Chapter 301

So V's expression suddenly became strange.

And Ciri's expression became even stranger... Although it was true to a certain extent, it was quite wrong.

Fortunately, this awkward atmosphere did not last long, and V was called away because of a commission.

It was not Dexter.

As a well-known mercenary in Night City, and a well-known mercenary who accepted all jobs, no matter how big or small, her day can be said to be extremely fulfilling.

For example, she drove from the north of Night City to the south, and then drove back.

"But some things are not so easy to avoid."

She said with a sigh, and brought the coffee originally for V to herself.

This Nebula coffee is very precious, why don't you drink it?

"Who was that guy just now?"

"The living devil of Night City... but it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Qiao shook her head, then turned to Ciri: "There are steaks in the refrigerator, you can eat some first, I'll take you, Lucy and Sasha to eat barbecue later."

Chapter 375 White Frost

Compared to the primitive and terrible diet of the wizarding world, although most of the Cyberpunk side is not much better.

The meat products on the plate are either vegetarian meat or synthetic meat made from insects and earthworms, basically all of which are technology and hard work.

But if you have money, that's another matter.

Although "barbecue", a food for the lower class, is too worldly in the eyes of the upper class and does not match their status.

In addition, the sashimi chef from Japan has always emphasized that roasting the meat completely will lose the original taste of the food, and at most it only needs to be quickly passed over the fire. Due to various factors, barbecue restaurants are not very popular in Night City...

Of course, the premise of barbecue restaurants here is that the meat is roasted inside.

But if you have money, you can buy some ingredients and find a deserted place to have an open-air barbecue.

For example, in a villa in the North Oak District.

After the former great enemy Kaoru Fujioka was out of print by Lin Qiao, the villa that originally belonged to him was also recycled to Arasaka... Rounding it off, it still belongs to Lin Qiao.

Under the moonlight, a wisp of green smoke drifted away.

The sizzling sound of fat being roasted by the fire came from the barbecue grill, and the smell in the air made people's appetite.

The roasted meat was placed on a plate beside, covered with golden fat.

The various barbecue sauces and seasonings on the table made people a little dazzled, and they didn't know how to choose.

'It's really good...'

Chewing the meat in her mouth, Ciri thought happily.

Under the premise of being equally rich, the happiness brought by the future world completely crushes the backward wizard world.

After all, the latter's civilization level is basically comparable to the Middle Ages, or even worse.

And the dark cuisine of the Middle Ages is famous for being...dark.

Some nobles even dared to try water ghost brain, which sounds like something that should not be served on the table.

But the consequences of such people are often not very good.

In general, Ciri is a little worried that if she gets used to enjoying it here, she may not be able to adapt to it when she returns.

After all, in her world, let alone the variety, the price of the seasoning itself is very expensive.

Fortunately, this kind of life only lasts for two days... Why do I feel a little sad?

His eyes moved to Lin Qiao, who was standing in front of the fire and continuing to grill meat, with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's just... I feel that you are quite different from before."

If Lin Qiao had always given her the image of a hateful demon who likes to torture people, then at least he looks like a human being now.

Putting aside the fact that this guy doesn't like to be a human being, he is still quite a human being...

"Then start training again tomorrow?"

"No, no, still no." Ciri waved her hand and rejected Lin Qiao's "good intentions".

The extreme training method that the other party gave her was effective, but the torture was really torture.

"By the way, are those futures you talked about true?"

He stroked a strand of white hair on his forehead.

The reason that forced her to persist in that hellish training, in addition to her own desire to master power, was the tragic future that the other party talked about.

What? Emhyr is my father?

What? Geralt was stabbed to death by a pitchfork?

What? Yennefer died to save Geralt?

What? Old man Vesemir also died?

What? I also died (just maybe)?

After listening to Lin Qiao's description of the future, Ciri was completely numb.

She was basically in a state of confusion.

Although the other party said that there was still a considerable time before these things happened, just thinking about the content made her feel a chill from the spine.

Compared with the latter few, the fact that Emhyr was her biological father made it easier for her to accept...although she didn't want to accept it.

"It should be said that these are all possible futures. As for whether they will happen..."

"If you are capable enough, then these futures are just lies I use to scare you and force you to obey me."

