Chapter 67: The Bloody Baron
"Tell me, what the hell did you find?"
The Bloody Baron touched his neck, which was still a little uncomfortable, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, while he also took out a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth. The Bloody Baron was a heavy drinker, and Josh knew that.
After the Bloody Baron was directly hung by Josh with magic not long ago, this guy knew that he was definitely no match for these people in front of him, and in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he decided to have a good talk with these people.
Anyway, they were indeed looking for themselves alone, so he simply let these people into his room. Even if there is any trouble, he will bear it alone.
Josh and the others knew what this guy was thinking, so they simply followed.
Along the way, Josh also paid special attention to the residents in the outer layers of Raven Castle. Although the movement they made was so great that the residents were all in their somewhat dilapidated houses, they only dared to poke their heads out to take a look.
But it was enough, the inhabitants here were not as well-dressed as those who lived outside the city, and there were still many old people and children, and in any case the refugees who had lost their families to the war, which made Josh feel a lot more fond of the bloody baron.
After all, although this is the case in the game, God knows how much the gap will be in reality.
Now it seems that this gap is basically non-existent, and even the game avoids a negative experience for players due to various reduced maps, resulting in a more magnificent realistic scene, simply put, this baron takes in more people than in the game.
"Looks like you care about these ordinary people, even though your name isn't very good. Also, you'll lose everything by drinking like this. Josh looked at the guy drinking and shook his head.
"Drinking is my business, and just because I've been involved in the war doesn't mean I have no mercy for the ordinary residents, so let's get down to business."
"You're doing a good job, but it would be much better if your men were with you. Okay, let's get down to business, we're looking for someone, a silver-haired girl, we know you saved her, right? ”
The baron nodded, and of course he had an impression of the silver-haired girl Josh was talking about, because it wasn't that long ago at all.
As for Josh's men's problems, the baron was also very helpless, because he could guess what was going on.
Looking at the girl who also had long silver hair, and looking at the beautiful face, the baron couldn't think of what was going on, so he could kill himself.
To put it bluntly, it is the intention of seeing wealth and seeing sex, and as for the death of the baron, there is not much melancholy.
After all, they were just a bunch of murderers and robbers, and if it weren't for the sake of maintaining his rule, as a veteran of the battlefield all year round, he really didn't bother to take them in.
Of course, since he took in, the gesture that should be made still has to be done, otherwise what would he do to make this group of guys obey?
"Yes, but I wonder why you're looking for her." The baron was still more vigilant, and did not immediately tell Josh what they wanted.
"She's the daughter of this witcher behind me."
"Don't lie to me, witchers are fertile too?"
“.... Well, adopted daughter. There are some things that you know and don't say because they hurt. ”
“......”
Geralt raised an eyebrow, and Ciri looked at Josh with the same strange look.
Josh didn't care about such a look, or he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the corner of the bloody baron's mouth twitched, and then quickly regained his composure.
"Well, I trust you. That little girl saved my life, and since you say you are her relatives, then I am happy to reunite you. At this point, the baron paused suddenly: "But ......"
"Straight to the point, don't try to beat around the bush with me, and I'm in a hurry." Josh knew that this guy still had something to ask for his own people, so Josh said very dryly: "Of course, don't try to delay time with us, I can let you tell me everything I want to know, don't doubt it, I'm a magician." ”
"Of course, Your Excellency. I'm called the Bloody Baron, but as you can see, I'm just bloody with my enemies. The baron nodded: "It's just that recently my wife and daughter have suddenly disappeared, and I have not been in the mood to deal with anything. ”
"Disappear?" Geralt touched his chin, curious as to what was going on.
"Yes, it's gone. I woke up one day and they were gone. The baron lowered his head in a low mood, trying to hide some other emotion.
"It's not a good thing to lie, it's not a good thing between either of us."
Geralt looked at the baron's expression and knew that this guy was not telling the truth, as soon as he came into contact with this type of thing, Geralt involuntarily took over the leadership of Josh, and Josh was not surprised by this.
Geralt's ability in this area is very strong, otherwise Josh wouldn't have found a way to let this guy go to his own territory and try to do a job similar to a police officer, so this guy suddenly took the lead Josh didn't care about anything.
