He just doesn't want to think about these things

"Pack up, it's time for you to go. The Dryad will take you a few miles upriver before you fall into the hands of some soldier or bandit, or even Scoia'tael."

Looking at the devil standing up abruptly in the dim environment, the bard couldn't help standing up too:

"Well, you want to stay?"

"No, I won't. I have to find Ciri!"

Hearing this, Dandelion was taken aback for a moment, then said:

"Geralt, listen to me first"

"Listen to what you said?!" The devil's emotion suddenly burst out: "She is alone now, I can't leave her alone, Dandelion. You will never understand, and no one will ever understand, except me."

"If I leave her alone, everything that happened to me will happen to her again, I can't do that!"

"I understand, so I'm going with you."

"You're crazy, do you know where I'm going?"

"I don't know, Geralt. However, I met some of Corviel's acquaintances on the road. They heard some rumors about Ciri, and those rumors also spread to the Scoia'tael and the Nilfgaardians. Medium. So, let me tell you"

Standing there, thinking for a long time, the devil finally sighed softly and said lightly:

"Come on, you can talk to me on the way"

Chapter 529 The First Gathering of the Sorceresses

On the fifth day of August, six weeks after the coup on Shaned Island.

In the Monte Calvo Castle, in a large dark room, it was suddenly extremely bright.

Colorful flashes danced in the air, turning into a ball of light emitting milky white light, shooting towards one of the twelve seats surrounding the sandalwood long table.

Seeing that the ball of light quickly turned into a projection, and the four female sorceresses standing in a row hand in hand, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Philippa, the owner of the castle, her loyal followers Triss and Keira, and Margaret, the current headmaster of Arethusa School of Magic, all looked at the projection:

"Ms. Ashley, welcome to Monte Calvo. We are flattered that you are willing to accept our invitation."

In the projection, a female sorceress who was obviously dressed conservatively, wore a conical hat, and hardly had too many decorations on her body, responded:

"I'm just curious, but I still hope you can explain."

Philippa, standing in the middle, nodded:

"I'll explain shortly. But before that, let me summon the projections of the other attendees, just a moment."

Using the mind projection technique, combined with the torrential magic power of the four sorceresses, they successively shot three projection light spheres onto three of the seats.

In the projection, there are all beautiful beauties, namely Sabina from Kaedwen, Syl Tanshaviye who lives in seclusion in Kovill, and Emhyr, who has been canonized by Emperor Nilfgaard. Francesca for the Queen!

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Monte Calvo. I invite you here to discuss several issues of considerable importance. Unfortunately, this meeting can only be held by projection, because no matter the time, distance or time The bureau does not allow us to talk face to face, I hope you understand."

"As the initiator and host of the meeting, I would like to introduce you. On my right is Margarita Laux-Antille"

After Philippa finished introducing all the other seven people except herself, Sabina, who was still sexy and coquettish like teasing Lu Qi at a banquet, said in an angry voice:

"Now I'm saying goodbye!"

"Philippa? Even if you are an illusion, I don't want to sit at the same table with this damn elf! The blood on the walls and floors of Gastang Palace has not faded yet! It's her and Vigfortz masterpiece!"

You know? The massacre on Thaned Island? A large part of the reason was because of the Scoia'tael who quietly hid in the ground.

And the person who put Scoia'tael on the island? It was the new "Elf Queen" Francesca.

Not only that, but she also had a very big opinion on another sorceress Ashleigh who belonged to the Nilfgaardian camp.

For a moment? Sabina's voice echoed throughout the room.

Francesca and Ashley were not to be outdone, and refuted one after another.

In the end, with the voice of Xier Tanshaweiye? The tit-for-tat confrontation between the sorceresses about Shaned Island, secret agents, and politics? Was temporarily suppressed.

This female sorceress who had voluntarily resigned from her position as a member of the Supreme Council, unwilling to participate in politics, and devoted herself to academic research, was highly respected by female sorceresses and had a very high prestige among the sorceresses.

"I'm here? I'm not here to quarrel, nor to listen to your old scores. I'm not interested in being your mediator. Really? I'm also worried that the purpose of this meeting is unclear and meaningless? It will waste my time studying academics .But I didn't assume too much, and I didn't start out"

"I propose to let Philippa Erhart finish her purpose for calling this meeting? Then? Let's put unnecessary emotions aside? Make a decision. Of course, this is a confidential meeting, who dares to leak it, I, Sheil Tanshawier, will deal with her myself!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sorceresses fell into silence.

