All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 126 Heart of Stone

In the palace of Vizima, Li Qing, as the "distinguished guest" of Nilfgaard and the "future prince", naturally has a room of his own.

The key point is that Enshil didn't dare to do anything in such a place.

Although he felt aggrieved, as a qualified emperor, Enhyr's mentality changed quickly.

While secretly ordering people to prepare means to deal with Li Qing, he was also using various means to try to win over Li Qing.

After all, in terms of relationship, the two are still a family.

If he could use it for his own benefit, then he might have a chance to achieve his unprecedented great achievement of conquering the world before he died.

However, Li Qing was very determined and adhered to the principle of eating the sugar-coated bullets and hitting them back.

Then, after taking the opportunity to beat up the opponent again, Enhyr finally became a little obedient. It was not known whether he realized the situation or was looking for an opportunity to deal with Li Qing.

But Li Qing was too lazy to care about him. After he had dealt with Ciri's problem, he still had other things to do.

In the magnificent palace room, O'Dimm once again appeared in front of Li Qing as expected.

He bowed politely, then sat opposite Li Qing and said with a smile on his face:

"Hahaha, Lord Li Qing, I thought you would need some time. I didn't expect it to be over so quickly."

Li Qing waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, stop talking about that useless thing. What do you want me to do?"

O'Dimm: "Okay, okay, you're really anxious."

"Ogierd von Everec."

"That's the target's name."

"He has done business with me before, but it is clear that he does not have your ability, nor is he a qualified trading partner."

"So I need to complete his three requests before I can collect the debt."

"But he and I agreed that I wouldn't do it myself, so I need a powerful helper."

"Originally, I had my eyes on Geralt, but now I realize that Lord Li Qing might be a more suitable candidate than Geralt."

Li Qing placed his hands on the armrests of the chair and tapped them gently. There was no expression on his face, but he was thinking quickly in his mind.

The name Olgierd von Everec was not unfamiliar to Li Qing.

As a DLC for The Witcher 3, Hearts of Stone has an excellent plot, and the performances in the game are not bad either.

The brief plot is that this man named Everec's family fell into poverty, and his engaged wife was to be married to a prince.

As a last resort, he chose to study black magic, and then took the initiative to find O'Dimm to make a deal.

Although he became rich and immortal in the end, he lost his feelings because of the deal with O'Dimm, and ended up living a boring life.

It was not until O'Dimm went to collect the debt that he was freed with the help of Geralt.

But this is the original plot. For Li Qing, there is nothing worth being moved about Everec's affairs.

After all, this Everec is not a good person.

Moreover, there is a high probability that the current situation will evolve into what it is now, which is the result of the seduction of the guy in front of him now.

Most likely, O'Dimm sensed the desires and darkness deep in Everec's heart, so he appeared and led him to this step, and took away his soul like a drama.

As if this would make Everec's soul more flavorful.

"What I want to know is, is there any problem if I kill Everec directly?" Li Qing asked calmly.

"Of course not." O'Dimm shook his head, indicating that he would not do so. "I am a person who keeps his promises. Since we have agreed on the terms and signed the contract, I will naturally do as agreed."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

Li Qing was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. After all, it was all about signing the contract.

But this guy surprisingly kept his word. Li Qing thought that he would definitely do something tricky in the contract, but now it seems that he really didn't.

"Give me the address and where to find him. I'll be there in a moment."

"That's great, Lord Li Qing!" O'Dimm showed a perfect smile on his face, then slowly stood up, his face immediately covered by shadows and no expression could be seen:
"As long as Lord Li Qing can help me accomplish this, then the accounts between us will be written off, and perhaps we can become good friends."

“Although I don’t have many friends, each one of them is carefully selected.”

"Then I am honored, right?" Li Qing asked nonchalantly, then smiled and said:

"Okay, that's it, bye!"

"Then goodbye, Lord Li Qing!" O'Dimm's eyes were dazed in the darkness, then he turned and walked out of the room.

The door closed, but there were no more footsteps outside.

"Tsk!" Li Qing looked down upon his secretive attitude. Everyone knew what kind of person he was, but he still had to pretend in front of him.

After sitting for a while, the door opened again and Ciri walked in.

After entering, he looked around and saw no one. He walked to Li Qing and sat on the chair next to him, asking with a little curiosity:
"Have you finished discussing your affairs?"

"Who is that?"

"He's just a guy hiding in the dark and likes to stir up trouble." Li Qing didn't want to talk about him any more, so he just casually replied and then asked, "Are you ready?"

"We have been here for several days. Geralt and Yennefer have both gone to their own world. It is time for the two of us to leave."

"Otherwise, your father will commit suicide again."

"Hahaha!" Xili couldn't help laughing after hearing what Li Qing said. After more than ten seconds, she stopped smiling and said, "I'm ready."

"But I plan to stay here for a few days."

"Huh? Why?" Li Qing was stunned and looked at Ciri in confusion.

“Nothing, actually.”

"Emhyr told me that he doesn't plan to have any more children, so I am now the heir of Nilfgaard." Ciri also covered her forehead with a headache.

"I don't really want to get involved, but he said that if there is no heir, Nilfgaard will soon be in civil strife, start a war, or even split."

"So, he wants me to learn from him here for two days how to be an emperor before he lets me go on adventures with you."

"Fuck, is this old man blackmailing me?"

"He needs to be punished again!"

Li Qing understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Seeing that he couldn't handle himself, Enhyr tried to find a way to deal with Ciri.

