Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?
59. You deserve to die
Geralt knew that the Valley of Flowers was there, and there were few places in the world that he had not been to. As a witcher, if you want to make money, traveling around the world is basically a mandatory requirement for your profession. Just like it is for a prostitute.
To wear a low-cut top, the chef must be able to hold a spatula.
You can't make money by just staying in one place. Monsters can only be killed once, and they don't emerge from the ground once a year like crops. If you can only earn two hundred crowns a year,
, Geralt might as well switch careers and become an Orion.
A good deerskin can be sold for about twelve crowns in today's market in Novigrad, and a water devil only costs three crowns...what the hell.
His thinking just gave He Shenyan time to eat two more bites. The ribs on his plate were quite good. The chef in this restaurant is very good, at least better than Geralt - the witcher always grills meat on the road.
They are all grilled until they are almost charred, making them hard to chew and extremely unpalatable.
The mage swallowed a mouthful of ribs and continued what he had left unfinished.
"Valley of Flowers, also known as Dol Bretanna...Allow me to insert my personal opinion, Geralt. What do these kings think? They took away the cities and lands of the elves, at least they must
Should the name be changed? It would be too funny to claim that this city has been owned by humans since ancient times while not even changing the name given by the elves."
Geralt replied with a rather dry sense of humor: "The kings may not be aware of this at all, they just think the name sounds nice."
"Anyway, you know it, and I know it too. That's the perfect place, isn't it? Dor Bretanna belonged to the Elves centuries ago and was later occupied. Now it belongs to the Kingdom of Aedirn, but even so, there
There are also many elves living there.”
"Yes, although they have been running out of the valley tirelessly to harass humans and rob farmers and their money..."
At this point, Geralt shook his head: "What's all this?"
"You rob me, I rob you, that's how the world works."
The mage threw a religious joke: "There is a god called God in my hometown, Geralt. His followers claim that we were all created by him in his likeness. So, if he really exists, then he must
He is the biggest robber in the world."
The demon hunter almost choked on the noodles he had eaten. He coughed and drank half a glass of water, then motioned for He Shenyan to continue.
"Anyway, if she is smart, she will start here. But the current king of Aedirn is Demavi III. This guy hates the elves extremely. It is impossible for him to negotiate with Francesca, especially when he will
Part of the existing land will be divided and given to the elves."
"But you just said that if she was smart, her political aspirations could still be realized?"
"Yes, indeed you can."
The mage nodded slightly, and Geralt looked at him expectantly - it is true that anyone can express their own opinions on politics. But there are few people like the mage who can explain everything to you in detail.
, especially since he is still eating, it is perfect to use this kind of thing as a pastime.
Looking at his eyes, He Shenyan laughed helplessly.
"The people who hide from the world are obviously the hands behind the Sword Group. They perfectly match my speculation. A group of mages who have lost their bottom line. They have a long lifespan and need ordinary people as consumable materials to maintain their immortality...
In the process, you can also enjoy the benefits brought by human trafficking.”
His voice was very soft, but it carried a weight that came from nowhere: "The sword group has continued to spread all over the world, and the hypnosis in their minds will not disappear with the death of those people. This means
This sinful business and profit chain will continue to spread, and this will become the heaviest card in Francesca's hand."
"Geralt, let me ask you a question - how many mages are there in the courts of kings?"
"how could I know?"
"Just take a guess and tell me a number. How many do you think it is?"
The witcher was silent for a while, then threw out a number uncertainly: "Three? At least three."
"It's almost the same, Geralt. One mage serves as a staff, one mage serves as a magic consultant, and one mage provides various magic items as help. In short, the king and the mages seem to be bound together."
He Shenyan cut a piece of ribs again, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Then, he said: "Except for the escapist man, the Brotherhood of Warlocks today has two governing bodies. One is the Association of Talents and Arts, also known as the Wizards' Council. Five mages have been appointed as members, and they require all mages to report to the Wizards' Council.
Those who are loyal and act according to the law and refuse to obey will be regarded as enemies by everyone."
"The other is the Supreme Council of Warlocks. Generally speaking, the Supreme Council will focus more on academic aspects than the Wizards' Council. The Supreme Council is also composed of five members, and together with the Association of Talents and Arts, it forms the Warlock Brothers
The two major governing bodies of the Association.”
He talked freely, as if he was one of the members.
"The so-called escapists I killed were all members of these two associations. Just imagine, Geralt, if someone exposed the Sword Group and completely exposed the things behind it, what would happen to the mages?
How serious a hit will it have on our reputation?"
Geralt almost laughed.
He raised his hand: "You know I'm not targeting you, right? You are different from them. But, with all due respect. Most of the mages I know, their moral standards are comparable to their 'severely hit reputation'
Match."
"That's what I say, but the Warlock Brotherhood cannot sit idly by. Francesca can use this as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Warlock Brotherhood into helping her. I believe that those mages who are so comfortable in the king's court will definitely not
To give up their status, in order to cover up this fact, they will definitely try their best to help Francesca."
"Or kill her," Geralt said. "I don't think they would listen to an elf sorceress, an elf, plus a sorceress. Those male mages might just see her as a vase."
"Is she?"
He Shenyan laughed meaningfully: "I once gave her a treasure, Geralt. She didn't cherish it. Instead, she threw the gem into the sea and turned towards the land. She is a mermaid and should be able to
Roam freely in the sea.”
"That's enough, that's enough."
The demon hunter interrupted him helplessly: "Stop talking about riddles, He, just tell me frankly, what do you want to do this time?"
"...You're ruining my little fun, Geralt. Forget it."
Shrugging, He Shenyan said: "There is a high probability that they will choose the latter of the options you threw out. In other words, in the next period of time, I, who is not an apprentice, may have to face all the magicians in the world.
Chase."
"Why do I feel like you sound happy?"
"Is it that obvious? If she can't handle these crappy third-rate trash, she deserves to die."
He Shenyan said coldly, and then finished the last bite of ribs.
