Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1441 1413. Shocking change!

The winding path leading down to the Palace of Luo Xia is carved into the hillside, and the terraces are covered with a combination of natural growth and horticultural vegetation.

Dijkstra quickly walked to a terrace and stopped slightly in front of the team. It was a wall decorated with rows of stone gryphon heads.

These heads are flowing water, which can be regarded as a fountain landscape.

Redania's chief spy put his head under the gryphon's head and took a sip of water.

Because Dijkstra did not delay the team's progress, Lan En did not stop him.

The witcher looked further down the terraces, where some Redanian soldiers had already arrived at the Rosha Palace holding torches.

They were forming a single file, crossing a stone bridge over a crack in the ledge.

By now, it should be around five or six in the morning, and the originally dark sea surface is also slightly glowing with a reddish golden light, making it a little brighter.

But a dark cloud slowly twisted and gathered over Xianide Island.

Lan En looked at the dark cloud, and his eyes that were just a little unhappy at first gradually darkened.

"Are you still angry about our actions?" The spy chief looked at Lan En's face and said tentatively, "I apologize for this again, sir. But I don't inform you because the most important thing in our business is to be cautious. ”

"Coups, riots, secret arrests. If you are not careful, nothing will happen."

Dijkstra has confirmed through previous contacts that Lan En should actually agree with their "internal purge" approach.

It's just that the situation always seems too complicated before it becomes clear, and it is also mixed with the troubles of undercover agents and everyone's thoughts.

Dijkstra didn't know what Philippa was planning, and whether she wanted to "incidentally" clean up dissidents through this internal purge.

After all, he couldn't read the sorceress's mind.

But from his personal perspective and purpose, he has no major conflict with Lan En.

Because of this, Dijkstra is actually very upset now.

If the conversation with Lan En at the banquet had been more open, maybe they wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now.

But it's just 'annoyance', far from the level of 'regret'.

After all, what he should do was to catch the traitor among the wizards, and Dijkstra thought he had done a good job.

The magic-blocking golden shackles were grasped accurately, and those traitorous warlocks were destined to be unable to stand up.

There is only one thing left to consider.

"That girl," Dijkstra wiped the water droplets from her mouth and suddenly whispered to Lan En, "are you going to place her in Aretuusa?"

"Don't look at me with such a scary look, sir. I just suggest you think again out of practical and rational considerations."

"Vezmir and I don't want to argue with you or the warlocks at all. It would be best if we could discuss it."

"Geralt is legally the guardian of that important young lady, but now everyone knows that it was you who pulled the girl out of the big blood pit in Sintra."

"As long as you ask, Aretuza will definitely agree, and Geralt and Yennefer will definitely think more about it, right?"

Dijkstra waited for a while, only to find that Lan first frowned at the abnormal dark clouds over Thanede Island, and then responded to him without turning his face.

"How could you have such a ridiculous idea that I would say such a thing for you and Vizmir?"

"Because I think absurdly, sir." Dijkstra stabbed Lan slightly, "You are not saying this for anyone else, but for that very important young lady, you should say this. "

The spy leader tapped the ground with his toes and used his movements to refer to the entire Thaned Island and the academy on the island: "Aretussa is not safe."

"Obviously, there are you here, and there are many great mages, but so what? You saw it with your own eyes tonight. The northern warlocks gave the Nilfgaardians a head-on attack on Mount Soden."

"But the Nilfgaardians are not the brainless villains in poetry! They will gain their memory whenever they suffer losses! Look, in two years, there have been so many traitors among the warlocks in the north! Where did they go before? Dare to think?"

"Among the group of people who were arrested just now, there are also people who came down from Soden Mountain!"

"Yeah, I know, you must have heard the news from other channels, saying that the kings' arrangements for that lady were not ideal. But the situation has changed. Now, a safe and healthy Sirila is more valuable! She Deserve to be hidden and cared for.”

Lan frowned and looked at the sky: "Does Philippa know what you and Vizmir are planning?"

"No," Dijkstra replied flatly, "She doesn't even know that I know that the girl has entered Aretussa."

"My dear Fei can pretend to be great, but Vizmir is the king, and I only carry out his orders." The spy chief said what he said sincerely, but Lan En just sneered, and then Lian Duo said Not a single word is owed.

