"Get something to drink, Roche, my throat is going to smoke."
Foltest shouted without looking back.
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 stout were placed in front of Foltest and Lan.
This man always has a straight chin, squinted eyes, and wears a tattered cloth hat on his head.
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 all good qualities.
Not everyone can face a creature that slaughtered more than two hundred elite warriors without trembling in their legs.
After delivering the drinks, Roche returned to his original position.
"He is a great warrior, right"
Foltest took a big sip and chuckled at Roche, who was pointing at Lan behind him.
“The son of a prostitute, he wallowed in the stinking ditch and was dug up by me, and grew up to this point. 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 train 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 settled those children?"
Compared to a piece of meat that has lost its life, Lan En still cares more about living people.
Foltest dealt with the matter immediately after burning his cousin's body.
"They will be taken care of and then reconnected with their families and returned to their families."
"My guess is that you don't just return them to their families. "They are certainly needed to deal with Stysa's legacy of reputation, but at the same time, the greater their reputation, the safer it will be."
Tacitly, the two people on both sides of the dinner table clinked glasses with each other.
"Now, let's talk about you."
Putting down the glass, Foltest snapped his fingers behind him.
It was still a man named Luo Qi. He was carrying a bag of packages that looked very heavy and walked towards the dining table.
"Five thousand orens, as well as the plate armor accessories you removed in Vizima and the good horse, to repay you for cutting off a slave trade chain. Although for me 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 Maliu at the table. He picked up the package in Roche's hand with both hands.
It’s heavy, but Alia is very happy.
That was such a weight that even the blood of Running Wolf 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 can still get satisfactory rewards after doing good deeds?
Watching Lan Enshou After placing the money, Foltest nodded.
"If you have asked the children, don't ask Merigold"
"She is a royal advisor who has safeguarded the interests of the royal family in the incident. I am not worried about her." Necessary."
Lan En's non-commitment 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 topic to her friend with great powers. , that is, in you. 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. Now, because of your existence, they not only show these complex areas to my advisors, but they even want Merigold to run into their own power and take advantage of it. Just because she has a friend like you. Everything I see becomes friendly."
"Power is an aphrodisiac, Lan. I can guarantee that if you appear in front of Merigold now, the two of you will. I won’t get out of bed for a week.”
Lan En took a sip from his wine glass.
Damn, the feudal king is very knowledgeable
Can he do this for a week?
Is the sorceress a monster?
Lan En, who originally looked like a little boy, now has a little redness at the tips of his ears.
But Foltest’s tone became serious after telling the dirty jokes.
“The appearance of a warrior who can 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 "Yeah."
"Do you know what they call you?"
As Foltest's tone became serious, Lan En's relaxed expression calmed down.
"They call you Lord Hunter."
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 middle-class and too knightly."
Lan En's dislike did not change the king's attitude.
“The style of your name is not important, what is important is their attitude towards you.”
“Some are afraid of you and will kill the powerful regardless of you, while others think they can lend you a hand. Eradicating the enemy is a method that breaks the rules of the game. It is not surprising that it was fought for and used in the early days. But as the king, I cannot let the situation continue to deteriorate."
Lan En can imagine. The attitude of the big shots in Vizima towards themselves.
Of course there is fear and fear, but in the face of the benefits that one can bring, these things are nothing.
There will always be people who want to take advantage of oneself. After all, although one is strong, but You can't know everything, right?
Concoct some crimes for your opponents that are outrageous to both humans and gods, and then leak them to the market. I can still investigate everything in detail
And a warrior who is so powerful that it is beyond common sense will not only bring deterrence, but also 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 pretty good."
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."
p>"I will take it as you are complimenting me. Then I can do something 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."< /p>
Vegima 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 the princess being cursed probably only happens once every few hundred years."
p>Lan En agreed indifferently.
