The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

So in an instant, V's expression became very strange.

And Ciri's expression became even weirder... Although it was true to a certain extent, it was quite wrong.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long, as V was called away because of a commission.

Not Dexter.

As a well-known mercenary in Night City who is known for accepting all jobs, big or small, her day can be said to be extremely fulfilling.

For example, you can drive from the north of Night City to the south, and then drive back.

"But some things are not so easy to avoid."

He said this with a slight sigh and brought the coffee that was originally for V to himself.

This Nebula coffee is extremely precious, why don’t you drink it?

"Who was that person just now...?"

"The living devil of Night City... but it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Qiao shook her head, then turned to Xili: "There are steaks in the refrigerator, you can eat some first, and I will take you, Lucy and Sasha to have barbecue later."

Chapter 375 White Frost

Compared to the primitive and terrible diet in the wizarding world, most of the food in Cyberpunk is not much better.

The meat products on the plate are either vegetarian meat or synthetic meat made from insects and earthworms. They are basically the result of technology and hard work.

But if you have money, that’s another matter.

Although "barbecue", a food of the lower class, is considered too vulgar and incompatible with the status of the upper class.

Moreover, Japanese sashimi chefs have always emphasized that roasting meat completely will lose its original flavor, and at most it only needs to be quickly cooked over the fire. Due to various factors, barbecue restaurants are not very popular in Night City...

Of course, the premise of talking about a barbecue restaurant here is that real meat is grilled there.

But if you have money, you can buy some ingredients and find a deserted place to have an open-air barbecue.

For example, in a villa in North Oak District.

After Lin Qiao killed Fujioka Kaoru, his former enemy, the villa that originally belonged to him was also returned to Arasaka... If you round it off, it still belongs to Lin Qiao.

Under the moonlight, a wisp of green smoke drifted into the distance.

The sound of fat sizzling in the fire came from the barbecue grill, and the smell in the air made people's appetite grow.

The roasted meat pieces were placed on a plate on the side, covered with golden fat.

The various barbecue sauces and seasonings on the table are so dazzling that it is hard to choose.

'so good……'

Chewing the piece of meat in her mouth, Ciri thought with some happiness.

Under the premise of being equally rich, the happiness brought by the future world completely crushes the backward wizarding world.

After all, the latter's level of civilization is basically comparable to that of the Middle Ages, or even inferior.

And the dark cuisine of the Middle Ages is notoriously... dark.

Some nobles even dared to try water ghost brain, which sounded like something that should not be served on the table.

But the consequences for this kind of people are often not very good.

In general, Ciri was a little worried that if she got used to enjoying herself here, she might find it quite uncomfortable to go back.

After all, in her world, not to mention the variety, the price of the seasonings themselves is very expensive.

Fortunately, this kind of life only lasted for two days...Why do I feel a little sad?

His eyes moved to Lin Qiao, who was standing in front of the grill and continuing to grill meat, with a strange look on her face.

"what happened?"

"No, it's just... I feel like you're quite different from before."

If Lin Qiao had always given her the image of a hateful demon who liked to torture people, now he at least looked like a human being.

Aside from the fact that this guy doesn't like being a human being, he is still quite a human being...

"So we'll start training again tomorrow?"

"No, no, still no." Xili quickly waved her hand to reject Lin Qiao's "good intentions".

The extreme training method that the other party gave her was effective, but it was also really torturous.

"By the way, are the futures you talked about... all true?"

He smoothed a strand of white hair on his forehead.

The reason that forced her to persist in that hellish training, besides her own desire to master power, was the miserable future that the other party talked about.

What? Emhyr is my dad?

What? Geralt was stabbed to death with a pitchfork?

What? Yennefer died saving Geralt?

What? Old man Vesemir is dead too?

What? I'm dead too (just maybe)?

After listening to Lin Qiao's description of the future, Xili was completely numb.

Basically, the whole person is in a state of confusion.

Even though the other party said that it would take some time for these things to happen, just thinking about the content made her feel a chill running down her spine.

Compared with the latter few, the fact that Enhyr was her biological father made it easier for her to accept... although she didn't want to accept it.

"It should be said that these are all possible futures. As for whether they will happen..."

"If you are capable enough, then these futures are just lies I use to scare you and force you to obey me."

