From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 153 This is a trap

From the poet's expression just now, it can be seen that he is thinking about it now, and Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, forcibly interrupting the other party's train of thought.

Dandelion is flourishing poetically, but after being reminded by Lane, he also knows that business is still important.

"Reens did come to Niubao. A few days ago, I heard an old liar who sold fake drugs nearby mentioned him. I can take you to find him."

…………

Lane actually had an impression of Liens. He remembered that the other party was a dropout from the Ben Ade Academy of Magic. His magic was so bad that he couldn't even open the portal.

But Liens also has good skills. Combined with those low-level attack spells, he also has good fighting ability.

His short life was also quite colorful: Riens was expelled from the magic school for stealing, and then joined Kaedwen's intelligence department when Kaedwen was specialized in accepting magic students; He was imprisoned because of debts during intelligence, and was later released on bail by Wigfortz and became Wigfortez's follower; in the end he would become a spy for Nilfgaard, a multiple spy.

In the original book, he was ordered to find Ciri and track down Geralt, but that should be a few years later.Now Geralt and Ciri are still in Kaer Morhen, so they are targeting themselves?

How dare he? Geralt, as a traditional demon hunter, is used to single-handedly. Is there more than 40 soldiers behind me, the lion of Cintra, just kidding you?
Not to mention a crappy sorcerer who dropped out of school, if it was an encounter, some royal advisor warlocks from small countries would be sacked by this team of cavalry without their own hands!
At this moment, Lan has been brought by Dandelion to the gate of what he called "the liar who sells counterfeit medicine". The street has already started to drizzle, making the street even more muddy.

Lann exchanged back the improved armor of the Griffin School, and the soldiers brought out all the soldiers except for a few guards.

It's not just that the lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, it also needs enough people to suppress battles such as search and siege.

It's just that Lann must make a quick decision and pull the team back in a short time, otherwise Vizmir II will know that he has such a large team secretly operating in his place, and I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable.

Lan wiped the rain off his face, and looked at the building in front of him: "This is not a 'house', it is simply a 'fortress'. Look, there is still a city wall, the king allows such things to appear in the castle Inside? It’s like a city within a city.”

Dandelion didn't care: "This is a free bull castle. The king's order is to downgrade two levels after coming here. And this is a pier. There are always villains, thugs and liars nearby, but everyone has always tacitly not shot at students That's all."

Lan only felt that the good first impression that Niubao had given him was constantly shrinking downwards.

A group of people sneaked in under the darkness of night, and the silver-gray armored Sintra soldiers also put on a cloak to better blend themselves into the moonlight.

The tavern on the opposite side of the canal cast a strip of light across the river, and the singing, laughter, and shouts echoed around.Three crew members came running ashore, two of them arguing, shoving, repeating the same obscenity over and over without feeling bored.

On the other side of the canal, a group of people had already reached Dandelion's designated location. Under Lane's gesture, the poet tapped lightly on the iron sheet inlaid on the wooden door a few times.

"Damn it, who is bothering me at this late hour?" A voice came from inside the room, "Idiot, scum, trash, get lost as far as you can! Get lost, get lost now! I've been framed Nice crossbow! Who wants extra arrows in their ass?"

Dandelion changed his voice. At this moment, he looked like a handsome uncle who was almost 40 years old, but his voice became a teenager:
"Master Melman! It's me, Levi, I brought the medicine out, and I want to make a living here!"

Dandelion has been in Niubao for many years, so he naturally knows some tricks here.In addition to the children from rich families, there are also a large number of students who are not so well-off in the college, and they will try their best to make extra money for themselves.For example, Dandelion used to go to entertainment venues to sing for work and study. This is one of the important reasons why he can enjoy entertainment services without spending money. He doesn't have this ability in places other than Niubao.

And now the "Melman" master in the house is the way of "work-study" for medical students.Many students would sell the medicines they prepared to Melman as counterfeit medicines, or simply steal the real medicines in the college and sell them as counterfeit medicines.After all, the money that goes into your own pocket is real money, and what they sell is also something that saves lives.

Dandelion gestured to Lann, indicating that he would be able to swindle open this solid iron door soon.

But Lan didn't care, he just needed to make sure that the person was still inside, he didn't need to cheat to open the iron gate, he could blow open the iron gate directly.

Lane gently pulled Dandelion back, and put his left hand on the iron door under the puzzled eyes of the other party.

"I've seen Geralt use the witcher method." The poet lowered his voice, "But believe me, this door is very strong, it can't be opened with a slap that can blow the wind."

"We are different." Lann smiled. "I told you that I could kill several warlocks in one go on the battlefield. Do you think I'm joking?"

[Alder Sign] +100 magic points, release.

Lane was going to be gentle before the whole house fell down, and he still needed to live.

