When the two sides met just now, Ji'er's move of drawing her sword elicited various reactions from the other party. With the mysterious Antolian aristocratic lady as the core, the powerful female swordsman Jin Yue and the four dragonborn warriors are all her descendants and should belong to the category of retainers, so they attach the most importance to her safety, and they become nervous at the slightest disturbance.

And the nasty-mouthed, arrogant Moon Elf archer An Chu, and the other two months elf companions who traveled with him, should be relatively close allies with the noble lady of Antolia. They also attach great importance to the personal safety of the mysterious eldest lady, but compared with Jin Yue and the others, the relationship is still a thin line.

As for Geralt, the witcher, and the other pair of men and women from the Southern Desert Continent, they should also be the same as the three Gordons, and they belong to the adventurers who were temporarily recruited into the team of the eldest lady.

Knowing the relationship between the people of this team will make it much easier to act in the future.

"Mr. Geralt, I haven't been able to find a chance just now, how about it, how about a conversation now?" Gordon said to a man at the back of the left side of the group.

The white wolf saw a strange middle-aged fat man waving to him with a lewd smile on his face, and felt a little inexplicable. In a place like the abyss, people's vigilance will be increased. Mr. Witcher, who is experienced in adventure, looked at Gordon suspiciously, and a little wary was born in his heart.

"It seems that illusion is too cleverly disguised, and it is not a good thing." Gordon shrugged his shoulders and shouted, "Have you forgotten, I'm Baron Lindemann, and we drank together in Freiris City!" ”

Hearing the key word of Fryres City, Geralt seemed to understand something. He suddenly let out an "oh", with a friendly smile like an old friend reunited. Walked over to Gordon. The witcher looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them. Even the two girls beside Gordon walked away deliberately and interestingly. Then he asked tentatively in a low voice, "Count Freeman?" ”

"Yes."

"They said you were dead." Geralt was not surprised, but said calmly.

"After I disappeared, there would be rumors all over the place, which was to be expected. But who are 'they' you referring to? ”

Geralt sneered, "Who else is there besides the Archbishop Dudeka who experienced the last spatial vortex?" ”

The witcher slowly tells him what happened after Gordon was calculated by the Succubus Queen and sucked into the Endless Abyss.

The Temple of Dawn issued an official report the day after the Huiyang Festival: after everyone repelled the Black Dragon Prince and thwarted the conspiracy of the god son Alain, the Succubus Queen, who had always coveted the heart of the devil, quietly appeared. Sneak attack. In the midst of a massive explosion caused by space turbulence, Gordon. The Earl of Freeman with his fiancée, Venia. Sterling, and the heir of the Phoenix family, Ji'er. Miss Phoenix, tragically killed. Also, the paladin Renus. Reinhardt was also injured in the explosion and fell unconscious.

"Afterwards, I got some clues from Archmage Savi about your conflict with the old nun. I thought the other party would take the opportunity to fall into the trap and slander you as colluding with demons. Heinous, evil mages who are so bad that they bleed pus. Unexpectedly, Archbishop Dudika had reservations. ”

"Because they know it's useless." "Even if I'm 'dead,' the Freeman family is still there. My territory is still there. My allies in the north are still there. They will not sit idly by and watch my reputation and that of the entire Freeman family be tarnished. Archbishop Dudeka could not be stupid enough to do such a pointless thing. Besides, on the eve of the Huiyang Festival, because of the abnormal military movement of the Black Dragon Empire. The whole of Ferreton was busy. At such a time, Archbishop Dudika suddenly jumped out. Say that I, a mage who made contributions to the Northern War, was personally received and rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor. Suddenly became a big bad guy who colluded with the devil. Will anyone believe it? Does anyone bother with such a thing? ”

"You have a point." Geralt laughed, "Hero titles seem to be really useful sometimes. I kind of want to be a big hero. ”

"No problem, just run and cut off all five of Tiamat's heads, and I promise you that the people of Ferredon will not only honor you as the greatest hero of the founding of the country, but will also personally put you on the throne of the emperor."

"Emperor? Not interested. Geralt shrugged.

On the second day of the Huiyang Festival, when the Demon Hunter was still seriously injured, he drank a few bottles of the Demon Hunter's special potion with great side effects, forcibly restored his body functions, and then left the city of Freiris and came to the abyss. Therefore, he did not know anything about the situation of the entire empire after that, let alone the news of the Haiwen Peninsula.

