Chapter 405: I Broke the Cat Bone
The Silver Sword will guide John on his way.
After a period of travel, he walked out of the Blue Mountains.
Along the way, he killed many magical creatures.
Among them is a magical creature that resembles a praying mantis and has a high resistance to magic.
John had gained a lot in Kellmohan, and he benefited greatly from the fighting methods of the witchers and the special potions.
In terms of alchemy, he could feel the uplift.
The alchemy of the witcher collided with the alchemy of the wizard, giving him a hunch.
By the time you leave this world, you may be able to reach level 7.
The reworked Meteor Shoes gave him the ability to fly, but he was still used to riding on horseback.
Polo also became a little lazy after the winter.
John thought it might have been a crush on Geralt's mare.
"There is a chance for you to make your dreams come true." John patted Polo on the head.
Use mind magic to transmit your thoughts to Polo and bring the horse back to its senses.
Polo has been given a new horseshoe so that it doesn't hurt the horse's hooves on gravel roads.
A group of soldiers ran by.
"The continent is going to war."
John's eyes sank, he was now in the kingdom of Livia.
On the way, he heard a message.
There was a place called Sintra that was attacked.
A massacre kills Queen Sintra, known as the Lioness.
A country in the south does not know when it had such power.
War has always been cruel, and this is consistent both in the original world and in this world.
The Witcher remains neutral and will not engage in any war.
John, though not an orthodox witcher, is also neutral.
He would sometimes pay out of his own pocket to buy information about magical creatures from the War Kids, and despite his repeated emphasis on the fact that it was a deal, the men remembered the generous traveler.
His reputation seems to have changed for the better along the way, and the black witcher Adani has a name for mercy.
John watched the soldiers move forward, recalling the time he spent with Geralt.
"As I recall, Geralt seems to have an unexpected son in Sintra."
He pondered for a moment, then drew his silver sword and looked at it.
The seventh rune was only a little darker than the previous six as he slain the magical creatures.
"There's no destination anyway, so let's go over there."
He rode a horse and carried a sword, and sometimes he could be seen robbers taking advantage of the fire, and without exception he would become one of the legends of the Black Witcher.
Starting from Redania and passing through the Blue Mountains, John's path was explored by some well-intentioned people.
Among them, there is a wizard.
Strygbu.
His feet were severed by the mutant daughter Frei, and his body was severely damaged.
However, the wizard's physique was unusual, and he escaped and returned to the island of Sunid, where the Brotherhood is located.
There, he explained his fate to the wizards.
The difference is that yes, he is a victim.
And the Black Witcher and the Mutant Daughter committed a felony in Balvey.
"They intended to slaughter a city."
When Strygab said this, all the wizards present felt the same way.
A mutated daughter who is seen as a monster, and a witcher who is considered a monster.
Together, they had Master Strygob cut off his feet and his hands.
"It's an evil act." A dark-skinned wizard who doesn't seem to have a low status.
Strygab used his illusion to conjure up his hands and feet, and the corners of his mouth rose when he heard this.
But he did a good job of suppressing the pleasure.
"I propose that you should be prepared to get rid of that devilish witcher."
He accuses the Black Witcher of his crimes, putting him on the opposite side of the Brotherhood.
Only he knows what he's thinking.
The witcher who could use powerful magic was more necessary to study than the mutated daughter Frei.
He thought it was a curse, an unusual curse that made an unusual witcher.
The crowd discussed.
"We need to get things done in Nilfgaard." A wizard retorted to him.
"There is no difference between them," said Strigeb haughtily, "they are all butchers, slaughtering a city." ”
"Nilfgaard is even more dangerous, they recruit wizards and plan terrible wars."
The wizard continued, "The witchers will not participate, they remain neutral. ”
The wizards of the Brotherhood looked at each other.
But the arrogance that belongs to the wizards keeps them from taking a kingdom in their eyes.
For behind them stood the whole Northern Kingdom.
Such an attitude made one of the witches present fall into deep thought.
...
John was unaware of the sorcerer's quarrel.
Because he saw the great damage caused by this war.
"These scenes, which have fallen into the records of later generations, are far from being able to depict the real impact in written records."
