Dawn broke and the long harvest night came to an end.
The young witcher led the sorceress back to the witcher's hut, around the piles of bonfires that had burned to ashes in the street.
Brothers Lesso and Oaks woke up from the carnival last night, and there was no sign of anything strange on their faces. They had packed their simple luggage and were ready to go.
When the witcher and the sorceress entered the house, three pairs of sharp eyes suddenly swept across.
"Oh my god, my eyes are dizzy? I can't believe it..." Oakes covered his mouth and shouted, "What did I see? A rookie of the Viper School, actually made an appointment with a sorceress."
"Shut up, idiot! The jealousy in your eyes is about to drown people!" Serret yelled at his brother, and patted the young man on the shoulder with a look of relief, "Congratulations, Roy, you have finally become a man… "
"You have misunderstood..." Roy looked calm, stroking his wrinkled, slightly damp shirt, "I chatted with Coral all night, discussing the ideas mentioned earlier. Now that the harvest festival is over, let's talk business."
"Are you sure you can get down to business now, don't go back to the bedroom and continue to be gentle?" Leto's eyes swirled between the sorceress and the disciple. She looked like she had just taken a shower, her face was ruddy, her skin was glowing with water, and she was plump. The body sticks to the apprentice intentionally or unintentionally.
"Is the lipstick delicious?" He sneered rarely.
"Lesso... I said no!"
Beside her, the glamorous sorceress felt the hostility of the bald man, smiled, and showed off and thoughtfully tied the top button of her shirt for the person beside her.
"Ms. Rita..." Leto's pupils shrunk into a slit, and his voice was suppressed to the extreme, like the calm before the storm, "If I remember correctly, the trial of green grass ended in the Temple of Meritelli?"
"Why bother my disciple?"
Rita Ned snorted heavily, a hint of anger in her heart. But the people around her patted the back of her hand to soothe her.
"Barbarian, in the past, based on your attitude, I would freeze you into an ice sculpture and put it in the yard. For Roy's sake, I don't care about you."
"Coral, don't be angry..." Roy stepped forward to stand between the two of them, "I'm sorry Leto, I should have told you first. This time, I specially invited Coral to come and help. This trip has a long way to go. It's just too long to ride. Coral saves us a lot of time."
Many warlocks master the portal spell, and Rita Ned is no exception. She has secret bases in many countries in the north, and with the portal, she can quickly travel back and forth between these coordinates.
According to Roy's previous plan, the four witchers of the Snake faction will split their troops to find the treasures of Cogrim and Morden. Serrit and Oaks, twin brothers from Nilfgaard, had a tacit understanding and went to Toussaint together, while Roy and Leto went all the way to White Orchard.
"White Orchard in Temeria..." The sorceress rubbed her delicate chin. "Roy, I can only send you and the barbarians to Vizima. I have a house in the trade district."
"As for Serrit and Ox, I'm sorry..." the sorceress said softly, "Toussaint belongs to Nilfgaard, and I have no coordinates in the south. How about Manada? But you have to pass through Amer in the south. Mountains, I heard that the area is not very safe recently, there are royal griffins infested."
The witcher brothers looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. "It's been a long time since we haven't moved our muscles and bones, which is just right for our appetite."
…
"It's already very good, thank you Coral." Roy said sincerely,
The sorceress smiled softly, "Remember to come to me when you're done, because I didn't have enough fun last night..."
Wei Lan's eyes blinked, "I also want to learn your exclusive dance, so I can show it off in front of my sisters."
"Well, I will contact you."
"That... Ms. Rita..." Oakes raised his chest and took a deep breath, then stepped forward with his head held high, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Any problem, witcher?"
"Ms. Rita, I wonder if you have any close Warlock sisters, can you introduce... Introduce me?"
"… "
Rita Ned's purple nail-painted fingers gestured in mid-air, turning her wrists regularly, and with a clear incantation, a gust of wind blew out of thin air in the witcher's hut, and the wind blew her robes. There was a rustling sound, and after a while, a vertical opening opened in the space, as tall as one person.
As the incantation deepened, the crack widened rapidly, forming a boxy courtyard in the blink of an eye.
The sorceress's slender hand pressed into the door, and the cyclone that cut people's skin and hurt all returned to calm, and the portal was completely formed, like the mirror surface of a full-length mirror, reflecting the images of everyone.
"Take care of Wilt for me, man, it's going to have any accident..." Roy patted the brown horse on the neck, admonished, because Toussaint was a long way to go, and Brother Serret borrowed it.
"Don't worry, I will send it back to you in perfect condition!"
When their figures disappeared in the gate of Manada, the sorceress opened the second portal.
