Chapter 483 Of course I choose to forgive her
The pungent or subtle smells originate respectively from the garlic bunches by the fireplace and the mistletoe around the bed, both of which are used to ward off evil spirits.
After listening to the conversation between the leader and the Bloody Baron with one ear, Angouleme came to Anna. Strenger sat in front of the bed, silently examining the first lady of the Wellen region.
Thanks to the bounty portraits posted on bulletin boards in various villages, her popularity and recognition remain high. The only one who can rival her is her daughter Tamara. Strenger.
The white eyes detect everything clearly.
No wonder the previous search for so long was in vain, because there is about a ten to twenty year age gap between her and the still charming woman in the portrait.
With their graying hair, sallow complexion, and chapped and wrinkled skin, they looked nothing like a couple with the Bloody Baron, let alone the beauty he described as alluring.
To put it bluntly, without preconceptions, it would be impossible to recognize her as the missing baroness.
And even though they are like this, they still refuse to leave. Philip definitely loves Anna...
The black silk thread was wrapped around her wrist, and when she opened her palm, the charred six-pointed star mark was clearly visible in front of her eyes. All the signs were exactly as the leader said - the three old witches tortured Anna and devoured her life force through a contract.
Pouring his lips and shaking his head in sympathy and disdain, Angouleme listened to the baron's confusing statement and reviewed the entire incident.
Many years ago, officer Philip. While marching through the Willen region, Strenger and Anna fell in love at first sight and got married. However, as a professional soldier, he often went to war and could not be with him at home for a long time. This was the source of the tragedy.
After returning from an expedition, Philip suddenly discovered that he had become a cuckold. Anna openly cheated on her neighbor's childhood sweetheart, and her young daughter Tamara... Even calling each other "dad".
What a lovely couple! ! !
The baron was so angry that he killed Jianfu and chopped him into pieces to feed to the dogs. As for Yinwu, because she still loved him deeply, he chose to forgive and wanted to start over with her and her daughter as a family of three.
Unfortunately, God did not follow people's wishes. After witnessing the tragic death of her childhood sweetheart and losing her "true love", Anna deeply hated Philip, refused to communicate with her husband, and fought back with indifference and verbal curses.
Unable to resist his wife's mental abuse, the baron drank to drown his sorrows and lost control of his drunkenness. He began to beat his wife, which is so-called domestic violence.
The life of hurting each other lasted for many years.
Anna was pregnant half a year ago. She did not want to give birth to Philip's child, believing that it was the product of forced pregnancy in marriage. She took the initiative to pray to the "Lady in the Woods", a cult in the south of Willen, and was willing to pay any price as long as she could remove the baby from her belly. fetus.
When Nami Po heard her request, Zhi Po formed a contract with her hair and sucked her life force through the brand on her palm to abort the baby.
At that time, Anna was about to die. Fortunately, the witch doctor from the nearby Dashu Village gave her an amulet to cover her breath and save her life.
What follows is another period of time when couples hurt each other….
Every family has its cupboard.
According to the order of events, there is no doubt that the violent baron is more reasonable, but it is very difficult to distinguish right from wrong in household matters. Moreover, both of the couple have big problems, and many magical martial arts are involved, such as apricot. Independent boxing, gender based boxing...etc.
- put aside the controversy.
Finally, a few months ago, her daughter Tamara, who grew up in such a harsh environment, broke out. The girl stood with Anna and hated her father who beat her mother when he was drunk.
So while Philip was drunk, she ran away with her mother, trying to escape the oppression and shadow of the baron.
It seemed like a successful operation, but unfortunately the amulet was accidentally lost along the way, causing the old witch to send the "Juote Demon" to snatch Anna away.
In order to save her mother, Tamara traveled to Oxenfurt to join the Eternal Flame and become a member of the witch hunters.
The integrated discussion is a mess!
In this regard, the magical prophet Victor gave the Bloody Baron an apocalypse, "Follow the gingerbread and candies on the treetops and explore the nursery deep in the swamp, where the stolen Anna Strenger works."
Victor did not explain in detail that the kindergarten was actually a breeding farm, where the three witches raised children abandoned by their parents as a reserve of fresh meat.
He asked Phillip to only send someone to confirm the location, and then wait for him to return to Willen to solve the problem, and never alert the enemy.
Originally, with the prophet's promise, the Bloody Baron could still hold his temper, but the visit of a white-haired witcher and a black-haired sorceress became the last straw that broke the balance.
They are Geralt of Rivia and Yennefer of Vengerberg.
…
"So, Uma was taken away by them?"
"You...how do you know about Uma?"
"How new! Who do you think you are talking to? You are facing Victor of Keldra, the last prophet of the age of contempt!"
