They stayed only one night at the royal palace in Sintra and left early the next morning.

Gerd got along well with the King of East, one from the Arc Coast Duchy and the other in the Skellig Islands, and they even began to discuss fishing techniques later on.

However, because of his promise to Len in the Crypt, Ged needs to follow Len into the Amer Mountains and work with him to find the dwarven settlements in the mountains that have cooperated with the Bear School.

He didn't understand why Lan En didn't even want to stay a little longer, but for the sake of his promise, he still followed.

"It's a pity, Sintra's pork bone soup is amazing."

Even as the group walked out of Sintra, Gede's mouth was still pounding like an aftertaste.

Three witchers, as well as a barber assembled at the city gates, four men and four horses, walked leisurely on the trade roads in the wilderness.

"Just because of the pork bone soup?"

Regis had a teasing smile on his face.

"I remember the women in Sintra being very passionate. They also have a special affection for rough, strong men like you. ”

Gerd scratched his cheek, but after a night of not shaving, stubble began to appear on the man's face.

"It seems that a maid took me back to my room last night and did something. It's a pity that I drank too much last night, and I didn't feel anything, and they were really enthusiastic. ”

"From the perspective of the living environment, this is a natural aesthetic tendency. Sintra is on the front lines of the North-South conflict, and the pervasive sense of crisis makes women more inclined to find someone who gives them a sense of security. ”

Regis made a rather scholarly statement.

"Biologically, a man with a loud roar, a heavy body odor, and a strong man is undoubtedly a better choice."

"Biological?" Cohen frowned slightly at the word.

"We generally only use this term when learning the habits of monsters, and when it is applied to humans, it seems."

Regis bowed slightly on horseback.

The smell of herbs mixed with his body kept the other three horses unconsciously away, but the one under his ass seemed to be used to it, and did not react.

"Ah, if my words make you feel offended, then please accept my apology. But please also understand that the animality of man cannot always be excluded when discussing such issues. ”

"No, I can understand this statement, it's just that I don't quite fit into this academic style of language, after all. You know that, right? The daily life of a witcher has nothing to do with any of this. ”

Cohen nodded indifferently in response to Regges's debt.

"That's exactly what happened." Lan En patted Popai's neck as he joined in the discussion.

"Regis, I know you're erudite, but you mix up academic jargon when talking to a bunch of rough people. Well, I really don't know if your EQ is high or low. ”

"Sorry again, but this should be a habit of mine? If you want to change it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. ”

The three witchers could tell that Regis's subconscious meaning was: he could change it, but he didn't want to change it.

The three witchers could only look at each other and shrug.

"Okay, okay!" Gede cried out in a depressed voice, "I wonder if our conversation just now went to the little thing under the woman's skirt?" How can it go around and around and still be 'academic'! Meritelli, I can't stand this! ”

Now at a fork in the road, Cohen tugged at the reins and let his horse stop.

"Alright guys, the unbearable happy hour for Gerd is coming to an end, and we're not going to go any further."

The witcher of the griffin school, who had received the standard education of a knight, smiled and bowed to the other three on horseback.

Temperament can largely mask looks.

At least Gede felt that even the acne marks under his beard were now inconspicuous.

"I want to thank Regis for his magic and healing, and most importantly: for his witty yet knowledgeable speech."

Cohen salutes in the direction from left to right.

"Thanks also to Gede, I am impressed by your courage and enthusiasm. Finally."

Finally, Cohen's expression became serious.

"Lanne, I will do my best to fulfill your commission and deliver this letter to our mutual friend, Geralt of Rivia, as soon as possible."

Lan En nodded.

"I'm sorry, Cohen. But this is really a hurry, but I can't let the contents of this letter spread on a large scale. After all, there are things like political intrigue and blood that are a headache involved. I've only written three letters, one to Geralt through my channels, one to the royal agent in Sintra, and one to you. ”

Speaking of this, Lan En sighed helplessly.

"I left Geralt a way to contact me, but the stubborn white wolf never came to me. Hmph, I guess he's also scared of getting an answer from me that he doesn't want. But it can't be helped, the answer is the answer, an unbiased answer. ”

Cohen nodded in understanding and patted his chest.

"I don't know what's in the letter, and I don't peek at it. But as I promised, I will get it as soon as possible. ”

"Thanks, Cohen."

"You're welcome, you've paid the bill, it's not just a friend's help, it's a commissioned mission. Looking forward to seeing you in Kylemohan, Ranne. ”

The reward for the mission of seven hundred crowns, Rann took three hundred, and gave another hundred to Cohen. In the end, it was the griffin school that made the biggest money.

Cohen's horse drifted away on the fork in the road, hooves splashing mud on the road.

——

After seeing the witchers of the Griffin School leave, the team of three headed south from Sintra.

The Amer Mountains are on the other side of the Yaruga River, and if you want to cross it, you have to cross the river, that is, into the territory of the Nilphgadians.

A few decades ago, news about the Southern Empire had only appeared on the lips of the most knowledgeable and experienced people in the northern states.

But today, they have become an unavoidable problem for northerners.

Because they annexed the entire south of this continent.

The small and scattered states that had once served as a buffer between the north and the south all became the new provinces of Nilfgaard, and the northerners were forced to have a powerful new neighbor.

This kind of annexation, at first glance, sounds like Qin Shi Huang has a sense of déjà vu for Qin Shi Huang to unify the six kingdoms, that is, it sounds both emotional and enthusiastic, as if a new era is about to be opened.

However, when Len actually came into contact with the 'provincial people' who had been annexed, and learned about their words and deeds.

Only then can he more clearly perceive the nature of this behemoth in the south now.

Just like now.
