After Emperor Nilfgaard stood firm, he calmly arranged his clothes, then looked at Leo and said: "I know you, foreigner Leo, the partner of the Knight of Light, a knight more terrifying than the Knight of Light.
.”
Leo looked at the other party calmly, without giving any response. He pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and faced the direction Geralt and the others left.
"You are such a rude fellow!" Emperor Nilfgaard frowned and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you?"
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance. It seemed that the Nilfgaard Empire's army saw their emperor being released in the distance and was coming here.
Leo, who should have left immediately, reined in his horse and stopped leaving. He was not worried at all about the approaching Nilfgaard Empire army. Instead, he calmly looked back at the Nilfgaard Emperor and said, "What are you planning to do?"
How to take revenge?"
"For example, I will send troops to Toussaint." Emperor Nilfgaard said.
Leo looked at the other party as if he were a fool, and said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Toussaint seems to be a subordinate country of the Nilfgaard Empire, right? You can send troops to your subordinate country,
Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to come and take revenge on me, a foreigner?”
Emperor Nilfgaard's face was slightly ugly. Just as Leo said, what he just said was indeed extremely ridiculous.
At this time, the Nilfgaard Empire's army had arrived near the two of them. The Nilfgaard Emperor walked towards his army, and with the help of a knight, he got on his horse. The surrounding troops also put their hands on their weapons.
It seems that as long as he gives the order, the offender in front of him will be hacked to death.
However, Emperor Nilfgaard did not order an attack, but said: "You and the Knight of Light come to the Nilfgaard Empire! I will give you the treatment that Anna Henrietta can never give you."
After hearing this, Leo smiled and drove away without any response, showing great contempt.
"Your Majesty, would you like..." At this time, the previous personal knight rode up to the Nilfgaard Emperor and asked.
"No need." Emperor Nilfgaard shook his head and rejected the proposal. It didn't mean that he didn't want to retaliate against Leo, but that he felt that if he took action, he would probably be the one who was humiliated in the end, because it was just him.
The attitude and confidence Leo showed just now made him realize that the information he had collected before might be true.
This also made him curious about France, a country he had never heard of. Two random people had such amazing strength and talents. At the same time, he also felt a sense of crisis and felt the need to speed up his plan.
Leo had no interest in knowing what the Emperor of Nilfgaard was feeling at the moment. Using his extraordinary sense of smell and following the body scent left by Sylvia, Leo galloped in the direction they left.
After walking for about forty or fifty minutes, he arrived at a small village, and Sylvia and the others happened to be waiting outside the village. When they saw Leo's figure, they all came over to greet him. Among them, An
The two little girls Gu Lan and Xili still raised their hands and shook them vigorously, as if they were afraid that Leo wouldn't see them.
"How is things going?" After the meeting, Sylvia asked for everyone.
"I let him go on the way. He was picked up by his army and no one was sent to follow him." Leo briefly explained the situation, then turned to Geralt and the others and said, "But I don't know.
Will he send someone to chase you along the way? You'd better leave the Nilfgaard Empire as soon as possible."
"You?" Geralt heard the meaning of Leo's words very sensitively and asked: "Aren't you and Sylvia going with us?"
"No!" Leo shook his head, patted the anti-magic metal box that contained Night God's Sigh, and said, "We have found what we need, and we are going back."
"Go back? Fran?" Geralt asked.
"Yeah!" Leo nodded.
At this time, Cassirer also said: "I want to separate from you too."
"You want to separate too?" Everyone was stunned, and soon they understood that Cassirer planned to return to the capital of the Nilfgaard Empire.
So everyone objected one after another. Only Shirley acted calmly and seemed not to care about the dangers that Cassirer would encounter after leaving. Perhaps deep down in her heart, she just wanted Cassirer to leave, because Cassirer was the same to her.
A nightmare.
Geralt said with a worried look: "You are crazy. If you go back like this, the emperor you attached will blame you for the humiliation of being kidnapped, and will also blame you for not catching Ciri."
If you go back, you are seeking death!"
Cassirer didn't refute, just smiled.
Everyone has been getting along with Cassirer for a long time. They know what his personality is like and understand that no matter how much persuasion is used, they can only wish him good luck and say that if they leave the Nilfgaard Empire, they will come to
The northern kingdoms went to find them.
So, the group of people split up in this small village. Geralt and the others headed north to Claremont. It seemed that they were planning to go to Claremont to settle a debt. Cassirer turned around and headed towards the road they came from.
, to see if they can catch up with Emperor Nilfgaard's army.
Leo and Sylvia did not go north. They took a detour to Tegamo, a nearby large town. They decided to let Leo absorb the remaining pages while wandering around the Nilfgaard Empire.
Because Leo felt that as long as he absorbed all the remaining pages, the thick fog that brought them to this world would appear.
Because they could control the time of their departure, Leo and Sylvia were not in a hurry. They wandered around various cities in the Nilfgaard Empire, taking on some tasks to earn some commissions, and at the same time solving some bandits. In addition to getting bounties,
, they can also get a lot of extra income from bandits.
After getting money, they will use the money to buy three kinds of things, one is medicine and various materials needed for alchemy, the other is the magic book of this world, and the last one is anti-magic metal.
The materials they bought would be immediately made by Leo into potions and rare items with various effects. Among these rare items, those with the best effects would be installed on the body, while the worse ones would find opportunities to sell them to others at high prices.
In addition, with increasingly sophisticated alchemy, Leo remodeled the king and queen. While retaining the power of the weapons, he also greatly weakened the recoil of the weapons to a level that Sylvia could use, and then
These two weapons were given to Sylvia for use.
