Quelas? Isn't he leaving? ”

Xu Nan thought of Geralt, and his heart couldn't help but move.

"Yes, but this morning he suddenly said that there was an emergency, which was also urgently reported just now."

Evelyn was also a little confused.

If Quelas wants to get justice for little Jasmine, then his goal has been achieved.

Mirren died, and little Jasmine proved her Atsam heroic bloodline with the help of blood elves, so no one else could interfere in the internal affairs of this family in the future.

Little Jasmine, who is supported by a powerhouse of Quelras's level, believes that she will soon be able to master the castle in the Coldridge Valley.

"Let's take a look?"

Evelyn simply ate some bread and eggs, and got up to leave.

It seems that she still has a lot of respect for Quelras, and even if it would be very rude for the other party to visit any country at such a time, she chose to be understanding and tolerant.

Of course, Xu Nan has no opinion.

In fact, before Evelyn poured him milk, he was already full.

……

The meeting with Quiras was not in a large parlor, but in a smaller study.

When Evelyn and Xu Nan arrived, Queiras was already waiting.

He stood up suddenly, wanting to say something, but when he saw that Xu Nan was also there, he seemed to hesitate for a while.

"Good morning, Your Royal Highness Princess, and this Mr. Su."

He used the same wording as the Eastern Kingdoms, not the lord of the Icewind Lord.

Xu Nan noticed this.

"Good morning." The two responded politely.

"I have something very important to discuss with you." Quellas looked at Evelyn.

Evelyn glanced at the waiter, who was still yawning, who hurriedly brought a pot of hot black tea.

"Mr. Su and I are very good friends, and you also saw what happened yesterday, so there is nothing he can't know."

Her attitude was polite, but her words were faintly condemned by Queiras's actions yesterday.

This size is very good, and it is worthy of someone who grew up in the royal palace.

Xu Nan didn't say anything in a funny way, at this time, he just had to play a qualified Evelyn's dog-headed military advisor.

Quellas was a bit surprised.

He pondered for a moment, waited for the waiter to leave, and quickly dropped two enchantments of different colors.

One is [Mantra Blocking].

The other one is even more powerful, it turns out to be [Absolute Secret].

The former is one of the strongest enchantments for sound blocking, while the latter is the pinnacle of the secret enchantment.

It seems that Quelas was prepared.

Evelyn and Xu Nan both became nervous.

Quellas shouldn't be able to do anything to them, but the next thing he has to say is probably something that involves a lot of big people.

Otherwise, a mantra block is more than enough.

Only for fear of being detected by a super existence that they are discussing their names or related content, will they use [Absolute Secret]!

"I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday."

Quelas pondered his words for a moment, his expression sincere, "I really have no hope of killing Mr. Mirren......"

"That's true."

Evelyn said calmly, "I can understand your apologies, but Mirren is dead. ”

"It's not about today, is it?"

Quellas sighed, "It's a bit related. ”

"This morning, I received a secret letter from someone who wanted to blackmail me, and their target was the [Drum of Time] in Jasmine's hand, which is the pocket watch that represents the head of the Atsam family."

Extortion?

Almost at the same time that Quelas said the word, Xu Nan had already guessed a lot of things!

Geralt!

Did the people of the Ninth Manor kidnap Geralt really to blackmail Geralt?

Then the relationship between them is definitely not as simple as master and apprentice.

Between the lightning and flint, Xu Nan speculated several possibilities.

Sure enough, Quellas said with some anxiety:

"They kidnapped one of my students and threatened him with his life."

"If it's just this kidnapping, of course I won't come to you and ask for your help."

Speaking of this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook his head and said:

"But that student is actually my child. I care about him, but that's not the point I'm so worried about, the point is that the person who does it seems to know everything. ”

"No third person knew about my relationship with that student other than myself, not even himself, that I was actually his father. But the person who wrote the ransom note knows this. ”

"What I had been fearing for a long time finally came true."

"Recently, I have not only been seriously misled in some things, but there are also people behind my back who are closely monitoring my every move with a detached pattern and means......"

Geralt is Queellas's child.

This answer is a bit surprising, but it also makes sense.

According to Queelas, Geralt's birth was an accident, and he didn't even know where the child's mother had gone and where it had come from. He didn't want Geralt to care too much about this, and at the same time, out of the desire to protect him, he hid the fact that he was Geralt's father.

And in the years he had spent at the Temple of Tasar, he had discovered that Geralt had no talent, whether it was magic or magic or anything else.

