As for the requirement of [World Mission], there is only one somewhat mysterious sentence:

"Stop the hoarfrost!"

Lu Qi, who has been in the wizarding world for several months and has a preliminary understanding of the whole world, immediately thought of an almost well-known doomsday prophecy that was circulated in the wizarding world when he saw this mission request:

"Be aware that the time of sword and ax is at hand, the age of the cold wolf and snow. The time of hoarfrost and white light is coming, the age of madness and contempt, the age of the end. The world shall die in frost, and Reborn under a new sun. That is also the time when the blood of the ancients - the sown seed is born again. This seed will not sprout, but will ignite a flame." - Prophecy of Islin.

In short, there is an unknown substance called "Hoarfrost", which will invade the wizarding world in the near future and turn the whole world into a vast expanse of white ice and snow.

The only thing that can stop the coming of hoarfrost is the blood of the ancients.

And according to the background story of the game he came into contact with when playing the game, this world has the existence of ancient blood, and there is only one, that is Princess Sintra, the biological daughter of Emperor Nilfgaard, and the adopted daughter of "White Wolf"— — Ciri!

In other words, if he wants to complete the [World Quest], he must protect Ciri, and then help her prevent Hoarfrost from destroying the entire world!

Since Dijkstra can grasp Ciri's whereabouts, it is very likely that other forces that want Ciri also know that Ciri is on the island.

Ciri's disappearance is obviously a signal: she is in danger!

And the only person who can find Ciri in the first place is the demon hunter who is related to his fate!

Hearing Lu Qi's proposal, Geralt thought he was concerned about Keira's safety and wanted to go back to save others, so he nodded, and then drew out his steel sword:

"Let's go then!"

Chapter 515 No Bloodless Coup

In the banquet hall of Arethusa Palace, it was quiet, and the hustle and bustle of not long ago had long been lost.

Geralt and Lu Qi did not immediately go to the Gastang Palace located at the highest point in the center of the island, but returned to the side hall of Arethusa Palace first.

The whole palace was like a labyrinth, and it took some effort for the witcher to find the room where he spent a good night with Yennefer last night.

After confirming that Yennefer was no longer in the room, Geralt set his next target at Gastang Palace.

But here comes the problem.

Whether it is Geralt or Lu Qi, it is the first time to come to Shaned Island, and they don't know how to get to Gastang Palace!

Just as the two walked out of the room and came to the corridor, Geralt spotted a sobbing figure sitting by the window sill.

Hearing footsteps, the figure slowly raised his head.

Both Geralt and Lu Qi recognized that the woman whose face was wet with tears was the sorceress Marty Sodergren sent to heal the oldest member of the Wizarding Order.

"Erhart died of a heart attack and there was nothing I could do. Why didn't they call me sooner? Sabina slapped me. Why? What the hell happened?"

Ignoring the mutterings of the sorceress, the witcher only cared about one thing:

"See Yennefer?"

"No, don't bother me, let me be alone for a while."

For this kind female sorceress who couldn't be cured, Lu Qi had a good impression. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said to her with a serious face:

"Mattie, things are serious now. There should be a coup d'état on the island. You'd better get out of here quickly!"

"Before that, tell us the shortest route to Garstang Palace, please!"

. . .

Arethusa Palace continues to go up, and there are three terraces full of shrubs.Higher up is a steep hillside, almost impossible to climb.

The Gastang Palace stands on this cliff, rooted on a flat boulder.

The road leading to Garstang Palace, like a long snake, winds up the hillside.However, in addition to this section of the road, there is a section of stairs directly connected to the tunnel below the palace.

And the shortest route that Marty pointed out to them was this staircase.

Out of the tunnel, in front of a stone bridge? The small statues on the railings on both sides of the bridge? It looks lifelike.

However, with the badge hanging around his neck? A violent tremor? Both Geralt and Lu Qi noticed that the statue was constantly changing.

From exquisite stone carvings to shapeless rough stones.

Seeing this? The demon hunter couldn't help blinking the orange cat eyes, and reminded: "We have to hurry up? The illusion on the island is weakening."

Even part of the bridge? Is made of illusion.

In order not to fall into the deep valley under the bridge, Lu Qi didn't hide his clumsiness any more, and directly activated [Hawkeye Vision]!

When the eyes turned into a burst of whiteness, the phantoms and visions in front of him suddenly became clear at a glance.

Are you kidding me? Hawkeye is an assassin skill that allows Altaïr to see through the illusion constructed by the artifact of Eden. This little magical illusion is nothing at all!

"Come with me!"

Under the leadership of Lu Qi, the two successfully passed the bridge full of holes.

Just after crossing the bridge, there was a rush of footsteps?

A male sorcerer ran towards him with a full expression on his face.

"Dorrigare!"

Geralt recognized the person? It was King Cidaris' advisor, Dorrigare, who was keen on protecting rare animals.

"Geralt?! What are you doing here? Run? Go back to Arethusa Palace, no! Get off the island!"

"what's the situation?"

"Rebellion!"

"what?!"

Before the words were finished? A "swoosh" sound came towards the back of the male warlock.

Between lightning and flint? Lu Qi, who was standing aside, sharpened his eyes, moved his feet lightly, and pulled out the long sword at his waist with a "clank"!

With a flash of cold light, a sharp arrow that pierced through the air was cut in two!

In the next second, the second sharp arrow struck.

With [Eagle Eye Vision] turned on, Lu Qi has already spotted the two archers not far ahead and the squirrel tails on their furs.

This is exactly the same as the outfits of the attackers he encountered in the forest on the way to escort Keira!

