In the cutscene CG of the "original plot", one thing that can be determined is that when Geralt Dahl first arrived at the ruins of Shanhu Village that had been razed to the ground, he did see a boy who was still alive, and from the video
Judging from the way it is expressed, it should be the last living eloquent talent in the village...
However, this orphan's "drama" only ends here~
Liu Yifei was actually not sure what the fate of the child he had glimpsed would be. After all, since Geralt Dahl turned around and chased the dragon beast, it stands to reason that the child should have been left in the ruins of the village.
Is it possible that in such a high-intensity pursuit mission, Geralt can still take a young child with him?
Just bring it...
Later, Geralt died directly in the ruins of the valley, without even having time to spread the news, so that Morgan Kendall, a dignified marshal of a country, couldn't even find his "godson" for more than ten years.
I just thought the other party was "missing"...
Thinking about it, the child's fate is somewhat pessimistic...
But that was just something that might have happened "in history". When it came to Liu Yifei's mouth, it was a completely different "story" -
He suddenly transformed into the disaster orphan who had long "forgotten" his old name. He just silently inherited the surname from the lower-class Orion family, Jiao Gong... and even this has become the current view of some people in Standwick City.
People who disliked Geralt privately laughed at the "irrefutable evidence" of his humble origins.
At that time, the "young him" was taken away from the ruins of Shanhu Village by the real Geralt Dahl, and then he really "together" embarked on a "journey of revenge" to hunt down dragon beasts!!
As an "eyewitness" of that mission, Liu Yifei naturally knows how ridiculous this story sounds. Such an outrageous combat difficulty, and having to bring an obstructive child...
But the problem is that except him, no one in the world can verify the truth of everything he said~
As for the actual strength of the "dragon beast" in question, isn't it just Liu Yifei's empty talk and white teeth?
Of course, how thrilling and exciting it is to tell it, not to mention that this "story" has actually been "prepared" by Liu Yifei for a long time...
A young orphan and an upright and brave "knight" embark on a journey of hunting and revenge... This sounds like a mainstream knight novel, why shouldn't people believe it?
At least it can comfort an "old father" in his grief after losing his child, right?
So in Liu Yifei's narration, the old man seemed to have walked through that period of "history" all over again, and even looked like a bystander at how the two people, one large and one small, lived in the open air in the mountains and fields, and he
How did the excellent "godson" provide the most basic training for a small boy who was determined to take revenge, and even specially crafted a small wooden sword for him (?)...
Therefore, the details here perfectly match up with Liu Yifei’s claim that “someone had trained him a little before” when recruiting militiamen in his hometown. From the beginning, Liu Yifei had been creating these little “clues” step by step.
As a looming clue to his "perfect identity"!
And this seems to better explain why his "foundation" is so good - he received an education from an outstanding knight with outstanding talent at a young age, and the other person's unique childhood experience may indeed
Inspire the other party's firm belief in pursuing powerful power and putting it into action...
In short, through a series of warm and touching stories, Liu Yifei not only gave the old man a strong sense of the existence of his late "godson", but also gave the most perfect explanation for the secret of his "originality" -
-Yes, I am the orphan from the mountain village who was rescued by the other party and finally inherited his aspirations and even his name!!
The reason why Liu Yifei "boldly" asked to see the Marshal today was because before the final hunting operation began, Lord Geralt Dahl seemed to have foreseen his own death, so he met with the young man who was still a little man at the time.
"Geralt" said something about his own life experience, part of which was about Geralt Dahl's godfather, who was also his last relative in the world at that time...
Later, when Geralt Dahl died, "little Geralt" who had "inherited" the name finally walked back to the ruins of Shanhu Village with luck and perseverance, and finally waited for rescue from a passing caravan.
Only then can we finally escape...
In the past ten years or so, Liu Yifei said that he "didn't think about coming to the Marshal to report the news about Geralt Dahl."
However, no one would believe such a bizarre and legendary "story" when told from the mouth of a penniless ordinary mountain village boy. Even more people would only think that this kid was making it up~ He is older.
There is a chance that the Marshal will be "disappeared" inexplicably if he can't even find his shadow...
It was also in order to fulfill the last wish of his former "benefactor" that Liu Yifei confessed that he had joined the army all the way, and he may not have wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the senior military officials, or even directly find the marshal to report the news.
