The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Do you want to deal with them?" Leo turned his head and looked behind him, and those who followed him asked in a deep voice.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "No need, it's the last day, as long as you don't provoke us, don't bother with them."

"Where are you going next?" Leo asked again.

"Let's go to the arena!" Sylvia thought for a while, and said, "Fran used to have a knight arena. I remember seeing knight arenas there when I was young, but it was a pity that the place was demolished later."

Hearing Sylvia's request, the two turned around and walked towards the arena.

However, when they came outside the arena, they found an angry Geralt leading Regil and others wandering outside the arena, not knowing what they were doing.

"Geralt, what happened?" The two immediately stepped forward and asked about the situation.

Before Geralt could speak, Angulane jumped out and rushed to answer the question.

It turns out that Cassirer, Angulane, and Milva went to nearby taverns and grocery stores to inquire about news, to see if they could find out some news related to Stiga Castle. After all, if Stiga Castle is really occupied, they need to purchase supplies Definitely coming to Claremont.

As a result, they did inquire about some information related to Stiga Castle, knowing that there are some people living in Stiga Castle. dismembered, and with impunity afterwards, for at the head of those men were relatives of the Claremont magnate, Viscount Dominique Bombastus Hofner.

This Viscount Dominique Bombastus Hofner is definitely one of the most important figures in Claremont. Even the mayor has to bow his head in front of him, because nearly 40% of the town's property belongs to this man. Lord Viscount, the other 60% is more or less invested by him, and he also built the gladiatorial arena in the city.

It can be said that the economic lifeline of the entire Claremont is in the hands of the viscount, so that the appointment of officials in the town sometimes needs to obey him.

Although the residents of the town know what kind of bad guy this viscount is, he has a good reputation outside because he often holds some charity activities and has built several orphanages, hospitals and nurseries , and therefore outsiders think he is an upright, kind and good man.

It was also because Dominic Bambastus Hofnar was related to Castle Stiga, so Cassirer asked more about Dominique Bambastus Hofnar , but they found out some news that might be related to Ciri.

Some time ago, the relative of the Stygian castle sent Dominic Bambastus Hofner a gladiator. This gladiator was very strong and won several battles in the arena.

It's just that the reason why this gladiator has attracted people's attention is not because he has won several gladiatorial fights, but because this gladiator is just a little girl, a little girl with white hair and scars on her face.

When mentioning the little girl, the person who said this also looked at Angulan, and felt that Angulan looked very similar to that little girl except for the color of her hair and the absence of scars on her face.

At this moment, everyone knew that the gladiator was Ciri, and then they found out that someone was going to capture the little girl. As a result, the little girl killed two of those people and injured two, and the little girl also escaped from the arena , This matter has been the topic of Claremont for a long time. After all, there are not many things that can see Dominique Bambastus Hofner deflated.

Cassirer and the others returned to the hotel immediately after inquiring about the news, and told Geralt the news.

After hearing the news, Geralt ran to the arena with his steel sword in hand, seeking to settle accounts with that Dominique Bambastus Hofner.

It’s just that Dominic Bombastus Hofnar doesn’t seem to be in the arena, and Geralt knows Dominic Bombastus from the ordinary staff in the arena through the control of the witcher’s seal. S. Hofnar was no longer in the city at all, making Geralt so angry that he couldn't start. He could only stand outside the arena, thinking about whether to destroy some of Dominic Bambastus Hofnar's industries Vent anger.

When Sylvia and Leo were shopping just now, they also habitually inquired about some local information in Claremont, including information about Dominic Bambastus Hofner, and they knew that the Viscount Your lord is also a local salt official appointed by the Nilfgaard Empire, and most of the money he has created in various industries now comes from the salt affairs.

So, Sylvia persuaded: "It's useless for you to destroy this place, it won't hurt his foundation at all, these industries are just his sideline business, his main business is salt mines, unless it is a powerful big Noble, deprive him of his title and take away his position, otherwise even if you destroy the whole of Claremont, it will only be a small loss of property for him."

Hearing what Sylvia said, although Geralt felt that the words were reasonable in his heart, he still had no intention of calming down emotionally. The thought of Ciri being arranged to have a fight with people in this arena After a life-and-death fight, his anger surged upwards.

"You guys, you dare to make trouble outside the viscount's arena." At this time, a dozen idlers and thugs with weapons appeared from an alley. All of them looked so fierce that they almost had the word "bad guys" written on their faces. The leader of them walked towards Geralt and the others loudly, and pointed at Geralt with the weapon in his hand, saying, "The arena is here!" It happens that there is a lack of a freak to attract the audience, after I catch you, I think Lord Viscount should be happy to buy a freak like you at a high price and put it on display in the arena." He looked at Leo and Sylvie again Ya, said: "You two guys stole the armor passed down from my family, and you dare to show off here..."

Sylvia didn't listen to the other party's nonsense at all, and said to Geralt: "I think they should be handled by you."

Geralt, who was already full of anger, rushed towards those people with the steel sword in hand without even thinking about it.

Those idlers and thugs didn't expect Geralt to attack first, and they were stunned for a moment. Before they recovered, they saw Geralt raising his hand and making a gesture, followed by an invisible force After rushing over, those who didn't stand still fell down at the moment when the invisible force fell on them, and those who didn't fall couldn't stand still, and their minds were a little dizzy.

