And, most importantly, he learned from Keira that her mission to Skellige with Triss was to find the missing Ciri.

This news reminded Lu Qi of the [World Mission] that he had temporarily forgotten in the corner of his mind.

Ciri, who possesses the blood of the ancients, is like a piece of sweet pastry outside, coveted by countless ambitious people, eyeing him covetously.

Now is not the time to study magic leisurely!

Thinking of this, Lu Qi also bid farewell to the comfortable Monte Calvo while Kaila and Triss were leaving.

His destination is uncertain.

However, he knew where he was going.

In this medieval magical world where there is no phone to contact and travel is by riding a horse, finding Ciri is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Qi could only ride his horse, follow the rumors in the wind, go to every city's taverns, markets and other places where people gather, inquire about news, and follow up unconfirmed information.

However, he thought of a better way, that is to find "White Wolf" Geralt first, and then use him to find Ciri!

Lu Qi knew very well that Geralt and Ciri had a fateful bond, and this extremely powerful bond would eventually lead them to meet each other.

And what he has to do is to help the two reunite as soon as possible!

. . .

According to the news that Triss got from Brokilon's dryad, the demon hunter took Dandelion and left the forest after recovering from his injuries.

Needless to say, the witcher's purpose? Same as himself? It's the missing silver-haired girl.

And the direction the witcher left was south.

Although he doesn't know where Geralt is going? But? Lu Qi knows that as long as he goes all the way south, he will always find the sorceress pile driver with two swords on his back.

Who made his features so distinct?

Starting from Monte Calvo? He rode a horse? Riding on the wind, he came all the way to the border between Redania and Temeria, that is, when the Ponta River traverses the northern countries, he entered a nearby village called " Lynch's town? Going to fix it up.

Even if Redania's political situation is unstable? Di Fat's spies are hunting Scoia'tael and Nilfgaardian spies all over the country.Moreover, the Northern War on the lower reaches of the Ponta River is in full swing.

But this remote town, far away from the storm, did not receive much impact.

The plainly dressed farmers are still working hard as usual? The voices of vendors in the market are still so loud.

It wasn't until he walked into the tavern in the town? The dusty Lu Qi felt a little tension in the air.

At a glance, the tavern is not yet in the evening? It is almost full of people.

In addition to some mercenaries wearing various armors and carrying weapons? There are tattoos all over their bodies? Rogue thugs with short knives and nail sticks hidden in their waists.

The noise? Mixed with a faint smell of sweat, filling the entire dim space.

Wearing a black cloak and a long sword around his waist, Lu Qi, who looked like a stranger should not enter, did not attract much attention.

"Bring me some broth and bread, and by the way feed my horse some good grain, he likes turnips."

"Ok."

After explaining his request to the proprietress, he walked to an empty table in the corner.

As soon as he sat down, Lu Qi heard the mercenary at the next table curse loudly in an indignant tone:

"Damn Nilfgaardians! Those sons of bitches used such indecent and shameless methods to assassinate our king!"

"Why don't those nobles in the court send troops to kill those southerners? If they don't have eggs, I can lend him one!"

This speech was obviously approved by the companions, and they all laughed out loud:

"a ha ha ha"

From these few words, Lu Qi could hear that the Redanians seemed to believe that the king's death must have something to do with the Nilfgaardians.

However, in his opinion, the ambitious Philippa who launched the coup on Shaned Island is even more suspicious.

From the point of view of interests, who has benefited the most after Vermizil II was assassinated?

Is it Nilfgaard, which is so powerful that it can almost overwhelm the entire northern countries, or has it transformed itself into a royal advisor to one of the regents of Redania?

The answer is self-evident.

"Hey, keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of being caught in prison by those spies everywhere, and then sent to the gallows?"

"What are you afraid of? I haven't committed a crime."

Although he was still tough, his tone of voice had dropped significantly.

"Fry, you are so brave, why don't you kill the griffin, and you can get a generous bounty of five hundred crowns."

"Fuck you, Rocco! I'd rather fight the Nilfgaardians and shed my blood on the battlefield than deal with that kind of monster."

