Chapter 124 123. Stay away from Vizima
“Have something to drink, Roche! My throat is going to smoke.”
Foltest didn’t look back. call out.
Behind him, a man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties walked naturally towards the bar of the pub.
A moment later, two glasses of Kaedwen dark beer were placed in front of Foltest and Lan.
This man always had a straight chin, squinted eyes, and wore a tattered cloth hat on his head. His appearance was unattractive.
But the biggest difference between him and others is that he did not show any abnormal emotions when he was close to Lan En.
Whether this is due to his excellent emotional control or because he has a big heart that takes nothing seriously.
These are good qualities.
Not everyone can face a creature that slaughtered more than two hundred elite warriors alone without trembling in their legs.
After delivering the drinks, Roche returned to his original position.
"He's a great warrior, right?"
Foltest took a big sip and chuckled at Lan pointing at Roche behind him.
“The son of a prostitute, he wallowed in the smelly ditch and was dug up by me and grew up like this. Because of this, I cremated my cousin’s body on the spot. He did not deserve to be laid to rest under Melitelli’s gaze. ."
Lan En nodded slightly.
A king who can discover and cultivate young people with such tragic backgrounds must not only have the ability to recognize people, but also have a pair of eyes that care about the lower class.
This kind of person’s attitude towards the slave trade case is self-evident.
“Have you arranged for those children?”
Compared to a piece of meat that has lost its life, Lan En still cares more about the living people.
Foltest dealt with the matter immediately after burning his cousin's body.
"They would be taken care of and then contacted and returned to their families."
"You wouldn't just return them to their families, I guess? They are a powerful weapon against Statha's reputation."
"Of course they are needed to deal with the reputation left by Statha, but at the same time, the greater their reputation, the safer they will naturally be. This is a win-win situation."
Tacitly, The two people on both sides of the dinner table clinked glasses with each other.
“Now, let’s talk a little bit about you.”
Putting down his wine glass, Foltest snapped his fingers behind him.
It was still a man named Luo Qi. He was walking towards the dining table with a bag of packages that looked heavy.
"Five thousand orens, as well as the plate armor accessories and the good horse that you removed in Vizima, I will use them to repay you for cutting off a slave trade chain. Although personally, I also wanted to reward you for smashing my cousin’s head, but considering that this would stimulate his remaining power too much, it’s a pity.”
Aliya moved her hands numbly at the edge of the table. Picked up the package in Roche's hand.
It was heavy, but Alia was very happy.
That was a weight that made Running Wolf Blood couldn't help but smile.
"It's already a lot. I heard that when Her Royal Highness the Princess was lifted from the curse, there was only a reward of three thousand orens."
Lan En nodded and said.
The urge to do good deeds comes from inner morality, but wouldn’t it be better if you could still get satisfactory rewards after doing good deeds?
Watching Lan accept the money, Foltest nodded.
"You asked the children, but you didn't ask Merigold?"
"She is a royal advisor who safeguarded the interests of the royal family in the incident. I have no need to worry about her."
< br>Lan En's noncommittal made the other party couldn't help but shake his head.
"I'm not talking about safety. You didn't see how high-spirited she looked today."
Foltest chuckled. "This is probably the closest she has come to the concept of 'power'. The usually polite dignitaries asked her about the details of last night, and insinuated the subject to her powerful friend, yours. She didn't even know that those dignitaries had such huge energy before today."
“These energies would never be revealed in front of a sorceress, but now, because of your existence. Not only did they show these complex fields to my advisors, they even wanted Merigold to run in. Just because she has a friend like you, everything she sees becomes friendly."
"Power and wealth are aphrodisiacs, Lan En. . I can guarantee that if you appear in front of Merigold now, you two will not get out of bed within a week."
Lan En sipped the wine glass.
Damn it! The feudal king was knowledgeable!
Can you do this for a week? !
Are sorceresses monsters? !
Lan En, who originally looked like a little boy, now has the tips of his ears a little red.
But Foltest's tone became serious after telling the dirty jokes.
“The appearance of a warrior who can forcibly kill the top power holder of a kingdom in the top manor with the top guard has had an unimaginable impact on the upper echelons of Temeria, Lan En .”
"Do you know what they call you?"
As Foltest's tone became serious, Lan En's relaxed expression calmed down.
"They call you [Hunter Lord]."
The king's voice was low, as if he was narrating a character in a distant story.
But the little girl sitting next to the king couldn't help but say "Wow".
Several people present turned to stare at her, causing Aria to quickly cover her mouth.
"[The man who hunts the earl]." Lan En curled his lips, "This title is too far out of a knight novel."
Lan En's dislike did not change the king's attitude. manner.
“The style of your name is not important, what is important is their attitude towards you.”
“Some are afraid that you will kill the powerful without hesitation, while others think they can use your hands to eradicate the enemy. It’s not surprising that a method that broke the rules of the game was fought for and exploited in the early days of its emergence. But as the king, I can’t let the situation continue to deteriorate.”
Lan En could imagine the attitude of the big shots in Vizima towards him.
Of course there is fear and fear, but what do these things mean in the face of the benefits they can bring?
There will always be people who want to take advantage of you. After all, although you are strong, you can’t know everything, right?
Create some crimes for your opponents that are outrageous to both humans and gods, and then leak them to the market. Can I still investigate everything in detail?
As for a warrior who is so powerful that it is beyond common sense, while he brings intimidation, he will also inevitably bring a bloody atmosphere.
The operation of society requires the shock of blood, but there cannot be too much blood.
This is what Foltest cannot accept.
Lan En nodded in understanding.
"I solved the problem for you and you paid me. I think our relationship is okay?"
The witcher looked at the king with a questioning attitude. go.
Foltest nodded calmly.
"Mutual benefits, we can be called friends, Lan En. Everyone wants to be friends with a hero who saves slaves, especially when the hero is just like someone from a story."
"I just think you are complimenting me. So what can I do to end the chaos?"
"It's very simple." Foltest pointed in the direction of Vizima.
"I hope you will not appear in Vizima again. If you need my help, you can convey it through Merigold, but you yourself, really do not appear in Vizima."
Vizima is the political center of Temeria, and dignitaries far away from the political center are equivalent to cutting themselves off from power.
Most of the people who want to take advantage of Lan En and their enemies gather in this city.
As long as Lan En stays away from this city, the trouble will be reduced by 70%.
"No problem, Vizima doesn't seem to be a suitable place for a witcher to make a living anyway. A big job like a princess being cursed probably only happens once every few hundred years."
Lan En agreed indifferently.
