Chapter 127: Ciri's Battle
Martin thinks he must be crazy, why would he make up a lie to deceive Bonnet, is it because the witchers let him go? No, he was a robber, how could a robber be soft-hearted and grateful. But from the bottom of his heart, Martin no longer wanted this bounty hunter to find the witcher.
"Hmph, I'm curious how you came back alive, witchers and magicians are never good people. They will only seduce you, use you, and squeeze the last bit of value out of you, and in the end you will only become a wild dog with no one to pity and expose yourself to the wilderness. I know what kind of people they are. Are you already luring them in?! ”
Bonnet suddenly erupted in a terrifying momentum, and Martin was almost frightened.
"No, sir! How could I have brought them here, how could I have done such a self-digging grave. Your Excellency, you have to believe me! ”
"Hehe, I hate traitors the most, so let me take your heart out and see if it's loyal."
……
Ciri has a lot of wounds on her body, which Yulia knows, so Yulia has taken care of her very much these days, but she didn't think to ask her more things.
Oran, on the other hand, did not give up, but did not say anything from her mouth, for every time this question was mentioned, Ciri's expression would fall to the cold and gloomy of the valley. Only Orlan could detect her subtle trembling.
Perhaps the person who made Ciri reluctant to name was her nightmare. At the bottom of everyone's heart, there will be a fear and fear in a hidden corner, which can be a person, an animal or a thing. This kind of thing tends to lurk in the deepest part of the wound of the soul, jumping out at the most critical moment to destroy all the courage of a person and crush the fighting spirit of the whole person.
Nightmares are the most difficult to defeat the other self, as if a person is exactly the same as himself in strength, agility, thinking, and even fighting style and behavior. Because it is exactly the same, there is almost no way for everyone to overcome it, and in the end, in tension and fear, they become the first to lose.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the nightmare, you can largely rely on external forces to break this deadlock, which is a convenient and effective way to win.
But as a lone witcher, Ciri was once in a state of solitary struggle, and if it weren't for the fact that she still had someone important in her heart, she might have fallen long ago. After all, it is not something that ordinary people can do to survive the torture of a witcher, killer, and madman, and survive and escape so far.
Ciri is undoubtedly an independent and powerful man, but also a poor man trapped in a nightmare. Maybe given her time, she will one day be able to come out of the shadows and even solve that nightmare with her own hands.
But there is no such time now, neither Oran nor Ciri.
So Orlan has already taken the two of them, following the traces of the robber Martin step by step, and he wants Ciri to face that guy now, failure? Then at least Orlan can save her life. It's just that Ciri is afraid that this life will stop here, and if he can't defeat the nightmare, let alone become a stronger person, the weakness of this world is the original sin, both Oran and Ciri know this.
As for Oran, will he have nightmares? Maybe the guy during the day will tell Ciri that there is nothing to be afraid of, such as the "deep sea" that he fears the most, which people there call "deep sea phobia". But so what, it's a big deal not to go to a place with a lot of water for the rest of your life. It's shameful to run away, but it's also useful!
But the guy at night doesn't know what it means to be afraid, since he was a child, he is the nightmare of all the prey in the woods, the nightmare of those who die under the sword.
……
"Going to take out his heart? You'll have to ask us. Orlan interrupted Bonnet, falling from the roof and slashing his head with his sword.
Bang! The blade of Orlan's Astra sword sank into the bluestone block of the ground. "Tsk, it's really a demon hunter killer, and the reaction is quite fast."
The self-proclaimed "hidden" level of the strongest Orlan sneak attack failed, thinking about it, it is probably because of the day, after all, the guy who does this kind of thing at night is the best at it.
But Orlan wasn't the only one Bonnet had to face, as Ciri broke through the door with three crossbows to block his retreat, and then the steel sword in his other hand climbed up like a poisonous snake.
But Bonnet didn't panic at this time, and after stabilizing his body, he calmly drew his sword and blocked, and Ciri's continuous sword blows were received without leaking, as if he knew in advance where Ciri would swing his next sword. It makes people think that they can block all of her attacks with their eyes almost closed.
"Hehehe, I'm disappointed in you. It turns out that you have left me, and you are even worse than before. Bonnet struck back with a masterful shot to pick off Ciri's sword, then kicked her out with a kick from the side. Then he spoke, and the words were like a hammer to Ciri's chest, more powerful than the kick.
It was clear that Ciri was hesitating at this point, and for a hunter, a witcher, or anyone else, the slightest hesitation in a fight could be fatal. It was as if the foreshadowing had been laid for her failure.
"Come on, old man. Compared to us 'young people', you just ate a few more years and killed a few more people, and even if you do, you only have so little capital to shout in front of the uncle. How about it, what kind of ability is it to bully a girl, there is a kind of trick with the uncle. ”
Orlan deliberately interrupted Bonnet's words, because if he and Ciri were left alone like this, then Ciri would definitely hang up in the next second. But it seems that this old man is addicted to abuse Xiri, and he won't kill her for the time being.
Then again, if it was Orlan at night, he might just slaughter this arrogant old man without saying a word, so why not consider Ciri's feelings. Maybe it's because Orlan is more emotional during the day, and since he decides to help people, let's help to the end.
"Hmph, boy, I've never seen a single arrogant witcher live to my age, because I killed them. Haha, I don't think you need to be in such a hurry to find death. Ciri, I'll slowly torture your newfound partner to death in front of you, don't worry, I'll just need you as a witcher, hahaha! ”
Bonnet has a pathological obsession with Ciri, I really don't know where Ciri's chick is so attractive to this old man, and even Yulia's mind has been on her these days, Orlan is not convinced.
"Hehe, what Uncle hates most in his life is a perverted old man like you who has no self-knowledge, eat my big sword!"
"Wow! Boy, give me my life! Bonnet was so angry by Orlan's senseless words that he had completely lost the "master" demeanor just now, and now he just wanted to cut off the boy's head with a sword.
