Chapter 176 This time, it’s not the tree spirit who came to knock on the window in the middle of the night

"The witch hunter... four." Ogilde didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes became playful.

"As far as I know, there is a witch hunter wandering in Niphgad's territory. Emperor Enhill has been trying to recruit them but has not been able to do so. It has been several years." The beggar king thought, "Now it seems that it has finally succeeded?"

"The news from the North is gathered at Novigre, and the news from Novigre is gathered at you." Reines glanced at the Beggar King, "but this seems to be beyond the scope of 'Northern News'."

The beggar king chuckled: "The enhanced trade with Niphgaard is also good for me. The traders in the south can bring all kinds of news, otherwise why do you think I would sit at this table and discuss things with you?"

And not only that, I also know more news. The beggar king sneered in his heart as he looked at the four witch hunters.

Calemanji sighed sincerely: "In this way, our plan is even more foolproof!"

"The end of Lannister and Schappelle is here!"

…………

"Sir, Mr. Schappelle is here."

Lann is looking at the jade carvings of the Toad Prince and the Catsman in his hand.

After hearing the report from House outside the door, he thought for a while and took back the Cat Pie Witcher Jade Carving [Inventory].

As for Prince Toad, he continued to stay in his hands and play with it.

"Lannister, I heard that I solved the abominable giant toad, and it took only one night?"

Schappeller soon came to Lann's living room and glanced at Lann and Triss with a slight look.

He had something to worry about, and seemed to be making a decision in his heart.

"Yes, I told your soldiers about my search route last night. They should be able to find the giant toad's nest, along with the poor girls and the followers of Eternal Fire - may they rest in peace."

Schappel corrected the error of the wording in Lanen's words: "They are not 'my soldiers', they are all believers of Eternal Fire, but just following me because of their piety to Eternal Fire."

He seems to have encountered many such misunderstandings, but he is also very persistent in explaining this issue in detail every time.

"But there is something strange, Lannister. I didn't find the corpse of the giant toad." Schappeller looked into Lann's eyes and said seriously, "I hope you can help me solve my doubts."

Lane threw the statue of Prince Toad to Shapele and said without caring: "Because I did not kill it, but caught it. Haven't you heard the story of Prince Toad?"

Just as the toad jade carving was taken to Shapele, the system's prompt sound rang here.

【Task - Where the flame cannot be illuminated - Completed】

Schappel took the jade carving and began to look at it. As the representative of Eternal Fire and Novigre, he naturally had a lot of knowledge and was not unfamiliar with all kinds of rumors in this city.

"[Change and Shape-Covering Technique], right? I should have guessed it long ago that there must be a purpose for a sudden addition of a sorcerer around you."

He suddenly sneered: "But no matter what the toad is, it killed innocent girls, slaughtered my soldiers, and also caused immeasurable losses to the Temple Island with toad toxins on its body. It should be tried and paid for its debts with blood and flesh.

But since you have captured it, we can adopt a more exciting way to calm the anger of the victim - let it wash away its sins in the fire of eternity."

Shapele's voice was cold, but it had already shown a scene like fire in front of everyone.

Lann read a different feeling from it, and Shapele's reaction was a little wrong. Compared with the image of "calm military officer" that Shapele showed when he met several times before, his mood fluctuated too much today.

The toad did not extinguish the brazier in their hall, and Shapele's reaction was a bit too intense.

The most important thing is that the system prompts that the task has been completed, but the person is still chattering in front of him, which is unreasonable.

Then there is only one truth: the person in front of him is acting, or he wants to "examine" something. At this time, their conversation theme is no longer "Prince of Toad", but something else.

Lann had a premonition that this conversation would lead the relationship between the two in a completely new direction.

Lane took a deep breath, and his expression management was online, and he needed to act.

"If that's what you are going to say, then Schappelle, I'm sorry that I can't let you take my captives."

Schappel sneered: "Are you sure? In Novigre, on the side of the Temple Island, under the land shining with eternal fire?"

"Yes, I have two reasons. Because we have always had a good relationship, I will spend more time to answer you." Lane nodded, his tone cold, "First: According to my information, this 'Toad Prince' is the prince of the Kingdom of Orpheus. Sintra now needs every ally that can be won, so I want to protect this 'Toad Prince' and even lift the curse for it."

"Then you will lose the friendship of eternal fire. Losing friends who are close to you for the far-reaching kingdom will overturn my perception of 'you are a smart person'."

