From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 139 The Inexplicable Upgrade (4000 words)
The sorceress joked that she saw that Lan seemed to be paying attention to the dead guards, and explained:

"Villiers is an idiot, but he wants to see the corpse. And the dust that burns out after the death of the demon spirit is a good alchemy material. I heard that you refused to crusade against these demon spirits yesterday? Beg me, maybe I will I'll give you a little bit now."

Lann now knew why his demon hunting mission was suddenly completed.

Kayla may have made some money, but Lane has nothing to lose.

He didn't respond to Kayla's teasing.Normally, Lane might have had a gracious chat with Kayla Metz, but after a night of fighting, he wasn't in the mood at the moment.

After all, witchers don't fight unprepared.

And when Lan arrived at the entrance of the tomb, he suddenly felt a vibration from the contact notebook of the Griffin School. Obviously, there was a reply from Geron.

In the evening, Lann rode a black wind to the gate of the signpost village in Baiguoyuan, where there was a huge signpost.

Jielong knew the White Orchard, but he had no impression of the location of the lord's mansion. Therefore, there was no way to accurately locate the portal when opening the portal. He could only choose a place that both parties knew to open the portal.

"My lord... what are we waiting for?"

In addition to Black Wind, Lann also brought Leo.

Yes, Lann wanted to bring Leo back to the Griffin School, to see the attitude of the two masters in the school, and whether they were willing to accept this new apprentice.

Lan put his index finger on his lips to signal Leo to be quiet, and immediately there was a reaction around him.

With a "bang", the strong wind blew up a large number of fallen leaves and grass stalks, and a large area of ​​the fence was shattered by the dimension.

Lan En looked not far away, and there was a teleportation gate opened in the middle of the fence at the village gate about thirty meters away from him.

The portal is a little crooked. It seems that after a hundred years of vicissitudes, the White Orchard is no longer the White Orchard in Jielong's memory.

Fortunately, no problem.

Lan En was about to ride his horse in, but he saw Heifeng backing back again and again with extreme resistance. No matter how Lan En pulled and drove him, he would not move forward, and his four hooves were about to plow the ground.

The dark golden lion eyes met the amber cat eyes.

This guy……

Lane sighed: "Okay, then you go back and tell House, let them bring a few people here to repair these fences, after all, we made it... There is no need to completely restore and repair, reserve enough for this teleportation The distance the door opens, I will probably open it here when I come back."

Heifeng, the demon hunting horse, didn't know how much he had understood, so he hoofed away happily after Lann finished speaking.

The portal that shattered the fence expanded again, as if urging Lan to move quickly.

Lan took a deep breath, nodded, sprinted, landed, and retched.

Standard procedure.

In front of Lann, Geron's broken hair was flying in the snow.Then he waved his hand, and the portal disappeared in mid-air.

Seeing that it took a while for his accidental son to react from the dizziness, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Then he looked at the child who was supporting Lan En in a panic: "Is this the boy you mentioned in your notes? The child who gave himself as a reward in order to collect his partner?"

Lane nodded: "Yes, his name is Leo. From my destiny, I found out that he has the talent of a demon hunter, at least part of it."

Geron nodded and strode forward.

Leo seemed very restrained. From the few words he said, he could sense that the earl was speaking with respect to the person in front of him. He was obviously a big man whom he couldn't afford to offend.

Geron thought for a moment: "You want him to help me and Kelda, that's good. We can also train him in the 'decision' stage when we have nothing to do. But we won't give him grass and dream."

Geron explained: "Kelda and Mossak's research has reached a certain bottleneck. We have grasped something vaguely, but there is still a lack of an opportunity to make a breakthrough. We believe that the improvement of the witcher's mutation is achievable." , so we won’t give apprentices new potion trials before then, that would be too much of a sacrifice.”

Lann nodded and agreed. In the original book, Leo hadn't reached the final step of the dream test, and even he wasn't sure if the child could survive the complete witcher mutation in the end.

