Chapter 125: Milva, the demon hunter of the White Orchard,
wiped the chair twice in a pretentious manner, attracting Lan's speechless gaze and signaled with a smile that his Earl would please sit down.
Lann said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that I didn't raise you as a maid?"
Milva said confidently: "But I am the only woman in the team, who else can do such a thing, House? Levin
whispered to the side: "Maybe he is more considerate in taking care of the earl than you are."
At this time, House and the landlady came back after ordering the wine and food for the table. Everyone noticed his expression. The oldest attendant had been worried for several days, and now faced his sworn lord with a hesitant expression on his face.
Lan said angrily: "You are not suitable for this kind of expression. Just say whatever you want."
House scratched his head, and after a moment of silence, he finally revealed the question that had been bothering him for a long time:
"Your Majesty, we are all entering Thailand. Moria has been on the border for so long, why hasn't their king sent someone to contact us?"
In the imagination of the retainers, Earl Lannister, with such a large group of cavalry, should have received it not long after he entered the country. He was received by the local lord and received by the king, and then he went eating and drinking all the way there.
This is why the old butler Enns agreed not to add maids and servants to this team. They felt that the group of people could get proper and decent care outside.
As a result, Lan En and his party met a lot of lords along the way, and everyone was still polite and reluctantly gave the earl the treatment he deserved.
But there was no movement from the king's side, not even a messenger was sent to deliver the message.
"I'm still wondering when he will ask me." Lane said, "It's simple, because he doesn't want to see me." At
this time, Levine Blott, the grandson of the mayor of Blochlon Town, came together After coming up, he also joined the team and was brought out to see the world by Lan En. He was regarded as Lan En's new attendant.
"Why?" House was indignant. "Even if I don't want to see you, then at least I have to send an envoy to pick us up. This is so rude!" Faced with
House's anger, Lan smiled nonchalantly.
In fact, Lann also expected the attitude of the King of Temeria. However, he originally thought that there would be any difference in this time and space, but he did not expect that he actually encountered the same attitude.
The king of Temeria is called Foltest. Lann remembered that Foltest had a very bad attitude towards Cintra in the original novel.
Perhaps because Temeria is too close to Cintra, in the original book, he repeatedly advocated that Ciri was dead and Cintra was a country without a master, and also proposed to use Cintra's last armed forces as cannon fodder to consume Nilfgaard is powerful.
As for Foltest's attitude of indifference to Cintra, other northern kings pointed out that he was actually secretly searching for Ciri, hoping to seduce the little princess to marry him in order to control Cintra.
I have to sigh here, these kings really have nothing new.
Although Foltest naturally denied this accusation, no one knew what he really thought.
Lan originally thought that the situation in Cintra had not yet completely deteriorated, and Foltest might have different ideas, but it seems that is not the case now.
"My Lord Earl, what should we do next? Are we going to deliver a greeting card to King Foltest?"
House still understands basic court etiquette, and also understands Lann's thoughts, knowing that even in such a diplomatic situation, House No matter how angry you are, you should control your emotions and take care of the face of both parties. Especially now that Sintra is still on the weak side.
"Since he doesn't want to see us, there's no point in handing him a greeting card,"
Lan said. But then he thought about it again. After all, he was on someone else's territory. The host could pretend they didn't see his group, but he had to say hello to them.
"Forget it, let's send it there. We'll leave in two days. Temeria is just passing through anyway, and our focus is on Redania."
Levin suddenly suggested: "Ms. Triss is not from here . Royal advisor? Can you ask her for help?"
Lann shook his head: "Triss is not in Temeria now."
Lann and his attendants were discussing, and at this moment the tavern proprietress was holding a card A tray full of Vizima beer came over, and he diligently and carefully planned to serve wine and food to this table of untouchable guests.
Milva took the tray first and prevented the landlady from getting close. Then the girl smiled and put the fullest glass of beer in front of Lan.
She didn't control her strength well when she put down the cup, and a lot of the beer in the cup spilled out, almost making Lan's hand wet.
House and Levin were sitting there, and they were about to thank Milva for distributing the drinks, but they saw that she then took another glass for herself, and then pushed the tray forward. There was clearly no interest in distributing it to the rest of the population.
The two male waiters silently took the wine by themselves, drank it silently, and then exclaimed to get rid of their embarrassment: "You really have to drink Vizima beer in Temeria, the taste is just different..." "Madam
boss, what's going on in White Orchard recently? " Anything interesting?" After drinking all the beer in the glass in one breath, Levin began to inquire about the news.
