"Hey!"

"Ho!"

While shouting loudly, the "Knight" slapped the "Bandit" twice on the back with two swords, and then the "Bandit" dropped the wooden sword with a tremor of his wrist, and fell to his knees cleanly, trembling like a quail.

"I surrender! Your honorable and invincible princess and knight, I surrender!"

"Haha, the defeated general, you know how powerful you are!"

Xili complacently patted the head of "Horse" three times, and the latter immediately understood, hugged her waist and let her land steadily on the ground.

"I announce the end of the No.30 Second Crusade, get up, Collier! Remember, as before, keep it a secret!"

"Of course, Princess Ciri, don't forget that Collier is your most loyal servant."

After the announcement, Ciri raised her fair face towards the witcher. After all this slapstick, crystal beads of sweat had covered her cheeks and white hair with tiny fuzz.

Seeing this, the witcher naturally pulled a towel that had been prepared long ago, knelt down and gently wiped off her sweat and cleaned the sticky ink marks.

Wiping her, she tilted her head, her half-bent eyes showed a smile, and she hummed comfortably from time to time, like a cat enjoying a massage.

While wiping away the dark marks on her face, the maid secretly looked at the scene in front of her, feeling quite touched.

She did not expect that in just half a month, Roy won the trust of Her Highness the Princess.

"Cunning demon hunter, you really have a way of coaxing children!" She said in her heart, but it was normal after thinking about it.

The little princess was raised in a deep boudoir for several years, surrounded by a stern queen and obedient maids.There are no peers who can communicate and play with her on an equal footing.

Although she is well clothed and well fed, the little princess has never been happy in the palace.

No one has endless interesting stories, all kinds of games, and just the right care like The Witcher.

"Perhaps the role played by the witcher is the little princess's long-absent parents."

Well, Collier frowned in distress. She felt that there was something wrong there, but she didn't think about it.

……

"Roy..." Ciri sat on the edge of the bed, wiggling her white lotus-like legs playfully, "We are friends, right?"

"I have to remind you, we are good friends." The demon hunter rubbed his brows, thinking hard. According to the usual arrangement, this time should start telling stories for Ciri, "Which story are you listening to today? How about Rapunzel, I promise it's a more profound version you've never heard before!"

"No, I don't want to listen to the story right now." Ciri said coquettishly, "I want to ride a horse, good friend, can you satisfy my humble request?"

"Uh... But didn't you ride it just now? Take a rest."

"I mean real horses!" Ciri emphasized, and then glanced at the round-faced maid who was eavesdropping, she squeezed her fists,

"Okay, Roy, I want to meet Wilt and see if it's as human as you said."

"Sorry," the demon hunter shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression, "I dare not disobey the order of Her Highness the Queen."

"Why don't you continue playing cards? Anyway, Collier's face is wiped clean. Don't you think it would be more cute to add a few patterns to this round face?!"

"Hiss—" The maid at the side who was cleaning the room with a broom froze, shrank her neck, and moved quietly towards the door.

"No." Ciri stubbornly stared at the demon hunter's eyes with a pair of emerald-like eyes, a trace of mist appeared in them,

"This is my last wish, Roy."

"Why are you talking so pessimistically?" the demon hunter shook his head and laughed. "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. One day I will be able to convince the queen to let you go out of the palace."

Ciri licked her lips, "But Calanthe will send someone to take me to Verdon tomorrow. At that time, I won't be able to see you, let alone Werther."

"Are you leaving?"

Roy was in a trance for a moment, unknowingly he had been in the Sintra Palace for half a month, to be exact, he played with an eight-year-old girl for half a month.

Except for the crazy training in the palace every evening and routinely frightening the little griffin Golfin, the rest of the time stays in the palace.

"Unbelievable."

As for the reason, he regarded it as a rare relaxation... Ciri is indeed eccentric, making people helpless and loving.Although there are occasional temper tantrums, that can also be corrected.

But now it looks like it's over.

