The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 764 Came to Waylon
"I didn't expect you to be so peaceful with these bandit soldiers," Geralt looked at Xie Yuan teasingly as he rode his horse again on the road to a village in the north, "And your soft voice can accurately reach me. What's in the ear? I didn't feel any energy fluctuations."

"I can answer your second question first. This is a method called sound transmission—compressed air flow to an ultrasonic frequency, which is directed to the ear on the other side."

Xie Yuan looked at the group of horses gathering together to graze behind him, and then said to Geralt: "As for why we try our best to make friends and not offend them. It is because although he has not been officially recognized by Nilfgaard, he Nearly one-third of Lun's domain is still owned by this baron, and we will definitely need his help if we want to find traces about Ciri."

Of course, Xie Yuan also knew that the group of people just now would definitely bring disaster to the village, but he knew better that they needed the baron's power now, so these evil deeds could only be ignored.

"The baron seems to control more than half of Waylon's land!" Although Geralt also hated the baron's banditry, he was still thinking, "But it is not easy to ask this kind of warlord who has become a king to help us—— Fogard can't order him, and it's hard to say whether he will use this secret once he knows it."

"It's all about human effort." Xie Yuan was very confident about this. "This kind of local warlord's position must have great disadvantages. Many things must be done by an outsider."

"I'm not a killer," Geralt said emphatically.

"Me neither, but if the person who needs to die in this mission is not a good person...it's just a matter of convenience for me."

Xie Yuan didn't pay much attention to this.

The place the two are going now is a village called Heatherton-this place is on the other side of the hill.

As a spy of the empire, Hendrik basically didn't have the habit of communicating with too many people. He lived with a widow in that village.

But now the two must go there as soon as possible, because according to the shop owner, when he got up this morning, he found a strange light shining on the other side of the hill. He suspected that the imperial army was plundering the village.

But Xie Yuan and Geralt suspected in their hearts that it was probably the Wild Hunt who made the big noise!
Sure enough, when they came near Heatherton, both of them could feel that the air they exhaled had turned into fog... and as soon as they entered Heatherton, they could see the weather at the end of May and early summer, but the whole village was condensed Hoarfrost.

And there was a cold in the nose, and a strong smell of blood... Many people died here, and the deaths were absolutely terrible.

"There are survivors!" Xie Yuan heard a lot of barking dogs and a man's cry for help from a long distance away. He immediately dismounted, and then took off the double sticks on his back. It became an eyebrow stick.

Geralt also dismounted immediately, drew the steel sword behind his back, followed Xie Yuan, and then saw a man in rags holding a torch to drive away the wild dogs that smelled blood.

The wild dogs quickly noticed Xie Yuan and Geralt who rushed over. Since there were no flames that beasts hate around these two, they directly gave up on the "difficult" torch bearer and turned to Xie Yuan launched an attack here.

It has to be said that these feral dogs who are familiar with humans do have some skills. This vague trio is quite harmonious.

Fortunately, Xie Yuan was not so ordinary, he waved the iron stick vigorously, and danced three stick flowers, which landed on the heads of the three wild dogs exactly.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The three wild dogs with a huge depression on their heads rushed forward before they could even howl, and collapsed powerlessly to the ground without making a sound.

This should be regarded as hitting the dog's head with a stick.

"Clang!" Geralt immediately put away his sword, and then cast a mind-controlling spell called Yaxi in front of the survivors who had unconsciously said "leave me, leave me alone", so he finally A little bit of normalcy returned.

It's just that he has only one bad news for the two seekers.

That was yesterday, the entire village of Heatherton was killed one by one by the Wild Hunt knights in full suit of armor, only this man survived.

But Hantrick was tortured by them for a whole night before he fell silent.

When the two found Hendrik's home, they saw the spy's body lying on the floor of their house covered in blood, and there was hardly a trace of good meat.

For this, Xie Yuan disliked the Wild Hunt knights even more - this is simply genocide, since you are not benevolent, then don't blame me for being unrighteous.

But Xie Yuan glanced at the layout of the house and the ground under his feet, and pointed to Geralt at the corpse: "Look for his shoes or pants, see if there is anything, I'll clean up the ground. "

Before Geralt could say anything, he went directly to the floor not far from the corpse. There were a lot of dirt and grass lumps on the ground, which seemed to be specially used for making carpets and cleaning shoe soles.

Geralt could only sigh, and ran over to search the body, but after a while of groping, he couldn't help but pause—because he did find a key.

