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 Siledon 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 his 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 obstructive collar, also re-entered the banquet hall.

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 horny 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 that had happened to 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 Tissaya, 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 accept Lan En's statement that there would 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 been against warlocks getting too involved in politics and grabbing the power of mortals.

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

Being distracted is not doing the right thing.

And now, in the capital of Redania, the sorceress Philippa Ehrhart, who almost has the final say in the court of Tretog, is undoubtedly the kind of person that Tissaya can't stand the most.

And next to Tissaya, Margarita also looks like she agrees with the same feeling.

It can be seen that even among the sorceress group, Philippa Ehrhart's love of power struggle and good at manipulating means has almost become a stereotype.

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

Lan En frowned and said sincerely but hurriedly.

As he spoke, he took Tishaya and walked out of the banquet hall.

The remaining people in the banquet hall even whistled, cheered and applauded at this scene.

But Lan En and the three female sorcerers were in a hurry.

"Dickoscher's conversation with me made me feel that he was here to find a traitor. Now the situation between the north and the south has become acute again. If we don't carry out internal purges, there is no hope. In this situation, his behavior is reasonable."

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

"But now, Gaoqiu Castle and the workshop area clearly show that there is a force inside the northern kingdom that is trying to make me run around to put out the fire."

Are the northern kings trying to take action against Lan En and the sorcerers?

Is Dijkstra really completing internal purges to face the future North-South War that is destined to explode more?

Is Philippa abusing her power for personal gain and looking for an excuse to eliminate dissidents in the sorcerer circle?

I don't know. Uncertain.

No one's thoughts can be written on their faces. Everyone is looking for allies, but no one is sure of the other's position, so they can only speak vaguely and use hints to express their ideas.

It is such a troublesome thing to connect all parties and unite forces in a chaotic situation.

"Suppose, we want to catch the traitors among the warlocks from the northern countries," Margarita said suddenly, and looked at Triss, "then it must be a joint action of the four northern countries!"

"Triss, have you received any notification? You are Foltest's royal advisor!"

"Not all royal advisors can be trusted." Before Triss could speak, Lan En said in a deep voice.

"But Triss and I are very close, and my position is well known. She is very credible between the North and the South. But when it comes to 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." Tishaya continued to speak without stopping, "Thanks to Yennefer for bringing that Ciri to the academy, we have the precious ability to distinguish the facts."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Lan En frowned and asked, but Triss and Margarita looked enlightened.

At this time, they had walked to the bridge where Lan En had talked with Vigfortz before. The sea breeze was salty and cold, and the moon was already halfway through its run in the sky.

"[Magic Source]!" Margarita said decisively, "Let a [Magic Source] fall into a trance state of contact with chaos magic. In this state, she will be able to make predictions!"

"No, we don't need Ciri to predict the future, we just need to use her [Magic Source]'s trance state," Triss brushed her wine-red hair behind her ears.

"Ask clearly about what has happened, that will be clearer than vague prophecies, and there will be no burden on Ciri herself, and most importantly"

"A trance [Magic Source] has no ability to lie."*3

The sorceresses finally said in unison.

"This is a well-known axiom." Tishaya said coldly, "No matter who is playing tricks, but he or she, if he or she dares to spread rumors in front of me, in front of this fact, I will make him remember it well!"

Unprecedentedly, Lan En saw Tishaya so angry for the first time.

But after a rare outburst, Tishaya turned her head and looked at Lan En with a look that was almost a mixture of persistence and pleading.

"Lan En, I must not let my academy become a battlefield! No one should die in Aretuza! This should be a place for rational meetings, not a battlefield of conspiracy! No one should bleed here!"

"We must suppress the conflict to the smallest scale." Tishaya said, stopping on the bridge and looking back at the beautiful, huge castle that was still brightly lit.

"I will start to open the forbidden magic circle in the Gastang Palace, so that the conflict between the warlocks will at least not tear down the entire island, causing countless casualties. But..."

But now that the guards of the academy have been infiltrated, who knows how many people have come in!

Warlocks without power are vulnerable in front of professional soldiers and even armed robbers.

"Leave it to me."

Lan En said firmly.

"They are looking for trouble with me everywhere, wanting me to put out fires everywhere tonight, unable to do anything, and have a dizzy mind."

"They estimated my strength, they estimated the strength of my castle, my knights, my workshop, and then they wanted to crush these things with full preparation and confidence."

"But seriously," Lan En smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "I don't know how they dare to think... that they have seen through me?"

The dark clouds covered the moonlight, Lan En stopped on the bridge, watching the three sorceresses walk towards the second tallest tower on the island.

But suddenly...

"Hua La La!"

The pendant on Lan En's neck shook, and Tissaya, who had already walked far away, stopped at the same time, and then walked more hurriedly-

Someone began to cast magic in Aretuza!
