But it's a pity, whether it's Natalis, Sdennis, or Sakia, they plan to take a break before discussing the rest. Baron Dart grabbed a maid and whispered to the maid with a gentle smile. It stands to reason that there was no such link. Only the servants gave food and water to the observers. The kings had to wait until sunset before returning to the camp to eat. This was suddenly proposed by Shir Tanshavier, and none of the participants objected except Radovide. Under the scorching sun, it's hard for anyone to object to taking a break and drinking some water to moisturize the throat.

Radovide felt a little uneasy, he hated this sudden additional situation. Turning his head and looking behind him, the heavily armed flame rose knights loyal to him were waiting at the entrance of the venue. This made Ladovide breathe a sigh of relief again, took the wine glass, looked at his reflection in the glass, sneered, and put it back on the tray.

Dirty warlock.

"Your majesty the king, your marshal, and your baron." Kaduin stepped forward holding a roll of parchment. "Please allow me to go back to the current topic. As previously confirmed. This is a revised copy of the statutes found on Sinide Island. The most important of these are the responsibilities of the sorcerer order, the arrangement of the resident mage, and the appointment The problem with the Wang’s magic consultant. In the past, the sorcerer group would arrange for wizards to be stationed in various places to ensure that the local farmland would not be destroyed by torrential rains, prevent landslides and earthquakes, and the monsters in the sewers would not invade residents. Wang’s consultants would encounter them in the country. Provide advice and help during magic disasters, and liaise with the sorcerer sect. In the past, such people were carefully selected, but now the sorcerer advisers appointed by various countries are obviously not competent. They only know how to use fire and lightning to kill people, but In other respects, I don’t know anything. There are no wizards stationed in other towns, and a heavy rain can make the local farmland cropless. Therefore, the order of the order will first start with the appointment of resident warlocks."

"I have a question, Your Excellency Kaduin." Radovide raised his hand and motioned Kaduin to shut up. "Why can't we appoint a warlock ourselves?"

"Your Majesty, these people bear heavy responsibilities, and the Warlock Order must confirm that they are competent." Kaduin said. "We will carefully select talented warlocks who know how to score points, rather than those who only know how to slacken their beards but are useless, because once there is a large-scale magic disaster, stationing warlocks is the first line of defense."

"But who knows if there will be a magical disaster?" Ladovide continued to ask rhetorically. "In other words, whether the magic disaster erupts or not depends entirely on your warlocks? If you want it to erupt, you will make one. If you don't want it to erupt, you will put the magic in a cage—that is, your body."

"Not so, Your Majesty. No one can control the magic of Chaos like you describe it, no one can control it like this. And the magic disaster is not far away from us, just thirty-seven years ago, the Order of the Warlocks was in order to seal The ancient artifact discovered by archaeologists lost three excellent warlocks, and a female warlock lost half of her face in the explosion. Human beings are not the first races to reach this land. There used to be many races on this land. , But most of them went extinct or disappeared, and they have a very important relationship with magic. The warlock cult has one of the most important duties to prevent human beings from entering the end of the ancient race."

"Alarming talk." Radovide waved his hand. "The warlock you appointed will only remember the issues that the order is concerned about. It will become your spy to be placed by the king's side."

"Your Majesty, it is obvious that the primary consideration of the Warlock Order is the prosperity and well-being of the Northern Kingdom." Kaduin's face was serious. "Every member who was nominated to join the Warlock Council signed their names on it, and now only Shir Tanshavier. After waiting for your majesty's signature, the order can officially start to operate."

"Without the seal of our royal family, you can at best assign advisors to the shepherds." Radovide sullenly. "I'm fed up with spies chattering in the palace, and I will not tolerate such spies going deep into every corner of the kingdom. Kaduin, I hope you make it clear that I am willing to talk to you because of your reputation for justice. But this does not mean that I am willing to sign a document that allows spies to enter Redania in a fair manner."

"Your Majesty, this is completely different from what you promised in the past." Kaduin frowned. "Before the summit began, you promised to support the reconstruction of the Warlock Order."

"I promised. I will not make fun of my reputation, Kaduin. But I must doubt that your Warlock Order will not participate in the kingdom's internal affairs as you promised. When one party fails to keep the promise. At that time, the other party naturally does not need to comply."

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Radovide looked at Ambassador Hillard.

"Yes, everyone." Hillard nodded, and he took a step forward, holding his cane. "Kings, marshals and barons, please listen to me say a few words before you sign this document."

