"Go to someone she knows for help?" Geralt asked a question: "Or, would she worry about Avalak and return to the place where they were attacked? It is very likely that I understand this child, she If you miss something, you will definitely return to the path you have traveled before and do a little bit of searching."

"It's just right. When you go to Skelliger to inform Ye Naifa, you can also investigate whether there is Xili's whereabouts." Zelin touched his chin: "I will also help you pay attention to this matter. If there is Xili's I will inform you as soon as possible. Oh, I almost forgot a very important thing. Geralt, if you meet any demon hunters, remember to tell them not to drink any poppy milk."

The 2560th chapter Gwendelin's holy city

For the rest of the time, Zelin and Geralt exchanged information they knew.

Geralt didn't know anything about the Renegade. The term renegade warlock appeared after the Treaty of Novigrad was signed and the Warlock Order was established, referring to those who did not follow the Warlock’s terms and orders of the Order. In the past, there were also a group of renegade warlocks in Kelmohan. They were hired by the demon hunters to develop new potions, decoctions, magic bombs and improved mutation techniques for the demon hunters.

"Someone hired renegade warlocks to target demon hunters? Oh, I really can't figure out, what value do we have to make their employers care so much?" Geralt shrugged: "Most of the savings on demon hunters only need It is exhausted in one winter, and the remaining coins may not be enough for a week's salary of the renegade warlock. Will it be another person like Jaques who wants to steal the secrets of mutations?"

Geralt's attack on the Salamander Gang is still fresh, and that was the first thing he encountered after losing his memory.

"It’s not like it. Don’t forget. Back then, the Salamander Gang only attacked Kyle Morkhan when it was hired by an employer. The Salamander Gang’s employer was because it had sufficient funding sources, whether it was Atha. Their sponsorship is still their income from making powdered anesthetics. But after the war for so many years, how many people in the north besides the king can have such a sum of money?"

"When I see other people, I will tell them. I remember Lambert is also making money near Kyle Morkhan and Tritog." Geralt looked back again, and the people in the temple still didn't come out. : "What will happen in the temple? They have been in for a while."

"Don't worry, I met these witch hunters on the way, so I came here early." Zelin waved his hand: "I don't think it will be too long. This is what Gwendelin is best at... ...Well, they are out."

The wooden gate of the temple was pushed open to both sides.

The baron and his daughter walked out with a low expression, but Gladden was still the same, he was just looking around, observing the surrounding situation and the manners of people. There were still only these three people, and Mrs. Anna did not come out.

"What's the matter?"

Zelin walked to the door: "Just ask them and you'll know."

Zelin arrived here early this morning. He saw Mrs. Anna again from the crow's den a few months ago. This is a simple and simple, but complicated and complicated family dispute. Zelin didn't know why Geralt was involved in such a thing, maybe it was just because of Hilly, otherwise few people would be willing to reconcile such family disputes.

They were standing on the edge of the square, the **** baron looked low, Tamara kept looking back, and Gladden looked at the refugees who were busy with work, and examined the buildings in a style he had never seen before.

Geralt walked towards them, but Zelin, he went directly to the temple, and the worried people did not notice Zelin's figure.

"How's the situation?" Geralt asked, "Got it?"

"I never knew in the past that Anna actually had my child." The Bloody Baron sat on the long stone chair with his hands covering his face: "I have never been competent... She is inconvenient now. When I went back, she decided to stay here and wait until the child was born before considering the rest. I promised her. I went back to the crow’s nest to prepare things and houses for the future child. After the child was born, I would take other things with me. Someone came to pick her up."

"You will take care of it? How could it be possible!" Tamara pinched her waist with one hand: "Wait for you to be drunk before throwing people down the second floor? Or light the house with a torch? No! I'll wait for my mother to recover. Later, I will take her away and take her to live in Osenfurt."

The Bloody Baron raised his head and waved his hand: "You? Take her to live in Osenfurt? You are only able to feed yourself, you are only a child, and you have joined the witch hunter, and you have to hunt and kill the warlock every day. If your mother is in trouble, who can take care of her? Not to mention that she has just given birth and is still very weak. Take her to Osenfurt, where she is not familiar with her life? No, she wants to go back to the crow's nest with me, that is In this way. If you are a little more sober, you should also go back with me and stop being a witch hunter."

