Chapter 1429 1401. Extraordinary Charm
“Is that the killer crab, a specialty of the Kevir Sea?”
Lan, Margarita and Triss stood at the dining table, hunting monsters People looked at a giant crab surrounded by gorgeous ice sculptures with great interest.
When the legs of this crab are fully extended, the length is close to that of a ten-year-old child. Coupled with the sharp protrusions and large pincers on the shell, it really looks like it can kill people.
However, compared with real monsters, such as crab spiders and Kikimo, the 'killer crab' is just a gimmick.
The crabs that Lan En had seen in the swamps of the Zhenxun Forest in the Flame World were as terrifying as the size of a villa.
“It takes half a month to transport it by sea, right?”
“In fact, it was still on the seabed in Keville two hours before the banquet started.” Margery Ta used a silver spoon to dig out a spoonful of crystal clear crab meat from the opened crab shell, and said to the demon hunter, "Teleport" Technology is a great invention."
"Okay." Lan En applauded insincerely, "It would be better if we could popularize this great invention."
" Isn’t that what you’re doing? You sound like we’re all a bunch of lazy people.”
Margarita rolled her eyes at him.
Lan En actually didn’t want to come to pick up the food at the table, because at this kind of banquet, this kind of action means that some kind of social obligation will also come at the same time.
Someone will recognize you, act as if they are delighted by that fact, and then come up to say hello in a tone that is both warm and insincere.
After the obligatory air kiss and soft handshake, after the fake smile and the insincere but clever compliments, there was a dull, short, and nutritious conversation.
Lan En only knows a few people here, namely the warlocks who have communicated with each other about the research progress through the telescope during the crystal cultivation project.
And even among these warlocks, their communication was limited to academic matters.
After all, every time Lan En comes back, it is a break during his adventure across the world. He cannot allocate his time to warlocks like him who have no friendship with him, and use it to do household chores.
It would be nice to be friends by fate, but Lan En doesn’t feel any regrets if we only keep in touch at work.
Most of the people who came to say hello and contributed to the boring and meaningless pleasantries mentioned above were friends of the two female companions.
In Lan En's view, the world's human relations and sophistication are the same, even across the world.
The friend of the female companion came over. If you still act like you don't want to let strangers in, and you don't even want to show a smile, then where are you leaving Margarita and Tris?
So although he doesn't like this kind of communication, Lan En is still considerate and perfect, and he has completed all his social etiquette and obligations with ease.
His smile is like a spring breeze. Just his eyes and slight movements can make people feel that they are valued and their hearts are burning.
Some people who seemed to have poor social skills and stumbled over to talk became more and more fluent in their speech and their mood became more and more eager just under Lan En's smile. Close to excitement.
Even idle pleasantries are about to become one-sided, chatting with real friends.
There is no doubt that the two sorceresses also became closer to the witcher during this process.
The cheeks of Margarita and Tris, which were already slightly red due to drinking, were even more flushed. The delicate red color extended from their cheeks to their slender necks and high chests. , further down the body
For the sorceress, the envious and jealous eyes of others are the best aphrodisiac.
Originally, two sorceresses attended with a male companion. These two sorceresses were the famous Dean Aretuza and the Temerian royal family advisor.
This is already big news.
There were whispers, dark speculations and gossip.
From this aspect, the people at this noble and luxurious banquet are no different from the women in Willen Village who gossip while working.
But when Lan En really started to show off a little at the banquet, all these whispers disappeared.
People began to spontaneously understand and even envy these two sorceresses.
This kind of transcendent charm is not the first time that Lan En has shown it. At the end of the Battle of Sodden Mountain, almost all the soldiers on the battlefield who had witnessed his appearance were almost spontaneous after the war. All of them saluted him.
Even the kings at that time definitely did not receive this kind of treatment.
In the world of social fame and fortune, Lan En’s charm is no less than on the battlefield.
Although it was only a slight expression, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall unconsciously turned into a whirlpool with him as the center and began to stir.
Dikstra looked normal, but he knew how surprised he was now.
