Chapter 122 The Plague Strikes(1/2)
In the early morning, the sky was just getting dark.
In the spacious guest room on the second floor of the Black Knight Tavern.
Gordon opened his eyes from his deep sleep and saw Evoni sitting up next to him and getting ready to get up.
Gordon immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed Yevni's smooth body into his arms, and said dissatisfied: "Why did you only come back last night and have to leave so early today?"
"The last time we found the Necromancer in the Dathrasl Forest was too serious. Now the Sorceresses Alliance and the Kingdom of San Feidir have sent people to investigate..."
"Also, we have just arrived in the north, and we are not familiar with many things. There will be a lot of things to do during this period, and I won't be able to accompany you..."
Yevni raised her hand to hold down Gordon's flailing hand and said.
"Then you came here specifically to make up for me last night?"
Gordon was even more dissatisfied, but he knew the seriousness of the matter and hummed.
"Yes, you were so exhausted the day before yesterday..."
Eveni smiled.
"You are so busy, so why don't I think Leia is not busy at all? She came back on the first night."
"And Tesili, she came back the day before yesterday, and you are the busiest..."
Gordon continued, burying his head in Yevni's chest and panting continuously.
"Tesili will definitely be busy next, and may even be transferred out of the Kingdom of Saint Fidel."
"As for Leia, she is different. Her personality is not suitable for serving as a mage in any palace, no matter where she is."
"She even joined the Sorceresses' Alliance because of me. She has no sense of presence in the Alliance, and she hasn't had many friends since she was a child."
"But fortunately, she got to know you and Xina this time..."
"After I leave, please help me keep an eye on Leia. She is not stupid, but sometimes she speaks a little childishly..."
"Okay, it's time for me to leave Gordon..."
"Wasn't last night enough..."
"ah..."
"Take it easy..."
"hiss..."
The sounds in the room became quiet.
Not long after, a very rhythmic creaking and shaking sound could be heard in the room.
On this quiet winter morning.
When Gordon arrived at the tavern hall, the sky outside was already quite bright.
Looking around, I saw Xina sitting alone in the corner of the hall by the window.
After placing the order at the bar, Gordon turned around and walked towards Xina with a cup of hot goat milk in his hand.
"Morning, Hina..."
"Good morning Gordon..."
"You're very early today. I just saw Yevni going out in a hurry, not even eating breakfast."
Seeing Gordon, Xina immediately asked.
"I know, she has been busy recently."
"Where's Leia, why didn't you see her today?"
Gordon sat across from Hina, took a sip of hot goat milk to warm his heart and stomach, and said.
"Leia went back to her room yesterday, and she should still be sleeping now."
Xina cut a piece of fried egg and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely.
"Hey, she actually slept alone last night?"
"Didn't she say that she would sleep with you and Eveni from now on?"
Gordon said in surprise.
"Hehe, speaking of this, it has something to do with you."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Yevni came to my room last night. Leia was going to sleep with Yevni."
"But Yevni had a conversation with Leia, and after saying that Leia was not in a good mood, she went back to her room to sleep."
Xina snickered.
Gordon also laughed, but he couldn't blame himself.
She and Yevni had been holding it in for so long. On the day they arrived, they even had to put the gun back on the string. She finally came back all night.
How could Yevni sleep with that little girl Leia?
Gordon smiled and shook his head, continuing to drink the hot goat milk from the cup.
At this time, the breakfast ordered by Gordon was delivered.
The two of them were eating and chatting, and not long after, they saw Geralt appear in front of the bar.
"Morning, Geralt..."
"morning..."
"Why didn't you see Tesili?"
Seeing Geralt sitting down with a cup of steaming milk in his hand, Gordon asked.
"Leaved early in the morning."
"They are very busy."
Geralt took a sip of the hot milk in the cup and continued, "Where's Yevny, is she gone too?"
"Yes, she said she just arrived here and will be very busy for a while."
Gordon stuffed his mouth with beef brisket and said vaguely.
"Teslie said the same thing, they are always so busy..."
"She also said that she might leave Santa Fidels City for a while..."
Geralt continued to speak, complaining a little, but his tone did not contain any regrets. On the contrary, Gordon could hear that he was a little happy.
Gordon naturally knew why Geralt was happy.
Tesili was here, so he had to be careful when he went out to play, and he was a little nervous when playing.
As soon as Tesili left, Geralt was immediately liberated.
Sensing Geralt's thoughts, Gordon rolled his eyes and said casually, "You seem very happy?"
"Of course...you kid..."
As soon as Geralt spoke, he immediately reacted and glared at Gordon.
Gordon didn't care and continued: "By the way, I won't play Gwent with you today."
In the past few days, except for the first day, Gordon walked around the city of Santa Fedels with Geralt Xinalea and others.
In the next few days, a few people basically drank, chatted and played cards in the Black Knight Tavern.
Snowflakes are falling outside the tavern, and it is warm and warm inside.
An environment that is too comfortable and comfortable can easily weaken people's will and spirit.
Gordon decided to start taking action today.
He was going to make inquiries and find out everything related to the plague, looking for the identity and traces of the "plague maker" Nicholas Nelson.
With the terrifying title of "Plague Maker", he had reason to believe that the other party would definitely leave some traces in this world.
"Why, can't you stay idle anymore?"
Geralt smiled.
He didn't believe that this boy Gordon was simply restless.
Gordon had much more money than him. Even if he took a year off, Gordon would have enough money to spend.
It had only been a few days, but Gordon couldn't rest any longer.
Geralt could sense that something was wrong with this kid, but if he didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask any more questions.
Gordon has always been a bit mysterious.
Whether it's the special seal used by Gordon, the lack of a witcher badge, or some common sense of witchers, Gordon doesn't look like a witcher.
However, his superb swordsmanship and his ability to take potions and other behaviors like Xina made Gordon look like an ordinary demon hunter.
Of course, no matter how mysterious this kid is, with the friendship and relationship between them, those are irrelevant.
"Well, if I want to see more, I might try to go to the square to accept commissioned tasks..."
Gordon nodded and said nothing more.
But he could guess what Geralt should be able to see.
"Go ahead and accept more tasks to increase your knowledge and experience. This will allow you to experience and grow faster, which will be very helpful to you in the future."
"If you need help or if you don't understand anything, just ask me..."
"As for playing Gwent, there are so many people in this tavern, I will let you know that my title of Gwent Master is not for nothing."
