Just when Lu Qi put his hand on the hilt of his sword, hesitating whether to stop Geralt or attack Regis together, Geralt made his choice first:

I saw him slowly lowering the long sword in his hand, waving his hand expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice:

"This is enough, more than enough. Go ahead, Emile Regis or something, and get out of here."

"It's really surprising." Regis sneered, "You allow me to leave? You want to let go of me who poses a threat to humanity? Demon hunters should do their best to eliminate threats like me, right?

"

Faced with Regis's rhetorical question, Geralt did not answer, but repeated again:

"Go away and disappear for me."

Seeing Geralt's reaction, Lu Qi raised his eyebrows and immediately understood that there should be no fight between vampires and demon hunters...

Just as his right hand left the hilt of the sword, Regis's voice sounded again:

"Which off-the-beaten-path corner should I disappear to? After all, you are a witcher and you know about me. When you have solved your own problems, you may come back. You know where I live and you know

Where do I go to spend my time and what do I do for a living..."

"So, will you come after me?"

"It's possible, as long as there's a bounty. I'm a demon hunter."

"Then I wish you good luck, but before that, I want to know, how much does my head need to be worth if I want you to take over this job?"

"Get out of here, Regis!"

"I'm leaving now, but please give me a price."

Seeing Regis's "I won't leave until you tell me" look, the demon hunter suppressed his inner irritation and said casually:

"If it were an ordinary vampire, I would usually collect a good horse with a good saddle. But, you are not ordinary."

"How much is that?"

Looking directly into Regis's slightly shiny eyes, the demon hunter seemed to finally react and responded coldly:

"I doubt anyone can afford it."

This answer seemed to make Regis happy. He smiled and also exposed his iconic pair of fangs.

Seeing this, Milva immediately stepped back, while Dandelion exclaimed in surprise.

Glancing at Lu Qi who didn't move and seemed a little curious on his face, Regis nodded slightly to him and then said:

"Goodbye and good luck to you."

"Goodbye, Regis, and you too."

He flicked his cloak and wrapped it around his whole body. This high-level vampire who had lived for hundreds of years suddenly disappeared into thin air.

The moment Regis disappeared, Lu Qi suddenly activated [Eagle Vision] as if he had been waiting for a long time!

Under the eagle's eye, Lu Qi only saw a shadow with a faint blue light, flying into the sky and quickly leaving the eagle's field of vision.

After confirming that the high-level vampire's elusive appearance did not really disappear out of thin air, but had traces to follow, Lu Qi immediately turned off [Eagle Vision] and acted as if nothing had happened.

It was rare to meet a high-level vampire, so of course he had to collect as much information as possible. Otherwise, when one day he met a high-level vampire that was full of malice towards him, he would even die without knowing how the other person was killed.

own...

After watching Regis leave, the demon hunter turned around and looked at Lu Qi:

"Now, it's your turn. How did you get here?"

"It's a long story..."

...

Obviously, it is not a wise choice to stay in the peripheral area and reminisce about old times where you may be involved in a battle at any time.

So, under the illumination of the morning light, a few people rode across the Aina River and advanced along the right bank.

On the way, Milva took care of Dandelion, who was a little dizzy, while Lu Qi and Geralt rode at the front, talking in low voices:

"So, you came to me specifically to learn swordsmanship from me?"

"To be more precise, I want to travel across the mainland and learn from a famous swordsman."

"If I'm not mistaken, you know magic, right?"

"So what?"

"Oh, every warlock I know doesn't look down on my swordsmanship at all. They think it is a dirty method that will only dirty their noble hands."

Hearing this, Lu Qi, who was sitting on the saddle, just shrugged, "Although I can do magic, I don't think I am a warlock. I value a skill more that can help me. If it can be solved with swordsmanship There’s no need to use magic when you’re an enemy, right?”

In short, it’s just one sentence: I want both magic and swordsmanship!

"A very interesting point of view. However, I have more important things to do, so I'm afraid I can't..."

"You're going to find Ciri, right?"

The demon hunter blinked and said nothing, but nodded silently.

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do in a hurry. Let's do this. I'll join your team and go with you to find Ciri. Then, when you have time, you can teach me swordsmanship."

"This is my private matter and I shouldn't involve you." Geralt said coldly.

"Hey, Demon Hunter, don't forget, you owe me one more time... Oh, no, I saved you again tonight."

"Although we are friends, favors still have to be repaid."

"So, as long as you teach me all your sword skills, we will be clear. At that time, I will leave without you having to say anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the demon hunter could answer, Lu Qi reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "That's it!"

Looking at the back of Lu Qi driving his horse forward, Geralt didn't know what he thought of and frowned...

...

Until they were far away from the shouts of killing, the group came to the quiet flowing Yaruga River.

After finding a clean open space next to a willow tree and tying up the horses, the four of them were able to stop and rest for a while.

Perhaps it was Regis' incident or Lu Qi's sudden entry that disrupted his plan. After dismounting, Geralt ran to the side, sat on the sand, and began to think alone.

The beautiful girl archer Milva and Dandelion, who had a bandage on his head, began to search a small boat in the reeds, trying to find some food or tools that could be used to fill their stomachs.

Seeing this, Lu Qi threw the bag containing raw meat and a dry food bag containing bread onto the sand.

"There's raw mutton and bread in it. You guys watch and cook it. I'll go get my pet first."

After saying these words, Lu Qi turned around and left, disappearing into the woods illuminated by the morning light.

"Wow, he is so bold. When he travels, he actually brings a pet with him... I don't know if it is a local dog or a talking parrot..."

Hearing the poet's murmur, Milva, who had already seen the young griffon, opened the bag and showed a mysterious smile to the poet:
