Chapter 52: Don't Call Me Child

Inside the inn at Hundred Fruit Garden, Josh and Ciri sit together, while Geralt and Viselmir are opposite them.

The inn is very warmly furnished, with groups of people sitting at the tables, drinking to themselves, chatting with each other about topics of interest, or playing Gwent cards with each other.

Josh's table looked weird because they hadn't even drunk the wine yet.

"Do you have any questions? Reasonable, shouldn't you ask about the location of your old lover now? Looking at Geralt, who had been staring at him, Josh shrugged helplessly.

"It seems that you know me very well, and what is your purpose in following me." Geralt ignored Josh's words and looked at him with a more serious expression.

"Okay, okay, I can't stand you anymore. Just to introduce it briefly, my name is Josh and her name is "

"Daenerys, you've already introduced you, there's no need to repeat it again. I'd love to know what your purpose is and why you're following me. ”

"Alright Geralt, since you want to know, I'll tell you about it." Josh picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, all the while thinking quickly about what to do with Geralt.

I have to say that although Geralt was yin by Josh, he was obviously not so willing.

Although he allowed Josh and them to follow, and he didn't deliberately embarrass them, everyone could see that this guy was dissatisfied, and he really wanted to know why these two people were following him.

Probably because of his instinct as a witcher, he always felt that Josh's purpose was not so simple.

He could feel the power of Josh from the moment he appeared, this man was not simple, especially the griffon, which symbolized the ominous griffin, turned his head and ran, all of this was so strange.

"Actually, we're here on commission." Josh quickly figured it out and spoke very painfully.

"Commissioned by someone? Who? ”

"Probably some time ago, a girl suddenly appeared in front of us, and she was in a very bad condition. So we rescued her, oh yes, she had the same long silver hair as Daenerys. ”

"Is it Ciri?"

Geralt listened attentively to Josh's words, not noticing that the silver-haired girl named Daenerys rolled her eyes.

Of course, Geralt won't believe everything Josh said, even if Josh's temporary display of power is indeed very terrifying, but a witcher is a witcher, and he can't choose to be silent because of such a situation.

"Yes, she said her name was Hiria."

"Go on, Your Excellency the Magician."

"She said she could fulfill one of my requests that she could, and in exchange it would be to help her get rid of the hunt that hunted her down and kept causing killing."

"Solve the wild hunt?"

At this point, Geralt basically believed that the wild hunt might not be a secret to them, not even to the people of this world. It's just that only a few people may know who the wild hunt is chasing.

This guy in front of him must have seen Ciri, otherwise he wouldn't have said this name.

However, Geralt shook his head in the end: "I'm sorry, although I'd love to believe that what you say is true." But I don't think Ciri would be ignorant enough to invite someone she didn't know well to help, especially something that dangerous. ”

"You know that Wild Hunt is a dangerous and troublesome opponent for us?"

Josh smiled disdainfully, to be honest, did he feel that he was acting too harmless to humans and animals, so that no one else could feel his deterrent power?

But such an idea was quickly put away by Josh, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, anyway, this kind of thing is not said.

"Do you think Ciri will be a fool? Without figuring out our power, she will easily find us? And made such a heavy promise? ”

Josh waved his hand, and silver magic immediately surged out.

They kept spinning on the table, and finally turned into Ciri's appearance, Geralt didn't know how long it had been since he had seen Ciri, but when he saw the figure on the table that was vividly condensed with magical power, the whole person suddenly looked a little sluggish.

"Hihiri?"

"Otherwise, what do you think, and why do you think the griffin with the dead companion would run away when it saw us? You know, the perception of beasts is many times stronger than that of humans, I heard that your nickname is the white wolf, but why didn't I feel your wolf-like acuity? ”

A griffin with a dead mate? Geralt was a little silent, he knew how terrible such a beast was, such a beast could be scared away, so what kind of exaggerated power did this person have to make these guys afraid.

Shaking his head, Geralt sighed, "I'm sorry, I'd love to believe you, but there are some things I have to confirm." ”

"Do you want to find your old lover Yennefer to confirm?"

Josh shrugged his shoulders indifferently, in fact, Geralt had come to this place in the first place to find Yennefer.

