From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 157 The Eternal Flame of Novigrad

Need the help of a warlock?Philippa felt that everything was under her control again.

"Your idea of ​​'Diversified Help' is very interesting. If you need it, I will help you contact the Brotherhood. But you'd better not trust the warlocks who come alone to find you, because there are also warlocks who are against you , The existence of the power of your blood that maliciously plots against you. If they find you, they may not be able to contact you calmly like me."

The old PUA resorted to tricks, and this woman almost told Lan En directly, "Don't touch the warlocks that weren't brought by Philippa."

Lan En raised his eyebrows: "I make my own judgment."

Within the Brotherhood of Warlocks, although Lan now has the support of Yennefer and Triss, Triss is a real "young warlock" and has no right to speak; Yennefer, although a little older, came alone Going alone has little organizational support within the fraternity.

On the other hand, Philippa has already stepped into the upper echelon of the Brotherhood, and has more resources to leverage.Although for Lan En, she is currently divided between the enemy and the enemy, but before Lan En fully grows up, it is also a very good choice to absorb her nutrients to grow herself.

This kind of female sorceress is always easier to fool than a king...

With the system and foresight, Lann is very confident that he will grow rapidly at a speed that no one can react to, and it's time to surprise those who try to manipulate him.

…………

After settling these matters, Lan said goodbye to Vizmir II and headed towards Novigrad.

This is a seed he planted, and it will grow into a towering tree; he is not worried that the other party will falsely claim his academic achievements. Milo and other scholars have testified, and he also said that there are follow-up Deriving the formula is enough to attract these scholars.

The physical formula that Lane asked Milo to hand over—in fact, Newton’s first law—has attracted the attention of many scholars. They are said to have begun to organize experimental demonstrations, but they have not met Lane for the time being.

At this moment, they are not the group of extreme and bloody inhuman race hunters of the later generations, but people with lofty ideals full of faith and burning flames in their hearts, adhering to the noble sentiment of "warming the world and driving away evil", each of them is full of fighting spirit , high spirits.

It is the largest city and the main port of the Northern Kingdom, and it is even called "the capital of the Northern Kingdom".

With all the cards Lane currently has in his hand, playing all of them may be able to kill Philippa.But that's not worth the candle.

The leading soldier saw the document in Lan En's hand, looked at Lan En's dark golden lion eyes for two seconds, then looked at Zoltan and the others in the team, and asked, "The king sent you here?"

During these recuperation days, Lann also had frequent exchanges with Dandelion, Shani, and "Rust" Milo, and confirmed their future plans.

Lan En didn't care much about this. It was understandable that the researchers kept the powerful people at arm's length. What's more, Lan En was just an earl who was about to perish, and he was not "powerful" enough to let the researchers let go of their restraint.

This City of Liberty is very close to the Bull Castle, and it can even be said to be located in the same area. Lan En and his party arrived at the gate of this city in just two days on horseback. Looking at the city in the whole time, looking at the elf-style buildings that are very similar to Sintra, I feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

Although Novigrad is located in Redania and is nominally ruled by Vizmir II, it is actually a free city.

I was brought into it unknowingly, you must know that he is the one who should turn the table the most.

Lann had nothing to do, after saying goodbye to the dwarf team, they were led to the headquarters of the eternal flame by the soldiers of the eternal flame.

What happened to Philippa was a wake-up call for all of them.After all, there are still some people who don't play their cards according to the routine. In the original book, many people are overconfident in the rules of power, and the result is that a large number of kings die.

The short man had noticed Lan En a long time ago. His attitude was very cold, but he took the initiative to explain to Lan En and his party: "We received a tip today that there are gangsters planning to organize a fight near the square. We need to ensure that the damage they cause will not It is controlled within an acceptable range and will not harm ordinary citizens."

"Sintra should be in great need of supplies. You can make a list for me. When the time comes, I will lead the team there, and I will definitely give you a sufficiently favorable price!"

This is the mainstream religion in the North - the private arm of "Eternal Flame". This religion has a strong influence in all countries in the North, and because Novigrad is the place of its origin, the sect's control here even Stronger than Vizmir II.

On the way, Zoltan left the team, and then he was going to start his own business affairs, which was no longer consistent with the purpose of Lane's trip.

When Lan walked into the real temple under the leadership of the guiding soldiers, he saw a short man praying in the morning like preaching to everyone:

The arrival of their group had already attracted the attention of the Eternal Flame guards guarding the city, and the guards shouted loudly to get Lan and his party off their horses for inspection.It may be that they saw the eye-catching aristocratic coat of arms, so the words of these guards were still polite.

Lane nodded: "We are here to visit Mr. Chapelle of the Eternal Flame at the king's request. The king wants me to convey some information."

