Large-scale witch hunting began in Redania and quickly spread to Novigre with the cooperation of the Eternal Fire Church, but other countries have not been greatly affected.

Geralt had just worked with Tris to resolve Vigima's coup crisis. Tris was recognized by King Fultest as a court sorcerer consultant for his merits.

In Vigima, Geralt had never encountered a witch hunter, and the warlock still had a good position in Temolia.

When Geralt left Vigima and headed north for Novigri, the news of a drastic change in the highest power in Redania had not spread yet, and he knew nothing about Novigri's changes.

"Give up, man."

An old man in a robe patted Geralt on the shoulder from behind with a bitter face.

Geralt asked in confusion: "You are..."

The old man sighed: "The alchemist of the City of Freedom...was it."

"Come with me, don't have conflicts with these guards, they have a very bad temper recently."

After some conversation, Geralt learned from the unlucky alchemist the whole story of the chaos in Novigre.

The old man's name is Ferguson, and he was not famous alchemist who originally lived in the city of Novigre.

Because of his poor skills, few people are willing to buy potions from him, so his income is not very good.

In order to save money, Ferguson had no choice but to risk going out to the wild to collect herbs.

Fortunately, he can configure potions to eliminate his own odor and reduce the chance of being noticed by monsters.

Five days ago, Ferguson was routinely leaving the city to look for herbs, but when he returned home with a full load, he was stopped by the city gate guards.

Compared with the crazy witch hunters and foolish people, the temple guards are still rational and do not confuse innocent alchemists and sorcerers.

Ferguson was only forbidden into the city like Geralt, and the temple guards did not arrest him.

"Witch Hunter..."

Geralt frowned slightly. He did not expect that Novigre, who had always advocated freedom, would launch such a large-scale warlock hunt.

Ferguson camped outside the city for a few days, but Novigre's witch hunting movement still showed no signs of stopping.

As a last resort, the old alchemist had no choice but to give up his plan to enter the city.

He was going south to the territory of Termolia, and found a village to make a living with his own skills. He waited until the situation calmed down before returning to Novigre.

Saying goodbye to Ferguson and others who were heading south, Geralt stood in front of the city gate and pondered for a long time.

‘Let’s talk about it when the night comes, look around the city wall and see if there are any underground passages that can sneak into the city quietly.’

...

At 10 a.m., Xin Sheng was suddenly awakened by the wet touch on his face.

When Xin Sheng opened his eyes and saw Dahuang lying on the edge of the bed, he licked his face with his tongue.

Helplessly pushing Dahuang's dog head away, Xin Sheng rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Rhubarb, what's going on?"

“Woo~”

Dahuang ran to the gate, and stood up and scratched the door with his two front paws.

Xin Sheng walked over and opened the door in confusion. Xili, who was knocking on the door, smashed his bent finger on Xin Sheng's face.

"Um!"

Just as he got up, Xin Sheng's brain has not fully recovered.

Xili's knocking was not very powerful, but it just happened to wake him up from the haze.

“Uh~”

Xili didn't expect Xin Sheng to open the door before knocking on him. He was stunned for a second before he was embarrassed to ask about his well-being.

"Is it okay? I didn't mean it."

Xin Sheng waved his hand and comforted him: "Don't care, I'm just startled."

He kicked Dahuang gently in anger, ignoring the dog's aggrieved expression. Xin Sheng looked at Xili and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Ah, by the way."

Only then did Xili remember his purpose: "I suddenly realized a question, how did Geralt, who came from Vigima, come into the city and meet us?"

Xin Sheng was stunned for a moment: "I almost forgot if you didn't say it."

Calculate the time for Geralt to set off and his footwork, and it is probably about to reach Novigre.

"Um……"

Xin Sheng pondered for a moment.

"In the entire sewer picture that Silvi gave us, it seems that there is a sewer that leads to the outside of the city."

Take out the sewer map from the space ring, Xin Sheng and Xili start looking for the exit outside the city together.

Novigre's underground drainage system is very developed, and the well-connected sewers are as dense as spider nests. Yesterday, Xin Sheng and the other two walked through only a small section.

"Finished, here."

Xili points to the southwest corner of the map, marked as a sewage treatment port, from which the sewage generated in the city will be transported into the sea with self-cleaning ability.

"Hold on."

Xin Sheng walked to the window and let Daedalus stand on the windowsill fly.

Connecting the golden eagle's vision, Xin Sheng quickly saw the overlooking view of the southwest corner of the city.

“There is indeed a sewage…well?”

As Daedalus turned in the air, Xin Sheng briefly glanced at the scene at the gate of the south side.

"Wait, Daedalus, turn to the gate of Novigrennan."

Through the focus ability of Eagle Eye Pupil, Xin Sheng saw the White Wolf Geralt sitting bored outside the city sharpening his sword.

"Cillie, I saw Geralt."

"See?"

Xili looked at Xin Sheng's eyes in shock. For a moment, Xin Sheng's pupils changed from amber to bright gold.

"This is my special ability."

Xin Sheng pointed to the blue sky outside the window: "I can connect my animal friends with my vision and observe the changes in the outside world through their eyes."

Given the chaos in Novigri now, Xin Sheng could only passively stay in this new shelter.

In this case, Daedalus and Dahuang, who can move freely as animals, will observe the situation in the city with Xin Sheng's perspective.

Natiya also rubbed her eyes and walked into Xin Sheng's room at this moment.

“Ha~”

After yawning lazy, Natiya squatted down and rubbed Rhum's head skillfully.

"Your animal companion is still so easy to use, I really envy you."

Xin Sheng couldn't help but complain: "Didn't you say you want to keep a hunting dog very early? Where is the dog?"

Natiya rolled her eyes in anger: "I don't feel bad when I stand and talk. I have been in contact with your rhubarb for a long time. My vision has long been raised. How can I find a suitable partner so easily?"

Xin Sheng shook his head helplessly: "You really... forget it, let's talk about this topic later."

‘If you can sign a contract with Natiya, you can go to the system’s pet mall to try to draw an animal companion for her… I just don’t know what I can draw.’

Stop Natiya's jokes, Xin Sheng ordered Daedalus to dive into the direction where Geralt was.

The sound of wind coming from above the head made the keen hearing witch hunter alert, and the amber snake eyes looked into the air.

"eagle?"

Eagles usually do not attack humans because they cannot catch the weight of adult humans and find it difficult to complete predation independently.

Moreover, Geralt did not feel hostility from the eagle. He subconsciously thought that the eagle was transformed by a warlock.

Don't doubt that warlocks can indeed learn this transformation spell, and Philiba has become an owl in the game.

Daedalus landed in front of Geralt, and his humanized eyes seemed to convey some message to him.

Geralt watched Daedalus write on the ground with his own eyes... Of course, it was Xin Sheng who controlled it behind the scenes.
