The Death Knell

Geralt withdrew his hand and picked up his sword from the grass.

"A man in full body armor, hiding in a tree like a Scoia'tael."

The visitor took off his helmet and revealed his face. He was young but looked very authoritative.

"Ah, don't worry, I'm not an elf, I'm a pure human."

Ciri was examining the werewolf's body, and she discovered that the werewolf was not actually dead, but that its skull and brain were shattered, and it healed very slowly.

As soon as this man kicked down, the werewolf seemed to have been hit by a trebuchet.

"I didn't know that humans could crush a werewolf's skull. It's a very strong part. It's difficult to break it even with a heavy weapon like a sledgehammer."

As she said this, she kept a distance from Su Ming and walked back to Geralt.

Ciri was still a little wary. When she saw such a person wearing terrifying heavy armor, she would think of the Wild Hunt. Although this heavily armored mask is not a skeleton, the glowing red one eye is also very scary.

"Well now you see, hehe, I'm Slade from New York, nice to meet you."

"Go and collect the materials for werewolves. There's no problem here." Geralt put his sword on his back and told Ciri. Then he looked at Su Ming: "I am Geralt of Rivia. I don't know about New York." Where, but you are indeed human."

Ciri may know, but Geralt really couldn't imagine that New York is not New York.

His adopted daughter Xili has a special ability and can travel through different universes. She doesn't even need any preparation, she can travel through it with just a thought.

She has a very strong ability. She can travel not only the universe, but also the timeline. She has been to the earth and witnessed a completely mechanized future society.

This is also the reason why the Wild Hunt hunted her. Those elves originally had the ability to travel across the multiverse, but then lost it for unknown reasons.

They want to capture Ciri and study it in order to regain this ability so that they can spread the flames of war to all universes.

There is no special reason. Although the elves are mostly regarded as a symbol of elegance, the Wild Hunt is different. They are like a swarm of insects, plundering and destroying is their nature.

Su Ming's current position is in the multiverse under "Dark Horse Comics". In addition to the old comic characters, this comic company has also created stories for game characters in recent years.

"The Witcher", "Halo", "Tomb Raider", "Fallout", "Call of Duty", "The Last of Us", these games are undoubtedly well-known masterpieces.

It’s a pity that Su Ming’s computer at the time was not very powerful, and he could barely play World of Warcraft at the lowest image quality. He could only play through other masterpieces via video, ahem.

Not to mention this, Su Ming has a long list of reasons for coming here.

One is to make money. Gold coins are easy to earn here. Even farmers and bandits have Oren coins on them when they go out.

The wizarding world has a gold standard currency system. Each country has its own gold coins. Oren is the currency minted in the free city of Novigrad. One coin can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins.

Secondly, Su Ming wanted to learn more about time and the world from another known time traveler, Shiri.

It's not an indigenous statement like the convergence of the heavens and the earth, but information with a higher footing.

The third thing is to see if the 'storage box' here - the saddle strap, that peculiar prop that can be stored across space no matter where you are, can still be used across the world.

Finally, if there is a chance, he also wants to get the starry sky gate that the Wild Hunters can connect to different worlds. Although that thing is broken, if he can get it, what if he can take it back and let Gu Yi and his adjutant help study it?

If it can be repaired successfully, it will be very helpful for the future.

With that, Su Ming can bring more people, more supplies, and even drive a car or plane when he travels again.

The location of the Wild Hunt world is completely unknown. If you want to find them, it is better to ambush Ciri.

However, the current timeline is a bit late. Ciri has already carried two swords on her back, which means the story of the game has ended.

Instead of inheriting Nilfgaard, she became a witcher with Geralt.

Her eyes were still blue, like azure gems, indicating that she had not experienced the 'Trial of Green Grass'.

The Trial of Green Grass is a way for witchers to train their descendants.

It is difficult for a human body to compete with various monsters, and it is necessary to use various potions to strengthen itself.

But these potions are toxic, and apprentices must taste various poisons from an early age to enhance their immunity.

When the master feels that it is almost done, which is usually when the apprentice is ten years old, the Green Grass Trial will be held.

The 'green grass' decoction is a very powerful mutagen. It is not really made from grass, but some very precious monster materials.

It can bring all aspects of physical transformation to the demon hunter, such as strength, endurance, speed, reflexes, lifespan, etc., which will enter the inhuman level.

After passing the Green Grass Trial, demon hunters can officially come into contact with those alchemical potions and decoctions. As long as they drink them in a limited amount, they will not be poisoned to death.

At the same time, you can also strengthen certain aspects of your abilities through the mutagen cells obtained from monsters.

