Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 162 Master Jie's Bizarre Adventure
Geralt of Rivia, the guard of His Majesty King Foltest, and the White Wolf, as a man with these titles, Geralt is now trapped in the prison of La Valette Castle. The guards who didn't even look at him beat him violently.

"Say! You white-haired bastard, tell me how you killed His Majesty the King!"

The thick-faced jailer said viciously, but Geralt just spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with saliva, and then repeated the sentence he didn't know how many times he had said.

"I didn't kill the king."

And what followed was a usual beating.

It's just that this beating has changed a lot compared to the previous ones.

"stop."

Vernon Roche came in and stopped the jailer,
"You go, I want to talk to this prisoner."

There was an emotion called resentment on the jailer's face, but it was immediately covered up by him. The one in front of him was the captain of the Blue Iron Guard, that Vernon Roche.

The Blue Iron Guard captain has many horror stories in Temeria - and some of them are true.

The jailers left immediately, and Roche asked his subordinates to untie Geralt's rope, and sat on the chair in the room by himself, motioning for Geralt to sit down.

"So, captain, why did you come to see me this time? Are you going to ask how I assassinated the king?"

Geralt said angrily, too many people have come here to ask him the same question in this period of time.

"No." Roche's answer surprised Geralt, "I want you to tell me again how the king was assassinated."

"Ok."

Then, the white wolf began to recall the experience of that day.

After entering the inner castle, His Majesty Foltest hurried into the room where his son and daughter were.

They didn't encounter any obstacles along the way, and all they saw were women and children.

When entering the room, Geralt was blocked by the king because he was afraid that the children would be scared by Geralt, but the white wolf insisted on his opinion. He was worried about letting the king go in alone, and demanded that the king must stay in his under view.

Facing Geralt's insistence, Foltest finally agreed to him and let him into the room.

And when the king reunited with his children, Geralt watched from the sidelines, and this was also the case, and the sudden change happened.

Three assassins suddenly climbed out of the window of the room, and the gray-haired man at the head quickly approached the king.

Geralt was stopped by the other two, and the continuous impenetrable sword dance made it impossible for the white wolf to move forward.

Foltest's force was not weak, but it was just not weak. He immediately pulled out his wheel-wheel gun, but was knocked over by a sword while shooting at the assassin.

And then, there was a scene that Geralt didn't want to see, the assassin pierced the king's throat with his long sword, and the Temerian monarch died in a futile attempt to stop the flow of blood, clutching his throat.

After finishing all this, the assassins immediately dropped the smoke bombs, and then jumped out of the window in the smoke.

Then, within a few minutes of the assassination, the door was broken, and the iron guards in blue rushed in. What they saw were the trembling descendants of the royal family, the witcher holding a sword, and the king lying in a pool of blood.

Geralt tried to explain all this, but all he got was the angry fists of the blue guards.

Next, he was sent to the dungeon and locked up.

"That's my story, captain, so do you have any questions? Are you going to beat me up again?"

Geralt didn't like the blue iron guard who beat him indiscriminately, and he didn't even like the captain. He still remembered the first time he explained everything and Roche spat in his face.

"I'm sorry for my actions, Geralt, but the situation is that you may indeed be innocent."

Roche first apologized to Geralt, then talked about his analysis,
"We investigated the scene and information again, and found that it was indeed as you said, and then combined with the testimony of the king's descendants, it was determined that there were definitely a few people at the scene, but the roles played by these people are still unclear, but Most of your suspicions can be washed away because of this."

"Then let me go."

"No."

Roche said ruthlessly, "Nataris and I are willing to give you freedom, but most of the ministers and nobles have recognized your identity as a murderer. They don't want any troubles in this matter, they just want to start a new life. The distribution of power over time."

"Tsk, it's bad politics again, so Roche, you're here to tell me this? Do you want to be a political scapegoat?"

"Do not."

Roche once again gave a negative,

"You still have a chance. I want to catch the bastard who assassinated the king, and my people found that the person who really fits your description has gone down the Pontar River. Now, you have to go and catch the assassin king with me." , to restore your freedom and innocence, otherwise you will always be the sinner who assassinated King Foltest."

"So, you want to recruit me?"

"Still not."

Roche denied again, and then put a key on the table.

"It was the prisoner Geralt who escaped from the prison, and then hid on the blue iron guard ship and embarked on a journey to hunt down the real murderer he said. In short, Geralt, if you want to come, then don't come, don't let Just rot in the prison. There is a secret passage in the prison, just at the end of the way out, there is a button in the gargoyle there, you can go directly to the port through the secret passage, this is Mrs. La Valette Tell me, she sees you as a reward for sparing her son's life."

After saying this, Roche left the room, leaving Geralt alone.

Looking at the key in front of him, Geralt sighed, and again, it seemed that he was given the right to choose, but in fact he had no choice at all.

There was no other way, so Geralt had no choice but to pick up the key on the table and unlock his shackles.