He's not a good professional, but he's a very good guy.

Geralt is very patient, meticulous and conscientious, does not have much desire, and is a very pure guy.

In Quellas's opinion, he is simply not fit for the struggle.

So under Quelras's arrangement, Geralt went to Wildfire City to be a small priest in An'an. In fact, there is no problem with Quelras's approach, more than twenty years have passed, and Geralt is still a low-level magician in middle age, and he is also doing well in Wildfire City.

Quellas thinks this is the best situation.

But what he didn't expect was that for some reason, he was targeted, and those people didn't know how to dig out Geralt's relationship.

It stands to reason that Geralt was his child and that only Quelas himself knew, and he had never told anyone else.

This is where Queiras panics and anxieties the most.

Even if the other party knew such a secret news, then his plan would definitely have no chance of winning.

"I can't give them the Drum of Time."

"But I do fear for Geralt's safety."

"So I have to come to you."

Quellas smiled bitterly, "I need something beyond the variables, and those guys who are staring at me may be more than legends standing behind them." ”

More than legendary!

This sentence is lethal enough.

"Is it really green?"

Xu Nan thought silently in his heart.

No wonder Quellas was so nervous.

Green Light, one of the Nine Giants of the Shadow Realm, is indeed a near-godly power; Although there are many legends in the Ice Wind Territory that can contain him, such as the Cloud Climbing Monk who took the light that day. But as long as Greenlight wants to leave, no one can keep him.

If you are targeted by such a top wanderer, it is still easy to sleep.

……

"Your Excellency seems to have overestimated our strength."

Evelyn looked at Quelas with some wariness, "And you know a lot more about the legend than we do, don't you?" ”

"This is the Ice Wind Collar."

Her meaning is obvious, even if it is really the green light that is eyeing Quelas, but in the ice wind collar, the other party will give a little shock at most, and it is unlikely that she will take action in person, otherwise the end will be like the eyeball of Tunguska who was accidentally summoned yesterday, and he will be arrested by the old monk of the neighborhood committee nearby......

Quellas was silent for a moment, then explained:

"Of course I know this is the Ice Windling. But the Legendary Wanderer is another concept, they may come from the Shadow Realm, and the Shadow Realm has always had some unaware means. ”

"Although I am not afraid of the Shadow Realm and the possible mastermind behind it, and even if he does make a move, I can contain him, but the problem is that I am completely on the surface, and I think Her Royal Highness will understand what I mean."

Evelyn paced back and forth in the room, ostensibly thinking, but actually giving Xu Nan a look.

At the same time, she replied in a slow tone:

"Your fear is that he knows everything about you and will count all your hole cards; And we came to us to add some unexpected chips on top of these hole cards......"

Quelas nodded, as if by accident:

"Her Royal Highness the princess is really smart, and she deserves to be a descendant of Caesar."

Evelyn's expression remained unchanged, but she replied lightly:

"I didn't expect Mr. Quellas to believe hearsay."

Quelas froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Evelyn to reply, and nodded apologetically.

Xu Nan was also a little strange, but he soon understood what Evelyn was doing.

Judging from the dream, she didn't seem to like the awakening of the blood mage very much, and she herself rejected Caesar's bloodline more than she liked it; She wants to shoulder this responsibility, and it may be more of a responsibility to the people of the Ice Wind Lord.

And in the Eastern Kingdoms, the legend of Evelyn Caesar's bloodline has always been a semi-open secret. The so-called semi-public means that because of the turmoil caused by Evelyn's mother Ulrika back then, many people noticed the young Evelyn.

The secret lies in the fact that under the protection of the old king, neither Ulrica nor Evelyn has been confirmed whether they have Caesar blood.

This story gradually passed with time, and under the deliberate dilution of official forces, no one mentioned it, and naturally it became the so-called secret history of the palace.

Evelyn was not wrong to dismiss it as hearsay.

However, Quelas suddenly said such things at this time, and Xu Nan felt that he was a little tentative.

"Yesterday, the blood elf's loss of control was detected by him?"

"In fact, it's not that little Jasmine can't control the blood elves at all, but because there are higher-level people who have awakened, the Artesam family originally swore allegiance to Caesar's bloodline, and the blood elves should have obeyed Evelyn, who awakened the knowledge of the blood mage, and Evelyn happened to be in a coma at that time, and the blood elves naturally lost control."

These things were things that Xu Nan had speculated on after obtaining the task of [Blood Mage's Awakening], and in a brief discussion with Evelyn, these messages were also confirmed.

