Chapter 548: Magic Blast: Dead
"Looks like we're going to be separated again... Although I don't want to go, I can understand it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoTime is precious. ”
"Indeed... Do you want me to teleport you directly to Wei Lun? ”
"Don't even think about it, I'm going to go on horseback. I changed my clothes and set off. "It seems that Rogette has a psychological shadow on teleportation.
"Whatever you want. Ah, by the way, you're pretty handsome in black velvet. ”
"Really? Maybe I can take some black velvet to decorate the armor... Have a nice trip, Yennefa. ”
"The same goes for you. If you want to know what you missed while hanging out in the wilderness with Withermere, head over to Ambassador's Day for a chat with Ador. He's right there. Rogette... I know there's a war going on, but please don't be a hero, okay? After investigating the clues, they came to me, and not a single hair was missing. I will wait for you. ”
Yennefer cast a spell to teleport himself away. Some of the players teleported away with Yennefer. These players are farming for Leaf Navi favorability.
Rogette went out to find the waiter to retrieve his equipment.
Waiter: "Here it is." I used citrus and cloves, the scent of which keeps Mr.'s robe clean for a long time. ”
Rogette: "Well, thank you so much. ”
The waiter reminded Rogette: "Emperors are not known for their patience. He hoped that his daughter would come back unscathed, as soon as possible. ”
Rogette didn't even reply: "Hmph, he did mention it, goodbye." ”
Rogette walks out of the palace gates, and the players follow the whole time. The scene switches, this time not a black scene, but a commentary.
Rogette and Yennefer are reunited, and Rogette is satisfied. But there was something more important going on in Virjema. The Demon Hunter learns that his former adopted daughter, Siri, has returned from a long journey. Moreover, she is now in danger. The demon hunter decided to set out to find Siri, and the emperor had already ordered it, and Yennefer had asked him. ”
Scene refresh. Everyone has appeared in Weilun, north of Temoa. Everyone is standing on a hill. Rogette is just a short distance ahead. The tree next to him was full of people... The men were hanged, and some of the dried corpses looked like children.
Rogette mounted his horse and ran towards the village below. Players activate their horse cards and get on their horses to catch up.
Because of the previous experience, basically all players purchased the horse energy card before the mission started. Tang Tu also bought it.
Along the way, I often saw people hanging from trees on the side of the road.
Rogette arrives at the inn, where the informant Yennefer had spoken of.
Rogette approached the waiter and asked, "I'm looking for a guy named Hentrick." ”
The waiter was polishing the glass: "What are you looking for him?" ”
Rogette: "There's something I want to talk to him about." ”
Waiter: "What are you talking about?" ”
Rogert: "Give me a bottle of wine, a little stronger." ”
Rogette took a sip of his wine. Several guests left. Rogette looked at the door with the waiter.
The waiter suddenly said to Rogette, "You have to go quickly!" I'll open the back door for you! ”
Rogette: "I haven't finished my drink yet. ”
Several soldiers in armor walked in: "Waiter, serve us wine." ”
Several soldiers saw Rogette, and they muttered quietly.
"Who is this man?"
"He looks like a great warrior, and he has two swords on his back!"
A strange-looking soldier shouted at Rogette, "Hey, white-haired! What are you carrying two swords for? ”
The soldier next to him teased, "I guess he has one more thing in his pants than others." ”
Rogette ignored them. The soldier was a little angry: "Are you deaf?" Are you going to report your name yourself, or do you want me to use a knife to help you loosen your mind before you can speak? ”
"Someone who doesn't like to be disturbed while drinking." Rogette didn't look back, but he finally spoke, and his tone sounded impatient.
The soldiers laughed.
"Do you hear that? A noble gentleman arrived. ”
"Uncle, do you want to shine your shoes?"
Rogert: "No, I don't want my boots to be blackened by your dirty hands. ”
Several soldiers gathered around: "Polo, did I hear it wrong?" ”
Rogert: "Get out of here, or I'll kill you." ”
The players who followed Rogette gathered around. There are many more players than soldiers.
