Chapter 643: Swamp
"Whew!"
The sound of dull and heavy breathing came from behind the thick metal armor, and with the sound of metal grinding against each other, a tall figure, wearing heavy armor, slowly walked down the heavy deck of Negelfa. When a heavy thud sounded, a tall figure in armor was already standing on the slightly muddy ground.
"Arettin."
Nightmare Lord, King of the Wild Hunt, Aretin slowly removed the helmet on his top, revealing a slightly gloomy face, and a hoarse voice came from his thin lips, "Avalak! He looked at his former best partner with a little deep meaning, and then turned his gaze to Gail, his chief thinker and strategist. Gail, thank you. ”
"For, Ain-El!"
Arrytin nodded slowly, "Yes, for Aynael!" Immediately, his gaze became serious, "What about the human with the blood of the ancients?" The scrutinizing gaze looked at Gale and the taciturn Avalak beside him. Hearing the inquiry, the expression on Gail's face became visibly unsightly, "That human, beyond my expectations, broke free from me!" He replied a little frustratedly, "I was careless and let her escape." ”
"Gail, are you so weak now that you can't even capture a single human?" Arettin looked Gail up and down with a scrutinizing gaze that made the latter extremely uncomfortable, and he said, "Her control of the power of the bloodline is somewhat unexpected to me, but it is my responsibility that I did not capture her, and I will not make excuses for this!" ”
Aridine didn't linger on him, but looked at Avarak, "Can you explain that, Avarak!" ”
"Explain what?" Avalak replied sullenly.
"Explain, of course, why didn't you help Gail capture the human?" The expression on Aretin's face became extremely dangerous for a moment, "You should know how the return of the Ancient Blood to Ayn-El will help our race. He reproached Avalak, "But you let the human go, and you should know that the High Elves covet her as well." ”
"There will always be a solution to things, maybe not to such an extreme extent."
Arridine scoffed at this, "The solution? He said, "Gale may have told you that half of our homes have been destroyed." The people have suffered heavy losses, and do you still have the luxury of a peaceful solution? ”
Avalak said, "If the fight continues, only Ayn-El will be destroyed in the end." ”
"But the blood of the ancients is the hope of the revival of our race!"
"Aretin, this is just wishful thinking on your part." "The weakening trend of Ayn-El cannot be changed, the gap between us and the strong enemy is too great, and this gap and pressure is like an endless mountain pressing on Ain-El's head. No matter how hard we try, we can't climb that mountain. ”
Aritin looked at Avalak with anger in his heart, and after a long time, shook his head in disappointment, "You have disappointed me too much, Avalak!" With that, he ordered his knights to escort Avalak aboard the ship of Doom, Nigelfa. Immediately, this powerful black ship belonging to the wild hunt, under the command of Aretin, opened the portal again and began to pursue Ciri.
Although Ciri escaped from Gail's restraints, she was still traumatized by that moment of freeing. It would have been her running through the jungle, but the constant tingling sensation in her head was extremely uncomfortable. The rapid wheezing sound caused her to be devastated on both mental and physical levels. But she also knew she couldn't stop, because her pursuers hadn't left. Ciri is extremely sad about Avarak's behavior of 'betraying' him again, and at the same time pessimistic to find that at this moment, he seems to have been abandoned by the whole world. Everyone treats her with a strong sense of malice.
It made her want to cry, but she knew it wasn't going to solve anything. She forced herself to be strong, even though her feet were as heavy as lead at the moment, but she was also forcing herself to continue to run. She didn't know, and she didn't dare to imagine what was waiting for her once she was caught up by the Wild Hunt, and captured by the Wild Hunt. However, she knew one thing clearly, it must have tasted and felt bad.
She didn't want to put herself in such a situation, and she didn't want her life to be cast a shadow that couldn't be waved away before she even began.
She didn't know where she had been, or where the jungle and the region were. At that time, she chose to run away in a panic, so that she had no time to care about where she was at this moment. How she wanted to see her loved ones at the moment, Geralt, Viselmere, Yennefer, Triss, Lambert. Ciri swore that this was the first time in his life that he was so desperate to return to Kellmohan and see his family and friends.
Because, until this moment, she realized how much she wanted the help of her family and friends. The terrible feeling that there was no one in the world to help her made her want to go on again.
At this moment, Ciri, who fled in a panic, felt the malice and cold from behind her. With the cold wind blowing continuously, and the faint roar of the beast behind him, Ciri knew that it was a wild hunt chasing him. She never doubted how quickly the Wild Hunt pursued her. All she knew was that she had to be faster, or she would be overtaken by the Wild Hunt. Gradually, the faint roar of the beast behind him became clearer, and Ciri knew that he could not compare to the hounds under the command of Wild Hunt in terms of movement. Therefore, she chose to hide from the pursuit of wild hunting. She climbed a large tree and crouched in silence as the hunting knights and hounds ran swiftly past her. After a while, Ciri jumped off the tree, and there was no trace of the wild hunt in front of her or behind her, and she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to run forward. However, he accidentally fell into a swamp for a while. Struggling to get up, Ciri ignored the muddy water on her body, and she vaguely saw that there seemed to be houses in the swamp ahead. That means there's someone to live in, and that's a chance to get help!
Ciri ran towards the house, and when she arrived, she could hardly bear the mental and physical exhaustion. She was already exhausted, and fainted in front of the door of the house.
