Geralt and Enrith had known each other for many years, even before Enrith became Emperor of Nilfgaard.

In the world of The Witcher, there is a law that is not explicitly stated, but everyone agrees on it, the [Law of Accidents], which exists almost as old as human history.

The general content of the law is:

If a person is in danger and is rescued, the rescuer can offer compensation to the rescued.

Ask for the first thing the rescued person sees when they return home, or something that the rescued person has but doesn't know.

It is usually a child born when the rescued person leaves home, and such a child is called an 'accidental child'.

Many witchers are the children of accidents.

The same goes for Ciri, and she fits both of these criteria perfectly.

Many, many years ago, Enrith's father, the former Emperor of Nilfgaard, was ousted by a prestigious nobleman in a coup d'état.

As the old emperor refused to justify the coup, the usurper, in order to bring him to his knees, ordered his casters to torture his son and heir, Enris, who was only 13 years old at the time.

One of them, a warlock, was clever enough to turn Enreth into a hedgehog-like subhuman monster.

But even so, the old emperor was reluctant to hand over the throne.

In a fit of rage, the usurper killed the old emperor and exiled Enreth into the wilderness and sent killers to kill him.

Enreth died nine times and fled to [Śětra], one of the northern kingdoms.

One rainy night, he accidentally rescued the injured and helpless King Chancella and demanded that the king repay him in the form of an accident.

When the king returned home, he was surprised to find that his queen [Caranthor] was pregnant, and according to the law of accidents, the child in her womb should belong to Enrith.

In addition to the contractual effect it possesses, the law of accident also has the power of magic.

When the contract is formed, the fate of the initiator of the contract and the object of the contract will be bound, which will affect the lives of both parties. Therefore, no one will be willing to take the initiative to disobey, so as not to be punished by fate.

Fifteen years later, the child had grown into a slim girl and fell in love with Enrith.

Although Sintra has the king in name, the actual power is firmly in the hands of Queen Caranser, or the power should have belonged to her, because she is the only daughter of the previous king.

Unwilling to see his daughter Paveta married to an ugly subhuman monster, Caranther enlists Geralt with the intention of using the witcher to get rid of her daughter's lover.

As a result, with Geralt's help, Enrith's curse was lifted, his body was restored, and he finally married Princess Paveta by revealing his identity as a fallen prince.

After the deed was accomplished, the grateful Enreis also repaid Geralt with the law of accidents.

Coincidentally, Pavita was pregnant at this time, and the child in her womb was Ciri.

Ciri's name 'Chancella Cub' comes from her politically strong grandmother, Caranthor, known as the 'Chancellor'. The power of the Blood of the Ancients was inherited from her mother, Paveta.

As for Ciri's feud with his father, that's another story.

All it is necessary to know that her mother and grandmother were killed by Enrith, and that Sintra was destroyed by Nilfgaard under Enrith during the First Northern War.

Because of this, Geralt is also extremely grateful to Rhys.

So don't look at the two who have known each other for many years, but they are not even friends.

Now it was because the two sides had the same goal that Geralt was able to resist his disgust and sit down to talk to Enreis about cooperation.

His Majesty the Emperor was well aware of the Demon Hunter's thoughts, but he didn't care.

"My spy corps will assist you in finding Ciri, you can trust them, and I will personally send troops if necessary."

"Let Yennefer talk to you for the rest."

"This is the end of the pilgrimage, Mamari, and take them to the sorceress."

The attendant guarding the door heard the summons and pushed the door in, and then saw Leon unceremoniously picking up the portrait on the wall.

"Your Majesty, this."

"Let him go." Enrith waved his hand indifferently.

Mamar didn't dare to ask any more, and quickly took Leon and Geralt out of the reception room.

Due to the presence of outsiders, the two remained silent all the way until they reached the sorceress's room.

