Chapter 89 The plan begins.
Li Nuo lowered his head, extracting the information from the panel in his mind.
Cha Bai looked at him with her eyes, searching for the answer.
Maggie was silent, and when she saw the five of them talking, she said: "Kevir was once a county of Redania. Now it has signed a treaty with the Nilfgaard Empire and is a tributary of the northern continent. The empire is interested in There are only two factors in Kevir's goal, the Holy See of Sorceresses and rich mineral resources."
Li Nuo said: "You may be considered rich in Novigrad, but in Kevir you may be at most a shoe shiner, and you are not. You have to pay a thousand marks first to join the Shoeshine Guild."
"Yes, you know it very well." Maggie said, "So this is the richest place within the jurisdiction of the Nilfgaard Empire. As a demon hunter, you are here. Accept some simple tasks and earn enough money for you to buy a manor in Velen. You can also go to the Sorceress Church to seduce some sorceresses. I know that is your hobby as a demon hunter." Li Nuo agreed: "
Because The lifespan of witchers is too long, so they can only be combined with sorceresses who have the same longevity."
Maggie nodded: "Look, you have many opportunities to make money, Mr. witcher, you have to be clear about one thing, times have changed. , now there are armies, muskets, and cannons. As the main force to exorcise monsters, demon hunters are no longer the mainstream. It is even possible that you are the only demon hunter in this world. Although I hate you demon hunters, I can’t Deny, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw you, and some lovely memories appeared in my mind, but that was hundreds of years ago." "So you don't
want me to die?"
"What I don't want is to be with you. A memory from my past is completely gone. Whether it is a witcher, a sorceress or a vampire, after living for hundreds of years, I can only rely on memory to lick my daily dreams." Maggie held her chin in her hands and said helplessly: "Times It has changed... Vampires are different from before. Don't be obsessed with Kevir's vampires. That is not something you can touch, Mr. Demon Hunter."
Li Nuo lowered his head.
"It seems that you are hesitating, which is a good thing." Maggie looked at Cha Bai and said, "Miss Warlock, I don't have any vacancies here. You can go to the hotel next door." Cha Bai looked at Li Nuo
. Knowing one thing, Li Nuo had no hesitation, he was thinking about it.
During the deduction, Li Nuo's eyes would show a seriousness and reliability that is usually difficult to notice. At this time, there was no trace of impropriety in him, as if he was a completely different person.
And in the next conversation, he will draw himself into a parallel line with everything.
"Ms. Maggie, let me help you, how can you help us?" Li Nuo suddenly asked.
Maggie frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?"
"Keville is a rich place. I heard that there are some vampires here, but most of them get along well with people, and some are in better places. You can live in a manor, but you can only open a brothel in the slums, call yourself the Queen of the Night, and then live in a rat's nest like a haggard old man waiting to die, why?" Li Nuo said He laughed out loud: "Hahaha...haha, you can't leave here. You take in some vampires who have offended those guys in the old city, become an old bustard under the protection of humans, and then give yourself a very noble-looking person. Name."
Maggie's eyes changed.
Li Nuo continued: "Hundreds of years ago, there was a vampire related to Geralt, also called the Queen of the Night. She ran a brothel called the House of Night in the Vizima Trading Area. I was thinking, Why do you want to give yourself a name that has nothing to do with you but something to do with Geralt?"
"Why?" Maggie wanted to hear more.
"Because there are some things that only demon hunters can do, such as solving problems about monsters." Li Nuo said solemnly: "Ms. Maggie, times have changed, there are guns and cannons, but times have not changed, because demon hunters It hasn't disappeared, there is another one here."
Maggie was silent.
"You are waiting for someone to solve all the troubles so that you vampires can at least be the same as before, aren't you?" Li Nuo tilted his head and smiled.
Maggie suddenly laughed: "Let me tell you, you are not as good as Geralt."
Li Nuo said: "I know, he is a hero, I am just a bastard."
"You have a very clear understanding of yourself. Maggie paused and said, "There is only one thing I can help you with. I can teach you deeper alchemy." "
Ah? What do you mean?"
"I know a mutation potion from Toussaint. ."
Li Nuo thought that it might be the mutation system of the DLC Blood and Wine in "The Witcher 3", which increases the skills and attributes of the demon hunter, making the demon hunter more powerful in combat.
"
Do you want to use the apprenticeship ceremony?" "I don't like this." Maggie said, "But as a courtesy, you should at least tell me your name?"
Li Nuo said without thinking: "Edward Roger."
Maggie narrowed her eyes. Squinting: "I can tell the truth from lies."
"That's it..." Li Nuo smiled: "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with mercy!" Then he took a deep breath. Tone: "I am the number one artist at the Seventh Heaven Newspaper of the Holy Knights Church in Mount Weihu. I also breed armored Pokémon as an amateur in the Nerima District of America. My dream is to become the world's best Budokai champion trainer and receive a bonus to rebuild the Seventh Heaven Newspaper. For Ricardo dos Santos in the bar..."
