However, after tasting the strength of the "Fire Wine" with their own mouths, they realized that they were wrong!

And, it's so fucking wrong!

The princes and ministers of Temeria have never drank this kind of strong wine that is mellow in the mouth, followed by fever all over the body, and finally warm in the stomach.

The first wine tasting of "Wine of Fire" was well received!

Soon, a large number of orders from the king and nobles flew over in a swarm as if they had grown wings.

Not only that, through the private propaganda of the nobles, the common people also knew that Earl Amelia had recently developed a spirit that made the whole body feel hot.

Moreover, kings and nobles are very fond of it!

Lu Qi, who has integrated into the world of wizards, knows very well that in this medieval world ruled by nobles, nobles have great influence, and every move will affect the nerves of commoners.

What the nobles dislike, the commoners will dislike; what the nobles admire, the commoners will also pursue.

This is the so-called "upper and lower effect"...

As the entire Kingdom of Temeria, whether it is the king, the nobles, or the civilian mercenaries, began to discuss the "wine of fire", Lu Qi knew that the time was ripe...

What happened next was just as Lu Qi had predicted in advance:

After going through word-of-mouth publicity, the first batch of [-] bottles of "Wine of Fire" was sold out as soon as it was released on the market!

In the case of short supply, Lu Qi did not take the opportunity to distribute a large number of goods to the market, but chose to take a break.

From the very beginning, Lu Qi's positioning of the "Wine of Fire" was to be a top quality wine of the same level as the East of Bauclin and Mahakam spirits.

The customer group he aimed at was not the lower classes such as civilians, craftsmen, and mercenaries with little money in their pockets, but the upper class who spent money like aristocrats and big businessmen.

Therefore, in line with the truth of "rare things are more expensive", he chooses to carry out limited supply every once in a while, which not only stimulates the appetite of customers, but also makes the name of this brand famous!

For this reason, Lu Qi's price for "Wine of Fire" is higher than that of Dongzhidong wine, reaching [-] crowns a bottle!

When customers who have tasted "Fire Wine" start to miss the fire-like taste; when customers who have never tasted "Fire Wine" become very curious about it; When the black market reached an astonishingly high price, Lu Qi grandly launched the second batch of "Wine of Fire"!

The quantity is still [-] bottles.

In just one month, "Fire Wine" became a household name in Temeria with its uniqueness, and even merchants from the northern countries began to send people to Amelia to discuss export matters.

After several wineries completed their domestic orders, the financial crisis faced by the territory had already been resolved.

And boxes of golden gold coins were also moved into the empty vault by the servants...

. . .

Amelia Castle, Lord's Hall.

Still sitting on the seat engraved with the black eagle relief, still listening to the report from the treasurer in front of him.

However, compared to a month ago, this time, the expression on Lu Qi's face was much more relaxed and freehand.

"Your Excellency, the winery's guards are on three shifts, making sure no one approaches them 24 hours a day."

"Very well, monitor every move of all the technicians in the distillation room, and throw them into the dungeon immediately if they have any intention or sign of contact with outsiders."

"In the past month, the sales of Flaming Wine brought us about [-] kroner in revenue. After excluding costs, labor costs, military pay, construction funds, intelligence funds, the surplus and... .”

"Fortresses and villages in the areas of Sodden, Anglin, and Rivendell Valley, the speed of repair is as expected, and the plan is to..."

"By the way, King Thyssen of Keville also placed a big order with us. You said that if there is any magic gold in the market, you will buy it all regardless of the price." After a pause, the treasurer said immediately : "I think we can barter with them, and exchange good wine for magic gold."

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help raising his brows, and looked at his subordinates appreciatively: "It's a good idea. In the future, we only need the magic gold for Keweier's orders."

"Okay, I remember."

"It's been hard work for you during this time."

"It is my honor to be able to solve your worries and problems. If you need anything, please call me at any time..."

As the chief financial officer bowed and turned to leave the hall, Lu Qicai stood up, walked to the window, looked down at the Black Eagle Knights who were training below, and fell into deep thought.

Now the brewing business is on the right track, the territory's finances are healthy, and the post-war reconstruction work is in order. Soldiers from the Black Eagle Knights and the Southern Corps are also practicing in an orderly manner.

Everything seems to be going well.

However, people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries.

Even though he knew that he had to make adequate preparations before a powerful enemy came.However, there is a sense of powerlessness in my heart from time to time.

Perhaps it was because at this moment, Ciri, the object he wanted to protect, was being chased by the Wild Hunt in an unknown world.

And he can't do anything about it...

Thinking of this, Lu Qi suddenly thought of a white-haired demon hunter who shared the bond of fate with Xili.

That guy, he should be fascinated by the sorceress by now, and forget about his daughter...

Just as he was thinking so, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Alex, look who is here?!"

Chapter 597 Asking for help from the white wolf

The moment he turned around, Lu Qi saw Regis and a white-haired man standing beside him.

Not the legendary demon "White Wolf", who else? !

"Geralt?! Why are you here suddenly?"

"I need your help with something."

From the vicissitudes of the devil's eyebrows, Lu Qi saw some seriousness and urgency, and couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

"I found Yennefer!"

Next, after the devil's explanation, Lu Qi learned why he was here:

A week ago, Geralt, who was in Toussaint, went to accept the commission as always, preparing to go to an underground wine cellar to deal with monsters.

However, just as he finished the monster, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Steven Skellen and the rebels of the Nilfgaardian Empire in a room above through the underground copper pipe.

