Chapter 1429 1401. Extraordinary Charm
"Is that the killer crab, a specialty of the Kevir Sea?"
Lan En, Margarita, and Triss stood at the dining table. The witcher looked with interest at a giant crab surrounded by gorgeous ice sculptures.
When the legs of this crab are fully extended, the length is close to that of a ten-year-old child. Coupled with the sharp protrusions and large pincers on the shell, it really looks like it can kill people.
However, compared with real monsters such as crab spiders and Kikimo, the 'killer crab' is just a gimmick.
The crabs that Lan En had seen in the swamps of the Zhenxun Forest in the Flame World were as terrifying as the size of a villa.
"It takes half a month to transport it by sea, right?"
"In fact, it was still on the seabed in Coville two hours before the banquet started." Margarita used a silver spoon to dig out a spoonful of crystal clear crab meat from the opened crab shell and told the hunter The demon said, "Teleportation is a great invention."
"Okay, okay." Lan En clapped insincerely, "It would be better if the great invention could be popularized."
"Aren't we just doing it? You make it sound like we are all a bunch of lazy people."
Margarita rolled her eyes at him.
Lan En actually didn't want to come to pick up the food from the dining table at all, because at this kind of banquet, this kind of action meant that some kind of social obligation would also come at the same time.
Someone will recognize you, act as if they're delighted by that fact, and then come up to say hello in a tone that's both warm and insincere.
After the obligatory kiss in the air and the limp handshake, after the fake smile and the insincere but clever compliment, there was a dull, short, sterile conversation.
Lan En only knew a few people here, namely the warlocks who had communicated with each other about the research progress through the telescope during the crystal cultivation project.
And even among these warlocks, their communication was limited to academic matters.
After all, every time Lan En came back, it was a break during his adventure across the world. He couldn't allocate his time to warlocks like him who had no friendship with him, and use it to do household chores.
It's great to be friends by fate, but Lan En doesn't feel any regrets if we only keep in touch at work.
Most of the people who came to say hello and contributed to the dull and meaningless pleasantries mentioned above were friends of the two female companions.
From Lan En's point of view, human relations and sophistication are the same all over the world, even across the world.
The friend of the female companion came over. If you still act like you don't want to let strangers in, and you don't even want to show a smile, then where are you leaving Margarita and Tris?
So although he didn't like this kind of communication, Lan En was still considerate and perfect, and he completed all his social etiquette and obligations with ease.
His smile is like a breath of fresh air, and just with his eyes and slight movements, he can make people feel that he is valued and his heart is warm.
Some people who seemed to have poor social skills and stumbled over to talk to each other started to speak more and more fluently, and their mood became more and more eager, even under Lan En's smile, and they were even close to excitement.
Even idle pleasantries are about to turn into one-sided chats with real friends.
There is no doubt that the two sorceresses also became closer to the witcher during this process.
Margarita and Tris's cheeks, which were already slightly red from drinking, were even more flushed. The delicate red color extended from their cheeks to their slender necks, high chests, and down their bodies.
For the sorceress, the envious and jealous looks of others are the best aphrodisiac.
Originally, two sorceresses attended with a male companion. These two sorceresses were the famous Dean Aretuza and the Temerian royal family advisor.
This is already big news.
There were whispers, dark speculations and gossip.
From this point of view, the people at this noble and luxurious banquet are no different from the women in the village of Willen who gossip while working.
But when Lann actually started to show off a little at the banquet, all these whispers disappeared.
People began to spontaneously understand and even envy these two sorceresses.
This is not the first time that Lan En has shown this kind of transcendent charm. At the end of the Battle of Sodden Hill, almost all the soldiers who had witnessed his figure on the battlefield almost spontaneously saluted him after the war. .
Even the kings at that time definitely did not receive this kind of treatment.
In the social world of fame and fortune, Lan En's charm is no less than on the battlefield.
Although he only showed it a little bit, the atmosphere of the entire banquet hall unconsciously turned into a whirlpool with him as the center and began to stir.
