Ding! Task triggered 【Save Yennefer】 Master-level.

Do you accept?

Facing such a request from his good brother Geralt, looking at his eyes that were trying to support his spirit but were still distracted, Geralt really couldn't say the words of refusal.

He nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Geralt, I will bring Yennefer back."

"You have to rest well and don't force yourself."

It seemed that he heard Geralt's answer, and Geralt was relieved and fainted again.

His injuries were too heavy. It is estimated that in order to protect Yennefer, he was too desperate in the previous battle. Not only were there multiple knife wounds stabbed by weapons on his body, but even on his neck and face, there were two more wounds.

If it weren't for meeting Geralt, in terms of medical skills in this world, the White Wolf would definitely be dead.

However, even with the strong healing potion from the Azeroth world to hang his life, Geralt's injuries were still very serious. Internal organs, bones, and even the nerves in his body were damaged in many places. It must be carefully treated by a skilled doctor for a long period of time before it is possible to recover. Otherwise, even if saved, it will probably become a useless person.

A few minutes later, when Geralt carried Geralt on his back and brought Dandelion back to Keira and the others, the news brought back by the bard made the expressions of the two sorceresses even more heavy and shocked.

"Yennefer and Lady Sheala were also caught by those fallen ones?"

"How could this be?"

"It seems that this bounty competition is really likely to be a trap."

"Otherwise, the fallen ones eroded by another world could not concentrate the elite sorcerers separated in various parts of the North in such a short time, and let them take the initiative to enter the dangerous mist."

"However, if it's just to understand the intelligence of this world, they don't need to go to such trouble. Catching so many sorcerers, there must be other conspiracies we don't know."

Margarita was full of heaviness, worrying about those captured sorcerers.

Even Yennefer and Sheala belong to the existence with relatively strong strength among all sorceresses.

Even they were caught. Other sorcerers with weaker strength, it is highly probable that as long as their whereabouts are caught, it is also difficult to escape the fate of being captured.

Keira felt a sense of sympathy. She could imagine that if it weren't for Geralt, this powerful witcher, protecting her this time, if she also hired those ordinary mercenaries this time, perhaps among the captured sorcerers, there would be Margarita and the three of them.

However, compared to the discussion of Keira and others about this conspiracy, Geralt's mind was not on this. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. This kind of thing related to the safety of the world is not Geralt's turn, a witcher, to worry about.

Just now, he had learned from Dandelion's mouth that Yennefer was caught by a group of more than one hundred fallen ones in a wilderness about ten kilometers away about two hours ago. The fifty or so mercenaries hired by her and Sheala had all been killed.

The other party also had a fallen sorcerer. Relying on many fearless cannon fodder, they successfully resolved the magic spells of Yennefer and Sheala and easily defeated their troops.

Even if Geralt resisted desperately, wanting to save Yennefer, he couldn't stop all of this.

If it weren't for Dandelion being smart enough, taking the opportunity to ride a warhorse of a fallen knight who died in battle, and rushing out of the crowd with the White Wolf.

It is possible that their group was completely wiped out in that battle.

However, now, the reality forced Geralt into a dilemma. On one hand, he promised Geralt to save Yennefer, and must set off quickly before the other party has gone far and can find the traces of the other party's main force.

But on the other hand, now Keira, Margarita, and a group of people are all in the mist, and there are fallen ones wanting to catch sorcerers everywhere. If he leaves rashly, it is undoubtedly putting Keira and others in a very dangerous environment.

He couldn't do such a thing.

In the mist, there is energy isolation from another world. Whether it is a portal or flight, it cannot be cast. Wanting to leave here can only rely on two legs to walk.

Calculated from the current distance, it will take at least a day for them to get out of the mist and go to a safe place.

After considering for a few minutes, Geralt used an excuse to leave Keira and others and came to a place that was not easily noticed.

He looked at the Ranni doll floating beside him, holding Kael'thas's magic book and reading it seriously, and asked tentatively: "Ranni, can you protect my friends for a day?"

"Protect them safely out of the mist."

Hearing Geralt's inquiry, Ranni's doll appeared from mid-air, tilted her head, and asked with a confused tone:

"Are they also your friends? Have you concluded a contract of never betraying with them?"

Seeing the Moon Princess struggling with this question, Geralt hurriedly explained:

"No, don't misunderstand."

"The friend relationship I mentioned to you is different from them."

"The relationship between the two of us will last for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even forever, but they are just mortals, destined to have only a short encounter with me."

"I just want to fulfill a friend's obligation and help them within my ability."

"In your world, you should have also encountered that kind of existence that is relatively weak, needs protection, but you also want to get along well with them."

Ranni was silent for a few seconds upon hearing this. Her jewel-like eyes were still calm, she turned a page of the book, and said in a flat tone:

"Is that so?"

"Okay, I can help you protect them for a day."

"After they safely leave this mist full of evil power, I will come back to find you."

Seeing that Ranni, who had always been quite arrogant, didn't mention any conditions and was willing to do him this favor, Geralt felt a warmth in his heart, feeling that his efforts still had some return.

However, others can not want remuneration, but as an employer, he cannot not give it.

He still said with a grateful tone: "Thank you, Ranni. If there is a chance later, I will take you to see other worlds together."

The Moon Princess still said in a flat tone: "I don't have any plans to go to other worlds for the time being. The knowledge in this book is enough for me to study for a long time."

"However, if I have other needs in the future, I will also put them forward to you."

………………

After having Ranni's help, Geralt finally didn't have to be in a dilemma anymore and could safely go find Yennefer.

He trusted the strength of the demigod status very much. Although he didn't know what stage the current Ranni was at and whether she had mastered any Great Runes or powerful magic, just relying on her own magic talent, she was also able to easily crush most people in the Wizard World.

So, Geralt discussed with Margarita and others, and sincerely and solemnly told them that in the next day's journey, there would be a powerful mage secretly protecting them, so they didn't need to worry.

Although everyone still had doubts about the existence of this powerful mage, led by Keira, Letho, Margarita, and others, they were all willing to believe Geralt's words and expressed support for his decision.

Soon, he took the injured and unconscious Geralt and the newly joined Dandelion and set off.

After Keira and others left, Geralt didn't have time to delay, immediately rode the soul warhorse Udis, and ran towards the location marked by Dandelion on the map where the battle took place.

Must say, after getting rid of the drag of Keira and others, Geralt's heart immediately became relaxed.

Holding the incomparably sharp Oath of Victory Sword, the mutated monsters and monsters from another world encountered along the way were all like cutting melons and vegetables in front of him, and were easily cleaned up.

Udis's speed is very fast, much faster than ordinary warhorses, even if running on complex terrain, the speed is comparable to a Mercedes motorcycle.

It only took about twenty minutes, he ran the distance of ten kilometers, and came to the place where Yennefer was caught.