Clearly, Quellas had figured it out.

If before, he had some doubts about Evelyn's identity, now he is probably even more suspicious.

It's just that he still needs the help of Evelyn and Xu Nan for the time being, and the temptation is just by the way.

"I don't know what the attitude of the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess is towards Caesar's descendants......"

"It's really unpredictable that this Quelas does strange things all day long, and it seems that Paradise Lost doesn't seem to have any information about him, which is really strange."

Xu Nan's mind was running fast.

The information that Paradise Lost does not involve means that the other party has an extremely terrifying ability to keep secrets; And in this case, everyone in the Shadow Realm can find out that Geralt is the illegitimate son of Quelas - they deserve to be responsible for Paradise Lost!

Evelyn was still using her eyes to consult Xu Nan's opinion.

Xu Nan thought about it and asked bluntly:

"Everything has a motive."

"I think that Queiras wants to advocate justice for little Jasmine, I'm afraid the purpose is not so simple, right?"

"Just like the legendary wanderer of the Shadow Realm who threatens you...... Your purpose is the drum of time, right? ”

Quellas's face sank, and it was clear that he had already guessed that the course of the conversation would inevitably be inseparable from this pocket watch.

He shook his wrist and took out a delicate pocket watch from the pocket of his underwear.

"That's right." Quellas did not deny it.

Evelyn is not a fool, and neither is this Mr. Sue.

"The Drum of Time is a certified artifact of the head of the Atsam family, and it doesn't seem to be a precious magical item in itself."

Evelyn looked at the pocket watch with some curiosity, and if there was anything special about it, it might be that the time was more accurate - but it wasn't unusual, as many high-end magic clocks had a similar self-calibration effect.

This trait alone will never attract the covetousness of Grand Magicians and Legendary Wanderers.

"What I'm going to say next is the main reason why I use enchantments."

Quill Laston paused, his eyes steadfast:

"In addition to being the head of the Atsam family, the Drum of Time also has a role."

"It's a key."

"This key can open a treasure that is buried with countless treasures. I have little interest in most of the things in this treasure, but there is only one thing that I have been searching for for years and have not been able to get. ”

"I helped the poor child, on the one hand, for the sake of justice, but in the process I seemed to have been misled in some way, which led to a mistake in my judgment, which was my great fault; On the other hand, I do hope to use the Drum of Time to unlock that treasure. ”

"There's no shame in that, everybody loves treasures, everybody has their own motives. I think that the powerhouse of the Shadow Realm also has what he wants, and it is also in this treasure. ”

Treasure!

Frost Winter Treasure. Appeared!

Xu Nan's eyelids jumped slightly. Sure enough, things point directly to the Frost Winter Treasure mentioned by the Paradise Lost system.

Quellas shouldn't be lying, but what Xu Nan didn't expect was that the clues would be so simple and direct.

The pocket watch in Mirren's hand is the key to the treasure of Frostwinter.

"I have questions." Evelyn said calmly: "If the Drum of Time is the key to an important treasure, and the previous master, Young Master Mirren, is just a weak man, and he doesn't have a strong guard by his side, and the Cold Ridge Valley is sparsely populated, whether it's you or the Shadow Realm Wanderer, you should be able to get your hands on it easily, right?" ”

This is also Xu Nan's question.

If their purpose is the drum of time, why make a big fuss? Wouldn't it be easy to find Mirren directly, killing people and grabbing treasures?

Quelas smiled bitterly:

"First of all, it's useless to get the key, you have to have someone from the Atsam family holding the key to really open the treasure."

"Secondly, Young Master Mirren lives in seclusion, and spends most of his time hiding in the castle in the Cold Ridge Valley, and it is impossible to do anything outside the castle; And that castle, hehe, you may not believe it, is protected by the will of the plane! ”

Xu Nan was slightly stunned, and Evelyn was also a little dazed.

Plane will, this statement may be a bit mysterious for ordinary people, but Xu Nan understands it very well.

This thing is the equivalent of a plane dream and a star spirit!

But hadn't the dimensional will of the universal world, that is, Lannice, long since left? After she left, the will of the plane was still in effect?

Quellas goes on to explain:

"It may be because of the bloody battle of Atsam in the abyss back then, which moved the will of the plane, so the settlement of the Atsam family has been blessed by the will of the plane, if anyone dares to break in, whoever dares to do anything to harm the descendants of Atsam in the castle will be permanently cursed by the will of the plane."