Although Sylvia has a hand crossbow, its power is obviously not at the same level as that of the king and queen. When Sylvia brought these two weapons to Jean Valjean for modification, she had already modified these two weapons.
The weapon was extremely coveted, but it was a pity that even Jean Valjean could only modify it, not imitate it.
Now that Leo has given these two weapons to her, she is naturally happy to accept them, but she is worried about whether Leo's long-range attack ability will be affected without these two weapons.
However, when she saw Leo using the Crystal Soul Gun and Leo, Thunder Gun and other magic and psychic powers, she didn't think much more about it.
As for the magic book, Leo bought it initially to see if he could find content that could be converted into psychic skills. But later, Sylvia discovered that these warlock spells seemed to be helpful for her to master her current power.
Before this, Sylvia had always been very passive about how to use her power, because she found that after the power in her body was unblocked, her previous methods and experience of controlling power were no longer effective, so now she can only
As the body adapts to the new strength, it is also looking for ways to control its own strength.
When she was in Toussaint, she found some methods. For example, she was able to control herself to emit affinity and intimidation, which was of great benefit to her in commanding the entire Knights of Light. In addition, she also mastered some magic skills using witches.
The magic-like power generated by this power is just not very powerful.
At that time, she also wanted to find solutions to her problems from these magic books, but her attention was distracted by other things at that time, and she did not have much time to read these magic books.
But now she and Leo were wandering around the Nilfgaard Empire purely for fun, spending a lot of time reading these books every day, and after settling down, she quickly discovered a lot of useful content from the books.
Therefore, she also began to pay attention to these magic books.
However, these magic books are very expensive. The commissions and trophies they get from doing tasks and killing bandits are not enough to make them buy so many magic books. Fortunately, the wizard artifacts made by Leo can be sold for a high price.
, barely able to break even.
As for anti-magic metal, Leo wants to get it because not only does the world of Velen not have this special metal, but even in the universe, there is no such metal that can produce extraordinary powers such as psychic energy.
Such a big banning effect.
Not to mention anything else, just this box made of anti-magic metal can completely isolate the influence of the remaining pages of Night God's Sigh, which shows the magical effect of this metal.
However, this metal is not without its flaws, and its scope of action is the biggest problem.
Leo once tried to repair the pair of anti-magic metal handcuffs that had held Ciri before, and then fastened them on his own hands.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that his hands had become a restricted area for extraordinary power. Not only the various divine powers in his body, but also psychic powers could not enter that place, as if there was a wall there that could not be broken.
But except for his hands, spiritual energy and divine mark power will not be affected in any way. If he wishes, he can still exert various powers without his hands.
The limitations of this anti-magic metal make this handcuffs have limitations, and also make these handcuffs unable to restrain Leo, but for the warlocks and mages of this world, these handcuffs are fatal, because they need to use them to cast spells.
Once you have it, losing your hand is equivalent to losing the ability to cast spells, so as long as the anti-magic metal handcuffs cuff warlocks and mages, there is no possibility for them to break free.
It is precisely because it has a strong confining effect on warlocks and mages that most of this anti-magic metal is controlled by the official hands of the Nilfgaard Empire. The amount circulating outside is extremely rare, and even if there is, it will be used by others.
The people who bought and bought these things included warlocks and mages who did not want the anti-magic metal to fall into the hands of others, as well as some organizations that were extremely hostile to warlocks and mages.
It is difficult for Leo and Sylvia to buy this special metal as individuals, so most of the time they spend money to buy information and then obtain this type of metal through other means.
Leo has not yet thought of the specific use of this metal. He just coated the weapons with a layer of anti-magic metal and made some anti-magic metal arrows and daggers so that they could be used against enemies with extraordinary power.
On the other side, Leo and Sylvia did not hide their identities while walking in the Nilfgaard Empire, and they could not hide anything. The gorgeous armor on their bodies was so eye-catching that it was difficult to recognize them.
And when they robbed those who possessed anti-magic metal, they also did not hide their identities, so that all organizations in the Nilfgaard Empire knew that the Knights of Light had come here to rob anti-magic metal.
Everyone in metal organizations and individuals has become insecure, fearing that Leo and Sylvia will target them.
Faced with the bad behavior of Leo and Sylvia, some people thought of resisting and summoned a large number of people to surround the two. As a result, except for a few people who escaped, everyone else died at the hands of the two.
Later, the local governor and army of the Nilfgaard Empire also arrested two people because of the emperor's order. If the number of arresters they sent was too small, they would be killed directly by the two. If there were too many, they would be killed.
, the two of them will avoid these people, go to other places, or wait for these people to separate and then defeat them one by one.
Soon the governor and officials of the local government also gave up on arresting Leo and the two, not only because they could not be arrested, but more because the casualties were too great. If they continued to die, they might not be able to do anything.
Improved security in the entire region.
Therefore, they turned a blind eye to the two of them. Even when the two of them entered the town, they did not try to catch them. Instead, they asked the patrolling soldiers to stay away from them and not to conflict with them.
In this way, Leo and Sylvia wandered around the Nilfgaard Empire for more than ten days, bought dozens of magic books, and grabbed a box of anti-magic metal. Since they could not store it in the storage space, he could only
Put the box on the saddle of the other draft horse.
In the past ten days, Leo has also absorbed several remaining pages of Night God's Sigh. Now there is only the last one left, which he will absorb in the next two days. In this state, he
Chapter completed!
