Chapter 762: Talking about conditions
The misunderstanding was solved, the estrangement was cleared, and the strength that Leo showed just now was enough to make him just in awe, and more importantly, Leo was from the world where their vampire homeland was located, which made Regiel also have an inexplicable closeness.
Perhaps because they were in a good mood, when the two of them left the cemetery, they cleaned up the cemetery by the way, and either drove away the monsters lurking in the cemetery, or cleaned them up.
After cleaning up the cemetery, Regiel told the news to the citizens of nearby Sweetwater before returning to Beran Manor with Leo.
At this time, only Angouran was in the manor, Geralt and the others were out on business, and Sylvia, as usual, was clearing the neighborhood for monsters and bandits, and she seemed to be enjoying this life as a knight now, and as for the manor steward's words to let them not wander around, it was completely ignored.
After returning to the room, Leo continued to study the contents of those notes, and further transformed them into psionic skills that could be used at any time, and through these psychic skills that were constantly refined and created, he also became more pure and fast in casting crystallization magic, and later he even felt that he could use the crystallized soul sword in crystallization magic to use the thunder spear.
However, this is just an idea, an idea, and there are no specific skills and methods, but he believes that as long as he continues to study along this line, sooner or later he will be able to create psionic skills such as the Thunder Spear and the Thunder Sword.
Sylvia returned to the manor in the evening, and judging from her sinister appearance, she had killed many people and monsters today, and when she returned, she took off her armor and fell asleep in the bathtub, or Leo carried her back to her room.
Geralt and the others all came back late at night, and judging by their faces, it seemed that what they had to do was not going well.
"We're probably going to have to stay here for the winter. Geralt said to Regir when he returned.
"Why?" asked Regier, stunned.
Mirvati Geralt explained: "The area around Towcent is in a blizzard, and it is a huge snowstorm that has not been seen in a century, and the roads out have been blocked. ”
"Blizzard?" Angoulan looked outside, then at some of his thin clothes, and said, "It can't be a mistake!
"Towson used to be the location of the elven kingdom, and there are still a large number of elven ruins here, and there are still a lot of magical powers left in those ruins, and these magical powers have long been the current climate of Towcent. Regiel explained in a deep voice and said, "However, if there is already a snowstorm around Towcent, the temperature here in Towson will drop in a few days, and it will even snow." As he spoke, he turned to Dandrion and the others and asked, "When you came back, did you see those big estates starting to harvest grapes?"
Mirva quickly replied: "Not only did I harvest the grapes, but I also covered the vines with a cloth and built a lot of fires at both ends, which is really a luxury." ”
"Lord Leo, I have something I want to ask, is it convenient for you now?. Geralt suddenly asked Leo at this time.
Leo nodded and said, "Of course it's convenient, let's go for a walk outside!"
"Okay. Geralt got up and walked outside, followed by Leo.
The two walked a short distance through the manor's garden, Geralt found a chair and sat down, and Leo stood beside him, waiting for Geralt to speak.
"Is she okay?" Geralt suddenly asked a question without a clue, perhaps he also felt that his question was a little nonsensical, so he added, "I said Ciri, was she okay when you met Ciri?"
"It's alright!" Leo replied simply.
Although Geralt wanted a more detailed answer, he was already satisfied with hearing these two words.
Geralt fell silent again, as if he was hesitating about something, and after a few moments of repeated struggle, he gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "Did Ciri mention anything about the future?"
"Mentioned. Leo didn't perfunctory, nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "Do you want to know?"
"I ......" Geralt opened her mouth, a little unsure whether to say or not.
"I can tell you what will happen to you in the future, and I can also tell you where Givie Elle is now, she mentioned it at the beginning, and I remember it. Leo said slowly, "But do you really want to know? You know, if I say these things, it may change the future, and the result will be ......."
"I know. Geralt stopped Leo from saying the next thing, "I know, these things shouldn't be asked." ”
Just as Geralt was about to ask about other things, the housekeeper of the manor hurriedly walked over, and after seeing Leo and Geralt, he slowed down and came to the two, and said, "Two, there is an adult who wants to meet the two." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts who the adult was in the butler's mouth.
Leo said, "I'm going to call Sylvia up." ”
In this case, Sylvia, who is also a nobleman, is more suitable.
"Lord Leo," the butler immediately added, "that Lord only wants to see two, not the others. ”
"Hehe!" Leo smiled disdainfully and said to Geralt, "It seems that the lord thinks the two of us are better to deal with." ”
"Let's go, go meet him. Geralt stood up, dusted his feet, and said with a blank face.
The two of them, led by the housekeeper, came to the reception room of the manor, and the housekeeper opened the door, made a gesture of please, and then stood aside, as if he had no intention of entering.
Leo and Geralt stepped inside, and saw eight men standing in the small reception room, six of them knights in full armor, one of them warlocks with various mystical ornaments, and the other of them nobles dressed in sumptical clothes.
Needing little introduction, both Leo and Geralt are well aware of who this nobleman is.
"Your Excellency Capello, it seems that you have really got your wish. Leo came in, ignoring the nobleman and the warlock, and instead greeted an old knight out of the six knights who were guarding the nobleman.
The old knight Capello didn't expect Leo to greet him after he came in, his face showed a little embarrassment, and then he looked at the nobleman beside him with a little trepidation, and saw that he didn't have an abnormal look, so he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly to Leo.
