Chapter 340: Separate Actions
"What's the matter, amorous Mr. White Wolf, still thinking about my four companions?" quipped Edward as he looked at the absent-minded Geralt on the way to Heatherton Village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"No, it's just that there are so many miracles you've shown me today. Geralt paused and said, "Maybe I should call you the Miracle Child?"
"If you join the Knights of the Demon Hunters, you can also perform such miracles. Edward said in a joking tone, "With your gifts, I believe that my path of light is a good fit for you. ”
"If you tell me the names of those four girls, I can think about it. Geralt was silent for a moment, then said in a joking tone.
Edward laughed and shook his head, "Geralt, I've seen something in the Muggle world that is a good description of you. ”
"What is it?"
"Pile Driver ......"
............
The joke between the two could not continue when they arrived at Heatharton Village. Because they saw the picture of the burned houses, a pack of rabid dogs gnawing at the corpses of the villagers. And the environment here is very strange, it is a very hot day, but it is bitterly cold, and even the houses that were destroyed by the fire are covered with ice and snow.
Enraged, Edward and Geralt easily dealt with the rabid dogs and found a panicked surviving villager in a fairly intact house.
"Calm down! Geralt calmed him down with his Yakshiphama seal and asked, "What's going on here? Who attacked here!"
"Obviously, it's a wild hunt. The villagers were still gasping and speechless, Edward looked at the surroundings and said, "There is a large amount of ice elemental mana left here, and I can't think of any other organization that can use this kind of magic on a large scale." ”
"Yes! a wraith on horseback!" the villager recalled in horror, "and that evening, a group of wraiths on horseback arrived, captured and tortured Handrick, and then burned down our houses and killed all the villagers they saw!"
Geralt and Edward glanced at each other, Geralt went to Hendrick's house alone to look for clues, while Edward stayed behind to reassure the villagers.
"Are there any other survivors here?" Edward asked, healing the villager with a soft light.
"Yes, they are all hiding in the cellar. The villager looked at Edward carefully, and it seemed that Edward's temperament made him feel good, and he thought for a while before nodding.
"Let them out. Edward smiled gently, "This place has been destroyed, you can go to the south of the Crossroads Inn." There, there is a rock giant and a demon hunter camp guarded by four female warriors. ”
"No need to be afraid, they will protect you from any hazards, there are also warm and comfortable beds and delicious food. ”
The villagers looked at Edward suspiciously, as if they didn't believe that there was such a place, and hurried away.
"Bad news. After a while, Geralt walked out of Khatrick's house and said, "We were a step too late, Wild Hunt killed Hentrick and tortured Ciri. ”
"Is there any news from Hermione?" asked Edward.
"Yes, the clue I found is that Ciri and a young mage became guests of the Blood Baron. Geralt said, holding a notebook, "Another clue is that two young girls and a witch clashed. The royal agent also saw intense magical fights. ”
"Now there are two threads and we have two people. Edward said, "Are we going to split up?"
"Alright, let's split up, with or without results, and we'll meet at your demon hunter camp in five days. Geralt stared at Edward for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"So, do you choose to go to the Baron's castle or to find the witch?" said Edward with a smile, before Geralt could reply, "I think you must be trying to find the witch." ”
"You know me, Mr. Demon Hunter. Geralt didn't shy away from saying, "Although you are strong, you don't seem to be good at dealing with women, and I am the opposite. So, I'm better suited to look for the witch clue. ”
"Before we part, does Mr. White Wolf need to accept the gift of my friend? Edward took out a ball of skill light, which was given to the light ball by the relatively rudimentary way of holy light, "This ball of light can make you instantly understand how to use the holy light. Rather than using two swords in trouble, the Light can bless your iron sword with a divine power, and it can be more effective against demons than the silver sword. ”
"Is this a power from within me?" asked Geralt.
"Yes, my Light comes from my own heart of faith. Edward explained, "The stronger your faith, the faster and stronger you will be to learn the Way of Light." This is different from the source of the strength of those churches, which is completely their own strength. ”
"What do I need to do?" Geralt asked with a serious look at Edward for a moment before finally nodding.
"It's okay to relax the whole body, rest assured, there are no side effects. With that, Edward pressed the orb of light to Geralt's body.
Geralt closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again and said, "What an amazing professor's technique, if I had met you earlier, I probably wouldn't have had to go through that damn trial." ”
"That's different. Although this is a technique that I have given, it also requires your own understanding and application. Edward laughed, "Now you believe me?"
"Yes, so far, you haven't lied. Geralt looked at his glowing hand and said, "I'm grateful that you've opened up a new path for me, but I still need to think about joining your Demon Hunter Knights." ”
"It's not a deal, my friend. Edward smiled, "It's just a gift from me, and it has nothing to do with whether or not you join the Order." ”
"Anyway, I'm glad to meet you, Edward. Geralt patted Edward on the shoulder, calling out his name earnestly for the first time.
"Then we'll see you in five days at the Demon Hunter Camp. Edward smiled, turned and jumped on his horse.
............
A day later, when Edward arrived at the Crow's Nest, the castle of the Bloody Baron, he was confronted with a heavily defended scene.
A large number of soldiers gathered to patrol the village in front of the castle, and behind the wooden walls were guarded by archers, their expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, and they looked into the air from time to time.
Edward brazenly appeared at the gate of the castle and was immediately surrounded by several bows and arrows aimed at him at the same time.
"What are you, what are you doing here!" one of the soldiers asked warily, "Look at your equipment, it looks like the four women guarding the rock giant!"
"Yes, I am their chief. Edward said without any nervousness, "I'm here to talk to your Baron and find two people by the way. ”
"Damn it, kill him!" the leader of the soldiers, who had apparently suffered from the four Rogges, ordered as soon as he saw Edward explain his identity. (To be continued.) )
