Chapter 1223 1205. Distrust
After working on it for a long time, Margarita was finally sure that Lan En had no idea about the cold sorceress with black hair and purple eyes.
?Although the relationship between Yennefer and Geralt is a very topical topic among the warlock community.
They were also the first to become famous in the small circle of sorcerers, a combination of sorceresses looking for witchers as lovers.
?Of course, now that Lan En has brought the reputation of the demon hunters to greater and greater heights. More sorceresses became aware of this group that they once didn''t know much about.
?Superior martial arts, strong physique, and generally strong physiological needs due to hormonal mutations. Being a greedy lover is indeed a good choice.
So many female sorcerers now want to find a demon hunter to satisfy their desire for exploration and novelty.
??However, Yennefer was very good at playing in the past, and she also belonged to the "very good" category among the sorceresses. This made Margarita, a friend who knew everything about her, curl her lips.
“So, should I talk to Tissaya about this?”
?Lan silently smacked his lower lip. This action made Margarita chuckle.
"No, there is no need to go to her for this kind of thing. Because it is not difficult to deal with."
??The current dean of Arethusa shook his head.
“Supporting an action that is likely to pay off well and be approved by the warlock is nothing new for Arethusa.”
“Although this operation sounds risky and may go against the will of many kings. So you know it.”
Speaking of this, Margarita''s voice also brought out the sense and calmness of a leader.
“Arethusa will not directly provide help until the situation is clear. Help is limited and hidden.”
“Place your bet carefully.” Lan En didn’t have any unnecessary expression after hearing this. “A safe choice. But it’s enough.”
“It’s all thanks to me that I was able to attract such sponsorship before I made any serious achievements.”
Speaking, Lan En even praised himself jokingly.
“Let’s see what kind of noise they can make in the future.” Margarita spread her hands. "But, shouldn''t we talk now about how to deal with the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Although it is dark now and the flowers are fragrant, there is neither the chirping of insects nor the chirping of birds.
?Because these weak and sensitive creatures were still crushed by the pressure of the Tyrannosaurus corpse.
??And just the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex is dangerous enough for this world.
?No one knows what changes will occur in the corpse that is rich in extremely strong vitality under the influence of the chaotic magic scattered throughout the world.
Even though Lan En has killed the Tyrannosaurus Rex once, who knows if another twisted demon spirit will be born from the violent corpse full of deep appetite?
“The body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex cannot be left here.” The demon hunter first solemnly came to an overall conclusion. "Not just because of the danger, it''s my duty."
“It is part of the agreement I made to prevent dangerous things from coming here through the intersection of the celestial sphere.”
“That is to say, you must return its body to its original world.”
?Margarita frowned slightly and murmured some calculations.
"This thing is so big and heavy that it''s impossible to move it out of the mountains and teleport it? Maybe it can be done."
“It’s not just teleportation, it’s not that simple.” Lan En couldn’t help but frown slightly when talking about the specific operation.
??However, the witcher turned his head slightly and asked in a seemingly unintentional tone.
“By the way, Ritatisaya, is she free recently?”
“Are you free? Seeing as you asked, how long will it take for you to be free?”
“Why does it take more than a month?”
"More than a month?" Margarita came back to her senses at this time and looked at the witcher strangely, "If it were in Arethusa, then there must be. But I listen to you. What do you want to do?"
?Lan blinked and smiled.
—
It wasn’t until around three or four o’clock in the morning the next day that others found this place on the rugged and difficult mountain roads of the Mahakam Mountains, following the traces of damage caused by the Dino Tyrannosaurus and Lan.
??This is still the case with the two warlocks Triss and Tisaya providing supernatural lighting, otherwise it would be impossible to move in the mountains at night.
“Even after turning into a corpse, the terrifying pressure of this thing still makes it difficult for me to breathe.”
?Lincoln, who could not hide his exhaustion, arrived with the rest of the honorary swordsmen among the Ember Knights.
??The young scribe behaved the same way as Margarita did before, cautiously touching the smooth-textured skin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with his hands.
“Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job before.”
? Lan En was beside him, giving recognition and encouragement to every honorary swordsman.
They had previously greatly eliminated the impact of the Cursed Mist Monsters on the battle situation.
??For this reason, they even risked casualties to disperse the team. Fortunately, the Ember Knights were indeed of excellent quality, and the training content they inherited from the Demon Hunters also made them very targeted against monsters such as the Mist Demon. Therefore, only three of the knights were slightly injured, and they had been bandaged and treated.