"But I will definitely not hurt my mother. Unlike you, every time you get drunk, everyone will hide from you and hide your sword..."

"I swear, I will never touch any alcohol again, and I will never do anything to my family again, absolutely not!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Geralt was about to go to persuade him, but Gladden had already walked over.

"Listen to your argument. You are arguing about a person as if it were an object." He walked between the two of them: "No one has the right to impose his ideas on Mrs. Anna. She should leave her wherever she goes. Decide for yourself. Now we have all seen that she is in a good state, and her mental state is also good. In this case, everything here can be over. I think this is just a refugee camp, at least until now, I have not heard any preaching. The preaching voice of the scholar. When she decides to leave, she will naturally decide where to go."

"Then I want to stay, lest he bring someone to **** my mother away!" Tamara said.

"No, you can't." Gladden clasped his waist and shook his head: "The Eternal Fire will soon give you a new mission. You have to return to Osenfurt with me and set off immediately after rest. But at least you can. Don't worry, your mother is safe, and she is living well here."

Tamara's face was a little sad, but in the end, she lowered her head and did not refute Gladden's words.

The baron walked to Geralt: "Thanks to you this time, Demon Hunter, otherwise I don't know how incompetent I am. If you have a chance, you must come to the Crow's Den."

"No problem." Jello nodded.

In the temple, Zelin saw Gwendelin.

"Qing has reached this point, why should I avoid it?"

This temple still used the temples of the previous three old witches, and Gwendelin has not had time to renovate a real church. There are not enough workers here, and there is not enough food to support them, let alone materials. Perhaps a suitable temple could be built first, but for Gwendelin, it was either the best or nothing, and waited until it was satisfactory before starting.

"It's all sorts of small troubles, but I met my friends. It seems that this place is developing well. If there are more people, maybe one day I will be able to return to Janor Lund. The extent of it."

Zelin stood by the window, watching the people coming and going outside. The former baron Wieselard is still here to take refuge. His daughter is the most trusted assistant, responsible for passing on Gwendelin's ideas and orders to outsiders. Normally, Gwendelin and others rarely show up and stand with civilian believers. Most of the time, believers only pray in front of altars and idols, and those who are more like girls appointed as sacrificials will The content of people's prayers came to the temple at night, standing in front of the portrait and reporting to Gwendelin.

It sounds like a fire girl, but there are no flames to watch.

"When the war is over, I think I should be able to say hello to the rulers here. It is said that the war will not last long. If this place is still controlled by Tamoria, there may be more believers here, and more. Big place. At least, the temple shouldn’t be like it is now, just thatched huts."

"Qing takes the mission of rebuilding the holy city, and I am very relieved." The snake's tail dragged on the ground slipped, and Gwendelin walked to Zelin: "However, there are demons infested, why?"

According to Gwendelin, Willen has been very uneasy recently, and many people have haunted the neighborhood. If it hadn't been for Zelin to come here, perhaps the silver knight Raydo who greeted the witch hunter would not be so friendly. But compared with witch hunters, there is a more important threat.

Wild hunting scouts appeared in Willen more than once, and not long ago, wild hunting soldiers had just attacked a village, and the rumors spread almost throughout Willen.

Chapter 2561 The Weird Wuma

"Wild Hunt? You mean the demon spirit knight in the sky?"

Zelin spent half a day in Whispering Swamp, asking Gwendelin about what happened in the local church and whether he encountered any difficulties. All energy of Gwendelin was devoted to reviving the past church. At first, because there was no flame, Gwendelin was worried about whether the people here would become believers, but later facts proved that this kind of worry was unnecessary, because there were strong enough armed guards to provide people with a peaceful and safe land. , People will believe that the gods here are indeed blessing them.

"Yes, I remember that it was not the first time they came to Willen. They appeared before the war broke out." Zelin rode on the horse, and the Baron, his guards, and Geralt and his party walked towards the sunset together. Crow's Nest: "How much news has been about wild hunting recently?"

At dusk, the baron decided to leave. He invited Geralt to go to the Crow's Den, and Zelin was going to Novigrad, just in time.

