From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 120 I came from Sintra, the western land, and went to the east to talk with the kings
The meeting will be held three months later, at the junction of the four northern kingdoms, in Fort Haji in Aedirn.

If Lann remembers correctly, a few years later—I can’t remember the exact years—probably before the coup on Shaned Island, several major powers will hold a secret meeting in this Haji Fortress to discuss letting Ciri Which king or prince to marry to get Cintra to stabilize the situation, rebuild the gate to the north, and resist Nilfgaard.

In the end, their topic became so skewed that Nilfgaard must not be allowed to get Ciri, and in the end they even wanted to kill Ciri.

Unexpectedly, now they would hold the Northern Kingdom Conference in Haji Fortress in advance, and it was an open meeting, not a secret meeting, and they even invited Sintra to attend.

Could it be because of their butterfly effect that they felt that Sintra could still be rescued?
Lane looked at the participating countries again.Well, apart from the addition of my own Sintra, only the United Kingdom of Leiria-Livia, which is similar in geographical location to Sintra, plus the four northern kingdoms: Temeria, Redani Ya, Kaedwen, Aedirn.

As for the other small northern countries, most of them are affiliated countries of the Four Great Powers, they should be represented by the Four Great Powers, and their opinions are not important.

Seeing that Lann was silent after reading the letter, Mossack waited patiently even though he had hundreds of suggestions in his mind.

Although he is Lan's elder, the relationship between the two has become more complicated now. After Ciri left, Lan, as a royal family, has become the actual person in power.

Although Cintra's first heir is still undisputedly Ciri, but now when Mossak is discussing business matters with Lane, he has repositioned himself as a royal advisor.

He would suggest and advise, but all of these had to wait for Lane to give his ideas first, and in the end, Lane could only make the decision.

After a long time, Lan En finally digested the information, and he sighed, "It looks like we have to go. But looking at their letters, they seem to want to invite Ciri more?"

Mossack nodded, and finally began to speak, analyzing: "Cintra's battle report has been sent to the forces that pay attention to the northern border, and Ciri's status as the first heir of Cintra is the most sensitive. You She has been protected so well, which may give other countries in the North an idea."

Lan frowned: "You mean they want to harm Ciri?"

Mossak shook his head: "I'm not worried about Ciri's safety. As long as the northern kingdoms want Cintra to continue to resist Nilfgaard, they absolutely don't want anything to happen to Ciri. That's why they Wanted to make sure Ciri was in their sights."

"Become a puppet to control Sintra? And they want to supervise Ciri, do they have the ability to protect Ciri? They don't know anything, but they are always worried that they will slow down and want everything." Lane He sneered, "It's not time for Shirley's whereabouts to be revealed, and she doesn't have the ability to protect herself."

Mossack has a different opinion: "They really don't necessarily want to turn Ciri into a puppet. Some kings in the north may have much smaller ambitions than you think, and they may hope that Ciri Be the next Calanthor so they can rest easy without worrying about Nilfgaard and continue their lives as corrupt monarchs.

But you're right to be worried, Ciri hasn't arrived yet. "

If Ciri doesn't appear, Lane is the only one who is qualified to speak in Sintra, and he must arrive at Haji Fortress in Aedirn in three months.

For Lane, this is actually an opportunity.The recovery of Sintra needs the support of other kingdoms in the north. Even if they don't provide real help in terms of military strength or supplies, they can solve Lan's urgent needs just by holding back Nilfgaard's large army.

Therefore, Lann must attend this Northern Conference. Not only that, but he also needs to win as many allies in the Northern Territory as possible and get as much support as possible.

From waiting for the opportunity in the original plan, it changed to take the initiative to attack.

And the moment Lan En made up his mind to put down the letter, the system prompt sounded——

[Discovery Mission - Listen to My Roar Part [-]]:
[The lion of Cintra and the black sun have been fighting for a long time, the eyes of the northern countries are staring at each other, and countless hands and eyes are condensed here.And you, the lion of Cintra, now is the time to show your fangs and claws, let all the forces that try to reach out to Cintra taste blood and tears, and let the roar of the lion resound through the north again. 】

Lan raised his eyebrows, a new main mission.It's easy to guess the context of this main line mission, just push it forward according to the restoration of Sintra, but I don't know how many links this series of missions have, and how much benefit it can bring to me.

Now that Lann has been decided to go to Haji Fortress, the base camp needs a person with sufficient prestige to guard it. Currently, only Mossak can take on this important task.The old druid is different from the royal consultant warlocks who are regarded as outsiders in other countries. The old druid has always been his own in the eyes of the Sintra people.

