From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 39: The Lion and the Wolf

Rann frowned, pushing the door open with a loud noise, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

“Your king has done even more stupid things now, Baron. Rann whispered, “I met the royal army of Nastrog outside, and they were attacking Sintra’s caravan outside to blame the tree spirits—they seemed to desperately need you and the princess to die.”

So now Verdon is already an enemy in my eyes. ”

“So watch your words, speak less, Your Excellency, Baron. Save some effort to recover a little more body, you will need it. ”

There were three people in the room, two strange men that Lane had never met. One sitting, one lying down.

The third man, Ciri, was now lunging towards Rann.

Just as Ciri’s body flew towards this side, the familiar system prompt sound sounded at the same time:

【Mission – Fallen Princess – Completed】

At this moment, the big stone in Lan’s heart finally landed. Ciri had no accidents, and fate returned to its original trajectory.

Then as long as everything goes on normally, and he can relax and use this opportunity to ask for other things he wants.

“Ran! Ciri threw herself into the familiar arms, her tight nerves finally relaxed, and at this time she finally felt afraid, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time surged up in one breath, and her small body trembled and began to cry.

This is what a normal little princess looks like. Geralt on the side thought to himself.

The wolf demon hunter looked at Rann. The man in front of him is tall and has a calm temperament, but the lines of his face still have some green feeling. No more than eighteen years old, possibly younger.

He looks very handsome, even too handsome, and the blonde hair seems to attract sunlight. A cold armor with such a face is definitely a weapon to harvest those noble ladies.

In terms of strength, I haven’t had a bad judgment, and I can’t see muscles and the like in armor, but being able to break into here alone can prove a lot of things.

On the other side, Lane comforted Ciri softly, and at the same time looked at the two people in the room with separate thoughts.

There is nothing to say about the one on the ground, Baron Fishnet, the leader of Verdon’s greeting team this time. Unimportant supporting role.

As for the other – Lane looked at him carefully.

Milky white hair, handsome and vicissitudes of face, a scar in the left eye socket did not hurt the eye, adding a fierceness to the handsome face. The eyes are amber cat pupils, strange, deep and melancholy, and there is a coldness that cares about everything.

Carrying two swords, wearing an alchemy backpack strap, and a necklace in the style of a wolf’s head around his neck. Wearing close-fitting black leather armor, reinforced with chain armor at the shoulders, arms, chest and abdomen, it strengthens the defense as much as possible without affecting flexibility, and strong muscles support the armor.

The aristocratic lady raised in purdah may hesitate to look at this slightly dangerous appearance. And in the eyes of ladies with a little experience, this is a walking hormone, and it is not surprising that he will semi-passively become a pile driver in the future.

In the future, his stories would be written by his poet friends for centuries, becoming important research fodder for historians, occultists, and writers.

In front of him are: the Allah horn of the Demon Hunter series, the witch pile driver, the Gentre gambler, the future legendary demon hunter of the Wolf Faction, and Geralt of Livia, now nicknamed “White Wolf”.

He has the personality of most decent protagonists. The appearance is cold and the heart is hot, although this heat is severely beaten by the indifference of the mainland and hidden deep inside, he will only open his heart to a small number of people. He is funny and humorous when dealing with friends, shows sympathy in the face of weakness, is loyal and reliable to his comrades, and is not afraid of sacrifice.

It’s just that the current Geralt should not have grown up to the full body of the future, and he still has a long period of confusion before adopting Ciri and completing mutual redemption with her. Even though Geralt’s actual age is actually more than ninety years old.

Ciri finally vented her grievances and fears, and the child’s emotions came and went quickly.

Seeing Lan’s eyes colliding with Geralt in midair, she became interested and began to happily introduce Lan:

“Rann, this is Geralt of Livia, he protected me from the dryad during this time, and he saved me from under the mouth of a centipede that big. He also said he was a demon hunter, Ran. It’s the demon hunter that Mossas said when he was in class! ”

Ciri gestured with her arms open, though her short arms could not match the length of the giant centipede, and then buried her head in Rann’s arms and said in a voice that almost only two people heard:

“He said he was Geralt of Livia and that both Grandma and Mossas had mentioned him. He’s that Geralt. ”

Lane nodded to show he knew, then thanked Geralt. Even if Geralt is Ciri’s adoptive father in the future, he is now an outsider to Lane and Ciri.

“Thank you for taking care of Ciri during this time, Geralt of Livia. ”

Geralt waved his hand: “She’s a very smart kid – she even gave me a fake name.” ”

The demon hunter lowered his head and smiled secretly, he was defensive against everyone, but not for children, who would have thought that today he was deceived by a child. But this will not affect him, the demon hunter only finds it interesting.

Baron Fitznet seems to have digested the news that Rann had brought and accepted that he had been politically abandoned by King Verdon, or perhaps he had expected it. Now that I have confirmed it, I have a sense of ease that the stone has landed in my heart.

“Demon hunter. As Faith Knight tried to join the chat, he felt he needed to say something to ease his mood, “This kid is meeting a demon hunter for the first time, and that’s not the case in our time. Nowadays, there are not many demon hunters, and you may not see one in your lifetime. ”

Ciri seemed a little dissatisfied with Fisnet interjecting into their conversation, and after glancing at the injured baron, he remembered something interesting.

“Lan, did you know that Fisnet was cursed by witches to turn into cormorants, the kind of cormorants who like to eat fish! It was Geralt who turned him back into a human. ”

Lane touched Ciri’s head and replied, “I heard this story in the tavern. Baron Fitznate of Wiedon, but the story says that he became a swan and ten brothers, and it was her sister’s sweater that turned them all back into people, and this version seems more romantic…”

“Hell romance, hell story! Fisnet was very dissatisfied with the adaptation of the story: “Ten brothers, plus my sister and me, then didn’t my mother give birth to twelve?” Did those gossip treat my mom like a rabbit? ”

Both the Demon Hunter and Ciri laughed happily.

Fisnet cursed here. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two figures walking into the cabin, and immediately stopped his voice.

PS: When I wrote this title today, I suddenly felt that the taste of power play was too strong… Don’t worry, the protagonist and the white wolf will not fight to death. Probably.

PS2: It would be fun if there was a deer school.
