Gaiden: The Agent of the Machine Country Chapter 13 of the Gaiden
What counts as part of a plan?
Is it a guard composed of four major families, and the guard of the camera obscura broke in at an important moment? But if so, this solid ice can freeze a large number of members in a matter of seconds,
"If you can do the act of freezing so many people to death in one go, can you be considered a pacifist?"
Even if you don't look at it, you can know that the ice that spreads from under the ideology is not deadly, but that is only [for the time being], the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the trapped beast is still fighting, even if it does not release fatal damage now, when it is driven into a dead end, it will still kill the bleeding path like crazy.
But now, it seems that it is Geralt's turn to become the [Trapped Beast] himself.
Taunting, vetoing, if others are to have the courage to confront the gods, then there must be a person who does not recognize the existence of the gods, a rebel who rejects all the gifts of the gods,
But now there is no one who spontaneously begins to rebel, and if this existence is really a peaceful ideology, then the residents of Chotham who are deeply affected by this ideology will only stand by and watch.
"Oh, how dare you despise humanity like a god on high and despise humanity when you're a remnant of the past? ”
Therefore, if you want to deny what the other party says, you have to deny the meaning of the other party's existence, and then try to retreat from here, even if you can use [which], it would be a pity to launch it in this case.
But no matter what trend of thought it is, it must die in the foreseeable future, whether it is militarism, peace, or ......
"Well, since you don't look at it, then I don't need to stay here, and when you really dare to look at me head-on, let you experience the feeling of [death], then, don't pass by, noble one. ”
Pretending to be brisk, he slowly retreated, and now all Geralt had to do was go to the city center, there would always be good people here to help deal with it, but just before leaving-
"I don't think you're going to be able to do that again, that kind of fatal blow. ”
First nervousness, then doubt, then ecstasy, in front of the owner of the Sword of the Godslayer, to be able to say such a thing as "can't be activated again" is no different from telling a cold joke,
But this also means that the other party has no idea about the true potential of this god-killing sword, even if it is the dregs of the past, not all currents of thought have participated in the [Millennium War] like the end of the world.
"Stay, I hope you don't mess around anymore, your little tricks that you think are protecting others are really ridiculous. ”
The dove of peace with strong resource fluctuations flew above Geralt's head, if it was a long-distance attack, then Gero would be equivalent to a helpless child, but if it was close to him, the situation would be completely reversed.
"Thought... Yes. ”
But planning can never be compared to change, the long sword made of sandworm scales combined was pulled from the ground by the skeleton named Sanqi, and the strong fluctuations in resources even interfered with the dove of peace,
"If you are not a human but want to hurt a human being, then you are no different from the monsters I have encountered before. ”
"Heh... Things are getting interesting, so I'm sorry for you, Asura. ”
There's no need to reveal your cards at this point, since the belligerent Asura wants to attack the institution for its own will, then Geralt can take advantage of this time to leave, after all, there is more than one threat to the institution, and it is the right choice to restore combat power first.
"But with such a body, I guess I can't return to a normal fighting state in a short period of time. ”
There was a wound on his flank, which had penetrated deep into his internal organs, and if he had not been supported by a large dose of morphine, it was estimated that Geralt would have fainted from pain when facing the thought current, but even with the use of anesthetics, the effect seemed to be about to be exhausted.
"But so are you, I've kept you waiting, butler. ”
In the center of the city, there was no one waiting for Geralt except for the one-armed butler,
But it's also thought that the effect of hypnosis has been damaged by the gods to the extent that it can't be repaired no matter what, and ordinary citizens will try their best to run to take refuge after waking up from hypnosis, right?
"Looks like this city-wide hypnosis is over, and thank you for that, Mr. Zero. ”
"Verbally thankful, it turned out that he was not holding a sword and preparing to take my life. ”
But the two sides are just verbally testing each other, whether it is Geralt or the butler, they are in a disadvantageous state, but Geralt still has hole cards in his hand.
But the butler also had a hole card in his hand that could turn the situation around, otherwise, he would not be standing in front of Geralt single-handedly like this.
"I'd love to kill you here, but alas, my country wants me to get more information here so that we can survive. ”
"But it doesn't seem to be for [Yukawa], otherwise, which militaristic trend of thought should be attached to you... Hey, no, three-faced, or four-sided?"
There was no answer, but the attack came as soon as the words fell, followed by the sound of golden light and silver blades intertwining,
Even if it can only be wielded with one hand, the silver scythe can still exert its power, and even if it has lost its edge, the golden sword can still easily take the life of others.
But once the offensive is launched, it must not be stopped without authorization, and the wordless two are fighting with all their might, even if every move is full of flaws because of exhaustion, but the strong killing intent has never been reduced in the slightest,
"Got it!"
With the sparks generated by the intersection of weapons, the butler's feet suddenly exerted force, not caring at all about the wound that had already cracked, nor caring about the golden long sword that was about to be inserted into the abdomen, just simply, wanting to use this silver scythe to cut off Geralt's head in the next moment!
"Remnants, there's no chance. ”
But just as Geralt complained, before the silver blade touched his neck, the butler's life was on the verge of ending.
The pale blue beam destroyed the butler's legs in an instant, and the scythe was shattered by the silver projectile, but the attack did not come from Geralt, but from the girl a little farther away.
"It's so slow, β, even if you want to play a heroic drama, it's still too slow. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, after all, I want to collect information about the battle between [Zhiyang] and [Porcelain Sword] in this city, just spare me for the time being, Brother Gero~"
What counts as part of a plan?
Was it a deliberate attempt to expose the thought of wanting to hurt others, and then causing the skeleton named Sanqi to attack?
Or use the power of the camera obscendo and the guards to rescue the real Christina from the basement of a tall building in order to sell a favor again?
Or maybe the eldest young master of the Kuyimu family led reinforcements into the town during daylight and destroyed the spies before they could unleash their cards?
Unfortunately, all of this is just a precursor to the plan.
"Speaking of which, when the time comes, how about leaving this city to me for the time being?"
"Please, then, β, but I have a few things to do until then. ”
The real plan has only just begun today.