"The trade area leading to Vizima, barbarian, you go ahead and find the way for your apprentice." The sorceress had a dignified face, no doubt.
The bald man felt hesitant in the eyes of Rita Ned who was about to kill. If this woman did something on the portal, it would be easy for him to lose his body.
"Ms. Rita...you...wouldn't you be kidding me?"
"It's a crater, believe it or not?" The sorceress raised her chin slightly, with a sneer on her red lips, and Roy explained it for her.
"Don't worry, let's go in Leto, the coral will never harm you, right?"
The sorceress drooped her eyelashes.
"... Coral... how... you look so ugly."
Rita Ned glanced at Roy's concerned face, pursed her lips, and reluctantly cast a spell on the portal again, a wave of magic scattered from the portal and disappeared completely.
"This... the portal just now... did you really use the means?" The bald witcher wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I originally planned to give you a little punishment. It won't kill you. At most, it will make the process of your teleportation not so smooth, and you will vomit for a while." Rita Ned looked as it should be, as if she did A trivial little thing. "Who told you to always disturb me and your little apprentice, we still have private topics to discuss!"
The witcher suddenly turned his head and looked serious, "Little devil... Actually, it's not bad to go to White Orchard on horseback."
"But Ma has been taken away by Serrit." Roy stared at the sorceress, "Coral, can you enter now?"
"Even you doubt me?"
"How could..." Roy gave Lexo a wink.
"Don't worry, I don't want to be chased to death by the snake demon hunters and make you hate me for a lifetime. It's absolutely safe now."
"Then I'll trust you again." The bald-headed man glanced deeply at his apprentice helplessly, "Remember to follow up early, and don't hang around with her for too long!"
The bald-headed man closed his eyes, pinched his nose, and his strong body like a hill jumped in.
"It's finally quiet." Rita Niedersu brushed her hand in the air, and a small, snow-white Qianzhi crane was shaped from nothingness and stood firmly in her palm. Then, she stuffed the Qianzhi crane into the Roy said, "There is a one-way portal in this magic thousand paper cranes, leading to my studio in Karak, tearing it up can trigger it."
"Remember," the sorceress continued in his ear, "the magic portal disappears immediately after passing through one person."
After saying all this, the sorceress gave the boy a warm hug.
"va faill... roy..."
Then, he was pushed into the teleportation gate, and the world was spinning in an instant. The whole world faded from color, and his body kept bumping and sometimes floating like weightlessness, making him feel as if he was sitting on a fragile canoe, rowing on the turbulent waves, some Passengers get seasick, like White Wolf, and getting him into the portal is harder than killing him.
Usually the sharper the perception, the more uncomfortable the body is.
But Roy held back, and soon, the strong discomfort receded like a tide, and when he came back to his senses and opened his eyes, he was already in another completely unfamiliar room.
Luxurious velvet gauze curtains, bright yellow walls, a sorceress's standard telescopic mirror, crystals, and a heavy locked wooden box full of miscellaneous items, with a pot of lilies by the window.
There is also a hammock hanging between the two walls.
A bald man was lying on it bored.
"Little devil, are you willing to come from the gentle village? To be honest, did you hook up with Rita Ned at the Temple of Meritelli?"
"What nonsense?!" Roy ignored Leto's jokes and opened the window to let the warm sunlight in.
He looked at the clean street below, well-dressed pedestrians, this is the Vizima trade area, the gathering place of the rich.
"If you want to have a romantic relationship, just find any ordinary girl, I don't mind! But the sorceress is different, there must be another purpose in targeting you. Think of her methods just now, freewheeling, cunning and sophisticated. You How could such a young man be an opponent? Accidentally, he was 'nothing left to eat'."
"You underestimate the heir to the blood of the ancients!"
Lesuo heard the words, his tone became a little subtle,
"Then what were you and Rita Ned doing last night?"
"Routine inspection..." Roy explained lightly, "Coral said that she has made a breakthrough in the research of the grass trial, and she needs to check my body and get some research data. After all, I was her first to preside over the grass trial ceremony. Witcher."
"And, to realize my vision... Forget it, not to mention the 'Brotherhood'. If we want to revitalize the school, we must have a stable and cooperative spellcaster, and Coral is good, she already has relevant experience and has always been very interested in this area. interested."
"Let the ghost go! Honestly, did you do anything else when you checked your body?" Leto continued to ask,
"What do you mean?"
"Don't be stupid."
"Why are you obsessed with this question?"
Leto's tone stagnated, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his amber pupils, "Ox has to bet with me? For two months of wine money, I bet you haven't ended your virginity."
Roy shrugged and walked straight out of the door.