Chabai: "Ahem..."
Li Nuo: "Li Nuo."
Maggie rubbed her eyebrows: "Li Nuo, right... Oriental names, don't care, tomorrow Come here and I will teach you new alchemy."
Li Nuo said: "One more thing, do you want to play a game of Gwent?"
The moment he saw Maggie, [The Big Winner of Gwent] There is a hint in the side quest that this old vampire is a Gwent master.
Maggie laughed: "Boy, I won't lose to you."
"That's hard to say." Li Nuo took out a set of "Monster Group" cards.
Maggie smiled and said: "Huh, if you lose, you can run naked on the street."
Li Nuo smiled back: "If you lose, help me gather the ingredients for the decoction."
Maggie For a moment, she was thinking: Shouldn't a normal man ask me to take off all my clothes when I lose...
In short, the process of Gwent was too dull and boring, so time flew by to 20 minutes later.
The whites of Maggie's eyes were bloodshot. During the game, she always made mistakes due to a short-circuit in her thinking.
"Li Nuo, did you use [Yakxi's Seal] on me!"
"Do you have evidence?" Li Nuo crossed his legs like a scoundrel, and the system didn't say that he couldn't use any means. This is Maggie , if he were a civilian, he would definitely hold a knife to the opponent's neck and play cards.
Cha Bai turned his head to the side, a little embarrassed.
A female vampire ran into the room and shouted to Maggie: "Mom (Mama-san)! There is a man downstairs who has been saying he wants to sell his butt, and won't leave no matter what. He also said we are sexist, should we kill him secretly? Kill him?"
Maggie put her cards on the table: "I lose, write down what you want, and I'll get it for you within three days!" [
Gwent Grand Winner: Reward Bone Marrow Ash*1, Wedge of Glory Stone*2]
Then she looked at her daughter (the adopted vampire lady).
"Take me to see."
When they went downstairs, they saw Marjie standing in front of the counter making a fuss...
"What's wrong with men! Can't men make money with their bodies? Hey, think about it, don't you Don't women want to pay for services? As long as everyone's souls are in place, I can lick you..."
Li Nuo grabbed Marjie's hair and pulled him out, while Chabai covered his forehead and followed behind.
"I'm sorry...I'll help you kill him." Li Nuo left the brothel after leaving one sentence.
Maggie, her three daughters and two guests stood frozen.
"Mom... why did he say he was sorry?"
"Whatever, keep doing business." Maggie turned around and returned to the room. When she went upstairs, her steps were easier than before, and there was an imperceptible smile on her lips. smile.
...
They dragged Marger out and stopped on the street.
"Didn't you go to see the craftsman shop?"
"Look, I spent some money to become an apprentice and will start tomorrow."
Li Nuo took out [Kenny's orange jacket] and handed it over: "Do me a favor and try it to see if you can Change this piece of clothing into a shirt or T-shirt. It's too thick now and affects your activities."
"What do you think about that special mission?" Cha Bai asked.
"What special mission?" Marger asked curiously. After Li Nuo told him once, he took out a folding stool and sat on the street. All the current information came to his mind and he put everything together.
Cha Bai called to the sorceresses following behind and asked them to create a soundproof barrier.
Although the sorceresses were curious as to why, they did as they were told.
Within the transparent barrier, Li Nuo tapped his temples and said quickly:
"Mirror Master extracted the curse related to Bloodborne Curse and used vampires as experimental subjects. As a result, the old city became a hunting ground, and vampires occupied that area. , breeding humans there, Kevir didn't want to get involved in meaningless things, which led to several things happening next." "The
Shadow Elder may have been parasitized by invisible Yadan or something we don't know, or he may have been infected with a curse. Became a new monster, causing a large number of high-level vampires to leave the Shadow Elders." "
There is another problem here. The Shadow Elders can control high-level vampires, but high-level vampires like Maggie are not affected, which means that, The brain of the Shadow Elder is different from before." "
The second thing is that a player came to this world half a year ago. Ayike caught in Novigrad said that the guy named Belmont had a [Shilipo Sword God Card], he used that card to stay in the world of the demon hunter for half a year. The purpose could be that he wanted to gain greater benefits from the elder's side. This guy became the elder's attendant in a short period of time. , and according to Maggie, they are a group of strange vampires." "
Two possibilities can be speculated from this. They have been contaminated by things related to the blood curse and mutated, or Belmont and his team came to this place. The world has already become a vampire in the last few scripts. Taking advantage of different settings of the same race and poor information, they have gained the trust of the elders." "We are in danger now." Marger said
.
"Yeah." Li Nuo nodded: "I understand why the players here are special... I thought of using Mirror Master to fight against the Shadow Elder. Other players must also be able to think of it. As a player who belongs to the Elder's side, he must Eyeliners will be deployed nearby."