Although being able to go through the mutation trials of the previous stages is considered a super soldier, it is naturally better if there is a safer way to become stronger.

The three of them quickly returned to the castle, isolating the snow outside.

They first found a cloak for Leo, and suddenly came to the snow-covered castle from the White Orchard. The little boy was already shivering from the cold.

Lann then visited Kelda under the leadership of Geron.The old witcher had been completely immersed in the study of mutations and magic. After seeing Lann, he greeted him politely, and then politely invited him out.

"Recently, except for the regular time to clean the castle, he has been doing research at other times, and he hardly talks to me." Geron said helplessly, "With the child you brought, at least I have one more person to communicate with. "

Jielong then found another room for Leo and asked him to tidy up briefly.Then he took Lan En to the alchemy laboratory.

Looking at the goat devil mutation inducer Lann took out, Jieron took it carefully with experimental equipment, and sighed: "The goat golem is a big guy that is difficult to deal with, especially it is very resistant to the seal. Are you How did you solve it?"

Lann and Geron briefly explained the role of Yarpan's dragon slaying team and Zoltan in the battle, and Geron couldn't help but sigh:
"Dragon Slayer... Our Griffin School used to have a dragon slayer, but unfortunately..."

Jielong shook his head, and quickly drove the emotion out of his brain.He then took out other materials needed for refining the decoction, and directed Lan to help him.

The alcohol lamp was ignited, the crucible was placed on the asbestos net, and the dwarf spirits were used as the base. The sudden mutagen tissue of the goat devil began to slowly fuse with the alcohol under the action of a pile of alchemical herbs.

After a little pouring, Lan got three bottles of blue potions in glass alchemy bottles.

He tried to put this bottle of decoction into the [Inventory], and the system gave the name in due course: [Claw Decoction]

【Claw Horn Decoction】: Completely eliminate the imbalance effect, or weaken the knockdown effect to an imbalance.

This is a skill that can make [Sword Dance] more joyful.

The above is the effect of this decoction in the game. In Jielong's words:
"After drinking this decoction, your ability to control the body will be greatly enhanced, the control of muscles will be more flexible, and the adjustment of the center of gravity will be out of the scope of the human body. The stiffness in the connection of moves will no longer exist for you. After blocking the enemy's attack, it will hardly be affected by strength, allowing you to react faster."

Jie Long sighed: "This is a decoction that is very effective for swordsmen. Unfortunately, it is not very suitable for our Griffin School. I think the Cat School will like it very much. If you meet a little mist demon or a fork-tailed dragon next time, you must not use it." Let it go, the decoction made of their sudden mutagen can strengthen the damage of the sign."

Finally, Jie Long instructed: "The toxicity of the decoction is much higher than that of the potion. One bottle is equivalent to three or four bottles of ordinary potions. You must control the dose when drinking!"

Lane nodded.

At this moment, a system notification sound suddenly came from his ear:

[Character level increase +1]

Lan En's body froze like the holy sigh of a choir, and it was almost impossible for Geron beside him to notice anything strange.

what's the situation?Could refining potion also increase experience?
No, no, definitely not so hasty, this is not some advanced online game system, and it can also open up life careers.

There is no notification sound for the completion of the task, and I have not killed monsters, so there is only one source of these experiences:

[Followers]: Followers can provide 20% of their own experience and share some abilities.

Lann recalled briefly, and now he only has three followers in total, namely House, Milva and Ace.

House and Milwa are still in the White Orchard, and they are not interested in going out to do good things to the residents of the White Orchard who offended them.Lane checked their panel, everything was normal.

Then there is only one possibility: Ace.

With this in mind, Lan immediately opened Ace's current panel:

Lying... trough?

…………

There are a total of two magic academies in the Northern Kingdom, one is to accept boys, and it is located in the Ben Ade School of Magic in the Kingdom of Kaedwen.Although the teaching quality of Ban Ade School is high, Ban Ade lacks control over the male students, causing them to often lose in the competition with another Northern Kingdom magic school, causing the academy to lag behind other magic schools.

