The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 271 My King

Under the burning flames of black light, the three old witches turned into ashes without much struggle.

As soon as the master died, Anna, a slave, was also affected. She began to twitch violently, and dark red blood gradually oozed from her mouth and nose.

The children were frightened and shouted "Grandma, Grandma" around her.

Seeing this, Geralt couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried about Anna's safety and whether he could successfully complete the baron's commission.

Fortunately, he has an omniscient prophet.

Li Ang told the witcher to go to the cellar where he had just taken the tapestry and look for the puppet that the old witch used to control Anna.

The doll's appearance is easy to recognize, with Anna's hair and her favorite purple hollyhock flowers on it.

This kind of flower is not distributed locally in Willen. It was specially brought back from other places by the baron.

Not long after Geralt entered the thatched house, Anna's breathing gradually became calmer, as if she fell asleep, and it was obvious that she had successfully obtained the doll.

The only problem was that no matter how much the children shouted, they couldn't wake her up.

Li Ang had anticipated this, and the solution was very simple. One stroke of [Regression Principle] could remove all curses and negative statuses.

But there’s no rush, since after-sales service can’t be dealt with in one go.

After Geralt came out, he expressed concern about Anna's condition, and then asked what to do with the doll?

"Give it to the Baron and ask him to keep it safe." Leon paused: "By the way, let him bring some people to take his wife and children back."

Geralt guessed his purpose: "Are you going to let the Baron take care of these children?"

Li Ang explained: "Find him something to do so he doesn't have to drink all day."

Geralt felt that this method was quite feasible, and he thought it was the baron and his wife who atone for Tia's sins.

Afterwards, the witcher returned to Crow's Nest lightly, while Li Ang stayed in Humpback Mire to look after the children.

At this point, the line between the Baron's wife and Lady in the Forest has come to an end.

In fact, there is a branch line of the soul of the heart of the tree. It was originally a druid guarding the forest and swamp. It was later defeated by the old witch using black magic. However, because of the protection of the earth spirit, it could not be killed and could only be killed. Imprisoned in the heart of the oak tree by sorcery.

The three old witches had actually coveted the child adopted by Anna for a long time, and regarded it as a snack in their own captivity. It was also because of the relationship between the druid and the spirit of the earth that they were unable to take advantage of it.

However, although the image of the druid soul is more positive, its personality is quite extreme. Once released, it will massacre the villagers of Lower Valen who once helped the evildoers.

Therefore, Li Ang feels that it is better to maintain the status quo.

About an hour later, Geralt appeared with Baron Philip and a group of his men.

Now it was full of mess, like a swamp swept by a natural disaster. This group of people were completely frightened, and they even wondered if they had gone the wrong way.

So where is the huge swamp? Why is there even a puddle gone?

Stepping on the hot ground covered with a thick layer of ashes, the eyes of several people looking at Leon and Geralt changed.

However, the Baron soon had no time to care about this, and rushed to the sleeping Anna in three steps and two steps.

"My dear, what's wrong with you? Wake up, my dear!"

Several children thought he was going to hurt their grandma and surrounded him with punches and kicks, but he turned a deaf ear and only had eyes for his wife.

Li Ang explained in time: "The swamp witch cast a death curse on her. Even if she is released, her spirit will be affected and she will become crazy. Sleeping may be the best result for her."

"Okay?" the baron said excitedly: "Like a living dead, do you care about this?!"

Li Ang looked at him expressionlessly, as if asking: Are you sure you want to talk to me in this tone?

The baron suddenly succumbed and hugged his wife tightly, dejected and silent.

When he calmed down, Li Ang continued: "She has no chance of waking up. Take good care of her body. I will find a way to help you when I finish the work at hand. The premise is that you have to take good care of these little guys. They are orphans adopted by your wife.”

The baron raised his head in surprise. He wanted to ask why it couldn't work now, but when he saw Li Ang's indifferent eyes, he suppressed his words and finally muttered:

"I will."

After dealing with Anna's matter, Leon mentioned the Baron's daughter again: "Tamara is currently living near the Cowburg port and has joined a witch hunter organization called Eternal Fire. Send someone to bring her back."

The baron was confused: "Shouldn't it be you who will help me bring her back? We agreed at the beginning."

