"Is that so?" Triss frowned, her tone skeptical. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The appearance of the girl in front of her was not much different from what she remembered, and she had the same name, but she was an impostor, which made her feel very incredible.
"You mean there's a sorceress named Sophie in the vicinity of here, disguised as a nun?"
"Yes, do you know her?"
"I don't know. β
Disappointed in her answer, Ciri felt like she was caught up in something terrible by Sophie. During the conversation just now, Ciri knew that the woman in front of her, who was also red-haired, was also a sorceress, and she wanted to learn about Sophie from the other party, but she was very disappointed.
"This seal is now not broken by an external force, but by internal factors. Compared to the ignorance of the demon hunter, the sorceress's answer was much more professional.
At least I can tell the reason why the seal on this pocket watch was damaged.
"I think it's because the Grass Trial has tainted your bloodline, and although I want to change the word, such as change, I think it is more appropriate to defile. The pocket watch shook in the sorceress's hand, and the bright red magic circle swayed in Ciri's eyes.
It was like the sword of Damocles hovering over Ciri's head, which made her very uncomfortable.
"So can you tell me what kind of changes have happened to you? To be clear, maybe we can help you understand what kind of blood is in you. The sincere vision made Ciri feel trusted, but the two sides only met temporarily, and Ciri was still very wary.
"I don't know. "Lying can keep her face open, which is why she has been able to survive on the battlefield for ten years.
"It's a shame we can't help you......" The sorceress's gaze seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making Ciri feel that the lie had been exposed by the other party.
"I'm glad you were able to provide me with the information, but I know that Siel Thansavier knows all the sorceresses of the North, and I think you'll be able to find the answer in her, who is in her room on the second floor of the inn. "As Ciri was about to leave, the Demon Hunter provided a message to Ciri.
"Thank you. β

The conversation in the hotel left Ciri confused and puzzled, it was one thing to have an alternative sex reassignment surgery, but it was another to know that her current body was in shape.
The reason for this baffled her, and the lack of intelligence analysis was nothing more than pointless conjecture.
In addition to Sophie's affairs, Ciri is more concerned about the pocket watch hanging around his neck, and the seal that exists in name only, and the mystery of his life history over the years now appears in his mind again.
Ciri never met her father, but lived with her mother for eight years, until one day, her mother disappeared, leaving only a pocket watch hanging around her neck, once the last inheritance that her parents left to their children, and now the truth is revealed, and Ciri believes that it is the shackles that have imprisoned her for many years.
The recent battle with the bandits gave her a different feeling, a sense of being able to manipulate time and space at will: the passage of time slows down, but she is able to pass through it at a normal speed, the place where she is fully focused can be reached in an instant, and the instantaneous change of scenery brings unprecedented excitement.
The details of the battle reappeared in her mind, and although they were fleeting, they felt like she was addicted to drugs.
"Miss Mercenary, this is what you deserve. The businessman's voice pulls Ciri back to reality from his useless thoughts and memories.
The jingling of coins in the money bag made her feel a little comforted, and now the most important thing is to earn money!
"Thank you, Mr. President. Politely taking the money bag given to him by the other party, Ciri did not expect to get the other party's money so easily, after all, he had only received a bounty from the other party not long ago.
"No, this is a bounty in my personal name. This is a very important shipment, and if it weren't for the help of the young lady, I would definitely have lost a lot. The emotion seemed to penetrate the thick lens, and the materialized gratitude made it difficult for Ciri to adapt.
"Those are arms, not to mention heavy losses, there is your place on the gallows......" Changing his mind slightly, Ciri accepted the other party's reward calmly.
"Miss Mercenary, I have a mission I don't know if you can complete it?"
"Say, remuneration and content. β
"Reward for a thousand Oren......"
"I'll take it!" Without any thought, Ciri took over the other party's task, and as for what it was, she didn't ask at all.
What is the concept of 1,000 Oren?Ciri was born and died on the battlefield for ten years to earn 5,000 Oren, and in the ninth year, she donated 2,000 Oren to the Knights to obtain the status of a knight, although she defected within a few days.
Completing this task would save Ciri two years of struggle, and the huge reward would make her way of thinking not quite normal. Taking on the task without understanding the content of the task has always been the most taboo practice for mercenaries.
"What the hell is the mission?" "Ciri, who had calmed down, now finally had to think about the risks of the mission.
"There's been a giant octopus tentacle in the river lately, and it's been sabotaging my ships several times, and it's preventing my caravan from leaving the port, and I think you can destroy it or drive it away. The merchant set his sights on the harbor not far away, where he was troubled by the mountains of goods.
"Before that, a sorceress and demon hunter had accepted this mission, but their asking price was so high that I could hardly afford it. The cloud of helplessness hidden in the lenses lingered in his eyes.
"What is their asking price?"
"A Thousand Orren ......"
β...... Each. The uneasy and kind pause made Ciri feel less favorable to the merchant in front of him.
The merchant wanted Ciri to mistakenly think that he could offer five hundred Oren each to the Demon Hunter and the Sorceress, so that the mercenary lady would not hesitate to accept the task.
After all, Ciri's performance just now looks like she really wants this kind of brainless woman.
"I need to think about it. "Rewards and risks exist, and Heary knows this better than anyone else.
The nature of a businessman, as Ciri knows, is always looking to get the most out of the least amount of resources. Ciri doesn't want to be tricked by the other party, this task is obviously worth two thousand Oren, and now the other party wants a thousand Oron to complete.
"So be it. I tell you about the location of the sorceress, and you tell her that I introduced her to see if she wants to work with you. The quill in the inkwell hanging from his chest was taken out by the other party, and he quickly wrote on the paper beside him, and soon a rudimentary letter of introduction was in Ciri's hand.
The merchant used the strong smell of ink on the white paper to add fuel to Ciri's achievements, and looking at the magic version on it, Ciri didn't recognize that it was his own doing.
Dig your heart and bones, and a sword will erode for dozens of miles. The businessman's brain hole and discipline are comparable to that of an online writer.

"Are you a very powerful sorceress?" said the sorceress named Siel Tansavieh looked at the inexplicably visiting Ciri with disdain.
Ciri was helpless against the sorceress's contempt, if it weren't for this undisciplined letter of introduction, the sorceress in front of her wouldn't want to meet Ciri at all.
"No, I'm not as good as I said I was. Unable to bear the other party's gaze, Ciri could only explain immediately.
"I can see that I don't trust you, you don't know your name, and Geralt is famous, and Geralt is a professional, but you are a layman. The paper in his hand was thrown to the ground.
"Unless you can prove your worth, I'm not going to work with someone who doesn't know your roots. β
"Okay. β
The negotiations broke down, or that Heary never thought that this one would succeed in the first place - this letter of introduction cut off her hopes of negotiating.
However, this letter of introduction also has the advantage of allowing Ciri to meet the sorceress in front of her.
The dress of this sorceress in front of him made Ciri dare not compliment. The facial features are good, and the brown skin makes her look healthy and energetic, but it is a little difficult for the other party to wrap her hair and make two zongzi that look like horns......
"If there's nothing to do, please get out, I still have something to do......" From the moment she threw away the paper, Xi'er used a pair of "horns" on her head to face Ciri.
"Wait, I'd like to know about a sorceress, and I'll pay you. Although the other party issued an eviction order, Ciri did not act according to the other party's requirements, and the one in front of him was the sorceress mentioned by the demon hunter Geralt, and now is the best opportunity for him to learn the information.
Xi'er, who was concentrating on writing, stopped the quill in his hand and looked at the strange girl next to him with inexplicable eyes.
"I don't sell the privacy of my peers as a commodity. β
