Chapter 621: Ciri and the Unicorn

Koraz Desert!

In a huge desert in the southeast of the northern border of the continent, a thin figure, carrying a sword on his back, walked in the endless desert with a gentle step. It's hot, there is a lack of water, there is a lack of food, and there is a lack of a tree that can be comfortably trimmed and block out the sun's blazing rays. For thousands of years, it has been inaccessible to people, since the original green space turned into a desert. As time passed, the desert expanded day by day and did not disappear. However, there are still a few lives in this sea of death, but no one is lucky enough to encounter them immediately.

"Whew... Call... Whew..."

Ciri looked up at the endless sea of sand, panting, she was now at the limit of her energy and physical strength. Moreover, there is a severe shortage of water, and every step she takes in the desert has to consume the little water in her body. Moreover, she is now lost and cannot find the water source that needs to be replenished urgently.

"I need water...... After not being able to drink water... I'm going to die of thirst......" Ciri struggled to look at the sun above her head, the blazing sun pouring its endless light and heat on the desert below. She had now reached her limit, and there was no more sweat on her forehead. The dry wind and sand blowing through will take away every drop of sweat from the person's body.

So Ciri is now getting thirstier and hotter, weaker and his eyes have long been blurred.

"Viselmir...... Geralt ...... Yennefer...... Triss ...... "She's starting to hallucinate that she's in the beautiful Kylemohan, surrounded by her loved ones. Geralt looked at her with concern, and Yennefer brought her food, and Triss brought her water, very, very much.

"Water... Give me water..."

Ciri opened his hand to get water from Triss's hand, only to find ...... "What's wrong with you?" Triss, give me water! The figures receded and faded, and Ciri shouted, "Don't go, don't leave me, Geralt... Yennefer ...... "Endless darkness poured in, and the figure of the staggering man fell in the desert.

"Water... water..."

An unconscious murmur sounded, followed by a sweet sensation, and Ciri felt a coolness covering her lips. She swallowed and sucked instinctively, and she drank the clear water.

"Water?"

Consciousness is gradually awakening, physical strength is gradually recovering, and with a fog in front of him, then a bright light appears. Ciri opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a tuft of hair, silvery-white hair that shimmered with a shimmering light, and then she saw a white and beautiful elf dancing in the moonlight, a unicorn.

"You're awake, Swallow." A soft voice sounded in Ciri's heart, and Ciri hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" The unicorn's eyes looked at Ciri, "It's me, Swallow." Ciri looked at it suspiciously, the unicorn at this time was incomparably holy and beautiful under the moonlight, "Are you talking to me?" You saved me too? ”

"That's right."

"A unicorn, how can it speak?" Ciri was surprised and felt incredible. "Our language is taught by the High Elves, but we cannot speak like humans and elves, and this ability to make our voices sound in the hearts of others is called telepathy," said the unicorn. ”

"High Elves?" Only then did Ciri realize that the unicorn that had saved her life was crawling beside her, with a hoof even on top of her. Unicorns are shy and fearful of humans, but if they meet a young virgin who has never had sex with a man, they will not hesitate to run over and kneel in front of her, resting on her knees. And, they're smart.

"Why did you save me?" Ciri asked about it. The unicorn replied to her without hesitation, "Do you still need a reason to save you?" "The voice is incredibly innocent, unpretentious. It was only then that Ciri began to look at the unicorn that had saved her life. It is a foal with a distinctive coat color, neither brown nor gray. The body shape is different from that of a horse, with a small head, an astonishingly slender neck, a slender skeleton, a thick long tail, and a single horn on the forehead, at least two palms long. Beside it, there was also a small basin of water, and it seemed that the water she had just drunk was stored here. It's just that Ciri is curious about how the unicorn feeds her.

"Why did you call me Swallow?" Ciri was curious, and she said, "My name is Ciri, what about you?" ”

The unicorn said, "My name is Ibara Quarks, hello Ciri." The reason why you are called a swallow is because of the bloodline inside your body, the heir to the blood of the ancients. ”

"I never knew that." Ciri shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything at all. Ibara Quarks said, "Ciri, sooner or later you will understand. Then it asked her, "Why are you in the desert?" Also, Geralt, Yennefer, who are they? Your parents? ”

"They are my adoptive parents, and as for why I am in the desert, I have to start with the ......," Ciri then began to tell the reason why she was in the desert.

It turned out that at the time of Nilfgaard's invasion of Sintra. Before her martyrdom, Ciri's maternal grandmother, Caranse, asked several knights in the castle to take an oath that they would protect Ciri and send her out of the city, and the knights made an oath and then protected Ciri from the city. However, in the process of escaping, the knight who protects Ciri is killed by the soldiers of Nilfgaard, and Ciri hides in the alleys of the burning city with the corpses. At this time, an elite team of Nilfgaard assigned by the Emperor and led by Cassirer rescued Ciri and took him out of the city. Ciri then escaped the Nilfgaard infantry with his own wits and escaped from the robbers, and then spent two weeks alone in the forest of the canal, all on his own. Subsequently, she fled with a group of wanderers and was later adopted by Christede, the wife of a merchant.

Perhaps because of the accident law, Geralt met a shipwrecked merchant Yurgar who asked him for help, and Geralt, who had learned of the Sintra massacre, asked for the accident law in return and saved the merchant from danger. On her way home, Yurga confesses to Geralt that he will not have another child and that his wife will not be able to conceive. However, when he returned home, he was surprised to learn that his wife had adopted a girl, that is, Ciri, so according to ancient tradition, the child belonged to Geralt.

Geralt then took Ciri back to Kelmohan and trained in the witcher's tradition, but did not let her undergo the Grass Trial. However, except for the Grass Trial, the Demon Hunter's skills taught Ciri. In the days that followed, the witchers of Kylemohan discovered that Ciri had a gift for magic and enlisted Triss's help. Subsequently, during the Council of Mages on the Isle of Suned, Yennefer led Ciri to the Isle of Sunned, and wanted to arrange for Ciri to receive formal systematic training at the island's Academy of Magic.

However, a coup ensued on Sunnid Island, in which both Cassirer and Vigfuz of Nilfgaard attempted to kidnap Ciri. Geralt was seriously injured in this confrontation and conflict, and was then sent away by Triss. Yennefer was also hit by the spell, and Ciri took advantage of the chaos to flee to the island's tower, the Tower of the Gull, one of the twin towers that Ain El once left behind. She walked to an abandoned portal in the tower, but as she entered, the portal activated, and Ciri was teleported into the Koraz Desert.
