Chapter 802: Leaving Toussaint
Although the method provided by Nilfgaard Empire Liaison Officer Baron Leonard is simple, it is absolutely effective. It is absolutely impossible for Fringilla Vigo to disobey the Nilfgaard Empire's orders.
For a moment, everyone had smiles on their faces, feeling that it wouldn't take long to get rid of the Knight of Light.
As the host, Count Britta also stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and prepared to give a congratulation to the upcoming victory of their temporarily formed alliance of reflective knights.
Everyone else also stood up and held their glasses high.
At this moment, the bell of the bell tower in the distance rang, and Count Britta's whole body exploded instantly like a burst bubble. Countless flesh and blood splashed out behind him, forming a line of flesh and blood of more than ten meters.
The only thing left of him was the half of his body below the tabletop still standing there.
What happened in front of them was so sudden that everyone froze on the spot and did not react for a long time. It was not until a woman screamed in horror that everyone realized what had happened. She went crazy and hid under cover.
They were looking around in great horror, hoping to find something. After hearing the screams, the knights and attendants guarding outside also rushed in. They were stunned when they saw the flesh and blood on the ground and half of their bodies.
, and then looked for Count Britta in the crowd.
When these knights of Earl Britta heard that the dead man was their master, they were all stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.
After the panic, the nobles seemed to realize something and expressed their intention to leave. Regardless of the knights' obstruction, they walked out of the Earl's villa one after another with their heads hanging down. The knights only stopped them intentionally and did not stop them at all.
They didn't dare to really stop these nobles, and at this time, some servants went to look for the sheriff under the orders of the steward.
The great nobleman who was still competing with Count Britta for the leadership of the Knights of Reflection Alliance was now so frightened that his body was still shaking even when he was sitting in the carriage.
At this time, a nobleman sitting next to him who had a good relationship with him said in a deep voice: "Do you think it was..."
"Shut up!" The nobleman turned his head and glared at the nobleman fiercely, and said: "Shut up, we don't know anything, we just attended a banquet, do you understand? We don't have any alliance of reflective knights.
, there’s nothing, you know?”
"I know, I know!" the noble nodded in agreement.
At the same time, there are also many people who have the same idea as this great nobleman, and these people are destined to have a difficult time tonight.
When these nobles fled Count Britta's villa in panic, and Count Britta's house was in chaos, a towering bell tower stood on a hillside in the Beauclair area three or four kilometers away from Count Britta's house.
There, the big clock on the top of the bell tower finished its last ringing not long ago, informing the residents of Beauclair City of the current time. On the roof of the bell tower, Leo in armor stood on top, watching calmly.
In the direction of Count Britta's villa, holding the king in his hand.
Killing Count Britta is as simple as killing a bug for Leo, but what he needs is not just the death of Count Britta, but also the death of Count Britta to make some guys calm down a little bit, at least
Calm down for a while before he and Sylvia leave.
Count Britta's move to hold a banquet in his villa just created the best opportunity for Leo, so the moment the bell of the bell tower at his feet rang, Leo used the cover of the bell to use the king's voice.
The gun killed Count Britta.
In order to achieve the best effect, Leo specifically controlled the range of the explosive bullet, only shattering Count Britta's upper body without affecting others.
After that, Leo stood on the high tower, watching the people in the manor hiding in fear, and then saw them leaving Count Britta's villa like rats scurrying.
Although he didn't know how much effect Count Britta's death would bring, he was sure that at least before he and Sylvia left, these people would not jump out and cause trouble again.
After returning to the station, Leo briefly explained Count Britta's situation, and Sylvia just nodded.
The next day, what happened at Count Britta's villa spread quickly in Beauclair City. Everyone knew that Count Britta's entire upper body had turned into minced flesh and blood, although there was no clear
Evidence, but almost everyone who heard the news thought that this was something that could only be done by magic, and in the entire Beauclair, the only person who could practice with such a powerful magic was Fringilla Vigo.
For a time, various rumors circulated frequently in the market, and all of them, without exception, indicated that Fringilla and Count Britta had an old grudge.
However, this rumor did not spread for long before it was broken, because when Count Britta died, Fringilla Vigo was staying with the Duchess at Beauclair Palace, and there were also several loyal palace officials with her.
, discuss the second round of negotiations with Belhaven to redeem some of the civilians in the Belhaven territory.
After the rumors about Fringilla stopped, a new rumor soon spread, but this rumor was not as widely spread as the previous rumor about Fringilla. This rumor even caused the overwhelming majority of
People's plan.
In this rumor, the protagonist becomes Sylvia, the knight of light, and an alliance of anti-light knights is also involved. Count Britta is one of the leaders of the alliance. Their alliance wants to deal with the light.
The Knight of Light has seized various rights from the Knight of Light, and now this alliance is gradually disintegrating the allies of the Knight of Light around the Duchess. For this reason, the Knight of Light took action in advance and killed one of the leaders of the alliance.
Count Britta.
After the rumor about Sylvia spread, everyone was stunned at first, and then felt angry. They were angry not because they thought the rumor was false, but because they were angry that the nobles dared to form an alliance to deal with it.
The death of Count Britta, the Knight of Light whom they called the Saint, suddenly became a well-deserved incident.
As this rumor spread, someone asked the Duchess to investigate the organization of the Anti-Light Knight Alliance, and the Duchess agreed to the investigation and handed over the investigation work to the Duke's Guards.
