"No." The druid wearing a sealskin coat said firmly.
"Calanthe has changed her mind. Ciri will no longer fulfill her engagement with Prince Christine. She has her own plans. In addition, because King Aiweier sent soldiers to intercept the caravan on the road , the reason for blaming the tree spirit, I no longer have any trust in his character, and Calanthe also values my judgment."
"We will not even be in Nastro. If you want to stay, I will take the little guy back to Cintra. Come with us, Geralt.”
In the darkening night, several people did not arrive after all. In one village, only a bonfire could be lit on the roadside.
Three demon hunters and a sturdy druid sat around the fire, talking in low voices.
Xili was wrapped in a thick fur and fell asleep next to the fire.
Mossack and Geralt were discussing things about Cintra and Ciri.
While Lan En and Vesemir were exchanging various techniques of witchers, they paid half of their attention to the conversation next to them.
After Vesemir learned that Ciri was Geralt's unexpected son, he naturally began to regard this little girl as a descendant.
And Ciri is indeed quite likable.
"So I said that the witcher should also have some long-distance coping methods. The sigil can be regarded as a mid-range at best. People who draw bows and arrows from a distance have no way to deal with Geralt. There was a little pressure, but I killed the two leaders and they ran away immediately."
The young man was selling his theory of hand length advantage to the old demon hunter.
Vesemir is not the kind of stubborn person who refuses to change. He nodded frequently while listening to express his approval.
"Hey." The old demon hunter suddenly sighed with emotion.
“Times are changing so fast now. In my era, although people lived a hard life, people are people and monsters are monsters. There is no need for a demon hunter to predict what will happen if he encounters a crossbowman. How to deal with this kind of problem? A hundred years have passed, but now it is very different."
Vesemir's body is far from old, but his spirit is like an ordinary old man. In that way, a strong time filter began to appear.
Anyway, Lan En didn’t believe that in the more difficult times in the past, there would be no bandit Roadhog.
At most, these people at that time had no way to get military equipment, and if they got it, they probably didn't know how to use or maintain it.
So much so that the old demon hunter didn't even leave a deep impression when he solved them.
"This time I went to Brugg to collect the bounty, and I bought a hand crossbow to carry on my back. You are right, Lan En. People have to adapt to the times."
Finished After that, Vesemir glanced at the young man with a strange expression and muttered a few more words.
"Just use the crossbow. Not many people can use the release frequency and accuracy of your set of seals. Did your Bear School integrate the formula of the Griffin School?"
After Lann dismantled the launching device on his left arm, Vesemir kept touching his chin with a complicated expression.
The frequency of seal release can be said to be good. Before the Demon Hunters were divided into factions and operated as the Demon Hunter Order, he had a good relationship with many future Griffin Schools.
Those witchers will add mutation inducers that enhance their spellcasting abilities into the recipes of Trial of Grass.
For example, the mutation inducer of Deer Head Spirit, or the ordinary blue mutation inducer that has a higher probability of appearing.
Those people can also cast the seals continuously for a period of time after drinking the magic potion that increases vitality recovery.
But few mages have tried this idea of condensing Alder’s impact into the base of a metal pipe
In situations where energy is limited Nowadays, most young spellcasters will pursue bigger and stronger magic, and few will delve into control.
The two demon hunters were talking about the combination of far, medium and close combat systems, while the conversation between the druids on the other side seemed to be unpleasant.
"This is already the third time, Geralt, your fate has crossed three times. Do you want to tell me that this is a coincidence? In this vast land, among these many creatures. Identity Two people who are very different and live in different areas have met three times because of so-called coincidences."
"How many orphans in the world can't even see their parents for a second time in this life? And now you Tell me, your meeting with Ciri was all a coincidence."
The stalwart druid pressed his voice and sarcastically looked very oppressive.
Lan felt that if Ciri hadn't been sleeping beside him, Mossack would have started roaring right now.
"So what if it's not a coincidence?" Geralt seemed not to feel the pressure at all, his face was expressionless and he was still fiddling with the fire.
“I made Shirley’s parents swear an oath to ask them to reward me according to the law of accident. Yes, the reward appeared and I was sleeping next to us at this time, but as the person receiving the reward, I am qualified. If you refuse to accept it, let me tell you the truth. At this moment, I just want to be a demon hunter who helps others. I don’t want the promised reward, just like the Ike Knight of Denesler, I can exorcise demons for free. No problem."
"It's no problem," Druid said. "You have the right to refuse the reward, but I must emphasize that this behavior is accompanied by risks. As the old saying goes, the sword of destiny. "
"There are two blades." Geralt finished for him. "Damn it, I keep hearing this sentence these past two days."
"Always hear it. Then you should listen to the old saying that it makes sense," Mossak choked.
“I don’t want little Xili to be homeless and have her little hands covered with calluses for holding swords. I don’t want Calanthe to scold me or even scold me to kill me. But I don’t want to see Calanthe and Ciri in danger.”
“I’m not like you, Geralt. I believe in fate.thing, and after you asked fate for reward, you rejected it three times in a row as if humiliating. Do you think the sword of fate is just a piece of wood coated with gold foil? When it falls, something will happen and someone will die."< /p>
"You should know how many curses you have solved. Fighting against that kind of power will only make the situation worse. The power of fate is greater than curse, how come you, an expert, have turned into a fool?"
Mossack and Geralt are also old acquaintances, and he always has something to say when he ridicules Geralt. I hate that he didn’t shed tears even after seeing the coffin.
“I know that you don’t want Ciri to live the life of a demon hunter with you. You have been a demon hunter since you were a child, and you have suffered discrimination and targeting. And danger and death. You think entrusting a princess to a witcher is a bad idea that even a ghoul wouldn't come up with. But”
Mossack looked at Geralt’s profile sincerely.
“Just take her away to save her, to save her grandmother. Geralt"
