Chapter 1434 1406. Analysis of confusion
"What what?"
Siledon held this strange metal rattle helplessly.
He asked Lan En.
That night, his mind was already chaotic and tense due to being drugged, and now it was almost going blank.
What does 'after ringing the bell, make it clear that you are doing me a favor'?
Who do I need to make it clear to?
What happens when you ring this bell?
But Sileden looked at Lan En's back walking away in the long and luxurious corridor without looking back, and at the scene outside the window next to him that reflected the red light of the city wall.
He still stamped his feet and gritted his teeth, then turned around and trotted away again.
After all, he still trusted Lan En as a friend, and no matter what, he gritted his teeth and came out of the family bank not to let his career turn into a pile of charred ruins!
"Shit! Shit!"
The red-bearded dwarf cursed in a low voice, but carefully held the strange and gloomy metal rattle in his hand, and ran towards the outside of Aretussa with a pair of short legs.
And just as Siledon rushed back to the workshop area at the base of Goss Velen's city wall outside the academy, Lann, who had torn off his collar that was in the way, also entered the banquet hall again.
At this time, the magic candlelight in the banquet hall still showed no sign of dimming, but there were not many people left in the banquet.
They all have their own rest and fun.
When Lan En passed through the corridor of the dormitory before, he heard the heavy breathing of the men and women inside, as well as the undisguised screams.
Along with the annoyed complaints from those who were woken up in other rooms, the similarly panting artist in a nearby room seemed to applaud the happy screams.
Lan En turned a deaf ear. After arriving at the banquet hall, he glanced briefly and then walked in the direction of Tissaya.
Triss and Margarita are still with Tisaya.
"Oh, look." Margarita had already drank until her face was red and her eyes were blurry, but she still noticed at a glance that Lan En's neck collar was torn, and said teasingly, "Honey, which sorceress is it?" Can't you help but want to use force on you? "
"This is too disgraceful. Especially since she hasn't succeeded yet."
But then, Margarita and the others saw the look on Lan En's face.
It wasn't the embarrassment and impatience caused by being pestered by some **** sorceress.
The coldness of that expression was self-evident, and the seriousness of that expression was ready to come out.
If there were just one or two young women, there would be no way for Lan En to put on such an expression.
"Something is wrong."
He no longer cared about the gazes of the remaining people in the banquet hall.
Lan En bent down directly, got close to the sorceresses' ears, and spoke in a deep voice.
He told the sorceresses about the strange phenomena suffered by various forces and industries under his name during this period, as well as the various people with small thoughts at the banquet where the atmosphere was not right.
Tissaya simply listened with a frown the whole time.
"Is this all speculation?"
There was a sense of disbelief, or resistance to belief, in Tissaya's words.
It is such a troublesome thing to connect all parties and unite forces in a chaotic situation.
"Suppose we want to catch the traitor among the warlocks from the northern countries," Margarita suddenly said and looked at Triss, "then it must be a joint action by the four northern countries!"
"Triss, have you received the notice? You are Foltest's royal advisor!"
"Not all royal advisors can be trusted." Lan En said in a deep voice before Triss could speak.
"But Triss is very close to me, and my position is well known to everyone. She is very credible from the standpoint of the north and the south. But when it comes to the standpoint of the northern kingdom, me, and the warlock, she becomes untrustworthy. ”
Lan En shook his head as he walked: "The situation is very complicated. We can't figure out who is telling the truth, or who is only telling half the truth."
"Yes, the situation is very complicated." Tissaya continued without stopping at this time, "Thanks to Yennefer for bringing that Ciri to the academy, so we have the valuable ability to distinguish the facts."
"Wait, what do you mean?" Lan En frowned and asked, but Triss and Margarita looked confused.
At this time, they had already reached the bridge where Lan En and Wilgefortz were talking before. The sea breeze was salty and cold, and the moon was halfway through its journey in the sky.
"[Demon Source]!" Margarita said decisively, "Let a [Devil Source] fall into a trance state in contact with the magic power of chaos. In this state, she will be able to make prophecies!"
"No, we don't need Ciri to predict the future, we just need to pass through the trance state of her [Demon Source]," Triss pushed her burgundy hair behind her ears.
"Asking clearly about what has happened will be clearer than vague prophecies, and it will not put any burden on Ciri himself. The most important thing is"
"The [Devil Source] in a trance has no ability to lie."*3
The sorceresses finally said in unison.
"This is a well-known axiom." Disaya said coldly, "No matter who is up to the trick, if he or she dares to make trouble in front of me and in front of this fact, I will let him remember it! "
Unprecedentedly, Lan En saw Tissaya looking so angry for the first time.
But after a rare outburst, Tisaya turned her head and looked at Lan En with a look that was almost mixed with persistence and pleading.
"Lan. I will never let my academy become a battlefield! No one should die in Arethusa! This should be a place for rational meetings, not a killing ground where conspiracies are intertwined! No one should bleed here. !”
"We must suppress the conflict to the smallest scale." Tissaya said, stopping on the bridge, turning back to look at the beautiful and huge castle that was still brightly lit.
"I will start to open the forbidden magic circle in Gastang Palace. In this way, at least the conflict between the warlocks will not tear down the entire island and cause countless casualties. But..."
However, now that the college's guards have been infiltrated, who knows how many more people have come in!
Warlocks without strength are vulnerable to professional soldiers and even armed bandits.
"Then leave it to me."
Lan En said decisively.
"They are looking for trouble for me, trying to make me spend the night putting out fires, distracted and confused."
"They estimated my strength, they estimated the strength of my castle, my knights, my workshops, and then, with complete preparation and confidence, they wanted to crush these things."
"But to be honest," Lan En's smile contained a hint of sarcasm, "I don't know how they dare to think that they have seen through me?"
Dark clouds covered the moonlight. Lan En stopped on the bridge and watched the three sorceresses walking towards the second tallest tower on the island.
But suddenly.
"Crash!"
The pendant around Lan En's neck began to shake, and Tissaya, who had already walked away, stopped at the same time, and then her steps became even more hurried—
Someone's starting to work magic in Arethusa!
