Serious People, Who is Learning Magic at Marvel?

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, traveling the world is basically a job requirement if you want to make money. Just as a prostitute has to wear a low-cut top, and a cook has to be able to handle a spatula.

You can't make money by staying in one place, the monsters can only be killed once, and they don't pop out of the ground like crops once a year. If he could only earn two hundred crowns a year, Geralt might as well switch careers as a hunter.

A good piece of deerskin can be sold for about twelve crowns in today's Novigradian market, and a water ghost is only three crowns.

His thinking just gave He Shenyan time to eat two more bites, and the ribs on his plate were quite good. The chefs in this shop are very good, at least better than Geralt - every time the witcher roasts on the road, the meat is cooked to a fast char, and it is hard to bite, and it is particularly unpalatable.

The mage swallowed a mouthful of ribs and continued what he had left unfinished.

"Valley of Flowers, also known as Dole Breitner, allow me to insert my personal opinion, Geralt. What did these kings think? They took away the cities and lands of the elves, and at least changed their names? It's too funny to claim that this city has been human since ancient times, while not changing the names given by the elves."

Geralt replied with a bit of humour: "The kings probably didn't realize it at all, they just thought it was a good name."

"Anyway, you know it, and so do I. The place couldn't be more suitable, couldn't it? Dole Breitner, centuries ago belonged to the elves, then occupied. Now belongs to the kingdom of Aedirn, but even so, there There are also many elves living there."

"Yeah, though they've been running out of the valley tirelessly to harass humans and rob farmers and their money"

Having said that, Geralt shook his head: "What's the matter?"

"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, and his followers claim that we are all made by him in his image. So, if he really exists, then he must The biggest robber in the world."

The witcher almost choked on the noodles he ate. He coughed and drank half a glass of water, then motioned for He Shenyan to continue.

"Anyway, if she's smart, she'll start from here. But the current king of Aedirn is Demawi III, and this guy hates elves so much that he can't negotiate with Francesca, especially his own Part of the existing land is divided and given to the elves."

"But you just said that if she's smart, her political demands can still be fulfilled?"

"Yes, indeed."

The wizard nodded slightly, and Geralt looked at him expectantly—it's true that anyone can have an opinion on politics. But there are very few people like a mage who can explain everything to you, especially when he is still eating.

Looking at his eyes, He Shenyan smiled helplessly.

"The people who escaped from the world were obviously the hands behind the Swordsmen. They fit my speculation perfectly. A group of mages who have lost their bottom line have a long lifespan and need ordinary people to consume materials to maintain their immortality in the process. enjoy the benefits of human trafficking.”

His voice was light, but with a weight that came from nowhere: "The Swordsmen have continued to spread all over the world, and the hypnosis in their minds will not disappear with the death of that group. This means that This sinful business and interest 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 in the kings' court?"

"how could I know?"

"Just take a guess,

Say a number, how many do you think there are? "

The witcher was silent for a moment, throwing a number uncertainly: "Three? At least three."

"Almost, Geralt. A mage is a staff member, a mage is a magic advisor, and a mage provides various magic items as help. In short, the king and the mage seem to be bound together."

He Shenyan cut a rib again and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

Afterwards, he said: "Except for the one who escaped the world, there are two governing bodies of the Brotherhood of Warlocks today. One is the Society of Gifts and Arts, also known as the Wizarding Council. Five wizards have been appointed as members, and they require all wizards to report to the Wizarding Council. Allegiance, to act according to the law, and refusal to obey, will be regarded as an enemy by all.”

"The other is the Supreme Council of Warlocks. Generally speaking, the Supreme Council is more focused on academics than the Wizarding Council. The Supreme Council is also composed of five members, and together with the Gift and Art Society constitute the Warlock Brotherhood. the two governing bodies of the Council.”

He speaks eloquently, as if he were one of the members.

"The so-called escapists I killed were all members of these two associations. Just imagine, Geralt, if someone exposes the matter of the Swordsmen Group and pierces the background completely, then the Mage How badly will their reputation be hit?"

Geralt almost laughed.

He raised his hand: "You know I'm not targeting you, huh? You're not like them. But, with all due respect. Most mages I know have the same moral standards as their 'severely beaten reputation'. match."

"That said, but the Brotherhood of Warlocks cannot sit idly by. Francesca can use this as a bargaining chip to coerce the Brotherhood of Warlocks to help her. I believe that the wizards who are in the king's court like a duck to water will not. Abandoning their position, to cover up this fact, they will definitely help Francesca with all their might."

"Or kill her," Geralt said. "I don't think they'd listen to an elf sorceress, elf, plus sorceress. Those male mages might just think of her as a vase."

"Isn't she?"

He Shenyan smiled meaningfully: "I once gave her a treasure, Geralt. Instead of cherishing it, she threw the gem into the sea, turned and walked to land by herself. She is a mermaid, and she should be able to Roam freely in the sea."

"Enough, enough."

The witcher interrupted him helplessly: "Stop talking about riddles, He, just tell me straight, what are you trying to do this time?"

"You're ruining my little fun, Geralt. Forget it."

Shrugging his shoulders, He Shenyan said: "They will most likely choose the latter option of the option you throw, that is to say, in the next period of time, my apprentice, who is not an apprentice, may have to face the entire world of mages. chase."

"Why do I think you sound happy?"

"It's so obvious? If she can't deal with this crappy third-rate crap, she deserves to die."

He Shenyan said coldly, and then finished the last bite of ribs.
