Chapter 793: Reminiscing about the past, making plans, and enjoying the performance
"Are you kidding me?" Geralt said in disbelief.
Millions of people were killed or injured in half a year?!
Which country has the ability to kill and injure so many people?
Margarita and Zoltan also remained silent, but the expressions on their faces were also suspicious.
But Xie Yuan did not intend to answer directly: "Just like the deaths and injuries mixed with magic can become countless, the weapons we create are more lethal. If you don't fight, it will kill at least tens of thousands of people."
Casualties - so we won't have wars for years, but once we fight, it's impossible to stop without breaking our muscles and bones."
Then, before Margarita or anyone else could say anything, Xie Yuan himself ended the topic: "Well, there is no need to worry about my past so much. It's all over. Now we have to solve the trace problem quickly, and
The first task is to find the key people!”
For this reason, everyone had no choice but to let this topic go for now, so Zoltan and Geralt clapped each other's hands cordially, "Then we can greet each other well now, man! Long time no see!"
"Zoltan!" Geralt was also very happy, "You look very good."
"I've been doing a lot of "fitting out" recently." Zoltan hugged his chest proudly, "It's all because of the war, so I can't get Mahakam secret wine, but Redania beer is still good."
The implication is that this old boy often spends his time fighting in bars these days.
However, it seemed that Zoltan was attentive and rare among dwarves. He looked at his old friend whom he had not seen for a long time and asked, "You look a little depressed. Is there anything on your mind?"
"It's about Ciri." It seemed that Zoltan was also someone who had been in contact with Ciri since she was a child, so Geralt didn't hesitate at all, "I know she has been to Novigrad. Although she is no longer here, but
She contacted Dandelion here before she disappeared here."
As expected, Zoltan showed a surprised look: "You mean Xili is back? I can't believe that I don't know if I can still recognize her. How many years has it been? Six years or seven years?"
Speaking of this, Zoltan shrugged with some confusion: "But what is she doing here?"
"On the one hand, she is hiding from people, and she seems to be in danger," Geralt told the dwarf. "On the other hand, one of her friends seems to be cursed, and now she is looking for someone to find a mage to repair the items."
"Do you dream about her?" Zoltan suddenly asked a question that made Xie Yuan raise his eyebrows.
"A few times." Geralt replied in the affirmative, "I dreamed about her and the Wild Hunt."
The connection between your destiny is so tight?
Zoltan also looked worried when he heard this answer: "Oh, it's not good."
"It is indeed very bad, but I know she has been here, and she has also been looking for Dandelion." Geralt got straight to the point.
"It seems we have encountered a little trouble." Zoltan looked a little embarrassed.
"No, it's a big trouble." Geralt also kept his mouth shut, telling the dwarf the information he had learned along the way, "The broker that Ciri and Dandelion found who could contact the mage turned out to be Hawthorne, one of the four giants.
II—and the reward is to trouble Sigiluven... and steal his things."
"Then they succeeded..." At this point, Geralt curled his lips helplessly.
"Oh... my God!" Zoltan couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead when he heard this, "I didn't expect it to be Hawthorne II - whoever you are looking for is not good enough to find him... he must have not kept his promise!"
"No, this matter seems a bit complicated. The treasure did not seem to reach the hands of Hawthorne II in the end, so he became angry and directly captured Dudu and Dandelion and tortured them, preparing to lure Ciri out."
Geralt also had a complicated expression when he said this: "Ciri rescued Dandelion, and then the two of them ran to rescue Dudu, and finally got into trouble with Hawthorne II... The good news is, Dudu escaped.
Yes, Hawthorne II did not harm them; but the bad news is that for unknown reasons, Ciri left Novigrad, Dudu's whereabouts are unknown, and Dandelion's life and death are unknown now -
—Even the information about the treasure is clueless.”
"Oh...oh...oh! Dandelion, you trouble-ridden bastard! Arrogant braggart!" Zoltan angrily circled around, "You really...you really want to give yourself to
Get killed!"
"But..." Zoltan suddenly raised his head and looked at Geralt with confusion on his face, "How do you know so clearly? Is this information you could know on the first day you entered this city?...
This is so amazing, even I didn’t know it.”
Geralt did not answer directly, but looked at Xie Yuan.
So Zoltan also looked at Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan spread his hands indifferently: "That's because when I was handling affairs in Oxburg, I found Hawthorne II and controlled him - through his
The memory naturally knew the intersection between him and Ciri, and we even got back the magic tools that he had not returned to Ciri."
"What -" Zoltan suddenly opened his eyes like a cow and looked at Xie Yuan in disbelief, but did not receive a definite reply.
Then he looked at Geralt, and Geralt nodded: "Hawthorne II has secretly surrendered to Radovid V, who arranged a big mansion for Hawthorne II in Oxburg for him to enjoy himself.
villa."
"Pike of the Pontar River! One of the four giants is actually controlled by that Radovid!" Zoltan looked a little unbelievable, "Can Novigrad still hold on?!"
"Don't worry, the planning process for Radovid V hasn't started yet, and there are still quite a lot of variables." Xie Yuan jumped off the bag and patted the dust on his hands, "Our next plan is very simple. Chapter 1
First, we need to contact Sigiluven and set up a line to help him investigate the treasure: not only to use the name of investigation to help Dandelion remove evidence, but also to investigate Dandelion's subsequent whereabouts.
Secondly, after we complete the contact with Sigiluwen, we have to put the conflict on Manji's head and find a way to make it an ironclad case - this means that the entire temple guard is best to evaporate into the world.
You can't see people alive, but you can't see dead bodies... I can do this, but it will take a lot of effort - it can't have anything to do with the heavy fog in Oxburg.
