Chapter 549: Magic Blast: Old Knowledge
A village woman tells the player, "If you go down the road after the pond, you will soon come across a large rock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info went around the stone and left the road into the woods and went straight ahead. When you see an abandoned carriage, you know you're on the right track. ”
Tang Tu found a strange old man here, the old man sat under the big tree at the entrance of the village, smoking a pipe and asked Tang Tu: "You are not from Wei Lun, are you?" ”
Tang Tu: "Hmm. ”
Old man: "And where did you come from?" ”
Tang Tu thought of Rogette and said, "Our boss is Leah." ”
Old man: "Oh, it's so far away. ”
Tang Tu: "Old man, we are looking for a witch, do you know her?" ”
Old man: "Yes." She comes from far away like you. But she is willing to listen to others, and she is very considerate and helpful. Unlike before, the old witch never listened to people, and her heart was very bad. ”
Tang Tu: "Do you know where we should go to find her?" ”
Old man: "Go to the pond, there used to be wild swans swimming there." The path starts from the edge of the pond and follows the path until you see a large rock where the devil had fallen, and legend has it that a farmer once lied to the devil that it was a huge egg. Then head right into the woods and walk past a van that no one wants, and you'll find the witch's hut. ”
The witch's address was confirmed again, and Tang Tu got more details. Next, everyone rode to find the witch.
The witch was talking to a few villagers in front of the door.
Peasant Woman: "Ma'am... Our cows were panting, lying on the ground and unable to stand up, with pus running from their noses. ”
Witch: "Do I look like a milkmaid?" ”
Peasant Woman: "No, ma'am... But as you know, there's only one cow left in the village... The others either starved to death or were snatched by the soldiers. We wouldn't be able to live without it. ”
Witch: "Alright, I'll give you some herbs. Go and fetch some water from the spring at midnight, mix it with these herbs, and give it to the oxen to drink. But you have to clean your barn thoroughly first, right? ”
Peasant Woman: "Thank you, ma'am. Really appreciate you..."
Witch: "Alright, I'm tired today, let's go home." ”
The villagers left, and the witch went back to the house. Rogette leads the player into the witch's hut.
Rogert: "Is anyone home?" ”
No one answered. Everything in the house looked normal, but there was no sign of a witch. After searching the house for a while, they found an underground passage. But there are no witches in the underground passages either. All they found was a few witches' supplies.
Rogette: "These things are very uncommon in Weilun... This skull has a very strong aura, it must have some kind of artifact, or it is..."
Rogette unleashes a spell on the skull. A portal appeared next to it.
Rogette: "Oh, looks like she disappeared from here. Rogette led the players through the teleportation array. An ancient castle appeared in front of him.
The witch's voice said, "I was wondering how long it would take you to get here, Rogette." I'm upstairs, don't be shy. "It seems that the witch and Rogette are old acquaintances.
Rogette and the players go upstairs to meet the witch. The witch soaked in a large pool and looked like she was bathing, but her skin looked very strange in color, and her limbs were purple-black.
Witch: "Hello, Demon Hunter. You turn around first, and I'll be right away. ”
When Rogette heard this, he turned around, and the players did the same. The witch came out of the pool and got dressed in an instant.
The witch walked up to Rogert, who looked at her with her chest crossed.
"Kayla. Meizi actually came to Wei Lun... I thought you hated the countryside. ”
"Believe me, I especially hate the countryside right now."
"I heard that there was a witch here, but I never dreamed that it was a former advisor to Fortai."
"I'm glad there's still something in the world that amazes you. I envy you for keeping this heart, usually only kids, ranger riders, and idiots can keep marveling. ”
"Oh, you've become so grumpy, do you welcome old friends like this?"
"I'm sure I've welcomed you with beauty. Now tell me what wind brought you here. ”
"Any news from your sister at the assembly house?"
"Not at all. It's better not to know too much about each other these days, it's safer. ”
"Have you tried to connect with anyone else?"