“So I have a second reason.”

Lann looked into Shapele's eyes and seemed to be talking to another person.

"This prince was cursed and lost his mind and committed the crimes you accused of, and he was also a victim. If we were to find someone to punish him, we should go to the person who cursed him, not him."

"'I don't blame the knife for the knife, I'm going to catch the knife', right? Your words have been spread by the poets." Schappeller said, "But that's not enough, Lannister. There is no evidence to prove that the toad is innocent. In my eyes, it is just a murderous monster."

"Shapele, why do you need to prove his 'innocence'? Shouldn't the evidence be used to prove his 'crime'?" Lane said word by word, "Does the 'monster' be damned?"

Schappeller suddenly was stunned. He didn't seem to expect Lane to say such words.

"You know I know Geralt. He told me a lot of stories, including the kind Nymph, shapeshift monster, vampire bird, night demon, etc. He met. These monsters that are feared by ordinary people are often disadvantaged groups. Even in their eyes, humans are the 'monsters'."

Lane and Geralt do chat often, but these were not mentioned by Geralt, but were learned by Lane from his previous life.

"People see monsters and think that they are guilty, which is wrong. They reject, discriminate, and even kill everything they don't understand. They are still just these wise non-human creatures, but I think that one day this attitude will extend to other non-human races, and even humans with inhuman power, such as warlocks and witch hunters."

Lane continued: "I object to this concept of life, and so does Sintra. We have eliminated discrimination and prejudice with the tree spirits and established friendships with the dwarves. My servants have received help from the Night Demon at Tousten. All these prove that Geralt and I are right in the way we act."

The topic has gradually deviated from the theme of "About the way to deal with the Toad Prince", but the purpose of Lann's conversation with Schapelle tonight is not this. He is to adjust the topic and instill his thoughts into Schapelle in front of him.

Geralt almost drew his sword in front of Schapelle in order to protect a transformed monster, so he gained Schapelle's friendship. Lane felt that he could try to replicate it.

But the empathy between "Prince of Toad" and Schappelle is obviously less than that of the Transformer, so Lane needs to add a little thought to instill the other party to agree with his own point of view.

"So, I will not let you kill Prince Toad just like this. I will not let him die because of other people's sins, nor will he die because of ridiculous reasons such as 'cursed as a toad'!"

Tris was shocked by Lane, but not because of Lane's "kind" speech, but in her impression, Lane should not seem so inflexible on such occasions.

Even if this toad is really a prince, it is very unwise to have a conflict with the fire of Eternity for him.

Tris was about to start chanting a spell to prevent Shapele from summoning the temple guards in and causing conflict.

But she suddenly recalled the little secret Lane told herself about "Sappelle".

A trace of clarity flashed in the sorcerer's eyes, and after thinking about it, he calmed down again.

Sure enough, when Schappeller heard Lane's passionate speech, he was not angry, and even completely lost his cold temperament.

His tone suddenly softened.

"Yes, yes. You are Geralt's friend, right? As expected, Geralt's friends are like this. No matter what race or profession, halfling, bard, or noble."

He looked at the jade statue of the Toad Prince in his hand and handed it back to Lann.

【Task - Where the flame cannot illuminate - Completed】

"Since Geralt told you those stories, I don't know if he mentioned me to you. But I guess not, after all, he is a good person who helps friends keep secrets..."

What else Shapele wanted to say, but a strange noise that no one present had expected suddenly interrupted him.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"

In the middle of the night, a "knock" suddenly came from the direction of Lann's window.

This scene gave Lan En a sense of familiarity in a trance. In the past, when he opened the window, he could see a young lady with green skin and natural clothes outside the window.

But it's not Brocclon here, and it's absolutely impossible for a tree spirit outside the window to be a dick.

Who can go around his Sintra sentry or even the guard of Eternal Fire in the middle of the night and touch outside his room?

Or is it that my subordinates were let go again?

[Qunen Dharma Seal] On the upper body, just as Lanen touched his hand at the Lake Girl Sword, he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice sound outside the window.

"Lann, Lann! You're inside, right? Open the window!"

Accompanied by this cry that was extremely low, there were a few more knocks on the window.

The faces of the three people in the room suddenly became strange.

Lanen walked forward with a smile and opened the window, facing a pair of amber snake eyes.

Kogrim, the witch hunter he saved in the white orchard, is back.
