The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 770 Ending the Exploration of the Elven Ruins
When they arrived at the deep library in Avalak's lair, there was no one there except for the mess.

The messy scene shows that the Wild Hunt riders have rummaged through everything, and if they had more time, they might have torn down the whole place.

In the dead silence, only the three-dimensional image of the elf mage is still playing continuously on the platform in the corner of the room, and the reason why it has not been violently destroyed is simple: one is that the platform for projecting magic does not have any magic traps and dare not act rashly.

Another reason is probably that the news is completely outdated for the pursuers: "Daughter of the Seagull, Jivie Elle, this place is no longer safe, don't stay here.

Trust no one, but watch out for the Witch of the Humpback Mire.And try to get to where we last met. "

"It seems that you don't have to worry about Ciri for the time being." Seeing Xie Yuan staring at the projection, the sorceress comforted softly, "Judging from the content of the message, at least Wild Hunt can't catch them based on it."

"I've never worried that this guy Ciri will fall into the hands of the Wild Hunt...especially in this world." Xie Yuan regained his calm and laziness, "I'm just a bit regretful that I couldn't stay with the "Navigator" just now, Otherwise, you will be able to develop a different teleportation system after researching here."

"It's not that simple...but thank you anyway." Keira waved her hand with a smile.

"So, Ms. Keira," Xie Yuan looked at the projection that had been in the activated state, "You have been here for a while, have you heard of the witch in the humpbacked swamp?"

"I've never seen them, but I...knew about them," Kayla recalled as she walked, "I found a manuscript in a house in the village, and there was something written about them."

"The manuscript said that sometimes the village witch would go into the Humpback Mire to help mediate between the villagers and the old witch, the mistress of the forest."

Speaking of this, Keira shrugged helplessly: "The old witches seem to hate outsiders, but they are willing to help the locals. It is said that they once prevented the plague from spreading in Velen."

"...Well, the demon god who occupies the mountain as king?" Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, "You said that the last witch was a mediator between the villagers and the old witch, so what about you? Didn't the old witch show up? Is it possible to let you take office by yourself or in a dream?"

"Well... since you said that, they did look for me." Hearing what Xie Yuan said, Keira also frowned, with a very serious expression. "In the first two weeks in Weilun, I kept having terrible nightmares. There is always something in my dream that asks me to walk into the swamp."

"One night, I was determined to control myself in my dream and confront that thing head-on. Unexpectedly, it disappeared immediately. Since then, I have had a good night's sleep every night."

"Well, it seems that the level of the old witches is not completely relying on their strength to run the theocracy here, they are even a bit bullying..."

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan, who had a good idea, immediately asked Kaila: "How can I find them?"

"This swamp is very large and dangerous, but I heard that the old witch will help the villagers who want to find them to guide the way. The manuscript mentions that there is a small church in the humpback swamp, and you have to walk along the snack path before the church."

"Dim Sum Trail... Ha, I've heard similar stories." Xie Yuan quickly recalled a similar story from his memory.

"It seems that there are similar stories circulating in the East, so take this book." Kaila handed Xie Yuan an old book with a brown-red cover from the small bag behind her, "I...I really believe that you and Jie Lott can find Ciri together, but can we figure out a way out now?"

"Oh... this matter is easy." Xie Yuan pointed to a wall on the right side behind Keira, "The wall there is a bit unreal, I guess it should be the illusion of your magic system! But it seems There is no wind."

Kaila glanced at Xie Yuan in surprise, then walked over to touch the wall, nodded to confirm: "It's an illusion, and I felt it too——Your spiritual sense is very keen, have you ever considered learning magic? "

"Forget it, it's been a long time since I licked blood with a knife head, and I can't learn it no matter how much I want to learn." Xie Yuan politely declined.

In fact, it was because Xie Yuan thought that there would be no such "simple" magic system for extracting natural magic power in other places, so he didn't even bother to learn it, but he didn't want to offend anyone either.

"Well... your loss." Keira was a little regretful when she heard the words, but she didn't insist anymore. After all, everyone has their own ambitions.

"Then this magical illusion... Dear Ms. Keira, can you do something?" Xie Yuan did a very standard gentleman's etiquette.

"I expected this kind of thing a long time ago, so I prepared this."

To get the flattery of Xie Yuan, a powerful warrior who can deal with great magicians... From the perspective of Keira in this world, even knowing that this is a kind of etiquette, Keira became smug.

She took out a combination of a cross and a gear-shaped metal plate and handed it to Xie Yuan: "This is the eye of Nehreni. It can make people see through illusions. It is not difficult to make. This can only be given to you. Very good." use."

As she spoke, she suddenly approached Xie Yuan's face: "And every time you use it, you will miss me once."

"Thank you, Keira." Xie Yuan nodded earnestly, and then used this new prop, the Eye of Nehreni, to sway on the door wall, and the illusion disappeared instantly like a ignited paper curtain.

"Look, it's very simple, isn't it." Keira praised proudly.

"Hmm... this craftsmanship is really good." Xie Yuan immediately acted as a pioneer, "Then let's see where this road leads to?"

After walking for a while, Xie Yuan came to a T-shaped intersection. He moved his ears, smelled it with his nose, and immediately walked to the right.

"Hey! Wrong," Keira stopped him immediately, "Didn't you notice a gust of fresh air coming from the left?! That's the exit?"

Xie Yuan turned his head and looked at Kaila with caring eyes: "That's right, I think so too, so I don't think the elf mage will put your reward in the open-air exit, right?"

"Ah? Uh... yes!" Keira slammed her fist belatedly, "And the magic lamp, he promised to give it to me, but it looks like I have to get it myself."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Xie Yuanxu pointed to the front on the right, "Let's go quickly! Quick battle."

"Great!" Keira also seemed very happy, "Here we come."

On the other side of the slope, there is also an iron gate blocking the way, and four elf stone carvings guard the door—the stone carvings turned out to be mechanical stone carvings that can turn around and move, and the answer to the mystery is hidden on the iron gate.

Keira doesn't seem to be a scholar who has worked too hard on ancient languages, and although Xie Yuan has the memories of several Wild Hunt knights, he is not a mother tongue after all, and he has only a half-knowledge of reading.

Fortunately, the literal translation of this thing also clarifies the general meaning - it is estimated that this kind of "code door" belongs to the level of fun of an elf mage... Otherwise, it would be a shame if even Avalak couldn't solve it himself.

After opening the door of the secret room, what they saw in front of them was a huge tombstone with a white swallow symbol engraved in the center.

Keira was still a little puzzled for a while, but Xie Yuan recognized its meaning: "This...isn't this a shrine for Laura Doran?"

"Well... makes sense, but why can't it be a monument?" Keira disagreed.

"As far as I know, most of the elves don't seem to like this woman very much—after all, she seems to have intermarried with humans. The mainstream opinion thinks that she is a traitor, and her death is retribution."

"Then this elf is her descendant?!" Keira thought, "That's why you help Ciri like this?"

"Actually, it's dog licking that you can't love." Xie Yuan replied in his heart, but it was not something easy to say after all.

Although he didn't want to see Avalak, but as a man's dignity, Xie Yuan tacitly kept the truth from being revealed too much.

Keira immediately took the magic lamp placed under the shrine, even though it had been extinguished, she didn't care.

After finding the magic lamp, Kaila, who was satisfied, followed Xie Yuan to find the exit, untied the illusion, and walked out.

A period of not-so-long peering ended briefly.
