Chapter 174: No Man's Land

The court of Vijma, the emperor's study.

His Majesty Enshir, who was listening to his men's report, saw that the air in the corner of the wall was distorted, like a lot of steam rising, and he waved his hand to make his men retreat. A moment later, a wooden door appeared in that position, and Shen Yan Shi Ran pushed the door and walked in.

He went to the center of the study, looked around, and casually dropped a man on the ground.

"I received intelligence that you captured a general on my front line, I guess...... That's him? Enshir sat behind the bookcase, staring at Shen Yan expressionlessly, like a lion who had been encroached upon. I need an explanation. ”

"I need an explanation too!" Shen Yan threw a wad of paper in front of Enhill. "These are the general's confessions, you'd better take a closer look."

Enhill glanced at the general, and vaguely remembered seeing this man, who was very heroic at the time. But now he is only wearing a single coat, and he doesn't seem to have any injuries, but since he was thrown on the ground by Shen Yan, he has been struggling like mud, and he doesn't dare to raise his head.

"This man is gone." Encher crossed the man in his mind, looked down at the pile of papers, and after a few pages, he slammed them back onto the table.

"Stupid!"

Enshir really thought the people who planned all of this were stupid - although he was using a "shadow" in the army who had nothing to do with the man and was completely bribed by money to do this, but did some things need proof? Not at all, just see who benefits!

Understand this and look back, it is all grass snake gray line, want to cover up!

What's even more disgusting is that the stupid woman and her family were clearly being used by the Furis family (the one who would have married Ciri), which is equivalent to giving a handle to the other party. There is such a big stain in the hands of the opponent, and the emperor marrying this woman is equivalent to marrying a time bomb......

"Whewβ€”I'll take care of this!" Enhil leaned back in his chair, his gaze revealing a look of recklessness.

If he is now dying of old age and low energy, he will definitely choose to compromise. Kernhill is now full of energy, and he can still master this empire for at least thirty years! Recently, I feel that it is boring to have no wild hunting, and someone is brushing his tiger whiskers at this time, is it because he is too gentle in recent years?

"It's not just about it!" Shen Yan was annoyed, and he kicked the general who was curled up on the ground and slammed it into the imperial book case. "If you have forgotten what we are trading, then I can remind you again - we have only one goal in trading, and that is to ensure that Ciri can live a safe, free and happy life!

It's not a vineyard, I have grapes grown in the world, not inferior to the land of Towcente! It's not that little bit of a plane business, I'm not short of money, and who do you think benefits more from the trade between us?

There has only been one beneficiary of my deal with you from start to finish, and that is Ciri! ”

As Shen Yan became angry, the entire Imperial Study and even the entire Vegema Palace were shaking! The glass lampshade gurgled and cracked on it. Several of the books on the shelves fell off......

Sensing the impact he had caused, Shen Yan reined in his strength and turned around.

"If you can't, I'll leave with Ciri...... And take back everything that was in the transaction. ”

After saying this, he pushed open the wooden door on the wall and left, and the wooden door disappeared with it.

*****

"Is that really good? He's Enghil Enrith, and I've never seen him soft. Ye Naifa watched the whole process, and it was inevitable that he was a little worried.

"It's okay," Shen Yan looked relaxed, how could he have just lost his temper. "If I don't pose to lift the table before leaving, he'll think I'm the same person as him. However, we are not the same, I am a puppet, he is the emperor, I can lift the table, but he needs to take care of the overall situation. ”

"You don't need to?"

"No, I'm bigger pictured." Shen Yan put on a posture of Lao Tzu's number one in the world.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I like the way you brag about not wanting to pay taxes yet. ”

is always with Shen Yan, and he has learned everything.

……

After going back, Shen Yan simply said, "That general colluded with Radovid V, was beaten by me and thrown to Enchil", and Ciri didn't pay much attention to it. She thought it should be like this, but Geralt still stared at Shen Yan and didn't take his eyes off.

When Ciri walked away, Shen Yan quietly made a throat-slitting gesture, and Geralt understood.

After bypassing Cowcastle and continuing northward into the Weilun region, the effects of the war began to be felt.

I often rode horses here and didn't see a few people a day, and most of them were robbers - the body was hungry, Shen Yan and the others couldn't bear to kill them, and they had to give some food so that they wouldn't starve to death; However, all kinds of monsters and monsters emerged one after another, and packs of wild wolves roamed on the barren ridges, and the white bones were exposed in the dirt......

Just like the most widely circulated saying in the local area: "No Man's Land" Weilun has really become a no man's land.

Wei Lun was already full of swamps, monsters were rampant, and it was extremely difficult to cultivate. After the devastation of this war, it may not be possible to recover for decades to come. It is no wonder that Nilfgaard did not occupy it after defeating the Northern Coalition here, but casually lost it to an officer after the defeat of the Northern Army. The officer was a self-proclaimed baron, stationed in a place called the Crow's Nest, and outsiders called him the "Bloody Baron".

"Actually, Philip's man is still quite good, he just loves to drink, and the nickname of the bloody baron is a complete misunderstanding." Sure enough, Ciri unsurprisingly defended the baron, because the baron was kind to her.

