Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

When Gordon woke up, it was already bright outside the window.

Last night, he played too crazy and too late with Efendi, which made Gordon sleep a little deeply.

He stretched his hand to the side and saw that the quilt was empty, leaving only a faint alluring body fragrance still lingering on the pillow.

"Are you up already... It seems that I slept really deeply this time."

Gordon secretly said, then stood up, washed up, finished all the operations, dressed neatly and went out.

When I came to the lobby downstairs, I realized that it was extremely noisy. It was only the morning and the Black Rose Tavern was already almost full.

Gordon stood in front of the bar, ordered breakfast, and ordered a cup of hot goat's milk.

Looking left and right, I saw Evni Geraltshina and the three of them sitting at a table, eating and chatting.

Gordon walked over with hot goat milk.

"Good morning, everyone!" Gordon smiled.

"Good morning, Gordon."

Xina said cheerfully that she liked today's showdown the most.

"I'm up. I saw you were sleeping deeply, so I didn't call you."

Yevni, who was sitting in the same row as Xina, looked up at Gordon and smiled.

Gordon nodded and sat next to Geralt.

"It seems like there's a lot of momentum today."

Gordon sat down, took a sip of goat milk, turned around and looked at the many people around him who were pointing and pointing at him and said.

"Judging from the fact that the son of the mayor Viscount butler came to our door yesterday, I'm afraid everyone in Forovdo is paying attention to your duel, Gordon."

Geralt said.

"I know that guy Rhodes should have played a big role in this."

"I have already figured it out. The guy last time must have deliberately provoked us and provoked me, and he was willing to put up a huge bet!"

"If this duel doesn't attract enough attention and makes enough noise, even if he defeats me, it will be difficult to recover the cost."

"He certainly didn't expect that not only did I agree to him, but I also gave him a more favorable way to challenge."

"Although the bet has increased from seventy gold coins to one hundred, I have to beat him to get the bet."

"This is much more cost-effective than giving me seventy gold coins from the beginning!"

"But it's precisely because of this that Rhodes is willing to spend enough money and motivation to promote the tavern showdown between us."

"Now the time has come. Not only a large number of demon hunters have noticed this battle, but also the entire Forovdo has focused its attention here."

"When this battle is over, the winner's reputation will surely spread to other places as people talk about it."

"He wants to step on me and become famous, so naturally I want to step on him and become more famous!"

"The only difference between us is that I am a well-known young demon hunter in Forovdo, while he, Rhodes, is unknown."

"This was not a fair competition!"

"But he paid a lot of money to make me agree to compete, which also offset the gap between us."

"So, this challenge is fair between us."

"Rhodes dares to pay a big price to challenge me, he must be strong enough."

"It depends on who can have the last laugh."

Gordon said slowly in a deep voice.

Xina, who was still a little confused at first, and Yevni, who only knew a little about it, immediately understood the whole story of this confrontation.

"I was a little worried that your boy would be angry when he saw Rhodes and that he would despise him."

"It seems I'm worrying too much."

"As you said yourself, Gordon, this duel is very important. If you can win, I guess it won't take long for your reputation to spread to the north."

"When we go to the north, we won't have to worry about entrusting us with tasks..."

Geralt shook his head and said with a smile.

"A tavern duel is really complicated..."

Listening to what Gordon and her teacher Geralt said, Xina suddenly muttered.

"Haha, this is actually not complicated. You just need to remember that there are no unearned benefits in this world, and just think more about it when you encounter problems."

"Otherwise, how could the tavern owner exempt Gordon from all consumption, give us a 50% discount on our consumption for so many days, and even came here to tell us last night that he would give Gordon a bonus. This is all for the same reason."

"We can also enjoy it with peace of mind."

Geralt laughed.

As the four of them chatted, it was afternoon.

Although it didn't snow today, the sky is still cold and gloomy, and depending on the situation, it may snow at any time.

The Black Rose Tavern was already full of guests, but there were still a large number of people lingering outside the tavern door.

At this moment, three tall figures in black robes suddenly stopped not far from the entrance of the Black Rose Tavern.

After handing the reins to the attendant in charge of the guests' horses in the tavern.

The three tall figures looked at the dense crowd at the entrance of the tavern, and then they realized that they were not going in at all.

So the three of them looked at each other and decisively took off their large black robes.

Although the three people dressed as demon hunters attracted a lot of people's attention, that was all.

Because there were many people in the crowd dressed similarly to the three of them.

However, when the youngest and tallest of the three walked up to the crowd blocking the road and said, "I am Rhodes, please give way," this attracted the attention of the onlookers.

"Rhodes, is he the demon hunter Rhodes who had the tavern duel with Gordon?"

Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

"That's me!"

Rhodes was overjoyed that someone finally knew about him.

Rhodes' response immediately caused the crowd of people watching outside to start a row.

"Rhodes is here, will the tavern showdown begin?"

"Where is Rhodes? I want to see if that guy is worth my bet. I'm really fed up with those mentally retarded people who always boast about the awesomeness of the Witcher Gordon..."

"Is Rhodes here? The showdown is about to begin. Damn it, where is the owner of the Black Rose Tavern? I haven't placed my bet yet!"

"Rhodes, I beat you to win, you have to kill that guy Gordon for me!"

"Rhodes, all my money is on you, you must win!"

"Rhodes..."

Just by saying his name, not only the crowded crowd took the initiative to make way for him.

He also had a large crowd of people cheering for him. Rhodes enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Thank you for your trust..."

"I see..."

"Thank you for your support!"

While being cheered by everyone, Rhodes was able to maintain the usual cold demeanor of a demon hunter at first.

