Chapter 190: The Crimson Road
The arrival of the witches was not a surprise, they were the real reliance of the team, at least on the surface. Compared to one mercenary, the threat that three witches would pose to the Burning Tao Clan was obviously more important than that of a single mercenary. But in reality, Lothar had a vague feeling that the Great Witch had not placed the hope of success in this assassination on the three young ladies, and that the previous meal had given him some kind of hint that the Great Witch should not waste time with someone of no value. Of course, he wouldn't say anything he couldn't even be sure of.
"Do you have a solution to the problem of breathing?" the Count asked, but there was not the slightest doubt in his tone, now that the mission had been issued, the witches must be prepared.
"Yes. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to swim up from the abyss half a year ago, would we? And, sorry, we didn't have anything else to do. Peg said, apologetic as seven months ago, in the underground caverns of the Thunder Giant's corpses, the witches had to abandon Lothar and Fioni and flee the battlefield under siege by the remaining hunters of the Sharktooth Clan led by Jaquia. This disturbed Peg's heart, she felt that she owed Lothar enough, and she feared that the abandonment would be the last straw for the Count to break with the witch.
But Rosa just waved her hand casually, signaling that the long-haired witch didn't have to care about it, "At that time, I felt like I was dead. In fact, I really died once. You chose the right path at that time, and there is no need to feel guilty about it. Look, I'm not standing here properly, by the way, what's going on with those two ladies?"
The other two ladies in the earl's mouth were Galen and Fettis, who had previously operated together in the underground space, and these two witches did not join in the assassination attempt. A smile appeared on Peg's face, and she was glad to have Lothar's understanding, "Ms. Fettis and Glenn have other tasks to do. In addition, they are all doing well, and Karen even used this time to make a new whip, which is even more uncomfortable than the previous one. As for Ms. Fetis, she is cleaning her cell, and prisoners will certainly be indispensable after this war. ”
The warrior shrugged his shoulders, then took a slight step back, to distance himself from Kiri, who had already been like a butterfly smelling flowers when Peg greeted him, no, Lothar preferred to describe her as a mosquito that smelled her nose, anyway, she had been looking around Lothar with interest for some time. And at this time, Kiri's appearance is still Kuira's, which adds to Lothar's discomfort even more. "I suddenly miss a little bit of the days when I didn't see a witch for half a year. ”
"Don't tell such obvious lies, don't you crave battle and glory, or is half a year enough to turn a warlike lord into a fisherman?" Kiri whispered in Lothar's ear, she now looked like a child seeing her long-lost pet. It's just that this pet may have quietly changed.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a fisherman. There are not so many responsibilities, and there is no need to fulfill any mission. Life can't just be endless battles, can it?"
Lothar's answer made Kiri's brow furrow, and she turned to look at the other two witches, and pointed at the Count, "What has happened to this guy? Did you replace his brain while I was sleepwalking? But I didn't see the stitches on his head! the kind of threads that would have been left after the craniotomy, or did you do it with an iron stick sticking through his ear?"
"We've done nothing, and you'd better calm down and keep some energy, we still have a lot of work to do. Hela stepped forward and pressed Kiri's shoulder, giving Lothar an apologetic expression. But the Count only tilted his head, he had long been accustomed to this way of speaking. If you and this mad witch were forced to be in the same boat and drift all the way from the blue lion to the loss of heart, you will get used to it. But there is indeed one thing that is not wrong, the Count has undergone changes in the past few months that he has not even noticed, and the reason may be that he is about to become a father.
The huntress on the side had already felt impatient in the greetings between the witch and the knight, but she still waited patiently until now, and when she saw that a few people did not speak again, she said, "There is still some distance before the whirlpool, and you can talk on the boat." Of course, it would be better if you could keep quiet and let the people of the Burning Waves not discover us so quickly. ”
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a small boat silently left the shallows where it was moored and headed for the huge whirlpool in the distant sea. The moment looks like an oil painting, and the reflection of the setting sun on the sea turns into a red path that guides the boat forward. It's just a pity that this picture disappeared as the big witch's hand was no longer dry. This woman, who looked to be only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, was dressed in a simple linen dress, and her long black hair poured down casually, but even so, she still had a charm that made people fall in love at first sight. "Oh, you are so beautiful, dear lady. I dare say that the statues in the temple of the goddess were all turned into worthless stones when they saw you. ”
"Put away your hypocrisy, devil, I didn't become like this to listen to your cheap flattery. The Great Witch turned and looked at where the voice had come from. Her eyes were on the golden branches on the table, and the black crow that was her servant was tilting its head at her, and the bird's pupils glowed with an evil light that shouldn't have been.
"Oh, of course, of course. Sorry dear lady, I just, can't help it. "Do you think this team of yours will be able to accomplish their mission?" from the closed beak of a shrill and unsettling voice, with a nonchalant smile and a shift like a harlequin in a burlesque, "Do you think this team you have sent will be able to accomplish their mission?" While Lothar Montenegro is a rare piece to play, you know, knights are not easy to be the winning hand on the board. Their inner creed keeps them from fearing, but it also makes them rebellious. The one I got in my last trade, for example, was much more difficult to handle than any king I knew. ”
"Well, there's a soul that can make your devil feel intimidating. Heh, if he's alive I'd really like to meet, it's definitely an interesting person. The Great Witch smiled, but there was not the slightest hint of a smile, "As for whether they succeed or not, you don't have to worry about it, this war will only have one ending, and Lady Tide can only accept it even if she is reluctant." ”
"I'm glad to hear your confidence in this, and I'll pass it on to the brokers. In addition, the broker is very, very honored to welcome travelers into this world, and he sincerely appreciates you for your decision. As long as you can win this war, He will be happy to convince other noble lords to recognize you and your people. ”
He had better be so. ”