"Why did you spread this matter as a rumor?" After hearing various rumors from Beauclair City, Leo couldn't help but turned to look at Sylvia who was processing some documents and asked.
"It's very simple. Only in this way can I truly stay out of the matter." Sylvia smiled and said: "They would never have thought that such rumors would be spread by me. They would only think that it was spread by someone within their ranks.
In a short period of time, they have to deal with the Duchess's investigation and review internal people, so they don't have extra time to think about other things. Although what you did yesterday was enough to calm them down for a while, there may be some
People can get crazy and do stupid things, so give them something to do."
Leo frowned and asked: "How do you know that the Duchess will investigate the Alliance of Reflective Knights? This matter seems to be good for her, right? Let you fight this alliance, and then she can become the last
The beneficiary.”
"Leo, promise me, you will never enter politics." Sylvia looked at Leo, shook her head helplessly, and said: "I am about to leave Toussaint, even if I fight with those people, how long can I fight?
, do you think those people will disperse after I leave? They will definitely continue to maintain this alliance, and who will they target at this time? Although the duchess looks like a vase, she can make Tao
Cente still maintains her autonomy in front of the Nilfgaard Empire, and holds most of the power in Toussaint. Her political acumen is not as simple as her appearance. I think she will break up that alliance before I leave.
"
In the next two days, no news came out about whether the Duchess had found the member of the Knights of Reflection League, but Dandelion's punishment had already been announced. It was not known whether it was because the Duchess missed her old relationship or because of Flynn.
Gila said good things, and in short Dandelion's death penalty has been cancelled, but he is no longer allowed to stay in Toussaint, and must be escorted out of Toussaint by the Duke's Guards in a few days, and permanently expelled from the mirror.
Geralt had nothing to say about this result, and thought it was the best result, and decided to leave Toussaint. However, a sudden news forced him to give up escorting Dandelion away, and
It was decided to set off south to Aibing immediately.
This news was overheard by Geralt after receiving a mission. At that time, he received a mission to clear out monsters in the castle. After completing the mission, he somehow wanted to explore the castle to see what he could do.
I couldn't find anything useful inside, so I accidentally entered an underground secret room in the castle, and found some magic devices in the secret room. I also learned from the magic devices that this was actually a secret stronghold of Wilgefortz.
And he also learned the location of another secret stronghold of Wilgefortz.
Now that he has determined the location of a secret stronghold of Vilgefortz, although Geralt is not sure whether Ciri was captured by Vilgefortz, he is still unwilling to stay in Toussaint any longer and decides to
Set off that day, leave Toussaint, and go to that stronghold to investigate.
After receiving Geralt's notice, Leo and Sylvia naturally went together. Fortunately, they were already prepared. Sylvia also said that her dragon hunter armor and weapons were handed over to the Knights and the Knights respectively.
Church, what he is wearing now is another set of knight armor newly made by Leo, and it is also the only set of armor among the four knights, the King's Blade Armor.
Among the armors of the Four Knights, because King Blade Kyalan is the only knight who specializes in assassination and needs to be silent and sensitive, her armor is mainly made of leather, and its defense power is naturally not comparable to other armors.
However, Leo did not make it exactly according to the King's Blade Armor, because he could use a lot more materials than when making the Dragon Hunter Armor, so he made many more attempts to modify the armor. After more than a dozen modifications,
Finally, the King's Blade Armor was transformed into a set of armor composed of metal and petrified lizard skin. Its defensive power is not much weaker than that of metal armor, and it is more sensitive.
Although she had changed her armor, she did not completely change into the weapon of the King's Blade Knight. She used the two short blades of gold and dark silver made by Leo as close-quarters weapons, and still asked Leo to make another one.
Dragon hunting spear.
Geralt's team all came to meet up at the Knights of Light's station, and Fringilla also came here, but neither she nor Geralt had any conversation alone, only a few words with Sylvia.
After that, Sylvia brought out the best horses of the knights, one for each person, so that everyone could reach their destination as quickly as possible.
Because the decision to leave was so sudden, no one from the Knights was stationed at the station, and the ordinary people in Toussaint were even less aware of it. This made Sylvia leave quietly, while others were in Towson.
Te lived a very happy life, and many people even decided to live in Toussaint when they grow old, so everyone was quite sad when they left.
However, the sadness did not last long, as everyone focused on the road.
The Principality of Toussaint is surrounded by mountains. This special terrain also allows the Principality of Toussaint to be like spring all year round. This is also the reason why the elves will build a country here. However, because of this special terrain, the Principality of Toussaint is only
Being able to rely on a few roads to connect to the outside.
There is also a waterway, the Yelena River, which can directly pass through the mountains and reach the outside world of Medina, which is the largest alliance country of the Nilfgaard Empire.
However, due to the cold wave, the Yelena River, which flows all year round, began to freeze, making this route impassable. Although now as the temperature warms, the ice on the river begins to melt and crack, but the route is still unavailable.
Because walking on such a river, the broken ice can easily cut a big hole in the bottom of the boat.
Although he couldn't leave by boat, Geralt still wanted to make use of the river. He thought it would be easier to follow the river all the way south with clear directions than walking through the snowy mountains and forests.
Walk some.
So, the group of people headed south along the banks of the Yelena River. Although they encountered some mountain stream-shaped rivers without river banks in the process, which required a long detour, everything went smoothly and without any danger.
During this journey, Sylvia also established a good relationship with Milva, Angoulein and the others, and taught them some fighting skills, and asked Leodo to bring them a few bottles of healing potions for self-defense.