Third, we need to find Dudu, or if you have other shapeshifters we can contact, etc... It's a pity that the guy who once played Chapera is probably scared out of his wits, otherwise we could have brought him over to play the enemy.
An addiction to misbehavior.”
Xie Yuan finished talking about the plan, and then looked at the three people looking at him with wide eyes.
"Brother...where are you from?" Zoltan looked at Xie Yuan with a very cautious look this time.
A dwarf with super high assassination skills... Forgive Zoltan, a dwarf who can't quite figure out what this short knife slashing skill is called, and he will frame and frame him at will as a catchphrase, and come up with some incredible but feasible plans.
Guy - who is this? Why does he look like an assassin leader?
"Oh, me, I used to be a general of the Imperial Palace." Xie Yuan directly used the virtual resume that was discussed along the way. "For a while, I served as Ciri's swordsmanship and fighting coach."
Zoltan immediately looked at Geralt, and Geralt blinked to confirm that Xie Yuan was not lying... Zoltan didn't need to know so complicated anyway.
"Then, since you are Xili's friend, you are also my friend," Zoltan then walked over and shook hands with Xie Yuan, "I am Zoltan."
"Thank you, Yuan." Xie Yuan responded politely and pointed at Margarita, "This is the warlock Margarita. Zoltan, can we settle here temporarily?"
"A sorceress?! Oh, of course it's no problem. Since Dandelion isn't here, I can make the decision for him."
Zoltan answered very generously, but soon he frowned, "Margarita...Margarita...are you Margarita Laux-Antille?!"
Suddenly, Zoltan stared at the graceful sorceress in front of him with wide eyes, while Margarita nodded indifferently.
"But... why?!" Zoltan was puzzled, why would such a dean of a sorceress academy suddenly appear here?
But Xie Yuan quickly interrupted the conversation: "Zoltan, Ms. Margarita has basically never rested on a proper bed since she was released from the prison in Oxburg... If you have any questions, please ask later.
Could you please give me a reference, which room has a better bed?”
"Oh oh oh!" Zoltan reacted immediately, and then walked to the stairs, "Come on, let's go up and have a look. I hope those homeless people don't mess up all my rooms."
Xie Yuan and Margarita looked at each other, then he picked up his luggage, looked at Geralt and said hello, and then he took the luggage upstairs, with Margarita following closely behind.
The good news is that homeless people only trashed a few rooms. The bad news is that all the rooms have been unused for a long time and have many problems.
After Margarita experienced the catastrophe, she actually had no requirements for the accommodation environment. However, out of concern for female comrades, Xie Yuan still started to tidy up: cleaning, changing, sterilizing, making beds... a series of processes were completed.
, the whole apartment is almost like a short-term rental house that has not been moved in yet.
Even Margarita was so surprised that she even slowly pushed Xie Yuan out and closed the door of the room - because she was getting ready to have a good sleep.
When I went downstairs, I saw Geralt and Zoltan who were sorting out the account books and sundries. When they saw Xie Yuan coming down, they both showed a look that made every man understand.
"Brother, you are too considerate." Zoltan's face was filled with emotion, "Even the arrogant sorceress dean may not be able to withstand the power of a strong and warm man like you."
"Fuck you!" Xie Yuan scolded with a smile, "I can't be called a warm man... Alas, you don't know the condition of Margarita when I found her in the Delmer Prison in Oxburgh.
Except for what could be seen on his face, his whole body had been tortured to the point of leaving no good skin, and his body was covered in bruises and bloody scabs. The other side also had almost no human appearance.
Not to mention that as a dean, there is nothing more heart-wrenching than watching students being dragged out and executed one by one - so let her go, it will be great if she can sleep without nightmares today."
"Oh...that's it..." Hearing this, Zoltan also had sympathy on his face, "I'm sorry, I...I didn't know she had endured so much."
"It's okay." Anyway, Xie Yuan is listening here.
However, after looking at the sky outside, Xie Yuan looked at Zoltan and Geralt: "Today you are meeting old friends, do you want to go out to catch the wind and wash away the dust? For example, go to the Kingfisher Hotel for a drink, or which hotel has a big sword or something?
of?"
"Ahem!" Geralt immediately cleared his throat as a warning.
But Zoltan heard the suggestion, touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly hit his hand with his fist: "Oh, why did I forget this person! Geralt, you have to come to the Kingfisher Hotel with me tonight.
There is a woman who is even more talented than Dandelion and misses Dandelion very much! Now that Dandelion is in trouble, we can also ask her for advice."
"Wait!" Geralt stretched out his hand, "What?! There is a woman who misses Dandelion, and she is even more talented than him... Are you sure she won't be jealous because of her peers?"
"That won't happen." Zoltan shook his head, "This woman is Pucilla, she is a bard, imagine a big-breasted Dandelion, and you will understand."
"So, Dandelion gave birth to this lady's beauty?" Xie Yuan asked aloud.
"That's not true." Zoltan shook his head, "He even fell in love for her."
The prodigal son falls back in love? Such a cliche storyline.
"What can I say?" Geralt was also shocked, "He may have really found his destiny."
"She is his destined daughter," the dwarf's desire for gossip exploded when he mentioned Dandelion's personal affairs. "Maybe it's more than that. That guy's head is burning. The girl has made him dizzy."
So, since I wanted to visit her, I had to go and see her perform - after all, she now works with a pantomime troupe, "Reynard and the Faxon Family", and she must be playing at the Kingfisher Hotel every night.
Xie Yuan had to watch the door and take care of Margarita, but he also asked Geralt to bring the invisible holographic lens when he arrived - just watch it as a real-time TV broadcast. Xie Yuan also wanted to know about the local people.
