Chapter 272: The Sorceress's Covetousness
"Do you want to hear what you're talking about?"
Leon rejected Lani's 'marriage proposal' and directly stunned Melina, who was watching.
After hearing this answer, Lani's bright blue eyes suddenly dimmed, and her expression lost its previous vividness, like a cold doll without emotion.
"So so, my king has revealed his true nature?"
"That's right, that's common sense."
"What the hell was I expecting?"
As the stagnant voice of the Goddess of Law fell, the starry sky that had been hanging above everyone's heads shattered like glass, and between the clouds and mist, a pure and flawless dark moon appeared in the false night sky.
Lani's body became transparent and gradually disappeared into the moon.
It's just that Leon kept holding her hand and wouldn't let her go.
"Look, you're in a hurry, can't you wait for me to finish speaking?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who didn't really want to leave, got off the donkey down the slope and returned to the throne with a straight face: "For the sake of how much you have helped me, I will barely give you a chance to explain, but remember, my patience is limited!" ”
Textbook tsundere, Li Ang knows it.
He sat down next to Lani and wrapped his arms around her slender waist: "Here's the thing."
The unique touch of the fiery hand on the cold body made the goddess of law bow her head shyly, but her ears listened attentively.
The two bit their ears affectionately, and the corners of Melina's eyes jumped uncontrollably, but they didn't bother after all.
After a few seconds, Lani stared at her king suspiciously: "You mean to say that the reason why you didn't agree to me just now is because you can't follow me away?" ”
Melina had already confessed to her in advance, and she knew a little about Leon's true situation.
"Isn't it because you have other women that you can't bear it?"
Leon shouted, "Who do you think of me?" Yes, I'm a person who often makes emotional mistakes, but when have I ever lied to you? Every time, what you ask and what I say, there is no concealment. ”
Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded after recalling: "That's right." ”
Although this annoying guy in front of him likes to mess with flowers, he never cheats, and he is clear.
Melina came out at this time to dismantle the stage: "He will only say if you ask, if you don't ask."
"Xiaomei!" Leon glared angrily.
Melina was not afraid, but looked at him defiantly.
So Li Ang made up his mind and was ready to find time to teach Mei Mutou, who had been dancing more and more recently, a good lesson.
It is imperative to revive the husband's program!
It's just that you have to deal with Lani's side first, and most of them are now the goddesses of law, and I'm afraid this husband will not be able to cheer up.
Surprisingly, Lani wasn't offended by Melina's words: "I can't blame him for that, I didn't ask it and that's my question." Everyone is an individual and should have the right to choose whether to say or not to say. ”
"He's done well enough to tell me the truth about what I asked, instead of prevaricating with lies."
As soon as these words came out, Li Ang responded to Melina with a provocative look.
Look, what is a goddess, what is a pattern, you still have to learn this wood!
But in fact, how could Melina, who could use herself as firewood to save the dawn of the world, not have a pattern, she just couldn't get used to seeing Li Ang get cheap and behave.
The princess of the moon is such a stunning and brilliant character, she is blind with him.
"What kind of eyes are you?" Leon asked angrily.
Melina gritted her teeth and said, "Look at the eyes of the scum!" ”
Seeing that the two interacted, Lani was a little unhappy, and forcefully broke Leang's face towards herself:
"Look at me!"
"Okay, good, look at you."
Li Ang looked at Her Royal Highness the princess affectionately, and after a while, he looked at her embarrassed.
"Don't always look at me, talk!"
"Say what?"
"Say what you have to say."
"Oh." Leon pondered for a moment, then said, "I love you. ”
A precise straight ball that hits the bull's-eye.
Lani suddenly panicked, her eyes dodged, her expression was inexplicable, and her whole face hid under the wide brim of her hat.
"Who told you to say this?"
Leon grabbed her hand with the contract ring, put it on his heart, and said sincerely: "My eternal companion, my beloved princess, no matter how long and lonely the cold night is, I will be with you in the end. ”
Under the nirvana called True City, the immature goddess's brain went down directly.
"Okay, I got it."
Melina suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her heart, sour and astringent, like soaking in a jar of vinegar.
