sorceress with both wisdom and beauty in the circle of sorcerers, and because of her easy-going personality, she has a perfect figure like a marble statue... Anyone who has seen her beauty
Everyone will be attracted by her intellectual temperament - this is why Xie Yuan felt a little boring when facing Keira Metz after he rescued Margarita.
You must know that at that time, the female dean was in a semi-disabled state.
Now he looked at the normalized headmistress again, looking at Margarita's stunning profile. The light and shadow flowed along the center of her eyebrows, across the bridge of her nose, and stayed under her lips, with a sophisticated look that was hard to resist.
charm.
This was the first time that Xie Yuan saw a woman who was more mature than himself. After traveling through the world many times, even though his memories were sealed, Xie Yuan's temperament was somewhat dull and mature - this was Xie Yuan's temperament.
Years of experience are accumulated, which is also required by society wherever you have been.
And the women I came into contact with, even if we count the aliens, were basically women of the same age or younger, mature women... and that was the matriarch Benicia - I suddenly wanted to meet her.
Precisely because society requires men to be mature and women to be immature, young men and mature women have extra contrasting charms.
Margarita's face turned red with embarrassment due to the intense gaze, and she turned her head slightly, both as a response and as a reminder.
Seeing the movements of the female dean next to him, Xie Yuan immediately woke up and turned to look at the square.
Seeing this, Xie Yuan reminded Margarita: "Look, someone is in Manji's ear, and now he has led people to Triss's residence... Sure enough, there are always people watching there."
Margarita took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. She suddenly frowned: "In that case, why do we go there as a temporary settlement? If even the slightest clue is leaked, we may be exposed."
"This is also the use of darkness under the lamp. In fact, no matter where we go, we are either under the surveillance of the local temple guards or the four local giants. We cannot avoid it."
Xie Yuan lightly shrugged the two people on his shoulders: "This is what I plan to do. If I am discovered by someone later in a special way, then I must use Manji's head to announce my arrival——
Otherwise, we will only be treated as soft persimmons by local local snakes.
But if the black light succeeds, then Novigrad will know that there is someone here who is trying to snatch people under Manji’s nose... This is also a good reputation."
He looked at Margarita apologetically: "I may have wronged you. If a dispute really breaks out, you'd better teleport to another place."
But Margarita's response was just one: "I will always be behind you."
Then he pointed in the direction of the gate of Triss' villa: "Look, Manji and the others came out, and they brought two people with them...not Geralt."
"They should be local gangsters." Xie Yuan, whose eyesight is much better than Margarita's, saw it clearly. "When I saw the great warlock here left, I wanted to come and make some money."
"Humph, you deserve it!" After hearing the true nature of the two arrested people, Margarita no longer worried, but instead became angry, "Now these houses and finances have been forcibly expropriated by the temple - move here
Any of the items he owns is nothing more than the wool from the temple...well, (Margarita shook her head) she deserves to be in the court of justice."
"Okay!" Xie Yuan reached out and grabbed the female dean, "Hurry over there. While Geralt is searching the room, we can still revive the person and ask about the current situation."
Margarita trembled, but she nodded blankly, held hands and was led away.