Geralt's words made the baron silent for a long time, but the guy still emphasized that his wife and daughter disappeared instead of running away, which gave Geralt a little headache.
However, this is the baron's family matter, and Geralt can't take care of it so much, he just needs to confirm that the baron's wife and daughter are on the run.
"Take me to their room, but tell me about Ciri before that."
"Of course." Seeing that Geralt was not dwelling on these things, the baron also sighed: "The first time I met her, I was brought by the villagers who lived in my castle, who crossed down the dry tributaries of the Pontar River, slew many forest monsters, and saved one of my men, as well as a lost little girl. ”
"It was a poor little girl, her family seemed to have been killed by the wolf king of the forest, and I took her in and let her live here."
"Is that so?" Geralt touched his chin, then said in a deep voice, "And then?" Is Ciri injured? ”
"She looked as pitiful as a reservoir dog, so I took her in and took care of her for a few days."
"And then?"
"No more, Mr. Witcher." The baron shook his head: "Our relationship is not good enough to help each other unconditionally, so I must seize this information in my favor." If you want to know more, you have to show some sincerity. ”
"Okay, I see."
Geralt sighed, knowing it would be useless to ask.
Turning his head to look at Josh, he saw that the guy was talking to the girl named Daenerys in a language he had never heard before, which made him shake his head helplessly.
"Can you show us their room?"
"Of course, come with me."
Geralt followed the Baron upstairs, and Josh and Ciri followed.
Soon they were in this room, and the baron took one look at it and walked out, this room was already full of people, and he would have felt extremely sad to be here.
"Looks like we won't be able to find Ciri without helping him this time." Geralt sighed helplessly, he couldn't refuse this kind of thing.
"Indeed, didn't you notice that he was so enthusiastic when he found out that you were a witcher?" Josh said with a smile.
"I found out a long time ago, of course, I was scared by you before, and then I noticed that I would tell these things."
"Of course, this guy is actually quite interesting."
Not only interesting, Josh even thinks that this bloody baron is a very brilliant character in The Wizard III.
In the plot of The Witcher III, there are many memorable characters, and Bloody Baron Lip Strengue is definitely the best of it.
When Josh played here, he was also a fan of this fat man who was not good-looking and had a very bad first impression.
The reason is simple, because this guy's contradictory personality and what he did are really worth remembering.
The Bloody Baron, judging by the title he gave himself, certainly did not treat his subordinates and others kindly.
And then in fact, he treats the civilians innocently caught up in the war well, especially with young women and children, showing a sincere and fatherly appearance, which is quite contradictory to his robber-like appearance and terrible nickname.
And the crow village he ruled was quite orderly, and the domestic violence was only because his wife cheated.
After burying his unborn daughter, he seemed to have a light in his eyes after turning her into a family goblin.
Josh felt that he was just a poor man who wanted to get his wife and daughter back.
He did something wrong, and the years of war made this veteran happy without drinking, and after the war, he returned to his hometown with a scar and the smell of alcohol, only to find that his wife had already gone out of the wall.
Killing his wife's lover was a "mistake" and not a "wrong hand", of course, Josh believes that he may still do it if he is given another choice, and Josh will do the same, and even Josh may kill the so-called wife together!
When the loss of his wife and daughter also made him regret everything he had done, he tried his best to make amends.
When he knew his wife's location and situation, he rushed to the place with people non-stop, and his wife was cursed to death and turned into a monster who was not a ghost or a ghost, and he was only distressed at this time.
He is flesh and blood, clever, and likes to bargain with Geralt.
He was very romantic, and his wife liked flowers and he planted a whole garden. He was kind and risked a wild hunt to save Ciri.
The most impressive thing is his repentance.
It's just a pity that Josh unexpectedly completed a tragic ending, when Josh was going to play cards with the baron, he unexpectedly found that he was hanging on a dead tree, and the whole person was in a daze.
Especially when Josh returned to the baron's residence, the whole person had the idea of deleting the file.
"I've always wanted to get a GWENT card from you, and I've tried my best to win you, but I haven't won you once. Now you're dead, and you see that card at the table where we used to talk, you bastard....."