Leon seemed grateful and turned his head to look at her.
"I love you too, Xiaomei, we want to be together forever!"
"Hey, that's a lie!"
Melina, despite the disdain on her face, was inexplicably relaxed.
Not only have you chosen your own king, but I also have my own king.
Later, Leon recounted the fact that he could no longer return to the borderland, which Melina corroborated.
Lani thought about it for a long time, but said she didn't need to worry.
She will find a way to find Leon with the borderland, or the coordinates where the world of "Biohazard" is located.
There are a lot of gods and laws involved, and Leon doesn't understand it very well, after all, he is just a 'demigod'.
In fact, Lani also proposed a more radical idea, which he rejected.
As we all know, the Great Blessing was once a part of the world of the Ring, and although the former is now in the form of Leon, there is still a weak connection to the latter, as evidenced by Melina's ability to travel freely.
Lani's idea was to merge the Great Blessing and the Junction again, so that the problem of Leon's inability to return would be resolved.
The only problem is that the border is so large, and here it is not just the area, but also the world level. In addition, this land contains too many mysterious powers that have been handed down from ancient times. Rushing to integrate is easy to spoil the great blessing.
Even Raani, who became the goddess of law, could not do this easily, so she only proposed it as a vision.
During this time, Leon and Lani talk a lot about the intersection of the Ancient Blood and the Celestial Sphere, which inspires her a lot, and she hopes to bring Ciri to her.
"That girl has a bit of a stubborn temper, I'll give it a try."
Melina said meaningfully: "Wouldn't it be easier to make her her own too?" You do this kind of thing a lot anyway. ”
Lani was instantly vigilant, she didn't want to have more 'sisters'.
The current number of sisters is seriously overnumbered, and it has reached the limit of what she can accept, and it would be great if she could eliminate a few.
Li Ang swore and promised: "You can definitely rest assured this time, I have long since changed my ways." Besides, Ciri prefers beautiful young ladies like you. ”
These words reassured Lani and Melina a a lot, but they were more interested in Ciri.
But Leon is not in a hurry to return to the world of "The Witcher", and he is finally reunited, so he should accompany them more. Therefore, it was not until two days later that he reluctantly left the Great Blessing.
Novigre, located in the Kingdom of Redania, is the largest city and main port in the north of the continent, and is often nicknamed the 'capital of the world' by the northerners. Its staggering wealth, influence, and strategic importance are such that even the Nilfgaard Empire has to pay a damn weight to it.
The countries of the North have many fine traditions, but peaceful coexistence is by no means one of them.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the ownership of Novigre.
At first it was part of Redania, then it was included in the territory of Temeria, and after numerous compromises and disputes, the city of wealth and life eventually became the only free city in the north, no longer governed by the two countries.
But places that generally flaunt freedom are not very free, such as Night City.
The same is true of Novigre, where the various forces in the city are intricate, with religious organizations such as [Eternal Fire] firmly controlling the city's management, and the intertwined underground underworld forces are also controlling the lifeblood of the city.
To add insult to injury, the Third War in the North left Novigre's already fragile 'freedom' on a run for chaotic anarchy.
The Eternal Flame ravages spellcasters and inhuman races; Gangsters who originally abided by the morality of the rivers and lakes began to kill each other; Foreign spies also have their own talents; City councillors and pastors do whatever it takes to gain influence.
Once known for its inclusiveness, Liberty City is now filled with the smell of smoke from burning heretics, and the ground is always wet with blood.
Leon slowed down his pace and walked around the city, feeling the customs and customs of the place.
Novigre is a rich and civilized place, with most of the main roads paved with stones, and the buildings on both sides are spectacular compared to other cities. But it's also barbaric, with beggars, thieves, gangsters, and the ubiquitous burning stakes and charred corpses.
Leon walked around and returned to the original point, the gate of Novigre.
Geralt hadn't arrived yet, so he'd have to wait a bit.
In the evening, two tall horses appeared at the end of the road, one male and one female, and the male one with white hair was very conspicuous.
The other lady was mysterious and wore a cloak.
Geralt also spotted Leon on his side, as the latter's height was a bit outstanding.