Boss Elsa looked at the Cintra soldiers who had the words "not to be messed with" written all over their bodies, and then thought about the wine and food that so many of them might consume, a smile suddenly appeared on her face:
" If we talk about the real big event recently, it's Nilfgaard..."
After saying this, she glanced at the lion mark on Lan En and the three attendants, and said: "But I think some of the gentlemen here want to hear about the good things about the countryside. Story - An interesting thing has really happened recently.
Everyone who knows about "Devil Hunter" knows about it. Although such people don't appear much now, there was one in Baiguoyuan recently. ..."
After hearing this, everyone put down their wine glasses. Lann also showed an interested look and began to recall which demon hunters might appear in White Orchard during this time.
Lann was about to continue inquiring when he saw several of his cavalrymen standing up in the hotel to form a simple human wall to protect them behind them.
On the other side of the hotel, several dwarfs who were only as tall as a normal person's waist were walking towards this side.
House frowned: "Dwarves, what do you want?"
After all, we were on someone else's territory, so House somewhat restrained his attitude.
One of the dwarf leaders had a Mohawk hairstyle and dark brown beard. He pulled the leader of another group of dwarves, as if trying to lower his voice, but the voice could not be lowered: "Yarpan,
I I have said that this is a noble lord. Is this what you, a stupid pig with a saddle, can talk to?" "
Watch it, Zolva, you stubborn hammerhead!" The man who was pulled The dwarf seemed to have drunk too much and was shouting, "Those eyes...although they are a little different, I won't admit them wrong! You always don't believe the witcher stories I tell you, saying that I am bragging." I'm going to show you the clown today!"
This dwarf had a longer black beard, his hair was styled into a round shape, and he looked fierce.
When he first entered the house, Lan noticed these members of the demi-human race. The current situation in the Northern Kingdom is not as severe as it will be in the future. The Scoia'tael Party formed by Nilfgaard has not yet completely detonated the human and non-human races in the north. contradiction.
Although it can be seen that humans and these dwarves don't like to communicate very much, they have not reached the point where they will be constantly at war with each other in the future.
This group of dwarves was faintly divided into two groups, because Lann could see that they had two leaders, and Lann even knew the two leaders.
Since these "acquaintances" are now taking the initiative to make friends, he has no intention of rejecting them thousands of miles away.
"Let our dwarf friends come over." Lann called the cavalry back to their positions and greeted the proprietress at the same time, "Give each of our dwarf friends another glass of wine." The dwarves suddenly beamed, and the attendants heard the count's order
. , a few more tables were moved from the side and put together, barely enough to accommodate this small group.
Yalpan slapped the table happily: "Let me just say, demon hunters are all famous men!"
Zolva looked much more stable: "Hello, Count of Sintra, I am Zoltan. Ziva. He used to be a soldier of Mahakam, but now he is a businessman."
Zhorva pointed to the excited Yarpan again: "This is Yarpan Zigrin. You may have heard of his name. He and his partners formed a mercenary group together and should be somewhat famous." "
Of course, the famous Yarpan, I have heard your story in poetry. You once hunted a green dragon." Lann raised his glass. Greeting, "Nice to meet you, I am Lann Lannister Leanne, Earl of Cintra." "
I've heard of you too!" Yalpen smashed the table with his wine glass after hearing the name. "I have also heard your poems. Now what do you call it...'Lion', right? I heard rumors that the White Wolf is also on your side!" "Yes." Lan
En Nodding, "Geralt is a very good friend of mine, and he is also a very powerful warrior." "
Yes, that's right!" Yarpan shouted happily, hearing others admit that the warrior he valued was more powerful than him. Those who were praised were even more excited, "Geralt of Rivia, he can hold up eight people with a sword!"
Lann knew that the dragon-slaying team led by Yarpan once tried to hunt down the most important figure in the history of the team. The second dragon met Geralt and Yennefer in the process. Although they ultimately failed to kill the second dragon as they wished to add new glory to their legend, they were fortunate enough to make friends worth making deep friends with.
House seemed to dislike the way the dwarves jumped up and down in front of his lord, the Earl. Levin's expression was expressionless, but Milva was full of curiosity about this group of demi-humans that she had never seen before.
The atmosphere in the tavern gradually became warm, and people looked at the strange combination at this table with curiosity. Some local soldiers quietly left the hotel, seemingly to report the traces of this cavalry team. After a while, they came back relaxed and continued drinking. , and the companions who were following him shook their heads and said not to worry.
However, this happy and relaxed atmosphere did not last long.
The hotel door was pushed open by a man, who ran in sweating profusely, attracting the attention of everyone present:
"The demon hunter who came to White Orchard a few days ago has been arrested!"
