While Yennefer was thinking of going to Kaer Morhen to look for Geralt, Olivia was still completing side quests in Novigrad. This was how the game system worked. Every time you arrived at a new place, you could explore many quests. You could also accept various requests from the noticeboard.
Obviously, Olivia was now the leader of Kaer Morhen. At the same time, she was also a witcher. It was just that she had not gone through the Trial of the Grasses. However, as a sorcerer, a particularly knowledgeable sorcerer who had access to a gaming system, she would be more efficient than the average witcher when it came to hunting certain monsters.
After all, Olivia was not fighting alone. Other than her inseparable source sorcerer sister, Cirilla, she also had a rather elite group of knights. Even if they could not compare to the personal guards of the Emperor of the Nilfgaardian Empire or the kings of several kingdoms in the Northern Realms, they were not inferior to a small kingdom.
This was the power of money. Of course, the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms," Olivia's personal charm was also powerful enough. Some wandering knights would even travel thousands of miles to become the guardian knight of this princess of the kingdom. However, this position had long since been taken.
That's right. Olivia's guardian knight, of course, was her sister, Cirilla. Cirilla was originally a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts. She was exceptionally talented. Now that she was personally trained by Olivia, her personal strength was probably even stronger than Olivia's system!
This was the protagonist's halo, the Child of Fortune!
However, Cirilla, the Child of Fortune, was only hell-bent on her own younger sister. She, who had a "sis-con" attribute, was clearly even more powerful. Once something happened to her younger sister, she would definitely be able to "turn dark". At that time, she would probably transform into a great demon king and destroy the world …
Unlike Geralt, Olivia was a lone ranger. Hence, completing a Witcher's Quest was as easy as grinding points. She did not even have to do it herself. Cirilla was more than enough to train Cirilla. They were in a team by default. As long as Cirilla killed the monster, Olivia would complete the quest as well.
It seemed as if Olivia was exploiting her own sister, Cirilla. In fact, Cirilla was doing it willingly. The trauma of her childhood had made her very persistent in the pursuit of power. At the same time, she did not want her sister to take any more risks. Therefore, as her sister's guardian knight, of course, she would overcome all obstacles for her sister!
However, in the beginning, Cirilla was still in danger due to her lack of combat experience. In such situations, Olivia, as a sorcerer, would always be able to save her sister from danger. The sense of security of having a strong backing made Cirilla even more ferocious in battle …
Therefore, as the leader, Ermion was wise and farsighted. She should be in control of the overall situation, instead of recklessly putting herself in danger.
Now that she had money, she began to seek to make Kaer Morhen even more powerful. This time, she came to Novigrad to promote Kaer Morhen. She wanted to attract more capable people to visit Kaer Morhen.
No matter the era, talented people were always very important.
In Ermion's mind, those who were born with powerful bloodlines undoubtedly represented advanced productivity. However, those talented and intelligent ordinary people were also very valuable resources.
Therefore, Kaer Morhen, which had a small population, had already started compulsory education. Poor children who might not have been able to read were trained from a young age. In the process, they would also be extremely loyal to Ermion, the leader who had given them knowledge.
The rich and overbearing merchant Ermion naturally received a sincere welcome in Novigrad, the City of Freedom, which worshipped money. This city was ruled by the council. Those who could join the council were, of course, wealthy merchants. After seeing Ermion's extravagance, the council even thought of pulling Ermion into the council. At the same time, he complained to her that the security of this city actually depended on a few gang leaders, such as the Beggar King and Hawthorne the Second.
If the leader of Kaer Morhen, the president of Ermion's Chamber of Commerce, the leader of the witchers of the School of the Wolf, the Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms, the little princess of Cintra, Olivia could join the council, they would welcome her with open arms. Of course, to officially become a member of the council, one had to contribute to Novigrad. Otherwise, it would be unjustifiable.
Unknowingly, Ermion had so many titles …
With the invitation from the council, Ermion naturally saw such a more difficult side quest in the game system. The criteria to complete the quest were more flexible. There was a way to solve Novigrad's troublesome gang and security problems. There was also a way to give discounts to the merchants in the council. There was even a way to continue to increase her titles. For example, her identity as the princess of the Nilfgaardian Empire had been completely recognized.
It could not be helped. The southern Nilfgaardian Empire ruled by Emperor Emhyr was too powerful. Some small countries in the northern territories trembled in fear. If they knew that Ermion was the Emperor's daughter, and the Emperor's favorite first heir, Ermion, who liked to do side quests everywhere, would be treated like a VIP wherever she went …
Of course, there would be more people plotting against Olivia. They might even send assassins to finish off the heir of the Great Emperor. Once the Great Emperor died, the entire Nilfgaardian Empire would fall into civil strife due to the lack of an heir.
In fact, many ministers of the Nilfgaardian Empire were quite dissatisfied with the fact that Emperor Emhyr did not have any children. After Emperor Emhyr returned to his country, he had played with many women, but he could not produce a child …
Olivia was not in a hurry to join Novigrad's council group. She liked to plan before taking action. She did have the idea of controlling this prosperous and wealthy Free City, but she wanted complete control. She did not just want to be a councilor.
Ermion was indeed the daughter of the dictator Emperor Emhyr. Her desire for power far exceeded that of an ordinary ruler. She did not care about democracy and freedom at all. She just had to decide everything.
When Ermion received Geralt's letter, asking her and Cirilla to return to Kaer Morhen to welcome Yennefer, she had almost completed her business in Novigrad. So, she chose to set off.
Coincidentally, after Ermion left the city, she met someone who had come to Novigrad with a low profile.
His name was Kistrin, His Royal Highness of Verden. He used to be Ermion's fiancé.
Ermion did not have much of an impression of him. He was just lucky enough to become the fiancé of the little Princess of Cintra. His elder sister, Cirilla, had also slandered him in front of her sister, saying that Kistrin was fat, ugly, and had bad breath …
However, when they met again, Ermion realized that he was neither fat nor ugly. What happened to being fat and ugly?
