Chapter 174 Vesemir, do you want a wife or not?
I don’t know if it’s due to the evil taste of fate, but love stories rarely have happy endings. Especially in this era, and especially in the aristocratic families of this era.
"The happy time lasted for a while. But then, we were discovered by my father...Vesemir escaped in such a hurry that he even forgot about his soft armor." Mrs. Minor's tone changed at this time.
Very disappointed, "My father issued an arrest warrant for him and quickly married me off."
Lann asked with great interest: "That's the armor of the Wolf Faction, right? I heard that you have always liked to collect collections related to witchers. I guess that is your first collection."
Mrs. Minor nodded reservedly: "My later husband passed away very early and left me a lot of property. So I became a lonely and wealthy woman, who could only live in memories. These collections will allow me to obtain
A moment of warmth.”
After hearing about Vesemir's romantic history from a first-person perspective, Lann was in a great mood. He was now a member of the Griffin Faction. If the Wolf Faction were here, he might not be able to hold his tongue at all.
"Well, Mrs. Minoru."
Lan's eyes were full of sincerity: "I'll take you to Vesemir!"
…………
In response to Lan's invitation, Duchess Minore burst out with astonishing enthusiasm.
In particular, Lann also selectively showed several letters written by Ciri to himself. They did not involve any secrets about Cintra or Lan himself, but only described the friendship and warmth between Vesemir and Ciri.
of interaction.
I don't know what she thought of, but Mrs. Minor's eyes softened when she looked at Lan.
It's just that before departure, Mrs. Minor needs a few days to make some preparations and explain some things. After all, she has a noble status and has countless properties in her name, so she can't just leave.
Lann expressed his understanding and provided some help in the process.
As for how Mrs. Minoru got to Kaer Morhen? Of course she relied on Triss's portal. Triss even made a special trip first to tell Vesemir the news.
Lan asked curiously: "What was Vesemir's reaction?"
Triss smiled and said nothing.
Lann asked again: "What was the reaction of other members of the Wolf Faction, such as Geralt?"
Triss fell to the ground laughing.
Since then, Maximilian Posodi's House has also been safely included in Lann's [Inventory].
In the [Heart of Stone] series of missions, there is still the [Party in the Underworld] that summons Olgierd's deceased brother and the BOSS battle [Memories of Marriage].
These two tasks involve relatively far places.
[Party in the Earthly World] needs to go to the family cemetery of the Everec family, where Olgierd’s younger brother Vladimir is buried; and [Marriage Memories] needs to find the ancestral manor of the Everec family, Olgierd’s
The wife is under house arrest there.
What's a little more troublesome is that both of these places are in the Niu Fort area; although these two places are on the edge of Niu Fort, it takes more than a day of horseback riding to go back and forth.
Moreover, Lan only knew the approximate directions of these two places.
Lann decided to let people go out to inquire about the information first. At the same time, he also asked the temple guards to propose the idea of meeting Chapelle, hoping to learn the specific location of the Everrick family manor through the information about the Eternal Fire, so as to save time.
"Gang riots have become more frequent recently. Mr. Chapelle took people out personally. However, he has confirmed the itinerary with me before and will come to see you tomorrow. It should be about the follow-up matters about the toad monster."
This passage came from Chapelle's adjutant, who was responsible for recording Chapelle's schedule. At this time, he had a lot of respect for Lann's attitude: "Thank you for helping us get rid of that monster. It killed a lot of people."
Our brothers."
Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Lan had no choice but to return to his residence. House, who went out to inquire for information, also brought unexpected information.
"The place where Olgierd lived was burned down by him?"
Facing the Earl's doubts, House nodded: "It was a huge fire. There was almost nothing left in the manor, and it is said that the fire started not long after we left."
Lann couldn't help but think of what the Mirror Master had said to him before: Reigns had found Olgierd.
"So we have lost track of Olgierd now?"
House nodded shamefully.
This was not over yet. After bringing the bad news about Olgierd, House continued: "Your Majesty, our soldiers on guard have reacted in the past few days. People in cloaks often appear around our courtyard.
"
"You mean there are people watching us?" Lann frowned, "Who are they?"
House's face turned even darker: "We...didn't catch them. Their movements were so flexible that even experienced scouts couldn't keep up with them."
They appear to be professional tracking personnel, with at least strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
Lan asked again, "How many 'cloaked men' are there in total? Can you know this?"
House nodded and said, "Based on their size, there are four cloaked men appearing before and after."
…………
Four men in cloaks were sitting in a corner of the basement. Their breathing was weak, and their bodies and chests were almost invisible under the cover of cloaks.
There were many disputes in front of them, but the four of them remained unmoved, as if they were four sculptures or four poisonous snakes entangled in an ambush.
This is a spacious basement. The decoration style looks a bit like an underground vault. At this time, it was transformed into a simple underground conference room for the use of those who are currently inside.
