Chapter 808: Arriving at the Castle

"Do you want to deal with them?" Leo asked in a deep voice as he turned his head to look behind him at the people who were following him.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "There's no need, it's the last day, as long as you don't provoke us, don't pay attention to them." ”

"Where next?" asked Leo again.

"Let's go to the arena!" Sylvia thought for a moment and said, "Fran used to have a knight's arena, and I remember where I saw knights when I was a child, but unfortunately the place was demolished later. ”

Hearing Sylvia's request, the two turned around and walked towards the gladiatorial arena.

It's just that when he came to the outside of the arena, he found that Geralt, who was angry, was leading Regiel and the others to wander outside the arena, not knowing what they were doing.

"Geralt, what's going on?" the two immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Before Geralt could speak, Angoulam on the side jumped out and rushed to answer the question.

It turned out that Cassirer, Angoulan, and Mirva went to the nearby tavern and grocery store to find out if they could find out some news related to Stiga Castle, after all, if Stiga Castle was really manned, they would definitely come to Cramont if they needed to buy supplies.

As a result, they did find out some information about the castle of Stigar, and learned that the castle was now inhabited by some people, most of whom were thugs, who had been dismembered in full view of the people who had clashed with them, and who had not been punished afterwards, because the leaders of those people were relatives of Viscount Dominique Bonbastus Hofnal, the great man of Clarmont.

This Viscount Dominique Bonbastus Hofnar is definitely one of the biggest names in Cramont, even the mayor of the town has to bow his head in front of him, because nearly forty percent of the town's property belongs to this viscount, and the other sixty percent also has his investment, and the gladiatorial arena in the city was also built by him.

It can be said that the entire economic lifeline of Claremont is in the hands of this viscount, so that the appointment of officials in the town sometimes needs to be subject to him.

Although the townspeople knew very well what kind of bad guy the viscount was, he had a good reputation outside, because he regularly organized some charitable events, and built several orphanages, hospitals, and nurseries, so that the outside world regarded him as an upright and kind man.

Because Dominique Bombastus Hofner had something to do with Stigar Castle, Cassirer asked more about Dominique Bombastus Hofnar, and they found out some news that might be related to Ciri.

Some time ago, that relative of the castle of Stiga sent a gladiator to Dominique Bombastus Hofnarr, who was very strong and won several fights in the arena.

It's just that the reason why this gladiator attracted attention was not because he won a few gladiatorial fights, but because this gladiator was just a little girl, a little girl with long white hair and a scar on her face.

And when mentioning the little girl, the person who said about it also looked at Angoulan and felt that Angoulan looked very similar to the little girl except for the color of her hair and the lack of scars on her face.

At this moment, everyone knew that the gladiator was Ciri, and then they found out that someone was going to arrest the little girl, and as a result, those people were killed and injured by the little girl, and the little girl also escaped from the arena, which was a topic of conversation in Kramont for a long time, after all, there are not many things that can see Dominique Bombastus Hofnal deflated.

After finding out the news, Cassirer and the others immediately returned to the hotel and told Geralt the news.

Geralt, hearing the news, ran to the arena with his steel sword in his hand, and wanted to settle accounts with the Dominique Bombastus Hofnar.

It's just that Dominique Bombastus Hofnar doesn't seem to be in the arena, and Geralt knows from the ordinary staff in the arena through the control of the witcher's seal, Dominique Bombastus Hofnar is no longer in the city at all, which makes Geralt angry and can't set off, so he can only stand outside the arena and wander, thinking about whether to destroy some Dominique Bombastus Hofnar's property to vent his anger.

When Sylvia and Leo were shopping just now, they also habitually inquired about some local information in Cramont, including information about Dominique Bonbastus Hofnar, and knew that this viscount was also a local salt official appointed by the Nilfergard Empire, and most of the money he now used to establish various industries came from salt.

So, Sylvia persuaded: "It's useless for you to destroy this place, it won't hurt his roots at all, these properties are just his sidelines, his main business is salt mines, unless it is a powerful nobleman, deprive him of his title, and take away his position, otherwise even if you destroy the whole Cramont, it will only be a loss of property for him." ”

Hearing Sylvia say this, although Geralt also felt that these words were reasonable, but his emotions still did not calm down, and when he thought that Ciri was arranged to fight people in this arena for life and death, his anger rose up.

"You guys, you guys, you dare to make trouble outside the Viscount's arena, I really don't know whether you are alive or dead," At this time, out of the alley, more than a dozen idlers and villains with weapons in their hands appeared, and these idlers and villains looked fierce one by one, and almost wrote the word bad guy on their faces, and the person in the lead shouted and walked towards Geralt and them, and pointed the weapon in his hand at Geralt, and said: " The arena just lacks a freak to attract the audience, and after catching you, I think the viscount should be happy to buy a freak like you for a high price and put it on display in the arena. As he spoke, he looked at Leo and Sylvia again, and said, "You two guys stole the armor inherited from my family, and you dare to show off here......

Sylvia didn't listen to the other party's nonsense at all, and said to Geralt, "I think they should be dealt with by you." ”

Geralt, who was already full of anger, didn't even think about it, and rushed towards the men with his steel sword.

Those idlers and villains didn't expect Geralt to strike first, they were all stunned for a moment, and before they came to their senses, they saw Geralt raise his hand and make a gesture, followed by an invisible force rushed over, those who did not stand firm all fell down at the moment when the invisible force fell on their bodies, and those who did not fall could not stand firm, and their minds were a little dizzy.

