The Fantastic Journey of the Void Mage

Chapter 483 The Bloody Baron

"Tell me, what did you find?"

The bloody baron touched his still uncomfortable neck and said in a dissatisfied tone. At the same time, he also took out a bottle of wine and filled it up for himself, then poured it into his mouth.The bloody baron is very addicted to alcohol, and Josh still knows this.

Not long ago, after the Bloody Baron was directly hung up by Josh with magic, this guy knew that he was definitely not a match for these people in front of him, and in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, he decided to have a good talk with these people.

Anyway, they were indeed looking for him alone, so he simply let these people come to his room.Even if there is any trouble, he will bear it alone.

Josh and the others knew what this guy was thinking, so they simply followed suit.

Along the way, Josh also paid special attention to the residents outside Crow Fort.Although the commotion caused by Josh and the others was too great, the residents were all in their dilapidated houses, and they only dared to poke their heads out to have a look.

But this is enough. The residents here are not as pale as those living outside the city, and there are still a lot of old people and children here. No matter how you look at it, they are refugees who lost their families because of the war. This makes Josh His favorability for this bloody baron has increased a lot.

After all, although this is the case in the game, God knows how much difference there will be in reality.

Now it seems that there is basically no such gap. Even in the game, because of various miniaturized maps to avoid negative experience for the players, the real scene looks more magnificent. Simply put, the baron has taken in more people than in the game. .

"It seems that you care about these ordinary people, although your name is not very good. Also, if you drink like this, you will lose everything." Josh looked at this guy drinking and shook his head.

"Drinking is my thing, and even though I have been participating in the war, it doesn't mean I have no mercy for those ordinary residents. Let's talk about business."

"You've done a good job, but it would be much better if your subordinates also joined you. Okay, let's talk about business. We're looking for someone, a silver-haired girl. We know you saved her, right?"

The baron nodded. Of course he had an impression of the silver-haired girl Josh was talking about because it wasn't a long time ago.

As for the problems of his subordinates that Josh and the others said, the baron was also very helpless, because he could guess what was going on.

Looking at the girl with the same long silver hair and the pretty face, the baron couldn't figure out what happened, so he could commit suicide.

To put it bluntly, he was interested in money and sex. As for the death of that guy, the baron didn't feel much melancholy.

After all, they were just a group of murderers and robbers. If it wasn't for maintaining the rule, as a veteran who had been on the battlefield all the year round, he would really disdain to take them in.

Of course, since he was taken in, he still had to make a gesture, otherwise, what would he do to make these guys obey?

"I have indeed seen her, but I want to know why you are looking for her." The baron was still quite vigilant, and did not tell Josh and the others the information they wanted in the first place.

"She is the daughter of the witcher behind me."

"Don't lie to me, Your Excellency, demon hunters also have the ability to reproduce?"

"...Okay, adopted daughter. There are some things that you know and don't say, it's very hurtful."

"."

Geralt frowned, and Ciri also looked at Josh with a strange look.

Josh didn't care about such eyes, or he didn't pay attention at all, and the corner of the bloody baron's mouth twitched, and then quickly recovered his calm.

"Well, I believe you. That little girl saved my life. Since you said that you are her relatives, I would be happy to let you reunite." The baron paused suddenly when he said this: "But."

"Speak frankly, don't try to play around with me, and I'm also in a hurry." Josh knew that this guy still had things to ask himself and others, so Josh said simply: "Of course, don't try to talk to me either. Let's delay, I can let you tell me everything I want to know, don't doubt, I am a magician."

"Of course, Your Excellency. Although I'm called the bloody baron, you can see that I only treat enemies bloody." The baron nodded: "It's just that my wife and daughter suddenly disappeared recently, and I have no mood to deal with it." anything."

"Disappeared?" Geralt stroked his chin, curious as to what it was.

"Yes, they just disappeared. When I woke up one day, they disappeared." The baron said in low spirits. He lowered his head, trying to hide some other emotions.

"It's not a good thing to lie, it's not a good thing for either of us."

Looking at the baron's expression, Geralt knew that this guy wasn't telling the truth. As soon as Geralt came into contact with this type of thing, he couldn't help but take over the leadership of Josh. Josh was not surprised by this.