The first thousand nine hundred and twenty-six chapters Hillard's accusation

"My tribute, sir. This matter has nothing to do with Nilfgaard. The Warlock Order is an organization in the north. I don't understand why the ambassador of the Empire will speak on this matter." Kaduin's tone was unhappy. He was one of the few warlocks who survived on Sinide Island that year. He knew what role Nilfgaard played in the coup. He strongly opposed the Nilfgaard mission to participate in the Lomune Summit, but he could not match the insistence of Radovide and Hensett. "If it is not necessary, you can discuss the topics you want to exchange with others after the meeting."

"King Hensett invited me. Do you want to deny my right to speak?"

Hillard straightened up and waved his cane. The guard on the side took out a set of blood-stained armor and threw it in front of Kaduin.

"What does this mean?"

"In Lomugne, someone tried to kill me the night before. An organization and an assassin they hired tried to take the life of an imperial diplomatic envoy on your land. If it weren't for my commander desperately resisted, you would be today. Can't see me here."

"This is just a torn garment stained with blood, basically..."

What Kaduin was about to say, Radovide immediately asked Hillard. "I think you have found the clue and trace of the murderer?"

Everything seems to be rehearsed.

Kaduin closed his mouth, thinking of the warning sent by someone before, and his excellent political sense and vigilance immediately made him realize that the situation was not right.

Hensett invited the Nilfgaard mission to the summit, but Ladovide did not object to this matter. He privately promised that he would support the establishment of the Sorcerer's Order and is willing to provide sponsorship. But now, Radovide was the only person in the meeting who explicitly questioned the reconstruction of the order, and he was the only northern king who echoed Nilfgad.

"Yes, Your Majesty Ladovide, I have found it." Hillard nodded. "There is clear evidence that among the sorcerers, there is an organization claiming to be a female sorcerer's assembly, which is suspected of planning an assassination. The action of Ertest. Moreover, they also sent an assassin to assassinate me. Although the assassin who assassinated me escaped, I got information before attending the summit that the assassin in the Sorceress Hall was preparing to assassinate Her Royal Highness Princess Yada."

"It's the queen." Saqiya corrected.

Natalis stood up from his chair suddenly.

"What's going on?! Tell me, Hillard, what's going on!" As he said, the marshal turned around. "Roche, take your guards to protect Your Highness Yada!"

"Yes, sir, I'll do it right now." Roche called on the guards on standby behind him. Half of the Tamorian soldiers in the hall held their shields and walked out of the hall. But Natalis didn't notice, and there was no tension on Roche's face.

"Actually, it's not necessary," Radovide said loudly. "My wife is very safe in Camp Ridania. There are hundreds of soldiers protecting her, and she has no habit of running around. Staying in the camp, no assassin can approach her for a hundred steps. Before coming here, I specifically told her to stay in the camp with peace of mind and not go to other places."

Watching the Tamorian guards walk out of the venue, Ladovede exhaled expressionlessly.

"Your Excellency Hillard, please continue to tell us, what plots have you discovered among the warlocks?"

"This is nonsense!" Kaduin's voice suppressed anger. "Just because of a torn cloth that was stained with blood, do you want to claim that some of the warlocks participated in the assassination of the king?"

"Listen to the ambassador first, Your Excellency Kaduin." Radovide spread his hands. "I will not condone any assassination of the king, and I think everyone here will not tolerate such behavior. I am a tolerant person, but my tolerance will not be given to those who try to harm the world. As long as there is such a behavior I will investigate the clues, no matter if the person who provided the clues is a messenger from the South or a beggar from Redania. Please continue, Your Excellency."

"The Sorcerer’s Assembly hopes to get rid of all the rulers who are against the wizard’s will. We once caught a king killer, but unfortunately, the Sorceress used a conspiracy to get him to escape. But before he escaped, I passed The interrogation compiled a list of female warlocks who participated in the conspiracy: Philippa Erhardt, Margarita Lawx-Antille, Triss Merigold, Keira Metz, Fran Siska Findabe, Ida Emin. And the last one-Shir Tanshavier. At the same time, I would like to express my deepest regrets, the two Sorceresses of Nilfgard-Ai Shiray Anachen and Fringeira Wige are also members of the Sorcerer's Hall. The emperor will deal with them appropriately in accordance with the law."

