Chapter 325 324. The Sword of Destiny has two blades
“No.” The druid wearing a sealskin coat said decisively.
“Calanthe has changed her mind. Ciri will no longer fulfill her engagement with Prince Christine. She has her own plans. In addition, because King Aiweier sent soldiers to intercept the caravan on the road, The reason for blaming the tree spirit is that I no longer have any trust in his character, and Calanthe also values my judgment."
"We will not even stop in Nastrog. , I will take the little guy back to Sintra directly. Come with us, Geralt."
In the darkening night, several people did not make it to the next village. , can only raise a bonfire on the roadside.
Three witchers and a sturdy druid sat around the fire, talking in low voices.
Xili was wrapped in a thick fur and fell asleep next to the fire.
Mossack and Geralt were discussing things about Cintra and Ciri.
While Lan En and Vesemir were exchanging various techniques of witchers, they paid half of their attention to the conversation next to them.
After Vesemir learned that Ciri was Geralt's unexpected son, he naturally began to regard this little girl as a descendant.
And Ciri is indeed quite likable.
“So I said that the witcher should also have some long-range coping methods. The seal is at best a mid-range one. People who draw bows and arrows in the distance have no point when facing Geralt. There was pressure, but I just killed the two leaders, and they ran away immediately."
The young man was selling his theory of "longer hands advantage" to the old demon hunter.
Vesemir is not the kind of stubborn person who refuses to change his ways. He nodded frequently to express his approval while listening.
"Hey." The old demon hunter suddenly sighed with emotion.
"Times are changing so fast now. In my era, although people lived a hard life, people are people and monsters are monsters. There is no need for a demon hunter to think about the problem of 'what to do if you encounter a crossbowman' . A hundred years have passed, and things are completely different now.”
Vesemir’s body is far from being ‘old’, but his spirit is starting to look like that of an ordinary old man. A strong time filter.
Anyway, Lan En doesn't believe that in the more difficult times in the past, there would be no bandit Roadhog.
At most, these people at that time had no way to get military equipment, and if they got it, they probably didn't know how to use it or maintain it.
So much so that the old demon hunter didn't even leave a deep impression when he solved them.
"This time I went to Brugg to collect the bounty, and I bought a hand crossbow to carry on my back. You are right, Lan. People have to adapt to the times."
After finishing speaking, Vesemir looked strange. He glanced at the young man and muttered a few more words.
"Just use the crossbow. Not many people can use the release frequency and accuracy of your set of seals. Has your Bear School integrated the formula of the Griffin School?"
Wei After Lan En dismantled the launching device on his left arm, Samuel kept touching his chin with a complicated expression.
The frequency of seal release can be said to be good. Before the Demon Hunters were divided into factions and operated as the Demon Hunter Order, he had a good relationship with many future Griffin Schools.
Those witchers who use the Trial of Grass recipe will add mutation inducers that enhance their spellcasting abilities. For example, the mutation inducer of Deer Head Spirit, or the ordinary blue mutation inducer that has a higher chance of appearing.
Those people can also issue the seals continuously for a period of time after drinking the magic potion that increases vitality recovery.
But few mages have tried this idea of condensing the impact of [Alder] onto the base of a metal pipe!
With limited energy, most young spellcasters will pursue bigger and stronger magic, and few will delve into control.
The two demon hunters were talking about the combination of the "far, medium and near" combat system, while the druid's conversation on the other side seemed to be unpleasant.
“This is already the third time! Geralt! Your fate has crossed three times! Do you want to tell me that this is a coincidence? In this vast land, in this numerous Among the living beings. Two people with huge differences in status and living in different areas have met three times because of the so-called 'coincidence'?"
"How many orphans in this world can't even see their parents in this life? Side 2! And now you want to tell me that your encounter with Ciri was all a coincidence?"
The strong druid asked in a sultry and sarcastic manner.
Lan felt that if Ciri hadn't been sleeping beside him, Mossack would have started roaring right now.
"So what if it's not a coincidence?" Geralt seemed not to feel the pressure at all. His face was expressionless and he was still fiddling with the fire.
“I made Shili’s parents swear an oath to ask them to reward me according to the law of accident. Yes, the reward has appeared, and I am sleeping next to us at this time, but as the person receiving the reward, I am qualified to refuse Do you accept it? Let me tell you the truth, I just want to be a helpful demon hunter at this moment, and I don’t want the promised reward! Just like the Ike Knight of Denesler, I can exorcise demons for free. Isn't that a problem?"
"It is indeed a problem," Druid said, "You have the right to refuse the reward, but I must emphasize that this behavior comes with risks. As the old saying goes, 'Fate. The sword.'"
"There are two blades." Geralt finished for him, "Damn it, I keep hearing this sentence these past two days."
"Always. If you hear it, then you should listen to it! The old saying makes sense!" Mossak choked.
"I don't want little Xili to be homeless and have her little hands covered with calluses for holding swords. I don't want Calanthe to scold me, or even scold me to kill me. But I don't want to look at Kalanthe even more. Lancer and Ciri are in a dangerous situation!"
"I'm different from you, Geralt. I believe in 'fate', but you asked for reward from fate. He rejected it three times in a row! Do you think the Sword of Destiny is just a piece of wood coated with gold foil? If it falls, someone will die!"
"How many times have you solved it? Curse? You should know that fighting against that kind of power will only make the situation worse. The power of fate is worse than the curse. Why did you, an expert, turn into a fool?"
Mo? Ssak and Geralt have also known each other for a long time. When he ridiculed Geralt, he always seemed to hate him for not crying even after seeing the coffin.
“I know, you don’t want Ciri to follow you to live the life of a witcher. You have been a witcher since you were a child. You have suffered discrimination and targeting, as well as danger and death. Do you feel like entrusting a princess to your care? For the witcher, this is a bad idea that even a ghoul can't come up with."
Mossack looked at Geralt's profile sincerely.
"Just think of it as saving her, saving her grandmother! Take her away, Geralt!"
