Chapter 289

After listening to this news, Geralt didn't show too much surprise.

Just like in the plot he recalled, even the heroes who save the world will be affected by the power of the demon god and fall into a new demon king, let alone just a member of the Supreme Council, which is not surprising at all.

The only thing to be glad about is that Francesca, as a member of the Supreme Council, because of the racial conflict between the two sides, did not participate in the Kaedwen kingdom incident this time, so she is definitely safe.

And among the remaining few supreme councilors, besides Tissaia, the former headmistress of the Aretuza Magic Academy, the legendary Vilgefortz is also one of the members.

As for the remaining two, Geralt didn't even know their names, and of course, he didn't care about their life or death at all.

"So, Margarita, what do you plan to do next?"

Geralt looked at Margarita and asked:

"Have you discussed it with Keira and the others?"

"Are you preparing to terminate this commission, return to a safe location, or continue this commission?"

Margarita shook her head upon hearing this, but still said with a firm tone:

"Regardless of whether Keira is willing to terminate this commission, I must leave and bring this news to the Sorcerers Brotherhood and to the Supreme Council."

"This matter is not only related to the safety within the Sorcerers Brotherhood, but also a major event related to the entire North and even the entire world, so it must be taken seriously."

Geralt nodded upon hearing this. Although the other party looks frivolous and a bit like a nymphomaniac, as the current headmistress of Aretuza, Margarita's status in the spellcaster circle is still very high.

While respecting and enjoying benefits, it also means that she must take on more responsibilities than ordinary sorcerers.

Just when the two were talking, Keira, whose face was a bit pale, also walked over. Because of the magic backlash just now, plus the forced casting of spells in the subsequent battle, she and Kalkstein both suffered some internal injuries. Although it was not serious, the spirit and flesh were inevitably quite painful.

"I have already heard your conversation just now, Geralt."

Before getting close, Keira said while walking over: "Regarding this matter, I will follow everyone's opinions. I cannot force everyone to execute such a dangerous task. Compared with life, no status is useful."

Geralt nodded upon hearing this. Without thinking, Kalkstein, that guy, must be thinking about leaving early. Now that Keira, as the employer, has made a decision, then he, as a bodyguard, of course, will not have any other ideas.

This news was passed to the team, and the remaining few mercenaries and Kalkstein were very happy. Finally, they could leave this ghost place.

And Letho and the three who followed Geralt definitely had no opinion. Although they are witchers who trade their lives for money, no one likes this kind of dangerous place.

Soon, after reaching a consensus, this team embarked on the return journey. During the whole process, no one had any ideas about the space teleportation ability displayed by Geralt and the props that could summon undead creatures.

Although they must have doubts in their hearts, as people who have a close relationship with Geralt, they will not question his secrets at this time.

And like Kalkstein and those few mercenaries, it is because they don't have the courage to explore a person's secrets in such a dangerous environment. This is a behavior of looking for death, and normal people will not make this mistake.

Perhaps it was because the strength shown by Geralt and others was strong enough, the return journey was quite smooth, and they didn't encounter other fallen armies, just occasionally encountered some undead creatures and mutated monsters.

Along the route they came, after walking for a day towards the small town where the Sorcerers Brotherhood was stationed.

Geralt and others suddenly heard the sound of running and calls for help, as well as the neighing of horses in a wilderness.

Regarding such an encounter, Kalkstein immediately stated that they are currently very dangerous themselves and should not be nosy.

This idea immediately received the approval of the mercenaries. From more than a hundred people to only five or six left now, if it weren't for the fact that Kalkstein is a sorcerer and Geralt, such a strong person, is following him, they might have killed the employer long ago to vent their hatred.

With the relatively ordinary moral level of mercenaries, it is not enough to support them to risk their lives to rescue others, so they are not willing to be nosy.

Keira hesitated. As a self-interested sorceress, she also didn't approve of helping others when she was in danger herself.

It was Margarita, the oldest and longest-lived among the group, who still maintained a kind heart. This female headmistress had a serious expression, looked at Geralt, and said with a little pleading in her tone: "Perhaps we should go over and take a look, Geralt."

"Maybe the other party is also a sorcerer, or even our acquaintance. If we save them, our subsequent itinerary will also become much safer."

Geralt also had the idea of rescue in his heart. Actually, if it weren't for the need to protect other members, this mist was not dangerous to him.

