Chapter 1034 1016. The Era of Contempt
“Tradition?” The Witcher asked, “For example.?”
“For example, we all have a certain degree of responsibility for the development of magic and mages. It can even be said that serving as the principal of the two magic academies in the northern part of the mainland is because of this sense of responsibility."
Gedimidis said calmly, raising a hand as he spoke. With his hand, he motioned sideways for Lan En to continue walking forward.
In the corridor that he had stretched out, Tissaya and Margarita had become figures the size of fingers in the distance.
The two of them didn't move while they were talking just now, but the figures of the two sorceresses walking in front of them remained the same.
Now that I am walking again, the size of the two figures in front of me has not changed.
“In our time, of course, mages also enjoyed themselves, and their status was even higher than it is now. Because there were countless monsters besides humans, as well as unknown and dangerous territories.”
“ Of course, our sense of responsibility for the development of magic and mages is not to the point where we are desperate, but it is still an important goal in life, so Tisaya and I have been doing such troublesome work as principals for hundreds of years."
The old mage chatted with Lan En in a rational and thoughtful tone, just like the old man and the young man chatting by the river.
"So, of course I hope that my heart disease can be cured. But I also want to confirm whether I really need to owe you once."
Lan En did not speak, just listened with a smile.
“Today’s world situation is unprecedentedly acute, of course. After all, a few decades ago, people in the northern countries who knew that there was an empire in the south were considered knowledgeable.”
"Now, the Southern Empire has invaded. Different laws, different countries, different ethnic groups. Did you know? In fact, southern humans and northern humans are indeed not the same kind of people. We came from the 'initial landing', They came from another world thousands of years ago due to the intersection of the celestial spheres. "
"In short, all the differences were easy to explain before contact, and everyone just lived their own lives. But now, the knife has changed. There is blood and the land is bordering. Human beings are a race that will be excluded and massacred because of their 'difference'."
"This is an unprecedented turbulent era, an era of contempt, an era of speaking with swords and axes."
"Even with my experience, I have never seen the world become like this."
"And you, Lan En."
Gedemitis walked forward leisurely, while turning his head to look at the young man next to him.
“As the center of the storm to some extent, I want to confirm your tendency.”
"Tendency? You mean Nilfgaard and the Northern Kingdoms?"
"No, I told you that Tisaya and I have very different concepts from today's mages."< br>
The old mage answered the demon hunter's question.
“Today’s mages, their position, power, and material enjoyment are all linked to their status as advisors to the king, that is, to their country. Interests are a guarantee of loyalty, and of course they will be loyal to the country they serve. . ”
“But Tissaya and I always believe that the development of magic belongs to all human beings and is higher than national standards.”
"Even in the last post-war negotiations, the purpose of the Warlock Brotherhood was to try to reconcile the two sides and avoid another war."
"It's very much like a tinker, right?"
Gedimitis laughed at himself and continued without waiting for Lan En to respond.
“But we always believe that it is always good to kill fewer people and allow technology to continue to develop. This is also the difference between us old people and you radical young people.”
After a brief silence, the witcher spoke in a rational tone, his voice soft but without hesitation.
"But tinkers have their limits, Gedemitis."
"Contradictions and conflicts of interest have been put on the table. If one battle is suppressed here, another battle will be started there. , and then the scale of the battle begins to expand uncontrollably, like a forest fire in dry weather, the battle will sweep into a war."
"The era of radicalization and contempt is inevitable. This is not my ambition or my ambition. Hope, after seeing through the situation, I think that logically, things will develop like this."
"I can only say." Lan En and Gedimitis stopped and looked at each other. . "When that crazy era comes, I still hope that we can pursue rational thinking and technological progress."
The old mage didn't speak at first, just pursed his lips and nodded.
"That's not bad. It's enough."
As soon as the old mage finished speaking, Lan En suddenly heard the footsteps in front of him, and the footsteps were very close at hand.
The witcher's pupils shrank slightly, then returned to normal.
Gedimitis walked as if nothing happened, while Tisaya in front turned her head slightly, looked at the witcher, and smiled.
Lan En also followed without any abnormalities, even his steps did not change.
Among the people present, only Margarita seemed to be unaware.
This is Gedimitis, who thinks he can owe Lan En a favor.
——
On the second day, the operation went smoothly.
Relying on Tisaya to assist with spells, Lann placed the new heart in the chest of Hen Gedimitis.
Generally speaking, the body of the elderly will be fragile and sluggish, and their resilience will be greatly reduced.
