"Ha! The mouse is short-sighted! How long can the northern market allow us to dump? Their king will **** every coin from the farmer, how much money does the farmer have to buy our goods? Only he, a food-related person, is willing Let the north only be farmers. Um... I doubt that the elf secretly joined forces with Matthews?"

Keppel didn't speak, it was not his turn to speculate about this kind of thing.

Taking a look at the sky outside the window, Boswell stood up. "It's getting late. Go back and continue lobbying. If there is news from the north, tell me immediately."

"No problem, I will deliver it on time."

At the end of the day's reception, Boswell sent the guests away, turned around and prepared to walk back to the dormitory on the second floor.

Suddenly, he felt a slight tingling pain, subconsciously patted his neck, and the tingling sensation disappeared immediately, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. He looked at the garden in the distance, and the summer mosquitoes were covered with shadowy lawns.

"Um...unlucky." He rubbed his neck. "Benny," he called to the butler. "Tomorrow, find some people to catch bugs in the lawn."

The butler bent over and bowed to him.

In the shadow of the lawn, under the cloak made of grass, a pair of dark eyes stared at Boswell who turned back to the manor. Until Boswell closed the door,

An hour later, a figure covered in mud and smelly walked out of the mud pool outside the sewer, followed the **** up the mountain road next to it, and a carriage hidden behind the rock drove out. The listener grabbed the edge of the carriage, rolled over and jumped up.

"Resolved?"

Till Ered, the elf who broke his arm in the Battle on Ice, held the reins with his remaining hand, glanced slightly at the assassin who began to take off his jacket.

"Resolved?"

"Yeah."

The listener didn't say much.

"Okay." Thiel shook off the reins, and the horses pulling the cart followed the path on the hillside, gradually moving away from the silent manor in the moonlight.

The day after leaving Anglin, the sky became gloomy. The wind kept blowing, screaming like a hurricane, tearing their clothes and pushing and beating the horses that were sitting down. The branches and leaves in the woods rolled and clashed like waves.

The members of the cat school were fine except for some minor injuries. They went to Tousant with Guksat, which borders Anglin. The imperial army has no right to enter Tousant, and the demon hunters are temporarily safe there. During the war, it is estimated that the Nilfgaards did not care about a few demon hunters. Someone from the Viper School is in Towsonte, and when they meet, they can think about how to do it again.

Geralt and the members of the Cat School went to Tousant together. He plans to continue to the west after arriving in Tousant and enter the territory of the Hinterland. At that time, he can take a boat near the city of Hinterland and go north to Sinide. Island. This is much more convenient than crossing the front line again and taking a boat to the Ponta River. After all, no two dragons escorted them this time.

Saqiya flew back to Fjian that night, and the flames of war had not yet burned there, but if the Adenians could not resist, Nilfgaard soldiers would soon appear under Fjian. Forge, who had just played against Hensett, may not be able to withstand the second attack. Saqiya is ready to go back to discuss with Iofis, and send reinforcements to support the battle of Frjan. The three jackdaws thought that his trip had satisfied him. He decided to go back to the desert of Serekania and sleep for a while before visiting Zelin's castle. This journey is very close to the flying Golden Dragon, and it only takes one day to reach it.

Zelin rode up north.

Crossing the Yaluga River, he will be able to reach the border of Baihua Valley.

By the ferry, he found that the ferry had been requisitioned by another group of people.

"Good day, sir. If you want to cross the river, you have to wait one day. Today the ferry is ours."

A man in gray clothes that fits his face crossed his chest and stood in front of Ze Lin.

"I see there are only two of you." Zelin said. "Moreover, they are all standing on the South Bank. I am going to the North Bank. There is no conflict with you."

"No, no, there is no ship going to the other side now, only from the north to the south." The businessman put his hands together. "And it's not just the two of us. My people are everywhere on this ferry, and there are more on the other side."

A one-eyed strong man stood shirtless behind the businessman, covered in scars, coughed heavily, and spit on the ground.

Zelin saw some mercenaries guarding a group of people who had just got off the ferry with the handle of a spear. A group of ragged, hungry farmers, their hands tied behind their backs, ropes link them together. There are about thirty people. On the side of the dock, several soldiers were busy pushing a cage from the deck onto the wooden board beside the ship's gunwale. There were several wheels under the wooden board to transport the cage to a nearby carriage. There were five women in the cage, with their hands tied, their eyes closed and motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or unconscious. One of the guards walked over and threw a few pieces of torn brown bread along the gap in the cage.

"Your goods are really special."

Zelin immediately understood the identity of the man in front of him.

Slave trader.

These merchants, who have always been behind the Nilfgaard Army, are most passionate about capturing slaves on conquered lands and selling them to the mines, logging yards, and forges of the empire. Or sold to arenas and brothels. The slave business of the empire has always maintained a strong demand. Many corpses are transported out of the arena every day. The army is also an important customer of slave traders. There is a lack of cheap tools everywhere, and the bankrupt citizens and farmers in the empire are obviously unable to meet the needs of slaves.

