Chapter 208 I didn't expect you to be such a person!
As an isolated archipelago offshore, the land of Skellige is also extremely colorful. There are not only various mines, Druid sects, but also brave warriors who are good at water warfare, and they are of both genders.
It is equivalent to the Vikings in another world, and Nilfgaard is similar to Rome in another world. This is why Chen Mo is optimistic about this country.
Skellige has close ties with the mainland, and there is an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going. In the mainland's luxury goods market, Skellige's black pearls occupy a large share. It is said that Queen Nilfgaard herself has a whole string of fine pearls.
necklace.
In addition, many rare magic metals are produced here, and the biggest buyer is the Church of Eternal Fire. Because of the Church's own teachings, a vigorous witch-hunting movement has been launched in the north, and many noble wizards in the past have been killed.
They were hung on the stakes and roasted to charcoal by ordinary people, and the Eternal Fire also prepared a powerful army of witch hunters for this purpose. They were all equipped with anti-magic armor and magic-forbidden props, all of which came from history.
Made of Kelly J's metal!
When the sailboat entered the port, everyone on the ship, from the captain to the sailors, let out a sigh of relief. They finally arrived at the port!
Thinking of his experiences at sea these days, the captain still felt a twinge of heart palpitations.
It was still a bright noon. He was preparing goods at the port of Velen, and then two guys in cloaks came over, hoping to let him carry them to the Skellige Islands.
In view of the generous reward, the captain immediately agreed. However, after arriving at sea, one of the passengers with black hair and black eyes suddenly invited the crew to a dark duel.
The crew members immediately agreed when they saw the shining gold coins, and then the entire ship, from the sailor to the captain, was defeated in the hands of the other party. The high-quality cards they had accumulated in daily life were also taken away by the other party as trophies.
Its total value even exceeds the ferry ticket paid by the other party.
But the rules of Gwent are like this. As a well-known merchant ship, they can't do anything to kill people and sell goods, not to mention that one of the opponents is a demon hunter, so in the following days, no matter how high the reward the other party proposes,
No one wants to participate in an unforgettable dark duel.
Whenever this happens, Chen Mo always accuses these guys bitterly that they have no honor as duelists!
After arriving at the shore, a group of sailors almost surrounded the two people and got off the ship. When the two people left the pier, the cheers on the whole ship were louder than when the captain's wife gave birth to a baby.
"what's your plan?"
Chen Mo asked as he looked at the locals wearing fur coats and carrying axes on their waists coming and going.
"Let's go separate ways to get some information first! Then we'll meet up at the hotel!"
Geralt made very constructive suggestions based on his experience as a witcher.
"no problem!"
Chen Mo nodded. There was nothing wrong with the other party's suggestion. It was easier to get information by spreading out the information. According to the experience in TV movies and novels, the place that can provide the protagonist with information is usually the tavern!
So after Chen Mo walked around the street and saw the sign of the pub, he immediately pushed the door open without any hesitation!
The tavern is very large, with a layout similar to a Viking longhouse. On both sides of the room are rows of tables filled with drinkers, and in the center is a fire pit, which drives away the chill of guests who enter the room.
Chen Mo ordered a glass of mead from his boss and was about to talk, but the next second, he heard the sound of paper tapping on the table.
"My Witcher Badge tells me that there is a Gwent master here!"
Chen Mo, whose hands were itching unbearably, didn't bother to inquire about the information about Xixili, so he immediately walked over with the wine glass in hand.
"Ah, little brother, I can tell you are a master just by looking at it!"
The card guy sitting across the table had a sexy mustache and gave Chen Mo a wink. The cards in his hand made a clattering sound as he flipped them.
Chen Mo took off his wide-brimmed hat and sat across from him with sharp eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense, let me see how much you weigh!"
In this battle, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, and the boss drank glass after glass of low-alcohol mead. The duelists in front of Chen Mo came one after another, until the moon climbed up into the sky and everyone in the tavern left.
Most of the time later, Chen Mo patted his bulging belly from drinking too much mead and prepared to go back to the hotel.
But when he was satisfied with counting the harvest, a familiar voice came from the stairs on the second floor of the tavern.
"You are such a beauty!"
"Geralt!"
Seeing the demon hunter walking down with the same confused look on his face and touching the girl's butt, Chen Mo immediately shouted.
"Didn't you say you went to get information? Why did you call two of them here?"
Geralt didn't panic when Chen Mo drank. He pointed at the gold coins on the table and asked.
"Aren't you also engaged in intelligence? Why are there so many gold coins here?"
Chen Mo's face turned red. He blamed it on being too addicted to playing cards and forgetting about business, but he couldn't admit this kind of thing, so he pretended to be calm and said.
"I also play cards to exchange information. These guys are locals and know a lot of information!"
"I'm also collecting information. This is a technique of a demon hunter. Even if you tell me, you won't understand it!"
Geralt dismissed the girl next to him, then rubbed his neck that was full of marks, and came to Chen Mo.
"Since we are all collecting intelligence, I think there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Let's go back and rest early! We still have business to do tomorrow!"
"Well, you're right, there are still other things to be busy with!"
The two of them are not going to continue to investigate why they met together when collecting intelligence. It would be fine if Ciri knew about this!
So on the way, the two of them reached an agreement that at least this matter should not be mentioned again in the future!
"Did you find out anything about Xili?"
"The Wild Hunt has launched several attacks here, but they all failed. There are traces of battlefields on several nearby islands. Also, as far as I know, Ciri is on the Island of Mist!"
As Chen Mo spoke, he released all the contents in his stomach onto the wall of someone else's house on the side of the road, and even shook them after he was done.
"Island of Mist!"
"Yes, that place is not easy to get to! Moreover, the Wild Hunt still appears among the islands, and the most important point is that once the Wild Hunt finds Ciri's location, it will definitely launch a full-scale attack. I don't care, but this island is not something
A great place for a decisive battle, there are too many civilians here!"
"Then we have to pick a place that's out of the way!"
"Not only that, we also have to find a way to attract all the leadership of the Wild Hunt! To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the roots!"
