From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 111 The Dryad Knocks on the Door in the Middle of the Night...Knock on the Window

"Button", at this moment, the sound of knocking on the window suddenly sounded, startling Lan En who was thinking.

Familiar midnight, familiar knocking on the window.Lan went to the window and opened it, revealing a strange green-skinned figure.

"Good evening, Corianm."

Lan En was confused, what is Corianm?He didn't know the dryad in front of him either.

The dryad on the opposite side didn't know Lann well either, so she had no intention of entering the house, so she said, "I'm here to convey Ms. Esna's will, Kerianm—Ms. Esna wants to see you .”

Lan tried to make an invitation gesture to let the other party enter the house, but the dryad opposite him didn't move, so he didn't insist anymore.

"Who is talking to me? Who is 'Coriam'? According to human etiquette, this is not a gesture of conversation. I thought the relationship between Brokiron Town and your daughter of the forest has been eased, otherwise Ai Sina will not send a messenger I don't know in the middle of the night to "convey will" to me in this way."

The dryad outside the door hesitated for a moment, and seemed to feel that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he explained: "I am Saoirsa, and 'Coriam' means 'lion' in the ancient language. I heard Your people call you that, thinking it's a respectful title."

Lan En nodded and accepted the explanation: "Look, this is the basis for us to continue talking... Speaking of how you sneaked in, I remember that the town is under martial law."

Facing the blind spot that Lan found, Sailsa replied: "Facing the forest, there are several escape routes that only the forest daughter and the townspeople know about, and there are almost no defenses there."

Lan En nodded without changing his face, but felt that it was a hidden danger in his heart.Trust the tree spirit, but you can't leave a completely undefended passageway.

"Okay, you said Ms. Eisner wanted to see me, so when..."

Lan En just finished speaking halfway, when suddenly there was a knock on the door:
"Dong dong dong."

Before Lann could turn around, Saoirsa closed the window with lightning speed.

How can a messenger act like an assassin? Is our current relationship really as harmonious as Luca described?

Lan En looked suspicious and shouted, "Come in."

House pushed the door open, and the attendant's eyes were red. He first bowed to Lann, and then stood there uneasy.

Lan En gave him a strange look. This guy's state is very strange. It doesn't look like something serious happened. Is this a personal accident?
He felt that there was still movement of Saoirsa outside the window at this moment, and the dryad did not go far.He was just about to hint to House not to say anything confidential, and we will discuss it tomorrow when he saw the attendant suddenly kneel down with a thud, and then burst into tears.

Lan's face twitched, and he sat back on the chair, quietly waiting for the attendant to dry up his tears.

Saoirsa, who was listening outside the window, looked dazed. What is the lord of Brokilon Town... doing?
After waiting for about ten breaths, House stopped crying. He sincerely apologized to Lane: "It's my fault for keeping you waiting, Lord Earl."

Lan En frowned and said: "You knelt when you came in, presumably you caused trouble. And crying is the most useless action when facing trouble. I hope what you said next is worth the wait I just had to wait."

House lowered his head and explained: "I definitely don't dare to cause trouble for you at this time. The pain just now is because the sadness in my heart is uncontrollable. Kneeling is only because of the next words, I want to ask you— —”

House leaned down, but his voice was high: "I want to ask you to give me the 'lion head silver sword'!"

Lan raised his eyebrows, waiting for House to continue.

House saw that the earl did not refute, and there was even encouragement in his eyes, and his speech became fluent: "Mr. earl, I don't want to be under Mr. Enns anymore-of course, Mr. Enns is very knowledgeable and treats me well. Very good—but I want to be like Ace and continue to protect you with my sword!"

Lan thought for a while, and said, "But you have talent in this area, and you should also know that your current path will be easier, and the role you can play in the future may be even stronger than Ace."

House lowered his head again: "I dare not disobey the path you arranged."

Lan En looked at House who didn't dare to refute himself, and suddenly smiled and said: "Go on, you must have other reasons. I allow you to finish it."

House was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Sward is gone..."

Lan was silent.

House continued: "At his last moment, he asked us to protect the princess and leave, but he stayed. But I have been blaming him, repelling him, and watching him in my heart for the past year. Holding on to the sword alone in pain, but forgetting the friendship we used to fight together."

"He died generously, and I knew that Ace was already ready to die, but I was timid at that moment. I had to run away with the princess in my arms, but I was timid in my heart. I had such a shrinking heart back then!"

House said loudly: "Sward is gone, but I can't just treat him as gone. His will needs to be inherited. I miss the days when the three of us followed you with swords together, but now you are only surrounded by It's not enough to have an Ace, you also need a sword!"

"It's enough for Ens, Hardy, and the mayor of Brokilon to handle internal affairs. I want to continue to be by your side, and I swear that I will follow your footsteps to the death and defend your glory with my life!"

