The research and discussion continued until late in the evening, until Yennefer called everyone for a meeting.
The bad news is that no big progress has been made in this discussion. Three warriors and an agent discussing a weapon design that can be regarded as sophisticated in the magic world will naturally have no results.
But the good news is not without it. At least everyone has found a direction that can be followed up - just find a magician who has no identity, position or moral constraints to help design it.
Yes, we are talking about Yennefer now, and I recommend Yennefer first, followed by Triss and Keira Metz, and finally Philippa Aha. The last choice is the Elf Sage Ava. Lark.
Among the above-mentioned people, Yennefer is the best choice - Geralt has rekindled his old relationship with her, and she doesn't care much about the status of the warlock. Protecting Geralt's life is what Yennefer hopes as her lover. ...She is also an excellent warlock with many tricks. She can enhance Geralt's life guarantee, so she will definitely not refuse.
Of course, there is trouble: Geralt needs to ask Yennefer for help... This will probably make him feel that it undermines his masculinity, and it is hard to say whether Yennefer would want to give him money out of bad taste. Some wolf tricks to make people irritated without making them angry.
But this is indeed the most ideal principle. At least contact with Triss will offend Yennefer, contact with Keira Metz... I don’t know this, but I guess she doesn’t care as much as Yennefer; contact with Philippa Aha Be prepared to be brutally beaten by this conspirator and careerist. You can't even imagine what she will do if she gets such a sharp weapon.
As for the last one, Elven Sage Avallac'h...who can clearly know where he stands?
The dinner passed by in a hurry. It wasn't that it was not cooked well. It was just food prepared by the castle for the winter. Don't expect it to taste good.
After dinner, several people gathered together to discuss how to remove the curse on Uma.
At first, Yennefer wanted to directly command everyone what to do, but was quickly rejected by Vesemir.
Because Vesemir believed that no matter what Yennefer wanted to do, it was bound to be a very risky activity. Once this inference was drawn, even Yennefer, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, could only tilt his head and neither admit nor deny it.
It can only be said that people become better with age. Although Vesemir has not met Yennefer many times, he has already understood this woman's habits.
So Vesemir decided to take Uma to the top of the mountain, drink the bitter celery tea that broke the curse, and then wait under the moonlight all night.
Yennefer, who was out of control for the first time, was about to taunt, but was immediately ridiculed by Lambert - the family, although they ignored each other, were actually silently protecting each other.
Yennefer had no choice but to give up arguing. Before leaving, Vesemir asked Eskel to repair the roof, and then left with Uma.
The young people who stayed behind soon revealed their true colors - it was hard to imagine that there had been a tense atmosphere just now, but now they were in a hurry to drink, and they had forgotten their instructions in the blink of an eye.
However, unlike Lambert and Eskel... Xie Yuan still got Margarita's invitation.
Because Yennefer also invited Geralt over there... Due to circumstances, Margarita didn't want to be left alone.
…
After the clouds closed and the rain dispersed, Margarita lay lazily and contentedly on Xie Yuan's chest, paddling something gently.
At first Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously, but soon his expression became subtle - because this happened to be the analysis of Alder's seal runes he needed... Margarita was finally handed over to Xie Yuan.
After the gesture, Margarita suddenly raised her head and came to Xie Yuan's ear. Her warm breath made Xie Yuan's hair feel warm: "Don't tell anyone that I gave it to you, just give it to Yennefer." .”
"But the honor that will come from this... ow!"
Suddenly her ears hurt, and Margarita's angry voice slipped into her ears: "I don't want this kind of mixed honor, which is not what I, as an educator, need - I just want to be known as a school principal." It has been spread throughout the world that this is just a temporary thought I made for you... Oh!"
Hearing Margarita's slight exclamation, Xie Yuan seemed very satisfied. He lightly smelled Margarita's braid and said softly: "Teacher, let the students take good care of you again today. "
In response to him, there was a shudder and a little pink fist hitting the shoulder - you can't tell, the headmistress actually likes this tone!
…
After a while, they reunited at Eskar and Lambert's dining table. Geralt and Xie Yuan's expressions were as usual - why Geralt could remain ignorant, but Xie Yuan secretly gave himself a A dose of nutritional injection to replenish the body.
The price was that the two beauties sitting there had rosy faces and soft expressions. They each laughed secretly in tacit agreement, then raised their wooden mugs one after another and drank all the wine.
Today’s wineware is indeed a bit lacking, a wooden mug? However, none of the people present were pretentious. Xie Yuan and Geralt also had a drink each... The taste was not bad, as far as the taste of fermented wine is concerned.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone resumed chatting. Yennefer was asked what the secret method was. Yennefer, who couldn't hide it, could only choose to postpone it until after midnight.
In order to ease the situation, Geralt took the initiative to talk about his recent life.
The first was Lambert. He destroyed a robbery group, killed the bandits, and at the same time killed a bridge-protecting troll. Geralt expressed disapproval of this, but Yennefer expressed understanding and appreciation, and hoped that Geralt can learn too.
Eskar's trail is a bit more interesting. He hunts a vampire who drinks the blood of drunkards at night. His method is to find an alchemist to conspire and make him drunk and swallow a special poison to deal with vampires that will run in the blood, causing him to be killed. After weakening, Eskel will kill him.
Well...it turned out okay, except that the alchemist had to drink beet juice for several months, and Eskel was almost criticized by Geralt for being playful.
Finally, it was Geralt's turn. Geralt is the true son of the world, so he has met many people and things, met with many kings, hunted dragons, and made many pile drivers (not mentioned), Of course, the last thing is also the best, finally finding Yennefer - and the latter also looked at Geralt lovingly.
It was Lambert who quickly asked about Triss' situation, which pot was not boiled and which pot was picked up. Obviously, this caught people off guard.
But whether he could let it go or not, Geralt faced this problem calmly...under Yennefer's gaze.
Originally, Xie Yuan thought that this kind of discussion about history was none of his business, but Lambert quickly turned the focus of the conversation to him:
"What about you? Can you tell me what you have been up to recently?"
"Me?" Xie Yuan was suddenly confused.
Why does this involve me?
But Xie Yuan's reaction was not slow, and he quickly asked Lambert with a smile: "Which world do you want to hear about?"
This confused Lambert. (End of chapter)
