Geralt didn't know what was going on in the White Orchard, he was trying to find clues about his daughter, and this time, he was ready to try to track down all possible information.

Because of Kayla's help, he first went to the Crow's Nest and visited the Bloody Baron. The sorceress took his place and went to the humpback mire to deal with the old witches, who were all "witches" in a sense, and perhaps easier to talk to.

It's just that what the witcher didn't expect was that his trip didn't go well, quite unsmoothly.

The Bloody Baron is a good talker, but also a bad talker, and he asks the witcher to solve his problems first before he tells them what he knows...... Equivalent exchange is indeed the truth of this world.

This made Geralt extremely anxious, why is this world like this, everyone has so much bullshit?!

No one will happily tell him about a thing, but always ask him to do something for the other person in exchange for the same ...... Seriously, he's had enough of this.

But there is no way, the demon hunter is generally not high-status, not much wealth, he wants to obtain information through other means, but it is easier to make extraneous branches.

After riding out of the crow's nest, Geralt had a headache thinking about what he should do next, and what to do to investigate the baron's missing wife and daughter.

It was at this moment that he saw a strange figure appear on the road ahead.

“……”

The white wolf's eyes froze slightly, and he realized from a distance that the person was the mirror merchant he had met in the White Orchard Hotel earlier, the strange guy who claimed to have been nicknamed "Mirror Master" by others.

The other party claimed to be a mirror merchant, a "leprosy bum".

However, Geralt subconsciously felt that this guy was a little weird, as if he was hiding some big secrets, and even his intuition was faintly warning.

There is no reason for this, it is purely the mutant gene in the bloodline, which creates the stronger senses and reactions of the witcher, constantly warning him to stay away from this so-called mirror merchant who looks ordinary and even has a middle-aged balding crisis.

It doesn't make sense, but the witcher is convinced that there is nothing wrong with his instincts—

Although this is not the time to argue about the difference between a man's intuition and a woman's intuition, and his Witcher crest doesn't feel any magic fluctuations.

But he won't forget what happened when they met at the inn in White Orchard......

At that time, he was still looking for Ye Naifa's traces, but he had just mentioned his intention to the other party, and Ye Naifa's name had not even been reported, and the other party knew it.

The mirror merchant explained at the time that this was because he had a good memory, and that as a small peddler, he did not know any big people, but had only heard about Geralt of Rivia and Yenefa of Wengerburg from Dandrien's ballads.

In short, it was just as luck that he had heard the rumors about it, and because of his good memory, when Geralt approached him for questioning, he also happened to match the information he knew.

Geralt did believe this explanation at first.

Because he really couldn't see anything unusual about this mirror merchant, he regarded him as an ordinary small trader.

After that, the Mirror Merchant not only provided useful clues, but also kindly suggested that he go to the Nilfgaard garrison camp in the White Orchard to ask the local commander for further details, and also gossiped about the reason why the witcher was looking for the sorceress if it was related to love.

All these performances made Geralt convinced that this guy was just a well-informed, flexible but gossipy ordinary person who liked to inquire about things that had nothing to do with him.

However, this also explains why this mirror merchant really has relevant information, if he is not so gossipy, his information will not be so well-informed.

It's just that after that, the guy gets up from his chair, walks past him and leaves a word, and just disappears......

Literally, it just disappeared, strictly speaking, but as soon as the witcher turned around, he didn't know where the mirror merchant had gone.

There was no sound of the inn door being opened, and no trace of the teleportation spell being activated, but the guy disappeared in less than half a second, as if the whole person had mysteriously evaporated from the air.

If it was too fast, then it would be impossible for humans to be so fast, or rather, there was no creature on this planet that could be so fast that even the senses of the witchers could catch it.

If it was in the form of teleportation, and he directly teleported out of the White Fruit Orchard Hotel, then not to mention the terrifying concealment that there was no magic fluctuation at all, and even the Demon Hunter Badge could not be perceived, the fact that the teleportation technique was instantaneous was scary enough.

Geralt even thought he had encountered a ghost, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain it.

And at this time, he actually encountered the "ghost" of the mirror merchant again, not at the inn of the White Orchard, but on the road near the crow's nest in the center of Willen, and he was standing by the street sign at the fork in the road in front of him, waiting quietly.

“……”

“……”

Looking up at the blazing sun in the sky, Geralt's eyes were fascinated by the blinding sunlight.

It doesn't seem to be a ghost, and this guy obviously has a physical existence, considering that nothing happened in the hotel before, and it was thanks to him that he was able to find the clues of Yennefer.

- I still didn't get it in the end, but I really want to thank this guy......

Geralt thought as he let the horses go on and walked towards the vendor in front of him.

Of course, the main reason is that he judged that this guy was coming for himself. Escaping will never solve the problem, and the concept of the witcher's behavior makes him ready to face it head-on and see what this is all about.

Anyway, there was enough trouble, and Geralt didn't dislike any more. What's more, considering that this guy is very well-informed, he is also ready to ask the other party about Ciri.

"We're meeting again, I remember you're the Mirror Master, right?"

Reaching the fork in the road, the Witcher rolled off his horse, greeted the Mirror Merchant, and said a nickname he had previously mentioned.

