The sun rises, and it should have been a beautiful day, but in reality it was a bloody beginning.

The whole palace has been thrown into chaos.

Felipa and the others struck first, and they were already about to control the situation, but the sudden change upset the balance and freed the originally imprisoned wizard.

In addition, there are also secret agents placed in the palace by various kings, and Dijestra has been prepared for a long time, after all, this is the land of Redania, and they still occupy the right time and place.

The elven beauty Francesca was not idle, and after being released from her confinement, she released the squirrel party who had landed on the island from the underground river, and soon a violent conflict broke out in the palace, and a slaughter and purge began.

Magic bows, steel and weapons.

Many forces appeared one after another.

Roger had no intention of participating in this farce, and did not leave for a long time, just waiting for someone.

An enemy that has caused a huge psychological shadow on Ciri.

The Gastang Palace has been turned into a hell of fire.

Cassirer took advantage of the chaos to rush down the mountain, and he got the news that the girl who had slipped out of his hands during the Sintra massacre was hiding in the Locha Palace.

He reminded himself that he had to hurry, because he didn't want to disappoint his emperor a second time.

Cassirer burst out of the billowing smoke, his black armor and an iron helmet with the wings of a bird of prey on his head, hissing his wings as he ran, his black cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

The horses beneath him were also pitch black, and the horseshoe sparked on the cobblestone pavement.

At first, Ciri didn't understand why Roger had asked her to fight with a sword, until she saw Cassirer charging towards her.

She couldn't see the knight's face, but she could remember every line on the armor, and the eyes hidden under the helmet.

She couldn't move.

At this moment, Ciri felt as if he had returned to the night of the Sintra massacre.

"Don't touch me!"

"Don't you want to hurt me again!"

Ciri muttered to himself, turning his head quickly, but Roger, who was obviously following him just now, was nowhere to be found at this time.

She became a person.

The black horse galloped through the bushes by the side of the road, and the knight shouted.

Ciri struggled to calm herself.

"I'm not alone, I'm not the same as I used to be!"

"Lambert can't beat me, and neither can you."

Taking a few deep breaths, Ciri finally overcame the fear that overwhelmed her heart, and quickly crossed the hallway, jumping into the small courtyard with a fountain not far away.

It is surrounded by walls and there is no way out.

"Sintra's lion cub, you can't escape this time."

The Black Knight slowed down, and through the slits of his helmet's eyes, there seemed to be a fire burning in his cold eyes.

"Do you have a weapon in your hand?"

"Or kid, do you know how to use a weapon?"

The courtyard was narrow, and the knight jumped down.

"Throw that ridiculous weapon away, I don't want to hurt you by mistake."

Ciri carefully backed away until there was no way to retreat, and at first she was trembling all over, but then a voice sounded in her ears.

"You have to overcome your fears."

"Only then can the power I give you explode completely."

It's Roger.

Her breathing was steady, and Ciri's hand holding the sword no longer trembled, and she even slowly straightened up and aimed the tip of her sword at the black knight in front of her.

"Draw your weapon, I will defeat you fairly!"

"It's ridiculous."

The Black Knight slowly drew the knight's sword that hung from his waist.

"My weapon is long and will hurt you."

He said casually, but the next second the girl in front of him moved strangely, and then her body bounced up and approached at an incredible speed!

"So fast!"

This was Cassirer's first reaction, and he didn't even have time to think, so he could only rely on his body instinct to raise his sword to block.

While!

The force of his arm made him secretly frightened, and at this time, in the midst of the confrontation, he also noticed the look in the girl's eyes for the first time.

There is no helplessness and timidity of that night, but the indomitable ferocity!

He just wanted to increase his strength, but at this moment, the girl's weapon fell slightly, causing his sudden burst of power to deflect direction, and his body lost its balance for a moment.

Opportunity!

The tip of the sword slashed through the gaps in the armor.

Blood splattered out, and at this time, Ciri, who had succeeded in the first blow, had already taken the opportunity to retreat.

"That's it."

Roger encouraged, and with the infusion of faith, Ciri found that some wonderful changes had taken place in her body.

Her strength perception and agility have increased to varying degrees, and the whole person seems to have entered a strange state of excitement.

She even felt that at this time, her strength alone was not weaker than that of ordinary demon hunters.

It doesn't matter what happens.

The important thing is that Ciri knows that she is going to win in the end.

His heart was as calm as water, and at this time, the black knight, who was enraged by the pain, was already full of flaws in Ciri's eyes, and the figures of the two sides staggered, and the weapon pierced into the gap in the armor again.

With a thud, the Black Knight fell to one knee, his wrist wounded, and his sword came out of his hand, and at close range he gave up his resistance and slammed into Ciri with his tough armor as a barrier.

He wanted to hug the girl in front of him.

"Stay away from me, don't touch me!"

Ciri snorted coldly, and then her legs violently exerted force, and an unknown force erupted in her body, and she kicked out, and the other party's huge body was kicked up in the air like a puppet.

The black winged helmet was raised high, and Ciri slashed with his sword, smashing the wings of the birds of prey on top of the helmet.

At this time, the other party's tall body hit the wall, revealing a slightly delicate young face.

He had amazing blue eyes, and his mouth was open in horror.

At this moment, all of Ciri's fears were gone.

"Don't kill me...... Don't kill me! ”

The young man shouted subconsciously.

Ciri clenched the sword in his hand.

It's not like she hasn't killed anyone, and she's learned a lot from the time she didn't meet Geralt.

"I once saved you, do you remember? You should have died in the fire that night, and I saved you. ”

"That's because you're going to arrest me." Ciri said coldly.

"But it was I who saved you, and without me you would have been buried in the fire." The young knight gasped,

The girl clenched the weapon in her hand, but the expression on her face was not as firm as it had been at first.

"Can't you do it?"

A figure leaped into the courtyard, and he bent down to pick up the knight's sword that Cassirer had dropped to the ground.

"The ...... of Wigo Fortez"

"Whew!"

The sword pierced through the flesh and nailed the young knight's body to the wall, blood gushing out of his mouth, and the desperation in the young man's eyes reminded Ciri of who he had been.

"I'm going to bring her back...... Give it to ......"

"No, let me come, and I will relay the process of your death to the Emperor...... The process of dying at the hands of Geralt. ”

The young man seemed to understand something, and then his pupils drifted and he was completely silent.

"Come with me."

Wigofortez opened his hand, and Ciri felt like he had lost control of his body.

But then a broad palm rested on her shoulder, and she heard Roger's steady voice.

"You're doing a good job, I'll take care of the rest."
