Seven hundred and fortieth chapters blood and wine

Leo asked in a deep voice: "Then if I encounter the same situation, do I need to follow your method to test whether it is true or false?"

Sylvia didn't answer, just looked at him.

Leo shrugged and said nothing more.

The two continued walking towards the mountainside, but this time they were no longer as far apart as before, and they also looked after each other, always keeping each other within their sight.

I don't know how long they walked, but Leo stopped, looked around, and said, "We should be in thick fog now."

Sylvia also looked around and understood why Leo said this, because all the plants around her had turned into weird plants that she didn't recognize, and all the plants belonging to the Velen world had disappeared. In addition, the rain falling from the sky

It's gotten a lot hotter, and there's a pungent smell of sulfur in the rain.

"How do we go now?" Sylvia asked.

Leo did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment, then pointed to the right and said: "Go this way!"

After saying that, he walked in the opposite direction of his finger.

Sylvia was stunned for a moment when she saw it, and quickly chased after him, saying, "You're going in the wrong direction."

Leo shook his head and explained: "Don't trust your sense of direction. Any sense of direction you have here, any common sense of identifying directions in the normal world is wrong. The only thing you can rely on is intuition."

Sylvia frowned, as if it was difficult to accept such a statement, but she didn't say anything more and just followed Leo in what she thought was the wrong direction.

After walking for about ten minutes, Sylvia felt that she should remind Leo again that it was not too late to turn back and find the right path.

But at this time, the trees in front suddenly began to become sparse, and the weeds disappeared. Walking a little further, you can see that the trees have also become sparse, and the sulfur-smelling rain has also weakened.

After walking for about two minutes, a bright light appeared in the gap between the woods ahead. They quickened their pace and finally passed through the woods and entered it.

From darkness to light, Sylvia, who had not received any training, took some time for her eyes to return to normal. However, after returning to normal, the sight that greeted her eyes made her take a breath.

It's not that the scene in front of her is bad, but the scenery here is so beautiful. She has been to so many places and there is absolutely no place that can compare with this place, the blue sky, bright flowers, green leaves,

The fresh air and the breeze blowing down from the distant snow-capped mountains make this place not feel hot even when the sun is shining brightly.

Then, she turned to look at the woods behind her, and looked up at the sky to see what kind of rain clouds could rain such hot, sulfur-smelling rain, but she found that the woods she had walked through before had disappeared.

Behind him was only a field full of strange fruits. There were no rain clouds in the sky, only some thin white clouds floating slowly.

Sylvia was confused by what she saw and couldn't tell whether this was an illusion or reality. She turned around and was about to ask Leo for help, but she found that Leo was looking at him with a look of surprise and confusion.

In the field next to it, there is that weird fruit propped up on a shelf.

The reason why this kind of fruit is weird is that it hangs on a fragile vine and needs a bracket to hold it up. Moreover, each fruit is composed of many small fruits, hanging down in a big bunch, it feels like

Same as fish eggs.

"Do you know this kind of fruit?" Sylvia saw Leo's expression and asked.

"Yes." Leo nodded and admitted, "This fruit is called grape."

"Grapes?" Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and thought of the grape plantations in the Bordeaux region, and said, "Aren't grapes that oval-shaped fruit with a layer of peel on the outside and full of juice inside?"

"Yes, those are grapes from Velen's world." Leo knew there would be such a dance, so he explained: "These are grapes from other worlds."

He added something in his mind and said: "This is the grape of my world."

Leo walked to a vine full of fruits, then picked two fruits, ate one himself, and handed the other to Sylvia.

"Is this edible?" Sylvia took the pearl-sized fruit and looked at it. Seeing that Leo was fine with eating it, she also stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it twice, but soon spit out the fruit.

He came out, vomited several times, rinsed his mouth with the small water bottle he brought with him, and then shouted at Leo: "It tastes so bad, sour and astringent, how can you eat it?"

Leo smiled and said: "These are grapes used for winemaking. Of course they are sour and astringent. I don't want them to be as sweet as table grapes, but the wine brewed from these grapes should be very good."

At this time, at the end of this pastoral path, a human dressed like a farmer from the old lords era hundreds of years ago ran towards them and spoke loudly to them in a language they had never heard before.

It looked like he was questioning them.

After hearing this person's words, Leo responded very quickly as if he was born to understand this person's language, then asked a few more questions as if asking questions, and then took out a gold shield from his pocket.

He handed it to the person. After the person took it, his angry expression changed and he changed into a smile. Every time Leo asked a question in that unknown language, he answered it in great detail and pointed a few times.

direction.

After asking seven or eight questions like this, Leo signaled that he could leave, and then took Sylvia up the path on the edge of the field and walked in one direction.

"What's going on? How do you understand that person's language?" Sylvia, suppressing her curiosity, asked impatiently.

"This language is not the language of the Velen world. It comes from another world." Leo didn't know how to explain to Sylvia that the language he spoke and the language spoken by the people here were actually from the old Earth era of the Earth Federation.

the language of a certain country.

Sylvia looked at Leo as if he were a fool, because Leo's answer was completely nonsense. In this environment and situation, no matter how stupid people are, they know that they have come to another world. What is used in this world?

The language is naturally the language of another world.

Sylvia stopped worrying about the language and asked instead: "Do you know where this is?"

"I think I should know where this is." Leo said with a serious expression.

"Should?" Hearing Leo's unconfident tone, Sylvia couldn't help but look at Leo curiously.