"I've wanted to, and a million times... But I have no way of knowing who will respond... Or who is eavesdropping. ”
"So what are you doing here?"
"Let me think, enjoy the fresh air in the countryside? Enjoying unspoiled natural scenery? Or to promote the ancient friendship between urban and rural areas? Of course not... I'm hiding, Rogette. Don't you see the world right now? Don't you understand what the situation is now? ”
"You mean the persecution that the mages are facing?"
"That's right, that's what I mean. Radovid's new pastime is to arrest anyone with a hint of magic on him. Does the term witch hunter sound familiar? These murderers traveled all over the North, burning books, hanging prophets, torturing herbalists..."
"How did you choose Wei Lun to hide?"
"I didn't pick it. In the north, Radovid's men hunted down the sorceress like a turtle in an urn. To the south, Nilfgaard's territory is again. Where else can I escape? ”
"The emperor is indeed very strict with the mage, but at least he can save his life and continue to work."
"The only thing Ladovid and Nhil have in common is their hatred of the Sorceress's assembly. I was once one of the members of the Sorceress's Hall. ”
"Okay. Let's change the subject... I'm looking for some young woman. ”
"Really? Who is it? ”
"I'm looking for Siri, that is the Siri. You can't let anyone know about it, you know? ”
"Ciri is here? Not only was the Sorceress's Guild looking for her, but the girl that almost every ruler on the continent was looking for... Actually came to Wei Lun? And I don't even know anything? What is she doing here? ”
"There are signs that she is hiding. I've heard she had an affair with a witch, but if you don't know... Are you sure you haven't seen her? ”
"I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it. But recently someone asked me about a white-haired woman, and he said that this person would be prominent among the peasants. ”
"Did that guy say anything else?"
"Wait a minute, Rogette. Isn't it humble to plead with me? Don't you have to give sacrifices to witches for help? ”
"I don't have a toothy of gratitude, is that enough?"
"It's a generous gift, but you're always capable of getting into trouble. Maybe I should ask for something that can be delivered faster. Okay, don't make a stinky face there, I know we're talking about Ciri. It was an elf who asked her about it. And this elf is not a squirrel stinky boy, he is an elven mage. ”
"How could an elven mage come to Wei Lun?"
"Well, of course I tried to ask him, about everything... But you also know the virtue of the elf, and he answers one question and asks ten more questions. ”
"What's his name?"
"He didn't introduce himself and was wearing a mask. This elf is mysterious, but... I like him a lot, he's smart and he's very stance. ”
"Did he say what to do with Siri?"
He only said that they had made an appointment to meet at Wei Lun, and he wanted to know if she had arrived before him.
"Did he leave her a message?"
"Nope. But if he asked me to meet Ciri, I would take her to him. ”
"Do you know where to find him?"
"Yes. He said he found a hideout in the elven ruins near the village of Midkaos. I can go with you. ”
"You think I can't find it alone?"
"The elf and I have something to settle too. He promised me something and still hasn't given it yet. Other than that, you must be the same as I thought, maybe she's there. I want to meet her too. ”
"Wait a minute, I still have some things to do, and I can't leave for the time being."
"Then we'll meet there, and I'll be waiting for you at the entrance to the cave north of Midkaos."
The witch teleported away first. Rogette leads the players back to the outside village. Originally, everyone thought that Rogette was going to go to the baron, but he just went to the blacksmith to strengthen his equipment. This is a step added for the sake of the player.
After that, Rogette led everyone to the witch: "Can you go?" I can't wait to meet this mysterious elf. ”
Witch: "I'm curious to see what sparks you two will make." ”
The crowd entered the cave. They made their way to a broken bridge. There seems to be a fight going on on the opposite side.
Rogert: "It's a wild hunt..."
Witch: "What? Phantom Knight?! I thought they only had stories in... How could it be..."
Rogert: "Hey, they've got navigators... Can you teleport me to the other side? ”
Witch: "I'd rather teleport us home, do you really want to chase them?" I don't like that..."