Geralt's ability in this area is very strong, otherwise Josh would not have thought of a way to let this guy go to his own territory and try to work as a policeman, so this guy suddenly occupied a dominant position, and neither did Josh. What do you care about.

Geralt's words kept the baron silent for a long time, but this guy still emphasized that his wife and daughter disappeared instead of running away, which gave Geralt a little headache.

But this is the baron's family business, and Geralt doesn't care too much, he just needs to confirm that the baron's wife and daughter have run away.

"Take me to see their room, but before that, tell me about Ciri."

"Of course." Seeing that Geralt was not struggling with these things, the baron also sighed: "The first time I saw her, I was brought by the villagers who lived in my castle. They came from Pontar I crossed the lower reaches of the dry tributary of the river, killed many monsters in the forest, and rescued one of my men and a lost little girl."

"It was a poor little girl, whose family seemed to have been killed by the wolf king in the forest. I took her in and let her live here."

"Is that so?" Geralt touched his chin, then said in a deep voice, "And then? Is Ciri injured?"

"She looked like a poor dog, so I took her in and cared for her for a few days."

"and then?"

"There is no more, Mr. Demon Hunter." The baron shook his head: "Our relationship is not good enough to help each other unconditionally, so I must seize this information that is beneficial to me. If you want to know more , you must show some of your sincerity."

"alright, I got it."

Geralt sighed, knowing there was no point in asking.

Turning his head to look at Josh, he found that this guy was talking to the girl named Daenerys in a language he had never heard before, which made him shake his head helplessly.

"Can you show us their room?"

"Of course you can, come with me."

Geralt followed the baron upstairs, and Josh and Ciri followed suit.

Soon they came to this room, and the baron walked out after taking a look. This room has long been changed, and his presence here will make him feel extremely sad.

"It looks like we won't be able to find Ciri if we don't help him this time." Geralt sighed helplessly, there was no way he could refuse such a thing.

"Indeed, didn't you notice that he was so enthusiastic after he found out that you were a witcher?" Josh said with a smile.

"I found out a long time ago. Of course, I was scared by you before, and I will tell these things after I noticed it."

"Of course, this guy is actually quite interesting."

More than interesting, Josh even thought that the bloody baron was a very outstanding character in The Witcher III.

In the plot of The Witcher III, there are many memorable characters, and the bloody baron Lip Strenger is definitely the best among them.

When Josh played here back then, he was also fancied by this fat man with a bad appearance and a very bad first impression.

The reason is simple, because this guy's contradictory character and what he did are really worth remembering by players.

Bloody Baron, judging from the title he gave himself, he would definitely not treat his subordinates and other people kindly.

And in fact, he treats those innocent civilians caught in the war pretty well, especially showing a sincere and fatherly look to young women and children, which is quite contradictory to his robber-like appearance and terrible nickname.

Moreover, the crow village he ruled was quite orderly, and the domestic violence was only caused by his wife cheating.

Afterwards, he buried his unborn daughter, and after turning her into a house fairy, there seemed to be a light in his eyes flickering.

Josh felt that he was just a poor man who wanted to get his wife and daughter back.

He did do something wrong. Years of battles made this veteran drunk and happy. After the war, he returned to his hometown with scars and alcohol smelling, only to find that his wife had already cheated on him.

It was a "mistake" to kill his wife's lover, not a "wrong hand". Of course, Josh believed that if he was given another choice, he might do it again. His wife was killed together!

When the loss of his wife and daughter made him regret everything he had done, he tried his best to make it up.

When he knew his wife's location and situation, he rushed towards her non-stop with others, and his wife was cursed to death and turned into a monster with neither human nor ghost, and he just felt distressed at this moment.

He is flesh and blood, smart, and likes to haggle with Geralt.

He is very romantic, and he has a whole garden of flowers that his wife likes.He was kind, and saved Ciri despite the risk of wild hunting.

Most impressive of all, is his repentance.

It's just a pity that Josh accidentally achieved a tragic ending. When Josh was going to play cards with the Baron, he unexpectedly found that he had hanged on a dead tree, and he was a little dazed.

Especially when Josh returned to the baron's residence, he had the idea of ​​deleting files.

"I have always wanted to get a Gwent card in your hand, and I have tried my best to win you, but in the end I still haven't won you once. Now you are dead, but I saw that card at the table where we often chat card, you bastard."