A round table was placed in the middle of the basement, with five people sitting around it. There was a silver candlestick in the center of the round table, emitting dim light, drawing out the shadows of the five people.
Looking at these five people, they are a slender man wearing a cloak, a stout dwarf covered with tattoos, a gloomy middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, a scar-faced man wearing iron armor, and a nomadic man in a diagonal-breasted suit.
Warrior in robe.
The samurai in the diagonal-breasted robe was the first to break the silence: "We are indeed 'plotting' now, but there is no need to just light a candlestick, right? Could it be that the three friends opposite have lived in the dark for so long, even with candles?"
Are you tired of it all?"
"Ogierd, they are also our companions, and they will fight alongside us in the future." The scarred-faced man in iron armor said dissatisfiedly, "Maybe you can endure your temper for a while and listen to what they plan to say."
These two people were naturally Olgierd and Riens. They met on the outskirts of Novigrad and now came to the underground world of Novigrad.
Clearly they need more allies.
In front of them was another important political component of Novigrad - the gang.
Novigrad is the "City of Freedom", which is the view of the North; but in the eyes of Vizmir II, the real name here should be "the land of lawlessness".
Because of the existence of the eternal fire, the king's decrees will be hindered at all levels here.
This place has not been under actual rule by a king for nearly two hundred years, but Vizmir II was helpless.
It's just that the political power of religion is definitely not as comprehensive as an orthodox kingdom, which is why Novigrad's underground forces, known as gangs, were born.
Don't underestimate these gangsters.
At the critical moment of the future Civil War, both Nilfgaard and the North recognized that "the key to the war is to obtain Novigrad", but at this time the gangsters dared to preach that "if Novigrad is captured, burn it down"
He captured the fleet, robbed the treasury, and turned this city into a dead city."
In this way, Radovid V and Emhyr turned against them and had to reach an agreement with the gangs.
In front of us are the three current gangsters in Novigrad.
This situation may be difficult to understand in other countries and cities, but in Novigrad, the freest, most prosperous, and most chaotic, the power and wealth of the three giants can even exceed that of ordinary established nobles. Perhaps in official status
They are nothing inside, but in Novigrad, they are all "uncrowned kings".
The three giants in front of us are:
The man who took charge of all thieves, assassins, beggars, vagrants, street orphans, and the self-proclaimed "Beggars King" in Novigrad, Francis Beland.
Alphonse Willy, the leader of the mafia family nicknamed "Hawthorne", is in charge of all the casinos, arenas, and women's wards in Novigrad.
And the dwarf nicknamed "Cache", Carlo Varese, is in charge of most of the alleys and taverns of Novigrad, uniting all non-human races.
Faced with Reigns' words, the three giants had different reactions.
"The news from the North will converge to Novigrad, and the news from Novigrad will converge to me." The Beggar King said in a calm tone, "As far as I know, Mr. Riens seems to have been in the North.
I searched for information about Mr. Lannister, but unfortunately I always suffered losses, so why are you so confident this time?"
Machete was furious: "Don't just call people 'companions'. Don't think I don't know. You warlocks are all racists! If you talk about fighting side by side, you might end up trying to dehumanize us again."
On the front."
Hawthorne looked around with gloomy eyes: "This dark and damp place is disgusting. I might as well choose to be in the machete's bathhouse. Reigns, you'd better talk to me quickly if you have anything to say."
The words of the three giants made Riens' expression become more ferocious, but he stroked the scar on his face with his left hand, and after taking a few deep breaths, his mood gradually calmed down.
It may be difficult to tell from his appearance that Riens is still a warlock, but he is still trying his best to maintain his so-called "demeanor" at this moment.
"Mr. Belan's information is indeed very good. I have indeed been wandering in the North for a long time, but this time is different."
Reigns opened his arms, making his shadow even bigger under the candlelight: "This time, I brought the promise of His Majesty Emhyr var Emres, the emperor of Nilfgaard. It's not my invitation now.
You cooperate with me, but His Majesty the Emperor invites you to cooperate with Nilfgaard!"
Seeing that the expressions of the Big Three finally became more serious, Reigns showed a satisfied expression on his face.
"His Majesty the Emperor's trade policy must have brought a lot of benefits to everyone during this period." Riens said, "A wider variety of commodities and lower prices have brought more benefits to everyone present.
.After this cooperation, Nilfgaard will continue to increase its commercial tilt towards Novigrad. What this means, everyone should know better than me."
Hawthorne sat up straight. His property was most closely related to what Riens was talking about. At this time, he was already thinking about it in his mind.
The Beggar King said unhurriedly: "Nilfgaard has not even entered Cintra yet. Is it too early to start planning for Redania now?"
"No, no, this time is not about politics or war, it is just pure business. In the subsequent commercial tilt, you can gain a greater say in Novigrad by relying on your industry."
Riens shook his head and said: "And if one day His Majesty really comes to Novigrad, all of you who have already established friendship with the Emperor will be able to take a further step in the new order. Why not?
