Sixty-nine You have a beautiful daughter
Dealing with a corpse baby is not a difficult thing in the first place, although the corpse baby can be transformed into a terrifying monster, but it is not difficult, it mainly depends on the way of dealing with it.
One is to bury the baby under the threshold according to the ancient tradition, so that it can be reborn and transformed into a family goblin who guards the family.
It's ideal, but it's a race against time, as it takes a night to prepare, and to get everything in order before the baby turns into a monster.
The other is very simple and crude, just find the corpse baby and wait for him to turn into a monster, and then let Geralt split it in half with a sword and kill it completely and every bit of blood.
The blood was not intended to be used as a trophy of war, but as an ancient ritual through which information was used to find information about the baron's wife and daughter.
Josh could see that Baron Philip had chosen the second method very much, and the corners of his mouth twitched but he didn't say anything, it seemed that he was going to leave the decision up to his own people.
So Josh still asked Geralt to use the first method, which wasn't particularly troublesome anyway.
Either way, you have to wait until dark, so why not choose a better way to deal with these things?
Since this was the case, and Geralt pulled the baron out, Josh and Ciri simply rested here.
"I didn't expect Baron Philip to have such an experience." Watching the two leave the room, Ciri sighed.
"It's really tragic, this guy endures such a tragic green tragedy at home while still managing the entire territory, you can imagine whether this baron is uncomfortable." Josh nodded.
It is indeed very uncomfortable, to be honest, he can endure his wife's attitude for decades, and I am afraid that only the baron can do it.
Although he often said that his final goal was to take revenge by the most cruel means, Josh felt that if he was asked to do it again, he would probably do it again.
And his love for his wife is also indispensable, otherwise Josh would have killed or driven this woman away long ago.
Where can she continue to stay by her side, and then make her own daughter just as hateful to herself?
But this is also someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with him, and now Josh and they have obtained complete information about Ciri from the baron, of course, this is for Geralt.
So Josh plans to wait for Geralt to take care of the baron's affairs and start again together.
In fact, Ciri's experience here is no different from the original book, first of all, in order to get the horse Ciri and the soldiers here to participate in the race, and even defeated the baron to get his beloved good horse.
However, just as Ciri wins, a petrified bird appears.
The petrified bird attacked the Baron and captured him to his lair, and Ciri used his magic to save the Baron, who took great care of himself.
Then the Baron came down, but Ciri herself was in trouble - her magic could attract wild hunts.
In order not to cause trouble here, Ciri has to go on the road again, and her destination is Novigre. As a result, they didn't have to go for a few days before Josh and the others caught up, which was very good luck for Josh and them.
"It's okay, we came a little late, otherwise it would be a big trouble if we really ran into it."
"You've been saying you're in trouble, but what's the trouble, can you not always say one sentence that affects the timeline and it's over? Is there a more specific way to put it? ”
"Well, don't ask, you can't say you feel it if you ask."
“.....”
Ciri shook his head helplessly at Josh's character again, but a prince's character didn't seem to be bad.
Then they chatted casually about something else, and then after enjoying a dinner with Geralt, who had seen the corpse baby, they began to pass the time silently.
During this period, Josh also pulled the baron to play a good game of Gwent, probably to make up for his previous regrets.
The baron didn't refuse, and the two of them played cards to attract the onlookers of Ciri and Geralt, and then it turned out that it was better not to play Quint with a magician.
Especially this magician is particularly shameless and unscrupulous!
"Hell! Sir, are you cheating? Why are your hands so good? Or even your cards are in full suit? The baron shouted without displeasure after losing the game.
", of course I have a full set of cards, don't you know that for a mage, there's no pressure to just make a set of cards like this?" Josh completely ignored the baron's displeasure and acted like you were losing and quickly handed over your cards.
"Oh my God, you're cheating! Gwent cards are unique....."
"Fart, I can make as many cards as I want, and I can guarantee that every card is real! Hurry up and get it! ”
In the face of such a guy, what can the baron do? So in the end, he was extremely aggrieved and handed over the Gwent card to Josh, and then completely refused to continue playing cards with Josh, and Josh didn't care about it anyway, and his goal was achieved, right?
