"Your beer belly will never get rid of, father."

Suddenly, Zelin heard a familiar voice from the tavern. He looked in through the window, and Saqiya was sitting at a big table, dreadfully.

"I have been fighting with beer belly, but I also want to maintain this balance. I can't have too much fat in my belly, but I can't live without it, so today is the time to increase fat."

"Saqiya's father? No, wait, Saqiya is... so you..."

"Yes, Zelin, let me introduce myself again now." Bullock stood up straight, coughed twice and cleared his throat. "I'm Vilantretanmes, you can also call me three Jackdaw Bullocks. I've been to your castle several times, but unfortunately, you happened to not be there. But since you've already come, why bother to stand? Outside? Come in, I can already smell the aroma of roast lamb, oh, and my favorite spices."

With that, Bullock pushed the two into the tavern. The helpers in the tavern were busy putting the tables together, and it seemed that Bullock had just wrapped up the entire tavern just after the summit.

Golden dragon.

Legendary creature.

In this land these days, real dragons are very rare, let alone see a legendary golden dragon with your own eyes, and change into a human form to sit next to you.

In small talk, I learned that Bullock went to Mahakam after leaving the floating port. However, when he was about to go to Fojian, the war was over, so he rushed to Lomugne directly with his guards.

"I often thought about going to your castle some time ago. Your castle is very interesting. Although I want to know about it, I think it would be rude to force into the owner's house if the owner is not there." Bullock shook his hand. Soup spoon, watching the tavern owner and helpers bring up one after another pots of fish and greens. Several of his female guards have already started to eat the salt-baked shrimp. Geralt is chatting with one of them, Via, who invited them to come. On the other side, Sakia chats with Eofis, and the former talks about confrontation. Jian's future plans and the news of Nilfgard's invasion, the latter is giving Saqiya some advice, but his mind is obviously not only on this.

"No problem, Brock, if you want to go to my castle, I can invite you to go now." Zelin tore a small piece of meat from the roasted whole lamb. "To be honest, I'm very curious about everything about the dragon clan, but I don't know what's worth noting in my castle."

"One dragon." Bullock raised his eyebrows. "You are curious about everything about dragons, just like I am curious about everything about humans. But I want to know why a person gives me the feeling of a dragon."

Zelin immediately knew who Bullock was referring to.

"Saqiya is still too young. I don’t know anything about this. Don’t mind. I’m just a little curious. Can she become a dragon? Is she also a person who a dragon becomes? I am also very concerned about dragons from different places. Interested, just like you do with the dragons, curiosity will always be the driving force for us to move forward."

"Of course there is no problem. But what you want to ask Ganya depends on whether she is willing to answer you."

"I understand that we are all polite gentlemen, but don’t worry, I will only ask more curious questions. As for other unnecessary things, I will never ask more. Everyone has their own secrets, which I call Privacy. Respecting each other's privacy is the most important thing to be friends." Brock took a sip of the soup, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth. "Relatively speaking..."

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the pub.

Zelin and Bullock turned their heads at the same time, and Guksat strode in. He glanced around and found Zelin immediately.

"Zelin, I have encountered a very important issue. I want to talk to you."

"What's the matter?" Zelin frowned and put down his knife and fork. "What happened? Don't worry, tell me what's going on."

"We are under attack." Guksat said. "Cat Academy is under attack by the Empire!"

The first thousand nine hundred and forty-five chapters of bad news

The Cat School Demon Hunter Academy was attacked by Imperial soldiers.

This is news from Aiden.

When Zelin saw Aiden, there was a bandage on his forearm and gauze on his forehead. He kept panting, just like the horse beside him. He ran as fast as possible for several days before rushing over from the college to report.

"They surrounded us with almost two hundred soldiers. We lifted the suspension bridge and closed the gate. The gully outside the city was so deep that they couldn't get in for a while. I detoured through the secret road behind the castle. But. The soldiers found me, and Yaksou blocked the secret passage to prevent soldiers from entering, but they couldn't get out. We must go back and save them quickly!"

"Imperial Army... Damn it! Did they decide to kill all non-humans?"

"It seems we have to temporarily change our plan." Zelin said. "Find a few horses and go directly south, through Aden and Livia, to Anglin."

"There is a battlefield, Demon Hunter." Eofes reminded. "Thousands of imperial army and Adenian soldiers are fighting on the hills between Mahakam and Blue Mountains. Do you want to plunge in and then run out from the other side? This is simply unrealistic, in order to bypass the battlefield. You will waste more time."

"This road is the closest." Geralt stroked his chin. Hearing that the cat academy was in danger, he decided to go to Anglin first, and then go to Sinide Island to find Ye Naifah. "The war is still going on, and the front is not stabilized. It may not be so troublesome to find a gap to pass through. Moreover, we can walk through the Valley of Hundred Flowers, past Dole Bretanna. Didn’t Aiden pass through the Valley of Hundred Flowers? ? We can also go back the same way."

"I suggest you go to Mahakam." Iofes joined hands and staggered across his chest. "First take a boat to the floating port, then enter Mahakam, and follow the underground tunnels dug by the dwarves in the mountains, you can directly reach the banks of the Yaluja River. Cross the river, and you will be Anglin. The Imperial Army will not be in its own territory. Burning, killing, looting, this route is very safe."

"Ayden, what was the condition of the castle when you left the castle?"