Li Ang interrupted unceremoniously: "She is your daughter, not my daughter."

The baron immediately became discouraged after hearing this: "I don't know if she is willing to come back with me."

Seeing that the situation was a bit stiff, Geralt came out to smooth things over: "You can let Anna come back because she is sick. As for whether you can keep her in the future, it depends on you."

The baron thought for a long time and reluctantly agreed to this approach.

"I will hand the dwarf over to you when we get back to Crow's Nest."

"Don't leave Willen easily, I may come back at any time." Li Ang gave the final confession, and then called Geralt to the side.

With the death of Lady in the Wood, the locals of Willen have lost their patron saint to a certain extent, and the Baron's men have become lawless soldiers. If the Baron also chooses to leave, without his restraint, Willen's future is simply unimaginable.

As for calling the witcher, that's another matter.

"I need to leave for a while, and you can just go and help the sorceress friend. We will meet up in Novigrad later."

Geralt suddenly realized that no wonder he always felt that Leon was in a hurry just now.

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, it's a family matter."

Hearing that it was a family matter, the witcher stopped asking further questions.

But Li Ang had a lot to say: "Uma, that dwarf, it's best to stay in the crow's nest and wait until I come back to deal with it."

"Also, when you go to help a friend, there are a few things you must remember."

"Keira will ask you to go to a place called the Rat Tower to lift the curse in the tower."

"The former lord of Willen was hiding there with his family, but they are all dead now. But the lord's daughter has turned into a plague banshee, so she cannot be allowed to leave the Mouse Tower under any circumstances, otherwise Carter will be released again Leona Plague.”

"You just have to act according to circumstances as to how to do it."

"After the curse is lifted, Keira will enter the Mouse Tower and look for a notebook about the plague. The purpose is to develop an antidote or vaccine and then offer it to King Radovid V of Redania in exchange for wealth and pardon. Crimes that have been committed.”

"But you must not let Keira go. The King of Redania is currently thinking about the war with Nilfgaard and doesn't care about the antidote at all. If she goes, she will be sentenced to death and impaled on a stake. Die a painful death.”

"You can persuade her to hide in Kaer Morhen temporarily. She will still be useful when dealing with the Wild Hunt in the future."

"The rest is nothing, I believe you can handle it."

There was too much information in Li Ang's words, and Geralt took a long time to digest it.

"Okay, I've written it all down. Where should we meet in Novigrad?"

"You don't need to worry about this." Li Ang joked: "As long as you don't play too much with your old lover and get too tired to get out of bed, I can find you easily."

Geralt looked slightly embarrassed and argued, "Triss and I are done."

Li Ang didn't believe it at all: "You should keep this sentence for Ye Naifa."

Geralt hurriedly changed the subject: "When are you leaving? Do you need me to see you off?"

"Now." As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot. Geralt, who had no time to react, stared at the air in front of him for several seconds, and finally scratched his chin inexplicably.

This ability to suddenly disappear seems a bit similar to Ciri.

While he was thinking about it, Baron Philip came over, his expression clearly indicating that he wanted to ask for something.

Geralt has begun to miss the time when Leon was around. Apart from anything else, everything will become easier when he is with him, let alone how to deal with ordinary people.

"Tell me, what else do you need from me?"

Great Blessing - Round Table Hall.

As soon as Li Ang came in, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere here. The originally bright light was replaced by a cold blue, countless starlights floated quietly above the head, thin white mist filled the air, and there was a chill in the air.

Loneliness and desolation surrounded him. If the moon had a smell, it must be what it smells like now.

"Bayek, Bayek! Where are you?"

After calling several times and getting no response, Li Ang admitted that he started to panic.

After searching for several minutes, he finally saw a strange pool of silver metallic liquid in the corner of the hall.

"You and I have been dependent on each other for many years. I didn't expect that you would make the first move."

Li Ang looked heartbroken and stared at the pool of liquid, refusing to move.

After an unknown amount of time, the guests seemed impatient to wait. The stars above their heads flowed slowly, and dim but unignorable light passed through the fog barrier, followed closely by a full moon comparable to the sun.

It just stopped within Li Ang's reach, as if asking:

Why haven't you come to see me yet?

