Chapter 35 Lann wanted to know what went wrong.
The tree spirit drew his bow and arrow in front of the man. The pair of comrades who had been fighting side by side just now suddenly became tense.
"I want to go to Duan Kanal." Behind the man, Shiri suddenly said dullly, "I have no other place to go." "
Child, you don't know what you are talking about." Protecting Shiri The man whispered, but put down the hand holding the sword hilt.
He may be helpful, but he's never nosy. This is one of the rules that people like them have summarized over the years - only help those who ask for help.
Upon seeing this, Dryad Brian put away his bow and arrow with satisfaction.
"Kid, you don't know what decision you just made." The man sighed again.
Dryad Brian went to investigate the surrounding area. According to her, the giant centipede of Yogorn is a social animal. They need to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by the centipede swarm, so they need a tree spirit who is familiar with the environment to find a way to go.
"In fact, I know." Ciri whispered, glancing secretly in the direction of the dryad.
"That's a dryad, right? I've learned about them. The dryads are a female-only race, so they will capture little human girls and then use some dryad magic to turn them into little dryads. , right?"
"I have also read in books that they capture men of other races to have children, but this makes me confused about the principle."
For children, magic seems to be easier to understand than physiological science . .
The man looked at Shiri in surprise. He was amazed at the knowledge and reason shown in Shiri's words: "Well...it's hard for me to explain to you the principle of the reproduction of tree spirits, little lady. It may be the conversion of magic. It's easier."
Facing the man's surprised gaze, Xili sniffed, she seemed to have a cold.
"I also know that this forest is full of them, and you definitely can't defeat them. You are not Lann." Xili looked at the tree spirit not far away and whispered, "Lan taught me, I As a public servant... I will definitely encounter situations where I am kidnapped, and I will encounter bad guys who are more powerful than me.
He told me that in this case, I must first agree to the other party's conditions and give myself a chance to escape. Wait for the other party to relax their vigilance. I'll find a chance to sneak out and find a place to hide, and then wait for him to come and rescue me."
The man didn't know what kind of expression to make, because the little girl in front of him was so unexpected.
But he was pessimistic about Cili's plan: "You are very smart, little Cilla. But I don't think the one who taught you this method... Lann? He can run here to save you." "Lan will definitely come
. Yes, definitely!" Xili raised her head proudly and dismissed the man's doubts.
"You saved me and were willing to confront the tree spirit for me. You seem like a good person. Lann taught me that I can use my own advantages to find someone to help me when I encounter difficulties, instead of doing it myself. ." Xili then looked at the man.
"I'm hiring you to protect me now. I have a lot of money, which is enough for a mercenary like you to have food and clothing for the rest of his life. If you have any enemies, I can also ask someone to chop off their heads for you. Don't worry, Everything I say counts. My grandmother gave me such a right."
"Do you have the right to chop off other people's heads at will? That's not a good grandmother." The man smiled and said, "It seems that you are still a princess? You Which country's princess are you from?"
"You are not allowed to speak ill of my grandmother. If it weren't for you saving me, what you just said would be enough to cut off your head." Xili said angrily, "Because you saved me, That's why you have this privilege.
Lan also taught me that I can't take other people's sacrifices for granted, even if that person is willing to sacrifice his life for me. If someone else dies for me, I will give him a reward, Be kind to his family.
You just blocked the centipede on my behalf and saved my life. So I give you the privilege, forgive you for knocking me away, and forgive you for the rude words you just said to my grandmother. But you must also pay attention to your words. Do you understand? Otherwise I will take back your privileges."
The man felt that the little girl in front of him was so interesting. He had seen too many princesses, but there had never been a princess like the one in front of him. She was so... I couldn't think of words to describe it immediately.
"Your Lann must not have a good relationship with your grandmother." The man teased, "But you are right, your highness. I will cherish the privileges you have given me." "Don't care about things you shouldn't care about
. Things." Ciri sniffed, "If you perform well, I can even make you a knight, understand? You can become a noble. But I won't personally make you a knight, because only Lan is my knight. , my knight can only be him."
"Yes, yes." The man coaxed in a low voice, "So Sir Lann is your knight. Speaking of which, I met Baron Fresnet outside the forest, and he Said he lost a princess. You are the princess he lost, right?" "
Lan is an earl now, but he will always be my knight. When you rescue me, you can also get his Friendship. He is a very powerful person, you will know it." Ciri said, "So don't mention Fresnet again, even if he is your friend."
Brian, who was observing the situation nearby, came back, and she reminded The two set out early. Night was approaching and they needed to find a place to camp.
Ciri suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "No. Fresnet can't enter the forest, why can you, and why doesn't the tree spirit kill you?" "
Because strictly speaking, I'm not a human being. "The man replied, "I am Geralt of Rivia, a witcher." "
Okay, Geralt of Rivia. Get ready, I'm going to run away tonight."
... ...
Lann knew something must be wrong now, but he didn't know exactly where it was.
According to the plot of the original work, the demon hunter Geralt will accept the commission of King Brugg in these days to convey the peace agreement to the Queen of the Dryads, and accidentally rescues Ciri who was attacked by Yugorn's giant centipede.
The experienced demon hunter found out the identity of the inexperienced princess after a little questioning. And decided to take Ciri to Verden to meet the prince.
Ciri, who didn't want to be kissed, immediately hugged the dryad's lap and wanted to follow him to the dryad capital of Brokilon. It wasn't until she met the Dryad Queen that she knew she was about to be transformed into a Dryad.
In the end, for some unknown reason (Lan guessed it was the ancient blood), Ciri was not affected by the dryad's transformation magic, and the Dryad Queen allowed Geralt to leave with Ciri.
The above plot should have ended one day ago. According to normal development, Ciri could be spanked by Queen Calanthe in the palace at this time.
The fact is that Xili is still in the forest without any news.
Looking at these tree spirits in front of him, Lann needed to know what went wrong.
Lann stepped over the corpses of Verden soldiers on the ground and walked to the front of the team, shouting loudly: "Dryants, we come for peace!"