Fights began. Rogette didn't make a shot. Players vs. soldiers. These soldiers are unusually difficult, and several players have been killed. It seems that this fight was arranged to reduce the number of players.
The player takes out the soldiers.
Waiter: "Do you know what the Baron would have done if he had known about this massacre?" Before we could explain to him that the killer was some wandering mutant, he had razed the village to the ground. That guy has always been known for his iron fist. ”
It appears that NPCs automatically tie the player's behavior to followers. The waiter directly acquiesced that the soldiers were killed by Rogert. That's right, the player is doing exactly what Rogette commands.
Finding that Rogette was unresponsive, the waiter almost screamed: "Are you deaf?" Don't understand what I'm saying? The Baron will not stop there! ”
Rogert: "Don't get excited, your baron is not an idiot. I don't think he'd think you civilians killed his men with farming tools. Where is Hendrick? ”
Waiter: "He lives in Heatherton. ”
Rogette: "I don't know where that is. ”
Waiter: "It's on the other side of the hill." When I looked in that direction this morning, I noticed a strange glow shining there. Maybe someone from the Empire is attacking a village, who knows..."
Rogette: "What else can you tell me about this Hendrick?" ”
Waiter: "He's a strange fellow. No one knows where he's from or why he's here. He lived with a widow. Her husband was stabbed to death for a small piece of bread. ”
Rogert: "But the Baron's men don't like strangers. ”
Waiter: "Yes. But as if he could know when they would appear, Hinterk always disappeared before then. ”
Rogette: "Thank you. ”
Waiter: "Go out from behind." There were other barons' men in the village. ”
Rogert: "Don't worry about me. ”
Waiter: "I'd rather you don't cause any more trouble." Not just for you, but for the good of both of us. ”
But as soon as they went out, they met a few soldiers. Naturally, it was another mess of scuffle. It's still player vs. soldier, and Rogette doesn't make a shot. Players have lost a few more.
Everyone got on their horses together and ran in the direction the waiter said. Everyone came to another village. It is overgrown with vegetation and dilapidated houses, which look like they have been abandoned.
Rogette: "The air feels weird. It's like falling into a bottomless cellar on a hot day... And the fog..."
Tang Tu: "Is it a trace left by magic?" ”
Everyone dismounted and searched around, and found a villager with a torch surrounded by several monsters. This time Rogette made a move. Everyone killed a few monsters in a long time.
The villagers were still waving torches in horror: "Get out of here!" Don't bother me, whoever you are! I don't care about you! ”
Rogette unleashed a spell as he spoke: "Calm down, it's over." ”
The villager was calmed down by the spell, and he regained his senses: "Yes, it's over. Everything is in the past and will never be restored. I'll never forget..."
Rogette: "I'm looking for a guy named Hentrek, and I heard he lives in this village. ”
Villager: "Yes... But he's no longer here. They took him in that hut... You should have been here and listening to that voice... I've never heard a man scream like that... He suffered so badly..."
Rogette: "Take your time and tell me what's going on here. ”
Villager: "They were taken captive... All of them were taken captive..."
Tang Tu: "Is it a wild hunt?" ”
Villager: "The sun was about to go down and the sky was as red as blood. I thought to myself, how strange I can't hear the toads..."
Tang Tu didn't guess wrong, it was Wild Hunt who found this place. They caught Hantrick.
“... I don't know what's going on here other than fear. I heard Hendrick scream, then begging. In the end, he couldn't do anything but hum... I hid. They set fire to the village, they killed part of the people, they took part of the people ... The fear didn't last long, but the village was still as cold as winter..."
Rogette asked, "Were you in the house when they left?" ”
Villager: "No, I will never go there again... Never..."
Rogette: "Goodbye. May you find peace. ”
Rogette led the players into the room where Trick was located. There was a corpse lying on the floor in the room, and this should be Han Trick. The corpse was covered in horrific scars, and it was clear that it had been tortured.