The identity of the visitor is ready to be revealed.

Swinging the arrow away casually, Lu Qi did not forget to remind:

"It's Scoia'tael!"

Following Lu Qi's shout, the demon hunter, who was half a beat behind, also drew his steel sword and rushed towards the archer.

It was just a smooth turn around, dodging the oncoming arrows, the blade slid across the elf's throat, and a line of blood appeared.

Seeing this, standing at the top of the ladder, the only remaining archer was about to draw his bow and arrow, but was hit by a flash of light in the chest instantly, and fell backwards screaming.

It turned out that Dorrigalei, who had reacted, cast lightning magic in time to kill him.

Temporarily repulsed, before the two asked Dorrigalei about the situation in the palace, another warlock ran down the stairs.

Seeing the person coming, Dorrigaray couldn't help showing a surprised expression:

"Great, Carduin, you're alive!"

As soon as the words were finished, the three of them saw behind the warlock, several elves, Scoia'tael, chasing after him.

However, the temporary team already had two mages and two fighters, and easily killed the elves above.

After temporarily solving the pursuit, the two warlocks were able to stop, put their hands on their knees, and panted heavily.

"Thank Goddess, may all those elf villains go to hell!"

Looking at the two warlocks who were sweating profusely, Lu Qi couldn't help asking:

"What the hell happened up there?"

"There's a fight at Garstang House! Everyone's fighting for what they stand for. What a mess!"

"Philippa put Vigfortz in chains, Vigfortz and Francesca brought Scoia'tael to the island! And Tissaia, she's a fool!"

"Speak clearly!"

"I don't want to stay here and chat! I have to flee to Lorsha and teleport back to Kevil. Let them keep calling, it's useless to say anything now!"

"That bitch Philippa created this mess just to give the kings an excuse to make war on the Nilfgaardians! Mivi of Rivia and Demavi of Aden have already provoked Nilfgaard Germans, do you understand?!"

Under the explanation of the two, Geralt and Lu Qi, who were out of the situation, got a general idea of ​​what happened in Gastang Palace.

In short, when Philippa and his group of Warlocks from the North were trying traitors such as Vigfortez and Francesca, Tishaya, a neutral faction, suddenly came into contact with the magic seal of Gastang Palace. By the way, Vigfortz and Francesca were also released.

The latter released the Scoia'tael who had been hiding in the palace cave for a long time!

Next, this coup d'état officially entered the stage of fighting each other and becoming chaotic!

After listening, Lu Qi couldn't help feeling sorry for the northern warlocks led by Philipa, but also a little helpless.

He had already guessed that things would not be so easy.

In a coup d'état that is ready to go, the vacillating neutral faction should be dealt with first!

If he were Philippa, after catching traitors like Wigfortz, he would definitely temporarily imprison Tishaya, who was an unstable factor, and then produce conclusive evidence to accuse the traitors. Finally, kill the traitor on the spot!

Throughout the ages, any successful coup d'état is a time difference!

However, it is actually normal for this situation to happen now.

After all, warlocks have no experience in this kind of thing, coupled with the fact that they underestimate the enemy and care about the prestige of the neutral faction, failure seems to be an inevitable result.

Not to mention, there has never been a coup that succeeded without bloodshed

Chapter 516 A Sorcerer Falls from the World

??

After explaining the situation, the two male sorceresses who had survived the fight at Garstanga Palace and the hunt of the Scoia'tael planned to leave this chaotic island.

Since Garstang Palace is located in the center of the island, near the "Thor Laura" Seagull Tower on the top of the mountain, there is an extremely unstable portal on the top of the tower.Therefore, the two warlocks who were afraid of being involved in the turbulence of space did not choose to teleport magic, but returned from the tunnel where Lu Qi and Geralt came from.

Before leaving, Dorrigalei, who was saved by Lu Qi, did not forget to express his gratitude to him.

After bidding farewell to the two, Lu Qi and Geralt couldn't help speeding up their pace and rushed towards the Gastang Palace, the center of the chaotic vortex.

Just when the two arrived under the palace wall, the explosion sounded again!

All of a sudden, with a crackling sound, the stained glass windows of the palace suddenly burst.

Immediately afterwards, the palace ignited a raging fire, and smoke billowed from the windows.

When Lu Qi and Geralt looked left and right, trying to find the entrance, a sudden change occurred!

"what!"

Accompanied by a panicked female voice, a petite figure flew out from the shattered window and smashed directly at Lu Qi below.

Seeing this, Lu Qi subconsciously stretched out his hands, hugged the figure, rolled forward, and rolled into the grass together with him.

At this time, he finally saw the face of the figure in his arms, Lu Qi couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Kayla, even if you are happy to see me, you don't have to be so enthusiastic?"

"Alex?! Why are you here?"

At this time, the sorceress no longer had the coquettish style she had when she was in the room, but her clothes were messy, her whole body and face were dirty, and there was an obvious bruise on her face.

"I came to join in the fun? What's the matter with you?"

While talking? As soon as he helped Keira up, he heard the sorceress gasp. He whispered, "Hiss! My ribs seem to be broken."

"Also, I lost a tooth."

Listening to Keira's inarticulate words? Lu Qi resisted the urge to laugh, and hugged the sorceress' waist? He put her in his arms:

"At least you don't have your head stuck in a brick can you walk?"

"should be possible"

Before the words were finished? Keira opened her mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood foam.

Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but wrinkle his eyes, and immediately reached out his hands to her ribs on both sides? Gently pressed.

This move? Keira cried out in pain: "Ah! It's not allowed there! What are you doing!"