??However, after a long period of marching and fierce fighting, even though they were strong men who had followed Lann through the Battle of Sodden Hill, most of them were now obviously listless and in a trance.
I am really exhausted.
??Triss and Tisaya also stood next to the body of the Dino Tyrannosaurus with its legs stuck in the hole, covering their mouths and noses with perfumed handkerchiefs, looking at the huge dark green monster with amazed and serious expressions.
They are all warlocks, and their status as part-time researchers makes them not only sigh like Lincoln, but also have a subconscious desire to explore this terrifying monster that they have never seen before.
"Sir," one of the Ember Knights said tiredly but clearly, "Is the battle over now? How to deal with this body?"
The overall high quality of Ember Knight is reflected in one sentence.
?They are not ordinary knights who only think about fighting and fighting. For ordinary knights, it is over once the battle is over.
??But for this group of Ember Knights who take Lan En as their example and goal, managing the post-war impact is also part of the combat mission.
And they immediately realized the criticality of this body.
The Mahakam Mountains suffered such huge ecological damage that it once threatened the safety of this river artery in the Pontal Valley.
??If there is no explanation, I am afraid that the kings of the four northern countries will have a hard time doing it.
But on the other hand
The Ember Knights all took off their helmets at this time, and their calm, tacit, and profound glances communicated silently with each other.
?It must be stated in advance that although the Knights of Ember became famous with Lann at the Battle of Soden Mountain, they have received warm hospitality and warm arrangements from King Foltest of Temeria.
But they don’t trust the four northern countries very much.
Among them are the reasons for the failure of the First Battle of Sodden.
?At that time, the internal command authority of the four northern armies was unclear and they were restrained by each other, which led to a great rout. Finally, they were able to regain the situation in front of the Nilfgaardian Army at Soden Mountain.
?In addition, at the end of the Battle of Sodden Mountain, the Ember Knights who followed Lan En witnessed with their own eyes the fanatical atmosphere of the soldiers from the Four Nations on the battlefield for their generals.
?In a life-and-death battlefield, the general who can lead the team to victory is God!
And Lan En, in full view of everyone, killed all the ‘gods’ in Nilfgaard along the way! Brought the final victory!
After the war, although Lan was accidentally teleported away by Triss, the soldiers still maintained respect and fanaticism for him.
?This fanaticism even spread to the Ember Knights led by Lan En.
It is difficult to say how much of the current reputation of the Knights of Ember is brought about by Lan En, the leader.
In such a group mood, the Ember Knights maintained their utmost calmness and anger because of Lan En''s unexpected teleportation.
They were able to pay attention to their surroundings amid the chaotic waves of emotions.
According to their observations, as the kings of the four northern countries, seeing the soldiers who should have been loyal to them become so fanatical about other people after the war, the kings'' real mood was certainly not very good.
Their attitudes were inconspicuous in the chaos of the time, and each of the kings was the most profound master of showmanship, with extremely quick and natural changes in mood.
But those emotions were still seen by the Ember Knights. This has led to today’s distrust.
??If it was before, then they were just following their master here to do Foltest a favor and ensure the safety of the Pontal Valley, so naturally they would do whatever was necessary after the work was done.
But just now, Lan En had already told them about his goals with Saskia and Iorveth.
A free city with racial equality. The Ember Knights like this idea.
On the one hand, after being baptized from hell, they have their own thoughts on deep issues such as society, race, and justice, and they resonate with their elders.
On the other hand, the title of "Duke" on their head is still an empty title. In their hearts, this is really ugly.
Under such circumstances, the Ember Knights had their own hesitation as to whether to be honest with Temeria.
"Sir, I see that you are familiar with this monster before. Have you seen it before?" Lincoln asked while wiping the blood from the Dino Tyrannosaurus skin on his hands. "But doesn''t it come from the intersection of the celestial spheres?"
“It is precisely because I came from the intersection of the celestial spheres that I know him.”
?? Lan En said simply. He had not yet told the Ember Knights in detail about his agreement with the Lady of the Lake and his mission.
But it’s only a matter of time.
After all, the Knights of Ember are the most trustworthy force under his command.
?Thinking of this, Lan even pointed to the body of the Tyrannosaurus with great interest and gave a brief explanation to Lincoln and Tissaya.