Before they could wake up, Geralt had already swung the steel sword in his hand. Every time he swung the long sword, a stream of blood would splash out, and a person fell to the ground. Within a moment, these idlers and villains were all Fell in a pool of blood.

Everyone around looked at all this in horror, and fled to nearby shops to hide, and the street became quiet for a while.

After some killings, Geralt vented his anger and calmed down. Then he turned his head to look at Angulan and the others who looked worried, and said, "Sorry, I made you worry!"

"It's okay, uncle! It's okay!" Angulan shook his head repeatedly.

"It's better for us to leave here." Cassirer said, looking at the corpse on the ground.

Geralt nodded.

Everyone hurried to the hotel, obviously they couldn't rest in the city tonight.

At this time, Leo, who never joked, suddenly said, "I wonder if your nickname will become Claremont's Butcher?"

After hearing the words, everyone turned their heads and looked at Leo, who was speechless.

"You're really not suitable for telling jokes." Sylvia smiled and shook her head.

The group quickly returned to the hotel, without saying anything, directly took out the horses and luggage from the stable, and rode straight out of the city.

Not long after Geralt and the others had left, the town's security team came to the hotel and asked about Leo's whereabouts. After knowing that they had all left, they stopped chasing them.

In Claremont, a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, people die every day. It is not a very important thing. If the number of deaths is not too many this time, the people who did it were outsiders, and they did it outside the viscount's arena Yes, maybe the sheriff is still sleeping in his office and won't come here at all.

Just like the countless cases that happened in Claremont, this case also turned into casualties in street fighting after some toss, and no one paid any attention to it.

After leaving Claremont, the group simply set up a camp in a forest clearing far away from Claremont. While camping, Geralt once again apologized to everyone. If he hadn't been impulsive, everyone should be able to fully enjoy themselves now. the rest.

In this regard, everyone said that they don't need to care about it, and they are already used to resting in the wild anyway.

After that, everyone didn't chat for too long, and took a rest after eating some food sold in Claremont.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone packed their bags and continued on the road, heading towards Stiga Castle.

Along the way, they did not encounter any obstacles and went very smoothly, but because they were not familiar with the roads, they went to the wrong place. Fortunately, they found it in time and quickly turned back to the right road. They arrived at the place where Stiga Castle is located in the evening. place.

Stiga Castle was built on the edge of a cliff next to a lake. Because it was built as a fortress, the city wall was very strong and the location was extremely precipitous. It could only be attacked from the main entrance, and it was impossible to sneak in from other places.

By the moonlight, Geralt could clearly see the guards on the castle wall patrolling back and forth. He could see that they were holding their hands very tightly, as if they were protecting or guarding something. Possibly in a castle.

When Geralt turned around and was about to discuss with everyone what to do, Leo stood up and said, "I will climb up the city wall later, and then I will deal with the guards on the city wall and open the city gate. Attack in, but once the gate is opened, the alarm will be triggered, and the other guards in the castle will be alarmed, and there are probably a lot of people you have to deal with." Then, he turned to Sylvia and said: "You will follow them later. With you here, those guards shouldn't be a problem."

"What about you? We're dealing with those guards, what are you doing?" Angulane asked a little puzzled.

Leo said in a deep voice, "I'm going to find the person holding my things. If I'm not mistaken, that person should be Vigfortz."

Just when Geralt was checking the situation of the guards through his eyes, Leo had already controlled everything in the castle through the spiritual network, and he also sensed the positions of the remaining pages of Night God's Sigh through the tattoo behind him.

However, because of the interference from the broken pages of Ye Shen's sigh, and the large amount of anti-magic metal in that place, his mental network could not specifically ascertain the situation inside, and could only vaguely sense a few people.

After hearing Leo's words, Geralt and the others also expressed no objection, and then the careful Sylvia reminded everyone to put the wizard healing potion that Leo gave them before and put it in a place where they could get it and drink it at any time, so that they could drink it during the battle. If you are injured, you can drink the potion in time to heal the wound.

Leo took off his cloak, threw it on the ground, and quickly rushed towards the outer wall of the castle.

Although he was wearing a heavy armor, his movements were still as nimble as a cheetah. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived under the city wall. Then he kicked the ground hard, jumped up, and then cast a psionic energy downward With the impact, he rushed himself into the air, and after reaching the height of the city wall, he rolled over and jumped in.

At the same time, he also drew out the two great swords of the abyss in his hand, directly splitting a nearby guard soldier who hadn't reacted in half, and then swung the great sword out of his hand and stabbed the heads of the two guard knights.

After pulling out the big sword, Leo grabbed the torch on the brazier and shook it in the air to notify the other side, then jumped down the city wall and turned the hinges to close the city gate and gate.

Although the harsh bell sounded in the castle at the moment he pulled the hinge, it did not affect him. He turned the capstan quickly and opened all the gates and gates of the castle. Geralt and the others came from The outside rushed in. At this time, some guards closest to the city gate had already rushed out.

Compared with Geralt, Sylvia's movements were faster. She directly took out the repeating hand crossbow, and quickly shot deadly arrows one after another. When Geralt and others fought against each other, it was already Half of them fell.

However, Leo didn't look at the battle situation here, he quickly jumped up from the ground, used several psychic shocks in succession, spread out the psychic wings to let himself glide in the air, directly crossed the bottom of the castle, and flew to a tall place on the upper floor of the castle. At the top of the tower, he turned over and jumped in from the window of the tower, and saw several people who were in the tower at the moment.