The domineering force that even the enhanced version at night can't control leaks out, the young man's scolding is confident and public, and the bloody baron hides his face with his hands in regret.
…
Going back to a month ago, the business group that visited Crow's Nest brought many new things, including a deformed creature "Uma".
With its short stature, it could only keep shouting "Black horse, dark horse". The business group gave this creature to the bloody baron as a plaything.
Half a month later, Geralt and Yennefer visited after leaving Skellige. They found that Uma was very happy, and immediately negotiated to take it away.
Feeling that the two of them valued Uma very much, Philip certainly couldn't let them go for nothing. In exchange, he asked them to stay temporarily and wait for Victor to come and meet up to rescue Baroness Anna Strenger together.
But since it was about his beloved daughter Ciri, Yennefer had no patience to wait. Under her strong request and guarantee, the baron's restless heart finally couldn't be restrained. He personally led an army of more than a hundred people and rushed into the swamp from the Crow's Nest.
Following the road, they rescued Anna, who was weak and mentally disordered, and the seven or eight children she was responsible for taking care of.
However, at this moment, the three witches, unwilling to suffer losses, summoned the sly demons and water ghosts to attack the baron and his party.
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce. Although the witcher and the sorceress won the battle, the old witches who were unwilling to lose activated the curse and tried to kill Anna Strenger.
Although Yennefer's spell of resistance saved the life of the baroness, Anna's memory was shattered and her mind was confused.
After trying to treat him, the sorceress said she was powerless, but she also offered a possible treatment - the sage in the depths of the Blue Mountains.
At this point, Geralt and Yennefer fulfilled their promise to rescue the Baroness, took Uma through the portal, and returned to Kaer Morhen.
As for the Bloody Baron, if Victor did not show up, he was going to take Anna to the Blue Mountains in a few days to look for the sage the sorceress mentioned.
Philip's narration came to an end, and Victor leaned back tactically, folded his hands across his chest and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Seeing this, Angouleme blinked, and out of sympathy for the cuckold, waved to the baron to keep quiet and not disturb Victor.
After following for many years, she knew that the leader was quite unhappy now, because the established plan had obviously collapsed completely... It was said that Uma's success was Ciri, but Uma was intercepted by someone!
Asking for help now would only make him a punching bag, and the leader must think it over and come up with a new plan.
...
As the girl expected, the young witcher was indeed dissatisfied. He didn't like drastic changes and didn't like losing control, especially when things could have been solved at once.
Originally, Tamara and the witch hunters of the Eternal Fire would also join the battle as friendly forces in this swamp raid, but now they have not appeared at all, which means that the buffer time reserved by him is effective. He should have deployed ahead of time and perfectly connected the "swamp battle" in his previous life memory.
However, as a plot trigger, "Sword of Destiny". Geralt is definitely a man who cannot be controlled. The sorceress Yennefer who traveled with him is even more confident and hard-line who will not listen to advice.
Since she has investigated the clues of Uma and seen the deformed creature with her own eyes, she will not wait for Victor to arrive to solve the problem.
So under the guarantee of the sorceress, the swamp battle broke out in advance, with casualties and a mess.
However, their actions were not without results. First of all, Anna was indeed fished out. Secondly, the seven or eight children who were originally raised as food were also rescued by the White Wolf. They will be sent to the kindergarten in Novigrad in a few days.
Looking for the cause of one's own irritability gradually disappeared... What really made the boy calm was that among all the mistakes, he was also at fault.
If you think about it, you will understand that there should be many commissions in the original Skellige that would hinder the White Wolf, but I solved a batch of them first.
Leo, who came to the archipelago last year, probably solved another batch. The Sword of Destiny really had nothing to do in the archipelago, so it was not surprising that it appeared early.
But in this case, the plan had to be changed again...
The fire in the fireplace was blazing, the red and yellow light was dancing and swaying, and the wood was burning and crackling.
Recalling what he saw and heard when he entered the Crow's Nest, Victor, who had thought it through, rubbed his chin and broke the silence with a gentle tone, "Okay! What's past is past. I don't blame you for acting rashly. I can understand your feelings.
Don't even think about going to the Blue Mountains to find that sage. Yennefer is afraid that you will stop her and refuse to let Uma go. She wants to make you happy and give you hope.
She can't do it herself, and Ada Emin is not much stronger."
Putting his hand on the baron's shoulder, he suppressed his rage, "But it doesn't matter. I can do what she can't do!
I can help Anna regain her sanity and recuperate her body. It's a little difficult to cure her completely, but it's no problem to restore 70% of her charm.
It's just that I need you to do two things."
The vast ocean is indifferent!
The calmness of Dinghai Shenzhen easily crushes the panic of a headless fly.
The bloody baron looked at the witcher eagerly, "Sir Victor, anything! As long as you ask! Anything!"