From the conversation, he learned that his lover Yennefer had been captured by Vigfortz, and that Vigfortez's hiding place was in a castle named "Stiga"!

Since Milva was pregnant and needed someone to take care of and accompany him, and Dandelion was unwilling to follow him on any adventures, Geralt had to bid farewell to them and set out on the road alone.

However, he did not set off recklessly and headed straight to Styggar.

Geralt had already experienced the power of Vigfortez on Sunderney Island, and he knew that he could not rescue Yennefer from the opponent alone.

After thinking twice, he chose to come to Amelia as soon as possible, and asked Lu Qi, the governor of the kingdom with a large army, for help.

"That's the way it is..."

"Wigfortz...don't tell me, I almost forgot about this guy..." Lu Qi suddenly remembered something, and then asked:

"By the way, that distant relative of the Duchess, the beautiful Ms. Vigo, didn't she keep you?"

Hearing this, Geralt frowned, "What do you mean?"

After telling Geralt about the existence of the sorceress assembly hall, Lu Qi shrugged, and then said: "Her purpose should be to spy on you, and then get news about Ciri from you..."

Before the words finished, Geralt took over and added, "Maybe it's news from Vigfortz."

"Oh?"

"Before I left, she asked me where Vigfortez was hiding, as if she was pretty sure I knew."

"Then you said that?"

"No, I said another fake hiding place." After a pause, Geralt blinked his orange cat eyes and analyzed rationally: "Those women still think that Yennefer and Vigo Fortes is in the gang. Who knows what they'll do if they see her..."

"It seems that you haven't been completely dazzled by love...Come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qi turned around and walked towards the side door of the hall.

Seeing this, the demon and the vampire looked at each other, and then stepped forward to follow.

Coming to the study room on the side of the hall, Lu Qi took out a map of the mainland, spread it on the table, raised an eyebrow at the devil, and asked:

"Stegar, where are you?"

Geralt immediately stepped forward, reached out his hand to the Ebin province of the Nilfgaard Empire, and nodded: "Somewhere in the Ebin region, as for the exact location, I'm not sure."

"That is the hinterland of the empire. If we want to save people, we must not only cross the Yaruga River, but also avoid the patrolling Nilfgaardian army along the way. This is too time-consuming and unnecessary." , Lu Qi frowned slightly, and said lightly.

"Then what is your opinion?"

"We can directly open the portal, go to the Ebin area, and then go to the castle where Yennefer is imprisoned."

After a pause, Lu Qi looked up at Geralt and joked:

"I know you hate portals, but this is the best way to get your lover out of the clutches as soon as possible."

"I didn't say no." The devil said expressionlessly.

"However, there is one more problem."

"what?"

"With my current magic power, the portal can only transmit up to eight people at a time. In other words, we can't take my Black Hawk Knights with us, we can only go into battle lightly, and face Vigfortz and his henchmen .”

Hearing this, the devil lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the vampire who was listening quietly, and said in a deep voice:

"Reggis, it will be very dangerous this time. The enemy we are going to face is an extremely powerful warlock. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Regis interrupted him directly:

"When are we leaving?"

Hearing this, the devil took a deep look at the vampire who always looked like a noble gentleman, then nodded and looked at Lu Qi:

"Will it be too thin if there are only three of us? Wigfortz is not so easy to deal with..."

"I didn't say, only the three of us are going to save people."

Facing Geralt's puzzled gaze, Lu Qi's mouth curled up, revealing a mysterious smile:

"While you were hanging out with the sorceresses in Toussaint, I wasn't idle at all..."

. . .

Nilfgaard, somewhere in the Ebbing region.

The far end of the plateau was shrouded in mists at the foot of the mountains, like a sea of ​​rocks.The ups and downs of the plateau form continuous hills, which look like sharp reefs.

All around, there are wrecks of ships.

Some ships seem to have just run aground not long ago, and some ships have stayed on this reef for an unknown number of years, which can be distinguished from the unrecognizable skeletons.

Among them, the bones of the dead crew members can also be seen in the ship, stuck in the rotten wooden boards, as if sentenced to eternal voyage.

And in this wilderness full of wreckage, near the edge of the cliff, stood a dark castle.

At this moment, the figure of a rider appeared above the field as if appearing out of thin air.

Then there was the sound of heavy hoofbeats, which alarmed groups of blackbirds perched on the wreckage.They croaked, flapped their wings and flew away, circling non-stop in the sky.

A tall and slender girl with a long sword on her back and a scar on her face, the silver-haired girl was riding that beautiful black mare, just quietly looking at the black castle in the distance without saying a word.

The black mare snorted, raised one leg, and stomped, looking vigilantly at the dead land of shipwrecks and human bones in front of her.

As if sensing the horse's emotions, Ciri couldn't help but leaned down, reached out and touched the smooth mane, and said in a low voice:

"Take it easy, Kelby. We're in the right place at the right time. And here's where the journey ends..."

"Let's go get Mother out!"

After finishing speaking, she lightly kicked the horse's belly, and galloped away towards the castle in the distance...

Chapter 598 For Yennefer, but also for fate

The silver-haired Ciri appeared out of nowhere in front of the city wall, as if blown by the wind from the field full of bones and sunken ships, without warning.

The first person to spot her was the sentinel standing guard at the city gate.

Before that, the shrill cry of the jackdaw made them more vigilant.

Upon discovering the uninvited guest, the sentinel immediately gestured and called out to the other companions.

Seeing this, Shirley just smiled contemptuously, then walked towards the city gate step by step while maintaining a calm pace.

When she came to the city gate, a large group of people had already gathered there.