"I found an old friend, a witch who lived in seclusion in the province of Changxia, and was as old as a fossil, and asked her to help me open the dimensional portal and come to the Endless Abyss." Geralt said.

There are two things that Mr. Witcher values most in his life: money and women. The reason why he was in such a hurry to come to the Endless Abyss was also to find Triss. After learning the whereabouts of the red-haired witch from the Black Dragon Prince, Geralt was reluctant to stay in the main material realm for a moment.

However, he made a mistake in the teleportation process. When the old witch opened the spatial portal, some of the magic materials she used were older than her, and they had expired and deteriorated for I don't know how many years. So something went wrong when casting the spell, and Geralt, who was supposed to go to the first layer of the Endless Abyss, came to the kingdom of order ruled by Balu Dilong.

"Looks like we're pretty close together, Earl Freeman. Otherwise, how could they both make mistakes during the transmission process and fail to reach their intended destinations? ”

Gordon laughed, "If I hadn't known your sexuality, I would have thought you were deliberately courting me based on what you just said." ”

"Lord Earl, even if I really like men, I have no interest in your dignity now."

"Not necessarily. I've heard that some men have very special tastes, and they like chubby men. And if you have a big beard and thick hair, it's even better. This kind of man has a code name, called 'bear'. ”

"......," Geralt glanced at Gordon with a strange look in his eyes, "To be honest, if I hadn't known that there were a lot of girls around you, Lord Earl, I would have doubted your sexuality." ”

"In every sense of the word, a mage knows more than the average person." "But let's stop there." Otherwise, when I use my spell to summon a ferocious bear in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to look at it directly. ”

"Agreed." Geralt nodded.

So, Gordon steered the topic from the direction of heavy taste to serious things.

"Look at this person, if this is the Miss Triss you're looking for." Gordon pulled out a thin piece of crystal. He gently rubbed the surface of the crystal piece with his thumb, injected a trace of source energy, and a vivid image appeared on it.

This is exactly the image that Gordon took the opportunity to "sneak up" after meeting the group of Northumbards in the Adventurers' Guild.

Although the crystal shards showed a large group of people, Geralt recognized the red-haired, fiery witch in the crowd at a glance.

"That's right! It's Triss! The witcher, who was always calm and composed, and had a prodigal temperament, was also unusually excited at this time, and his voice was high, even making the pair of southern men and women not far away turn their heads and look sideways.

Gordon also told Geralt what he had heard from the Northumbrårds.

"I have heard from the leader of the Northumbradians, a countess named Zerabe, that the purpose of their trip to the Abyss is to obtain the Orb of Eternity. Do you know what this thing is? Maybe Triss's arrest had something to do with it. ”

"The Ancient Orb?" Geralt looked down and thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

His answer made Gordon feel a little disappointed. As for the ancient orb on his body, which was an artifact, Gordon didn't know much. While this is a very powerful piece of magical equipment for a mage, its value does not fully match its artifact status. This Eternal Orb is a treasure that the Black Dragon Prince will not hesitate to get his hands on. The other side even dispatched an imperial fleet to coordinate the actions of the god son Alain in the city of Flaires.

The effect of the Ancient Orb is definitely not only to double the power of the spells of the Plastic Energy and Protection Schools.

Geralt didn't know the origin and true function of the Ancient Orb. Still, Gordon got some useful information from him.

Triss is a witch from the Livia region. If there is one thing that makes this particular group different from other spellcasting professions on the continent today, Gordon would surely say that the arcane systems mastered by witches and mages and spellcasters such as warlocks are very different.

Although the witches are now learning the entire main material realm - and even the eight school arcane systems used by many of the outer realms, they themselves come from ancient times, and the more mysterious and primitive witch magic has always been well passed down.

Although the foundation was laid by the Sun Elf Empire in the Third Age, and supplemented by the later Netherduran Magic Empire, the eight-school arcane system is very systematic, very conducive to learning and dissemination, and has great advantages in in-depth research and development. But the primitive magic of witches also has its strengths.

Their magic is closer to the essence of source energy, and witch magic is learned by "feeling" compared to contemporary magic, which focuses on systems and theories.

In many expeditions to the ruins of the First Age or early Second Age, a witch is often worth more than a good mage. (To be continued......)
