Chapter 22: Separated Mother and Daughter (Part II)
The baron's departure made the scene quiet again.
"Luo Xian, I noticed that your magic props are a little different when you showed me them two days ago. ”
Luo Xian did not speak, but directly took the black notebook from his waist and handed it to Geralt.
Geralt looked at it and realized that his observation was correct.
The four flame-like words on the black book before,Now it's gone.,And the color of the surface of the book has also changed from black to black and red.。
"Where's the word on it?, why is it gone?" Geralt, who still couldn't open the book, returned it to Luo Xian.
"Actually, the change in it was caused by you, the white wolf. ”
"What? What does it have to do with me?"
"Yes, you and I have told several stories of good and evil, which has a great impact on me, life and death cannot represent absolutes, they are only superficial differences, the real difference is good or evil. So I decided to change the name of the book. ”
"Oh, what's going to be called?" Geralt remembered that his wizarding friends also had a habit of renaming the ancient magic items they had discovered on their own and then renaming them after researching them on their own.
Presumably, this mysterious visitor from the other world is the same, and it is somewhat strange that people who can use magic can use it.
Of course, he didn't count himself among them, and in his opinion, he only knew a few small spells, not magic.
"It used to be called 'Death Note', and now I've decided to call it 'The Book of Good and Evil', but it's not complete yet. ”
"Did you learn your magic from above, and at the cost of learning to become a skeleton?"
"Probably, but, White Wolf, I think your approach to the enemy seems to be a bit one-dimensional, and you can only draw your sword and slash monsters except for a few spells that are not very powerful. ”
"This is the fate of demon hunters, after we drink potions, we have greatly strengthened the functions of various organs in our bodies, and we have gained several times more lifespan than ordinary people, but we can only rely on diligent combat skills to fight different enemies, and the mortality rate has always been high. ”
"Well, White Wolf, are you interested in learning a new martial art from the East?"
"Will you teach me? Of course I do. Is it difficult?"
"This kind of martial art, I call it the spiritual power combat method, is to usually integrate one's own essence and spirit after cultivation, and when fighting, use a special secret method and then release it to form a special form to fight the enemy. The higher the degree of fusion of the spirit and spirit, the more real and powerful the condensed form will be, and the battle will be extremely powerful. The advantage is that you hardly have to go to the end yourself, and if there is danger, you can immediately withdraw and retreat. ”
Geralt listened to Luo Xian's flickering, and immediately felt that this was a very tall martial art, and immediately became interested.
"Can I study now?"
"Yes~" Luo Xian coughed a few times and said with a smile, "You like to use swords, then I will tailor a swordsmanship master for you." Listen to me first about him. ”
"Okay, please. "Geralt has a very high talent for swordsmanship, but it's a pity that the swordsmanship in this world is nothing more than coming and going horizontally and vertically, and slashing back and turning these few times, at most there are some jumps and rolls in the middle, and most of the fights are the physical fitness of both sides, so as a demon hunter, when facing monsters that can attack magically, it will be easy to be injured and die.
Now, he can learn a sword technique from another world, which is really a rare opportunity, so he listens very carefully.
"First of all, let me introduce you to the name of this master of swordsmanship, his name is Yagami Phantom Juro, a swordsman from a distant island in the East, who has loved flowers, swords, wine, and gambling all his life, and hates those who pretend to be good but are in fact hypocritical and inherently vicious. The school of swordsmanship he uses is called Guyin Yidaoliu, and the so-called Yinliu is the swordsmanship of taking a sword from an unexpected place of the opponent and quickly slashing the enemy. The name of the sword he uses is called Mei Ying Poison..."
The words from Luo Xian's mouth were eloquent, and the interesting story was like a giant magnet that attracted Geralt. The white wolf felt the sad and joyful fate of this master of swordsmanship from another world, as well as the magnificent story between him and his old enemy, and was deeply immersed.
Luo Xian slowly approached Geralt, and before the white wolf could react, he suddenly pointed between Geralt's eyebrows, and a powerful light rose from Luo Xian's head, followed his arm, and fell into Geralt's eyebrows.
Luo Xian immediately withdrew his arm, sweating profusely, he didn't expect that a momentary whim could succeed smoothly.
Geralt was hit by Luo Xian's finger at the same time, like an electric shock, his whole body trembled, his eyes were closed, and it took a long time to stop.
Gradually, Geralt's eyes opened, and in an instant, a huge phantom figure with a height of four meters emerged from behind him, like a protector who had been hidden in his body for a long time.
The phantom appeared to be a stout man with red hair, long hair tied back at the back of his head, thin eyebrows and angry eyes, a sturdy upper body that looked extremely powerful, and a long sword that was more than three meters long.
"Kiriba.Light Wing Slash!" The phantom domineering man behind Geralt stepped lightly, and suddenly soared into the air, and the long sword in his hand instantly swung three times in a row. Three sword qi curved like moon wheels immediately flew out from his sword and rushed towards the guard training ground dozens of meters away.
After a few muffled sounds, a huge rice-shaped cut appeared on the stone slab of the solid training ground, penetrating the entire stone slab and penetrating more than twenty centimeters into the mud.