God knows what happened! He couldn't help but want to move in that direction just now! If he hadn't spilled the wine glass in his hand, he might have walked to the dining table right now!
Dijkstra did not go to Sowden in person during the last war, but only provided intelligence support at the rear.
But now he fully understood why Vizmir had such a complicated and indescribable expression when he mentioned this person after returning from Sodden Mountain.
“Is this some kind of magic?” Dijkstra looked at Philippa Eilhardt very seriously. He even repeated it again to strengthen his tone, “Is this some kind of magic?!”
And Philippa also looked ugly and shocked: "You have never seen more mages in this room in the first half of your life! If this is magic, do you think these people are idiots? They rush to use other people's magic. Riminato?”
But no matter what, Lan En has fulfilled his social obligations at this banquet perfectly, and no one can find a thorn in his side.
At the right time, the young witcher pulled himself out.
Tonight, he also wanted to leave his energy and thoughts to those who are truly valuable, such as the ten great mages from the Talent and Skills Association and the Supreme Council of Warlocks.
These are the people who truly determine the direction and will of the warlock group.
Persuading them will help pour a basin of sober cold water on the heads of those reckless kings.
Lan En was thinking this, but then, a friend was walking over with another friend among the people at the banquet.
Yennefer's expression was worried, but mixed with a bit of joy, while Geralt's face was completely paralyzed.
But Lan En, who was already familiar with White Wolf, knew very well that under the paralyzed expression on his face, he was completely at a loss.
“Sabina came to talk to me just now!” Yennefer went straight to Triss and Margarita and snorted coldly, “Have you seen her clothes? She is just shameless and shameless. Only people with no sense of taste wear it! This woman is older than me!”
“Forget it, let’s not mention it, as if there is nothing else to care about.”
Only when they turned their backs and complained about others, it seemed that sorceresses were no different from ordinary women.
Triss and Margarita stepped forward to greet him with shining eyes. : "What did she ask you? Now everyone knows that Sabine is gathering information for Henselt of Kaedwen."
"Really?" Yennefer said in shock, but anyone with a discerning eye Everyone could see that she was joking.
The three sorceresses laughed wildly while arranging private arrangements for others, and Geralt walked to Lan En as if he was relieved.
He pulled on his collar, as if he was strangled and unable to breathe.
"Fortunately, you are here." White Wolf sighed. "These funny clothes and this uncomfortable new party. They all almost make me breathless."
" Isn’t it the rule of the wizards that everyone should be drafted and eat raw and cold seafood?”
“So far, that’s indeed the case.” Lan En nodded at Geralt’s question. The complaints are not unexpected. "But I see that Yennefer is actually very happy, and you are also very happy. What happened?"
White Wolf's already paralyzed expression suddenly became a little stiffer.
".I love Yennefer."
Lan En was a little strange: "I know, but what next?"
"I mean, I personally said that I love her. Just now, after she was aroused by that Sabina."< br>
Lan En's expression was calm at first, and he blinked. Then, after he finally understood Geralt's words a second later, the young witcher's eyes slowly widened.
“Wow~”
The demon hunter from the bear school excitedly patted the shoulder of the witcher from the wolf school, as if looking at a piece of wood that suddenly became enlightened!
"Geralt. Geralt! You've made progress! A lot of progress!"
"Then what? Tell me!"
"Then." The corners of Geralt's stiff mouth also changed. She laughed, "She also responded to me, the kind that couldn't wait."
"Then, the respected Duke of Cintra." Yennefer stepped in at this time and grabbed Geralt's arm. Pull the hand out. "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and the to-do list is also very long. I have to do it one by one."
"Oh!" Lan En smiled friendly, "Yes, you must There’s a lot to talk about.”
"For things like talking," Yennefer smiled ambiguously and looked at the white wolf next to her with suggestive and provocative eyes, "You can go to the back. I should say I will go to the back, Lan En. "
This answer made Lan En raise his eyebrows, and also made the other two sorceresses chuckle unspokenly.
