Big single player

It is worth mentioning that Di Pang is also Philippa's lover!

The lovers in the past are now facing each other with swords drawn, which made Lu Qi sigh "everything is impermanent"

However, this news is good news for him.

Because Dijkstra was abandoned by Redania, he had the opportunity to bring this intelligence talent under his command!

He has served in the best special forces in the world of Call of Duty, and has also established his own huge force in the biochemical world. Lu Qi, who is rich in experience, of course knows very well that a powerful force must have its own independent force. Intelligence capability!

Intelligence agencies, like the eyes and ears of forces, are indispensable.

It's a pity that intelligence talents are not like mercenaries with strong limbs and simple minds, which are everywhere.

And in the entire wizarding world, it is recognized that the expert who plays with information in the palm of his hand is the former Redanian intelligence leader, the fat man whose knee was twisted by Geralt on the Isle of Cinderella. — Dijkstra!

It just so happened that Lu Qi knew where Fatty Di was.

The reason is simple, because he has played the game "The Witcher [-]: Wild Hunt"!

. . .

Novigrad, the largest city in the north.

Located in Redania, at the mouth of the Ponta River, it is also the most important port in the north and even the entire continent, and is called the capital of the world by the northerners.

The astonishing wealth, influence, and strategic importance gathered in the city made this city a power that even the kings and emperors in the north had to respect.

After centuries, countless compromises and disputes, this city full of wealth and vitality has become the only free city in the North.

However, this city is not really free, and the forces are intricate.

The northern countries are very clear that whoever can control the city of freedom and its sufficient warehouses, a large number of craftsmen and workshops, and a huge fleet is tantamount to holding the key to the northern countries.

In addition to the Eternal Flame Sect, which firmly controls the freedom of belief and destiny of the people in the city, underground forces, city councilors, and foreign spies are all performing their own life movements on this gorgeous stage.

Freedom is also slowly evolving towards anarchic chaos.

However, for some guys who have gotten into trouble and have nowhere to go, this is a very suitable place to go.

Of course, as long as you keep your distance from the dark back alley that is like a black hole, everything will be fine

Strolling on the bustling streets of Novigrad, Lu Qi hid his figure under a black hooded cloak, avoiding members of the Eternal Flame Sect in red uniforms, and soon came to a house with engraved words on the gate and walls In front of the bathhouse with exquisite reliefs.

"Well, it should be here"

Lu Qi, who played "The Witcher [-]: Wild Hunt", happened to remember that Di Fat was aliased as "Siji Luwen" and opened a bathhouse in Novigrad.

That's why he came to this city of freedom alone

Seeing Lu Qi, a unique character, a bald man standing at the door to greet the guests, immediately showed a formulaic smile and greeted him:

"Welcome to the most haunting bathhouse in Novigrad!"

"Thank you, but now is not the time to take a bath." After a pause, Lu Qi pulled off his hood casually, and when he revealed his face, he said in a deep voice:

"I want to meet your boss, Siggy Lewin."

Hearing this, the bald man frowned, and replied casually: "Sorry, the boss is very busy."

"Tell him that Alex in Cinderella is looking for him."

"I can't guarantee that Mr. Luwen will meet you."

"Trust me, he'll see me."

Meeting Lu Qi's eyes full of confidence and indifference, the bald man thought for a while and bowed slightly, "Okay, I'll try, please wait a moment."

After waiting at the door for a while, the bald man left and returned.This time, he finally showed a relatively sincere smile:

"Siji Luwen sincerely invites you, I am Harbin."

"Lead the way."

After taking off his clothes in the dressing room, and only tied a bath towel around his lower body, Lu Qi went straight to one of the private bathhouses guarded by several big men.

And a burly figure was sitting by the bath, quietly waiting for his arrival.

"Black Hawk of Temeria, we meet again. Ever since you watched me get beaten up by a witcher and break my ankle, I never thought we'd see each other in this situation"

"How do you do, Siggy Lewin or Dijkstra?"