The key point is that although Ciri is not a good person, she definitely has a sense of justice. The throne of the Nilfgaard Empire is indeed too big a concern, so it is not surprising that she became hesitant after hearing this.

"I'm going to talk some sense into him right now and see if he can have another child!"

Li Qing rubbed his hands, stood up and prepared to teach Emhyr a lesson. And this time he was not going to give him face, but to beat him up in front of everyone.

But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Ciri.

"Okay, no need to teach him a lesson."

Ciri laughed: "Anyway, I have decided to travel with you, I will not agree to him."

"Anyway, it seems like you have some things to do. When you're done, I should finish studying too."

Li Qing's eyes fell on Xili's face and he looked at it carefully. He indeed did not see any reluctance.

So he loosened his clenched fists.

Since Ciri has her own ideas, let her do it.

"Well, you stay here and I'll pick you up when I'm done with this."

Nodding, Li Qing clenched his fists again and touched them in front of him: "But after I come back, if he does anything else, don't blame me for being too ruthless!!"

A few hours later, Li Qing walked out of Vizima and headed towards the location given by O'Dimm.

Looking at the only horse accompanying him on the road, he couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, Li Qing took it all on his own.

But ever since I've been with Ciri, we've always been very close. Now that I'm suddenly alone again, I actually feel at ease.

However, the horse accompanying Li Qing had a look of reluctance on its face.

Obviously, the public food we eat is very good, and it is all processed fine grains.

Now, I can only eat weeds on the roadside.

Li Qing did not ride on this big brother, but walked on the road with it.

Fortunately, Li Qing's speed was definitely not slow. It only took him half a day to reach the location where Master Mirror said Everec was.

He stopped at the door and looked forward.

This is a manor of considerable size, tightly surrounded by erected walls, but Li Qing's height allows him to clearly see everything inside.

The door in front of me was locked tightly, but occasional cheers and applause could be heard from inside. I didn't know what they were thanking for.

Master Mirror's voice suddenly appeared behind him: "So, Lord Li Qing, do you want me to take you to see him?"

"This guy is a jerk. He might be rude."

Without even turning his head, not wanting to look at Odimm, he said, "I think you're being rude too."

"Come out after I'm done. I don't think anyone who has done business with you will still have a good impression of you."

"Hmm~~ Actually, there should be some."

O'Dimm left obediently and hid in the darkness.

When Li Qing was not fighting, he was still very polite and reached out and knocked on the door.

After waiting for three seconds without any response, he kicked the door in front of him and walked in.

This time, the noise Li Qing made finally attracted the attention of people in the manor.

Soon, a group of big men came out of a house in the manor, escorting a muscular man.

His hair was shaved except for some hair on top of his head. He was wearing equipment that didn't look cheap but looked strange. He also had a long sword hanging around his waist. He looked very capable.

He came to a position about ten meters in front of Li Qing, stopped, and looked at Li Qing with eyes that seemed to be emotionless, and slowly said:
"Sir, this is private property. I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place."

"Or are you some idiot who heard something and came to see me?"

Li Qing also looked at this guy, who was dressed like a nomad. He didn't look like a rich man at all. Instead, he looked like a sophisticated horse bandit who was always ready to go out to work.

Although he was indeed a bandit.

However, Li Qing has seen too many ruthless guys, so he is nothing compared to them.

Li Qing: "Are you Olgierd von Everec?"

"O'Dimm said he granted you three wishes. I'm here to help you fulfill them. Just tell me."

Hearing what Li Qing suddenly said, Mr. Olgierd Everec was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately.

He forced a smile on his face. He knew clearly what would happen next, but he felt no fear, no loss, and not even the slightest relief.

His heart was as calm as dead water, his eyes were cold and motionless, but his tone was not very friendly:

"Welcome, welcome. You are the messenger of Mirror Master."

"But why didn't that guy follow you?"

"Could it be that he knows that he will never be able to fulfill my wish, so he just sends a small character to get rid of the matter?"

Li Qing's eyes paused slightly and fell on his face:
"Mr. Everec, I advise you not to provoke me."

"Your so-called immortality is just a little effort for me. I don't have O'Dimm's bullshit contract to stop me."

Olgierd von Everec was stunned, as if he had not expected Li Qing to be so tough.

But now he also understood that Li Qing seemed not to be an ordinary person either.

His tone also softened:
"It seems that you are here to fulfill your promise. In that case, I will not say anything unnecessary or do anything unnecessary."

"Help me get back the Borsodi House so my brother Vladmi can experience a fulfilling life."

"These are my first two wishes. If you fulfill these two, then you can come back and hear my third wish."

Li Qing did not ask any questions, but simply nodded:
"So, I'll come here to see you after I finish it?"

"Of course, you can always find me here." Olgierd nodded, opening his arms to indicate that he would stay.

Li Qing glanced at him, then looked at the bandits behind him. Although these bandits were very afraid of their boss Ogierd, they obviously did not respect Li Qing that much.

He waved his hand with a little impatience, and suddenly a strong wind arose from the ground, blowing many bandits to the ground.

"Stop looking at me with that disgusting look, or I'll send you all to see O'Dimm."

After saying this, Li Qing walked to the door and saw a sign which seemed to be the names of the bandits in the manor.

He laughed disdainfully, kicked the sign to pieces, then turned and left the manor.

After coming out, Li Qing’s next step was to look for the so-called House of Borsodi.

This task might be troublesome for the original Geralt, but it is not difficult at all for Lee Sin.
