Chapter 72 Ace and House were very scared.
Swader asked Lan incredulously: "Your Majesty, is this Duchess too..."
Ace also asked Lan incredulously: "Your Majesty, Toussaint's Aren't all the officials too..."
Lan En rolled his eyes at them: "Is this what you should say?"
The two attendants quickly bowed their heads in apology.
House obediently stepped forward and poured Lan a glass of wine, and then poured a glass for Geralt.
Smelling the refreshing aroma of wine, Geralt sighed: "The Duchess and the officials here... why are they like this?"
Lann also sighed and said with a headache:
"Looking at the bright side, this is how we can You are allowed to come to Toussaint at this time, and you can also receive a banquet."
Lan knocked on the door, asked the butler for a map of Beauclair, and called a few people to gather around him and ordered.
"Let's get down to business: You all know that I came here to find the laboratory of a mage named Thomas Moreu. I need his experimental results on the secondary mutation of the witcher, as well as the results of his laboratory's experiments. Magic treasure."
Everyone nodded, this was something they had known for a long time.
"According to the information I have learned, in addition to the laboratory, Professor Moru also has an experimental log that he should have carried with him and may have been taken into the tomb by him in the end. I also need to find it. In order to maximize the possibility
of To save time, I plan to divide the troops into two groups——"
Lann thought for a while and started to order people.
"Ace." The Arrow Servant looked up.
"House." He stopped pouring wine.
"You two take four sword guards - don't bring the axe-hands and hammer-hands, and leave the bombs - to search the cemetery of Beauclair."
Lann said cautiously: "I only know that he was buried in Beauclair, where exactly? I can't say for sure. This job is not very respectable, so you rest during the day and go out at night. Be smart and don't be seen by too many people. I can rest assured that I will leave it to you." The
two attendants nodded.
"As for us..." Lann looked at Geralt and Sward, "We will meet up with Uncle Mossak's druid friends tomorrow, and then set off for the Valley of Nine. Don't drink anything at today's dinner. Too much wine."
"Yes!" shouted Swade.
House and Ace looked at the time and asked, "Lord Earl, let's go now..."
Lann ordered, "Go pick someone, eat, and take a rest first."
The two nodded in agreement.
Swade smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will bring you some wine for the dinner!"
The two people who were about to go out each lightly punched the sword attendant. When they were about to open the door, they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
House looked at Lann for consultation and stepped forward to open the door. The butler's face appeared at the door.
"Your Majesty, we have a visitor."
"Visitor?" House said angrily, "You just come to the door without a greeting? What the hell!"
Lan didn't stop House from getting angry, and waved his hand slightly after he finished speaking. He took a step back and asked: "Who are the visitors?"
The butler bent down a few degrees and said respectfully: "It is Baron Palmeline de Lanfort and Baron de Perrac Perrin."
"I don't know them." Lann shook his head. "Are they in a hurry?"
The butler explained: "It seems so. And... they don't seem to want to visit you, but want to get to know this person through the Earl - —Mr. Geralt."
Four pairs of eyes looked at Geralt.
"I don't know them either." The witcher explained expressionlessly.
Lan was a little interested: "Then let them come in. I want to hear what they are looking for Geralt for - if you don't mind, Geralt." The
witcher shook his head indifferently.
Two knights walked in. They each saluted Lan and greeted Geralt.
Silence followed.
In keeping with Beauclair's chivalric tradition, the four men remained silent for ten heartbeats.
"Good day, your lord, and Mr. Geralt." A knight said, "We have something to entrust to Mr. Geralt."
He turned to the witcher and said, "This is related to your profession."
Geralt nodded: "Go ahead."
The two of them looked at the three attendants and even Lan with expressions of embarrassment. There seems to be something unspeakable.
"Earl Lannister is my employer. It is impossible for me to accept your commission without his permission." Geralt said directly, "If you two are really in an emergency, please do it as soon as possible." The two knights were embarrassed
. They looked at each other, took a few breaths of mental construction, and said hesitantly: "That's it...that succubus...the demon that haunts the night is the one that the duchess and ladies asked you to destroy. . Can you tell me the reward for killing that monster?"
Geralt shook his head: "Sorry, gentlemen, I can't reveal such details."
"We understand, understand." A knight said, "We are facing is obviously a decent man. To be honest, I'm worried that such a person will find our proposal an insult, but I have to say - please give up
this contract and don't hurt the poor succubus. On my honor I swear, there are far more men than women in Toussaint. You will be surprised by our generosity." The
witcher said coldly: "Your proposal is indeed not far from an insult."
"Geralt Sir." Another knight added, "It is said that you only kill monsters that are a threat, a real threat. And that succubus has never threatened anyone or hurt anyone. Oh, she does from time to time... Visit the sleeping male... to play some little pranks..."
"But only for adults," another knight added.
Geralt refused again expressionlessly: "I will not tell the Duchess or any other lady about this, but please get out." The two knights seemed to want to get
angry and argue, but then they seemed to remember What? He looked at Lann with fear.
Lan's mouth twitched, and he signaled to House expressionlessly: "Call the royal butler and ask the two barons to go out." The
two barons left reluctantly.
Watching the two of them go away, House and Ace suddenly asked curiously: "Mr. Geralt, are you really planning to kill that succubus?"
Geralt gave them a strange look and explained: " Generally speaking, succubi do not suck blood or kill people, and they are not malicious, but occasionally there are 'unusual' situations. So I will find her first and decide the method based on the investigation results." Lann was also a little strange, these two
attendants I never care about monster hunting.
"This... we actually want to ask you for advice. We're going out at night. I'm thinking about how we should get along with a succubus if we meet one - I mean, how should we judge whether she is good or bad, and what should we do? How to protect yourself?"
The expressions of the two attendants were solemn, but the corners of their mouths were slightly twitching and raised, their breathing was rapid, and their fingers and bodies were twisting uneasily.
Lan's face was expressionless: "You two get out of here, too. Now."
