Chapter 39 The Lion and the Wolf
Lann frowned and pushed the door open with great force, making a loud noise, attracting the attention of everyone in the house.
"Your king has done something even more stupid now, Baron." Lann whispered, "I met Nastrog's king's army outside. They attacked Cintra's caravan outside and blamed the tree spirits. ——They seem to need the death of you and the princess very much.
Therefore, Verden is now an enemy in my eyes." "
So please pay attention to your words and speak less, Baron. Save your energy and recover more, 伱It's going to be needed."
There were three people in the room, two of them strange men that Lan had never seen before. One is sitting and the other is lying down.
The third person is Ciri, who is now rushing towards Lan.
Just when Xili's body was flying towards this side, the familiar system prompt sound sounded at the same time:
[Mission - Princess in Distress - Completed]
At this moment, the big stone in Lann's heart finally fell to the ground. Nothing unexpected happened to Xili, and her destiny returned to its original trajectory.
As long as everything goes on normally, he can relax and use this opportunity to get other things he wants.
"Lan!" Shiri threw herself into the familiar arms, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. At this time, she finally felt scared. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time surged up in one breath, and her little body trembled. Begins to cry.
This is what a normal little princess looks like. Geralt thought to himself.
The wolf-sect witcher looked at Lann. The man in front of him is tall and has a calm temperament, but the lines on his face still have a greenish feel. No older than eighteen, probably younger.
He looks very handsome, even too handsome, and his golden hair seems to attract the sun. A suit of cold armor paired with such a face is definitely a weapon for harvesting those noble ladies.
It's hard to judge the strength in terms of strength, and you can't see muscles when wearing armor, but being able to break into this place alone can prove a lot of things.
On the other side, Lan comforted Xili softly, and at the same time, he also focused on looking at the two people in the room.
The one on the ground has nothing to say, Baron Fresnet, the leader of Verden's wedding party this time. An unimportant supporting role.
As for the other one—Lane looked at him carefully.
He has milky white hair, a handsome and weathered face, and a scar in the orbit of his left eye that barely managed to hurt the eye, adding a harsh look to his handsome face. His eyes were amber cat eyes, strange, deep and melancholy, with an air of indifference to everything.
He carries two swords on his back, wears an alchemy backpack strap, and wears a wolf head-style necklace around his neck. Wearing close-fitting black leather armor, there are chainmail-style reinforcements on the shoulders, arms, chest and abdomen to enhance defense as much as possible without affecting flexibility. Strong muscles support the armor bulgingly.
A noble lady raised in a boudoir might hesitate at this slightly dangerous appearance. In the eyes of women with a little experience, this is a walking hormone. It is not surprising that he will semi-passively become a pile driver in the future.
In the future, his stories will be compiled into poems by his poet friends and circulated for centuries, becoming important research materials for historians, mystics and writers.
In front of me is: the true protagonist of the Witcher series, the witch piledriver, the god of gambling in Gwent, the future legendary witcher of the Wolf faction, and now nicknamed "White Wolf" - Geralt of Rivia.
He has the personality of most decent protagonists. He is cold on the outside but hot on the inside. Although this hotness is hidden deep in his heart due to the indifference of the mainland, he will only open his heart to a few people. He is funny when getting along with friends, shows sympathy when facing the weak, is loyal and reliable to his comrades, and is not afraid of sacrifice.
It’s just that the current Geralt probably hasn’t grown to his future perfection yet. He still has a long period of confusion before he adopts Ciri and completes mutual redemption with her. Even though Geralt's actual age is actually over ninety years old.
Xili finally vented her grievances and fears, and the child's emotions came and went quickly.
Seeing Lann's eyes colliding with Geralt's in mid-air, she became interested and began to introduce Lann happily:
"Lan, this is Geralt of Rivia. During this time, he came from the tree. He protected me in his hands, and he even saved me from the jaws of such a big centipede. He also said he was a witcher, Lann. He was the witcher Mossack mentioned in class!"
Shirley tried her best to open her arms and gesture, although no matter how she waved her short arms, they could not compare with the length of the giant centipede. Then she buried her head in Lan's arms and said in a voice that only two people could hear. :
"He said he was Geralt of Rivia. Grandma and Mossak both mentioned him. He is that Geralt."
Lann nodded to show that he knew, and then thanked Geralt. Even if Geralt is Ciri's adoptive father in the future, he is still an outsider to Lan and Ciri now.
"Thank you for taking care of Ciri during this time, Geralt of Rivia."
Geralt waved his hand: "She is a very smart child - she even gave me a false name."
Witcher He lowered his head and smiled to himself. He was wary of everyone, except children. Who would have thought that he would be deceived by a child today. But it doesn't affect him, the witcher just finds it interesting.
Baron Fresnet seemed to have finished digesting the news brought by Lann and accepted the fact that he had been politically abandoned by King Verdon, or in other words, he had expected it. Now that I have confirmed it, I feel a sense of relief that a big stone has fallen from my heart.
"The witcher." Fresnet tried to join the chat. He felt that he needed to say something to ease his mood. "This is the first time this child has seen a witcher. This was not the case in our time. Nowadays, witchers There are not many left, you may never see one in your lifetime."
Ciri seemed a little dissatisfied with Fresnet interjecting into their conversation. After taking a look at the injured baron, he remembered something interesting.
"Lan, did you know that Fresnet was cursed by a witch and turned into a cormorant? The kind of cormorant that likes to eat fish! It was Geralt who turned him back into a human." Lann touched Ciri's
head , echoed: "I heard this story in the tavern. Baron Fresnet of Verden, but the story said that he turned into a swan and had ten brothers. Her sister knitted a sweater that knitted them all. Transformed back into a human, this version seems to be more romantic..."
"What a damn romance, what a damn story!" Fresnet seemed very dissatisfied with the adaptation of the story. "Ten brothers, plus my sister and me, then my mother Didn't they give birth to twelve children? Did those rumors treat my mother as a rabbit?"
Both the Witcher and Ciri laughed happily.
Freixenet is cursing here. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of two figures walking into the hut, and he immediately stopped talking.
PS: When I was writing this title today, I suddenly felt that the Game of Thrones flavor was too strong... Don’t worry, the protagonist and the White Wolf will not fight to the death. perhaps.
PS2: It would be fun if there was a deer school.