Despite her complaints, the witch turned on the teleportation array. Rogette and the players passed over, and the witch waited in place.
As soon as I got out of the teleportation array, I encountered a monster, and it didn't seem to be the other side of the bridge. Everyone fought all the way and marched all the way. After a while, the witch came too.
Rogette: "Why are you here too?" ”
Witch: "I don't know what power there is here that would disrupt teleportation spells." I don't know how they managed to teleport to the other side. ”
Rogert: "The teleportation spells used by the Wild Hunt are different, they have specially trained mages who are responsible for teleportation, and they are called navigators. ”
Witch: "I don't care if they hire three helmsmen or keep a parrot." Anyway, I'm not going to take that risk again. ”
Rogette: "Let's go, Wild Hunt is one step ahead of us, but we still have a chance." ”
Witch: "Are you crazy?" We definitely want to leave this place right away! ”
Rogette: "I want to know what the hell Wild Hunt is doing here. ”
Witch: "But we're here for the Elven Mage, not to fight the Wild Hunt!" ”
Rogert: "If they're preemptive, we won't have a chance to talk to him." And..."
Witch: "Go on." Wait a minute, you seem to be very interested in Wild Hunt... Is it because of Siri? You've hidden something from me, haven't you? ”
Rogert: "If you come with me, maybe I'll tell you." ”
Witch: "You're still the same. Lily and Yennefer are so pitiful. ”
Rogette: "Hey, good, let's go." ”
Everyone can finally move on. They were lucky and soon met the elven mage. But his situation looked a little strange.
The elven mage stood on the chest in the corner, a cloud of light enveloping him.
Witch: "That's him!" It's the elf! ”
Elven Mage: "Daughter of the Seagull, I await you. Follow the instructions of the sword. He kept those words and vanished.
Rogert: "What is this?" Is it a phantom? ”
Witch: "No... It's a body projection. It's kind of like a mage's mailbox. There will be no interception in the middle, which is much safer than ordinary letter writing. ”
Rogert: "This must be a message for Ciri." 'Seagull's Daughter'... Laura. Descendants of Dolan. ”
Witch: "That's right, that's what the elves must call Ciri." But what does it mean to follow the instructions of the sword? Is it a code word? ”
Rogert: "It should be. Siri named her sword Givier-Swallow. ”
Witch: "Please, who else but you know about this kind of thing?" ”
Rogert: "Maybe he did it on purpose. Once your elven mage has secured the passage, seal it up and let Siri find it. ”
Witch: "He didn't expect to kill someone like you halfway." ”
Rogert: "I guess he expected an uninvited guest, though. Hope Hunt has run into obstacles. ”
Witch: "Let's go." Do you think it's okay to follow the swallows? ”
Rogert: "We'll find out later." ”
Everybody get out of here. Came to the entrance to the ruins. There is a swallow painted on the wall here. Rogette casts a spell on the swallow, and a portal appears next to it.
The witch said happily, "There has been." ”
Rogert: "Is it safe?" ”
Witch: "Probably so. This is the portal that the elven mage prepared for Siri. Let's go. ”
Everyone through the portal. The exit still seems to be a relic.
Witch: "It's horribly quiet here. ”
Rogert: "Is it that bad?" ”
Witch: "A little bit to the calm before the storm... I have a sense of foreboding..."
A golem appeared in the former people: "There is no Ji Wei Aier. It's an intruder. Kill the intruder. ”
It took a lot of time for everyone to kill the golem. Players continue to attrition. The rest moved on.
Witch: "What are your plans for when you find Siri?" ”
Another swallow portal. This time the place to come out is on the other side of the bridge.
Rogert: "That's bad. Wild Hunt is one step ahead of us. ”
Witch: "Let's go." ”
The road was a mess.
Rogette: "It must have been done by Wild Hunt." ”
Witch: "They killed the mage's guards, so they didn't come to make tea and chat." ”
Witch: "This golem... Before I could do anything, I was frozen. ”
Rogert: "Let's go..."