John leaves Livia, who is throwing a dead deer down.
It was a merchant's family, the man was out and a woman was left with her children.
As John threw down the dead deer, the daughter looked nervously at the sword behind his back.
"Can you tell me about the monsters in the neighborhood?" John asked the girl.
The girl didn't look like a peasant girl.
A high forehead, neat eyebrow arches, and a wide distance between the eyes.
The hair color is white.
John looked down at the other man's hand again, his fingers were delicate, not like a delicate person who could be raised in such a place.
However, he didn't care, and he decided to light the seventh rune before leaving for Sintra.
In the wild, wild deer are much more useful than gold.
John threw a dead deer down, alarming the mistress who was in the house.
Christine saw the stranger and thought it was a bad visitor.
In times of war, there are many people who do ridiculous things.
She instinctively wary of John, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she learned of John's deal.
After all, orphans and widows are still a little nervous when they see a person with a weapon in hand.
"You're looking for monsters, in a reed field past here, where there are three strange cats eating corpses." When Christine spoke of the body, the little girl's body trembled.
John nodded and said, "If it's true, then our deal can be happily concluded." ”
He looked at the woman and said, "I want someone to lead the way." ”
Christine was a little embarrassed, she didn't really want to go out with someone with a weapon.
At this moment, the girl who was the first to be questioned spoke, "I'll take you." ”
"Ciri." Christine spoke to her adopted daughter.
The white-haired Ciri showed a firmness that was different from that of an ordinary girl, and she said, "I'll take you there, and you'll give the deer first." ”
"Of course." John said, the kid who looked about the same age as the first year of Hogwarts.
Despite his appearance, John was actually less than sixteen years old.
He held out his hand to Ciri, "I hope you don't mind sharing a horse with me." ”
"Of course not." Ciri took the hand and was pulled on John's horse.
Christine was still worried, but Ciri reassured her.
"Let's go."
Ciri reaches out and grabs the reins, and John releases his hand, letting Ciri control Polo.
Ciri had ridden horses, and none of those horses were as smooth as this one.
As I passed the trail on one side, there was a sound of a collapse next to it.
But the horse was not afraid in the slightest, and did not even turn his head.
This surprised Ciri, who asked curiously, "What's the name of this horse?" ”
"Polo." John did not touch his hand on the girl, but tried not to approach himself.
"Polo?" Ciri tentatively called for names.
But Polo didn't react, which made her very depressed.
"It's deaf, so it can't hear." John said casually, "How long is it coming, Ciri?" ”
Ciri looked ahead, a little dissatisfied with John's contemptuous tone, and said, "Over the front." ”
All right.
John felt like he wasn't going to walk off his horse, so he kept a position not to touch Ciri's waist.
Ciri noticed it too, and she was a little surprised.
She still has an idea of her appearance.
Originally, she volunteered to lead the way for John's dead deer.
After escaping from Sintra, she was adopted by Christiede, an adoptive mother who treated her well and treated her equally.
So she wants to repay the other party as much as she can.
Now she suppressed the dissatisfaction with John's demeanor just now.
"Here we are." She grabbed the reins and stopped.
John dismounted and looked, and it was a field of reeds.
As the sun approached the set, shadows cast into the reeds, and crows made unpleasant calls.
It looks weird here.
Ciri dismounted, trying to keep himself calm, but couldn't help but stand behind John and whispered, "Those three strange cats appeared and wandered here three days ago. ”
John found human bones on the tree, with signs of gnawing.
"Stay behind me." Speaking to Ciri, John drew his sword from his back.
Ciri sees John's back, giving people a sense of security.
They went into the reeds.
John tapped his sword to the ground, and an invisible wave was transmitted.
Before Ciri could react, John turned around and grabbed Ciri's shoulder and pressed it.
The silver light floated above Ciri, and the terrible meow of the cat made people shudder.
A drop of blood fell on Ciri's ear.
She turned her head and saw a blood cat the size of an ocelot hanging there with a sword piercing.
The cat was silent, and followed John as they entered the reeds.
If it weren't for John, Ciri's neck would have been torn apart by the blood cat.
...
Some people died, but not completely......