Li Nuo looked at the shadows flying under the moon and said, "For example, if the Mirror Master and the players appear in Kevir together, they will take action soon."
Cha Bai asked He said: "What about the main plot?"
Marger shrugged his shoulders: "It's too dangerous. Even if you get the ancient blood and go to the future, and find a chance to come back, it will be difficult to fight against the parasitized vampires."
Li Nuo said: "They Is there a [Summoning Magic Crystal]?"
Marjie was stunned: "Ah... this."
Chabai remembered that before she entered the script, Li Nuo asked her to hold the [Summoning Magic Crystal], because that thing Li Nuo didn't know if he could use it.
At this time Cha Bai opened his backpack.
[Summoning magic crystal (insufficient magic power)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Minimum usage condition: spiritual power value 30]
[Effect 1: The available summoned beasts are determined by random selection. The summoning effect time varies depending on the summoned beast. ]
[Effect 2: You can choose to summon summons that you have seen and interacted with before, and the summoned creatures are not controlled]

wandering On your journey to become the league champion in the eight gyms, there will always be six little monsters following you] [
Tip: The magic crystal has insufficient magic power due to environmental reasons and cannot be used]
"Insufficient magic power." Chabai shook his head.
"Then find the ancient blood to recharge." Li Nuo said: "No matter how strong the Shadow Elder is, he can't be stronger than the real water god Leviathan. Even Dong Beili can do it. That guy's sword is 9999. I'm carrying Dong Bei Are you afraid that you won't be able to hit its remaining HP when using Li as a weapon?"
"Then what?" Marjie said, "Elders are immortal."
Li Nuo asked, "Do they have elf balls?"
Marjie asked again. He was stunned, and then he covered his head and said: "You can't stop playing this trick!"
Chabai coughed lightly to indicate that he would not touch the issue.
Marjie said: "If the above methods don't work, you can only rely on Mirror Master."
"Yes." Li Nuo nodded: "Please ask Mirror Master to help find the ancient blood, and then go into the future and get a nuclear bomb or cloud bomb , blowing the old city to rubble, but there is a risk. After all, we don’t know if we can really go to the future." "I checked and found that the
ancient blood is indeed in the Holy See of the Sorceress, but it is hidden very deep." Tea Bai said.
"Well... there is another question, how to use the ancient blood?" Marger said.
"Master Mirror told me that blood therapy and source warlocks are the key to combining the ancient blood." Li Nuo touched his head: "But source warlocks are very troublesome. Generally speaking, warlocks master magic. The meaning of a warlock is to have innate mastery of magic. For example, it is like the difference between innate immune syndrome and HIV. If there is no other way, we can only find a way to find Ciri's grave, rob the tomb, find her bones, and study whether we can extract mutations. Inducer, synthesize a false Source Warlock energy."
Marjie said: "I can pay someone to find out."
While the two were talking, a female sorcerer came in from outside and said to Cha Bai: "Master Source Warlock ...It’s almost curfew, should we go back?”
Li Nuo: “???”
Marjie: “???”
Cha Bai: “Wait a moment.”
"I understand..." The sorceress walked out of the barrier.
Cha Bai said: "I don't know what the Origin Warlock is, so I haven't told you about this."
Li Nuo said with a stern face: "Cha Bai, understand why you are the Origin Warlock and the information about the ancient blood. "
Cha Bai hummed.
Marjie said: "I'm making some equipment, it will be useful later." "
These are all casual, the key point is this." Li Nuo took out the [Emil's sales truck drawing] and handed it to Marjie, and then said: "Hey~ It has built-in shock absorption, five-speed direct transmission, and sound effects. You can't find such a perfect human-powered motorized tricycle even if you use a lantern. You have to rely on it for anything!" "Humph, I agree with that." "
Maggie
and I will go and learn something. Alchemy, make final preparations, and get all the information you can get before the player who imitates Castlevania comes." Li Nuo's eyes flashed: "Then it's time to cause trouble." The three of them said
. That's how the preliminary plan was finalized.
Before leaving, Cha Bai handed Li Nuo a card and said: "I shouldn't be able to use the random cards drawn from the side missions. Maybe you can use them in the future." [Bloodborne Exclusive Weapon Synthesis Mod Card
]
[ Effect: Combine two weapons from Bloodborne Curse]
[Brief description: If Bloodborne can be put on steam...]
Li Nuo frowned, and when he looked up again, Cha Bai was already far away.
...
but at noon the next day.
Chabai was woken up by someone.
Today there is a person in the sorceress church.
"He wants to see you, Warlock Yuan."
After listening to the nun's words, Chabai changed his clothes and asked, "Have you said anything?" "
I don't know, but it seems to be very important. Many big shots are here." The nun said .
Cha Bai thought about it for a moment, and then left the house.
What she doesn't know yet is...the truth of this world is about to emerge.