Next, is to embark on the road of escape.

Geralt didn't have much experience in escaping the castle. He arrived at the port smoothly and boarded the battleship of the Blue Iron Guard.

To Geralt's surprise, Roche actually got out his own equipment. Putting on the equipment he hadn't seen for a while, Geralt felt much better.

"Let's go, let's go to Novigrad first, the assassin will definitely settle in that free city."

Following Roche's words, the battleship of the Blue Iron Guard started to move towards the mouth of the Pontar River.

But Geralt and the others never imagined that this journey would be so full of twists and turns and difficulties.

.

Prakshida Bay, which is an arc-shaped bay in the North Sea, is adjacent to Kovill and Povis, where the Tango, Buina, and Bura rivers flow into.

All the ports in Prakshida Bay used to be open all year round, but under the influence of white light, the climate has gradually declined, and the cold period has come faster, and now only the port of Pond Venis can be opened all year round No freezing.

Pond Venus, therefore, was without a doubt the most important port of Prakshida Bay, even above Ron Exeter, the winter capital of Kervir, which was also the summer capital of Kervir.

When he finally saw the port of Pond Venus, Geralt couldn't help recalling his ups and downs during this period of time. Thinking of those things, he looked tired.

After leaving La Valette Castle, Geralt came to the free city of Novigrad, where he met his old friends Dandelion and Zoltan.

However, Geralt came at a very bad time. He arrived at the time when Hawthorne of the Ghost Face Gang was assassinated, the whole Ghost Face Gang was in a mess, and various factions were fighting each other.

For the people of Novigrad, after finally being stable for a period of time, the "familiar" scene finally reappeared.

And for Geralt and Roche, this leads to being embroiled in a gang civil war as soon as they come ashore.

At the same time, they also found that Novigrad was in a financial frenzy. A man named Pound launched a stock. As long as you buy the stock, you can get 20% of the stock holding basis after three months. The profit can then continue to double.

After the first person to eat crabs appeared, the whole of Novigrad fell into this financial madness.

Even Novigrad has never seen such a short-term rate of return, so many people have invested in it, and there are even some big names in Liberty City, and the joining of these people has made the business even hotter.

After going through a series of messy things, Geralt was finally able to find the Beggar King, the leader of the Back Alley Gang who knew where the Assassin King was going.

After learning that Geralt wanted him, the Beggar King didn't ask for money. He saw Geralt's ability in the previous gang wars, so he asked him to do something.

He wants Geralt to end the internal chaos of the Ghost Face Gang, solve the leaders of the various factions of the Ghost Face Gang, and let Hawthorne's son Hawthorne II take the throne.

As the first syndicate speaker, the chaos of the Ghost Face Gang is a problem that needs to be solved by him, and the current fighting has affected everyone's money.

This disgusted Geralt and Roche enough. That Hawthorne II is a rotten person through and through. He is so rotten. Helping him stabilize his position is really disgusting.

So in the end, the two of them chose a tricky plan. If it weren't for the information about the Syndicate provided by Dandelion, they didn't know they could do it.

They tried their best to persuade the big brothers of the Ghost Face Gang, Xiaozhi justified it with emotion, and did not forget to use the name of the Syndicate to exert pressure.

Fortunately, everyone has tasted the taste of peace and knows that it is more profitable under peaceful conditions. Coupled with the possible pressure from the Syndicate, all parties have compromised with each other.

In the conversation with these bigwigs, Geralt knew that a large reason for their opposition to Hawthorne II was the support of the businessman named Pound. As for what he was for, no one knew.

Geralt didn't care about this matter anymore. For him, the most important thing is to solve the matter and get information from the Beggar King.

For Geralt, this is a good result.

Although the idiot Hawthorne II was not killed, at least this disgusting guy was not allowed to completely control the Ghost Face Gang, and Novigrad also returned to its former peace.

In addition, during this process, they had confronted the Thorn King several times, and almost caught the Thorn King's tail several times.

It's just that those people all escaped with one blow, either long-range sniping or setting traps, and Geralt didn't have any chance to tear off their masks at all.

In short, thanks to Geralt's hard work, the various factions of the Ghost Face Gang have finally made peace, and Novigrad has returned to calm.

Geralt also learned from the Beggar King that the Thorn King was under the protection of the Wave Treaders before, and now they have gone to Kervier.

Geralt and the blue guards immediately embarked on a new journey without stopping.

And not long after leaving Novigrad, Geralt heard that the man named Pound had escaped from Novigrad and took away all the money. As a result, countless Novigrad people went bankrupt and had to hang themselves , In addition, some people chose to jump off the building.

Geralt had a vague feeling that he should have nothing to do with this matter, but he didn't bother him for too long. The most important thing right now was to chase after the Assassin King and continue the journey ahead.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the development of the beginning of this new journey was very exciting.

On the way, they were attacked by a sea snake, which seemed to be as huge as a giant dragon.

