Chapter 782: Dangerous Thoughts

After deciding to put the object in Leo's hands, Sylvia recounts Leo and her idea of forcing the demon out of her eyeballs and then extracting the demon's secrets from the demon's mouth.

Hearing this, Frigila was completely shocked, and looked at Sylvia and Leo as if she were looking at two madmen, and couldn't help but say what she thought in her heart: "You are crazy! Do you know that it is a demon? It is not some little monster like a demon that appeared when the celestial spheres meet." ”

"Of course we know what it is. Sylvia said calmly, "Don't you think this is a good opportunity to learn about the demon, this demon is at its weakest now, and with Leo by his side, we won't be in any danger at all." ”

Hearing Sylvia's defense, Frigila was about to refute, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't say anything, and a contemplative look appeared on her face, obviously she also felt that Sylvia's words made sense, and now was indeed a good opportunity to learn about the demon.

"What are you going to do with this demon in the end?" asked Fringilla, after thinking for a long time.

Sylvia didn't answer, but looked at Leo, who said, "If you can kill him, you will naturally kill him, but unless you pull the demon's body into this world, it is impossible to kill him, so it is better to send him back to where he came." ”

Fringira nodded and said, "If you want to send the demon back, I can't do it alone, I need to find someone who has experience in the study of demons." ”

"Can anyone from the outside come in now?" Geralt, who had not spoken, suddenly frowned and asked.

"Of course not, the wind and snow outside are so strong that even the portal can't pass through. Fringira shook her head and said, "You may know that man, he is Aalto of the Blue Mountains, and he happens to be in Towcente right now. ”

"Aalto of the Blue Mountains, I know him, I've read his Encyclopedia of Monsters. Geralt nodded, then asked suspiciously, "I thought he was dead on Sunid." ”

"No, although he used to be a member of the Warlock Brotherhood, he was not keen on power and only liked to study what he liked in the library on Sunidland, so when the incident on Sunnid Island happened, neither side regarded him as a target to be eliminated. Fringira explained, "However, after the incident on Sunaid's Island, the Warlock Brotherhood was disbanded, and he was also exiled. Because he was more of a scholar and didn't have much ability to survive outside, he got a bit miserable, and after being stranded in Nilfgaard, he was caught by the hunters there, and then I met him, and I rescued him and brought him here. ”

"Does this Aalto of the Blue Mountains know a lot about demons?" asked Sylvia curiously.

Frigila replied, "Not just demons, he knows anything about monsters. ”

Leo asked, "How long will it take to get him?" ”

"One day at most. "He didn't like annoying Bockland, so he chose a remote elven ruin as his dwelling, and it would take at least a day to get to Bockland," said Fringilla. ”

In this way, Leo and the others decided to wait for the arrival of Aalto of the Blue Mountains, and then find a way to force the demon out of the eyeballs, and then imprison the demon, and torture the secret about the demon from the demon's mouth.

"That's right! Just after deciding on the matter of demons, Sylvia suddenly thought of something else, pointed to the garden outside, and said, "In your garden, is there a stone pillar in front of the statue in the center of the fountain?"

"Yes, it's an ugly stone pillar! How do you know?" Frigila was stunned, nodded in acknowledgement, and questioned again.

This time, it was Leo's turn to confirm, "Is there a large number of monster reliefs carved on that stone pillar?"

"Yes. Frigila nodded again, quickly realizing that the pillars in her garden might have something to do with Leo's adventures in the underground ruins.

Then, Leo briefly talked about the magic array that summoned monsters in the elven kingdom.

Hearing that her garden turned out to be a summoning magic array, Frigila's face became extremely ugly, but at the same time, she felt extremely happy.

Because when she first built the manor, she disliked that the stone pillar was too ugly and moved the stone pillar away, otherwise, if this magic array suddenly activated for some unknown reason one day, and summoned a large number of monsters, she would not only be in danger of her life, but she might even be considered to be doing some dangerous magic test afterwards to summon the monster, in that case, even if she was eloquent, it would be impossible to explain it clearly, and her aristocratic status at that time might not be able to save her.

"I'll destroy the pillar as soon as possible. Fringilla recovered a little, and then said categorically.

Sylvia stopped by saying, "Wait, that's not what we meant, it might be better for this thing to stay." ”

Geralt sensed Sylvia and Leo's thoughts very keenly, and said, "You want to summon monsters through this summoning magic array?"

"You're crazy!" said Fringira, glaring at Leo and Sylvia with some annoyance, "This is Bowclan, the center of Tousent, and if something happens here, Touscent will be ruined." ”

"Don't be nervous, of course we know how serious the consequences will be," Sylvia smiled very calmly and said, "But is it really as dangerous as you think? As long as we are prepared, there will be no danger at all, and don't forget that Leo has killed so many summoned monsters underground." The summoned monsters are very rare materials that you can't get anywhere else. ”

Obviously, Sylvia's words made Frigila a little moved, if Sunnid Island was still around, Frigila might not have any interest in this proposal, because any kind of alchemy materials and spell casting materials can be bought on Sunnid Island, but now that Sunnid Island has been destroyed, it has become extremely difficult to collect materials.

A top sorceress like her is not bad, she joined the Sorceress's Guild, and she was able to obtain some resources in the Sorceress' Guild, although it was far from being comparable to when she was on Sunnid Island, but compared to other warlocks and wizards now, it was already very good.

But even so, she couldn't get a lot of scarce materials, which made some of the spells and potions she had studied before have to stop, so she was now extremely hungry for all kinds of rare materials.