"The devil lord of Tunguska is naturally not afraid, he has been cursed by the will of the plane ten thousand times, but I and the people of the shadow realm do not want to offend the will of the plane."

"So we've all chosen to start with something else."

Xu Nan sneered in his heart.

Just now, he said that it was to claim justice, but now he bluntly said that he couldn't move Mirren because he was hiding in the castle and had the protection of the will of the plane.

This magician is real enough.

To put it bluntly, are you afraid of being cursed by Laneth? It's a pity that Lannice has disappeared now, and I don't know how long it will take for the universal world to reunite and give birth to a dimensional will?

Retract your thoughts.

Judging by Quelas's description, he may not be lying. After all, it's all at this time, and the fact that Geralt is his own son shouldn't be nonsense, since he has a request for Evelyn, he naturally wants to win the trust as much as possible.

It's just that I don't know if he is hiding anything.

Xu Nan didn't trust this guy very much anyway, maybe he was naturally skeptical of divine arts other than Qin Lele.

But leave the specific decision to Evelyn.

Although he also likes Geralt's, the stakes are high.

Evelyn nodded, muttering for a moment:

"If we need to do something, what do you need us to do? What risks do we take? What do we get? ”

Geralt looked overjoyed.

Since Evelyn said so, she naturally decided to make a move.

No matter what angle it is, it is wonderful good news for him, who has been calculated by the powerhouses of the Shadow Realm to be passive in every way.

"I will go to the appointment with the drum of time according to the time and place on the ransom letter."

"I hope to use the strength of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mr. Su as my backup."

"The location mentioned in the letter is actually not far from the Temple of Tasar where I live, but I don't dare to gather the people of this city, because it has been occupied by the Blue Coat Sect, and I suspect that someone in the Blue Coat is colluding with the people of the Shadow Realm!"

Quellas said quickly. His thinking was clear and he seemed to have come prepared.

"As for the reward, as long as this matter is successfully resolved, I will go and open that treasure, and when the time comes, I will only take one treasure inside, and the rest of the things, the two of you can take them!"

Evelyn and Xu Nan glanced at each other, neither of them very satisfied.

This old boy deserves to be a great magician, how can he calculate, this is purely an empty glove white wolf!

Before the treasure was seen, it began to write blank checks.

Evelyn heard something else, and she asked with some surprise:

"Two? Do you mean that just the two of us are needed? ”

Quellas nodded, "Crowds are more powerful, but they tend to attract the attention of wanderers, don't they?" ”

This is even more suspicious.

As a lord, she shouldn't have risked her life, with a status like Evelyn, there may not be many legends under her hands, but there must be a lot of quasi-legends, and she will most likely send a few masters to help instead of taking action in person.

Like Xu Nan, who is the city lord, but running around and playing is an extremely rare neurotic physique...... Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that there are not many masters under him, and it is all tears when he talks too much.

Queras designated Evelyn and Xu Nan to make a move, but it looked more like a trap for the two.

What if Geralt's alleged kidnapping was directed and acted by Quelas and the Shadow Realm?

Did Grey get the information that Quelas deliberately gave it to him?

According to the intelligence capabilities of the Shadow Realm, nothing is impossible.

After experiencing so many things, Xu Nan's ability to calculate has also increased to a certain extent.

He said decisively: "Instead of this, it is better to be more proactive." ”

"Why don't we just go to them? Before you meet, find them and rescue Geralt! ”

Quellas was visibly stunned, he didn't seem to have thought about the plan at all.

After a while, he said sullenly:

"I'm not good at divination and tracking, and the Shadow Realm Wanderers have a natural advantage in this regard, and I don't think we'll be able to find their current home."

Evelyn's eyes lit up: "Got a clue?" ”

Xu Nan nodded: "Give me some time, I'll go to the toilet." ”

He left the room and quickly pulled out a freshly baked note from the original chest:

[Qin Lele: I found a fat sheep! 】

It was a message he had received suddenly half a minute earlier, and the little girl looked very happy.

Xu Nan replied quickly: Is your fat sheep a middle-aged honest uncle who looks honest and does his duty but is quite likable?

[Qin Lele: Xu Nan, are you spying on me? ] 】

Xu Nan: Is his name Geralt?

[Qin Lele: Wow! Voyeur plus tracking stone hammer up! Say, do you like me, don't hide it, come out quickly. 】

Xu Nan: ......

Xu Nan: Where are you?

……