However, as he stayed in the military system for longer, Liu Yifei admitted that he understood more clearly that even within the military headquarters, the Marshal was not someone who could be seen by anyone who wanted to see him. Therefore, Liu Yifei did not dare to think as boldly as he did when he was a child.
I did it, but I have been hesitating, trying to find a more suitable opportunity or something, so I have put it off until now...
"...In fact, if this 'hunting patrol' hadn't been too difficult and there was a good chance that I would never return, I wouldn't be so bold as to directly ask the Chief Instructor to see you..."
What I was thinking was that I narrowly escaped death this time, so why couldn’t I fight for my former great benefactor?
Fortunately, the final result is good, and I finally bring you Lord Geralt’s ‘news’~
In this way, I will..."
Liu Yifei originally wanted to take advantage of the trend and make a "retreat in order to advance" - of course, this could only be disguised.
After all, he had been planning for a long time, just to be able to build a solid foundation of friendship with the other party today? When Liu Yifei thought about it, even if he was just a "messenger", the old marshal should have done something "solid"
You gave him a gift to express your gratitude, right?
not to mention……
We all still had a little "master-disciple relationship" back then, right?
At this time, the excitement in Liu Yifei's heart was almost beyond words. He even wanted to pull Elena over and kiss her twice - this female instructor was so good at doing things~
"Hey, wait a minute..."
Sure enough, just as Liu Yifei expected, the old man who was supposed to be so excited and even lost his temper on the spot softly called him out before Liu Yifei could say goodbye... But then Ken Dahl didn't rush to give Liu Yifei a favor.
What kind of mission reward should I give? Instead, I started to ask, intentionally or unintentionally, about various details in Liu Yifei's long series of "stories"——
Including but not limited to the specific location of Shanhu Village, the names of Geralt Jiaogong's parents, the original location of his home in the village, the details of Geralt Dahl's appearance, some obvious movement habits... and even
Liu Yifei took the trouble to ask Liu Yifei repeatedly about some details about the appearance of that damn "dragon beast", the general location of Geralt Dahl when he was finally killed in battle, etc...
obviously!
This is the old marshal interrogating Liu Yifei like a liar~
But for this situation, Liu Yifei had already prepared a plan - after all, how could an NPC boss with the level and authority of Marshal Morgan Kendall easily believe something just based on a few words from a "passerby"?
What about the other party?
Even if he once taught this "passerby" some skills...
Repeated inquiries and comparisons of specific details like this are just the initial means. I believe that soon, a more detailed investigation of the identity of "Geralt Hornbow" will be launched for the nth time.
And all this was done to prevent the other party from being instigated by others to bring this information to the old marshal to talk nonsense, in order to achieve his ulterior purpose...
In short, Liu Yifei had anticipated all of this, so he knew all the questions and answers by heart.
Except for a little bit of nervousness during the process, Liu Yifei's handling was simply not perfect~
Until this moment, the old man seemed to have generally believed Liu Yifei's words. He immediately lowered his head and covered his eyebrows with his right hand... But judging from the old man's slightly trembling shoulders, Liu Yifei could think of the silent "
What kind of endless sadness is hidden under the "silence"...
After the "core pillar of the kingdom" slightly controlled his emotions, he seemed to remember that it was the young man in front of him who "had just received huge unfair treatment from the kingdom's military personnel" who had brought him such important news, so he immediately
He wiped his face and said to Liu Yifei:
"First of all, I want to express my deep gratitude to you~ The news you brought me is more important to me than anything else!
And since you are Xiaoji’s last ‘successor’, and the one who bids farewell, you have inherited his name, courage, and integrity...then we have some sort of fate between us~
Now, little Geralt, tell me, is there anything you need me, an old man who has not yet been buried, to do for you?
If you encounter any troubles in Erathia that are difficult to solve, then please believe me, this ‘retired meritorious veteran’ in front of you can still fight for something for you!!”
The old man's words were concise and powerful. At the same time, Liu Yifei had no doubt whether the other party was just boasting.
It can be said that as long as Liu Yifei's request does not involve the fundamental issue of principle of "rebellion (prevention)", there are really not many things in Erathia that this seemingly ordinary old man in front of him cannot handle...