After receiving the care of the healers in the Order of Warlocks, Aiden's injuries are no longer serious, and he only needs to wait for the wounds to heal. He went out from the back hill of the castle, defeated an imperial patrol, and then encountered a group of deserters after crossing the Yaluja River. He killed some of them, and he happened to encounter the Elf Patrol in Hundred Flower Valley. After the elves got rid of the deserters who had run in, a gangster doctor helped him bandage the wound and gave him a horse.

"The imperial army has a siege hammer. We used Dragon Dream and Foehn to destroy it while the south wind was blowing. The imperial people are making a second one, cutting down trees in the forest outside the castle. I don't know they have it. How many engineers, maybe they have already built it, but we don’t have enough bombs in our castle, and they have been used up to resist their siege.” Aiden’s voice was eager, and the healer of the Warlock Order asked him to be in bed. Lie down all night to heal the wound, but he can't lie down at all. "Yaksold, Sidrek, Hirodinger, and Joel are still in the castle. Gaitan went to Tousent and asked the Viper School for help. I don't know if he found Ivar."

"It's too late to find Ivar. This old viper won't leave his lair easily. Maybe he's also in trouble there, and the Imperial Army won't just act on one place." Guksat pursed his mouth. "No matter how dangerous Aden is, I will rush back as soon as possible. Zelin, you can take the mountain road of Mahakam and meet me at Anglin."

"No, Guksaat. If you want to go, let's go together. Now there are four of us demon hunters. Walking together can also reduce the trouble on the road."

"Wait a minute, everyone, wait a minute." Suddenly, a voice came from the other side. Brock, wearing a riding attire, walked over with two female fighters on the left and right. The collar is open, revealing chest hair. "I just heard you talk about some kind of emergency rescue, arguing whether to ride a horse or take a boat? I must say, you have never said the most important point. Everyone, there is no one in this world except for the unstable teleportation magic. Can be compared to flying."

"Unstable teleportation? You actually said teleportation is unstable? Teleportation is a stable magic. The probability of error is only 3%. Of this 3% error rate, it is less than 10%. The possibility of death will be fatal. Only those who have no knowledge and an inexplicable fear of magic will think that teleportation will divide people into two like a knife."

In the palace garden of Baihua Valley, Francesca sketched a list. The watering pot lifted by magic floats on the flowerbed, bringing a bit of coolness to the gorgeous flowers in the flowerbed in the hot summer. Gnaiya was lying on the recliner beside her, with her hands resting behind her head, and the wall-climber at the top of the corridor cast shadows on her. Hearing Francesca's words, she sat up all of a sudden.

"But after passing through your teleportation channel, I lost a part of my money. It took me a lot of hard work in that **** gloomy dungeon to get it back! I went to Mahakam last month to find out, from zero. How much money does it cost to start building a manor? I have to save for a long time, but you actually disappeared them!"

"Look at your pretentious look." Francesca rolled her eyes. After returning, she happily bestowed rewards on many people, and gave many things in the palace to the officials and deputies around her. "You can walk around in my palace, except for the documents-those that are of no value to you-take whatever you see. I don't care. I will have the entire north soon, and you still care about a few coins. Right?"

"It's you, not me. What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine. I won't want things that are not mine, but you don't want to take away my things."

"Your opinions really make me sad. I will pay you back. I only need to wait for a year, a year, and there will be countless considerable returns. Besides, I didn't take your money again."

Gnaiya's face was stern. "But you spent a lot of his money, you didn't even tell him. Hmph, when he comes back, don't think I will speak for you."

Francis paused before continuing to write.

"His money has been kept in the underground vault. I only used it temporarily. It will be returned to the same amount soon. He won't even find the money in the vault has been changed again."

"Your speaking style is like a liar who is about to succeed. You asked me to help, because it was good for Zelin. What are you thinking? You asked me to help you in Lomugne's laboratory. Get something to help you kill the assassin who assassinated you. Guard Hundred Flowers Valley when you are negotiating to prevent anyone from sneaking into it. What are you doing? You never told me what the benefits are."

"The advantage is here, wait a minute, um... okay." Francesca held her forehead, took a closer look at the list, and pulled a piece of paper from the pile of documents. "Give this list to Kenna, and she will be waiting in the palace."

"What's this?" Gnaiya took the list and glanced at it. Some locations are written on it. In the northern areas of Mahakam, Skellige and Kodwin, there are also the Valley of Flowers and the distribution of many elven settlements. "Isn't Zelin's castle in Mahakam? Is this a map?"

"That's right." Francesca's voice carried this unconcealable smile. After disappearing for a while and coming back, Gneia found that she seemed to wake up when she slept. "Now, the north is mine. I don't care where the imperial soldiers plan to rob and capture slaves. But I want their chief to know where they can't go. Otherwise, they will just wait to retire and go home!"

A gust of wind blew through Baihua Valley.

Francesca hurriedly reached out and held down the document on the table, but one document was blown off, floated a few times in the air, and fell into the pond.

She bent down and picked up the documents floating on the water.

"Gnaiya, give it to Kenna for me and let her copy it again."

"What was that just now?" Gnaiya took it, but did not leave. But looking at the sky. "What do I seem to see?"

"You must be dazzled. After I have dealt with this matter, we will go to Mahakam. It's time to take a break."

"Why not now?"

"Because I still have some things to deal with." Francesca's eyes turned to the garden entrance on the right. An elf maid walked in, followed by three humans with sad faces behind her. The family crest on their bodies indicated that they were the nobles of Aden.

They walked in and bowed in front of Francesca.