"No, Siri, as I mentioned at the beginning, we are the same kind of people, grasshoppers on the same rope, and we are destined to meet countless times." Roy said half-truthfully, if he could catch up with this How exciting it would be to have a ride with a daughter of destiny and go to another world to play.

"Will you play with me in the future?"

"Of course, in the near future. And you don't have to worry about Prince Christine." The witcher comforted.

"Okay, then we've made an appointment!" Ciri stretched out her little finger towards him, and the two little fingers, one big and one small, hooked together.

"You must take me to see Wilt in the future, continue to accompany me to hunt down bandits, and tell me stories!" Shirley turned her nose up, a smile appeared on her face again,

"Roy, now I want to hear the story of Rapunzel."

"Obey, Your Royal Highness," the witcher wrapped Ciri's warm and soft hands in both hands, and she exuded the faint fragrance of a child, "My story is different from the one everyone tells. Rapunzel is not Waiting for her prince, in the long loneliness and solitude..."

The round-faced maid also came over and pricked up her ears.

"Rapunzel decided to hang herself with her own hair! After she died, her spirit haunted the castle waiting for the return of the prince."

……

"Goodbye—"

Under the golden sunset, Roy waved goodbye to the Sintra Castle not far away.

Just now, Queen Calanthe formally conveyed the order to him, starting tomorrow, he will no longer be allowed to enter the palace.

Afterwards, the demon hunter declined the queen's generous reward. Although he was greedy for money, he didn't want his relationship with the daughter of destiny to be related to money.

He returned to the demon hunter's hut, where the three demon hunters had been waiting for a long time.

In the past half a month, Roy played with Ciri during the day, and trained crazily under the guidance of the three witchers in the morning and evening.

But the training was interrupted not long ago, and Oakes, Serrit, and Lesso briefly left Sintra with the little witch Thelma.

When they returned again, the two Snakes were ashamed and seemed to have suffered a lot, but Oakes looked happy and full of ambition.

The story goes like this—the three people with cramped brains originally sneaked into Aretusa secretly, wanting to test how heavily guarded Aretusa is.

As a result, the witch who was guarding discovered it, bombarded it indiscriminately, and almost gave his life to the academy.Thanks to Oakes explaining his intention in time and pushing out the little girl Thelma as a shield, the witches' anger was calmed down.

Warlock seeds delivered to your door are not accepted for nothing.

Then, relying on his "stinky and shameless" optimist character, Oakes quickly hooked up with a bold and unrestrained female sorceress, and enjoyed a night of romance/encounter comfortably.

The two brothers left in the lobby were much looked down upon.

As for the sorceress—

"Kayla Metz..." Oakes couldn't help showing off to Roy, "This beautiful lady is quite open-minded, and she definitely wouldn't mind having a few more partners to have fun with."

He glanced at the two expressionless brothers,

"It's a pity that these two pieces of wood have no interest at all, pretending not to understand my hint."

"Roy, if you're here—"

"Don't..." The boy shook his head, "I don't want to be involved in this messy relationship."

Although he has long been known for Kayla Metz.

"Carpe diem, do you understand, why worry so much?"

"Okay, everyone, listen to me." Roy turned to the three demon hunters on the sofa, took a deep breath, "I think I have to leave Sintra for a while."

As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the living room was instantly broken, and all three of them restrained their smiles.

"Where are you going? Continue to be a babysitter?"

"Do not."

"Little ghost, there is a sentence I have been holding back in my heart. What are you doing so mysteriously? Do you still treat us as your own?"

Lei Suo was sitting upright, his brows were furrowed, and his face was stern, with a very stern expression.

"I am a member of the Snake Sect, and there is no doubt that I will never do anything that would damage the Sect." Roy's dark golden eyes swept across the three of them, and said sincerely, "And you are all my good teachers and helpful friends. "

"But please give me some time. After I return from this trip, I will answer all my doubts, including...my secret."

"Your secret?" The bald man nodded, his expression softened, "Remember, you owe us an explanation! Don't make us wait too long!"

"Go, Roy—the young eagle should also learn to fly by itself." Oakes grinned, put his arms around his shoulders, and encouraged, "But be careful on the road! I have prepared many new training routines for you."