"No, then you really don’t know how to watch the goods. This time it’s really unlucky. I thought that our soldiers could quickly destroy Aden, and then I could catch some strong serfs, or enter them with the army. In the capital, catch some beautiful girls. These two are the most profitable slaves. If you can sell prisoners who can fight in the army, the arena will pay me a lot of money. As a result... the North is really a wicked place. There are terrible witchcraft everywhere. Have you heard the news the other day?"

"What news?"

"The Bart Melo division under Hobbes Corps commander took the wrong map. They were supposed to be attacking the north, but they went to the Baihua Valley to the east. A magical explosion completely destroyed a forest outside Baihua Valley, and The four thousand imperial soldiers in the forest were all turned into corpses. As a result, Hobbs could only fully shrink the front. He had already sent people to negotiate with Baihua Valley, but I don’t see any results. The forest is in Baihua Valley. Outside the border, there are no residents at all. You look at the **** ghostly weather. Since the magic explosion the day before yesterday, it has been rainy and rainy. I can't wait to go back to the south, in case Hobbes fails to stop the barbarians from counterattacking. , My fortune is ruined!"

Magic explosion.

Zelin immediately thought of someone.

Ada Emin.

The ability to use magic to destroy a forest directly can only be done by this sage living in the Blue Mountains. The slave trader was still complaining, that this adventure didn't make him much money.

"The barbarians in the north don't know what it means to respect private property. I remember the last war, their army killed many merchants and released slaves. This is private property protected by law!"

"It's Nilfgaard's law."

"It's like barbarians have laws." The slave trader sneered. "I have to wait for the empire to bring civilization to this wild land before I come to the north to do business. Unfortunately, it is estimated that on the way back, these slaves will have to die. I don’t know if the mercenaries are finally paid for. How much profit is left."

"So why don't you choose to stop loss?" Zelin asked rhetorically. He hid his right hand behind him, forming a gesture of Yaxifahin, and his eyes flashed with golden light. "I am willing to pay a sum of money to buy all of your slaves. In this way, you don't have to drive them to the South."

Chapter 1952: Ada's Problem

These people are all northerners.

They were farmers in Aden. When the lord’s army withdrew to the castle’s defenses, the mercenaries of the slave traders broke into their village, killed a few who resisted, and grabbed the rest and stuffed them into their prison carts. They are not the only group. Many people fled to the north after the Nilfgaards attacked, but Nilfgad attacked suddenly. Many people didn't know the war was going on at first, and the slave traders rode horses and chased many people on the highway. Some people hid in the forest, life and death unknown.

"I can't send you back to your original place, but I can take you temporarily to hide in the forest of Hundred Flowers Valley. The Nilfgaards did not attack there. I can talk to the elves there and give you a temporary shelter. After the war is over, you will return to your hometown."

According to the refugees, their home was in Esteberg, and the Nilfgaard regiment broke through Gureta's line of defense, but stopped at the Dafenni between Van Geborg and Forge. Because the right wing and the Chinese army were blocked in Nan Yadian, the left wing of the assault lost its side cover, and their advance was forced to stop when they were only half a day away from the Ponta River. Recently, as thousands of people in the Hobbes Army died in the forest outside the Hundred Flowers Valley, he was temporarily unable to continue advancing towards Van Geborg. It is estimated that the Eisdelberg occupying forces that became a protrusion will soon shrink and retreat to South Asia. In order to prevent being surrounded by coalition forces from Forge and Van Geborg.

On the western battlefield, the emperor’s army occupied almost the entire territory of Verden, and its troops were on the Hidalis Peninsula. Once you have crossed Hidaris, you can reach Velen, the territory of Temoria. On the other side, on the other side, on the battlefield of Tamoria, the Imperial Army conquered Sutton and Brenner, but was frustrated in Maribo. Natalis blocked the three assaults initiated by the Imperial Central Army Marshal Havat Mohan in Maribo. On the other side, the Nilfgaard army arrived under Vizima and was preparing for the siege. Sutton, Brenner, and Brugge were captured, but Tamoria saved Maribo, Ailand, and Vizima. Only in November, before the first heavy snowfall, no one knew how the situation would still change.

On the way, Zelin saw several burned villages. Several scavengers were looking for food among the ruins, and the crows hovered in mid-air, waiting for a chance to rush down to share a piece of the pie. In the distance, the valley was covered by darkness. The original lush valley, but now there are only dead trees, like a dying person who stretched out his hand to the sky with the last bit of strength. As soon as he stepped into the woodland, the demon hunter badge began to hum, and it didn't take long for this magical explosion to still have strong chaotic magic power. The entire ground seemed to be completely turned over, and there were still some exposed limbs on the soft soil. This may have happened in an instant. All the corpses were distributed near the forest road. The Nilfgaards were still marching towards Baihua Valley, and destruction appeared on their heads.

Last year, Sabina used Melga's fire to instantly destroy Aden and Kodwin's troops on the battlefield. And Sabina's power is not worth mentioning in front of Ada Emin.

"There is no danger here. You don't need to look around. Keep walking. You will soon be in a safe place."

Zelin said to the refugees around him.

"But don't distract, what remains here may attract some monsters."

"Don't worry, there are no monsters here. No monsters dare to approach here."