Ye Naifa was sitting at the table at this time, flipping through the materials, and said without raising his head, "I thought he would leave you for breakfast." ”

Geralt replied playfully: "His Majesty the Emperor doesn't think much of me, you know." ”

Ye Naifa raised his head: "I think you are very pleasing to the eye, especially after changing out of that broken armor and wearing this black velvet dress." ”

Li Ang chimed in: "Indeed. ”

Geralt tugged at the aggrieved collar and smiled wryly, "I wish I could take it off now." ”

Ye Naifa smiled charmingly: "If it were elsewhere, I would have thought you were hinting at me, and I thought too, but there is something else to do now." ”

Leon asked very understandingly, "Do you need me to recuse myself?" ”

Geralt's expression was a little unnatural, and he skipped the topic stiffly: "Let's talk about Ciri." ”

The sorceress has always been open and bold, and she never knows what embarrassment is.

"According to the Empire's secret agents, our little witcher has now grown into a beautiful big girl."

"Indeed." Leon agreed: "I can prove it. ”

As soon as the words fell, two scrutinizing eyes instantly fell on him.

"Look at what I'm doing, just tell the truth."

Geralt said without a word, "I'll keep an eye on you." ”

Without waiting for Leon to respond, he continued to ask the sorceress, "Enreth said that the wild hunt was chasing Ciri, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes yesterday, I wouldn't have believed it. But. How did Wild Hunt find us? ”

Yennefer explained wistfully, "It's because of me." ”

"Before you came, I spent months searching for Ciri's whereabouts, and I also tried various methods, positioning charms, visceral divination, clay divination, I used everything I could."

"I knew that the Wild Hunt could sense my magic and even find me, but I always thought I could fool them."

Geralt knew that she was in love with her daughter, so she comforted:

"People make mistakes, even the emperor."

Ye Naifa nodded slightly: "So I gave up using magic and used more traditional methods, such as you, an expert who is good at tracking. I just didn't expect you to bring me such a big surprise. ”

And Leon, who is a 'surprise', is now curiously tinkering with the warlock's gadgets.

Geralt then realized that they had a 'prophet'.

"Do you know why Wild Hunt is looking for Ciri?"

Leon put down the strange potion in his hand and said, "Quite simply, they want Ciri's ancient blood, or through Ciri, they will give birth to more heirs with the ability to travel through time and space. Help them save their own world and conquer more new ones. ”

Geralt and Yennefer can actually guess that Wild Hunt wants Ciri's special abilities.

But what it's used for is the first time I've heard of it.

"Looks like we're going to hurry, we must find Ciri before we go on a wild hunt."

Geralt muttered, a new question popping into his mind.

"So what did Enreth do with Ciri? It can't be to make up for the loss of father's love for many years, right? ”

Ye Naifa shook his head: "I don't know very well when I point it. ”

Now the two of them turned their eyes to Li Ang again.

Seeing this, Leon explained unhurriedly: "Although His Majesty the great Enreth regained the throne from the usurper, which belonged to his father, he also caused him to become a usurper. The current Nilfgaard seems to be strong, but in fact there are many internal opponents, so Enreis will choose to start a war to divert the conflict. ”

"But war alone is not enough."

"Enrith's age makes him need a qualified successor to calm the people and consolidate the imperial power."

Geralt sneered, "I knew he wasn't really for his daughter. ”

"Remember that time? He actually tried to marry his own daughter for a foolish prophecy! ”

"He's always been a ruthless creature of power, we know that. ”

"For now, though, his help will help us find Ciri faster, so don't worry about it anymore, Geralt?"

Geralt shrugged and stopped talking.

Ye Naifa continued: "I checked the information just now, and the Isle of Mist is estimated to be near Skellig, so I will go there first to find its specific location. And Skellig recently had a magic explosion that wiped out half of the forest, and I think it must have something to do with Ciri. ”

"As for the two of you, Willen and Novigre, according to the agent's report, Ciri has left clues in both places, and may be able to help you find the elven sage Avalak."

"Willen wants to be bigger, and Novigre only has unconfirmed reports and rumours right now."

"But I suggest you go anyway, because there's an old friend of yours: Triss Meligard, who has bought a cosy apartment near the main square."

As he spoke, there was already a little more jealousy in Ye Naifa's tone.