Chapter 593 Valuable Intelligence Talent

Seeing Lu Qi walk into the bathing pool unceremoniously, and sitting opposite to him, Di Fatty, who has a thick back, couldn't help blinking his eyes, and responded casually:

"Let's call it Lu Wen. You should also know my current situation, so you came to find me specially, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, shrugged, and did not speak.

After looking around, Lu Qi picked up the hot water and poured it on his body. Feeling the comfort brought by the hot water, he did not forget to ask:

"The decoration is not new, and it doesn't look like it was newly opened recently. However, what makes me curious is why it is a bathhouse. If you are doing intelligence, isn't a brothel more suitable?"

Looking at Lu Qi's appearance of talking with his friends, Fatty Di didn't dare to regard his calmness as defenseless.

Judging from the information he collected, the black-haired man with a strong build in front of him is a powerful existence who is also the champion of the Toussaint Tournament and the strongest swordsman in Temeria.

More importantly, the other party is not his friend, at best he can only be called an acquaintance.

"My ankle was broken by your witcher friend, remember?"

"It's not healing so well it's unbelievable, I'm now in hot baths at least six times a day, otherwise the blood vessels around the wound would be pounding like the bells of dawn in Beauclair."

"So I was thinking, why not open a bathhouse so that I can take a hot bath anytime and anywhere"

"Also, in the bathhouse where you can't carry weapons and you're naked, everyone will put down their guard, just like lying on a woman, there is not much difference."

"What's more, the brothel industry in Novigrad is already operated by someone."

Before coming here, Lu Qi knew about Novigrad's influence, and he also understood that Di Pang, as a new bathhouse owner, did not dare to rush to compete with other underground forces for territory.

With a "poof", Dijkstra sank his whole body into the hot water. Dijkstra picked up a handful of hot water, rubbed his face hard, and then continued:

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. Since the last time we met, your name has often appeared in my intelligence reports."

"Really, I'm really flattered to get Your Excellency's attention"

Although he said so, there was no surprised expression on Lu Qi's face.

"Back then, when I was on the island, I thought you were just Metz's little follower, but I didn't expect that now you have become a big shot."

After a pause, Di Pang's expression became serious, and he cut to the chase and said:

"Tell me, honorable governor, you came alone to find a traitor who was abandoned by your own country. What's the matter?"

"Of course I'm not here to ask you how it feels to change from a great spy to a great traitor. I want one thing, and only you have that kind of thing."

"Oh, what's that?"

"Your intelligence capabilities!"

As soon as the words came out, Di Fatty's eyes flashed brightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Is this your purpose? Let me bow down and become your eyes and ears?"

"It's not enough to bow down and become a minister. I'm not a king or emperor, and I don't need any courtiers. I prefer to use the word "partner" to describe our relationship."

"I'm a Redania traitor who committed treason, and I'm wanted all over the country. Are you afraid that Redania will come to your door and ask you to hand me over?"

"You have changed your name and surname. If the other party can still find you, you are not worthy of my coming." After a pause, Lu Qi looked at Fatty Di with interest: "Besides, why don't you Don't you want to regain your reputation and status in Redania?"

Hearing this, Fatty Di raised his chin abruptly, raised his head, and said in a loud voice:

"If you want to recruit me, and then carry out spying operations against Redania, then don't waste your efforts! Even if Redania abandons me, it is still my motherland, and it is my joint efforts with Vesemir. I will not sell this great country that took 20 years to build!"

Dijkstra made a dignified speech, but got a somewhat helpless answer from Lu Qi:

"Where did you go, I came here to invite you to join, not as Earl of Temeria or Governor of Sodden, but as a person."

"And I'm not interested in Redania's power struggle at all. I just think that you have enough ability and value, so I can personally recruit you."

"Of course, if you want to make that ambitious sorceress pay the price, or return to Tretogg's court, I will help you."

Fatty Di frowned at the pointed words, "What do you mean? What do you know?"