But the toxicity and side effects of this decoction are too strong.

Only twenty-three out of ten apprentices can survive the grass trial. Even if they survive, the decoction will change the genes of their entire body.

The main side effects include loss of pain sensation, eyes turning into snake eyes, temperament becoming cold, and loss of fertility.

Therefore, witchers generally have a good relationship with witches who are also infertile. Their long lifespan means that every witcher always has a few witch 'friends'.

Ciri didn't need to go through that. Triss and Yennefer taught her a lot of magic skills, and her own bloodline power was enough to use some incredible skills.

Flash followed by backstab is also difficult to prevent for many monsters.

Her disadvantage is that once she is injured, she has to look for ordinary herbs to heal and recover like ordinary people. For a normal demon hunter, those injuries can be solved by just pouring a bottle of 'Swallow' potion.

The Wild Hunt will never die. They will come back after they elect a new king. The ability to travel across the world has a fatal attraction for them.

In order to show that he had no ill intentions, Su Ming took the initiative to sit by the fire and placed his helmet on the ground beside him. It was summer in this world, but there was always a bit of coolness in the forest at night.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of New York. It's just a small place anyway, and I happened to be passing through here on my way to Novigrad."

Geralt sat opposite him, and Ciri behind him was handling the werewolf's body with a silver sword while Jane was retching.

The witcher threw some branches into the fire to revive it.

"To Novigrad? Where's your horse?"

"I walk faster, but doesn't that matter for a game of Gwent?"

Su Ming smiled and took out a stack of cards from his pocket.

In fact, he has been in this world for a while, and learning the language is always a must. In order to blend in with the crowd, he also bought a set of Gwent cards and assembled a deck.

After that, he traveled around the world playing cards with people to make money, and looking for white-haired men or white-haired women.

He learned that Nilfgaard was half dead, that the North was now under the control of the former intelligence chief, and so on.

When he passed by Willen, he heard that there were qualified people heading north to the City of Freedom, and Su Ming followed them specially.

Seeing the Gwent cards, Geralt no longer worried about anything. A flash of light flashed in his eyes and he quickly took out his deck of cards from his pocket.

"How much bet?"

"I have very good wine here, produced by the Thunder Brewery in Dun Morogh, and I also have a good home-brewed wine called Skywalker."

Su Ming took out two wine bottles from his backpack and placed them on the grass.

Geralt looked at the drink, took out twenty Orens, and placed it next to the bottle.

"Draw a card!" x2

Seeing Geralt and the stranger speaking as if they were possessed by something, saying various lines that made people couldn't help but facepalm, Ciri sighed deeply.

I heard that when Geralt was looking for her and the Wild Hunt, he still kept playing cards all the time, and even gained the useless title of Gwent Master.

She felt so tired.

The poker game has been very stalemate. Geralt's deck is better, but Su Ming's brain is faster. The two of them are almost deadlocked.

However, Su Ming raised his hand on purpose in the end and lost the game.

This wine was originally used to build relationships, as was playing cards. Geralt didn't have many hobbies, and it happened to be both of them.

While Geralt was drinking, he had temporarily forgotten the strangeness of meeting a stranger in the middle of the night.

Thunder Beer is produced in World of Warcraft. Although it is beer, it is also the beer of dwarves. It is not as strong as usual.

Skywalker's collection of spirits will naturally be good in the hands of boss Su Ming.

Witchers have a very fast metabolism, and alcohol has little effect on them, so Geralt's taste is similar to that of a troll, and the stronger the drink, the better.

"This wine is very good. I can't tell whether it is better, the one from Toussaint or the one you made at home."

Su Ming took out another drink from his backpack and drank it himself, pretending to be careless and asked: "How is Toussaint now?"

"It seems that you know about me. Toussaint is still like that." Bai Lang looked at the charcoal in the fire: "Those two sisters seem to be living in a fairy tale now. I still have an orchard there."

Su Ming nodded. It seemed that the story of blood and wine was over, which meant that many years had passed since the end of the game, and now the Wild Hunt could strike back at any time.

If the Wild Hunt came he would still want to catch him alive.

That's right, the Wild Hunt all come and go through the Star Gate. After this technology is damaged, the transmission is not very complete. They behave like a group of ghosts in the wizarding world.

They have a special kind of mage to locate and navigate the world, and Su Ming is also somewhat interested in this.

"I think we are on the same road. Why not go to Novigrad together? It will be safer on the road." Su Ming extended his hand to Geralt.

Geralt shook hands happily: "Of course, we can play cards if we have time."