Whether it is fallen ones or undead, or other mutated monsters, even if the number is large, if they cannot break through head-on, with his Elder Blood ability, wanting to leave is easy.

Looking at the inquiring eyes of everyone, Geralt pondered for a second in his heart, and then said: "I'll go take a look alone, you guys stay vigilant here, I'll come find you soon."

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Geralt followed the direction of the sound, while hiding his figure, while moving forward quickly.

Soon, after moving forward for about only a hundred meters, a picture that surprised him very much appeared before his eyes.

I saw that at a distance of a hundred meters away from him, Dandelion, wearing a quite conspicuous leather armor, was riding on a tall black warhorse, running and calling for help.

And behind him, Geralt, covered in blood and with a few arrows stuck in his body, seemed to have fallen into a coma, lying on the back of the warhorse motionless.

They seemed to have been running for a period of time. Dandelion's face was full of fear, and the warhorse he was sitting on was panting, and the running movement was also a bit slow, looking like it could fall down at any time.

After seeing these two people, Geralt didn't hesitate at all, and immediately blinked, appearing in front of Dandelion.

Before he and Dandelion could communicate, another burst of galloping horses sounded from behind the bard far away.

Listening to the number of sounds, there were also about ten knights chasing them.

Facing Geralt, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Dandelion was startled first, almost fell off the horse, and then immediately pulled the warhorse and shouted excitedly:

"Geralt, you came just in time, come save us quickly."

"Geralt is seriously injured, he is about to die, and we still have people chasing us behind."

Geralt was startled in his heart, didn't think much, immediately took out a strong healing potion from the space bracelet, and walked quickly to Geralt's side.

At this time, the White Wolf's face was very pale, and the Master-level Wolf School armor on his body was damaged in many places, and blood was slowly flowing out. Obviously, he was injured in many places, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Perhaps it was because it was too hurried when escaping, the weapons on his body had disappeared, and only the weak breathing at the nose showed that Geralt was still alive.

Seeing this situation, a trace of anger flashed in Geralt's eyes. Geralt can be said to be one of the witcher brothers he has the best relationship with in this world besides Vesemir. It is not an exaggeration to call it a life-and-death friendship.

Now that he is in a state of almost dying, how can he not be angry? He first took out a holy light scroll from the bracelet, used a holy light spell on Geralt's body, dispelled the erosion of evil power in the White Wolf's body, and also hung his life.

Then he pried open Geralt's mouth with his hand and poured that bottle of strong healing potion into it.

After doing all this, Geralt took out a large bag of treatment tools from his waist bag, threw it to Dandelion who had gotten off the horse, and then drew the Statikk Shiv from his waist, looking at the direction the horse hoof sound came from.

"You bandage Geralt first, leave the enemy to me to deal with."

With his voice falling, a total of about ten fully armed fallen knights rushed out from the mist.

Facing the mouse that was no longer running away in front and Geralt, the enemy who suddenly appeared, these fallen knights first let out a burst of arrogant laughter, and then rushed over without any language, seemingly preparing to finish off Geralt and Geralt together.

Geralt was angry in his heart, and couldn't wait for those knights to rush in front of him, so he blinked and appeared behind a fallen knight.

The Statikk Shiv in his hand flashed with dazzling electric light and slashed at that knight.

The light of the chain lightning was quite dazzling in the thick fog, and the screams of the fallen knights were quite ear-piercing.

A few minutes later, accompanied by the last shrill scream, those ten fallen knights were all killed by Geralt using the blink ability one by one, becoming headless corpses on the ground, and the fishy blood dyed his armor red, but these killings still couldn't calm his anger.

He frowned, walked to Geralt's side with the smell of blood, squatted down, carefully checked Geralt's wounds, and helped him pull out the arrows on his body.

At this time, Dandelion had already stripped Geralt's upper clothes and was bandaging him with quite skilled techniques, his face still carrying the celebration of surviving the disaster.

"What happened? How did it become like this?"

Before Dandelion could answer, it seemed because he heard Geralt's voice, Geralt suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed Geralt's palm hard, opened his somewhat distracted eyes, looking at Geralt, and also not looking at him, his voice was weak and said:

"Geralt, go save Yennefer quickly, she was caught by the enemy."

"I beg you, save her back."
