Chapter 1174: 1156 Nannick

Chapter 1174 1156. Nannick

This cave dug from the mountain is very different from ordinary caves.

The further you go, the hotter it becomes, without any shade as it should.

By the time we were completely inside, the temperature was already quite hot. And it was hot and humid.

Full drops of water hung on the moss-covered rocks and dark rock walls.

There are plants all around. They spread out from cabinets, flower pots, and sinks, competing for territory, causing the leaves and stamens to be contaminated with soil.

With just a quick glance, Lan En recognized many rare herbs, and even plants that had been declared extinct in Arethusa's library.

An old woman who was dressed similarly to Grandma Aurora, but whose body was more stout, was rolling up her sleeves and working among the lush plants with scissors and a bone stick.

The lighting in the cave turned out to be pretty good. When Lan En looked up, he realized that several large holes had been dug out and sealed with crystals.

"Aurora, you don't have to come down today. It's very hot here."

The fat old woman pruned the plants with vigorous and skillful movements. Although she said "it's very hot", surprisingly, she felt as dry as in autumn.

Standing up with the bone stick that had just been used to turn the soil, Sister Nannik turned her head to look at the entrance of the cave, and then raised her eyebrows.

"Aha." The rich old woman shook the bone stick stained with soil, "So there are guests?"

Aira stretched out her hand toward the cave greenhouse and looked back at Lan En. What this means is: It's time for you two to talk.

"If I'm not mistaken." Lan En nodded to Sister Aurora, then walked down the last step and entered the greenhouse.

"Is that the five-star leaf mignonette? And the carnivorous flower, the grass?"

Lan En lifted the hood on his head, looked at the rare plants in the cave with great interest, and asked Sister Nannick.

"At least half of the species here are extinct in the outside world."

"Humph." The fat old woman chuckled, "This is the first time I know that the famous [Hunter Lord] is so accomplished in herbal medicine?"

Lan En's hooded face passed through the junction of sunlight and darkness caused by the crystal on his head.

The change in light made his gorgeous silver hair shine for a while, then become silent for a while, and his eyes shimmered, and then returned to normal.

Plus the roaring bear head pendant that had slipped down from the collar of the cloak and was trembling slightly.

This is a demon hunter from the Bear School, tall and handsome in appearance.

Who else could it be?

Nennik completed the check-in process with almost no effort in thinking.

"No, I mainly study alchemy."

Lan En walked up to the wealthy old woman and saluted her.

"Good day, Aunt Nannick."

The old woman nodded casually: "Good day to you, Duke."

This kind of casualness is not a sign of indifference, it feels like he is getting older and doesn't care about things like identity. This may also include a detached attitude towards the world after devoting one's life to God.

And Lan En didn't care. After all, judging from her age, this kind and wealthy old woman looked at Geralt like a child, let alone a young man like him.

"Are you talking about his famous Child of Destiny?" Lan En considered his words, "Officially, we can only sadly think that Princess Xilia has passed away. The better thing is that she is still living somewhere. ”

There is no doubt that Nannick, as a partial insider, heard the overtones in these cautious words.

A slightly relieved smile appeared on her face.

"You seem to be very concerned about Geralt's fate?" Lan En felt a little interested, so he said keenly.

Nennik was silent for a moment, but then spoke out.

"That's because I was not very optimistic about his prophecy before. That prophecy was full of images of sadness and death."

As she spoke, Sister Nannike led Lan En to the back garden of the temple.

The flowers here are luxuriant and neatly manicured. It is quiet and stylish. Most importantly, there are no other people. It seems like a good place for conversation.

Although the temple can be regarded as the territory of Sister Nannike, Meritelli's teachings are tolerant and benevolent. There are also many believers in the temple seeking treatment and help from the outside world, or simple passers-by.

It can be said that people have many eyes and mixed views.

This is also the reason why Nannike needed to give instructions when arranging the food and lodging for ten people just now, because there are many people in this Temple of Melitelli at all times.

If not arranged properly, things will really get messed up.

"Geralt didn't tell me you could prophesy."

Lan En tilted his head and asked, which earned the old woman a blank stare.

"It's not my prophecy, it's 'telepathy' to be precise. It was done by Aurora. The two of them went to bed, and the contact between body and spirit made it very convenient for telepathy."

".Um?!"

The young man was in a daze at first, and then gradually became dumbfounded. Then Nannick seemed to react and quickly added.

"No! It's not Sister Aurora! It's little Aurora!"

"Oh~"

In this way, Lan En showed an understandable expression.

"In order to make Geralt telepathic, you asked the apprentice priestess to sleep with him?"

Nannick patted Lan En's arm gently and said displeasedly.

"Don't tell me, I feel like a brothel madam, young man. This temple is full of young and lively female apprentices who have never seen men. Usually workers come to repair things, and they can stand there happily if they bare their arms. Watch for half a day."

"Natural sexual desire is natural and beautiful, child. Geralt was strong and single at the time, and little Aurora was very interested in him. Plus she had psychic talents, so I left it alone. "

The young man shrugged. He was used to the world's openness in gender concepts. Moreover, Meritelli does not have faith in the concept of a virgin goddess. The images of pregnant women and old women in the three incarnations all have maternal qualities.

Therefore, priests and believers have no reason to abstain.

The last telepathy seemed to show a bad omen regarding Geralt and Ciri.

Not only is Ciri Geralt's unexpected daughter, but Lann also cares about her.

But thinking about the life they were living in Kaer Morhen now, it seemed there was nothing to worry about.

Although Lan En had never had much contact with Yennefer, he knew from hearing about it that she was a very powerful sorceress.

I guess one person can hold down both Geralt and Ciri, honestly.