The words of the stable boy's son were resounding.

Lan sighed and stood up.With a slight movement in his hand, the lion's head silver sword started.

"Get up, House, and get down on one knee."

There are too many meanings in this sentence, and House suddenly panicked: "No... Lord Earl, I am not enough..."

Lann placed the long sword on House's right shoulder: "Give me this sword after you have made enough meritorious deeds, and then it will move from your right shoulder to your left shoulder. And now , relax your body and mind, I will give you the strength of a lion, and you will be able to gain strength from compassion and helping others, punishing rape and eliminating evil."

Hearing Lan's words, House's pupils suddenly dilated.

One skill point is consumed to open a blank follower panel, and the experience value then jumps slightly by single digits:
[Follower: Haus Leinwitcher
Sex: Male
Race: human

Rating: 1
Talent: none
Experience Points: 0/1000
Health: 160/160

After the attribute bar that represented the success of the contract follower appeared, the system sent a series of prompts:
[Shared Follower Talent Failed]

【Sharing follower skills】

[Acquired Skill: Calm Mind]

[Matching Demon Hunter Skill: Anger Control]

[Anger Control]: If the current mana is too low, you can use adrenaline to cast magic skills.

"It's yours, House. You're my sword from now on."

House raised his hands above his head, held the lion head silver sword, and begged: "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Earl. Please allow me to name this sword 'Sward'."

Lan En chuckled and said, "This is your freedom now."

Holding the newly acquired saber in his arms, House thanked Lann again and then stepped away, and the room became silent again.

"Butt button", the sound of knocking on the window sounded again, the wooden window was pushed open, and Saoirsa's complicated face appeared in the moonlight.

"Can I come in?"

Lane made a "please" gesture.

"I've been inviting you in all the time, after all, sitting by the window is really not the way to talk. Ellie before was not as reserved as you-I'm also asking by the way, where is Ellie?"

Saoirsa cautiously did not walk around the house, but just stood there and looked at the furnishings inside, and answered irrelevantly: "That is a powerful warrior."

The Dryad pointed to the door, signaling House who had gone away.

Lan En was naturally happy to hear someone praise his subordinates, but he still said modestly: "You haven't seen him, and you haven't fought against him."

"Soldiers don't look at their looks, and sometimes they don't even look at their swords." Saoirse's eyes were complicated. "He talks to you as if we were talking to Ms. Eisner. You are very lucky, Coream."

Lann was very helpful. Although he was not very used to the dryad calling him "Coriam", he still responded and continued the conversation:

"Where were we talking?"

"You asked me when Ms. Eisner would like to see you."

Lan En put his hands together: "Yes, so when is it?"

Saoirse replied, "At your convenience."

The empathy is unexpected.

Lan En thought for a while and said: "It may take two or three days to wait. I just came back here, and there are still many things to deal with. During this time, you can stay with me temporarily. There are still many vacant rooms. "

Saoirsa nodded, Lane's house is indeed quite big.

Two days later, Lan En basically reassembled the troops in the territory. The soldiers of the troops stayed where they were after he left the field to comfort and appease him, and the refugees were properly resettled.

Lane also briefly took stock of his current status during this period:
[Name: Lane Lannister Ray Allen

Sex: Male
Race: Demon Hunter
Rating: 20
Talents: Ancient Blood (Partially Awakened), Magic Aura, Marksman
Experience Points: 16/1500
Health: 2070/2070
Mana: 2600/2600
Item column: slightly

Follower Column: Black Wind, Ace, House, Milva
Mission: None]

Lane's level has risen to level 20. This is after returning to Sintra to kill enemies one level up, and then completed the series of missions of [City Defense Iron Guard] and completed a double jump. When I got up, I raised it to three levels in one breath.

Compared with the previous attributes, the upgrade has changed from adding 10 points of life per level to 100 points of life, and mana is increasing by 200 points per level.Lane estimated that the increase in mana was affected by the 100% increase in [Magic Tide]. The normal witcher system should also increase 100 mana when leveling up, which is the same as life.

The three skill points obtained are not skills, but contracted three followers, respectively obtained the talent of [Magic Archer] that enhances archery skills, the talent of [Magic Aura] that enhances the range and accuracy of magic strikes, and the general class. The skill [anger control].

From this, it can be concluded that the talent of [Follower] is directly copied, and the skills will be matched with the skills of the demon hunter system.

After obtaining the [Sharp Archer], Lan En also found a craftsman in the town to equip him with a crossbow first, and it would take time to customize it for better quality ones.This allowed him to get rid of the dilemma of throwing the sword as a hand ax to a certain extent.

The above is what Lann has gained recently.

Now in front of Lan was the Brokilon Forest, and the dryad Saoirsa had already been waiting by the side of the road, surrounded by a few attendants who were worried that she would enter the forest alone.

"Let's go, go to Dun Canal!"
