Chapter 2682 Triss' Question

"Ciri?"

"Triss?"

Seeing the woman in front of him, Shirley was also taken aback.

"Why are you in Novigrad?"

"This is my problem... what are you doing here?"

"It's a long story..."

While speaking, Ciri looked at Liz, who nodded immediately.

"Then I'll go back and tell the children a story."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

After saying this, Liz bowed respectfully to the two of them, then turned and left, and it was only then that Shirley turned her head and looked at Triss helplessly.

"To be honest, after taking care of children, I realized how naughty I was when I was a child... Children are really a headache."

"Wait? You have kids?"

Triss stared at Ciri dumbfounded, feeling completely stupefied, but Ciri froze for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hand.

"Ah, that's not what it means, they are adopted. We met a few orphans before, and their parents died because of the war, so we will take care of them for a while."

"That's right, it really scared me."

Hearing Ciri's answer, Triss finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then she looked at Ciri.

"I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

"No problem, let's find a quiet place."

Soon, the two opened a room in the guest room on the second floor of the tavern, and then Triss cast a spell to ensure that their conversation would not be eavesdropped, and then looked at Ciri.

"Okay, tell me, Ciri, what have you been through these years, why did you come to Novigrad? And what happened to the envoy of the God of Fire? What happened..."

"what………"

Hearing Triss ask about the envoy, Xili also looked embarrassed. This thing was not what he wanted to be. Although he was mentally prepared, hearing someone who knew him ask this still made Xili feel a little embarrassed. impulse.

"Actually, I didn't want to be that envoy, it was Mr. Fangzheng who asked me to be..."

"Who is Fangzheng?"

"Ah... let's start from the beginning."

It was too troublesome to explain everything one by one, so Ciri simply explained to Triss what happened before. After hearing Shirley's explanation, Triss had a look of disbelief.

"You mean that you were hunted by the wild hunt, and then traveled to another world on the way, met those people, and then they sent you back...?"

"Yes, it is like that."

"Then what happened to the angel?"

"It's not Mr. Fangzheng's fault!"

Speaking of this, Ciri also began to pour bitterness on Triss.

"I originally thought of going back to Kaer Morhen first, but Mr. Fangzheng said that Geralt might not be in Kaer Morhen right now, and I might not find anyone when I go back..."

"This is..."

As a friend who had a close relationship with Geralt, Triss also understood that this was not nonsense. After all, Geralt was a witcher, and he was always involved in some messy things. Who knows where he will go and what will happen to him...

"But what does this have to do with you being an envoy?"

"Because Mr. Fangzheng said it's too troublesome to run around like a headless chicken looking for someone. I might as well just wait here for Geralt. As long as I have this reputation, Geralt will definitely come to Norvig Rui came to me. At that time, we encountered the execution of witches in the square, so Mr. Fangzheng attacked the Church of Eternal Flame."

“……………………”

After hearing Shirley's explanation, Triss looked confused.

"So, you guys made such a big deal and changed the situation in the entire Northland just to let Geralt know you're here?"

"...that's about it."

Ciri was embarrassed too, but what could she do? This matter does sound too exaggerated, and it wasn't her idea either! ! !

"But I went to church to find you, why are you always absent?"

"Because I'm not used to the church, Triss, you haven't seen the way those believers looked at me, it made me itchy all over. So I told them, if Geralt came to the church to look for me, please Just stay and text me."

"So that's the case...then is the Church of Eternal Flame managed by that person named Fang Zheng?"

Thinking of this, Triss frowned slightly. From her point of view, the other party obviously manipulated Ciri as a puppet.

However………

"No, Mr. Fangzheng also said that he was too lazy to care about these things. He had already set off with Ms. Miaojie to find a place suitable for the children to live in."

"……………Aha?"

Hearing Ciri's answer, Triss felt like a mess in her head.

"So who is in charge in the Church of Eternal Flame now? Didn't Mr. Fangzheng send someone to stay?"

"No, now we just promoted a few people who have a good reputation inside the church and let them be responsible for managing the affairs of the church. According to what Mr. Fang Zheng said, as long as the Church of Eternal Flame no longer persecutes other wizards and non-human races, he Never mind."

"...But, but what if they continue to attack wizards secretly?"

Originally Triss thought that the other party must have placed her in the Church of Eternal Flame, but Ciri's answer really surprised her. If the other party didn't leave anyone behind, how could they ensure that the Church of Eternal Flame could always act according to their wishes?

"That doesn't matter, Mr. Fangzheng said that if you don't obey, you will burn it again..."

While speaking, Ciri helplessly spread her hands.

