Geralt did not answer the baron's request directly, but asked, "What if we don't?"

The baron shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly, "I respect your decision, after all, the agreement between us has been completed. But I'll gather all my men, bring all the oil and arrows, and we'll see if it's the horrible humpback swamp or my troops. I'm going to make this trip anyway. ”

Geralt spread his hands, "We'll consider it~"

"In any case, I will lead the men and horses to wait for you in the village of Nizhny Valen for five days, and I look forward to you and me. Five days later, before you are there, I will be alone into the depths of the swamp to find the damned witch and take back my Anna. ”

As soon as the baron had finished speaking, the door to the parlor was slammed open.

With a cacophony of sounds, a little guy less than a meter tall, covered in pus, with his head shrunk into his chest, the top of his head as high as his shoulders, and a wooden toy bell in his hand, burst in, and kept making strange sounds of "woo woo, woo woo, what's it". He walks with a limp, but is very flexible.

As soon as the little one came in, he knocked his chair to the ground, and was clearly a troublemaker.

Just when Geralt and Roxian were surprised to find out what kind of monster this was, a guard followed in a panic.

As soon as the guards entered the hall, they looked around and immediately spotted the little guy waving toys and making trouble.

"Found you!" the guard rushed behind the little one in a few steps, dragging his hands under his armpits and outward.

The baron spread his hands helplessly, asking what was going on.

The guard said aggrievedly, "I went to pee, and when I turned around, this guy disappeared, I didn't expect to disturb the conversation of the adults, I'm really sorry, everyone should not see it." ”

The guard dragged the little one out, and the door to the parlor was closed again.

The baron said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm such a mess here, a bunch of idiots, I know how to drink all day long, that guy must have been drinking secretly, as soon as I came in, I smelled the smell of alcohol coming from him, I must take him with me when I go out this time, let him wake up." ”

"What was that just now?" Geralt, who was well-informed, couldn't recognize what it was that suddenly broke in just now, goblins, dwarves, and earth spirits didn't look like it, so he couldn't help but ask.

"I'd also expect the well-known Demon Hunter to tell me if he was a man or a beast. My men call it Whoo, because it always makes these two sounds. It's said it's a monster, but just by looking at its appearance, it should be a person, and although it can't tell the male or female, it looks as ugly as Adara's. The baron said as he leaned his ass against the desk, looking helpless.

"Well, it doesn't look like a monster, but my Demon Hunting badge is shaking, it's really weird, where did you find this guy, it looks like he's still a child. Geralt was curious.

"You may not believe it, but I won this little guy by playing cards. The baron explained.

"GWENT, what's an interesting story in between?"

The baron shrugged his shoulders, "If you're interested, I'll tell you." I once went to Novi Gree to rest and enjoy some of the nightly entertainment in the big city. You know, that's that kind of entertainment. I was in a tavern where there were a lot of people playing GWENT, and I was itching to see it, so I couldn't resist joining in. ”

This was obviously a very proud thing, and as the baron spoke, the sorrow between his brows loosened, revealing a rare smile.

"I had a lot of luck that day, and I got better and better cards every time, killing the pretentious citykees. One of my opponents was one after another, and one of them was an overseas merchant, who was also unlucky that day, and lost very badly, losing all that he had brought from Skellig Island. At the end of the day, he wanted to play again, and I was in high spirits, so of course he said yes. ”

The more the baron spoke, the more excited he became, and even began to make comparisons to the situation.

"That guy lost everything, I asked him to continue gambling, what to bet on, and he showed me the little dot just now. I don't think it's going to work for me, but I don't think it matters. I was so happy that I gave the guy a chance to win something back. But his luck was really bad, and he rolled out of the tavern without a penny, and so he came to the crow's nest. ”

"With this court jester, you are a veritable noble baron. Geralt's poisonous tongue began to spit again.

The baron was unconcerned about the white wolf's sarcasm, "That's true, but I've always felt that something was wrong with this guy." ”

"What do you say?" Luo Xian also interjected.

"It struck me more like a beast than a man, but there was a hint of wisdom and cunning in the bastard's eyes. Maybe it's just my delusion, have you ever seen anything like him?"

"No, but this little guy doesn't look dangerous. ”

"Well, I guess that's the case. It doesn't eat much, and as long as it doesn't get me in trouble, keeping it will give my stupid minions something to do. ”

"It's over, we should leave. Geralt ended the conversation and walked away from the meeting room with Rouse.

"Well, I'm going to get ready to go to the village of Lower Valen, too. I'm looking forward to meeting you there, five days, and I'll wait for you for five days. If you don't come, this will be our last meeting. Maybe I'll die in the witch's swamp, and who knows what the end will be? ”

The baron waved goodbye to the two of them, "I wish you all the best on your journey, and I hope you can find your daughter." ”

When the two of them finally disappeared in the doorway, they whispered, "And be a good father..."

Luo Xian, who was walking behind, heard the baron's self-talk, and also saw the shoulder of the white wolf in front of him move slightly.

Outside the crow's nest, Luo Xian asked, "Are you really not going to help Philip?"

Geralt smiled, "You are such a kind fellow, be careful, your kindness can easily become a tool for others to use, especially those dirty politicians and aristocrats." Do you think the Baron is telling the truth?"

Luo Xian nodded, "That's what my book tells me. ”

Looking at the mutated book on Rosin's waist, Geralt knew that it was most likely a very powerful magic item.

"In that case, why don't we help people to the end, and go to Redania first to find the runaway lady. ”

"You mean Tamara?" said Roxian in surprise.

"Wouldn't it be nice if the family could finally be reunited?"

"Then what are you waiting for? You lead the way, we have to hurry. ”

"Fortunately, Philip gave us the paperwork before, which is also the good fortune he planted for himself. The Redanians have blocked the pass, or we will have to find a way to get into the city. ”

Two days later, one morning later, two horses, one black and one yellow, arrived near the village of Lower Valen, and the passengers on the horses looked a little tired.

It was the White Wolf Geralt and Roxian, and there were only two of them in the team, and it seemed that they had gone to Redania to find Tamara, and they had obviously returned empty-handed.
