Chapter 619: A Crisp Rejection
In the garden, Jiang Ning is pruning the branches of his flowers and plants, watering and fertilizing by the way. Francesca didn't say much about the arrival of a human sorceress, but gestured with an inquiring gaze. Francisca introduced the two of them to each other, saying, "This is Kelamez, from Carias, and now the royal advisor of Temeria. Then she introduced Kayla Metz, "This is Inningville, from the upper world. ”
The two shook hands with each other in a gesture of friendship. Kelamez asked suspiciously, "The upper world?" ”
Francesca explained to her, "The High Elves come from another world, and that world is called the 'Upper World' by many worlds, whether it is the High Elves who live in the Valley of the Elves, or Inningville, they all come from the Upper World. ”
"I see." Kelamez nodded in understanding, and she said, "Inininville, my name is Kelamez, and I'm a sorceress, and it's a pleasure to see you. ”
Jiang Ning pulled out his hand without a trace, and while Kayla shook hands with him again just now, she gently scratched his palm with her fingers. He said, "Francesca, your friends are at your disposal, and I have a little potion to deal with." Francesca nodded, she was keenly aware of some of the situation, but she didn't show it on her face, "Okay, you go and get busy, Kayla will be entertained by me." Jiang Ning nodded, and replied politely to Kailamez, and then he turned around and left to go back to his pharmacy room, he had always been disgusted by this kind of uneasy woman.
After he left, Francesca went straight to the point, asking Kelamez what she was coming from. "Kayla, you don't usually leave the Temerian court easily, is there anything you have to do here today?" It was only then that Kayla took her eyes off Jiang Ning, saying, "Nilfgaard is ambitious, having annexed many small countries in the south, and now they are aiming for Sintra. The northern nations were also secretly preparing for war because of Nilfgaard's actions, and war would soon arise. Therefore, the members of the Privy Council of the Priests would like to convene everyone to discuss this issue. To expand our influence and raise the standing of our community of warlocks and mages among the nations, I have come to invite you to participate. ”
Francesca bluntly refused, "I'm sorry, Kayla. "I'm happy with my current life, and I don't want to get involved in the struggle between the nations or be busy with politics again," she said. So, I'm not going to participate. ”
"Franceska, life in the court is for you and me, not in the countryside. Look at you here, what can you have? She gestured around, "There are no frequent salon gatherings, no lavish court banquets. There's nothing here, are you really willing to be a housewife? Busy with kitchen fireworks all day? She said unceremoniously, "Don't forget, you're a warlock." You can't have your own offspring, and no matter how long you stay with him, you can't have children. She added, "Think of your people, who have lost the land on which they depend. Wandering the nations, oppressed and discriminated against, they are different from the High Elves. The Valley of the Elves will not accept them, and your sweetheart will not be able to help you, only we can help you. ”
"If we can successfully stop the pace of Nilfgaard's aggression, then the voice and influence of our warlock and mage community will also be greatly enhanced. At that point, perhaps you will have enough influence to improve the oppression of your people by the nations. It is also possible to obtain a piece of land for your people to live on and thrive. ”
After hearing this, Francesca still firmly refused, "Kayla, I still have to say sorry. I'm not going to get involved, and I don't want to be involved in politics. In the past, I've done enough for them to almost die. Now, I just want to live a good life here, and even if I can't have offspring, I don't want to live the life I had before. ”
"The collection of books in Inningville is rich and numerous. I'm learning every day, looking for ways to regain my ability to conceive offspring. Moreover, Inningville had promised me that he would take me back to the upper world where the High Elves lived. The wizards there not only have strong spells, but they are also able to conceive offspring like normal people. ”
"So, I can only refuse your kindness, I don't want to get involved in these things."
"You ......" she sighed for a long time, "Well, your attitude is very resolute, I can't convince you." ”
"I wish you all the best, Kayla."
Kelamez was gone, and departed in anger. Jiang Ning walked over, side by side with her, and looked at the endless wilderness in the distance, "Is it because of political problems again?" ”
Francesca nodded, "Yes, the Privy Council intends to prevent the war between the North and Nilfgaard and expand the influence and voice of the group. They want to bring everybody together to bring about this outcome. So, Kayla came over to inform me, only that I had just turned her down. ”
"You really don't want to participate?"
Francesca shook her head, "When I hadn't met you, I thought I'd be involved, and I'd be positive." But now......" she shook her head, "I don't want to bother with these things, Ainshidi's debilitation is inevitable. Even though I've done a lot in the past, I still can't change it. Now, I'm not going to live for anybody that doesn't matter, I just want to relax and ignore that. ”
"Follow me, you'll have the same problems."
Francesca shook her head and gently rested her head on his chest by the way, "It's my choice!" Finally, she asked, "I haven't asked you all this time, how did you leave the upper world and come here?" And you haven't been seen in contact with your people? ”
"I followed the guidance of fate and came here."
"Fate?" She frowned puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
Jiang Ning looked at the sky, "It won't be long before the Child of Destiny will be born, and I want to get her." With her power, help me show me the way home? Francesca looked at him puzzled, "Go home?" The Upper World? You don't know the way back there? ”
Jiang Ning shook his head, "No, it's another home, a completely unified home." ”
Francesca still didn't understand, she asked him suspiciously, and Jiang Ning said to her, "You'll know when the time comes." Then he said, "Our time here should be over, and soon I will take you out of here and return to the Upper World, the home of the High Elves." ”
Her big, beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? ”
Jiang Ning nodded, and then hugged her back to the house.