Everyone knew that this sorceress who lived in seclusion in Kerville was not joking.

After getting the right to speak, the initiator of the meeting and the owner of the castle finally spoke:

"My dear sisters, our situation is dire and magic is under threat. The unfortunate incident on Thaned Isle makes me sad. Because it just proves one thing, as long as selfishness and ambition are involved, everything seems Peaceful cooperative relations will be destroyed once."

"In order to bring the situation that is gradually out of control under control again, and to prevent disasters from happening again, we must let the strong captain hold the rudder of the stormy ship!"

"Ms. Laux-Antille, Ms. Merigold, Ms. Metz and I discussed this issue and reached an agreement. After the demise of the Warlock Brotherhood, the original mage order was broken, and we must rebuild a management Magic, a new secret organization that protects the rights and interests of magic!"

"This organization will continue to focus on magic itself, and do its best to prevent disasters from happening, so that the world will not fall into chaos and darkness again, drowning in blood and atrocities. We have summoned you here to invite ladies to join Let’s work together for this organization!”

After Philippa finished her speech, the four sorceresses who participated in the meeting through the projection all understood the purpose of this Redanian royal advisor.

The first to raise doubts was the respected Xier Tanshavier:

"Why choose me? I have rejected the candidacy of the Wizarding Council many times, and I have given up my seat on the council. Besides, I don't have time. There are more suitable candidates than me in Keweier, Povis and Hunfors .So, why did you call me here?"

"Because they are all men. And this organization is only for women."

"I know that you have many doubts, doubts and insecurities. These will be resolved at the next meeting. At that time, we will all be present, not in the form of projections or illusions, but in person. Attend or not , has nothing to do with whether to join or not. At that time, after discussion, we will jointly decide whether to establish such an organization."

"There are only eight people here, and there are four empty seats, Philippa, are there any others we haven't come?"

"In my vision, the organization should be composed of twelve female sorceresses. Therefore, at the next meeting, I hope Ashley will recommend a candidate. I believe there is more than one outstanding female sorceress in Nilfgaard. One seat is reserved for you, Francesca, lest you feel alone as the only pure blood elf."

However, Francesca took away two of Philippa's seats on the grounds that she had two candidates.

No one else seems to have a problem with this either.

"Well, today is the fifth day of August, the fifth day of the new moon. We shall meet again the day after the full moon."

"Dear sisters, see you in fourteen days"

Chapter 5 Thirty No.12 Sorceresses, Marriage Plan

"Wait a mininute!"

"In this way, there is still one empty seat left. Who is the No.12 female sorceress?"

Hearing this, Philippa couldn't help showing a mysterious smile:

"This is the first issue to be resolved at the next meeting. After two weeks, I will tell you who will take the No. 12 seat. At that time, we will consider how to get that person to accept it."

"I'm sure you'll be surprised. Because, she's no ordinary person"

"As for whether she will die or survive, whether she will be destroyed or reborn, it all depends on how you look at her."

After leaving such a curious ripple for the four sorceress sisters who participated in the meeting by projecting illusions, this secret meeting that only the sorceresses from the north and south participated in is over.

As the ball of light disappeared into the air, only the four people who had reached an agreement remained in the entire room.

"Philippa, will they come to the next meeting?"

Hearing Triss' worry, Philippa couldn't help but smile confidently, and said calmly:

"Yes, they are not fools like us, let alone fools who want magic to disappear. They all understand that for the rights and status of magic, as well as their own survival, uniting is the best choice."

. . .

Fourteen days passed in a flash.

On this day, in a certain courtyard of the castle, a portal composed of two black marble columns flickered one after another.

In addition to the eight people who came to the secret meeting for the first time, there were three more newcomers.

Fringila Vigo, an elegant sorceress with signature short black hair and green eyes, recommended by the Nilfgaardian sorceress Ashley; another pure-blood elf sorceress recommended by Francesca , Ida Emin from the Blue Mountains.

Among them, what surprised everyone the most was that Yennefer, who disappeared on Thaned Island and was considered by Sabina, Keira and others to be from the Nilfgaardian camp, was also forced by Francesca. , Came to Monte Calvo.

Under a head of slightly curly black hair, with slightly tired blue-purple eyes, Yennefer's every move is eye-catching.

However, only she knew that she had been sealed in a small jade statue by Francesca for a month and a half.

And the other party's first request after dispelling the magic was to recommend him to join this secret organization composed of female sorceresses.