There is enough prestige, and the reputation is prominent.Especially in the place where the refugees gathered recently, he didn't care about the identity of the spellcaster to get close to, comfort the refugees, and give them a helping hand, which made him feel a lot of gratitude.

Looking at Mossak, it is not difficult to understand why druids can gain the respect and support of Skelly.

Making a decision secretly in his heart, Lann took the map and began to study how far he would have to go to reach the Haji Fortress in Aedirn.

If the Northern Territory is divided into four parts according to the four major kingdoms, and viewed from the upper left, upper right, lower right, and lower left in a clockwise order, they are Redania, Kaedwen, Aedirn, and Temeria.

And Sintra is under Temeria, in the lower left corner, which means that Lane will have to cross Temeria if he wants to go to Aedirn.

And since Temeria and Aedirn are separated by the Mahakam Mountains where dwarves and goblins live, Lann wants to go to Aedirn and has to take a small detour from Redania, which may be the way to the north. Novigrad in the largest free port city;

In addition, it is also possible to pass through Tritog, the capital of Redania, and Tritog has the largest school city in the north - Niubao.

Lan En sighed in his heart: This will indeed be a long and wonderful journey, Master Mirror is right.

"Actually, I can send you there directly through the portal." Mossack said to Lann very understandingly.

Lan En swallowed, and speculated dryly: "Other kings wouldn't choose this way, otherwise, why did they reserve three months before holding the meeting?"

Mossak actually nodded, and he affirmed: "The kings are all wary of warlocks, so they will not choose to use the portal unless they have to, and they themselves enjoy the process of going out on a tour."

This is the first time Lane heard this kind of statement: "I just guessed casually... So these three months are really reserved for the farthest me?"

Mossak affirmed: "There is also Leiria and Queen Mivi of the United Kingdom of Livia. They are also the front line against Nilfgaard. The situation is very similar to us."

Lan En said while thinking: "In other words, this long journey is also an opportunity. I can visit the kings of Temeria and Redania along the way and win their support."

Mossak added: "This is the best way, you first try to win the support of Temeria and Redania before the talks on the way. And Queen Meeve of Livia is our natural Allies, Demawi III of Aedirn is brutal but full of insight, you can talk to them in detail after you get near Haji Fortress."

Between the words, the two have simply formulated a contact plan for four of the five countries participating in the meeting.

Lann asked strangely, "What about the king of Kaedwen?"

Lane really can't remember the personalities of these non-main characters.

"He's aggressive and irritable, so he acts like an idiot most of the time," Mossak said deadpan.

Understood, there is probably some grievance between these two people.

After confirming that he would definitely pass through Redania, Lan looked at the mirror on the table, and after thinking twice, he still held him in his arms.

The system beep sounds again:
[Discovery Mission - Heart of Stone Part [-]]:
[This is not your first contact with the devil, and many things that happened around you are not coincidences when you think about it now.Your promise to meet again in Novigrad may be the beginning of a great adventure.For the foreseeable future, this adventure will be filled with joy, but also with deadly danger. 】

Since then, my next itinerary has been completely determined.

Lan En's eyes turned to the [Griffon School Contact Notes] on the desk. Now that the atmosphere has been exaggerated here, some plans have to be changed.

…………

Kyle Siren, the elf castle in the snowstorm, the base camp of the Griffin School.

After a period of cleaning, the part of the main body of the castle that is used for daily life has been cleaned up. Although it is no longer as gorgeous as before, the traces of years and war damage make it look more simple and beautiful.

In the hall, a few pieces of dry wood were thrown into the fireplace. With the flash of the fire in Geron's palm, heat waves poured into the castle from the fireplace.

A witcher with white beard and hair but still strong in stature brought over a pot of soup, and the two of them sat by the fireplace and began to enjoy rest and food comfortably.

After a while, Jieron took a long breath and sighed: "Actually, after seeing the tragic situation of Kyle Siren that day, I never thought that I could be like now, roasting the fireplace and drinking with my former companions." Soup. Thanks, Kelda."

The griffin witcher sitting before him was Keldar, the sole survivor of the avalanche.

Kelda was originally the teacher who taught monster knowledge in Kael Siren. He is humble, knowledgeable and always eager to learn. He is more like a scholar than a warrior wielding swords.

Unlike what Jielong remembered, when he left, the witcher teacher in front of him still had thick long brown hair.Now that hair was as white as the snow outside and as dry as dry grass.

Even when Geron saw him for the first time, the stagnation in the person in front of him was like rotten wood in a swamp.

Fortunately, after Geron's observation, during the process of the two partners constantly tidying up the Kyle Siren these days, the old witcher worked harder and became more energetic, and his whole body was rejuvenated.

Maybe it's because life has renewed hope.
