Chapter 49: Into the City
"Why are you here?!"
When Yennefer saw Triss as he set off, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's Philippa......"
"No, I volunteered, I just told her that you can't do this alone, and she agreed."
"After all, this is a life-saving mission, and she won't think much about it."
"Are you crazy, do you know what it means to go into the castle?"
"Of course I do, and I know what you're keeping me out for."
In the face of Yennefa's aggressiveness, Triss would have selectively backed down in the past, but this time she didn't back down at all, raised her head and chest, and looked at Yennefer with determination.
"I admit that I don't have the same feelings for Geralt as everyone else, but I also cherish our friendship, and you plan to bring Geralt out of Geralt at all costs, and then fulfill us?"
Triss shook her head.
"I don't accept it, and I don't want to take advantage of others, if it really comes to that day, I'd rather let him choose it himself!"
These few words were so sonorous and powerful that for a while Yennefer was speechless.
"Alright, let's go together."
The two of them made their way through layers of blockade, and at this time the snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and they had to put on their hoods and wrap themselves tightly.
On a hill in the distance, an owl watched silently.
Meanwhile, in a tent in the rear, Wigofertz seemed to be aware of what was going on here.
"It's really not like you, Wigofertz, and you wouldn't normally tolerate such betrayals and petty actions."
Francesca looked at the man beside him, "You don't have to worry about what that Yennefer really brought back, especially the one you care about so much." ”
"She won't get anything." Wigoferez replied coldly.
"Although I have only met once, I trust my own judgment, and that Roger is not the kind of person who will easily change his thoughts and judgments because of others."
"Whatever Yennefer will do, all she can expect from Roger is failure."
There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, "If you have seen him, you will deeply feel the horror of that man, he cannot exist, no matter what the price is, he must be killed." ”
"Are you scared?"
Francesca looked surprised, for in the past, such a word would have been an offense to Wigofortez.
But this time, instead of being angry, Wigofortez didn't even make any rebuttals.
…………
"Any plans?"
Braving the wind and snow, as she approached the path of the castle, Triss said to Yennefer, "I know what you think, but I don't want you to hurt anyone in here. ”
"Don't think I'm so vicious, I value everyone here just as much."
Yennefer said in a cold voice, "There may not be a way to use spells there, we need to use potions to control Geralt." ”
"Witchers are highly resistant to antiponics." Triss couldn't help but say.
"I'm well prepared."
After a long silence, the two could barely open their mouths in the cold wind.
"And then?" Triss then asked.
"Go to Roger and hope he's willing to give Geralt a way out......"
"What?!" Triss looked surprised.
"Don't you understand how powerful that man is?" Yennefer said.
"There's no way we're going to take Geralt without him, and we're not even his opponent, and neither can we."
"But ......" is still unacceptable to Triss by pinning her success on the pity of others.
There was silence around the castle, and the two of them could feel the magical energy in their bodies until they stepped onto the only stone bridge.
There seemed to be no defense, so they swaggered to the iron gates of the castle, and soon entered the warm hall.
"Yennefer......" When he heard the news, Geralt rushed over as soon as possible, looking at each other, and complex emotions were transmitted in it, until a long time later, Geralt found out that Triss had also come with him.
"You ......," he said, looking confused.
"Triss went back too late, we were discovered, and we had no choice but to flee here." Ye Naifa explained casually.
"What just happened?" Triss digressed, "I thought ......"
"Think you can't see us?" With hearty laughter, Viselmir strode over.
"It's Roger, he's been around Kylemohan for a long time." Lambert jumped out, he had always been at odds with Triss.
At this time, the expression in his eyes was full of pride.
Everyone recounted the experience just now.
"I brought another piece of news, seeing that the magic has failed, they are gathering troops, and they will attack at dawn."
"Although there are no large siege engines, they are well-armed and numerous, and many of those so-called mercenaries are well-trained Nilfgaard soldiers, led by a notorious fellow."
"Leo Bonnet!"
"Is it him?!" Eskar frowned.
Leo Bonnet only serves the money, and this guy has a bloody title.
Witcher Slayer.
"Not only that, but Felipa has also sent someone to contact the royal family of Codwin, and the nearby army is being deployed overnight, and they are going to fence off the entire valley."
"There will be large equipment being delivered one after another......"
Speaking of which, Yennefer glanced at Roger, "You can neutralize the attack launched by the Warlock Group, but what about the trebuchet?" ”
"Or battering rams?"
Everyone's faces instantly turned gloomy.
"Are you ready to deal with these weapons?" The last sentence she said was to Roger.
Roger turned his head to miss Yennefer's gaze and did not answer the question.
"What did you all do?"
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Roger.
"There's nothing to prepare." Roger shrugged.
"Don't you believe us?!" Yennefer raised his voice violently.
"Do you think we're here with a special purpose?"
"Think I'm a spy sent by Felippa?"
"We didn't mean that." Geralt explained dryly.
"Come on, it must be very cold outside, come and roast by the fire." Viselmir played the round.
"You know, we trust you, always."
With that, he patted Geralt on the shoulder and gave the latter a look.
"Your boots are full of snow, change to a dry pair, go to my room, there are the clothes you left over from last time."
Geralt said.
Yennefer's face softened slightly, and she beckoned to Triss before leaving.
"Let's go together, you need to change it too."
Triss nodded, reading the meaning in Yennefer's eyes.
The three of them left along the stairs, and the others returned to their respective posts, although Roger's gift had given everyone confidence. But Viselmir, of course, would not drink and roast in the hall without restraint.
He still arranged for other witchers to patrol the area.
Only Roger returned to his room alone.
This time he didn't have to wait long when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
The door opened softly, revealing half of Yennefer's face.
The first thing the sorceress saw Roger sitting at the table, and the two empty wine glasses placed on it.
"You know I'm coming?"
My heart sank.
Roger smiled, "I don't know what method you use, but I hope it won't cause too many side effects to Geralt." ”
