Chapter 35 During the departure period, comments)
Two weeks passed in a flash.
In the White Grape Manor, Zach, Yennefa and Geralt are preparing to embark on a trip to Sinneid Island.
Zach does not need armor or weapons, and goes into battle lightly.
Yennafa's clothes are directly made of magic and do not need to bring any other clothes, but they bring two large boxes of carry-on supplies.
Only Geralt was busy preparing his luggage.
He changed into a suit of capable armor, which was much lighter than the thick robe he had worn before.
The innermost is a cotton lining, and a layer of short-arm mail vest is covered with the outside, and metal shoulder pads surround the neck.
There was no thick cotton robe left on the lower body, only tight leather leggings left.
This set of armor is said to be a standard equipment before the decline of the Wolf Hunter School.
Geralt took a weapon from the wall.
Unlike the steel sword he had been using before, this weapon was closer to a long sword.
Its blade was opened on one side, and the slightly curved sword body reflected cold light, and the bronze hilt and handguards were carved with exquisite and complex patterns.
Alice's Sword.
This is a family heirloom given to him by a new friend Geralt recently.
Just as everyone was ready to set off, an uninvited guest came to the manor to visit.
She was wearing a black robe, her face was hidden deep under her hood, and she was surrounded by a heavily armed bald man.
She only showed her true face after entering the manor cabin.
"Geralot." The woman took off her hood and showed her beautiful face. Her standard black short Nifgaard tied her hair into a small braid behind her head.
The witch hunter greeted him: "Shianna? Demien!"
The bald man also smiled enthusiastically.
"White Wolf! Long time no see!"
Xiweiya Anna.
The elder sister of Anna Henry Yeta, Duchess of the Principality of Toustente, is also a relative of Emperor Nshir Wah Enris, and the sorcerer Fringira Weige.
She, who was supposed to inherit the position of Duke Toustente, had a "tragic" life experience.
Just because she was born on a total solar eclipse.
There is a prophecy of "Black Sun Curse" in the world of the witch hunter. A warlock predicted hundreds of years ago that human civilization would eventually be destroyed in the hands of a girl born during a solar eclipse.
This prophecy is likely to be just made up by warlocks. The real purpose is to destroy political alliances and break marriages. It is just a common trick for warlocks to disrupt the order of the dynasty and manipulate mortal kings.
However, ironically, for some reason, the people began to take the nonsense of warlocks seriously, and people began to abandon, abuse and even kill these "cursed" girls.
And these murdered girls have also grown into female devils who retaliate against society.
Under the vicious cycle, this prophecy became more and more true.
It is precisely because of this prophecy that Xi Anna not only lost her inheritance rights, but was also exiled to the people.
"White Wolf, you saved my life, but I have never officially thanked you..."
"You have been canonized as a knight in Livia, and there is no need for Anna and I to enthrone you again. So..."
Damien took out a fur package and handed it to the witch hunter.
When you open it, you will see a steel long sword with a cold light inside. The long sword is simple and simple, without any gorgeous decoration or patterns.
There is no blade at the root of the sword body and can be used as an extended hilt for left hand grasping.
A giant sword with two hands.
"This is the Tousten Knight Sword I have made for you by Toustente's best craftsmen. I hope you can use it easily."
Geralt picked up his long sword and waved a few sword flowers at will. The oil lamp on the table was swayed by the sword energy.
"Although the sword itself is very heavy, its balance is unusually good." Geralt commented, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Although this was a heavy two-handed sword, he felt that he could use it to wield a sword dance as fast as the wind.
"Annato, I will bring you her blessing..." Xi Anna took two steps closer to the witch hunter: "Although she is the emperor's cousin, I'm afraid she can't do much in such things. You know the emperor's character."
Yennefa, who was standing beside him, hugging his hands and watching the scene with caution.
"Well...Thank you very much for your gift, Siana." Geralt took two steps back and hit his butt on the dining table behind him, shaking the silver tableware.
Yennefa gave Zach a look, and the black magician who was hinted, smiled and said, "Ahem... Geralt, it's getting late, it's time to leave."
Xi'anna was so tactful that she stopped the topic. She turned around and smiled at Zach and said, "Mr. Stuart, this time I'm afraid I'm not too simple to meet the emperor. Geralt will ask you."
Yennefa rolled his eyes beside him.
The mage smiled and nodded: "Thank you Ms. Xi'anna for your concern."

After Xi'anna left, Zach quipped with a smirk, "She hasn't really "repay" you?"
"Repay? What does it mean?" Geralt looked up.
Then he seemed to recall something. He glanced outside the door and saw Yen Naifa busy checking his luggage. He frowned and said, "Do you think I am that kind of person? Besides, I don't like this person very much."
Zach raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Geralt to keep his integrity in this matter.
He himself doesn't catch a cold about Xi'anna.
Although this woman has a miserable life experience, her methods of revenge on society are too extreme. In order to retaliate against her sister who did not stand up for her when she was exiled, she seduced a high-level vampire to kill innocent people in Tosent, thereby shaking the foundation of her sister's rule.
However, deceiving high-level vampires is like playing with fire and burning themselves. After understanding his identity as a dog licking, it led the vampire army to attack Tosent's capital, Bowklan, and carried out a city massacre that night.
Although the massacre was terminated by Geralt and his group, the casualties were already endless.
Zach felt that this woman was simply not worthy of death.
But there is no way, who can make the emperor's cousin?
Even the guilty Duke Anna herself pardoned her.
Geralt rescued Anna from the senior vampire, and made great contributions. Only when Cary lost can he still live his life in Tosent.
When everything was settled, Anna continued to be her duchess, and Xi'anna returned to the court and lived the upper class of royal relatives.
Only the countless dead souls that died in vain turned into resentful spirits and cried out every night.
Who can save them?
———————————————
In the manor, Geralt inserted three long swords into the bag beside Radish.
The fairy's silver sword in the lake, the sword of Alice, and the Tousten Knight's sword.
Being ready, he nodded to Yennefa, who began to chant the mantra.
In order to prevent them from falling into the trap, they decided not to teleport directly to the designated location of the meeting, Sinide Island, but to the nearby town first and then ride horses to the destination.
Soon, a vortex portal slowly opened in front of the three of them.
Yennefa first walked into it with his horse, Geralt tidied up his shoulder pads and walked in with his eyes closed.
Zach was about to take a step, but he heard a strange noise coming from the tree next to him.
He looked in search of the sound and saw a few crows standing motionless on the branches, staring at him with blood-red eyes.
Chapter completed!