Their boat was like a toy in front of the sea snake. Geralt had to work hard to cut off one of the sea snake's eyes, and then the monster went berserk and overturned their boat.

When Geralt awoke from the beach, he found himself on an unfamiliar stretch of sand with their boat stranded behind him like a dead whale.

Roche and his blue-clothed iron guards were also here, and after calculations, they discovered that the blue-clothed iron guards had lost almost half of their troops this time.

This made Roche very angry and vowed to kill the sea snake.

Next, it took a while for everyone to figure out where they were. It turned out that this was the Prakshida Islands in the Prakshida Bay.

And now, the archipelago is in the midst of a war between the Skellige Expeditionary Force and the followers of Svalblo.

For a long time, the Skelliges have always had an attitude of killing Svalblo believers at sight, so much so that they thought that this belief had been exterminated by them.

But now, the people of Skellige suddenly discovered that the believers of Svalblo still have a base in the distant islands, occupying the entire archipelago.

In order to fight against Svalblo, the men of the archipelago gathered together, formed an expeditionary force of up to a thousand people, and went to the Prakshida Islands.

This expeditionary force included the younger generation of the archipelago, including Halma, Srivanji and others.

To Geralt's surprise, the leader of this expedition was a demon hunter and the master of the Bear School, Anahard.

This witcher was an important figure who discovered the followers of Svalblo, and he is also a man of the day in the Skelliger Islands.

He first gained fame by hunting monsters all over the archipelago. When there was a giant disturbance on Ulvik Island, he went directly to take the head of the giant, which made his reputation reach its peak.

His prestige allowed him to gain many followers, and Anahad "brought up" a new generation of bear witchers among his followers.

They say they are demon hunters, but in fact, they are a group of Skellige warriors who have mastered the knowledge of hunting demons. Anahad combined the knowledge of the bear faction with the culture of the archipelago, allowing the bear faction to pass it on in another form.

The master of the Bear School is unwilling to continue the mutation of the Bear School. The mutation of the Bear School is as big as the problem of the Cat School. The Cat School turns people into bastards, while the Bear School turns people into bloodless and tearless monsters.

The reputation of demon hunters as cold-blooded and ruthless largely comes from the school. After all, they were so indifferent that they chose to disband when the school was besieged.

Of all the bear witchers he'd seen, only a handful had avoided this.

Next, he also eradicated the Svalblo believers on the Skellige Islands, and learned that there was a base of Svalblo believers in the distant Prakshida Islands.

Logically, he became the commander of the expeditionary force.

Regarding the plight of Geralt and others, Anahad expressed his willingness to help, but said that it is a pity that he does not know how those Svalblo believers controlled a sea snake and attacked all passing ships indiscriminately, causing the archipelago to actually be destroyed. blocked.

Anahad has a boat, but going to sea is tantamount to courting death.

No way, Geralt and Roche could only participate in the attack on the Svalblo Fortress.

The fortress of the believers of Svalblo is very strong, built directly in the mountain, the narrow passages are extremely difficult to pass through, coupled with the bear-changing ability of the believers of Svalblo, making this fortress almost impossible to break through.

Although the Skelliges have cannons in their hands, they can't break through the mountain at all, which is almost useless, and it is dangerous to carry them into the mountains and fire, and it is very easy to be taken away by the opponent.

Anahad personally led people to kill them before, and almost died inside, which shows how difficult it is to fight.

The thoughts of the Svalblo believers are obvious. They use sea snakes to blockade the archipelago, and then guard themselves in the strong fortress, intending to starve the archipelago to death.

So Geralt went to find the weak point of the fortress.

And in the process, he came to the underground of the archipelago, and discovered that there was actually a murloc city here, which was even more magnificent than the underwater city Geralt had seen in Vizima.

Through communicating with the murlocs, helping them deal with the threat from Dagan, and even being forced to face Dagan's incarnation again, Geralt was able to learn many secret things.

The Svalblo believers on this island cooperated with Dagan, so they were able to drive Dagan's sea monster, and then they told Geralt that the sea monster was kept under the island by those believers, and they also said a way to The path of the fort.

Needless to say, what happened next, Geralt and Roche went to hunt sea monsters, while Anahad led the Skelliges to attack the Svalblo believers through trails.

Fierce bloody battles broke out in both places. Anahad took down the fortress and paid a lot of dead for it. After closing the sea beast gate, Geralt killed the sea snake and turned himself into a blood man. The sea snake walked around in its belly.

Also at this moment, someone suddenly snatched a ship and left, and Geralt noticed that those people were the assassin kings!It seems that they were also trapped here by the sea snake.

Geralt and the others missed the thorn king again, but he was not discouraged because they were getting closer and closer to the thorn king.

After all this was done, the road to Ponder Venus was finally opened. Anahad sent Geralt and the others here as he promised, and the Skelliges also needed supplies here.

Looking at the city of Kovire, Geralt only hoped that there would be some peace in the future, but his heart told him that this was impossible.