It was only through Yennefer that he learned about Ciri's current situation, and went down to find Ciri at the request of Enhil.

Now Geralt really can't confirm the actual situation of Ciri, and Josh certainly knows his situation.

It's just that Josh is also an anxious person, since he has encountered it, then he should make things clear first, otherwise he really won't be able to get on Geralt's car.

Did you secretly follow Geralt, wait for him to wait for the answer, and tell him in front of him: I was your daughter who came to help?

Forget it, Josh doesn't have the time to wait, so it's better to join in the first place and wait for him to confirm what he's saying.

"I did keep looking for Yennefer, how do you know?"

"Is it hard? Am I going to do something that doesn't first investigate some of the client's relevant information? Don't be kidding, Geralt, I've been aware of your information for a long time. ”

"Really?"

"Guess what?"

Geralt sighed, looking like he had acquiesced.

However, Josh thinks that this guy is planning to learn the specific situation after meeting Yennefa, so he will gradually believe in Josh and the two.

In this world, trust is sometimes equal to death, after all, this is really not a safe place.

Quelling Geralt's curiosity for the time being, Josh didn't say anything more to him - he had his own things to do, such as asking about Yennefer here.

Josh, on the other hand, sat still, knowing that Yennefer was there even until the woman was about to appear, so he didn't need to look for it at all.

"Are you really found by Ciri?" Sitting in his seat, Viselmir asked with some curiosity.

"Of course, otherwise do you think I've come all the way here to find you?" Josh picked up the glass and took a sip, the taste of this wine was honestly not very good, but Josh was not picky either.

What kind of wine Josh hasn't drunk? What's more, for him, there is really no difference between wine and water.

"Judging by what you're wearing, and your behavior and temperament, you're a nobleman, aren't you?"

"Uh-huh, yes."

"A nobleman as a mercenary?"

"Because I'm going to do something really interesting, I'm using that title for the time being. Of course, if you're willing to help me, I'll give you something you wish for. ”

Viselmir smiled, this young man was really honest. What do you want?

As the oldest Demon Hunter, he was over four hundred years old, even older than the Demon Hunter's Training Castle, Kyle Mohan, and he really didn't know what he hoped for.

"Oh, tell me what I hope for? Didn't you say that you had already investigated the people around Ciri? Do you know who I am? ”

"Of course you do, Lord Viselmere."

Josh nodded, he really knew this person, and he was quite impressed.

And Josh felt that if he wanted to successfully establish a mercenary group here, I am afraid that the help of the locals was really indispensable, and this person Josh was still thinking about it before.

There are actually a lot of people Josh can choose from, but now, Josh thinks that the person in front of him seems to be good!

As for how to convince him, Josh really didn't know, but as a person, even if he had already become a witcher, Josh thought that they had their own needs and ideas.

"Viselmir can be regarded as the oldest demon hunter now, the only survivor of the last demon hunter massacre, and the only wolf demon hunter who understands the trial of grass. Proficient in swordsmanship, swordsmithing, and alchemy, although he is old, it is said that he is more than 400 years old, but he is still engaged in the business of demon hunters, and spends the winter in Kellmohan every winter. ”

"Also, you're Geralt and Askell's teacher, and you've taught Ciri. That's about it. ”

Viselmir frowned, but finally nodded: "Very detailed, it seems that you have indeed done a lot of investigative work." ”

"It's not so much an investigation, but rather that I'm thinking about something else before I come here." Josh smiled, not caring at all about this old man's attitude: "As a senior demon hunter of the wolf faction, you have enough strength, experience, and ability, so I was also thinking at the time, if I want to set up a mercenary army here, who should I recruit to help." ”

"So you met me, and at the same time combined with the information, you think I am the most suitable?" Viselmir said what Josh wanted to say at once, but the mockery on his face could be seen by everyone: "Sorry boy, I'm afraid I'm not the best person for you, I'm a witcher, and I'm also old." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse." As if he didn't understand his face, Josh continued: "It's not a problem to be old, it's a matter of your personal will. If you want, I can always restore you to your twenty-year-old body – not what it looks like on the surface, but what it really is. ”

"You"

"Also, don't call me a child. Maybe I'm a little older than you know. ”
