Astartes of the Bear School

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.

"Is there any evidence, Lan En? I can't just assume that someone at this banquet and the meetings that will last for several days wants to carry out a coup just because you said a few words in front of me, right?"

The atmosphere of this banquet was strange, but this strange feeling only appeared to those who had grasped all kinds of information.

Those ignorant and insensitive warlocks are still addicted to feasting and dissolute fun. In their eyes, this banquet, where the female and male companions could find separate rooms and get entangled, was no different from before.

Isn’t this what all sorcerer’s banquets are like?

Those dissolute people, at least this time, did not start looking for excitement in the corner of the hall where the banquet was held.

Lan En was not surprised when he looked at Tisaya, whose eyes were filled with resistance.

This venerable sorceress is indeed powerful and knowledgeable, but she has been away from the current political situation for a long time.

This resulted in her lacking sensitivity and insight into the situation within the Northern Kingdom or between the North and the South.

But Lan En did not give in under Tisaya's resistance. The witcher still looked at the sorceress with great seriousness and seriousness.

"Are you serious?" Tissaya was silent for a while, then subconsciously adjusted her collar and cuffs, and said, "Are you sure there will be a coup? Tonight?"

"There is no need to delay." Lan En explained in a straightforward manner, and then turned around to look for him, "Dijkstra. Where did the spy chief go?"

Triss frowned and recalled, "I saw him going out with Philippa."

Margarita also slapped her face with her hands, trying to wake herself up: "They definitely didn't go out to find a room to have sex! Philippa hasn't been interested in men for a long time!"

"So this is Philippa's fault again?" Speaking of this unparalleled sorceress, Tissaya seemed to have accepted Lan En's statement that "there will be a coup".

Tissaya said angrily in a low voice: "The real ruler of Tritog, the real manager of Redania, [Pure White] Rafad's most outstanding successor, the great Philippa Eilhardt Now you want to find a reason to eliminate dissidents among wizards?"

This kind of performance made Lan En couldn't help but examine what kind of image Philippa had in Tisaya's mind.

Tissaya has always disapproved of the sorcerers being too involved in politics and seizing the power of mortals.

It's not that she thinks warlocks shouldn't manage mortals, but she and Henry Gedimitis, the two 'ancient wizards', still believe that warlocks should focus their energy on opening up the path to magic.

Being distracted elsewhere is not doing your job properly. And now, in the capital of Redania, the sorceress Philippa Eilhardt, who is almost unrivaled in Tritog's court, is undoubtedly the kind of person that Tisaya dislikes the most.

Next to Tissaya, Margarita also looked sympathetic.

It can be seen that even among the sorceresses, Philippa Earhart's love for power and manipulation and her skill in manipulation have almost become a stereotype.

"I don't know if Philippa did this to eliminate dissidents."

Lan En frowned and spoke sincerely but hastily.

As he said this, he immediately took action and pulled Tissaya out of the banquet hall.

The remaining people in the banquet hall were in twos and threes. Under this scene, some even whistled, cheered and clapped.

But Lan En and the three sorceresses were in a hurry.

"Djörkscher's conversation with me made me think that he was here to find traitors. Now that the situation between the north and the south has become acute again, it will be impossible to save the situation without internal purges. Under this situation, his behavior is reasonable."

"But based on your understanding of Philippa, you think she is taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents and persecute innocent people."

"But now, in the High Hill Castle and the Workshop District, it is obvious that there is a force within the Northern Kingdom that is trying to make me exhausted to put out the fire."

Are the kings in the north trying to take action against Lan En and the warlocks?

Is Dijkstra really completing the internal purge in order to face the Civil War that is destined to be more explosive in the future?

Was it Philippa who was using her power for personal gain, and just wanted to find an excuse to eradicate dissidents in the circle of sorcerers?

have no idea. uncertain.

No one’s thoughts can be written all on their face. Everyone is looking for allies, but everyone is unsure of others' positions, so they can only speak vaguely and express their thoughts with hints.

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!
