The Fantastic Journey of the Void Mage

Chapter 485 No.60 Nine You Have A Beautiful Daughter
Dealing with a corpse baby is not a difficult task. Although the corpse baby can transform into a terrifying monster, it is not difficult. It mainly depends on the way of handling it.

One is to bury the dead baby under the threshold in accordance with the ancient tradition, so that it can be reborn as a household fairy who guards the family.

This is also an ideal approach, but it is more of a race against time, because it requires one night to prepare, and at the same time, everything must be dealt with before the corpse baby turns into a monster.

And the other one is very simple and rude, just find the corpse baby and wait for him to turn into a monster, then ask Geralt to cut it in half with a sword and kill it completely with a little blood.

The blood was not meant to be used as spoils of war, but was used to perform an ancient ritual through which information on the baron's wife and daughter could be found.

Josh could see that Baron Philip chose the second method very much. The corner of his mouth twitched but he didn't say anything. It seemed that he planned to leave the decision to himself and others.

So Josh still asked Geralt to use the first method, which wasn't particularly troublesome anyway.

Either way I'm going to have to wait until dark, so why not choose a better way to handle these things?
Now that this matter was settled, and Geralt also pulled the baron out, Josh and Ciri simply rested here.

"I didn't expect Baron Philip to have such an experience." Seeing the two leave the room, Ciri sighed.

"It's really tragic. This guy has to manage the entire territory while enduring such a tragic green tragedy at home. One can imagine how uncomfortable this baron is." Josh nodded.

It is indeed very uncomfortable. To be honest, only the baron can endure his wife's attitude for decades.

Although he often said that his last resort was to use the cruelest means to take revenge, but Josh felt that if he was asked to do it again, he might still do that.

And his love for his wife is also a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. If it were Josh, he would have killed or driven this woman away long ago.

How can I let her stay by my side, and then make my daughter hate me all the same?

But this is someone else's business and has nothing to do with him. Now Josh and the others have obtained complete information about Ciri from the baron. Of course, this is for Geralt.

So Josh planned to wait for Geralt to settle the matter of the baron, and start again together.

In fact, Ciri's experience here is no different from the original book. First of all, Ciri participated in the competition with the soldiers here to get the horse, and even defeated the baron to get his beloved horse.

But just as Ciri was winning, a petrified bird appeared.

The petrified bird attacked the baron and took him to his lair. In order to save the baron who took good care of himself, Ciri used her magic power.

Then the baron came down, but Ciri herself was in trouble again-her magic could attract the wild hunting.

In order not to cause trouble here, Ciri had to go on the road again, and her destination was Novigrad.As a result, they hadn't left for a few days before Josh and the others caught up, which was simply very lucky for Josh and the others.

"Fortunately, we came a little late, otherwise we will be in big trouble if we do meet."

"You keep saying that there is trouble, but if there is any trouble specifically, can you stop just saying that it will affect the timeline? Do you have a more specific statement?"

"Um, don't ask, if you ask, you can't tell your own experience."

"."

Shirley shook his head helplessly at Josh's character again, but a prince with such a character seems to be pretty good.

Afterwards, they casually chatted about other things, and after enjoying a dinner with Geralt and the others after watching the Corpse Baby, they began to pass the time silently.

During the period, Josh also took the Baron to play a good game of Gwent, probably to make up for the previous regrets.

The baron didn't refuse either, and the two of them playing cards also attracted the attention of Ciri and Geralt, and it turned out that it was better not to play Gwent with a magician.

Especially the situation where this magician is so shameless and unscrupulous!
"Damn! Your Excellency, are you cheating? Why are your cards so good? Even your cards are complete?" The baron yelled without dissatisfaction after losing the game.

"Nonsense, of course I have a full set of cards. Don't you know that for a magician, there is no pressure to directly make a set of cards like this?" Josh completely ignored the baron's dissatisfaction, as if you were about to lose Act like handing over your cards.

"God, you're cheating! The Gwent card is unique."

"Fart, I can make as many cards as I want, and I can guarantee that every card is real! Get it quickly!"