Dijkstra's expression was normal, but he knew how surprised he was now.
God knows what happened! He couldn't help but want to move in that direction just now! If he hadn't spilled the wine glass in his hand, he might have walked to the dining table right now!
Dijkstra did not go to Sowden in person during the last war, but only provided intelligence support at the rear.
But now he fully understood why Vizmir had such a complicated and indescribable expression when he mentioned this person after returning from Sodden Mountain.
"Is this magic?" Dijkstra looked at Philippa Earhardt very seriously. He even repeated it again to strengthen his tone, "Is this some kind of magic?!"
And Philippa's face was ugly and shocked: "You have not seen as many mages in this room in the first half of your life! If this is magic, do you think these people are idiots? Are you rushing to join in other people's magic?"
But no matter what, Lan En has fulfilled his social obligations at this banquet perfectly, and no one can find a thorn in his side.
In due course, the young witcher pulled himself away.
Tonight, he also wanted to leave his energy and thoughts to those who were truly valuable, such as the ten great mages from the Talents and Skills Association and the Supreme Council of Warlocks.
These people are the ones who truly determine the direction and will of the warlock group.
Convincing them will help pour a basin of sober cold water on the heads of those reckless kings.
Lan En was thinking this, but then, a friend was walking over with another friend among the people at the banquet.
Yennefer's expression was confused, but mixed with a bit of joy, while Geralt's face was completely paralyzed.
But Lan En, who was already familiar with White Wolf, knew very well that under his paralyzed expression, he was completely at a loss.
"Sabina came to talk to me just now!" Yennefer went straight to Triss and Margarita and snorted coldly, "Have you seen her clothes? Only shameless and tasteless people would wear them. ! This woman is older than me!"
"Forget it, let's not mention it. It's as if this woman has anything else to care about."
Only when they turned their backs and complained about others, it seemed that sorceresses were no different from ordinary women.
Triss and Margarita stepped forward to greet him with shining eyes. : "What did she ask you? Now everyone knows that Sabine is gathering information for Henselt of Kaedwen."
"Really?" Yennefer said in shock, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was joking.
The three sorceresses laughed wildly while arranging private arrangements for others, and Geralt walked to Lan En as if he was relieved.
He pulled at his collar, as if he was strangled and unable to breathe.
"It's a good thing you're here." White Wolf sighed. "These funny clothes and this uncomfortable new party. It's all taking my breath away."
"Isn't it the rule of the wizards that everyone should be blown by the draft and then eat raw and cold seafood until they are full?"
"So far, that's indeed the case." Lan En nodded, not surprised by Geralt's complaint. "But I see that Yennefer is actually very happy, and you are also very happy. What happened?"
Bai Lang's already paralyzed expression suddenly seemed a little stiffer.
".I love Yennefer."
Lan En was a little surprised: "I know, what next?"
"I mean, I said it myself that I love her. Just now, after she was aroused by that Sabina."
Lan En's expression was calm at first, and he blinked. Then, after he finally understood Geralt's words a second later, the young witcher's eyes slowly widened.
"Wow~"
The demon hunter from the bear school excitedly patted the shoulder of the demon hunter from the wolf school, as if looking at a piece of wood that suddenly became enlightened!
"Geralt. Geralt! You're making progress! You're making great progress!"
"Then what? Tell me quickly!"
"Then." Geralt's stiff lips also smiled, "She also responded to me, the kind that couldn't wait."
"Then, the respected Duke of Cintra." Yennefer intervened at this time, grabbed Geralt's hand and pulled it away. "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and the to-do list is also very long. I have to complete it one by one."
"Oh!" Lan En smiled friendly, "Yes, you must have a lot to talk about."
"For things like talking," Yennefer smiled ambiguously and looked at the white wolf next to her with suggestive and provocative eyes, "You can go to the back. I should say I will go to the back, Lan En. "
This answer made Lan En raise his eyebrows, and also made the other two sorceresses chuckle unspokenly.