"You haven't seen it, my relative's nephew is the groom of the caravan attacked by the griffin. He was at the scene when the griffin attacked the caravan."

"According to his description, the griffin swooped down suddenly, and with just a light stroke of its claws, a caravan guard was disembowelled, and the intestines and blood were shot out together. There was also a guard whose entire head flew up. "

"You're talking nonsense! Griffins are so ferocious, why did your relative's nephew come back alive?" a companion questioned.

"Why did I lie to you? Those corpses are still lying in the cemetery, waiting for someone to claim them. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. My relative's nephew said that he might be hiding under the carriage. The griffin didn't see him, so it grabbed a horse and flew away."

"The whole caravan of seven or eight people, in the end he escaped alone. The poor boy was scared to death, and when he came back, there was no blood on his face."

"According to me, no fool would accept the subjugation commission issued by the mayor. Although the bounty is very attractive, it is not worth losing your life for it."

Listening to the story about the griffin with relish, Lu Qi couldn't help but recall the first boss he encountered when playing "The Witcher [-]: Wild Hunt".

At this time, the tavern maid held a wooden tray and put a steaming broth and bread on the table.

"Please enjoy"

Just when she was about to leave, the maid heard a magnetic voice next to her ear:

"Excuse me, how do I get to the mayor's house?"

Chapter 534 The Griffin Is Super Handsome, I Want To Ride [Subscribe! 】

After staying for half an hour, Lu Qi, who had filled his stomach and collected information, left the noisy tavern.

To Lu Qi's disappointment, apart from the situation of the war and news of the appearance of griffins, he didn't hear a single word about the white-haired witcher.

The situation of the war is extremely unfavorable to the northern countries.

After more than ten days of brief peace, the Nilfgaardians, whose offensive on the eastern front was extremely smooth, immediately tore up the peace treaty with Temeria, crossed the Yaruga River, and invaded the land that depended on Temeria. Leah's vassal kingdom - Brugge!

Obviously, Nilfgaard sent envoys to Temeria before, but it was just a tactic to slow down the troops and hold back the main force of Temeria, so that they would not support Aden and Livia.

Now that Livia, Leiria, and Aden have been defeated, the Nilfgaardians will naturally look for their next target.

And standing in front of the Black Legion is of course Temeria, the great northern country!

The people of Nilfgaard are not guilty of Temeria at all, and directly attacking Temeria's younger brother's house without saying a word is a proof that does not need too much explanation!

I don't know whether King Foltest of Temeria watched his younger brother be beaten to death this time, or sent troops to resist Nilfgaard in anger.

However, for Lu Qi, fighting or not fighting has little to do with him for the time being.

He once thought that if he wanted to prevent Hoarfrost from coming, he had to ensure Ciri's safety first.

And there are too many forces coveting Ciri:

The Coven of the Sorceresses, Emperor Nilfgaard, Vigfortez, King of the Wild Hunt

Especially for the Wild Hunt, once Ciri, who possesses the ancient blood, falls into the hands of the Wild Hunt, the elves of another world can open the gates of all worlds again, allowing the elves army to invade the wizarding world.

As for Emhyr, it's okay.

After all, they are father and daughter, if Xili is willing to forgive her father, power and status will be at her fingertips.

However, Lu Qi dared to be 100% sure that Xili would definitely not like this arrangement.

Therefore, the Nilfgaardians were also included in Lu Qi's potential hostile list.

A person, no matter how strong he is, has limits.

Even Wesker, who is almost invincible in the "Resident Evil" game, knows how to find allies and form forces to fulfill his ambitions.

What's more, Lu Qi who has experienced several game worlds? !

He had already figured out that while looking for Ciri, he must develop his power as much as possible until he had a power strong enough to counter the Wild Hunt army and even the Nilfgaardian Empire.

Only in this way can he properly protect Ciri and let her complete her mission at the right time with peace of mind.

Considering the backwardness of communication technology in this world? To expand your reputation and influence, and form an intelligence organization, you can find Ciri better, instead of being like Geralt? Follow various rumors or news? Run around the world, everywhere try to find.