Combining the above factors, the residents near Ban Ade are rarely proud of the students here.

In comparison, Arethusa, another school that specializes in training female sorceresses, has a much better reputation.

Arethusa is located on the Isle of Thaned, and it specializes in training female sorceresses, which also makes Thaned Island a holy place for warlocks in the north.Becoming a student of the school is a great honor and means paying high tuition fees.

Breeding a sorceress is expensive, but the Academy admits girls from almost every corner of the world, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly.The college's assessment of students is also extremely strict. Once they step into the college, those apprentices can only leave here after they graduate from school.

This also makes the quality of Arethusa's students extremely high, and their alumni are very respected. Almost all the royal advisor female sorceresses in the Northern Kingdom today are trained by Arethusa.

Because of Arethusa's good reputation, many warlocks in the south will send their children here to study here. Even though they have a long heritage in magic skills, they are lacking in many ladies and court etiquette , and these can be fully educated at Arethusa.

In addition, the rich alumni resources are also valued by Southern Warlock.

On Shaned Island, apart from the Arethusa Girls School of Magic, there are also a large number of famous warlocks who have purchased real estate and set up laboratories here.These warlocks are male and female.

Shaned Island was built by the elves using magic, which is why a unique mage domain was formed here, and a large number of spellcasters gathered here.The headquarters of the Brotherhood of Warlocks is also set up here, and the Garstang Palace on the island is also the only location for the Masters Conference.

As a member of the Wizarding Society, Wigfortz not only has a mansion arranged by the Brotherhood on the island, but also has an additional laboratory for himself.

At this moment, he was looking at the warlock apprentice who was having a good conversation with a female student of Aretuza on the outskirts of Aretuza.

Ace Eloman Oman, a Cintra native, lion's servant, and now a magic apprentice.

Not long ago, Triss brought him back from Brokiron in Cintra, claiming to have discovered his magical gifts.

Vigfortez became famous in the process of resisting Nilfgaard, and even the lions in Sintra heard of his name, so he asked Triss, who had a good relationship, to send Ace to Learned magic under Wigfortz.

For many warlocks who don't know the inside story, this is another manifestation of Vigfortez's prestige and strength. At the same time, they are also happy that Sintra, which rejects magic, has finally begun to accept the warlock group, and they rejoice.

Vigfortz has many secret laboratories, and it is naturally impossible to take Ace to those laboratories; and because he is busy with his own affairs, he placed Ace on Shaned Island, and his female assistant Lydia van Braidwater to teach.

Triss also comes to visit Ace from time to time, paying attention to his learning of magic.

Wigfortz was paying attention to Ace, and Lydia didn't know when she appeared beside Wigfortz, noticing the sight of the male warlock, she took the initiative to explain:
"He's been doing this ever since he got permission to go to Arethusa to find Triss."

Wigfortz repeated: "Always?"

Lydia nodded: "He seems to be willing to help others, which is very similar to the characteristics of Lannister in our intelligence."

Vigfortz smiled disdainfully: "Is he happy to help others, or is he happy to help female students? How can magic learning improve by spending energy on such things? Lannister's vision is not How about it."

Lydia looked towards Arethusa's door, and the female apprentice who communicated with Ace was bowing slightly towards him, as if expressing her gratitude, smiling like a flower.

And Ace was also saying something, and responded politely, but the distance was too far away, so he couldn't hear clearly.

Lydia took the initiative to explain: "His learning progress is actually good, and his magic power has been growing."

Wigfortz shook his head: "That's it, you continue to teach him and keep his level at a level. His current habits are quite good. Find a way to turn him into our person. In the future Then put him in Cintra."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the female assistant's response, Vigfortz stepped back a few steps to reach a platform, and disappeared from Lydia's sight with a wave of his hands.

From the beginning to the end, his gaze never focused on Lydia for a moment.