Immediately afterwards, the black knife assassin Dixi appeared at the corner of the hall: "Miss Melina said, Bayek is not dead, you don't have to pretend, come to see us now, immediately, immediately."

Finally, I didn’t forget to add: “The lady’s original words.”

The artistic conception that Li Ang had finally brewed up was destroyed like this: "Okay, okay, it's not okay for me to go."

Under the gaze of the stars and the dark moon, he followed Dixi through the long corridor and came to a spacious hall. This is the area that was expanded after obtaining the ancient blood. The general style is based on the royal city of Rodel. It is full of splendor and elegance.

It was originally prepared by Li Ang for himself, but now it has been occupied by a certain piece of wood that is becoming more and more shrewd.

The stairs at the end of the hall are towering, and a huge throne stands on it.

It is carved from a single piece of obsidian. It is rough and angular. Countless curtains hang down on the side. The tall columns form sharp bevels. The deliberately designed light can lead the eyes of all guests to the throne. .

It is the only master of the entire space.

However, it is not Li Ang himself who is sitting on the throne now, but two other women.

Sitting on the right is a young girl with slightly curly and loose short chestnut hair, and her eyes are shining with a clear and bright light, like the warm sun. The rosy skin is faintly shining, and the texture looks very fresh, like water droplets lingering on the leaves of a plant, or like a slightly green peach.

Sitting on the left is a petite doll of exquisite workmanship. It has light blue skin, a graceful figure like a sculpture, and thick hair shining under a pure white witch hat. It is a beauty that has been famous throughout the world as early as the Age of Law. The face is composed of tranquility and majesty. The four slender arms were folded together, deliberately revealing the huge dark moon ring on the ring finger.

The distance between the two of them is neither far nor close, just enough to accommodate a person as big as Li Ang.

"You came."

"Come up."

The first half of the sentence was spoken by Melina, and the second half belonged to Her Royal Highness Lani, but they had one thing in common: their tone was as calm as water, and no emotion could be heard.

Li Ang really wanted to take them seriously, but he couldn't help it.

Only two wives can create a pair of eyes.

"Stop being so playful!"

"quiet!"

Li Ang quickly calmed down his expression and climbed up the stairs step by step with his head lowered.

There were twelve steps in total, and it took him several minutes to reach the top.

Lani looked up at the man in front of her whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and glanced aside calmly.

[Why have you grown taller again? ]

[Ah, hasn't he always been this tall? ]

Melina blinked and put on a very innocent expression.

The eye contact between the two could not be hidden from Li Ang, and he shamelessly squeezed between them.

"Did I tell you to sit down?" Melina yelled angrily.

"You rude person, step back quickly!" Her Royal Highness the Princess made a majestic voice.

Li Ang couldn't help but sigh: "Can we stop playing? Let me sit down for a while. I'm almost exhausted from running outside for a day."

Melina said seriously: "I'm not kidding you!"

Lani was more direct: "Kneel down!"

"This is a bit too much." Li Ang pretended to be angry.

Melina said mysteriously: "It's not like I'm asking you to kneel in vain, there must be benefits."

Lani didn't say anything, pretending to be cold.

But judging from her slightly red cheeks, her mood was definitely not calm.

It is said that the most touching behavior of a girl is the shy look when she lowers her head, but it is rare to see this in the majestic princess who should now be called the Dark Moon Law Goddess.

For this, Li Ang knelt down.

So he knelt on one knee neatly in front of Lani.

Upon seeing this, Melina immediately stood up from the throne and hid beside him wisely.

Lani also stood up slowly, but she never made any eye contact with Li Ang. She turned her pretty face to the side and said to herself:

"My King, when I perfect the law in the starry sky, I will miss you all the time."

"My King, now that everything is over, it's time for us to get together again."

"My King, even if I and my laws will abandon everything in the border area, you will always stand by my side, right?"

"My only king, are you willing to spend the thousand-year night with me following the laws of the moon?"

As she spoke, Lani stretched out her hand with the contract ring in front of her chosen king.

"Come on."

"My eternal companion."

In order to show her solemnity, the Dark Moon Goddess communicated in ancient Chinese in a difficult but elegant way throughout the whole process, and her scorching eyes finally met Li Ang's.

Li Ang reached out his hand to shake it without hesitation, but what he said was:

"I'm sorry, I can't bear to obey."