"Boy...Even if you leave, you must persist in memorizing "On Biology", don't slack off." Serrit straightened her hairband, and seriously urged, "Come back and take the exam. If you fail, you will see me!"

"Up to two weeks, then everyone, goodbye!"

Roy put on a hooded cloak to completely cover his body. When he turned around, a glimmer of light flashed through his dark golden pupils.

"When the time comes, I might be able to bring back a new friend!"

"Also, please keep an eye on Galar for me, and don't let him run away with the little griffin."

Chapter 14 The Boat on the Yaruga

The morning mist filled the Yaruga River, and in the lazy water, a barge with the flag of the Three Lions on a blue background was moving forward at a slow speed.

The passengers on board, mostly merchants and farmers, were taking a nap.

There is also a small group of soldiers wearing silver chain mail and steel swords on their waists gathered near the bow of the ship. In front of them is a spotless little girl in a long white dress, looking at the silhouettes of islands and many small islands looming in the mist. .

"Collier, how long will it be?"

"Master Krause said that we will reach Nastrog in at least three hours."

Shirley yawned, and lowered her head to count the white waves broken by the boat, a trace of sleepiness appeared on her face, "The Yaruga River is so empty, it's so boring." She pointed at the stern of the boat indignantly People, "And, why should I stay with these guys who only snore!"

"Your Highness, please be considerate. It's not disgraceful to be on the same boat as your own people. Also, please don't lean against the side of the boat, it's too dangerous." The round-faced maid said, trembling with fear. firmly grabbed the little girl's arm and pulled her slightly away from the side of the boat,

"Hmph! Coward, you shouldn't have followed me!"

……

Just in the crowd of people at the stern.

"It's quite pleasant."

With a smile on his lips, the witcher changed to a more comfortable sitting position, admiring the boundless river view. The sun was shining on the dim river surface, the mist filled the water, and the waves curled up, like a hazy oil painting.

But soon, he sighed, and a figure sat down beside him familiarly.

The visitor was a thin and small man in his 30s, wearing a fat and not clean cloak with a round brass brooch pinned to it. He leaned his head towards the witcher and cleared his throat. Squint your highly myopic eyes,

"Excuse me, your Excellency is a witcher, right?"

"no……"

"Dark gold pupils, vertical pupils like beasts, I'm sure you are a demon hunter"

"Your eyes are blurred."

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it," the skinny man smiled heartily, "I just want to find someone to chat with and pass the rest of the boring time. In a sense, the witcher and I should have a lot in common."

This time, Roy also showed a hint of curiosity.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Linus Peet, a master tutor and lecturer in the Department of Natural History at Oxburgh College."

Niubao, also known as Oxenfurt, is located in Oxenfurt University, one of the best universities in the world.The poet Dandelion and the doctor Shani are both students of the school.

"Okay...Mr. Linus, it's a pleasure to meet you." The other party was a senior intellectual, but he was willing to respect himself, a young witcher.

The young man also paid respect and stretched out his hand, "Demon hunter of Viper School, Roy."

"I don't know what your Excellency is doing all the way to Verdon in the west?"

"I don't want to go to Verdon," Linus withdrew his hand and corrected the witcher's words, "I'm just searching for some mysterious and rare species in this river basin. But after so many years, I have visited all over Pang The Taal, and this Yaruga, always misses them."

"Why are you looking for those things?" The demon hunter frowned. Rare and mysterious species often mean deadly danger.

"Could it be that you believe in animal protectionism?"

Linus Peet nodded,

"To tell you the truth, I established a rare animal breeding garden near Oxenfurt to breed endangered animals so that they can reproduce normally and not become extinct."

"For this reason, I spend a few months every year traveling around the world to collect rare species... This year's subject is still underwater life."

"I heard that demon hunters are masters in the field of mysterious creatures. I happened to meet you and wanted to exchange ideas. Do you know anything about the biomes inhabiting the Yaruga River Basin?"

After speaking, Linus looked at the witcher expectantly.