"The reason why you became like this is definitely not the idea of ​​the puppet queen in Redania?" After a pause, Lu Qi looked at Di Fatty's subtle expression and smiled slightly:

"Let me guess that your lover thinks that you have too much information and secrets that you shouldn't know, so she plans to settle you so that you will never be able to speak. In that case, she can become Redania The real ruler behind the scenes, isn't he?"

"Where did you know this?"

Shrugging, Lu Qi wiped his face with a towel and said casually:

"This is nothing more than a logical reasoning. Anyone with a little brain can do it. But it is not that simple to sift out useful information from useless rumors and gossip. You should have a deep understanding."

"This is why I came to you. I need an outstanding talent to help me build an intelligence network and handle these things."

"So, what's your answer?"

After staring at Lu Qi's black eyes for a while, Fatty Di spread his hands and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"Do I have a better choice? Instead of staying here and being a bathhouse owner who doesn't know when he will be hanged, I might as well go to Temeria, which is warmer, for a vacation, and return to my old profession by the way."

Hearing this answer, the corner of Lu Qi's mouth curled up, then he stood up, walked towards Di Fatty naked, and stretched out his right hand:

"Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

Send 888 cash red envelopes, follow the vx public account to see popular masterpieces, and draw 888 cash red envelopes!

"Happy cooperation!"

In this way, two naked men reached a cooperation agreement in the bathhouse

As soon as he let go of his hand, Fatty Di suddenly said:

"By the way, how long has it been since you saw Ms. Metz?"

"Kayla? She's been living in my castle lately, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Dijkstra rolled his eyes and said suddenly, "I don't think she told you, did she?"

"say what?"

"Philippa Earhart secretly formed a secret society, the members of which are all made up of sorceresses, and the name is "Sorceress Assembly". I also learned this news by accident from their letters. "

Touching his smooth chin, Lu Qi muttered thoughtfully: "Is a secret society composed entirely of sorceresses interesting?"

"As far as I know, the names of the female sorceresses in the north are all on the member list, Triss Merigold, Kayla Metz, and Sabina. In addition, there are several people from the Southern Empire who are in the association. In, Francesca, Ashleigh, Fringella Vigo"

"Wait! You mean Fringilla Vigo?!"

Chapter 594 Financial Crisis

During the short trip to Novigrad, Lu Qi not only found an intelligence officer for his own forces, but also got an interesting piece of news - the existence of the sorceress assembly hall!

According to Di Pang, in the Sintra negotiations that divided up the interests of the mainland, the sorceresses gathered behind the scenes and manipulated the transaction, so that the northern countries and the southern empire finally signed a peace treaty.

It is worth mentioning that King Henselt of Kaedwen was unwilling to return the upper Aedirn region he had acquired to King Demawi of Aedirn.However, Henselt's court advisor, Sabina, a member of the sorceress assembly, did not know what to say to Henselt, but still promised some conditions.

The next day, Henselt, with a dark face, promised to return the Upper Aden area.

God knows how many times this kind of thing happened within five days of negotiations

Just from the private transactions of these national interests, it is enough for Lu Qi to draw a simple conclusion:

The sorceress assembly is trying to hide in the dark and manipulate the situation in various countries according to its own ideas, so as to achieve its own goals!

As for the purpose of that, Lu Qi couldn't think of any other answer besides "controlling power".

Ever since the coup on Shaned Island, Lu Qi felt that these sorceresses were too enthusiastic about politics.This is especially true of Philippa Earhart, an ambitious sorceress.

First help the Queen of Redania to stabilize the political situation, and then help the North win the war, and then get rid of the only opponent Dijkstra, thus becoming the de facto ruler of Redania

This series of operations also showed that she was absolutely unwilling to be just a little consultant to wipe the king's ass.

And Fringilla Vigo happened to appear in Toussaint, and even fascinated Geralt, obviously it was an arrangement of the sorceress' assembly house!

I just don't know what this arrangement is for.

Perhaps even Kayla's sudden visit to Brenner was likely to monitor him, Temeria's rising nobleman.

Maybe Kayla didn't mean that.However, Lu Qi knew that she had always obeyed Philippa Earhart.

From all indications, the sorceress' coven will be a trouble worthy of continued attention
