Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 98 The Person Who Knows Dandelion Best
The flying galley flew higher and higher, higher than the side of the ship, higher than the mast, and passed over the heads of the people; Milva looked up and could see the shells and algae parasitic on the bottom of the other side's ship.

The originally uniform and impressive horns on the galleys now turned into panicked screams, so chaotic that the content was completely inaudible.

The water drops from the bottom of the boat fell down, hitting the sails and planks, and also splashing everyone's heads and faces. When the female archer ducked her head to avoid it, she was surprised to find that the earl's magic wand was pointing at the opposite galley.

The boat drew an arc in the air, and the magic wand drew an arc with it.

No, that's not right, it should be the other way around; the flying galley is entirely the result of magic - a sudden realization rose in the archer's heart.

Soon, Lin You's actions confirmed Milva's guess. When the hull of the galley completely passed over their heads and came to the other side of the ship, the short hand holding the gloomy wood wand suddenly swung down with force.

The movement trajectory of the paddle boat instantly changed from an arc to a straight line, and it shot straight down towards the river surface.

Perhaps it was the sudden feeling of weightlessness that caused panic, and there was another burst of screams from the paddle boat, which was then drowned out by the terrible sound of the hull breaking.

The wide hull hitting the water sideways is actually no better than hitting the rocks.

First there was a loud "boom" from the bottom of the boat, and the two rows of long oars and the stern rudder shattered. Then there was a series of "crackling" sounds of wood bursting from the bottom of the boat to the upper deck, and countless long and short pieces of wood shot up into the sky and fell all over the river like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Almost immediately after it was hit, the galley began to leak and sink. The rowers in the lower cabin rolled and crawled out.

Lin You counted the heads from a distance and found that there were about twenty to thirty people squeezed on the deck, at a loss. Many of them were shouting and cursing at the slowly sailing sailboat, but there was nothing they could do.

Several people picked up bows and arrows, but they were dizzy. Some couldn't find the arrows, and some couldn't stand steadily and staggered. They were soon called out by Milva.

Lin You lowered his wand and shifted his attention to the river and the shore, guarding against a third attack, but everything was peaceful until they reached the shore.

Whether on the river or on the shore, everyone's eyes were focused on the gradually sinking paddle boat, and few people noticed the group of people who hurriedly landed and left.

The Witcher world is not short of powerful and mysterious magic, and it is not impossible to kill thousands of people with a forbidden spell; but in terms of the diversity and convenience of magic, it is far inferior to the Harry Potter world.

The scene of the big ship flying in the sky just now was nothing more than a combination of "floating spell", "moving spell" and "falling to the ground with a sound" spells. At most, Lin You's magic power was stronger than others, so the effect was more shocking.

However, the entire spell-casting process was almost unnoticed by anyone, including Milva who was on the same boat and only saw it by chance. Dandelion was simply at a loss throughout the whole process.

The journey after landing was more difficult than before. There was almost no waterway to cross Metinha and head south. Fortunately, Earl Goff had a rich family and some hard currency such as gold. He was too lazy to even bargain when buying horses and carriages at the horse market.

Looking at the gold bricks that were constantly being taken out of his pocket, Dandelion was full of admiration, but he was not coveting or envying Lin You's wealth, but looking for an opportunity to show off his knowledge;
"Your pocket must be a product of Aretuza College. I know those sorceresses will make a space pocket for sale. It looks like a small backpack, but it can actually hold a double bed."

"Why do you use double beds as the unit of measurement?" Lin You couldn't help but complain.

Mr. Poet scratched his head. "Yes, why did I blurt it out? It must be because I have been sleeping outdoors for too long. I began to miss the large pine bed with the fragrance of pine wood and the smell of sunshine on the soft bedding."

"Come on, Dandelion; I know your reputation. When you think of 'bed', there must be one or even several young ladies on the bed." The writer bluntly exposed the poet's true face and drove him to get on the horse and set off. As for Lin You, he naturally had the privilege of lying in a carriage covered with soft bedding, and the job of driving was given to Ms. Milva.

As for Mr. O'Dimm? He didn't seem to mind sitting on the luggage rack at the back of the car. He was one of the rare demons who could go with the flow.

After driving for half a day, the road gradually became less populated. At this time, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds were heard on the road coming from afar. Seven or eight slow horses caught up with the slow carriage and blocked its way.

Milva had already tightened the reins and held the bow in her hand.

Dandelion reacted quickly and dismounted and hid beside the carriage. He had already realized that the young earl was the one who could best protect his safety in the entire team. In case of an emergency, the closer to the earl, the better.

Lin Youda stuck his head out of the carriage and saw that the people blocking the road were a group of warriors carrying swords and knives. The one leading them was dressed in black. Although her hair was only short covering her ears, her eyebrows and eyes were charming and her facial features were delicate. At first glance, you could tell that she was a young and beautiful woman.

"Who are you?" Lin You asked loudly, leaning against the car window.

The woman replied, "The same people who attacked you earlier on the river."

"Oh..." Such a straightforward answer made Lin You slightly stunned, and then he felt that he should also be frank, "Why didn't he drown?"

"..." The woman couldn't help but take a deep breath, "I have to thank my loyal subordinates."

"So, you deliberately chased after them to avenge your subordinates? Then you shouldn't show up so openly." Lin You disagreed, but in fact he had already held the magic wand in his hand ready to respond at any time, but his hands were hidden under the car window so that no one could see them.

“No. Although I don’t know how you did it, my men and I believe that seeking revenge on a sorcerer who can easily destroy a large ship is a foolish thing to do. I don’t want our brothers to shed more blood.”

"Then why did you catch up with me?" Lin You was very interested and finally looked at the woman opposite him seriously; she was about thirty years old, and her makeup, clothes, speech and behavior all revealed a sense of shrewdness and competence.

More importantly, this woman seemed to have an innate confidence that was not inferior to any man. The warriors behind her were all strong men with agile skills, but they seemed to take it for granted to follow her footsteps and protect her.

"I just don't want to accept this, and I sincerely want to see what kind of person is the one who dares to openly slander the emperor on Nilfgaardian soil."

Lin You looked innocent and tilted his head towards the poet, saying, "Please don't misunderstand me. Those beautiful poems are all masterpieces of Mr. Dandelion. He is the most outstanding bard in the north and a guest of many kings."

"Him?" The woman smiled contemptuously. "A gigolo who can only climb into a lady's bed can't do such a big thing."

Dandelion almost burst into tears: "Madam, you are absolutely right! It turns out that only beautiful women are my soulmates..."
