121. Reasonable speculation
The commander looked at the two soldiers beside him, and he tried to twitch his arm, but found that he was not moving.
Looking behind him, nearly a hundred soldiers all looked at him with resistant and panicked eyes.
These expressions and moods are all because of the person opposite.
Each of them knew how well-defended and powerful the manor was.
And because of this, a person killed from it is much more terrifying than a living dragon!
- Those people in the manor can slaughter seven or eight dragons without breathing!
The commander is now very sure that his subordinates will not let him talk "nonsense" here, even if they try to knock him out on the spot.
Nearly 100 of them still want to see the sun tomorrow.
Lan En slowly lowered his hand to draw his sword, he had already seen the situation on the other side.
This is a bunch of pawns who have been pushed over in the chaos to check on the situation.
In the darkness of the night and the firelight, the witcher turned his head slightly and looked to his side.
The commander across from him also followed his gaze.
A red-haired beauty in a tight leather suit is approaching from a distance.
She looked serious and secretly clenched her fingers.
When she was still more than twenty meters away from the two sides of the confrontation, Triss loudly identified herself.
"I'm a royal advisor, Triss Meligard! I'll take care of tonight's incident! β
She didn't say who came on her orders, only her identity.
Advisors to the royal family generally only have the power to execute and recommend orders, and rarely act as the issuers of orders.
On weekdays, the commander will be the first to notice this kind of mistake, and remind and ask about it.
But now, the commander, who found that the situation was far beyond his expectations, naturally accepted the command.
As long as you accept the command, then the biggest pot will not fall on your head.
"Thankfully! What a blessing, ma'am! We've got a headless fly with an idea! β
This time, the commander easily broke free from his own men's grip, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to the royal advisor.
The sorceress ignored him, just nodded slightly. Then he looked at the blood flowing from the manor, swallowed nervously, and walked directly in front of Lan En.
"You put Count Stessa."
"He's dead, there."
As he spoke, Lanne's chin lifted slightly in the direction of the count's corpse.
Compared to Triss's apprehensive mood that was visible to the naked eye, Lan was very calm.
After all, he had just smashed the noble man's head into an oval.
Triss pursed her lips until she confirmed that the shaped-face belonged to the once mighty Earl.
She still had an incredible emotion.
Such a character who coughed twice and was about to shake Temoria died so suddenly?!
Standing up from the corpse, Triss took a deep breath and commanded the commander.
"You are not allowed to go in, and make sure that no one else goes in. Keep the site intact, understand? β
"Your will!"
After receiving the order, the commander was as if he had received an exemption book, and he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted yes.
He then ordered nearly a hundred of his men to be scattered on the outside of the manor's walls.
Although it didn't really work, the attitude was very positive.
After sending the security forces, Triss pulled Lan and hurried away.
On the surface, it looks like he is looking for a secluded place to discuss confidential signals.
But actually
"I'll open a portal, or outside of Vijmar last time I arrived. Let's go, Lanne! Don't even go to Eretusa, just leave Temoria! β
Triss tugged at Lane's hand, and although the tingling sensation was now more intense like a tide, the tension was so tense that losing her head could dilute any lust.
"I thought you were here on orders."
Lan asked quietly.
"Orders? The great nobles of the country, who are only under the king, have been approached by a lone witcher overnight! Slaughtered like a dead dog! Who could have predicted this? Who has the courage to call the shots now when the king is away? I'll tell you the truth, it's a mess in the palace now! β
"That sounds like you're taking too much risk on this trip, Triss."
"yes, I think it's too risky, too."
Triss turned sharply and looked at the calm Lanen, an inexplicable anger welling up from her heart.
"For you, for a witcher I've only known for less than a week, I got involved in the death of Styza without orders and in a mess!"
"I'm a sorceress! My extraordinary abilities have given me a transcendent status! I could have watched as it happened, and it didn't affect me at all! Whether Foltest wins everything or Stetsa takes the throne, they can't do without royal advisors! β
"But now. But now"
"I'm sorry, Lane. I know very well that the reason I'm here is because of my own moral urges, that I hate slavery, and that I can't stand by and watch. But when I see you, I can't help but feel angry. Even if I knew, I shouldn't blame you for losing everything I have now. But I just couldn't help it. β
In the face of Triss's annoyance, Lan pursed his lips in understanding.
"Your status and power are rare things, I can understand this feeling. Woo! β
Ryan said, and suddenly Triss's beautiful eyes with anger approached him.
As if to bite him, the lips of the two pressed against everything.
Apparently out of anger, Triss behaved uncharacteristically aggressively.
It was she who hugged Lan En's head tightly, and it was she who pushed Lan En's head away from her.
"Phewβsince you understand, get the hell out of Vijma! Leave Temeria! You troublesome spirit! β
Lane still had a little aftertaste of this fierce but sweet first kiss, and in the blink of an eye, Triss pushed him away.
With one hand, a portal opened in the air.
Opposite the door was the sight of the dark water.
"Tell me before you go, Lanne. Did you find the kids? β
Triss asked solemnly as she maintained the magic of the portal.
Speaking of this, Lan En's expression also turned positive.
"They were in the basement of the manor with one of the witchers who had been implicated. I didn't take them out on the spot, and you can contain them on behalf of the royal family. β
Hearing that the children had not yet been transported south, Triss hung her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she heard Lan En's suggestion later, she smiled bitterly.
"I've taken a big risk tonight, do you know how much trouble you've gotten into? These kids and that witcher maybe"
"Just do it, Triss."
Before Triss could elaborate on her concerns, Lan interrupted her in a relaxed tone.
The sorceress looked at Lan En in disbelief for a moment, who turned around and was about to walk into the portal.
"Wait! Do you know what? β
"Speculation." A finger stretched out from Lan's back. "A reasonable assumption based on the existing situation."
Before the sorceress could ask about the endless words, Lan En asked one more question.
"When will Foltest come back?"
"Probably. I'll be back through the portal, tomorrow at noon. β
"Faster than expected, but not a bad thing. When the king returns, you can just say we're friends, Triss. β
Triss was confused, but it was too late to ask, so she could only watch as Lan walked into the portal.
Tonight's Vijma, no one sleeps.