Leo was silent for a moment and said: "I just heard about a place from a friend, but I don't know much about that place. I just asked the farmer what it was called, and he answered that the name was the one my friend mentioned.

The name of that place, I just don’t know if they are the same place.”

"What is this place called?" Sylvia asked again.

"Toussaint, the land of blood and wine." Leo explained.

When he was in Lake Town, Leo met a woman who also came from another world. That woman was named Jivielle. He got along very well with this woman and learned the alchemy and seals of the witcher from this woman.

, these two pieces of knowledge helped him a lot later on, especially the Witcher Seal, which allowed him to gradually sort out his own offensive and defensive psychic skills. Even now, he still uses the power of nightmares to imitate them many times.

The witcher's sigil comes out to coordinate with other psychic skills.

At that time, Jivielle would mention some places in her hometown when chatting, such as Sintra, Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, Thaned Island, etc., and Toussaint was also her focus.

The mentioned place, in her words, was like a fairyland, with spring all year round, blooming flowers, lush plants, wine made from countless grapes, and countless knights fighting for glory.

etc.

Of course, she also mentioned the history of Toussaint and the history of bloody massacres against elves, so later she also revealed the nickname her world gave Toussaint, the Land of Blood and Wine.

On the way to a nearby town, Leo introduced the world and Toussaint's affairs to Sylvia in detail.

Sylvia listened very carefully and carefully, and posted messages from time to time, especially interested in the knights of Toussaint.

You must know that Sylvia is a native of France. The French Knights have occupied the number one position in the world for a long time. If it were not for the emergence of infantry weapons such as steam engine crossbows, the French Knights might still be the most powerful on the world military stage.

gem.

When Sylvia was disguised as Baron de Maupassant, she had been knighted and received very formal knight training. That kind of knightly feeling was not something people from other countries could experience, so when she heard that knights were popular in Toussaint

When I was there, I had an idea in my mind.

"How do you know so much about things here?" After listening to Leo's narration, Sylvia couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Did you get so much information just in the conversation just now?"

"Of course it's impossible." Leo shook his head and said, "When I was in Lake Town, I met a friend from another world. She is from Toussaint."

"Her?" Sylvia replied meaningfully.

Leo didn't realize the problem in Sylvia's tone, and said to himself: "Her name is Jiviera. In the language here, it is a bird called a swallow. If you meet her, what will you do?

If you like her, she has a very similar personality to yours."

The two walked a certain distance and happened to meet a carriage transporting new wine barrels. They then got on the carriage and came to a nearby town.

The town is not big, and can only be regarded as a village. There are more than a dozen houses scattered around the fountain in the middle of the town. The houses are very simple, and they are the kind of huts made of wood and mud bricks.

Most of the people living in the town are workers and farmers working in the nearby vineyards. The town and the surrounding vineyards belong to a Temerian earl. The earl was extremely obsessed with winemaking, so he sold all his wine.

The Temerian family moved to Toussaint to buy a suitable land to cultivate grapes and make fine wine.

However, the best land in Toussaint was divided up by the local nobles. The rest was the exclusive land of the Toussaint royal family and could not be sold, so he could only buy a piece of land in a relatively remote place to realize his dream.

Winemaking dreams.

Because of its remote location, there are no entertainment activities here. The only place that can provide entertainment is the only tavern in the town. There is no hotel, so if you want to spend the night, you can only spend the night in a utility room in the backyard of the tavern.

Neither Leo nor Sylvia are particularly particular people. Even if they don't have a room, they can be particular about having a house for one night in the wild.

While Sylvia was cleaning up the house, Leo, who understood the local language, went to the tavern and chatted with the local grape growers and winemakers for a while.

When these Toussaint people saw Leo's clothing that was obviously different from the local style, they regarded Leo as a stranger who came to participate in the knights meeting, but encountered local robbers, so they comforted Leo.

While talking happily, he told many local stories about Toussaint.

After getting the words out of these people, Leo returned to the utility room. Sylvia had already tidied up the place. Although sleeping here would not be very comfortable, at least there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The place.

"Did you ask for anything useful?" Sylvia asked impatiently after Leo came back.

Leo told him exactly what he asked about, such as the Knights Conference that was being held, the annual Wine Festival was about to be held, and the fact that it was so far away from the royal city of Toussaint on horseback.

It will take at least a day to leave, and the road is very dangerous. It would be safer to go with a patrol composed of wandering knights.

After hearing the news from Leo, Sylvia was very interested in the Knights Conference and the Wandering Knights. After asking about related matters, she decided that she would dress up as a Wandering Knight and participate in the Knights Conference to make up for her lack of experience in the Knights Conference.

It is a pity that Fran could not participate in the real knight's tournament.

Leo had no objection to Sylvia's eagerness to realize her dream. He also thought it was a good idea to become a wandering knight, but now he was more concerned about other things, one of which was money.

They don't know how long they will stay here, so life requires money, and now the only thing he can really use is the Savile Gold Shield, because gold is still a hard currency here, even if it is not the national currency, as long as it is gold, it can still be used

.

But the problem is that he doesn't have many gold shields on hand. If he wants to disguise himself as a wandering knight, he must at least buy a knight's armor and a horse. Even if he doesn't buy the armor ready-made and make it himself, he still needs to spend a lot of money, and the remaining money is just

There are very few, and I don’t know when it will be used up.

So before running out, he had to find other ways to make money, and now he thought of a temporary method, which was to imitate the wandering knights in attacking the bandits in Toussaint, and accept employment tasks from some local nobles, so that they could wander