This detour to the Weilun area is still a continuation of Ciri's "grudge settlement trip".

She teleported out of the Skellig Islands, and her first stop was Velon. At that time, Ciri was injured and chased by wild hunting for several days and nights, tired and hungry. It was the Bloody Baron Philip Strenger who took her in and protected her, for which Ciri is so grateful! So no matter how bad the Baron's reputation on the outside was, Ciri was definitely on the Baron's side.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, he's a good player. Geralt said. Similarly, Shen Yan, Nikita, Geralt, and Triss are all the types to help their relatives and not help them.

Lake Fairy? Lake fairies are pets and do not have voting rights.

"Huh? Have you seen this baron too? Shen Yan was surprised, since Ciri and Geralt had visited the Crow's Nest one after another, could it be that part of the plot about the Bloody Baron in the game had already happened?

"Yes, I followed Ciri's footsteps to that place and helped the baron deal with some ...... Family trivia. Geralt said ominously, then shook his head, "That's an alcoholic, and it's his wife who really pities it, and I have no sympathy for his own plight!" ”

"What's going on? You haven't even told me! Ciri leaned over and asked.

Geralt didn't want to talk about other people's private affairs, but he was forced by Ciri to have no choice but to tell it.

It turns out that he is following Ciri's trail to the Crow's Nest, and the Baron asks him to help find his missing wife and daughter on the condition of "providing information about Ciri" - a typical RPG quest process. Geralt, who had long been accustomed to it, immediately agreed and began to investigate, and by the way, he won all the baron's money by playing cards.

But when he investigated deeply, he found that the baron's daughter had long believed in the eternal flame and quietly cursed her father to die behind her back. Her wife, who was pregnant, had a miscarriage after being beaten in a drunken madness of the baron, and ran away from home with her daughter in grief. The two were separated on the way, with the daughter going to Cowcastle to join the Church of the Eternal Flame, while the wife went to the Southern Swamps, where she was enslaved by the Three Witches named "The Lady of the Forest......

"Ah, those three abominable old witches!" Ciri gritted her teeth.

She also encountered the three witches in the forest, and she was almost eaten in the cauldron at the beginning! This time I came to Weilun, this is one of the great revenges that must be avenged. And these three old witches have done a lot of evil, and they should have died a long time ago. Ciri gathered two masters, Shen Yan and Geralt, to prepare to kill all three witches in one fell swoop! Ciri dares to love and hate, but not all enemies choose to forgive him.

"So, the old woman I saw was the baron's wife? Unfortunately, I didn't know it at the beginning...... Hurry up and talk about it! ”

Geralt shook his head helplessly and continued.

Although the baron was drunk and beat his wife, he loved his wife to the core. After hearing what happened to his wife, he immediately led his soldiers to the swamp, and Geralt went with him. On the way, they meet the baron's daughter, who also went to save her mother, a companion with the eternal fire. The Church of Eternal Fire, despite its extreme teachings, is good for its companions, and a group of people also risk their lives to come to the swamp.

Two groups of people merge and fight monsters such as the Three-Eyed Demon summoned by the witch! The human side suffered heavy casualties, and all the monsters were exterminated. But the three witches in the forest did not show up and ran away, and although the lady's wife was rescued, she was worse than dead.

"I heard that the baron is arranging the funeral, and then he left everything and took his wife to the Blue Mountains, hoping that the curse on her can be lifted once and for all." Geralt concluded.

After listening to this true story, the group was not in a good mood - that's why Shen Yan didn't come to the north! There is only poverty and hardship in this land, and there is never a "happy ending" here, there are only two options: "bad" and "worse". Like Tao Sente, everyone's biggest distress is grape diseases and pests, and Shen Yan will go to the north to find troubles for himself.

"Shen Yan......" Ciri looked at the robot cat pitifully, no, at the universal wishing machine Shen Yan.

Ye Naifa laughed hard in the dimensional house, and her daughter finally mastered the correct way to use men.

Everyone looked at it, what else could Shen Blue Cat Yan say, "Leave it to me!" ”

"Great," Ciri clapped his hands, "now it's only a matter of how to slaughter those three old witches!" ”

Shen Yan looked at the wilderness thoughtfully, in fact, because Shen Yan provided food to Nilfgaard, the chain effect had a very far-reaching impact on the Northern War. The reason why Weilun is deserted is not only because of the war, but also because Nilfgaard is fighting while collecting refugees and sending them to the south to concentrate on reclamation, and more people here are relocated.

Weilun is full of swamps, and the poor mountains and bad waters are really not a good place. The northern kingdoms had to reclaim Weilun because of their narrow territory, but Nilfgaard had fertile land that had not yet been cultivated. And because there was no shortage of food, Nilfgaard alone collected nearly 40,000 war orphans, and the most vulnerable part of the war was preserved and now raised under the control of the newly established "Templars".

Originally, Enhil did not agree to this, but Shen Yan made the collection of orphans one of the conditions for the grain deal, and in the end, this was the case.

The tentacles of the "Templar" also penetrated into this world.