Although, she may not be able to use the materials obtained from the summoned monsters, but she can use these materials to exchange scarce materials with others, in the current environment, ordinary materials can still be bought with money, but those scarce materials can't be bought even if you have money, you can only exchange.

"Follow me!" Frigila said in a deep voice after thinking about it for a long time.

"Wait!" Geralt grabbed Fringilla's arm and said, "I don't think it's a good idea. You must know that these summoning magic arrays are arranged by the elven kingdom in order to die with the enemy, no one knows what will be summoned from these summoning magic arrays after they are operational, don't forget, in the underground ruins, this summoning magic array even the demons have been summoned, if we ......"

Before Geralt could finish speaking, Leo stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, with me, what you are worried about will not happen." Then he said: "Besides, we are just going to see the stone pillar now, and we don't plan to summon it now, and we don't have a clue whether this summoning magic array can run and how to run it, and it is still unknown whether it will be able to summon something in the end, so you are worried about it a little redundant now." And I don't think Frigila would have activated this summoning magic circle without any protection. ”

Frimpira glanced at Geralt and said, "Of course, this is my home, and I don't want to be like those madmen who ruined my home for the sake of the so-called experiments." ”

Seeing that the words had already been said about this, Geralt couldn't say anything more, let go of Frigila's arm, and then walked with Leo and the others, led by Friengira, towards the warehouse of the manor, where there were some things that Frigila thought were valuable and reluctant to throw away.

After arriving at the warehouse, Frigila found the housekeeper and opened the warehouse door, only to see a large number of waste items piled up in the warehouse, and it was dense enough to see what was inside.

Just as Frigila was about to ask the servants to clean out all the contents of the warehouse, Leo stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "No need to clean up, the stone pillar is not in the warehouse." ”

Just now, he had already checked the situation inside through the spirit net, and the stone pillar was not inside.

Friengira didn't know how Leo knew that the stone pillar wasn't in the warehouse, so she asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure. Leo said in a deep voice.

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly interjected and said, "If you are talking about the stone pillar on the fountain in the garden before, I know where it is." ”

"You know?" said Frigila, frowning, looking at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper reminded: "Master, you have forgotten that two years ago Baron Josh borrowed some relics from the elven kingdom from you, and you sent them to him with that stone pillar at that time, and told him that the things were given to him and there was no need to return them. ”

"Baron Josh?" Friengira thought for a moment and said, "The same Baron Josh who suddenly committed suicide a year ago?"

"Yes, it's Baron Josh. The housekeeper nodded and replied.

At this time, Frigila's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at, as if she had thought of something bad.

And Geralt, who was paying attention to his lover's state on the side, also seemed to think of something, and said: "This Baron Josh will suddenly commit suicide, could it be related to that stone pillar?"

Hearing this, Fringira glared at Geralt with some annoyance, and then waved her hand at the housekeeper, signaling that she could leave, and then complained to Geralt: "Don't you know what you can say and what you can't say? ”

Geralt knew that he had done something wrong, and he didn't refute it, but just smiled apologetically, and looked like he was letting Fringira beat and scold.

Seeing Geralt like this, Fringira couldn't say anything, not to mention that there were two outsiders next to her, Sylvia and Leo, so she changed the topic back to the stone pillar and said: "Baron Josh is a distant cousin of Anna, and I have some kinship, he is a native of Niffergaard, he only ran Touscent three years ago, and then bought an old manor on the edge of the Carroberta Forest, rebuilt the old manor, and completed it two years ago. After it was finished, he was going to hold a drinking party in the manor, and he needed some relics from the elven kingdom to decorate the manor, so he came to me. I never liked the pillar, so I gave it to Baron Josh at the time. ”

As she spoke, she stopped, thinking that this was not the place to speak, and led everyone back to the study, poured herself a glass of wine, and said while drinking: "A year ago, Baron Josh suddenly went crazy in the manor and killed everyone in the manor, including his family and servants, because this incident was too weird, plus some other reasons, so it was only announced that Baron Josh committed suicide. Later, the man who received the estate of Baron Josh cleaned up the estate and bought a foreign vintner, who also went crazy and killed the people of the estate after a month of moving in. Since the vintner had no heirs, the estate was also taken over to the Ladyess, and I went to check it out and found nothing out of the ordinary, but the news of the estate had spread in Towcente, and no one would buy it, and the estate was abandoned. ”

"Is that baron and vintner strong, capable of killing a man of an estate by himself?" asked Geralt suddenly.

Fringilla shook her head and said, "This is also a strange place, in fact, the Baron and the vintner are not in good health, they are inferior to ordinary people, and it is very difficult to kill a person, let alone an entire estate. ”

"I'll do it!" Leo took the initiative to stand up and said: "If the things in that manor are really related to the stone pillars, I also have experience in dealing with them, if not, I will see if I can find out the problem, no matter how bad it is, I can move the stone pillars out of the manor." ”

Although Geralt was also very interested in this matter, she looked eager to try, but was stopped by Frigilla, because she had gone to the estate to investigate the cause of death of Baron Josh and the vintner, although she could not find anything, but instinctively felt that it was very dangerous, so she quickly left the manor, and also advised the Duchess to abandon it.

She felt that such a sorceress still felt dangerous, let alone a witcher like Geralt, and if she went, it would only become a burden for Leo, but she did not directly say what she thought in her heart, but used a tactful word to save Geralt a little face.