Before they could come to their senses, the steel sword in Geralt's hand had already been swung out, and with each swing of the long sword, a stream of blood splashed out, and a person fell to the ground, and in less than a moment, these idlers and villains all fell in a pool of blood.

Everyone around them watched all this in horror, and fled to the nearby shops and hid, and the street became quiet for a while.

After the killing, Geralt's anger was vented, and the person calmed down, and then turned to look at Angulan and the others with a worried face, and said, "Sorry for worrying you!"

"It's okay, uncle!" Angulan shook his head.

"We'd better get out of here. Cassirer said, looking at the corpse on the ground.

Geralt nodded.

The crowd hurried to the hotel, apparently unable to rest in the city for the night.

At this time, Leo, who never joked, suddenly said, "I wonder if your nickname will become the butcher of Clarmont?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Leo when they heard this, and they were a little speechless.

"You're really not fit to tell jokes. Sylvia smiled and shook her head.

The group quickly returned to the hotel, and without saying anything, they took out the horses and luggage directly from the stable, and rode directly out of the city.

Not long after Geralt and the others left, the town's vigilantes came to the hotel and asked Leo about their whereabouts, only to learn that they had all left, so they did not pursue them any further.

In Clarmont, a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, people die every day, and it is not too important, if the number of people who died this time is not very large, and it is a foreigner who did it, and it is outside the Viscount's arena, maybe the sheriff is still sleeping in his office and will not come here at all.

Like the countless cases that happened in Claremont, this case also turned into a street fight after a lot of tossing, and no one paid attention to it anymore.

After leaving Clarmont, the group set up camp in a forest clearing far from Clarmont, and when they set up camp, Geralt once again apologized to the people, if it wasn't for his impulsiveness, they should have been able to get enough rest by now.

In this regard, everyone said that they didn't need to care, anyway, they were used to resting in the wild.

After that, the group didn't talk for too long, and after eating some of the food sold in Cramont, they rested.

The next morning, the group packed their bags and continued on the road, heading in the direction of Stigar Castle.

Along the way, they encountered no obstacles, and it was very smooth, but because they were not familiar with the road, they ran to the wrong place, but fortunately they found it in time, and quickly turned back to the right road, until they came to the place where Stigar Castle was located in the evening.

Built on the edge of a cliff next to a lake, the castle of Stiga was built as a fortress, so the walls were so strong and so precipitous that it was impossible to penetrate from anywhere else until it was attacked through the main entrance.

By the moonlight, Geralt could see the guards patrolling back and forth on the castle walls, and he could see that they were very tightly guarded, as if they were protecting or guarding something, and from this it was clear that Vigo Fortez was most likely in the castle.

Geralt turned around and was about to discuss with everyone what to do, but Leo stood up and said: "Later, I will climb the city wall, and then solve the guards on the city wall, open the city gate, and you will attack through the main gate, but once the mechanism on the city gate is opened, the alarm will be triggered, and the other guards in the castle will be alarmed, and you will have to deal with many people." With that, he turned to Sylvia and said, "You can follow them later, with you, those guards shouldn't be a problem." ”

"What about you, what are you going to do with the guards?" asked Angooran, a little puzzled.

Leo said in a deep voice, "I'll go find the person holding my things, and if I'm not mistaken, that person should be Wigo Fortez." ”

Just now, when Geralt checked the situation of the guards through his eyes, Leo had already controlled all the situations in the castle through the spirit net, and also sensed the location of the remaining fragments of the Night God's Sigh through the tattoo behind him.

It's just that because of the interference of the Night God's sigh fragments, and the large amount of anti-magic metal in that place, his spiritual network can't specifically detect the situation inside, and can only vaguely sense a few people.

After hearing Leo's words, Geralt and the others also expressed no objection, and then the careful Sylvia reminded everyone to put the wizard healing potion that Leo gave them before in a place where they could drink it at any time, so that if they were injured in battle, they could drink the potion in time to treat the wound.

Leo took off his cloak, threw it on the ground, and quickly rushed towards the castle wall.

Although he was wearing a heavy piece of armor, his movements were still as nimble as a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye he was already under the city wall, and then he was seen kicking the ground hard, jumping up, and then casting a psionic blast downward, rushing himself into the air, and after reaching the height of the city wall, he rolled over and crossed in.

At the same time, the two abyssal swords in his hands were also withdrawn, directly splitting a nearby guard soldier who had not yet reacted in half, and then threw out the big sword in his hand and stabbed it on the heads of the two guard knights.

After drawing his greatsword, Leo grabbed the torch from the brazier and shook it in the air to notify the other side, then jumped down the wall, pulling the hinges that closed the gates and gates.

Although the moment he pulled the hinge, the castle sounded a shrill bell, but it did not affect him, I saw him quickly turn the winch, the castle gate and gate all opened, Geralt and others rushed in from the outside, at this time, some of the guards closest to the city gate had rushed out.

Compared to Geralt, Sylvia's movements were faster, she directly took out the repeating hand crossbow, and quickly shot deadly arrows, and when Geralt and the others fought each other, half of them had already fallen.

However, Leo didn't look at the battle situation here, quickly jumped up from the ground, used several psionic impacts one after another, spread his psionic wings to let himself glide in the air, directly crossed the bottom of the castle, flew to the top of a tall tower on the upper floor of the castle, and then turned over and jumped in from the window of the tower, and saw several people in the tower at the moment.