And Triss didn't know what to say when faced with this answer.

"Then, what kind of person is Fang Zheng?"

Triss restrained her mind, looked at Ciri again and asked, but facing her inquiry, Ciri had a complicated expression on her face.

"This...how should I put it..."

Although he and Fangzheng had been together for a while, Shirley didn't know how to describe this man. To be honest, Ciri believed that he possessed unimaginable power, but his character and performance really made it difficult for Ciri to think of him as a big shot. He was full of nonsense about running trains, and he was always full of fallacies. Shirley had never seen such a big man. Although if what Fang Zheng said is true, then his identity is greater than all the great figures in this world combined.

But his performance is really... It's hard for people to believe the relationship between him and this identity.

"In short, a very friendly man."

In the end, Shirley still used a more moderate word to describe it.

"……………friendly?"

Even when Triss was killed, Ciri would give him such an ambiguous answer.

"Well, at least he won't look scary or deliberately pretend to be majestic like many big figures. As for the others... I can't say."

Xili didn't know what to say, she would cry if she said too much!

Facing Ciri's answer, Triss also looked confused——are you kidding me? A friendly person can burn the entire upper echelon of the Eternal Flame Cult into coke with a single gesture, and even smash Radovid V to death with a meteor?

Even the most daring warlock can't do this kind of thing!

"Can I go see him?"

Although puzzled, Triss still looked to Ciri and made her request. She originally wanted to find a way out for herself and the warlocks in Novigrad. At first, Triss hoped to use Ciri's introduction to talk to the person who promoted the reform in the Church of Eternal Flame, but she failed. Thinking that Fangzheng, who was the instigator, didn't bother to take care of the church at all. In this way, I'm afraid the only way to discuss it is to meet with the other party in person.

Moreover, as a warlock, Triss is also very curious about Fang Zheng.

What happened to the 100-meter-tall flame giant?

And how did he summon meteors to destroy the capital?

Where did all this come from?

What kind of power does that man possess?

Originally, he hoped to get an answer from Xili, but he didn't expect to get an answer, but more and more questions.

In this case, I had no choice but to confirm it with my own eyes.

"Of course there is no problem."

Facing Triss' proposal, Ciri responded without hesitation.

Soon, a group of people quickly hit the road.

Because they were going to take the children to the new boarding place that Fangzheng and Miaojie were looking for, everyone also prepared a carriage, and of course one more female sorceress is not a big deal right now. Triss also has experience in taking care of Ciri before, so helping them take care of their children is not a problem.

Soon, they came to a village near Crow's Nest, but after searching around, there was still no clue of the two of them.

"Miss Liz, what did Mr. Fangzheng say?"

Ciri scratched her head in doubt, and looked at Liz beside her, who took out the letter and glanced at it.

"Mr. Fangzheng said let's ask people in the nearby villages."

"But I asked, and they said that there is no such person here?"

"I figured it out."

Hearing Ciri's answer, Liz's eyes lit up.

"please follow me."

While speaking, Liz took Ciri and Triss to the village tavern again and found the boss.

"Oh, it's you again. I said I've never seen such a person."

Seeing Ciri's appearance, the tavern owner also hurriedly replied, but this time Ciri didn't speak. Instead, Liz stepped forward and saluted him respectfully.

"I'm very sorry, I want to ask, has anything strange happened around here recently?"

"Strange thing?"

"yes."

"When you say that, there is really a strange thing."

Hearing Liz's question, the tavern owner also thought about it, and then raised his head.

"Not long ago, a mountain suddenly appeared here!"

"……………what?"

"……………what?"

Hearing the boss's answer, both Ciri and Triss showed puzzled expressions.

"Suddenly a mountain appeared? What is sudden?"

"It was all of a sudden...how should I put it......it was after we woke up that there was a high mountain in the north!"

"Wasn't that mountain always there?"

"Of course not, miss. I'm not blind. Many people ran to see it, and it's over there!"

As the boss spoke, he pointed to the north.

"As long as you turn over this hillside and walk forward, you can see it. That mountain is so high! I've never seen such a high mountain! And there seems to be something on it!"

"Is no one going up to see?"

"Who dares to go, the mountain that appeared inexplicably, what if it disappears inexplicably again? And that mountain is very steep and difficult to walk, you'd better stay away from there, no one knows what's going on with that mountain .”

"thanks."

After getting the answer, Liz also nodded, and led the two out of the tavern.

"Okay, our destination is confirmed."

"So you believe that the mountain has something to do with Mr. Fangzheng?"

Ciri asked suspiciously, but Liz didn't answer directly, but turned her head and glanced at the north.

"You'll know when you go."