And suddenly!

"Crack!!"

There was a thunderous explosion!

Under the heavy dark clouds in the sky, a blue lightning flashed down violently!

And the landing point seems to be not far from Xianide Island, it should be on the nearby sea.

The powerful voltage and current suddenly penetrated the air, and even Dijkstra, who wanted to say a few words to Lan En, felt his hair go numb and trembled!

"Meritelli! Is Cliff angry?"

There are two gods in one sentence, which is completely irregular. It is unclear whether it is a prayer or a subconscious scream, which came out of Dijkstra's mouth.

The spy chief is indeed a well-informed person, but he has never experienced thunder and lightning exploding in such a close place!

Dijkstra only remembered that he had just caught a glimpse of a dazzling blue-white light from the corner of his eye!

For the next ten seconds or so, no matter how he moved his eyes, the blue-white patch remained stubbornly in the peripheral vision of his eyes.

This is the residual effect after the eyeballs are suddenly exposed to strong light.

The other Redanian soldiers all looked panicked.

What is going on? !

Doesn't it mean that once the Forbidden Magic Circle of Gastang Palace is opened, only Luosha Palace, which is the farthest away, on the entire Senide Island will not be affected?

We haven’t even gone down to Luo Xia Palace yet!

When the dark clouds in the sky reach this level, even the most ordinary Redanian soldier knows that this is definitely not natural weather!

A well-informed person like Dijkstra has already calculated it in his mind.

Are these thunderclouds used by wizards to control the weather? Or is it the method known as the ‘Heaven Controller’ among druids?

Next to Dijkstra, Lan En seemed to have become accustomed to the thunder clouds and lightning.

He didn't even tilt his head to take a look at the lightning strike point next to Thanede Island. Instead, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the stone griffin head that Dijkstra stretched out his head to drink water just now!

The stone statue appears to be moving.

But in Lan En's eyes, it was clearly visible that it was not the statue that was moving, but the illusion covering the griffon's head that was fluctuating!

They become pitted for a while, from delicate and smooth stone carvings to rough stones, and then return to their original shape again.

Just like the huge stone bridge in Aretusa that had just been repaired not long ago, it was the traces of the sea breeze and the salt in the wind that eroded the stone.

After all, Aretusa has been built for a long time, and all aspects need to be repaired. Although the money for repairs is no longer an issue, the repairs themselves take time.

The bridge is urgently needed, so it is naturally the first to be repaired. The gargoyles on the wall are naturally very far back in the list. Currently, they are still covered with large-scale illusions to protect the dignity of the mages.

And Lan En also knew very well what this clear, fuzzy, and clear fluctuation meant—the standing magic covered on the statue was being disturbed! Becoming unstable!

Gastang Palace!

Two seconds after the thunder fell, Lan En, who observed the changes in the stone carvings on the wall, immediately reacted and looked up towards the top of Xannide Island!

It happened almost at the same time as he shifted his gaze!

"boom!!"

The huge and solemn tower, flames and thick smoke sprayed out from every window, door, and even the stone gaps in the stone tower!

It was comparable to the sound of thunder exploding on the sea just now!

It's just that the explosion of thunder can be said to be the sound of the natural environment, and it didn't attract many people's attention.

But an explosion! The flame explodes! The surging wind and hot air echoed through the gaps in the buildings!

These terrifying sounds are transmitted from the highest point of Thanede Island to the entire sea!

Even the stupidest person wouldn't say this is a 'normal sound'!

Magic is an unnatural force! This is an unnatural explosion!

The explosions and flames from the Gastang Palace are still spreading all the way to the outer sea.

Redania's soldiers and Dijkstra were completely stunned by this sudden turn of events.

They looked up at the Gastang Palace as if they had seen a ghost.

"I'm coming! I'm coming, meow!"

The flannel ball's voice was mixed with the sound of explosions that spread farther and farther, rushing up from the bottom of the terrace where Lan En and the others were currently!

The kitten shouted and ran, and it could be heard from the sound that it was approaching quickly.

If it is calculated based on the fact that it rushed up from the secret cave of Xianide Island, then the time when it set off was basically when the thunderclouds started to gather just now!