With a "boom", Dandelion suddenly covered his eyes that were hurt by the wind pressure. The iron-covered door was not broken, but flew in with the part of the wooden wall, filling the sky. Sawdust was flying around.

A wretched man holding a crossbow was behind the door, yelled and dived to his side, but even so, he was still rubbed against his left leg by the iron door that flew upside down into the room, and he lost his center of gravity and spun around. out.

Dandelion stared dumbfounded at Lan's another regular [Alder Sign] to clean up the dust and flying sawdust in the air, strode towards the owner of the house, Melman, and murmured involuntarily : "You are indeed different from Geralt."

Melman screamed on the ground: "I don't know Levi, who are you? Don't you dare to come to the pier at night, aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

The house next to it heard the deafening noise here, and immediately countless lights came on, and the rustling sound of seats collided continuously, but it soon calmed down again. It is estimated that the noise here was a bit beyond their expectations. Nobody wants to get in trouble.

Lan stopped in front of Melman, and the owner of the house saw the steel greaves in front of him, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.His eyes moved up slowly, it was difficult to calculate the actual value of this armor with his eyesight, but he knew that even guessing the limit of his imagination might be an underestimation of the true face of this armor.

For a person wearing such a suit of armor, finding him is definitely not a trivial matter.

Melman's voice suddenly softened, and his fierce eyes became clear: "Forgive me...have mercy, I swear in the name of my mother, no matter what you want to know, I will say it all, or you want money ? I can give you all..."

"You're Melman, aren't you? Where's Reans?"

Melman trembled when he heard this question.He is not a coward, there are not many things in this world that can make a desperado fear.But the question of the blond knight in front of him contained everything he was afraid of, and even exceeded it.

Fear spread in the internal organs, like a living bug, and Melman managed to suppress it.

"Huh?" He pretended to be surprised. "What? Who? What did you say? What's in it?"

Lan smiled lightly, bent down, and let Melman look directly into his eyes.

Then a hand covered those eyes, and the hand was still glowing with white light.

[Axie Sign] + [Charm] + Magic Infusion.

Melman's eyes suddenly became confused.

"Where is Riens and how do I find him?"

Melman muttered to himself: "I don't know where he is, he always came to me. But he gave me an amulet, which can send him a signal..."

The expression of Dandelion, who was watching from behind, became horrified. He looked at Lan in disbelief, and Melman, who knew everything and talked endlessly under the other party's subordinates, and thought in his heart: "Could it be that this is the witch hunt?" What should a person look like?"

Melman dazedly handed out a blue amulet. It was made of metal and looked crude. It was not the kind that would make people want to buy it on the street. Who would have thought of it? It's actually a communication device.

Lane continued to ask: "How to pass the information to Reins?"

"There is a hollow in the center of the amulet, and the matching cylindrical pin is inserted into it to transmit the signal."

Dandelion leaned over curiously, and looked at this magical communication tool with Lann.

"No, there is no hole in this amulet... Wait a minute, there is indeed, but it has been blocked..."

Dandelion's face suddenly changed, and he realized it.

Lan En's pupils shrank, and he frantically began to activate his witcher senses.

…………

A moment ago, the only sound in this deserted alley was the sound of raindrops beating the sewers. Now the rain has stopped, dawn is approaching, the sky in the east is starting to turn white, and the sound of the alley has come to life.

Lane heard the flapping of crows and owls, the screeching of mating cats, the barking of stray dogs, the singing of taverns, and the cries of fights.

There were more than a dozen footsteps.The steps are very light, there should be no armor, so it is very fast, and the voice is getting louder.

Lan kicked Dandelion's body, kicking the poet into the air and rolling into the corner, and then he rolled on the ground, and then two crossbow bolts penetrated through the window and nailed to the place where he was just standing. place.

One of the arrows pierced Melman's chest and abdomen, causing the opponent to retreat from the influence of the [Axii Sign], but obviously he couldn't survive.

Afterwards, more than a dozen people broke in through doors and windows, and some people jumped in from the collapsed roof, surrounding Lan En.

They didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Lan En, or they wanted to keep alive for questioning.

Lan En looked closely, and found that these were dressed as street killers or mercenaries, with mixed equipment and strange looks. Only two of them were equipped with weapons such as crossbows.

For Lane, these people are not a problem at all.But their presence here is a big problem.

A man in iron armor walked in slowly from the door. He had a kind of deliberately maintained elegance, but he was very fierce. Lan looked towards his face, and a distorted scar ruined the entire right side of his face. Lose.

It was Riens, with Yennefer's scar on his face.

"It looks like this is a trap, but I have a question." Lan said coldly, "What about the soldiers I deployed outside? How did you sneak in without any fighting sounds?"