"Have you heard, Your Majesty Francesca, they are talking about you and your girlfriends, accusing you of treason, and you will be sentenced to death soon." The voice of the man in the black tights carried A trace of pride. Upstairs in the main hall, in a secret tower that no one has ever known. A mysterious tower without any entrance, hidden in the deep mountains, only reachable by a specific teleportation spell, decorated with crystal chandeliers that do not belong to the barren mountains outside the tower. "Your reputation may become very bad, and it may even affect the reputation and fate of the elves in this land. Of course, in order to thank you for your generosity before, we are willing to lend a helping hand to our friends, but you also know that Everything in the empire requires money, a large sum of money."

Twelve people sat on the round table. Francesca's pale blue eyes looked around.

She is the thirteenth.

"As we all know, the accusation requires at least one witness and one physical evidence. But unfortunately, our Ambassador Hillard now has only one blood-stained clothes that everyone can take out. Maybe a beggar can take out two? Then in this world Every beggar is a witness to the king-killing conspiracy." Her voice was calm and sweet.

They want to blackmail me. Francesca thought. Oh, this is where the future will rule the world behind the scenes. The secret room of the Sorceress Hall is nothing compared to here. Anyone who wants to get a place here must show enough strength and then deal with different difficulties, otherwise there is no wealth, and the wild wolves here will rush to eat up the newcomers. It is very difficult to dig out an extra piece of a solid cake. They thought I would betray some profit in exchange for peace between Dole Bretanna and Ain Sidi. Let them think so, and see who is the last laugh.

The crystal ball on the round table presents the picture of the Lomugne ring venue.

This place is like a spider's nest, the goods and gold circulating on the road weave into a spider web covering the mainland. No corner can escape the eyes of people here. Nilfgaard Merchants Association. In other words, Francesca is preparing to turn it into a Nilfgaard-Novigrad-Korwell business group. Only by allowing the northerners to join the ranks of the cake, she can sit firmly in this powerful behind-the-scenes group.

"But Her Excellency Hillard will be able to find witnesses soon. A thousand crowns can make a northerner take the risk. Anyway, the king slayer will be executed immediately. He only needs to be a witness for one day."

Another man in a black trench coat sat across from Francesca. He was wearing a top hat with a narrow brim, but let the shadow cover his face. This is magic, and Francesca knows it all. She has not yet become a full member, and she is not qualified to know who the people here are.

"Perhaps he can't find an assassin at all. As you said, two thousand crowns can also make a northerner betray his king."

She squinted her eyes slightly, not concealing the smile in her eyes, but she glanced at the crystal ball subconsciously, looking for the familiar figure she had just seen.

The figure disappeared, leaving only an empty seat there.

A few days ago, she learned from Tishaya that it was he who tried to resolve Hillard’s conspiracy and defeated the Kingslayer, forcing the Kingslayer to flee, and letting the ambassador—and the people in front of him—have one less one. A vital card. Tisaya told Francesca of Zelin's follow-up plan, which is why she is confident to decide to go further. The North and the South will become one, and she must obtain a seat belonging to the master in the new order, so that the Ain Xidi clan can truly control her own destiny.

She is confident of the success of Zelin's plan.

Thinking of Zelin, she blinked vigorously. Suppress the sudden sadness.

Oh, you know I'm in Lomugne, why don't you want to see me.

Francesca's heart was empty like that seat.

"The arrest team has set off, Your Majesty." A courtier bent over and bowed to Radovide.

"No, it's not enough!" Ladovide raised his hand. "Order, let the Knights of the Flame Rose set off, and be sure to capture the assassin who tried to assassinate my wife! Ah, thinking that my wife might be under the threat of an assassin hired by the female warlock, if it wasn't for Redania, I would rather personally Catch him. Take my order and let them take the interrogator to act immediately. After catching the assassin, immediately torture him, who is behind the scenes!"

More groups of soldiers appeared on the street. The guards in Tamoria and Kodwin’s camps erected barricades. The sentries put arrows on the bowstrings to prevent these traitors from suddenly becoming attackers. . The people stranded in the city hid one after another, no matter how dull they were, they realized that the situation had changed.

Except for the hunters on the tower.

He was holding his breath, pulling the bowstring, and aiming at the prey that arrived in the open square. The latter was riding a horse, seeming to be thinking about which direction to go, she stopped, a rare opportunity. This is a good bow that can shoot a long distance. He has never used such a good tool, but I am afraid that only such a bow can be worthy of hunting such an expensive target.
