Chapter 694

~7 min read 1,338 words

Lonely Mountain, in the dark bunker.

Chains were constantly emitting sounds.

Firmly fixed above, Yennefer was in a suspended state.

Standing in front of Yennefer, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but rub his chin and say, "Tsk tsk tsk, truly unexpected, you actually possess elven blood? But compared to the elves I've seen, you are truly ugly!"

"Bastard, shut your mouth, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Yennefer's eyes were full of fury at this moment.

Because she simply couldn't believe that this man before her, in order to catch her, had actually ambushed so many people, and even didn't hesitate to use everyone she knew to threaten her!

"Kill me? Are you joking?"

Looking at Yennefer playfully, Zhang Cheng rubbed his head and said, "Ah, let me think, why didn't you assassinate me? Instead, you chose to use this kind of little trick? That's because you know you simply can't defeat me, right?"

Revealing a playful expression, Zhang Cheng came to the chair behind and sat down, then said coldly, "I can destroy Thanedd Island, which means I can kill all the sorcerers, and your power to me is simply not worth mentioning!"

Looking at Yennefer, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but mock, "As your mentor, Tissaia was much stronger back then, because even though she was controlled by blood magic, she still passed a message to everyone when I was distracted—the fact that she was controlled. But it was too late; she was eventually buried by me on Thanedd Island... Are you helping her take revenge?"

Grinning, Zhang Cheng laughed loudly.

"Bastard, I want to kill you!"

Struggling angrily, the chains on Yennefer's hands shook even more.

However, looking at Yennefer's appearance, Zhang Cheng sneered, "Do you know why I don't kill you now? You must not think it's because I'm soft-hearted; that's because I sent people to find your mother. I will tear her throat out with my own hands in front of you, and your foster daughter—by the way, do you have one? Because sorceresses can't have children, oh!"

"Shut up, shut up, you damn thing..."

Reaching out frantically, Yennefer seemed to want to grab Zhang Cheng, but under the sturdy iron chains, she simply couldn't get close to the opponent.

And under the suppression of the blood magic, the magic power on Yennefer's body was almost completely restricted.

Watching Yennefer roar, Zhang Cheng felt very happy, then stood up and walked outside, saying, "You made me have nightmares, so I will let you watch with your own eyes how nightmares are born..."

"Remember to thank me for the rest of your life! Because I won't kill you! Hahahaha!"

Looking at Yennefer happily, Zhang Cheng left the dungeon directly.

And outside the dungeon, there were hundreds of burly orcs responsible for guarding.

As orc soldiers, the best thing about them was strictly executing orders; whether it was charging or fighting, they could execute perfectly.

But if Zhang Cheng had any dissatisfaction, it was that there were too few smart orcs.

He only had three orc tribes in his hands now, nearly ten thousand or so. If there were more, he could push across the Northern Kingdoms!

Lonely Mountain Hall, Zhang Cheng was starting a new day when he heard someone making noise outside.

Frowning, Zhang Cheng turned his head in confusion, but saw Geralt appear.

Looking at Geralt before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Do you have something to do? My old friend, Geralt!"

"Lord Earl, I want to ask you for one thing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Geralt couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh, what is it that you are talking about? Could it be that sorceress named Yennefer?"

Teasing Geralt, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"You know?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Geralt couldn't help but be surprised.

On this continent, is there anything that the bard doesn't know?

Looking at Geralt, Zhang Cheng slowly walked backward, sat on the chair, and said, "In what capacity are you asking me? If it's as a witcher, I'm very sorry, I refuse, because you are not qualified to bargain with me."

Looking at Geralt, Zhang Cheng was currently guiding the opponent to say the answer he wanted.

"What if I come as a friend? Lord Earl!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Geralt's eyes revealed a bitter look.

Because he knew the hatred between Yennefer and Zhang Cheng.

After all, the entire Thanedd Island had been destroyed, the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, and sorcerers of all factions had suffered cruel blows.

But even so, no one dared to come for revenge, because Zhang Cheng's methods were too terrifying; if they didn't agree, he would directly physically destroy them!

And the opponent was not just an ordinary earl, but also a sorcerer proficient in blood magic.

If you can beat him, you might not be able to beat the dragon, plus thousands of Count Count Celingen soldiers; and if you can't beat him, then why come to assassinate? Isn't it just a free delivery?

So now, the sorcerers basically don't talk about the words "Count Count Celingen family" at all!

After all, who knows what they will do once they fight to their doorstep?

"If it's as a friend, I will be very happy, because since you came to find me, I should agree to a friend's request. But Yennefer assassinated me, my friend! This makes me very unhappy!"

Looking at Geralt, Zhang Cheng explained.

"State your conditions, Lord Earl, I am willing to pay everything!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Geralt knew he had to make a choice.

"She wants my life, and I want your life. Your remaining life will become a person of the Count Count Celingen family, how about it? A life for a life!"

Looking at Geralt before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but support his chin and speak.

"This?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Geralt didn't expect his request to be this.

"Do you want to refuse me? Don't forget, I hold grudges!"

Looking at Geralt, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, his face full of serious looks.

"If this can make you give up pursuing Yennefer, I am willing to hand over my remaining life to the Count Count Celingen family!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng bitterly, Geralt simply had no way to choose at this moment.

Because even if he boasted of being powerful, he wasn't stupid enough to save people at Lonely Mountain.

After all, here, apart from Zhang Cheng, there was the Lord of Blood, and the Krieg soldiers who made people feel fearful!

Geralt: If you haven't seen Krieg's fighting, you will never know how to write the word "crazy"!

Krieg: Either I kill you all, or you all kill me!

!

Zhang Cheng:.

In the night, Yennefer was recalling her past with Tissaia, and the safety of her foster daughter Ciri...

But just at this moment, the prison door outside was opened.

Looking at the person walking in, Yennefer was shocked, because it was actually Geralt.

However, looking at the armor on Geralt, Yennefer roared, "Have you betrayed me too? Geralt!"

"Release!"

Commanding the soldiers, Geralt didn't explain anything.

But the moment the shackles were unlocked, Yennefer was dumbfounded.

Looking at Yennefer, Geralt said, "Let's go, I'll send you away!"

Supported by Geralt, Yennefer walked out of Lonely Mountain Castle and was sent by him to a place far away from the magic restriction.

"Could it be that you..."

Looking at Geralt in disbelief, Yennefer covered her mouth in astonishment.

"I traded myself for your freedom!"

Looking at Yennefer with a smile, Geralt said dashingly, "Fortunately, I knew Earl Count Count Celingen before, otherwise you would be in trouble. Go, take care of Ciri..."

Patting Yennefer's shoulder, Geralt laughed.

"Come with me, I beg you!"

Looking at Geralt, Yennefer couldn't help but speak up.

"I can't leave!"

Looking at the soldiers behind, Geralt mounted his horse, waving his hand with a smile, "Goodbye!"
