Chapter 282 Intricate Conspiracy

Xin Sheng, who is far away in Vigima, knows nothing about the troubles of Xiri and Natiya, and the situation he and Geralt need to face is even more troublesome.

As King Fultest died at the hands of the witch hunter, the two of them had difficulty investigating the city of Vigima.

If Tris had not been the guarantee as a court sorcerer consultant, and Geralt had just gained a wave of favor for Vigima not long ago, the poorly-behaved Taimolia soldiers would have arrested them immediately.

The nobles of Temolia are making a fuss about inheritance of the throne.

In this case, the existence of the illegitimate child of the old king Fultest was purposefully exposed.

And this person is the biological mother of this illegitimate child, Luisa Lavaredi, Countess Lavaredi, who once had an affair with the old king.

As far as legal terms are concerned, the children of Countess Lavaredi have higher inheritance rights than Princess Yada, who married far away from other countries.

During his lifetime, Fultest hoped to welcome these two children back so that they could save them from becoming victims of political struggles in a hundred years.

However, the plan could not keep up with the change. The situation that the old king least wanted to see happened after he was accidentally stabbed.

Count Lavaredi is much older than her wife. He has been bedridden since last year and is about to lose his life.

In this case, Luisa Lavaredi, the countess, took over almost the entire family's affairs.

When the old king tried to welcome his illegitimate children back, she saw a hope of reaching the sky. When she was about to bargain with Fultest, the witch hunter assassin sent by Resor took action to assassinate Fultest.

But this is not entirely a bad thing for Countess Lavaredi.

Excluding Princess Yada who has married to Redanya, her children Ballsey and Anes are the last bloodline of the Taimolia royal family.

Out of his political ambitions, the Countess deliberately spread the matter widely without regard to the reputation of the late old king, trying to push his young son Ballsey to the throne, and he was regent behind the scenes.

Of course, other nobles could not sit still and watch this happen. The seemingly powerful Taimolia could have a large-scale civil war at any time.

The royal change should have nothing to do with Xin Sheng and Geralt, but the witch hunter of the Viper School who sent people to assassinate the old king is likely to know Yennefa's whereabouts, which is related to Geralt.

Tris had a premonition of something wrong from the turbulent situation in Termolia, but before the worst happened, she still wanted to try to save her, who was in the high position of the court warlock.

No matter how the nobles quarreled, Tris's purpose in finding the murderer would not be hindered.

No matter who inherits the throne in the end, in order to protect Temolia's face, it is necessary to find out the murderer and punish him severely.

With the acquiescent support of nobles from all sides, Triss can use the official power and intelligence network of Termolia.

Under her overall planning, the spies quickly discovered the traces left by Resso and others.

"Lomune?"

"Yes."

Tris, who was teleported to the hotel, told Xin Sheng and Geralt the clues she had found.

"The death of King Fultester shocked the entire north, and King Demave III of Aden was also assassinated recently."

"The northern countries realize that there may be other hidden information behind these two assassinations, so the sorcerers who gradually faded out of the power level also hope to take this opportunity to return to the power level of the northern countries."

"Under their call, Radovid V of Redania and King Henset of Codwin responded positively, and the countries decided to gather in Lomungne for a high-level summit."

"Resor and his companions are also approaching Lomune, and his target is probably the kings of other northern kingdoms."

The ancient city of Lomune is located at the source of the Ponta River that runs across the northern continent, at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The ancient city has extremely abundant magic net energy and was once one of the base camps of the Elf of Iron Hidi.

In a notorious war, Lomune was captured by Redania, and the elves in the city, regardless of gender, age, were all massacred by the Redanians, and Lomune gradually became deserted.

After the coup in Sinnied Island, the Warlock Council collapsed for a while, and some remaining Warlocks moved their base camp to Lomune, which was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

If this summit is successfully held under the leadership of the sorcerers and ends smoothly, senior officials from all countries except Radovid V agree to return the gradually marginalized sorcerers to the palace.

The information provided by Tris has not ended yet, and she smiled bitterly and gave a reminder.

"Xin, thanks to your good fortune in Sinnied Island, I got an important piece of information from Rita."

"oh?"

Xin Sheng asked curiously: "Is it news about the Warlock Sisters?"

"Yes."

Tris sighed and rubbed his eyebrows with some headache: "Do you still remember Philiba?"

"Of course, I heard not long ago that she was dug up by Radovid V and expelled from the palace... Isn't Philiba going to be at peace?"

Tris sneered: "That person's desire for power is stronger than anyone else, of course she would not accept her fate. For the warlock, losing his eyes is not a big deal."

"But this time it was not that she took the initiative to make trouble, but that someone planned to blame the assassination of the kings of both countries on the sorcerer's sorcerer."

"Recently, an unfounded rumor has begun to spread among the people, saying that members of the Warlock Sisters assassinated Demaway III and Fultest one after another."

Tris got frustrated and scratched his neatly red hair: "For the blessing of this rumor, my movements were also restricted."

"Philipa intends to lead the sorcerer to participate in this summit in person, find out the real murderer, and take off the shit basin that was stolen on the sorcerer's head."

Xin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "It should be the smoke bomb released by Reso, but there should be others behind him who should be fueling the fire."

"And, this person's status is not low."

‘You bald, are you the ones who did it?’

For Radovid V, who hates the sorcerer, it doesn't matter who Demaway and Fultest died.

If he could achieve his political purpose with the deaths of the two kings, he would not mind pushing behind the rumors of Resor's walk.

"ha!"

Xin Sheng sneered and said in a sarcastic tone: "It's really interesting. There are so many complicated conspiracies behind this important summit to discuss the future of northern countries."

"I'm really convinced that Nifgaard is already at the city, and these people are still interested in engaging in internal strife."

The sense of crisis that continues to approach has made Xin Sheng feel very bad recently. He only hopes to get things done here as soon as possible, and Avarak can return from Ain Al's world as soon as possible.

However, things went against my wishes. I don’t know if I had any trouble, but there is still no news.

As the exposure value gradually approached the critical point, Xin Sheng even began to consider how to invade Ian Al's world and face the wild hunting army.

However, Xin Sheng, who still had reason, knew very well that this was the courage of a stubborn man.

He forced himself to suppress his temper and helped Geralt continue to pursue Yennefa's whereabouts.

As long as Yennefa is found and Geralt's memory is restored, Cili's favorability towards him will definitely increase further and accelerate the progress of completing the main task.

But the search for the bad things that Ye Naifa involved made Xin Sheng more and more anxious, and he was speechless about the spirit of death that the northern countries still did not forget the internal struggle at the critical moment of the army.

"Huh~"

After taking a deep breath, Xin Sheng barely returned to his calmness.

"No matter how secretly the northern countries plan, we must go to Lomune, hoping to meet Reso before being captured by the official army of the northern countries."