And there was only one reason why she wanted to come to the meeting, and that was that the people in this organization were very interested in Xili!

She wants to hear for herself, what exactly do these people want from her daughter?

Looking at each other and suspicious eyes, everyone came to the room where the first meeting was held, and sat down one by one on the seats with nameplates and Sphinx-shaped armrests, leaving only one seat without a nameplate. seats.

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone first talked about the current war situation.

However, this was quickly interrupted.

"I'm not interested in politics, I just don't want my students who have worked so hard to become mercenaries because of this war, blinded by so-called patriotic slogans. So, what we are talking about here is not the topic of war , but the future of magic." Arethusa's principal, Margarita, said.

Nodding, Sabina echoed:

"The future of magic is determined by the status of wizards, that is, our status and our importance. The choice we face seems very simple: either give up the status and live in seclusion in the ivory tower; or choose to serve."

"Or as a servant to serve the king humbly?" Triss shook her red hair, and continued: "Once the Nilfgaard Empire conquers the northern countries, this will be given to us by the great emperor." status."

"If things get to that point, we don't have a choice."

Scanning everyone present, Philippa said in an emphatic tone: "Because we can only serve magic, not a certain king or emperor, nor their political activities. Dear ladies, we set up this Organization is not to adapt oneself to the current political situation and changes in the world, nor is it to adapt to the wind and survive in the current situation."

"Our organization must take the initiative to influence the direction of the situation while keeping a low profile. In order to achieve this goal, we will do whatever it takes!"

"So, I came up with a plan, an empire that would grow from the current Kevir Kingdom and be ruled by magic, enough to rival Nilfgaard. We only need to let the crown prince of Kevil marry a female sorceress, then Can take the empire into its pocket."

When Philippa finally revealed her plan, the entire room fell into a sudden silence.

"Yes, sisters, you heard me right! Right here, on this empty seat, we will welcome the No.12 female sorceress, and then we will send her to the throne!"

"This is indeed an ambitious plan, and it really didn't waste your precious time." After saying two "true", Xier Tanshavier with a calm face broke the silence with sarcasm:

"It really proves the legitimacy of setting up a secret organization. Only this impossible mission can make all our actions seem to have anything to do with the word noble."

"Why do you say it's impossible?"

"Philippa, although I know that your ambition has never been exposed to the air. However, I never thought that you would be so whimsical."

After a pause, Sabina sighed, and then said:

"No king will marry a sorceress, and no country will allow a sorceress to sit on the throne. The ancient tradition will hinder your plans. It is a stupid tradition, but it is always a tradition."

Margarita on the side added:

"Besides, there are "technical" issues. A sorceress who joins Corville needs to abide by many rules, from our position, as well as from the royal family. And she must understand her identity, use it flexibly and not Arouses suspicion from anyone. No need for guides or manipulators."

"The most important thing is that Crown Prince Corville himself must choose her as his wife, and we cannot put pressure on him publicly."

"So, if the Kingdom of Corvier had the chance to choose freely, who do you think they would choose? Of course, they must come from a royal family with pure blood, dating back several generations. And it must be a young, fertile girl."

"And these prerequisites exclude everyone here, especially the last one, which directly vetoes all sorceresses. That is to say, even if the people of the Kelvir Kingdom go crazy and want their future king to marry a sorceress , and we couldn’t find a suitable candidate.”

"No, you're wrong, we happen to have a very suitable candidate."

After a pause, after attracting everyone's attention, Philippa raised her lips and said:

"She is very young, with the blood of the royal family flowing in her body, and she is also fertile. This girl has outstanding magical talents, and she is also a descendant of the ancient blood, as the prophecy said. Even if no one guides or manipulates her, she She can also play her own role calmly, because that is her destiny."

Having said that, many people have already understood who Philippa's goal is.

"You mean this girl is"

"That's right, she is who you are thinking of, the daughter of Princess Paveta of Cintra, the granddaughter of Calanthe, the lioness of Cintra, Ciriella!"

"She is the son of the ancient blood, both the destroyer and the rebuilder. She is the person mentioned in Islin's prophecy, Cirila of Cintra, the queen of the north, and she will give birth to the queen of the whole world!"

Chapter 531 Xili's life experience, ancient blood

Obviously, Philippa's astonishing speech caused a storm of shock in the hearts of everyone present.

Of course, except for a few sorceresses who already knew Ciri's background.

A sudden silence was quickly replaced by riots.
