417. Departure

This space in the middle of the reef is not small.

It's like a natural culvert with the sea on one side and no shelter.

At high tide, the sea level will maintain a one-metre difference from the culvert floor, and at low tide there is no need to worry about the sea water swelling up.

In the sound of "bang-la-la", the salty sea water lapped against the reef, breaking into smaller droplets and splashing around.

It makes the air moist and salty.

If you are an ordinary person, you should probably worry about whether you will get rheumatism and bone pain.

But not to mention that Lanne's bones are now transforming into space marines, and Margarita alone, she won't let her witcher live in an uncomfortable foothold.

"A magic array, so that the temperature here is like spring all year round, and the humidity is suitable."

Margarita lit candles, torches on the walls of the culvert.

In terms of furniture, it is basically the same as the standard rooms of Eritusa, with eiderdown bedding, double bed, solid wood wardrobe, and large storage compartments.

To be honest, if you like to listen to the sound of the waves, maybe it's quite comfortable to live here.

The sorceress extinguished the magical light in her hand and looked at Lan En expectantly in the natural firelight.

The witcher, on the other hand, groaned for a moment with his chin touched.

"Why don't you call this the Bat Cave?"

The sorceress's expectant face suddenly fell, "What are you talking about?" ”

"No, nothing." Young people drive the idea of secondary two diseases out of their heads. "It's a nice place, thank you, Rita."

——

This culvert will be a small and secret personal stronghold for the witchers in Erethusa.

Lan En took out the doll from the alchemy leather bag and placed it on the chair.

This puppet from Yanan is as beautiful and authentic as when Lan En first met her. Some even seem scary.

But it's also a high-tech art and souvenir, so let's keep it here as a collection.

The alchemy leather bag had been freed up a lot of space at this time because of the removal of the puppet, and it took Lan En a whole day to get out of the alchemy classroom in Erethusa.

He refilled the potions, alchemy bombs, and dried alchemy ingredients that he had consumed before.

After a final night of 'goodbye' to Margarita in that silvert where the waves were constantly roaring, it was time for the witcher to set off for his armor upgrade plan.

He will set out from the culvert, where there is a small boat that has been magically held in place, which Margarita has prepared for witchers who have never sailed on the sea.

The boat would automatically correct its direction as soon as he got up, and he just had to row hard.

The destination is a beach outside the city of Gos Willen, where a family of fishermen live.

The dean of Eritusa greeted the merchants who provided the academy with their catches, and they told the fishermen to keep an eye on the boat and wait until the witcher's next arrival before handing it over to him.

The fishermen don't know anything, they don't know anyone, and their family just takes money to do things.

This method of getting in and out of the academy is not cumbersome, and even has a bit of a spy flavor.

But this kind of cumbersomeness expresses the current situation from another aspect -

The situation on the mainland is heating up.

Lan sat in the stern of the boat, paddling in his hands, but his eyes were thoughtful.

The situation is heating up in an inexorable state.

Spies and spies from various countries are going crazy and busy like hornets that have been stabbed in their nests.

They eagerly watched all the noteworthy figures, hungrily gathering all the noteworthy information.

For example, their own intelligence, such as the intelligence of Eretusa.

It's all because of the war.

The atmosphere of war is like a knife to a person's throat.

All those in the know are manic about it.

War is to be expected, because war must ultimately serve politics, and as long as you understand the current political situation on the mainland, you will understand that war is not far off.

But war is unpredictable, because even the archmage, the spy chief, or even the emperor and king within the walls of the palace cannot know exactly when, where, and in what form the war will break out.

Judging from an absurd assumption, perhaps the soldiers of the North and the South were just strained for a long time, causing them to insult each other without controlling their emotions during a passing meeting, and finally drew knives and saw blood, so the situation was out of control, and the war came suddenly like an earthquake.

It's not impossible, on the contrary, it's something that happens a lot in history.

Thinking of this, Lan En shook his head as if he wanted to put aside his distress, and his hair, which was as bright as melting silver, flew in the sun.

War, this should not be what he thinks.

He is a witcher who does not serve 'people', and most of his battlefields are not even in this world.

"I've been gone for a few months, and maybe the next time I come back, this war, which I don't know when it will start, may be over."

Lann thought so as he parked the boat in the small harbor that the fisherman had built.

After turning ashore, Popai had bolted to the wooden railing on the side of the road.

The witcher didn't stop, in fact, the more simply he left, the less information he could leave behind.

The hooves of the Popai horses galloped again through the wilderness of Willen.

Willen is still the same as before, with sometimes gloomy and sometimes bright skies because of the sea.

From time to time, there are swamps and mud pools on the ground, and a few houses with thatched and wooden planks scattered in the wilderness, even if it is a village.

Wisps of dispensable cooking smoke are now rising from these villages.

The war should not come here, because it is poor and dirty, and the roads are difficult to walk. Nothing other than Goth Willen and Erethusa.

In addition, Temeria is still quite far away from the Yaluga River, which is the border between the north and the south.

If the Nilfgaard Empire were to take action, they would first have to deal with the northern states that were next to the Yaluga River.

Popai stumbled a little as he ran, and Lann's weight made it look a little unaccustomed.

Because the weight of the witcher's bones is skyrocketing.

According to the knowledge gained from the [Memory Deep Dive], the Space Marines will add some ceramic compounds to the recipe after the implantation of the [Bone Strengthening Organ].

These things are used as raw materials for the dramatic increase in bone mass, and as bone strengtheners.

The hormones secreted by the [Bone Strengthening Organs] will give the Space Marines the ability to digest and absorb this compound.

The formula for this compound is also in memory.

This had to make Rann sigh again, Belisarius Kaul seemed to have thought about everything, and when he cultivated Nivelle, he had stuffed all this knowledge into it.

Just to make it smooth for Lan En to receive knowledge.

Based on Nevelle's memories, Lane used his alchemy talent to successfully synthesize the ceramic compound in the laboratory.

By the way, I also made a combination of flavors such as chicken flavor and pork flavor.
