Chapter 759: Shifting Places
Although the decision to leave the manor as soon as possible was quickly decided, after leaving the manor, where to live became a problem, because they were not one or two people, set up a dozen people, and the ordinary hotel probably could not accommodate so many people, and even if they could, so many people with obvious characteristics lived together, I am afraid that they would soon be known by the Count of Brita, and then they might fall into an endless interception.
"I have a place where I might live. At this time, Dandrion suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at Dandrien, waiting for him to give an answer, but Geralt looked at Dandrion thoughtfully, as if he had guessed the address Dandrion was going to say, and asked in a deep voice, "Is that place okay?"
"Absolutely. Dandrion smiled confidently and said, "He's dead, after all, isn't he?"
"Tell me, tell me, where the hell is it?" asked Angulan anxiously.
"Beran Manor. Dandrion gave the answer.
Most of the people present didn't know where the Belan Manor was, but if they could call it a manor in Towcente, it could be seen that this place was definitely not small.
Only Regiel was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said, "It seems to be the resort estate of the Grand Dukes of Touscent, right next to Lake Seravi. ”
Hearing this, those who were familiar with Dandrion looked at this fancy-dressed companion quite the same, and Angulan said directly: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, uncle!"
Dandrion rarely looked embarrassed, but he didn't refute everyone's speculation.
"Can you still go to Beran Manor now?" Geralt asked in a deep voice.
"Absolutely. Dandrion straightened his chest and said with great confidence.
Seeing Dandrien affirm this, Geralt immediately thought of something, and said in surprise: "Have you been to see the Duchess? When did I remember that you have been with us since you came to Tousent?"
"It's not always together, you forget, two nights I was out on business. Dandrien explained, "Originally, Anna asked me to go to live in the manor, but I preferred to be with my companions, but when Anna left, she said that she had informed the manor and that I could come at any time. ”
Although Geralt and the others' conversations were a little clueless, it was enough for Leo and Sylvia to hear some clues, and it was obvious that this fancy man Dandrien, who had never been looked at by them, had an unusual relationship with the Archduke of Touscent, and was close enough to go in and out of the Grand Duke's resort manor at will.
Leo and Sylvia looked at each other at this time, and quickly exchanged opinions, obviously contacting the Archduchess through Dandrien, and then the sorceress who was the advisor to the Archduke, was obviously more effective and shorter than their previous plan to participate in the Knights' Conference.
This also made them change their original intention to wait for this matter to be understood, and then part ways with Geralt and the others, at least until they came into contact with the Grand Duchess, they would stay with Geralt and the others.
Leo and Sylvia didn't need much to say, just a look to understand each other's thoughts, at this time, Sylvia asked tentatively: "The Grand Duke's manor is just for you to live in, you will not have any trouble with so many of us now, right?"
Dandrion immediately shook his head and said, "No, Anna is very good, she doesn't care about this, if I have the opportunity, I can introduce you to you, I believe she also wants to know you, the Knight of Light." ”
When Sylvia heard this, she just took the opportunity to say: "Since this is the case, then I will trouble you to introduce it at that time." ”
Dandrion thought about the rest, patted his chest and said that it was on him, and the others didn't think much about it, only Regiel looked at Sylvia and Leo thoughtfully.
After everyone made the decision to leave Britta Manor and go to Beran Manor, other problems were solved, after all, Belan Manor is the Grand Duke's manor, and there will not be too many problems in terms of security, and Count Britta will have concerns about what he wants to do, such as things like directly hiring mercenary groups to attack Beran Manor.
Although the survivor's family didn't understand why they had just settled down and had to leave, they knew very well that Geralt and the others were their only lifeline, so they didn't dare to complain about anything, and honestly repacked the things they had just taken out.
Leo planned to take advantage of this time to sell the horses and armor on hand, but Regiel stopped him and said: "Your Excellency Leo, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to sell these horses and armor like this, these horses and armor have the imprint of the Chifeng Mercenary Regiment, and ordinary horse merchants and blacksmith shops may not dare to accept these things." ”
"What then?" Leo asked, frowning.
Reggier offered to help, and said, "Leave it to me! I used to live in Towcente for a while, and I have some connections, and I can eat these horses and armor, and I can sell them for a good price." ”
Leo thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Regier." ”
As he spoke, Leo handed the reins to Regier.
After taking the reins, Regiel led the horse out of the manor.
When Leo returned to their room, Sylvia was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going to sell the loot?"
"I met Regier. Leo told Sylvia that he had just met Regier and that Regier had offered to help them sell their horses.
"Does he have such a good relationship with us?" asked Sylvia, confused.
"It should ...... It's not that good!" Leo carefully recalled the process of his study with Regiel two days ago, and found that Regier's attitude towards himself was more similar to the attitude of those researchers of the Earth Federation towards special cyborgs back then, completely treating him as a research object rather than a friend, and Regier's reaction just now was obviously a little abnormal.
Sylvia guessed again: "It was you and I who showed strength that he recognized, and he regarded us as friends because of this." ”
Leo pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "It shouldn't be, he shouldn't be the kind of person who values strength, otherwise he wouldn't be friends with Dandrion and Angoulan." ”
Sylvia nodded in agreement when she heard this, and fell into deep thought again, and after a while, she suddenly looked up and said, "I know why his attitude has suddenly changed so much. ”
"Why?" asked Leo.
"Because I was a little too deliberate when I said that Dandrion would introduce the Grand Duchess. Sylvia said with great certainty: "Regiel thinks that we are deliberately contacting Geralt, just to use Dandrion as a springboard to contact the Duchess, maybe there will be some misdeeds." ”
"What does this have to do with helping us sell our loot?" Leo said, puzzled.