Rogette: "He's been tortured." But we can't rule out that Wild Hunt will miss something, so let's look around. ”
The players search around the house, while Rogette and several players search for the body. Tang Tu turned on Hawkeye, and he chose to stay and help Rogette search for the body.
Rogette: "Look at his pockets. The pants hardened after being soaked in blood, and it felt like they had been hung out to dry in the dead of winter. ”
Tang Tu didn't find anything in his pocket.
Rogette: "He's as cold as ice... There is also nothing in the top. In the end, only his shoes remained. ”
Tang Tu and the other two players worked together to take off their boots, which were almost frozen with the corpse. This time they found a key.
Rogette: "A key hidden in a boot." There must be a corresponding keyhole, hopefully nearby..."
Tang Tu turned on the Eagle Eye, and this time he found a problem, and there was a floor that was circled under the Eagle Eye. Tang Tu immediately told Rogette.
Rogette walked to the place where Tang Tu said and squatted down: "There is air flowing." There must be space under this pile of rubble. ”
The players move the rubble out of the way, and a door appears on the ground. When everyone went underground, they saw that there was a portrait of Cisri on the wall inside.
Everyone continued to search in the basement. They found quite a bit of money.
Rogert: "The valuables are not locked, they are almost put on display... Is he losing his mind or... Well... A ledger, the payment for a sack of grain, the amount to be paid for a batch of coal, it seems that Hendrick is pretending to be a businessman..."
Tang Tu opened the Eagle Eye again and found a special notebook in a pile of account notes. Tang Tu took out the notes and handed them to Rogette.
Rogert: "That's a clever way to hide. The title here is interesting..."
The note reads: "Missing Bounty: Target has appeared in Skelliger, and there are eyewitness testimonies from Gray, Norway... The target's appearance has not changed. Gray-white hair, scars on the face... Will avoid contact with them.
Drunken Pig: The guy who calls himself a baron asks the target to his castle, or should I say the illegally occupied fortress... Go to the Crow's Nest and talk to the Baron's people.
Clash with a witch: The target arrives in the swamp and meets a witch... Conflicts ensued, for unknown reasons... Find out the witch... Talk to the farmers of the village of Midkaos.
Be cautious: someone is spying on me, I don't know who it is or what their purpose is... The dog ran away... The water in the bucket froze... A strange glow appeared in the sky, which the peasants said was a bad omen. ”
Rogette: "It's going to be Wild Hunt watching him." They seem to have found out that Trick was looking for Siri, which is why they tortured him... I'm late. Now the only clues here are the baron and a certain witch. Damn it! ”
Rogette leads the group out of the place and back to the village where they had been. They're looking for someone to ask for clues.
A village woman sweeping the floor is complaining: "... He should have been sent back to the witch, and he might have been cured of his laziness. ”
Rogette: "Hello, ma'am. ”
Village woman: "Hello, sir, is there anything wrong?" ”
Rogert: "I've got something to do with the witches of your village. Do you know where she is? ”
Village woman: "I'm not dealing with her, but you can ask my man, he knows." He hurt his back last week, and he could barely move, and I told him to go to the witch, and sure enough, he was cured, and now he was alive and kicking like a pony. ”
Rogert: "Where is he?" ”
Village woman: "Fish in the yard as usual." My back doesn't hurt anymore, but I have a lazy disease. Now it's time for him to pick the berries for the kids... The one in Ma Lian's family is very good at supporting the family. I heard that he caught some water rats before, and his family didn't worry about eating them for several days. ”
The man who touched the fish was right next to him. Rogette found him: "Hello. I heard you know where the witches of the village live? ”
Villager: "Who said that?" ”
Rogert: "Your wife." ”
Villager: "This stupid woman. You go, don't listen to my mouthy mother's. There have been no witches or monks here for hundreds of years, not even a lovely girl. ”
It seems that the villager refuses to say. Rogette left him behind and turned to the other villagers to inquire, and the players split up to inquire. After a while, everyone got the whereabouts of the witch.
