Willen, a relatively remote and backward rural place in a relatively prosperous city. On a gentle slope that is relatively high, tents rise and fall into the distance. Invited armies, members of the Sorceress's Guild, druids, mages and other powerful professions gathered together. They have different purposes and different hearts, but these people are united by a single goal. And with each other, there is nothing to do.

They gathered in a tent to discuss the meeting, after all, they were going to a world that was completely alien to them, and they were dealing with a race they knew nothing about. Therefore, they need to ensure that in the absence of the necessary intelligence, how they proceed is extremely important. Not only do they have to deal with a strange group of elves, but even the elves of Ayn-El, who are about to be companions, are extremely strange to them.

At least, they've all been asked to name the Wild Hunt, and some have experienced it themselves, such as Yennefer.

"I know very well the power of the wild hunts, and the name they have spread around the world is a nightmare." "I don't want to remember that experience, staying by the side of Wild Hunt, it's like being in close contact with death. She looked a little worried, "Such a powerful wild hunt and their race, Aynael, are no match for the High Elves, or even fear them. I'm worried about what kind of bad situation we will face in the next steps. ”

Yennefer was originally taken captive by the Hunting King Arettin, but Geralt replaced her with her. However, that experience at the beginning also makes Yennefer still reluctant to recall. What's more, she lost her memory afterwards, although she recovered quickly. But obviously, that experience still left her in the shadow.

And now, the wild hunt, which was already extremely powerful for her in the past, was so terrified when faced with an even more mysterious and strange race. This made Yennefer not know what to say at all.

Her words caused silence in the conference tent, and everyone had heard of the name of the wild hunt. However, very few have had hands-on contact with the wild hunt. And the Yennefer in front of him counts as one, and Geralt counts as one. However, the words spoken by the original party Ye Naifa himself made many people confused.

Wild Hunt is terrifying enough, but how powerful should an opponent who is stronger than Wild Hunt, so strong that even Wild Hunt feel terrified?

"I remember, I once saw a record of the High Elves in an old remnant!" The one who spoke was one of the founders of the Sorceress's Guild, Philippa Earhart. When she said this, the silent crowd began to focus on the sorceress, and Philippa said, "I have not personally experienced how powerful the High Elves are, and I do not know what to judge them. However, the contents of that ancient fragment show that there were hundreds of worlds ruled by them. And in those worlds, there is no shortage of powerful warlocks and mages. However, in the face of a white ship, the camp of a hundred crew members was powerless to overthrow their rule. And this rule lasted for 2,000 years. They won their freedom, but it was not earned by themselves. Instead, the High Elves evacuated their world suddenly. What is the specific reason, so far it has become a mystery. ”

Listening to Filippa's words made everyone in the tent even more silent. They began to gauge what the outcome of the operation would be, for hearing the words of Yennefer and Philippa led them to conclude that the High Elves were incomparably powerful. And this kind of power, in the eyes of them who lack intelligence, is so mysterious and incomprehensible.

Compared to the encroachment of other countries among mortals, the High Elves had already expanded their power and territory to hundreds of worlds two thousand years ago. Compared with this large-scale scene, the war game between mortals is simply not on the table. And now, they are facing such a super-powerful race, and a so-called upper world that is longed for by countless races.

"Hmph, I heard you two sorceresses say so much, they are all cheering up the enemy." Golan, the general in charge of the Nilfgaard army, snorted disdainfully, "If you are so afraid, then what is the matter with us gathering together?" Everyone is afraid of death, so why don't they disband it now, what upper world will they go to? ”

"Goranin, we're just making our point, after all, we know almost nothing about the High Elves." Filipa retorted.

"Philippa Earhart, don't forget that your charges are still not cleared!" Goran looked at the blind sorceress in front of him unkindly, and his words were full of warning.

Filipa was not afraid of her, nor was she afraid, "General, please don't forget that my current job is to help Nilfgaard find your princess, and it may also be your future empress!" ”

"Humph!"

Golan changed color slightly, and then snorted coldly, and stopped talking. After all, we all come together for one purpose. If you fall out now, it's not good for anyone. The Sorceress's move to rescue Ciri is an investment. Once Ciri ascends the throne and is crowned Empress of the Nilfgaard Empire, the Sorceress' Guild will inevitably rise with it. As an officer commanding the Imperial Army, Golan also regarded the rescue of Ciri as a kind of capital. Once the princess is successfully ushered in, then in the absence of Emperor Enshir Enres, Ciri will inevitably replace Enshir and be crowned as the empress of the Nilfgaard Empire. And he, as the general who rescued the empress, is bound to gain supreme glory and power after the coronation of the new empress.

"Where's Geralt?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Zoltan interjected, "As the convener of this meeting, where did Geralt go?" ”

Hearing the words of the dwarf Zoltan, everyone remembered that they had never seen Geralt since they had gathered in Willen.

Triss spoke, "Geralt's former mentor was the High Elves. Viselmir once sent Geralt, who had just graduated from school, to be taught there. According to Viselmir, Geralt was trained for some time with his High Elf mentor. Since then, his abilities have grown by leaps and bounds, and he has become the Witcher you now know. "Geralt said when he left that he was going to try to find this mentor of his, to see if he could get help, or to get information belonging to the High Elves," she said. ”

"Count the time, and you should be back." Triss had finished speaking when she heard a report from an attendant that Geralt had returned.

"Look, he's back." Triss finished with a smile on her face. Seeing this, Ye Naifa on the side frowned unhappily, and then walked out of the tent with his arms crossed.
