Chapter 1395 1367. Keep an eye on and understand
"What's going on?"
Geralt rode his newly bought 'Carrot', catching up a little with Berengar, and asked.
The two armored demon hunters and their horses looked like they came out of Lilliput next to the combination of Lan En and Qilin.
The velvet ball jumped from one shoulder of Lan En to the other, and its furry head wearing a small helmet looked around.
It and Lan En have been working together for a long time. Although they didn't travel together last time, they still haven't lost their tacit understanding.
This kind of situation only happens when Lan En discovers something.
Unfortunately, the kitten raised its face and twitched its pink nose, but still found nothing.
The young demon hunter, at this time, looked at the meadow not far away with a sullen expression, and sneered.
"It seems that it's not just Ciri who is being traced."
"Even here I hum."
When Lan finished the first half of his sentence, Berengar and Geralt frowned tightly.
The pupils in their cat eyes began to shrink and they followed Lan En's gaze.
It is close to the hill where High Hill Castle is located, so there are no common terrains such as swamps and siltation pools in Willen. It is just a meadow with a few wild flowers.
The ground that is often trampled by wild beasts and monsters is still exposed with loess.
But with the demon hunter's senses turned on, messy and numerous footprints suddenly appeared on the green meadow.
At least ten people and ten horses once stopped and observed this place.
The traces of the horses pacing and grinding their hooves after stopping in place remained in the sight of the witcher, as if they were still vivid in his mind.
From the hill where High Hill Castle is located, you can see ancient oak trees standing on a larger hill in the distance. During local festivals in Willen, the mountain will be very lively.
But even so, the hill where Gaoqiu Castle is located is still inaccessible.
There will be no merchants or cavalry here, because coming here is purely about losing money.
Lan En could even take off his hood and cloak on the way here without any psychological burden.
But it is such a place, and now it is certain that four or five days ago, ten people and ten horses stopped here.
"The person Foltest sent you to raise?"
Belengar looked at the messy meadow in the demon hunter's senses without moving, and whispered words that he didn't even believe.
The Knights of Ember received supplies and even grants from Temeria.
But also because of the remote location and inaccessible places, the delivery time of those supplies is also fixed, and they are delivered for a long time at one time.
Now is not the time to give someone up for adoption.
"It hasn't rained in Velen recently." Geralt's voice was cold, "But we can only see footprints here, but we can't smell the residual smell. There is no smell of livestock or human sweat. There is no smell. There’s no horse shit.”
As he said that, the two people opened their arms in a tacit understanding and hugged each other firmly.
The Ember Knights came out from various places in the castle, and Lan greeted each other.
There is no unfamiliarity between them that occurs between superiors and subordinates after a long absence, or they are forced to pretend to be harmonious. Everything is natural.
In other words, the soldiers who were once led by him would feel unnatural if they entered other military systems.
After experiencing the rhythm that seemed to control all the information on the battlefield and penetrate all the way with overwhelming force, they were no longer ordinary soldiers.
And it seems that Lincoln and the ten people who followed Lan En out last time have spontaneously acquired a special status in the team.
The [Swordgiver] also did a good job.
No one in the Knights of Ember has a half-sword hanging on his waist, but all of them adopt the style of elven long swords.
Between walking and breathing, Lan En could see obvious traces of practicing the sword skills taught by him.
"Master Berengar, Master Geralt."
After saying hello to Lan En, Lincoln also nodded to the other two demon hunters. They were all acquaintances.
However, when he saw the two ladies from Yanan who followed, the secretary of the Knights still raised his eyebrows strangely.
After all, Yanan's dressing style and temperament are really quite different.
"Since you are your Lord's friend, please treat Gaoqiu Castle as if you were at home."
The young Lincoln seemed to be very experienced in entertaining.
"Although judging from your temperament, this castle may seem a bit small, but we will do our best."
"No, there is no need to say such things." Maria took the reins after dismounting, "We are the ones asking for help, and the environment here is also very good."
People from the Knights came to help place the horses, and as usual, Qilin was treated with respect, which made him look arrogant.
"Hey! I'm here to help, meow!"
The flannel ball jumped off Lan En's shoulder and joined the knights very actively.
It was already excited to start the adventure again, purring happily on Lan En's back all the way. Now I can't wait to move my muscles.
The members of the Knights are also familiar with Velvet Ball and are not unfamiliar with him.
Besides, although Elu Cat is small, it is still a human cat that teaches these knights swordsmanship!
"You're very skilled." Seeing Maria and Adeline relax, Lan put his hand on Lincoln's shoulder and whispered to him, "I didn't know you could still do housekeeping work?"
Not far away, Yanan's female hunter had some doubts on her cold and beautiful face, asking the member of the knights who took over the horse.
"Hmm, are the horses always like this here? They seem to be particularly noisy. Or is he sick?"
The member of the Knights who led the horse looked at it doubtfully. He was sure that the horse was very healthy and snorted and neighed from time to time. Was this considered noisy? Aren’t all horses like this?
Next to Lan En, the young secretary's smile remained unchanged and he just answered his master in the same low voice.
"Learned it from Stuart. He is very familiar with the palace butler's routine. He should have been the one to receive the reception, but he said that his ruined appearance would disgrace the guests, so after teaching me for a while, he still left this matter to me. Coming."