Faced with such a guy, what can the baron do?So in the end, he handed over the Gwent card to Josh with great aggrievedness, and then completely refused to continue playing cards with Josh. Josh didn't care about it anyway, he had achieved his goal, didn't he?
The time of playing cards always passes quickly, and before you know it, night has fallen.

Geralt looked at the time and took the baron to deal with the corpse baby. Everything went smoothly—although the baron was frightened by the monsters that appeared, and was also disturbed by the corpse baby's cries. , but he still obediently completed what Geralt asked him to do.

After finishing all this, Geralt let the baron go back to rest, and he began to follow the holy goblin soul to find the whereabouts of the baroness.

He followed the house goblin to a roadside dwelling not far from the crow's nest, and got news of Anna's mother and daughter.

He was relieved to get this news, so it seemed that the baron's task had been completed.

After spending some time, Geralt rushed back to Raven Castle and told the baron about these things. At this time, it was getting light, and the baron was sitting alone in the hall.

"Well, did you find them?"

"Not good news, didn't you rest last night?"

"God, I can't sleep. Can you tell me what happened?"

"Your wife Anna was caught by a monster into the Mireback Swamp, and your daughter Tamara fled to Oxenfurt."

Geralt sighed and sat down. Although he was a little tired, it was nothing to a witcher.

Geralt told the baron all the news he got from the farmer, which made the baron very excited.

"No! I want to lead the soldiers to rescue Anna! Although there are many conflicts between us, she will always be my wife!"

"My advice to you is to take a good rest and wait for His Excellency Josh to deal with it. Because with him, everything has room for recovery."

Hearing Geralt's words, the baron frowned in distress, but he really didn't dare to disturb Josh and their rest.

What's more, Josh's ability is very terrifying. He has seen it (although it is only a very small part), and he also thinks what Geralt said is very reasonable, so he simply sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night, but now that he got the news of his wife and daughter and knew what to do, the Baron felt relieved all of a sudden.

It didn't take long for his purring to start, and it didn't stop until near noon.

"Are you awake?" Geralt was cleaning his sword, and asked directly after discovering the baron's situation.

"Oh my! Damn it! What time is it now!" The baron just woke up and was not very sober, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately asked loudly.

"It's about ten o'clock in the morning and close to eleven o'clock, so don't worry."

"Why didn't you call me?"

"Why did I call you? You lack rest, if you pass in that state, I'm afraid you will die there too.

Your Excellency Josh said, although you are a speculator, and you are considered a qualified lord, but you are here, at least those innocent guys will not have a miserable life, although it is better for you to live. "

"This evaluation is really true."

The baron gave a wry smile, then stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body.

He had already seen Josh and Ciri outside through the window, and it seemed that Ciri was bathing a griffin—he had already heard what he told him to do, and Josh and the others were riding a griffin.

"Your Excellency Josh, is he a nobleman?" Suddenly, the baron asked Geralt.

"Yes, he is indeed a nobleman. Moreover, he is also a great nobleman." Geralt froze for a moment when he heard the baron's question, then nodded his head and said in affirmation.

"And what about the lady next to him?"

"You mean Daenerys? Is there something wrong with her?"

"There is no problem, I just think that this lady is very familiar. I always feel that I seem to have seen her there."

"To be honest, I have the same feeling, but it's a pity that she is not the person I am looking for."

Geralt sighed, it seemed that he was not alone in thinking that the lady named Daenerys looked like someone he was familiar with.

Because of family problems, the baron treated Ciri as his own daughter at that time, and took good care of Ciri, so he might have some impression of Ciri.

"By the way, can you tell me what Xili Xili looks like now?"

"Oh?" The baron looked at Geralt suspiciously: "Isn't she your daughter? Why do you ask?"

"Siri and I haven't seen each other for many years, because some special things caused us to separate. In my mind, there is only her as a child"

"I understand. I want to tell you the good news. Ciri has grown into a beautiful woman. When she came to Crow Castle, my subordinates also had some bad ideas, but I stopped them. Congratulations." You Geralt, you have a beautiful daughter."
