Chapter 154: So You're Working in Vain
It's always a joy to be reunited, and Geralt is in a good mood to see her adopted daughter who has been separated for many years.
The father and daughter hugged each other, and Yennefer on the side hesitated for a while, but was pulled over by Ciri.
"Ciri, where have you been all these years, I know that Wild Hunt has been chasing you, you must not be doing well?" After hugging for a while, Geralt distanced himself and took a good look at Ciri's shoulder, "Why is the scar on your face gone?" β
"My friend helped me cure it." Ciri touched the skin under her left eye, the original scar had disappeared, Avalak had helped her recover some with ointment before, not as hideous as at the beginning, but after being with Zhang Lin and them, this scar said goodbye to her completely: "It's you, Geralt, who also left such a scar on your left eye, I remember not before." β
Geralt paused, the scar had made him feel more similar to Ciri, but now it seemed to be different: "Oh, that's the masterpiece of Sbarra's petrified chicken, nothing." β
"Okay, don't stand here, we still have a lot to talk about" Ye Naifa on the side interjected, and then looked at Zhang Lin who sent the two up, "This gentleman, you should be a friend in Ciri's mouth, you have such a magical thing and ability, can you provide me with a place to talk to my daughter?" β
Zhang Lin shrugged and said, "No problem! β
With that, Zhang Lin snapped his fingers, and the four of them appeared together in the tavern in Novi Gray City.
"This is my tavern, you sit down and talk slowly, you need something to drink and let Ciri bring it to you."
Being teleported by Zhang Lin again, Ye Naifa's expression was still very surprised, he didn't ask before, but now he was a little curious: "This kind of teleportation is much more stable than our spells, is there a specific principle that I can learn from?" β
"I'm sorry, I just know how to use it." Zhang Lin spread his hands helplessly.
"I just don't feel dizzy, it's great." Geralt thought back to some of his previous bad experiences with teleportation, and the steady teleportation experience made him feel better, and then he observed the layout of the tavern: "This is ...... I've been here, and Triss told me that Ciri and the boss of this place left, and I didn't expect it to be you. β
Yennefer, who was on the side, heard the name of the woman mentioned by Geralt, and said with some surprise: "You are here to see your lover?" β
"No, Yennefer, it's you who I like." Geralt hurriedly remedied, but Yennefer was a little stunned when he said this, it seemed that this was the first time Geralt had officially spoken this to him.
However, while the two were talking, Zhang Lin heard a little movement at the door, so he turned around and said, "You family of three have a good chat, I'll go out first." β
With that, Zhang Lin opened the door and walked out, while Ciri pulled his adoptive father and adoptive mother to the table and sat down, chatting with them about his experience over the years.
Coming to the door, Zhang Lin saw that Triss was cleaning up the monsters that were approaching on the edge of the barrier, so he stepped forward.
"Yo, Trissy, you're bothering me about this tavern."
Triss heard the sound and turned around, already a little out of breath because she had been maintaining spells and destroying those monsters.
"Phewβdo you know that when you come back, when the shopkeeper throws this tavern to me, I can still let it destroy the monsters and things that fell from the sky?" Triss glanced at Zhang Lin angrily, "You got that big guy in the sky back." β
"That's mine, though it's robbed." Zhang Lin didn't care about Triss's complaints, this was an exchange, Mia taught her knowledge, and she helped manage the tavern during the days when everyone was away, and she made a lot of money.
"Coolβ" Triss cried like a young girl, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.
"Didn't I tell you that my tavern wouldn't be destroyed by external forces?" Zhang Lin saw Triss like this, and suddenly felt an urge to play a prank in his heart.
Zhang Lin's words fell, and Triss was stunned for a moment before realizing what Zhang Lin meant by this: "You mean, I'm all working for nothing!?" β
Zhang Lin nodded, with a cheap smile on his mouth.
"Eat me big fireball!"
The fireball thrown by Triss was dodged by Zhang Lin and hit the outer wall of the tavern, but there were no scorch marks at all, and she was convinced that Zhang Lin's words were true.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you in advance." Zhang Lin, who dodged a big fireball, hurriedly waved his hand to prevent the other party from firing again.
Seeing that Triss had no tendency to do it again, Zhang Lin continued: "Your old lover White Wolf is inside, don't you want to take a look?" β
Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Triss's expression changed slightly, but she didn't move her steps: "It should be a reunion of a family of three, so I won't participate, and...... I love learning now! β
As she spoke, Triss smiled and showed her white teeth.
Zhang Lin looked at the other party for a long time, and was sure that what Triss said was really the truth, and thought that he could see a Shura field, but he didn't expect that it didn't exist at all.
Looking up at the Heart of Evil that was still hovering above Novigre, Triss said, "Take me up and see it, it's like never before." β
"As you wish."
Today, Zhang Lin is a cameo porter, moving people up and down.
The two of them were teleported to the bridge of the Evil Heart, where everyone else gathered around and watched the chaos below, as if they were watching a play.
Mia takes Triss to visit the battleship, and Zhang Lin goes to the head of the bridge, and finds that the soldiers of Nilfgaard are even more unbearable after losing the help of Geralt and Yennefa, but this is also related to the vast territory outside the city and the large number of monsters.
So Zhang Lin activated a device on the battleship, and the next moment his voice resounded throughout the sky: "Hey, can you hear me, it's audition time, and the price of the shirt is nine pounds and fifteen pence......"
The soldiers below were stunned when they heard this inexplicable word, and one by one they looked up at the sky, because the sound came from above the huge guy.
Seeing that the success attracted attention, Zhang Lin continued: "The clean-up work is about to begin, please consciously stay away from the monsters around you in the crowd below, if there is any accidental injury, this ship will not be responsible!" β
Emperor Enhil, who was protected by a group of soldiers, was stunned for a moment, and looked at the personal guard beside him: "That voice above means to clean up monsters, right?" β
Hearing Enhill's question, the personal guard was also a little confused: "It should be right, he also let us leave the monster." β
With a consensus, Enhil immediately ordered: "Inform all soldiers, retreat!" Away from the monsters on the plains, the royal mages are dispatched to isolate them with enchantments! β
Enhill's order was quickly conveyed and the soldiers began to evacuate, and several royal mages who were far from Bitrice and Yennefer began to cast spells together to isolate the retreating Imperial soldiers from the incoming monsters, although some of the soldiers were entangled and could not escape, and the Emperor had to abandon them.
When everything was ready, the soldiers of the Nilfgaard Empire and their emperor saw a scene that terrified them.
The green fireballs in the sky flew down from the big guy floating in the sky, and those monsters that were originally difficult to deal with were blown into pieces, and the places where the fireballs were concentrated were also spread by a cloud of green energy, causing the vegetation to disappear and the soil to turn black.
Occasionally, a few fireballs slammed into the barrier cast by the royal mages, causing the barrier to shake violently, causing the soldiers who were protected inside to exclaim.
It didn't take long for there to be few monsters left in the area covered by artillery fire, and the large hole in the sky that appeared in the sky due to the intersection of the celestial spheres was slowly shrinking, it was only a small rendezvous, and it didn't last long.
"Eh, it's polluted the environment again,......" Zhang Lin patted his forehead and looked at the darkness below.