He stretched out his hand and brushed the flames of the stove that were still emitting flames, and then the flames inside were extinguished instantly.

Lin Qiao turned his head and looked at Ciri.

"For example, when Geralt and the other three got drunk and dressed in women's clothes, you could have told Yennefer in advance and asked her to slap each of the three demon hunters."

"...Can't you change the example?"

The expression on Ciri's face looked a little embarrassed... Nonsense!

Others might laugh until they had a fit when they heard that her father and three uncles she knew were wearing women's clothes, but Ciri, as the person involved, only felt her face flushed.

"So you actually came from... uh, my future timeline, and then after leaving my world, you met the present me again?"

As if she didn't want to continue talking about the previous topic, Ciri asked another question that had always been in her mind.

Lin Qiao glanced at her: "If you are holding the name of retaliating against me in the future when you meet me when I am still weak, and then continue to train me, then I advise you to give up, you don't have that chance."

"..."

Don't interrupt my fantasy so bluntly!

Ignoring Ciri, who was a little embarrassed because her little thoughts were seen through, Lin Qiao's eyes gradually drifted away.

The dark clouds today are a little thick, but...

I have a bad feeling.

The spider sense, which has basically not worked, and even Lin Qiao herself has almost forgotten this skill, now issued a prompt for some reason.

——Something is going to happen, be prepared.

Ciri, who was chattering in front of him just now, also became inexplicably flustered.

"Lucy, Sasha, the situation has changed, you retreat first."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qiao made a move the moment this premonition appeared.

The current situation was not beyond his expectations.

Rather, he had expected similar situations when he was training Ciri.

After all, she had used teleportation too many times during this period, so it was not surprising that she would be detected.

But he didn't expect it to be at this time... Maybe it was because she had used teleportation once before.

Is this the curse of barbecue?

Lucy and Sasha had just left for less than a cup of tea, when suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the courtyard of the villa.

This storm seemed to come from nothingness, and it was so strong that it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to even stand in place. The stove and table left in place were instantly blown to the wall more than ten meters away.

Relying on his own ability and physique, Lin Qiao directly resisted this storm that could blow away adults.

Ciri's eyes widened. She was not affected much by the storm.

The temperature around was dropping rapidly.

It was a midsummer night, but the air around was freezing.

A thin layer of frost formed on the ground in the blink of an eye.

The water in the swimming pool also froze into a huge ice block in just a few breaths.

- Hoarfrost.

A terrifying force that was enough to make a world perish in despair and turn into an ice ball.

This was also the reason why he let Sasha and Lucy go first.

Rather than saying that hoarfrost was a kind of power, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a natural phenomenon.

And there was only one person who could use this power -

Wild Hunt!

A layer of white mist that looked like mist mixed with snowflakes blew quickly towards Lin Qiao.

The sudden drop in temperature instantly formed a layer of frost on his body.

"Is this hoarfrost...?"

He didn't care about his freezing body.

Lin Qiao half-squinted his eyes, held the spider evolution bottle in his hand, and curled the corners of his mouth.

"——Nothing more."

Chapter 376: Fighting in a group is like fighting in the rear

Bang!

A sound similar to an air explosion sounded, and flashes of light appeared in the yard.

It was a huge hole that looked like a vortex.

Knights covered in black skeleton armor appeared one after another, as if they had walked out of a nightmare.

And walking out of the portal with them, there was also a kind of hideous monster with four limbs crawling on the ground and covered with minerals on its body-the Wild Hunt Hound.

With their arrival, although the surrounding temperature was still terribly cold, the deadly white frost seemed to stop.

"You have nowhere to escape, Givelle."

A strong voice sounded.

The Wild Hunt soldiers surrounding Ciri made way for the owner of the voice.

He was a man who was much taller and stronger than the other soldiers, more than two meters tall.

Although his armor was also made of skeletons, it was much more arrogant than others, and the shape of the helmet was also different.

A hammer with a human face carved on it and a black iron shield like a door panel are really different from other Wild Hunt soldiers who use swords.

"Ilerith...?" Ciri looked at the figure in front of her and murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

The core commander of the Wild Hunt Legion, one of Eredin's lackeys, and a relatively large lackey.

"It seems that you are living well in this world, the holder of the ancient blood."