Then he turned his head and saw that Xie Yuan had cleared out an underground secret door.

Geralt immediately handed the key to Xie Yuan, and Xie Yuan inserted it directly into the keyhole of the underground secret door, opened the secret door with a "click", and lifted it up.

The basement is a dark room with a lot of space.

"How did you find out so quickly?" Geralt was a little surprised.

"Although I don't specialize in intelligence work, I have worked in this industry for decades. I can tell the habits of many agents at a glance."

Xie Yuan took out a box of matches from his pocket, lit one, and threw it down... The flame burned evenly until the end was burned out.

After confirming the air circulation below, he jumped down to the cellar.

Geralt also jumped down, looked at the surrounding environment, and then twisted on a fixed candlestick on the wall, "creak!" The earth wall driven by quicksand suddenly began to shrink inward. , showing another part that was hidden.

"Hmm, interesting..." Geralt commented.

"Wild Hunt Knight is an elf who has lived for hundreds of years, can't Ma Deshen personally judge the tricks below?" Xie Yuan looked at the missing person notice on the wall, and at the same time looked at the secret room that was carefully hidden , Sneered at the elves from another world who had been interrogated for a day.

"Maybe they just need to hear what Hendrik knows...Igni...or maybe they're just too proud."

Geralt responded to Xie Yuan while lighting the oil lamp in the dark room with the fire seal.

After entering the room, Geralt quickly discovered Hendrik's ledger...it was actually a note disguised as a businessman-the notes hidden in the ledger were the intelligence details left by Hendrik.

Geralt began to read the notes one by one: "Missing bounty: The target has appeared in Skellige, and there are eyewitness testimony in Novilia, the target's appearance has not changed, gray hair, scars on the face, will avoid contact with others..."

"This is about Ciri. It seems that the information we got first-hand came from Hendrik." Xie Yuan analyzed after listening, "Please continue."

"Drunk pig, the guy who claims to be the baron, please go to his castle, or the fort that is illegally occupied (for unknown reasons), and talk to the Baron of Crow's Nest."

"Hmm... Sure enough, we were right not to cause trouble just now. It seems that one piece of the puzzle about Xili's whereabouts is in the crow's nest, but it's a pity... I guess you may not succeed so quickly." Xie Yuan regretfully put the The reward map was revealed.

"why?"

"Because you're a witcher, and if Ciri is well received here, she'll talk about everything—certainly about you."

Xie Yuan handed the reward map to Geralt: "The only thing she might not talk about is her life experience, otherwise she would never be able to leave, but now the baron is also in trouble, and he just can't think of any way to solve the problem... Now Opportunity came automatically?"

Geralt took the blueprint, which was written about the bounty for the baroness and the baron's daughter, and it had been around for a while, which annoyed him a bit.

"Damn it!" Geralt reluctantly folded the bounty and put it in his backpack, then continued to look at the notes.

"Well, this one is also very important." Geralt found another page: "There was a conflict with a witch: the target arrived in the swamp, met a witch, conflicts ensued, the reason is unknown. Find the witch, talk to Mi Peasant talk from the village of De Corps."

"Swamp, witch..." Xie Yuan fell into deep thought, "The former is to the south of the crow's nest, which is almost the weak point of the baron's ruled area... The local people generally have a very traditional primitive belief—Kmidkulp Si Village happens to be in the north of this place, isn't this a contradiction?"

"You have to see it yourself to know." Geralt also had some doubts in his heart after hearing Xie Yuan's words, but he insisted on reading the last chapter in the notes: "Be careful: someone is watching me, I don't know who it is, and Not sure why... the dog ran away. The water in the bucket froze. There was a strange light in the sky, which the farmers said was a bad omen."

"They seem to have discovered that Hendrik was looking for Ciri, so they tortured him..." Geralt closed the book, and made a final summary to Xie Yuan, "We are late, and now the only clues are the baron, and some Witch."

"I'm interested in who will be Hendrik's watcher?" Xie Yuan was particularly interested in this. "Is it a human? Or a local elf cousin?"

"Your guess is too dangerous..." Geralt shook his head to dispel Xie Yuan's thoughts, "If you are not careful, this will simply make the human forces in the north and south jointly target the elves... and who is watching has nothing to do with us , we just need to find traces of Ciri."

"Then... do you want me to be in charge of the witch? Or should I go directly to Novella?"

Xie Yuan made the final confirmation to Geralt.
