In addition to Lu Qi, many people are closely following the direction of the war for various purposes.

Among them is the witch hunter who has been recuperating in the Brochron Forest for six weeks and finally recovered.

From Tris, he learned that Geralt was in the Brochron Forest, the witch hunter's friend and great poet Dandelion, and with the help of a King's Guard, he came to Brochron, known as the "Forest of Death".

Although he was almost scared to death by the tree spirit and fell in the smearing environment, he still saw Geralt, who looked very sloppy.

Under Geralt's questioning, he also told the situation of the war:

"...As soon as the battle of Door Angel started, Enshire sent an envoy to the city of Vigima. It is said that King Eville of Vidden made a pledge of allegiance to Emperor Nifgad, and opened the doors of all fortresses in the Yarruga River and declared surrender."

"The fortress of Viden and the mouth of the Yarruga River fell into the hands of the Nifgads, and a large number of black-clad legions were eager to try, seriously threatening the flanks of the Kingdom of Temolia..."

"So, Fultest surrendered and abandoned Aden?"

"Yes." The bard nodded and continued, "However, he sent troops to the Pontal Valley, occupied and entered the Haji Fortress of Aden. The Niphgads did not move, nor did they enter Viden, even though the land was surrounded by them. This was undoubtedly one of the costs of keeping Temolia neutral..."

"Cili is right." The witch hunter broke a branch in his hand and murmured: "Neutral... has always been despising."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. What about Codwin, why didn't King Hensette of Codwin help Demavi and Miwei? Are they not an alliance?"

"If Henset also follows Fultest and does not take his signature and seal on the covenant seriously, and thinks that the king's promise is meaningless, then he will be too stupid!"

"Aden fell, Temolia compromised, Redania was in chaos, and the next target of the Niphgads was him. Can't he even see such obvious things clearly? Even out of reason, he should send troops to support Aden..."

As he spoke, the witch hunter seemed to remember what he had traveled for many years and had seen, and his calm tone began to fluctuate:

"What do you think, Dandelion, is there any reason in this world? Or is it that only despicable and contempt are left?"

Hearing this question, the bard did not speak, but just looked at the tree spirits appearing around him silently, not knowing how to answer.

"If you don't answer, it proves that Xili is right? The only one who is wrong is me, a childish, outdated and stupid witch hunter..."

While murmuring, the witch hunter raised his head and blinked the pair of orange cat eyes? He continued to ask:

"So? Hensette chose the despicable side, right?"

"On the bridge of the Diverny River? Marquis of Mansfield of Ad Kale (the capital of Codwin), shook hands with Meno Koheren, commander-in-chief of the Dore Angela troops of the Nifgad Empire. They shook hands on the bloody and dying Kingdom of Aden? They dispersed the trophy. It can be called the most despicable handshake in history."

The situation of the war has come to an end. However, the questions Geralt is really concerned about have not been answered yet.

"When it comes to despicable? Dandelion? What about those warlocks? What about those bastards who fought for their own interests and fought to the point of blood?"

"Fultest drove all the warlocks who served him out of Termolia. Phylliba helped the queen calm the chaos in Tritonge, and Trisse and Kayla accompanied her? A few more went to Codwin. Most of the warlocks escaped to Covell and Henforth. After all, they chose neutrality..."

"I know, where is Vigofortez? And his followers?"

"He is missing. I heard from Alex? When you fainted, the tower that Xili and Weigofotz entered together? A magic explosion occurred, and Weigofotz was blown away..."

Before he finished speaking, the witch hunter interrupted him:

"Where is Xiri? Have you seen her?"

"I heard from Tris? Her body was not found in the ruins? It should have been teleported to some unknown place using the portal at the top of the tower."

This news made Geralt relax a little.

"Tell me what Yennefa, you should know."

"Listen, I really know nothing..."

"Don't lie, I know you."

As if he was a little annoyed by his friend's questioning, Dandrien couldn't help but raise his voice:

"Since you really know me, why do you have to force me to speak? Since you know me so thoroughly, you should know why I keep the secret!"

The bard's slightly raised voice woke up several tree spirits leaning beside the tree.

"Sorry, he was a little excited..."

Under Geralt's comfort, the tree spirits fell asleep again, and the bard broke the silence:

"Gelot, you always advocate not being involved in any event, and nothing matters to you. Maybe it's because of this that she's done it when she started this game with Wigofotz..."

"Enough! Don't say another word. When I hear the word "chess game", I want to kill someone!"

As Yennefa's pillow, how could Geralt not realize what role Yennefa played in that coup.

He just doesn't want to think about these things...

"Carry it off, it's time for you to leave. The tree spirit will take you up a few miles, so that you won't fall into the hands of a soldier, a robber, or even a squirrel party."

Looking at the witch hunter who suddenly stood up in the dark environment, the bard couldn't help but stand up:

"Well, you want to stay?"

"No, I won't. I have to go find Xiri!"

Hearing this, Dandelion was a little stunned and then spoke:

"Geralt...you listen to me first..."

"What do you say?" The witch hunter's emotions burst out: "She is alone now, I can't leave her alone, Dandrien. You will never understand, no one will understand, except me."

"If I leave her alone, everything I have suffered will be repeated in her, and I can't do that!"

"I understand, so I'm going with you."

"You're crazy, do you know where I'm going?"

"I don't know, Geralt. But I met a few acquaintances of Covell on the road, and they heard some rumors about Cialis, and those rumors also reached the ears of the Squirrel Party and the Niffgaards. So, let me tell you..."

Standing there and thinking for a long time, the witch hunter finally sighed and said lightly:
Chapter completed!