The time to play cards always passes quickly, and before you know it, night has fallen.
Geralt looked at the time and took the baron directly to deal with the problem of the corpse baby, and everything went smoothly - although the baron was frightened by the demon that appeared and was disturbed by the crying of the corpse baby, he still honestly completed what Geralt needed him to do.
With all that in order, Geralt sent the Baron back to rest, and he began to follow the goblin spirit, which had become somewhat holy, to find the Baroness's whereabouts.
He followed the family goblin to a roadside house not far from the crow's nest, and got news of Anna's mother and daughter.
He was relieved to get the news, and it seemed that the baron's task had been completed.
After some time Geralt hurried back to Raven Castle and told the Baron about it, and by this time it was getting light, and the Baron was sitting alone in the hall.
"How's it going, have you found them?"
"Isn't that good news, you didn't rest last night?"
"God, I can't sleep. Can you tell me what's going on. ”
"Your wife, Anna, was caught by a monster in the mudback swamp, while your daughter Tamara fled to Orsengfurt."
Geralt sighed and sat down, he was a little tired, but for a witcher, it was nothing.
Geralt told the baron all the news he had received from the farmer, much to the baron's great excitement.
"No! I'm going to lead the troops to get Anna back! Although there are many conflicts between us, she is always my wife! ”
"My advice to you is to rest well and wait for Lord Josh to deal with it. Because he is there, there is room for everything to be redeemed. ”
Hearing Geralt's words, the baron frowned a little distressedly, but he really didn't dare to disturb Josh's rest.
What's more, Josh's ability is very terrifying, he has seen it (although it is only a very small part), and he also thinks that what Geralt said is very reasonable, so he simply sat down and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Maybe he didn't sleep well last night, and now that he has the news of his wife and daughter and knows what to do, the baron's mood suddenly relaxed.
It didn't take long for his snoring to start, and it didn't stop until it was nearly noon.
"Are you awake?" Geralt was wiping his sword and asked directly after noticing the baron's situation.
"I.... Oh! it! What time is it! The baron had just woken up and was not very conscious, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately asked aloud.
"It's about ten o'clock in the morning, close to eleven o'clock, so don't worry."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Why are you called? You lack rest, and if you use that state, I'm afraid you'll die somewhere.
Lord Josh said that although you are a speculator, and you are not less than a more qualified lord, but you are here at least those innocent fellows will not have a miserable life, although you are better off alive. ”
"This evaluation is really ....."
The baron smiled wryly, then stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body.
He had seen through the window that Josh and Ciri were outside, apparently Ciri bathing a griffin - he had already listened to himself, Josh and their mount was a griffon.
"That Lord Josh is a nobleman, isn't he?" Suddenly, the baron asked Geralt.
"Yes, he is indeed a nobleman. Moreover, he is still a great nobleman. Geralt heard the baron's question, and then nodded in the affirmative.
"And what about the lady next to him?"
"Daenerys, you say? Does she have any problems? ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, I just think this lady is very familiar. I always felt as if I had seen her there. ”
"To be honest, I feel the same way, but unfortunately she's not the person I'm looking for."
Geralt sighed, it didn't seem like he was the only one who thought that the lady named Daenerys was a lot like someone he knew.
Because of family problems, this baron treated Ciri as his daughter during that time period, and he took good care of Ciri, so he may also have some impressions of Ciri.
"By the way, can you tell me Ciri..... What does Ciri look like now? ”
"Oh?" The baron looked at Geralt suspiciously, "Isn't she your daughter?" Why do you ask? ”
"Ciri and I haven't seen each other for years because of something special that caused us to separate. In my mind's eye, there is only what she looked like when she was a child....."
"I see, good news for you, Ciri has grown into a great beauty. When she came to Ravenburg, my subordinates had some bad ideas, but I stopped them, congratulations Geralt, you have a beautiful daughter. ”8)