"Quite simply, if we really want to do something to the Duchess, he doesn't think the two of us alone are enough, so there must be accomplices. Sylvia smiled and explained, "He helped you sell the loot, and I'm afraid he didn't want us to leave Geralt and their side and go outside to contact the so-called accomplices, as long as we watched no matter how big the conspiracy was, it would be useless." So, if I don't think he's bad, he's got someone to spy on us among Geralt's people. ”
"I think I know who the person is watching?" After Leo heard Sylvia's words, the spirit network also discovered an abnormal situation outside, only to see Angoulan sneaking on a tree, looking at the room here, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "We should explain the situation to them directly, so as not to have a misunderstanding." ”
With that, he got up and prepared to go and talk to Geralt about them.
"Don't!" Sylvia stopped him and said, "We don't have anything to do during this time anyway, so we can find something to do so as not to be bored." ”
Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo instinctively wanted to object, because his reason reminded him all the time that such an approach would only create chaos, but Leo was just familiar with the emotions of ordinary people who agreed with Sylvia's proposal, and the emotions seemed to take over, suppressing the idea of explaining the situation to Geralt.
In this way, both Leo and Sylvia pretended not to know anything, packed their bags, and went outside.
The others had already packed their things, and Geralt did not say anything after asking about Regier's whereabouts, but asked Dandrion to lead the way to Beran Manor.
In order to avoid being ruined, the then Duke of Toussaint issued a decree prohibiting the cultivation of land and plantations next to Lake Seravi on the grounds that the fairies in the lake were the fairies of the lake.
It is precisely because of this decree that the area around Lake Seravi still maintains the topography of primeval forest, and it has become the preferred place for locals to visit.
However, while Lake Seravi has been able to maintain its pristine landscape, it has also made the forests around Lake Seravi a habitat for those monsters.
Because the water veins around Lake Seravi are well developed, and various small rivers and streams flow through the land at the foot of the Gaugon Mountains, where the hardy grapes have been cultivated, and the vineyards have been vigorously developed, and the monsters that originally inhabited the lake have either been destroyed or driven away, and most of these monsters have been transferred to the primeval forests around Lake Seravi that have been preserved due to the ban, except for a few who have migrated to the deeper parts of the Gaugon Mountains.
The locals naturally know that they only need to follow the perimeter of the Duke's Manor to safely walk through this forest and reach the shores of Lake Seravi, because the Duke's Manor will let the Duke's Guard clean up the monsters in the manor and the nearby forest from time to time.
But there are exceptions to everything, there are always some outsiders who are reluctant to pay that little commission, and hire locals to take the safe road and venture through the presence themselves, and these outsiders who are lucky enough to escape alive, and those who are unlucky will die directly under the siege of the forest monsters and become food for the monsters.
Now Leo, Geralt and the others are such stingy outsiders, and like their predecessors, they encountered a lot of monsters not long after entering the forest.
However, this is not because they are stingy with the little commission for the locals to lead the way, nor because they are asking for trouble to deliberately walk through the forest inhabited by a large number of monsters, but simply because Dandrien, when the party reached the forest next to Lake Seravi, said that he knew a shortcut, and instead of taking a long detour and taking the road next to the forest, he went directly through the forest to reach the Duke's Beran manor.
At that time, Geralt, who knew Dandrion very well, said that he was unreliable and should take a safer path, but then Angulan met some people from the Chifeng Mercenary Group in nearby towns, which made everyone think that it might be more suitable to take a shortcut in the forest, even if Leo and Sylvia repeatedly said that they had the ability to deal with the Chifeng Mercenary Group, everyone also felt that it was better to take a shortcut in the forest.
After all, there are only two people in Leo and Sylvia, and if the Chifeng mercenary group has a large number of people, the two of them can't take care of it, and once the war starts, the family that follows them may suffer.
It's just that after entering the forest and encountering several sieges by monsters, everyone began to regret why they didn't choose to take the avenue, but believed the nonsense of Dandrien, who has always been unreliable, and took what kind of shortcut.
"It's not a way to go on like this, let me perform a witchcraft and solve this problem!" After splitting a giant centipede, Leo's spirit net looked around and found that there were still many monsters waiting for an opportunity to observe, so he turned to Geralt and said.
"Does that sorcery cause a lot of damage?" Geralt said, a little worried.
Leo explained, "No, it's just scaring the monsters away. ”
Geralt nodded and agreed to Leo's proposal, and then Leo told everyone not to look at him, and then used the power of nightmares to adjust the energy aura on his body, and the form of the Stone Throne appeared in his mind.
In an instant, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze, and the rustle of the original monsters moving disappeared, and then the ground shook slightly, and everyone could feel the surrounding monsters frantically moving away from them as if they were fleeing.
And with Cassirer, Mirwa, Angoulan and other ordinary people could only feel an invisible power emanating from Leo's body, Geralt, who had a source warlock, could clearly feel the terrifying aura on Leo's body, this terrifying aura was beyond any existence he had ever seen, even if the most powerful warlock he had ever seen was as small as an ant in front of this terrifying aura, he could even feel that this terrifying aura not only brought pressure on the mind and soul, but even felt that after a long time, the heart and soul would be distorted by this terrifying aura.
However, Leo quickly dispelled the illusion of the Stone Throne in his mind, lifted the energy fluctuations on his body, and allowed them to return to normal.
Everyone sat on the ground at this time, regardless of the image, and even Sylvia was affected and had to grab the saddle to keep her body from falling to the side, and Geralt landed on the ground with a sword, looked at Leo with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Leo, you are so terrifying. ”