He reached out and brushed across the stove from which flames were still emanating, and the flames inside instantly went out.

Lin Qiao turned her head and looked at Xili.

"For example, when Geralt and the other two got drunk and dressed as women, you could have told Yennefer in advance and asked her to slap each of the three witchers."

"…Can't you use another example?"

The expression on Ciri's face looked a little embarrassed... Nonsense!

Others might have laughed their heads off when they heard about her father and three uncles he knew wearing women's clothing, but Ciri, who was involved, only felt her face getting red.

"So you're actually from... uh, my future timeline, and after leaving my world, you ran into my present self?"

As if not wanting to continue talking about the previous topic, Ciri asked another question that had been in her mind for a long time.

Lin Qiao glanced at her and said, "If you are planning to retaliate against me in the name of training me when I am still weak in the future, then I advise you to give up. You don't have that chance."

"..."

Don't interrupt my fantasy so bluntly!

Ignoring Xili who was a little embarrassed because her little thoughts were seen through, Lin Qiao's gaze gradually drifted away.

The clouds are a bit thick today, but...

I have a bad feeling.

The spider sense, which had basically never played any role and even Lin Qiao herself had almost forgotten this skill, suddenly sent out a prompt for some reason.

——Something is about to happen, be prepared.

And Ciri, who had been chattering in front of him just now, also became inexplicably flustered.

"Lucy, Sasha, the situation has changed. You should retreat first."

Without any hesitation, Lin Qiao acted the moment this premonition appeared.

The current situation was not beyond his expectations.

Rather, he had anticipated a similar situation when he was training Ciri.

After all, she had used teleportation too many times during this period, so it was not surprising that she would be detected.

But I didn't expect it to be at this time... maybe it's because I used teleportation just before.

Is this the curse of barbecue?

Less than a cup of tea after Lucy and Sasha left, suddenly, a strong wind blew in the courtyard of the villa.

The storm seemed to come from nowhere, and was so strong that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to even stand in place. The stove and table that remained in place were instantly blown to the wall more than ten meters away.

Relying on her own abilities and physique, Lin Qiao directly resisted this storm that could blow away an adult.

Ciri's eyes widened. She was also not affected much by the storm.

The temperature around is dropping rapidly.

It was a midsummer night, but the air around was freezing cold.

A thin layer of frost formed on the ground in the blink of an eye.

The water in the swimming pool froze into huge ice blocks in just a few breaths.

——Hoarfrost.

A terrifying force that is so terrifying that it can cause a world to perish in despair and turn into an ice ball.

This is also why he let Sasha and Lucy go first.

Rather than saying that white frost is a force, it would be more accurate to say that it is a natural phenomenon.

And there is only one person who can use this power——

Wild Hunt!

A layer of white mist, like fog mixed with snowflakes, blew quickly towards Lin Qiao.

The sudden drop in temperature instantly formed a layer of frost on his body surface.

“Is this the White Frost…?”

Not paying attention to the freezing body.

Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes, held the spider evolution bottle in her hand, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

“——Nothing more.”

Chapter 376: Fighting in Groups and Rear Areas

Bang!

Accompanied by a sound similar to an air explosion, flashes of light appeared in the yard.

It was a huge hole that looked like a whirlpool.

As if walking out of a nightmare, knights covered in black skeleton armor appeared one after another.

Walking out of the portal with them was a ferocious monster with its limbs crawling on the ground and its body covered with minerals - the Wild Hunt Hound.

With their arrival, although the surrounding temperature was still frighteningly cold, the deadly white frost seemed to have stopped.

"You have nowhere to run, Giv'Aire."

A strong voice sounded.

The Wild Hunt soldiers surrounding Ciri made way for the owner of the voice.

He was a man who was much taller and stronger than the other soldiers, more than two meters tall.

Although the armor on his body was also made of bones, it was much more exaggerated than that of others, and the shape of the helmet was also different.

A huge hammer carved with a human face and a huge black iron shield as big as a door panel really make him different from other Wild Hunt soldiers who use swords.

“Ilerith…?” Ciri looked at the figure in front of her and murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

The core commander of the Wild Hunt, one of Eredin's lackeys, and a relatively big lackey at that.

"It seems that you are doing well in this world, holder of the Ancient Blood."