The mirror merchant showed his signature smile, and he felt from the bottom of his heart, as if a real businessman saw a customer coming to the door, and subconsciously showed a business smile:

"yes, meet again, Geralt of Rivia. But there's no need to be so polite, it's okay if you just call me "Glass Kid", I won't mind. ”

"Then let's call you Master Mirror, I think it's better to do that......" Geralt nodded, his heart relaxed slightly, the other party's attitude was exactly the same as when they first met, there was no difference.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, no matter who this guy really was, what his origins and intentions were, at least not that aggressive style.

However, a sigh of relief does not mean that he has relaxed his vigilance, his body is still tense, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.

"I remember the first time we met, you told me that we travelers should help each other, maybe one day you will also get into trouble, and then it will be my turn to help you......"

Geralt quickly recalled the conversation at the White Orchard Inn, his eyes fixed on the mirror merchant, and asked tentatively.

He thought about it, and felt that it was probably such a possibility, anyway, everyone pays attention to equivalent exchange, and when he asks the bloody baron about the whereabouts of his daughter, he must help the other party find the whereabouts of his wife and daughter first.

Therefore, Geralt has also seen through the essence of this world, and thinks that this mirror master should have come to collect the last payment, and then there is probably something inconvenient for him to do, and he wants to entrust the witcher to do it...... Developments like that.

"You have a good memory, and I'm really here for your help...... But don't worry, if you help me, I will help you, and we should have a common word in this matter. ”

The Mirror Merchant smiled, acting quite enthusiastic and sincere, and said pointedly.

"I'd love to help you, Master Mirror. After all, you did help me before...... But now I really don't have time, I still have things to do. ”

The witcher sighed and said helplessly.

He seems to be taking on more and more tasks, but he is really not in the mood to run errands now, do branch lines, clear maps or anything, his daughter's whereabouts are still unknown, life and death are uncertain, he just wants to grasp the main line and go all the way and advance the plot as soon as possible.

After all, time waits for no one.

"No, no, no, you just don't understand the situation yet, and when you understand the situation, you will find out that what I said is what you should be most concerned about at the moment......"

The Mirror Merchant shook his head, disagreeing with Geralt's rejection of his actions.

The white wolf waved his hand a little impatiently: "How do you know what I care about most now?!" ”

"Givy El." The Mirror Master smiled and uttered a word.

This is an Elvish noun meaning "swallow", and it is also an alias for Ciri.

The witcher was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and suddenly his eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the mirror merchant:

"I haven't asked yet, but you really know? Did you hear this from Dandrien's ballads? I didn't know that damn bard was so well-informed! ”

"You can understand it that way......" The Mirror Merchant didn't mean to explain, but after all, this strange guy was a mystery all over.

Geralt couldn't care about his own ** power at this time, he didn't have time to pay attention to how the damn bard knew his business, and updated the news into his rap story synchronously.

"Well, then you know where she is?!"

He stepped forward and asked with great urgency.

"Yes, in fact, she asked me to come to ......you," the Mirror Merchant nodded, and then said meaningfully, "She didn't pay me anything, but because it was interesting, I decided to take the commission anyway." ”

"What do you mean?" The witcher suddenly had an ominous premonition.

But the Mirror Merchant didn't explain, just raised a hand, and then - the whole world was turned upside down at once.

Geralt didn't know what was going on, but he felt a slight feeling of dizziness come from the flowers in front of him.

Then, when he found that the scenery around him had changed drastically, he subconsciously looked around, and was shocked to find that he had left Willen and returned to the area of the White Fruit Orchard.

— for the crow's nest behind him was suddenly gone, and the outline of a mill appeared on the hill in the distance.

It looked familiar, for it was there that he and Viselmir had slain the griffons not long ago.

He and the Mirror Merchant are still standing next to a sign at a fork in the road, and the Temerian text on the sign clearly indicates that the cemetery of White Orchard Village is ahead of a certain road.

It's definitely not teleportation!

But what exactly, he couldn't be sure!

"You ——?!" The witcher took a few steps back, almost reflexively, distanced himself from the other, and reached out to hold the silver sword on his back, looking at the other in disbelief.

Bullshit mirror merchant! Bullshit peddler! Bullshit bum!

This guy is definitely a very powerful being, more powerful than all the warlocks he has ever seen combined. This hand alone has already shown that maybe if you look around this planet, you probably won't be able to find anyone who can compete with him head-on!

"The graveyard ahead, there is a huge secret hidden underneath......" Master Mirror didn't care about the white wolf's behavior, just stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, "The Nilfgaard people have already noticed that something is wrong, so they must be killed." ”

"But you can take advantage of the riot they caused, take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in, and if you're lucky enough, you'll find the person you're looking for...... It's just that it's going to be very tough and dangerous. ”

"You don't have much time, the Nilfgaard can only get your attention before it gets dark, and after dark, if you don't succeed in finding the person you're looking for, or convincing her to flee the place, then you may never get out again."

“……”

“……”

Seeing that the witcher didn't speak, just frowning and not knowing what to think, the mirror merchant added meaningfully as if he had thought of something—

"You humans all believe that history should be written by the victors, so wars never end...... Even if history is decided, if it is against you, you all want to turn it upside down and rewrite it. ”
