Chapter 472 Demon Hunter vs. Sorceress
At midnight, outside the village of Lofuten, the witcher and the sorceress quietly arrived at the seaside while there was no one around.
Geralt found the correct body, and Yennefer used the soul-searching magic in black magic to recall the soul of the "waste" that had almost disappeared, and get information about Ciri from him.
Although this kind of magic is forbidden to be used and requires a heavy price, but without clues, they have no choice.
…
After a period of interrogation.
"Tssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss so so so so so so so so so so so so so so...
Without the support of the surging magic power, the swollen and putrid corpse let out a long and tragic groan, and then collapsed.
A bunch of black hair turned into white silk, a famous sorceress. Yennefer of Vengerberg also lost her footing and fell into the arms of her lover. In the arms of Geralt of Rivia.
He gently supported the sorceress's soft body and settled her down on the rock. The witcher then knelt down to clean up the "wimp"... No! The remains of Mr. "Skeiki".
To be fair, at this moment, Geralt felt that he owed the man on the ground a heavy debt of gratitude. He should not let him continue to expose his body in the wilderness for all reasons and reasons. He should at least cremate the body and bury it in a beautiful place.
Because as speculated in advance, the reason why the Wild Hunt attacked Lovoten Village was because Skage and his sister Astrid brought the exhausted Ciri back to the village to take care of her after traveling through time and space.
And when he rode away during the Wild Hunt attack, he was not running away cowardly. He was escorting Ciri to the seaside to meet up with the masked elf mage.
In this way, through the stuttering statements of the undead, the trajectory of the daughter's return was finally roughly deduced.
…
The whole process started in spring. In early March, Ciri and a certain elf mage wearing a mask appeared on the Great Skellige Island.
Then the Wild Hunt followed them and clashed with them. A violent magical explosion occurred in the Druid Forest. The two opened the portal and escaped, but the Elf Mage was cursed.
Next, Ciri appeared in Wellen and met a little girl who was abandoned by her parents. After killing the werewolf, she was taken in by the Bloody Baron. During her recuperation, she sought a way to lift the curse.
Later, he overused magic when saving the baron and fighting the petrified cockatrice. He was worried that he would be discovered by the Wild Hunt, so he had to leave for Novigrad.
At the same time, the elf mage couldn't find Ciri in Velen, so he contacted Keira. Metz, in exchange for the magic lamp, asks her to make a potion that slows down the onset of the curse.
Ciri's search for Triss in Novigrad failed, so she had to go to the Vanilla Hotel to find Dandelion and ask him to help repair the amulet that lifted the curse. Dandelion took her to Hawthorne II for help, and in return Hawthorne demanded access to the treasures of Dijkstra's treasury.
Dandelion, whose potential was stimulated, carefully planned a shocking robbery. He obtained information about the bathhouse through many girlfriends, commissioned an alchemist to make a bomb and purchased a barge. He found the shape-shifter Dudu disguised as a customer, dropped a bomb from the drainage pipe to blow up the vault, and used Ships carry away treasure.
Unfortunately, the treasure fell to Caleb. In the hands of Manji, Dandelion was unable to deliver a message to Hawthorne, so Hawthorne kidnapped Dudu and forced him to do so.
Xili raided Hawthorne's base to rescue Dudu, but was forced to open the door to escape again under the attack of Hawthorne and the temple guards.
Ciri, who was teleported back to Skellige, fell into the sea and drowned. The elf mage appeared and rescued her ashore, entrusting Skellige and Astrid to take care of her.
When the Wild Hunt strikes that night, Sketch helps Ciri escape to the seaside to join the elf mage. Ciri and the elf mage had a dispute. The elf mage knocked out Ciri and then drove the boat away from the rocky shore.
Shi Keqiu was killed.
...some time passed.
Shi Keqiu, who was in an undead state, saw the ship reappeared and ran aground. There was no mage or Ciri on it. Only a short, deformed creature got off the ship. The necklace of the same style as the elf mage hung on his chest, and he kept shouting Uma. Uma….
…
After pouring fuel on it, burning the Igni seal, and then collecting the ashes into a skin bag, the witcher sat back next to the sorceress, looking up at the stars in silence.
It was a quiet night, with only the sound of ebb and flow of water.
Slowly, Yennefer leaned her body against him, her voice a little weak, "Hey... I've found all the places I can look for, what should I do next?"
Turning his head to inhale the fragrance of her hair, Geralt comforted her in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Ciri will be fine. We will definitely find her, I promise you."
"You promise? Is there any basis for this?"
"..., well, at least that's what the prophet Victor said."
"Victor?...That damn little bastard!? He actually refused to give me any clues. Did he tell you anything in private?"
"Actually, he didn't say much. He just said to follow your intuition and work hard, and fate will help me find Ciri."
"Being ambiguous, saying something means not saying anything. It's a standard tactic for liars."
"Don't deny it like this, I think his words still have some credibility.
For example, he had previously predicted that if you 'borrowed' Ermia's Ouroboros mask without telling you, not only would it not be helpful in finding Ciri, but it would actually make us classified as 'unwelcome guests'. "
The "Mask of Ouroboros" is a collection of Arch Druilmia and possesses powerful magical power. When Yennefer visited Keldra, she firmly believed that the object could help find Ciri, so after Ermia refused to lend it, she and Geralt stole it and used it.
As a result, the climate in the central part of the Great Skellige Island was seriously abnormal and thunderstorms continued. So far, the Druid "Sky Controllers" are still there to clean up the mess.
Being exposed by her lover, Yennefer glanced sideways at Geralt, "You mean what I did was wrong?"
The witcher was slightly stuck, and then his desire for survival broke out, "Uh... no... I can understand your urgency. Besides, I am also an accomplice because I did not stop it and participated in it.
But what I really want to say is that Victor has always been very friendly to me since we met him, and all the predictions he made have been fulfilled one by one.
Although ironic, the conflict we experienced earlier deepened our understanding of each other. We are friends now, very good friends, even capable of trusting each other between life and death.
I believe he has real reasons for keeping silent, such as leaking it will affect future implementation, otherwise he would definitely tell me! "
"Oh~ can you entrust me to a friend of life and death?" After a few seconds of silence, the sorceress cast a cold arrow, "It is understandable that Mr. Victor has achieved great success in Toussaint and has repeatedly messed with women who are more than ten years older than him. Foolishly, it really fits your and Dandelion’s criteria for choosing friends.”
"Cough cough... cough cough..." Remembering that Victor had revealed that he was having sex with a succubus, Geralt couldn't help coughing.
However, as a smart woman, Yennefer pointed to the return theme so far, "The deformed creature shouting Uma Uma is the only clue we have left..."
But we have no clue where to find it. I think since according to Victor’s tips, you are going in the right direction if you follow your feeling, why not tell me what you think? "
Geralt, who was spared the embarrassment, thought carefully for a moment and then spoke decisively, "As for Uma, we will first search for Uma near the village for two days. If there is no trace, we will go to Willen to have a look."
"Speaking of which, do you have any basis to support your thinking? Or is it just your intuition?"
"Just my gut feeling."
The sorceress kissed the witcher's cheek gently, "Very good, just do it. I will accompany you to Velen. I hope that boy's prediction comes true."
"Hold on, we will find her." The hand hugging her tightened slightly, and Geralt's pupils flashed with a strange light, "But before starting the search, I had a bold idea. It seems that there is still some time before dawn. ?”
"Tsk...you dirty pervert! What are you waiting for?" Yennefer smiled sweetly.