In the context of the Northern War, if you want to quickly accumulate prestige and wealth, and thus form a force, making contributions on the battlefield is a good choice.

As long as he joins the northern countries or any side of Nilfgaard? Lu Qi is sure. With his super combat power and hundreds of years of experience in special operations, he can help his side win a partial victory in the war.

As for commanding the army? He scolded Fang Qiu, but he was not so confident. He believed that he could command tens of thousands of legions to fight.

What's more? In the context of medieval aristocratic politics, it was impossible for him, as a ranger, to gain the trust of the king and nobles in a short period of time and gain the command of the large army.

From the very beginning, Lu Qi never thought of taking a neutral position in this Northern War.

In a war that affects the future of the entire continent, it is disgusting and the most stupid behavior to remain neutral.

Judging the situation and joining the party that will win in the end is the kingly way!

Judging from the current situation of this war, the Nilfgaardians seem to have completely gained the upper hand. As long as they defeat the northern countries with their own minds one by one, they can unify the entire continent.

However, under this situation, if Lu Qi joined the Nilfgaardian Empire, it would be just icing on the cake at best, and he would not gain much power after the war.

The most important point is that if he finds Ciri by then, Emperor Emhyr of Nilfgaard orders him to hand over Ciri. As a subject, should he hand it over or not?

After handing over, will Ciri be obedient and become her Nilfgaardian princess?Or use his ancient blood to escape from the dull and boring palace, escape from this world, and then let Hoarfrost destroy the whole world?

The ending is self-evident.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lu Qi has made a decision in his heart.

After all, icing on the cake is never as important as sending charcoal in the snow, isn't it?

. . .

While thinking about how to join the northern camp, Lu Qi stepped on the stone road and came to a tall and majestic building in the center of the town.

Seeing the town soldiers guarding both sides of the gate of the building, Lu Qi paused, then stepped up.

"Good afternoon, I'm here to find the mayor."

"The mayor is very busy, what can you do?"

"I heard that the mayor issued a commission to hunt down the griffins, and I'm here to accept that commission!"

Of course, the reason why Lu Qi suddenly went to hunt down the griffins was not just for the five hundred crowns.

Although this is indeed a very attractive reward, it can even allow him to make a silver-plated long sword with a meteorite core, or let him hire mercenaries to initially form his own forces.However, he definitely didn't face the ferocious griffin for money.

Speaking of which, when he was playing "The Witcher [-]: Wild Hunt", the first boss he faced, which was the Griffon in Novice Village, left a deep impression on him.

When facing Griffin, like many players, he asked the game a thought-provoking question:

"Damn it! This griffin is super handsome, can you grab it and use it as a flying mount?!"

It's a pity that the game only gives one option, and that is to kill it.

Isn't it a sandbox game with a high degree of freedom? You can't even catch a griffin as a mount. Polish donkey, look at the "Ark xxxx" next door and learn from it!

Of course, the game belongs to the game. At that time, Lu Qi just scolded the game designer for his bad writing, and there was no good way.

However, now that he has personally traveled to the world in "The Witcher", it is rare to meet a griffin. If he doesn't try this tempting idea, he feels that he will definitely regret it in the future!

In addition, Lu Qi also wanted to test his current magic level and gain some experience in actual magic combat.

After all, compared to bandits and Scoia'tael, fighting against powerful monsters is obviously more valuable for training

Chapter 535 Receiving the Commission and Surveying the Site

Hearing that Lu Qi was here to accept the commission to hunt down the griffins, the two soldiers holding halberds were taken aback for a moment, and then looked Lu Qi up and down.

With a tall and straight figure, a handsome appearance, and deep eyes, the black-haired man in front of him is more like a bard who is promiscuous than a warrior.

In front of Lu Qi, a soldier muttered in a low voice: "There are people who are not afraid of death."

Regarding this, Lu Qi's expression was indifferent, he just glanced at the soldier with a bad mouth, and didn't speak.

Another slightly older soldier, without being too rude, just said in a deep voice:
