Chapter 70 Xili’s Dream

"I dreamed of Sintra..."

Mossak was still trying to coax a child at first, but as Shiri told her story, his expression gradually became serious.

Shirley said slowly: "In my dream, I saw our castle - it was burning. Many nuns and attendants ran out of it. They were running for their lives, but they were quickly killed by a group of armors with sun painted on them.

The soldiers were cut down to the ground."

Ciri raised her head and asked: "Do Nilfgaardian soldiers paint the sun on their armor? I dreamed about Nilfgaardian soldiers, right?"

Druid silently pondered the words in his head and said: "That's right... maybe it's because some rumors have reached you recently. Words heard during the day sometimes slip into dreams at night. This shows that the little

Xili has also begun to care about national affairs."

Mossack comforted her, but with little success. Ciri's mood did not calm down, but gradually became agitated.

"But..." Shiri seemed to have tears welling up in her eyes, "Those things seem to be real, and they are different from the previous dreams. It's like... they are what I will really see in the future."

Mossak sighed. He had several guesses in his mind and planned to have a chat with Queen Calanthe later.

Regarding Xili, he comforted him: "I will help you pick some herbs later, and I will ask the maid to light them in your bedroom before going to bed. You can have a good sleep tonight."

Xili nodded, wiped her eyes and said, "And..."

Mossack thought, this was very similar to the dream Lan En had told him before.

She has a slightly pointed nose, jewel-like blue eyes, and her auburn hair is tied with a ribbon and combed into an artistic style. The neckline of her dress is very low and embroidered with dense and even golden chrysanthemum patterns. Decorating her

Around her neck was a necklace made of jade, onyx and lapis lazuli. The pendant was a jade cross, which fell exactly between the peaks of her corseted body.

"The druids have told me your purpose of coming. This is great. I never thought that there are such wonderful things as magical ruins in Toussaint! After you finish exploring, I must ask for my

The guard took me to see it too, maybe we can hold a unique banquet there!"

In this country full of surprises, there will be no boring, boring, restless backwaters. The wine of Toussaint flows into rivers, the music never stops, and the songs of birds and beautiful girls are everywhere. The handsome knight comes to call.

When you are young, a girl will never be stingy with her charm."

Duchess Anna looked quite disapproving: "Thank you for coming all the way to greet me. Because Redmond's condition is really unseemly, I can't accept your visit. But I accept your offer."

Yes, although Toussaint is a very independent principality and has its own independent armed force-the palace guard, it is a territory of Nilfgaard.

Toussaint, thanks to its pleasant climate and fertile volcanic ash soil, is rich in grapes and is famous in the mainland for the high-quality wine it produces. It is known as the "Fairy Tale Kingdom" and the "Land of Wine and Love"

.

Lann saluted the Duchess and said: "Thank you, Your Highness. Please allow me to extend my sincere greetings to you and Prince Raymond. I heard that he suffered a sudden illness and was bedridden some time ago. May the prophet bless you.

he."

Lann and his party, who arrived from the northern kingdom where the military was on alert, clearly felt the difference between Cintra and Toussaint.

At this time, they were transported to Toussaint's capital, Beauclair, by Mossac's portal.

Ciri shook her head: "No, Geralt has white hair. That man has blond hair."

["After my parents died, you know that I was seriously ill for a while. During this period, I had many dreams. I dreamed that Nilfgaardian soldiers invaded Cintra, the cavalry crushed everything here, and the fire burned everything here.

Everything. And in the flames, a man with golden glowing eyes gathered the refugees and used magic to protect the remaining seeds of Cintra."]

This place was once ruled by elves for 1,500 years, until it was suspended in the year 781 of the human calendar. Everywhere you look is filled with spectacular and beautiful elven memorial sites: meticulous towers, carefully carved reliefs and mysterious ruins.

"The man with the golden eyes," Mossack inquired, "Is that Geralt?"

"And... I seem to be familiar with him."

She is also very beautiful.

It is hard to imagine that the behavior of "laughing" can also make people feel elegant and beautiful. Any behavior of the Duchess seems to be extremely cleverly attached to these two qualities.

Only a few scorching suns on a black background, and the strange combination of gold and black on the pure buildings, remind people that this living fairy tale land is actually a vassal state of Nilfgaard.

When Lan led Geralt and several attendants to visit her, he saw the duchess talking and laughing with the palace officials.

At this time, Mossack didn't know that this dream was made up by Lan to fool him. He always thought it was true. And after Shirley had the same dream, he was even more convinced of it.

"besides?"

…………

"Lord Lannister, you are indeed a dazzling knight as the poem says." The Duchess laughed loudly.

But, how to put it... the current ruler of Toussaint, Anna Henrietta, is very "enlightened". Even her official title is "Lady Enlightened".

Theoretically speaking, Lann and his party should not come here at all. Otherwise, the fairy tale kingdom will soon turn into a dark fairy tale in front of them.

According to the poem: "Bad weather does not exist in Toussaint. Even winter here is sunny and cloudless, only a gentle breeze blows. I don't know what the cold wind is. The word "hunger" has lost its meaning in Toussaint.

, because the woods and bushes on this land are full of rich and juicy fruits all year round. The feeling of loneliness no longer exists, because everyone in the country regards travelers as friends they have not seen for a long time...

"Well. Behind those Nilfgaardian soldiers, there seems to be a man with golden eyes chasing them. He has been injured a lot and has been bleeding..."

This indifferent attitude is obviously not the attitude a wife should have towards her seriously ill husband, but Lann happens to understand the hidden story behind it, because this is also a plot that the original book spent a lot of time introducing:

A bard was once invited to perform in Toussaint. During the whole winter and summer, he had a secret love with Princess Anna. They had a romantic affair, which eventually became known to everyone.

At that time, Prince Raymond was attending a meeting in Sintra and found several mistresses there to have a happy time...

I can only sigh: What a noble life.