"I really didn't expect you to come one step ahead of me and take care of everything?"
"All the best." Leon responded with a smile.
At the end of the greetings, Geralt and the mysterious woman dismounted, and the three of them walked into the city.
"I'll introduce you, this is."
Leon interrupted the witcher, "Let me guess, in the process of helping your old friend, you accidentally revealed my identity. ”
"Can't you just reveal your identity?" Geralt asked rhetorically.
At this time, the woman next to him took off her veil, revealing hazel eyes and a face that could be called delicate: "Nice to meet you, I'm Kayla Maze, a member of the Sorceress's Guild, thank you for saving my life." ”
"It's the first time I've seen this way of getting closer." Leon looked at the warlock a few times, "Did I save you?" How do I remember when we first met. ”
Kayla, the sorceress, was visibly disappointed, she had never seen such a man so puzzled.
Geralt saw that the atmosphere of the chat became embarrassed, and said softly: "Kayla came to see you on a special trip, and it wasn't me who intentionally revealed it, it was she who guessed that I had another companion." The main thing is that the information you give is so detailed that it's hard not to be suspicious. ”
"Do you blame me for that?" Leon looked at the innocent demon hunter with displeasure.
Geralt said, "You know, I've never been good at lying. ”
Kayla was amused by the two arguing with each other.
Seeing this, Leon suddenly leaned close to the witcher's ear and asked in a low voice, "Have you slept?" ”
As a result, without waiting for Geralt to speak, Kayla first said categorically: "No! ”
Geralt smiled wryly and explained, "Because I have hidden your existence, Lady Kayla has a lot of opinions about me at the moment, and she doesn't want to look at me directly, let alone anything else. Also, don't go to Yennefer and talk nonsense. ”
"Really?" Li Ang looked at the two of them with expressions that didn't seem to be fake.
Unexpectedly, he kindly taught the speedrunning skills of the side quests, but inadvertently ruined a good thing for Geralt, which is really a sin.
Kayla's face became ugly again when she heard Li Ang say this: "Could it be that I am the kind of woman with water-based poplars in your mind?" ”
"Of course not, I was just surprised." Leon told the truth.
The sorceress in front of her has been greedy for Geralt's body for more than a day or two, and Kayla has a characteristic in addition to her eccentric personality: lustful.
Based on this characteristic, she even specialized in the craft of making aphrodisiacs.
It's not that Leon is narcissistic, he always feels that the reason why Kayla doesn't sleep with Geralt is because she is eyeing herself.
But unfortunately, under Lani's repeated warnings, he has been more clean recently.
Due to the relationship between Her Royal Highness the princess and her doll, the two have always been in platonic love, and intimate contact is limited to hugging and kissing. But this time Lani promised that if Leon behaved well, she could consider reshaping her body, and she also pulled Melina along.
Under this temptation, Leon decided to be a good man for the time being.
"I walked around the city before you came, and the situation is not too good, the spellcasters have been dealt with by the Eternal Flame Church, and they have now turned their attention to the ordinary people who are suspicious."
"Your old lover shouldn't have a good time."
"By the way, Lady Kayla, I suggest you put your veil on to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Kayla's heart jumped, and she hurriedly covered her face.
Geralt said helplessly: "Her name is Triss, and she doesn't need another pronoun." ”
Then he said: "If the situation is really as you say, then the address that Yennefer gave me is probably useless, and it is up to you to know her exact whereabouts." ”
The witcher tries to turn to the omniscient prophet.
Kayla also looked at Leon with great curiosity, wanting to see if he was really that amazing.
"You're used to relying on my abilities, witcher, and that's not a good sign." Leon said with a playful expression, "Yennefer just praised you for being a master of tracking not long ago. ”
Geralt defended himself: "You said that time is precious, and it takes me a lot of time to follow up on clues." ”
Kayla, who was petite in stature, looked up at this and at that, wondering who to choose.
The three of them walked and talked, and finally came to a heavy wooden door in a remote alley.
"We're here, Rotten Forest, and your old lover is in there now." Li Ang stepped forward and knocked on the door, turned back and said, "You're right, time is indeed precious. ”
