Squeak...

After glancing at the guard who closed the door, Keira and Triss walked out of the king's royal suite, walking side by side, silent all the way.

It wasn't until she left the garden and came to a luxurious office dedicated to the king's advisors and closed the door that Triss, who had been hesitant to speak, couldn't help but speak:

"Keira, we..."

"Wait a moment!"

With a wave of his hand, an air magic was released in the room. After isolating the sound, Keira nodded to Triss and said:

"You can talk now."

Not paying attention to Keira's caution, Triss reached out and touched the red hair from her forehead, then sat on a seat and asked slightly hesitantly:

"Are you really sure that someone plans to betray the Warlock Brotherhood and join Nilfgaard's camp?"

"I'm sure! Therefore, we must convene a meeting of mages as soon as possible to find out these traitors hidden among us who are trying to abandon the principles of the mages and commit themselves to the secular kingship!"

After a pause, looking at Triss' thoughtful expression, Keira couldn't help but add:

"Philippa also agreed to the plan."

Upon hearing the name "Philippa", Triss frowned slightly and involuntarily relaxed a little:

"That's it...when will the meeting be held?"

"It's not clear yet, but Philippa has already sent an invitation to the members of the Warlock Brotherhood, and the Warlocks should gather soon."

"Will this meeting still be held on Thanede Island?"

"Yes, as long as the magic barrier on the island remains open, those traitors will have no chance even if they want to use teleportation spells to escape!"

Kayla's tone was full of determination and confidence.

Shrugging, Triss stood up and said, "Okay, I hope you are right... I still have some things to do, so let's meet on Xenide Island?"

"Okay, be careful."

"Huh? I will."

Keira and Triss have been serving Foltest together for several years. They are both female sorcerers. They have many topics in common. Their relationship has always been very good...

After seeing off Triss who left first, Keira heard the guard outside the door say this as soon as she arrived at her alchemy laboratory:

"Dear Madam? That man sent the last batch of materials."

"Huh? Put your things outside."

After saying that, Keira seemed to have remembered something, and then asked through the door:

"Right? How about the thing I asked you to do?"

"Following your instructions, we monitored him closely. He stayed at the Asbestos Light Hotel. In the past few nights, he would go to various pubs in the Trade District and the Temple District, and after drinking two glasses of rye beer

? Will return to the hotel."

"Did he behave strangely or meet anyone?"

"Nothing found yet."

After listening to the guard’s report? Keira blinked and nodded imperceptibly:

"Very good? You go down."

"As commanded."

Listening to the footsteps disappearing, Keira opened the door.

Seeing the bottles and jars placed on a tray? The sorceress couldn't help but curl up her lips. She murmured:

"I really didn't see the wrong person..."

...

In just five days? Lu Qi completed Keira's commission and delivered twenty water ghost brains and five tubes of water ghost blood to the guards in the inner city.

Although the commission was completed quickly, he still encountered a crisis.

But it's not a life-threatening crisis, it's a financial crisis...

Sitting in the corner of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Lu Qi was eating honey waffles and kumiss, his brows furrowed as he seemed to be thinking about something.

At this moment, he felt like a worker who was about to go home to celebrate the New Year, but his boss delayed his wages. He was very unhappy.

You must know that Vizima is the capital of the Kingdom of Temeria. Whether it is the price of hotel accommodation or the price of repairing weapons, it is almost the most expensive in the entire kingdom.

In just a few days, the expenses such as accommodation and meals, buying feed to feed the horses, visiting pubs, treating others to drinks, collecting intelligence, etc., made his money bag bottom out quickly.

If Keira doesn't pay the remaining commission balance, he may have problems with accommodation and food.

Moreover, the water ghosts in the underground waterways all hid as if they had received the order.

Lu Qi, who realized something was wrong, was afraid of provoking higher-level monsters and did not dare to walk around with a torch like before.

This made his plan to kill water ghosts and sell some materials fail before it even started.

That's why he looks so troubled.

"Damn it, isn't the sorceress very rich? Why don't you want to blackmail me for the commission fee?"

Just as Lu Qi was complaining about Keira in his heart, he suddenly picked up a piece of waffle with a fork, put it into his mouth, and chewed it fiercely, a deep voice sounded from beside him:

"Excuse me, is this Sir Alex?"

Looking up, what caught his eye was a soldier wearing blue chain mail with the Temerian white lily emblem on the armor.

"It's me, who are you?"

"I came here to invite you on the order of Lord Metz. Lord Metz is waiting for you in the mansion."

Hearing this, Lu Qi's heart moved. He immediately put down his fork, took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and then stood up:

"Okay then, lead the way!"

He did not bring any weapons, but just followed the soldiers directly to a red brick mansion located deep in the trading area.

"We're here, you can just go in by yourself."

Seeing the soldiers turning around and guarding the house without saying a word, Lu Qi blinked and pushed open the door.

Walking into the mansion and arriving at a rather luxurious hall, Lu Qi saw Keira wearing a V-neck, low-cut floral dress, sitting at a round table, holding a glass with wine in her hand.

.

With a gentle shake of the wrist, the wine in the glass seemed to exude the alluring aroma of roses.

"You're here, would you like something to drink?"

"Thank you, but no need."

"All right..."

After taking a sip of wine, Keira casually waved her hand, and a money bag placed on the round table flew up and shot towards Lu Qi.

There was a "pop" and the next second after reaching out to pick up the purse, she heard Kayla say:

"This is the rest of the bounty."

Hearing this, Lu Qi weighed the money bag and found that it was heavier than the last deposit, so he casually put it under his cloak.

Seeing this, Keira raised the corner of her mouth and suddenly said: "I have another commission here, are you interested?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Keira's charming and beautiful face:

"Don't you really think I'm some kind of witcher?"