Geralt seemed to be a little powerless, after using this move, the phantom that came out of the way shook a little and then disappeared without a trace, and then Geralt let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes, "The oriental martial arts you said turned out to be like this, it is completely different from what I imagined, it can be said to be a kind of magic attack." If you don't experience it yourself, how can you know that there is a martial art that can transform your spiritual power into a swordsmanship physical attack, but what is shown is the power of magic, which is really too mysterious. It's no wonder that Luo Xian can tear those monsters apart at will, and cast some magic attacks that seem impossible in my opinion, so that's how it is used. You can even pass on your martial arts skills directly to those who need to learn them through special means, so that they can know them in a very short time, and then gradually master them completely after hard training. ”
"This is the white wolf, your foundation is good, the body of the demon hunter who has drunk the potion provides you with a huge treasure trove of spiritual power, which can bear the huge pressure brought by the condensation formation. If you were an ordinary fighter, you might be crazy by now, and I also let you learn this skill because of your far superior physical fitness. The first time you use this combat skill, you can successfully use the Light Wing Slash, which is really a genius. ”
"No, no, no, the complete Kiriba.Light Wing Slash can swing twelve light slashes in an instant, slicing the enemy apart, and I only have three just now, so I can't support it anymore. It's a lot worse, and you still need to practice slowly. I don't know how powerful the killing moves called triple kills, five-light slashes, cherry blossom slashes, and hundred ghost kills are in the back, which is really exciting. ”
"It's good if you like it, so that you have another means when you fight the enemy, and you don't have to fight the enemy everywhere, which can be regarded as your reward for telling me stories. ”
"Thank you, Luo Xian. ”
"It's nothing, we're friends, and it's right to help each other. ”
As the two were talking, there was a burst of cheerful laughter from Tia's grave.
"The house elf is formed!" said Geralt, delighted.
The two of them came to Tia's tomb, and it seemed that something wanted to come out from below, but they had the heart but not enough.
"Her strength is not strong enough to break through the final metamorphosis, and I use spells to help her. Geralt immediately knelt solemnly in front of the tomb.
"I call you with the power of the bloodline, and I beseech you with your name. Listen to my call and wake up, Tia!"
With Geralt's slow words, a light and shadow slowly rose from Tia's tomb, and in the light, the face of a baby girl quietly appeared, except for the head, the rest of the parts were not yet formed, only a few points of light converged to form a pipe, which seemed to be a blood vessel.
"This is the house goblin?" Luo Xian asked curiously, it was the first time he had seen a goblin from another world, and it seemed to be very different from a ghost.
It seems to be similar to the existence of the land public, but the scope is only within the home.
"Yes, Tia has just woken up, and with the passage of time and the love of her family, she will slowly complete her body, bless the harmony of this family, and drive away the evil creatures that try to enter her territory. Kind and excellent goblins. ”
"What now?"
"Although Tia's body is not complete, it is still no problem to find someone. Tia, please lead us to find your loved ones who are connected to you by blood. Geralt said.
After a few smacks of the baby girl's head, it quickly flew in one direction.
"Follow her! she'll lead us to the Baroness!"
The two men took the horses, turned them over, and chased after the head that was galloping through the air.
The head flew through the air, through the training ground, the barracks, and straight down the hill, and the two followed out of the crow's nest and across the trestle. Due to the previous rainstorm, the baron did not arrange guards to stand guard outside, but there were still two crossbowmen guarding the outermost arrow tower.
The two ordinary people were chatting casually over the fire, with a few rabbit-like things on the fire, and several bottles of wine beside them, which were already empty. It seemed that they could not see the existence of the baby girl's head, and let the head fly past them, and when they saw Geralt and Geralt riding on horseback on the trestle, they got up and greeted them, and sat back down.
The baby girl's head came out of the crow's nest and flew down a path into the woods.
Tia followed the blood of her relatives, and this road should be the route that Anna escaped from at that time, leaving her breath on it. On the turnip, Geralt explained to Luo Xian next to him.
It was a small path, rarely walked, and many places were covered with grass, and if it weren't for Tia leading the way, the two would not have found its traces at all.
At this time, the rain became a little lighter.
After about twenty minutes of running deep into the woods, a hut appeared in the distance, and Tia stopped next to it, spinning around a place.
The house goblin can't speak, and the meaning she wants to express can only be guessed by everyone.
"Anna is in there, but I don't think it's inhabited. Luo Xian expressed doubt.
"In my travel experience, Anna may have stayed here and done something, so here is information about her visit, let's look it up and see if we can find new clues. Geralt offered his opinion.
"I don't know how long this house has been deserted, and it smells strange. Luo Xian complained.
"It's definitely not the smell of lavender, Anna, what are they doing here?"
"It's asphalt, this is the place where asphalt is refined?" Luo Xian remembered what this somewhat familiar smell was, many roads in Huaxia were paved with asphalt, and in the hot summer, the ground would melt a little because of the high temperature, and this special temperature would be emitted.
"It's asphalt workers, they'll give the territory some waterproofing materials," Geralt dismounted and began to check where the goblins were wandering, "I guess asphalt workers definitely can't afford to buy a horse. Here are some traces of horseshoes, where Anna dismounted. ”
"And a bracelet, such a beautiful bracelet, I don't think the asphalt workers would buy it. Luo Xian picked up a bracelet from somewhere and played with it in his hand.
"It may have been dropped by Anna or Tamara, who ran away while it was dark, and when they got here, it was dark and the situation was urgent, so they didn't notice that the jewelry they were wearing had fallen off. Geralt took one look and came to a conclusion.
"Hey, the clothes are not burned..."Geralt can see at night, the night is no different from the day for him, and he found a little bit of the situation, "Anna, they are probably here to change clothes, it seems that they have been planning this thing for a while, and they have prepared a change of clothes in advance, for fear of being recognized by the baron's men." ”
Geralt carried some of the clothes left over from the fire and placed them in front of Tia, "See if you can find your mother?"
"Can you find it after the burn?" Luo Xian asked.
"The goblins rely not on the ordinary smell of people, but on the sense of blood, which she can recognize as long as a loved one stays in a certain place for a while. ”
Sure enough, Tia's head lingered for a moment on the clothes that could not be seen in its original form, and then immediately flew towards the east.
"Let's go, Tia didn't disappoint us. The two mounted their horses again and followed, leaving behind the asphaltmen's abandoned cabin.