But gradually, when he heard everyone cheering his name, Rhodes couldn't help but respond.

He couldn't wait to defeat Gordon and be cheered and worshiped by more people.

"Rhodes, don't pay attention to those guys, keep a low profile!"

The middle-aged demon hunter Giles frowned at Rhodes' excitement and immediately whispered.

"This is already the Black Rose Tavern. I'm about to have a duel with that kid. It doesn't matter."

"Anyway, I don't believe they couldn't guess how arrogant I looked in front of them, but what does that matter? As long as I defeat that kid, it doesn't matter if I am so arrogant!"

"Giles, you are just too cautious!"

"Let's go, they are still waiting for us inside."

Rhodes said as he strode into the tavern.

Giles was one step behind, thinking about what Rhodes had just said to him in a loud voice, grinning sneer.

"If it weren't for the gold coins, a guy like you would dare to sneer in front of me!"

"I hope you can win this time, otherwise, hum..."

Giles' face was gloomy, and he raised his foot and followed him with displeasure.

A corner of the tavern.

The four Gordons who had just finished dinner were playing Gwent.

Gordon has been pulled and beaten a lot by Geralt recently, and he actually started to like this thing a little bit.

It seems that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

However, Gordon had good luck playing Gwent, and Geralt kept dragging Gordon to play cards because he lost more than he won.

Geralt wants to fight for his reputation, he can't do this.

At this time, Gordon and Geralt were playing cards again, while Evonne and Sheena were watching the game and chatting from time to time.

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the direction of the tavern door.

Immediately afterwards, someone called Rhodes was heard, which attracted the attention of the four Gordons in the corner.

"Is that rude guy here?"

Xina said and immediately stood up and looked towards the door of the tavern.

However, the tavern was crowded with people at this time, and Xina was not tall, so she could only see roughly.

"Gorton, Rhodes is really here. I saw the demon hunter named Giles..."

Xina said excitedly.

"He's coming. Do you still want me to greet him? The boss of this duel, Ques, has made a lot of money. He will arrange it. Just wait!"

Gordon, who was at the juncture of losing, was in a bad mood.

"If you lose, just take it out on others. Gordon, your brand is not good..."

Geralt dropped the last card in his hand, smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"When did I get angry at Xina?"

"Geralt, you just won two games in a row and you dare to jump like this. How many times have you lost to me today?"

Gordon picked up the silver coin in front of him and threw it to Geralt, saying unhappily.

"I say you two should stop. The tavern owner is here."

Yefenni smiled as she looked at the two people who were arguing again, raised her head and signaled that they were not far away and said.

Gordon raised his head and saw the middle-aged tavern owner Quess walking over with a smile on his face. Several tavern waiters and some enthusiastic guests were already helping to arrange the tables and chairs.

"Gorton, that Rhodes has arrived!"

"Do you think..."

Boss Ques smiled and pointed in the direction of the bar and said, his words were very polite.

Gordon looked towards the bar and saw the two guys, Rhodes and Giles, and a strange demon hunter beside them. The three of them should be in a group.

Seeing Gordon looking over, Giles, who saw Gordon at the side, said something. Rhodes immediately turned to look at Gordon, his eyes full of provocation.

"I know, I'll go prepare..."

Gordon retracted his gaze and said calmly, he was not wearing any equipment now.

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements!"

The middle-aged boss Quess smiled and left quickly.

Gordon turned around and looked at Evni Geraltshina beside him. The three of them nodded, got up and walked upstairs.

The three of them have already said what they need to say, and Gordon has always been reliable, so there is no need to say anything more at this time.

Passing by the bar, Gordon inevitably ran into the three of Rhodes.

"Gorton, I'm here on an appointment. I believe you are ready!"

Rhodes's eyes lit up when he saw Gordon, he took a step forward, looked at Gordon and said loudly.

Gordon could see that although Rhodes's face was relatively calm, the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden at all. He didn't know whether he was really excited or fake. Anyway, this guy's acting skills were quite realistic.

"You'll know in a minute."

Gordon's voice was cold, he stretched out his hand to push Rhodes out of the way, and walked straight upstairs.

For Rhodes and Giles, who were already enemies, Gordon was too lazy to be conciliatory and made no secret of his hostility.

Rhodes was unhappy with Gordon's arrogant attitude, but there was nothing he could do about it.

I had to secretly say that I must make that guy Gordon look good!

Gordon went up to prepare, but the tavern owner Quess acted quickly. The tavern hall, which was more spacious than before, was quickly cleared and became spacious and empty.

In the center of the hall, just like last time, there are two large tables and registration books.

The owner of the tavern, Ques, loudly greeted the new customers who had not yet placed a bet to place their bets. One person was responsible for registering and two people were responsible for counting the money.

In fact, this time the casino started as early as two days ago, the day after boss Ques confirmed the duel from Gordon.

The regulars who frequent the Black Rose Tavern have basically placed their bets, and most of the casual bettors today are new customers.

Otherwise, with so many people crowded into this day, the boss, Ques, is afraid that something will go wrong.

As the duel approached, many people who were unsure about paying attention finally made up their minds and started betting.

The table in the center of the hall was quickly surrounded by people.

After a while, the number of people around the central gaming table began to dwindle.

Geralt then said: "Have you brought all the money?"

Yevney and Xina nodded.

"Let's go, it's time to make money."

Geralt smiled and led the two of them towards the gaming table in the center of the hall.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

When three heavy money bags were placed on the empty table to represent Gordon's side, everyone didn't think anything of it.

But when the three money bags were opened, a brilliant golden light immediately blinded the eyes of everyone around them.

Everyone was shocked: The big gambler is coming.