Just like Leo, Geralt ignored the nobleman, looked at the warlock with disdain and said, "Mayogre of Glenberg, I didn't expect that someone like you would be willing to recruit as an advisor. ”
Leo also followed Geralt's words and mocked: "Maybe the person who recruited him is also scum, just right, isn't it?"
"Oh, you're right. Geralt nodded cooperatively, and his eyes were fixed on the nobleman with an ugly face.
The warlock replied in a cold tone, "Butcher of Bravican, no matter how unbearable I am, I am much better than you freak. ”
"Is it so good that you were kicked out of the Warlock Tower by a bunch of townsfolk without even wearing clothes, and I still remember how naked you were, with so white skin and a nice ass," Geralt said as he deliberately and obviously moved his gaze back and forth between the nobleman and the warlock, and then said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, I see, so that's the case, no wonder you, a crappy warlock, are now able to be someone else's advisor, it turns out that it's because of this, understand, understand!"
Although Geralt's words did not have a single dirty word, and there was not even any out-of-the-ordinary content, but when they were put together, they couldn't help but think of a lot of things, and several knights who were guarding the nobles next to them couldn't help but quietly glance at their masters and warlock advisors, especially their butts.
"You ......" The warlock had always been held up by people, and when he heard such words, his heart was immediately filled with anger, but he couldn't find enough vicious words to scold Geralt, and for a moment the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
"Okay, I'm not here to listen to you making fun of each other. The nobleman could see that his warlock advisor could not be the opponent of Geralt, who had been in the market for many years, so he opened his mouth to stop this meaningless battle of words, then looked at Geralt and Leo, and said: "You should know who I am, I hope you can withdraw from the mission investigation I issued, and as compensation, I will pay the cost of the investigation in full." ”
"I think you'd better listen to our offer. Leo ignored the other man's words and gestured to Geralt.
Geralt directly stated the terms they had discussed.
Earl Britta listened to Geralt's offer, his face was always gloomy, and after Geralt finished speaking, he immediately spoke: "Do you think I will agree to such harsh conditions?"
"I think the Earl will agree to these conditions. Leo looked at Count Britta and smiled, "If you still want to sell that plantation at a high price, instead of rotting in your hands, I think you will be more willing to listen to our terms, after all, our conditions are less than the huge profits in the plantation sale, Lord Earl, you will pay less." ”
"I can do nothing!" said Count Britta in a tough tone, "Do you think your words will be believed? Two scheming foreigners, a squad of witchers, your words have no credibility in the eyes of others. ”
"Of course, of course, no one believed our words. Leo chuckled and said, "But we don't need to be believed, we just need to make those who plan to negotiate with you about the transfer of the plantation suspicious, and let your enemies get a handle, in that case, what will be the result, I think you should know very well, Earl?"
As Leo's words fell, the room fell silent for a moment, save for the sound of Count Brita's fingers tapping on the armrest of his chair.
At this time, the knights around the arch guard also quietly put their hands on the saber at their waists with the sound of the earl's fingers, and the warlock also put his hands on the warlock ornament on his neck and his hand into the pocket of his waist, pinching some materials for casting spells, ready to cast spells at any time.
Faced with this situation, Geralt was also ready to cast the Demon Hunter's Seal, and motioned for Leo to pull out the sword on his back if necessary.
In this room, the only one who seems to be the most vulnerable is Leo, he is not wearing armor, nor is he wearing a big sword, in the eyes of the rest of the room, no matter how powerful Leo is, if he loses his weapon, his strength will be greatly reduced.
It's just that they don't know that the most terrifying person in the room is the person they think is the easiest to deal with, at this moment Leo is not using psionic energy, he is imitating the use of blood on Regier's body, using the power contained in the blood, so he doesn't seem to have anything surprising on the surface, but in fact, the power he can exert at this moment is almost the same as his full use of psionic energy.
At this moment, Leo realized that he knew too little about psionics, and he also fell into a misunderstanding, thinking that all the power of psionics came from psionic energy, and the evolution of the body was just to get more psionic energy, and through the imitation of the blood power in the body of a blood clan like Regil, he found that the power of psionics was actually in the evolved body itself.
This also made him instantly understand why he felt that the overall strength of his sixth-level psionic could be so far behind those sixth-level psionic beings in the universe civilization.
You must know that those sixth-level psionics in the universe can already travel through the universe, compete with cosmic warships, and directly affect the outcome of an abnormally small cosmic war, while he, a sixth-level psionics, can only deal with some monsters of the same energy level, which is obviously completely different from the sixth-level psionics in his memory.
Prior to this, Leo only thought that he had not obtained the full psionic skills and could not use his psionic abilities to the extreme, and also felt that this was because the world was limiting his power, and when he used the same psionic skills, he was much worse than psionic people of the same level in the universe.
But now he found that it was not the case at all, it was entirely because his life evolution level had been passively accepting the transformation of psionic energy, and had never actively developed his physical potential, and this knowledge should have been informed by the corresponding psionic master when the third-level psionic evolved to the fourth-level psionic person, and received special training.
But Leo has not received any training at all, although he has instinctively carried out some exercises, but those exercises are not specifically aimed at developing physical potential, but only adaptive exercises to adapt to the body and psionic energy, which cannot play a big role at all, and thus makes him now just a deformed sixth-level psionic, and there is still a very huge gap from the real sixth-level psionics.