But the body that has been transformed by the magic of chaos for a long time is very different from ordinary people.
Like Margarita, even though her legs were seriously injured without any medical treatment, she could still stay awake and energetic for many days.
Regardless of swordsmanship, tactics, and experience, Yennefer could still make Geralt grin with his arm strength alone.
Besides, due to Henry Gedimidis’ special status, he can enjoy the highest level of medical care.
There is an endless supply of elixirs and talismans that promote recovery and enhance vitality.
It is impossible to hide the news that he came to Aretuosa for medical treatment from anyone, because as Dean Ben Ad, he always has to ventilate the students when he is out.
He wants to use crystal cultivation technology to treat his heart disease, which is a rare event in the magic circle. So now, beside the old mage's hospital bed, not only are various magic talismans of Arethusa placed, but also people from Ben A'de are looking at them.
That was a male mage. I heard he was called Dorrega Ray. Margarita and Triss both looked weird when they talked about him. It seemed like he was in the warlock group. Not very popular.
This caused the chaotic magic in the hospital bed room to become extremely strong.
Moreover, the old mage who was still under anesthesia, the terrifying chaos magic power dissipated even more fiercely. When Lan En was still dozens of meters away from the room, the roaring bear head pendant around his neck It jumped as if it was about to fly out.
Ordinary people may get nosebleeds, iris congestion, or brain hallucinations caused by the magic of chaos if they get closer.
If the lights were darker and paired with the luxurious castle corridors of Arethusa, it would be like a castle horror movie.
After all, chaos magic has never been a gentle and easy-to-control force.
Lan En did not stay any longer. News came from the lady in the lake, and the knowledge gained by Margarita and Tisaya through the elf beacon informed him that the tide of chaotic magic was surging outside the world, and it was very soon. Will arrive soon.
After completing Hen Gedimitis's operation and finding himself a 'powerful friend', he went straight to Lake Vizima.
"It looks like the time is right, madam."
Waiting for Lan En to jump off the back of Qilin, and then when the stone floor of Dagon Temple was submerged five centimeters under the lake water, the lake The middle lady was already sitting on the throne of waves, looking at him quietly.
"Indeed." The lady in the lake's tender green fingers played with her long dark green hair in boredom, responding to Lan En.
"I smell the scent of a second woman on you. Well, it's unusual. In-depth contact."
"What? My dear champion, it seems that you are enlightened?"
< br>At first, the lady in the lake was a bit bored and lazy.
But as soon as she was halfway through speaking, there was a hint of interest in her brows.
The throne of waves held her up, approaching Lan En amid the sound of running water. The goddess on the throne leaned down and pressed close to the back of the witcher's neck, sniffing playfully.
But Lan En turned around and grabbed the flannel ball standing in the water.
The kitten was instinctively kicking its legs to shake off the water on its paws.
"Meow?"
Being suddenly picked up by the boss, the flannel ball screamed in surprise.
"Ma'am, I think now is the right time to go in."
"Huh~" Qilin, who was paddling the water with his hooves next to him, saw this and blew out hot air from his nostrils to show his contempt for Lan En.
The lady in the lake did not force herself. With a subtle smile, she let the throne of waves take her back.
In a long life, having more play and fun is not a bad thing.
The celestial sphere intersection fissure has been raised from the lake, and the space crack like a broken mirror is floating in the air.
Lan En's school necklace is making a sound, and the magic power of chaos is surging.
Not long after, driven by the wave of chaotic magic, a temporary link was established between the worlds.
Although the landscape across the crack is still distorted as if through water waves, it is stable at least.
This is what it looks like to be able to get in.
But when Lan En was about to drag Qilin, hold the flannel ball, take a deep breath and walk inside.
"What a coincidence?"
There was a surprised murmur from behind, and the shallow layer of water under his feet caught the demon hunter's feet.
When I turned around, I saw the lady in the lake widening her beautiful eyes, looking at the intersection of the celestial sphere.
However, this surprise did not last long, and the lady immediately became happy.
“Ah! That’s great!”
She cheered like an ordinary woman who met her best friend, and her eyes were full of joy.
"My dear champion~"
The lady said in a sweet voice.
"What a coincidence. This time I have a good friend in the opposite world! If possible, I hope you can bring greetings for me."
"If you can find it. Lan En scratched his head and said, "Of course, madam."
"Who is your friend?"
The lady's eyes rolled, as if searching for distant memories.
"Galadriel."
After a while, the lady in the lake definitely said a name.
“She is a beautiful female elf. If you can see her, you will never admit her mistake.”