Geralt knew why, of course, and explained, "I had amnesia. ”

"Really good, use amnesia as an excuse." Ye Naifa said angrily: "The reason why I didn't go to you for a long time is because I am afraid of delaying your good deeds. After all, I heard many people say that you are a natural pair. ”

Next to him, Li Ang had an expression of watching the play, and he couldn't wait to take out the melon seeds immediately.

Geralt and Triss have a very simple relationship, the former lost his memory because of the wild hunt, and the latter took advantage of the situation to rob his best friend's boyfriend, and the two lived a shameless life ever since.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and after Geralt regained his memory, he dumped Triss and chose to come to Yennefer.

It's just that it's not too clean, and it's still a little broken.

Leon has no prejudice against the sorceress community, but will never have any negative contact with them, as it is easy to become a like-minded person with Geralt.

After all, the sorceress piledriver is not in vain.

Many famous sorceresses have had a dewy affair with Geralt.

"Let's talk slowly, I'll go out and let off steam."

It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, and Li Ang feels that it is better to avoid it.

In case the two of them talk and fight, it is not appropriate for him to help either of them.

Geralt was reluctant to let him go, there was a third person on the scene, and there was still a buffer.

Fortunately, Ye Naifa had no intention of asking the teacher for the time being, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "I don't have time to talk to you about this now, it's important to find Ciri first." Do you need me to open a portal to send you to Willen? ”

Geralt had a shadow on the portal, and hurriedly refused: "Don't even think about it, let's ride a horse." ”

"Whatever you want." Ye Naifa reminded: "Now that there is a war outside, don't be a hero, come to Skellig to find me after investigating the clues, not a single hair is missing." ”

"And, so are you, Leon."

Leon was flattered: "As you wish, ma'am. ”

Yennefer smiled at him, then kissed Geralt goodbye affectionately.

Seeing this, Li Ang immediately waved his hand: "I don't need this, well, thank you." ”

The sorceress couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, so that she could not bite off her old good tongue.

Geralt, who had been hit hard, scolded angrily: "What good do you want! ”

After the joke, Yennefer cast a spell to open the portal to Skellig, and before leaving, she told the other two that she had some supplies from Enrith and that they were in a box in the corner, so remember to take them.

With that, the sorceress disappeared to the other end of the portal.

Geralt seemed to have become accustomed to her resoluteness, and turned to say, "Let's go, and see what good things His Majesty has rewarded us." ”

Leon followed the witcher to the large wooden box by the wall.

The chest contained a letter left by Yennefer and two pieces of brand new armor, as well as matching silver and steel swords.

The letter outlines the origin of the two armors.

The first of these, called [Flowers], was designed and manufactured by Dorr Bretanna, an ally of the Nilfgaard Empire.

In addition, the current ruler of the Elven Kingdom is a sorceress.

This pure-blooded elf named Franceska, in addition to being the founder of the Sorceress' Hall, is also known as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Geralt had mentioned to Yennefer more than once that his dream was to become the Elven Queen's personal guard.

Of course, there is a lot of joke in it.

But Ye Naifa kept this in mind, and this time he helped him realize his dream by finding a different way.

Therefore, the prosperous suit naturally belongs to Geralt.

The second set of armor is even more interesting, and according to Yennefa's letter, even Enrith is secretive about it, saying only that it comes from a diplomatic gift from a distant land.

And this set of armor is called [Western White Tiger].

Li Ang couldn't put it down when he saw it, because it was a very oriental-style mountain armor.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Twin Swords are also of great origin, and according to legend, their previous owner was a mysterious legendary hero who made a pact with a fox turned into a monster, and her powers are still attached to these two swords.

People in the world of "The Witcher" don't know the goods, but Li Angmen is clear.

What kind of monster turned into a fox, it is clearly a fox spirit, or a nine-tailed fox.

The appearance of the twin swords also resembles the long knives of the East, rather than the Western swords.

Geralt wasn't interested in the strange armor and weapons, and Leon had them in his pocket, eager to put them on.

Get your new clothes, and it's time to swagger through the market.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Let's add more tomorrow, let me be lazy today~