Considering the time, the ship where Philippa is located should have arrived at the Novigrad port this morning. It takes about a day to ride from Willen to Novigrad. So the baron gave a horse to Zelin. He brought about thirty soldiers to Lower Waren, but under Geralt's persuasion, he left all the guards in Lower Waren, and entered the Whispering Swamp together with Geralt. He came with three horses, one of which was reserved for Anna, but since Mrs. Anna did not come back, he was fortunate to give the horse to Zelin.

Otherwise, Zelin's journey to Novigrad would be delayed for another two or three days.

"Ah, demon spirit knight, I have heard a lot of news. Just twenty days ago, a village of Willen was attacked." The baron touched his fluffy hair covered with white silk: "The surviving villager said A group of skeleton-like knights rushed into the village, killed a few people, and kidnapped the rest. Many people were terrified by this story. The people in a village disappeared out of thin air, and there was still no sign of a blizzard. , Who can fight against these monsters?"

Zelin looked at Geralt, who nodded.

"The deceased was named Hancock. Only one villager hid in the house and escaped, and the rest were kidnapped."

"In the past, wild hunting often kidnapped children. From the Dragon Mountains in the north to the Nilfgard Desert in the south, they are all children of elves or mixed blood between elves and humans." Zelin frowned: "But this is the first time I listened. Say, they will kidnap villagers collectively. What do they kidnap so many people for?"

"In the night without stars, the elder Ayn Ayers will come, with hoarfrost on their faces and eyes as white as the moon." Geralt read out a prophecy of Ayn Elves in ancient Chinese: "Wild Hunt has been following Xili, maybe because Xili came back. But I don’t understand what their kidnapping was for. In the past, children were arrested to find the heirs of the blood of the elders. Xili is a hybrid of humans and elves. , But kidnapping a village obviously has nothing to do with looking for Xili."

"To be honest, Geralt, I sometimes wonder if the emperor’s information is wrong?" Zelin scratched his cheek: "What you told me today, about the emperor’s information, whether it’s the Skellig Islands. The explosion, or the witness of Willen, or the wind and snow in the Mahakam mountains, all the clues he found are what happened before Xili and I met. If she finds Awalaq, then she and Xian Who left this world?"

"I don't know." Geralt stared at the road ahead, "but I will continue to look for her. If she is still hunted down in a certain corner of the world, I must find her. Ye Zaishi Kelly Jie, she may have a clue that I didn't find."

"After my investigation in Novigrad is over, I will go back and take the wooden box and send it to Skelly." Zelin said, "Maybe Ye Naifah can use it."

Baron Wieserard was very dissatisfied with the **** baron Dove’s way of occupying the magpie’s nest, but compared with the more than two hundred soldiers under his command and the **** baron Nilfgard admitted, he has lost the rule of Willen. . The Nilfgaards recognized Philip Stranger as the ruler of Willen and really canonized him a baron.

Compared with the North, where the title of nobility is highly valued, the Nilfgadians have often adopted barons and appointing mayors on the road to conquer the noble leaders who have rights and soldiers in the occupied areas. This is exactly why Bren, the Cat of Lelo, can occupy a place in the newly conquered province of Nilfgard.

He has soldiers, gold, and ambitions. The Nilfgaards suffered heavy losses after their defeat in the last battle. The domestic army has been unable to maintain the advantage of the frontline military, but still retain enough soldiers in the vast new conquered land in the rear. Deter bandits and rebels.

Therefore, in Nifogad today, there are various armed militia groups, bandits and mercenaries established by Nifogad immigrants from the south. The empire’s way of keeping the roads clear is also very simple. Reached an agreement with the gang and used the contradiction between them to order that they were not allowed to rob merchants holding the Empire badge, and the robbed pedestrians and villages would not be ruled by the Empire soldiers. According to the Imperial Court, that is the legal right of the Assassin’s Guild and the gang.

The last time Zelin was in the south, he had seen gangsters and bounty hunters hired by the Nilfgad people. The Nilfgad people living in the city of Urn had only one thing that cared about, and that was the safety of the coastline. And whether the tax can be delivered to the imperial capital of Nilfgard on time.