Standing in front of the short man was a group of soldiers in black armor and white robes. After the short man finished praying, they also responded enthusiastically:

"The fire ignites us and protects us from evil.

At this time, the soldiers stationed at the gate of Novigrad changed their clothes. They no longer wore the eagle coat of arms of Redania, but wore plain white robes with red patterns on the outside of their armor. .

"Eternal fire, we pray to you.

The overall strategy has been set, although it is destined to fight the enemy in the end; but when to fight, in what form, and to what extent, these must be decided by Lan himself, rather than being led by the nose by the enemy.

"Rust" Milo had promised to go to Sintra after finishing this semester's course. Lann gave him the coat of arms of the Lannister family, and agreed to send soldiers to escort him when the time came.

Fire gives warmth and guides the direction of our lives. "

The flame keeps dancing, shining the brightest way for us.

"Monsieur Chapelle." There was a look of respect on the soldier's face.After confirming that the identities and procedures of Lan En and his party were correct, he also took the initiative to arrange for two soldiers to lead Lan En.

He is Chapelle.

He took the initiative to walk towards Lan and his party. He was wearing a white tight top and a gray coat. The gold necklace around his neck swayed with his steps, shining with dazzling golden light.

During this period, the soldiers were blaming themselves for being plotted by the enemy without knowing it. As guards, they let the earl they wanted to protect face the enemy alone, which was a shame.

Philippa's calculation made Lan very angry, but what he wants now is not just to let out a breath; since he has the advantage of foresight, he can do many things, killing the enemy is just the foundation, he also needs to On this basis, the enemy is smashed to the bone, sucked out the marrow, eaten dry and wiped clean.

The fire burns everything and burns the hearts of enemies.

This also gave Lan another sense of urgency. He needed to increase his strength as soon as possible and at the same time form a stronger guard.

When it was several miles away from Novigrad, prosperous villages began to appear around it. At that time, there were still many Redanian soldiers patrolling. After Lann revealed the documents given by Vizmir, he was able to Pass without hindrance.

The red flame flickers brightly, protecting us from suffering.

Eternal fire, there is no other god in our eyes! "

Let Lan En, who has traveled to many powerful countries now, sigh that he is an elite.

What are some things that you can try to plot now?

Lane was thinking.

Under the effect of this self-blaming emotion, the low air pressure around them during this time made Lan secretly speechless.But he was happy to see it happen.

People of different professions and races gathered in this city, and the city's astonishing wealth, influence, and strategic importance made Vizmir II himself fearful.It was also for this reason that Ogierd Ifric was able to lead his "Wild Boar Gang", an armed private army, to station here without worrying about attracting encirclement and suppression from the kingdom.

After the conversation with Philippa was over, both of them had a tacit understanding and kept quiet.

In addition to these intricate strengths, Novigrad itself is also a huge treasure house.Many master craftsmen live in seclusion here, there are also ungrown gold card characters living here, and warlocks have set up secret laboratories here. These are the memories Lann brought from the previous game.

The pure and supreme flame heals our hearts.

Novigrad is a port city with rivers everywhere.And the headquarters of the Eternal Flame is even more grand. It is directly set up on a small peninsula extending outward from Novigrad, called "Temple Island".

Eternal fire, we place our faith in you.

Dandelion stayed in Niubao, he lived very comfortably here, and he didn't dare to run around before Liens died; Xia Ni didn't plan to abduct him for the time being, medicine is a subject that needs a solid foundation, Niubao Only then can Xia Ni be given a stable enough learning environment.

The flame is never extinguished and still guides us after death.

Most holy fire, drive away all beasts.

Because his subordinates were all plotted against, Lane chose to stay in Niubao for more time to recuperate, which was also a way for everyone to reflect and adjust their state.

Of course, in addition to the eternal fire, Novigrad has other more complicated political components, which will be discussed in detail later.

The short man nodded in satisfaction, shouted "Let's go!", and all the white-robed soldiers walked out of the temple island together.

Wigfortz, Philippa, and other current and future political enemies are all in mind, just wait...

As the security officer of the Eternal Flame, Chapelle can be said to be one of the most powerful people in Novigrad.It is said that he was once a cruel, cruel and extreme religious lunatic, but after recovering from a stroke, he seems to have a great enlightenment, becoming more kind and compassionate.

Of course, he didn't lose his basic qualities as a military officer. This way of acting with iron fists and gentle wrists made Eternal Flame's reputation in Novigrad more than a little better, and it made the city more prosperous invisibly.

And if Lane remembers correctly, Chapelle's "rebirth" has another secret behind it.

"If you are going to act in Novigrad in the future, you should also pay attention to these gangsters. They act fiercely, but they also have basic rules." Chapelle said, "Wizmir II wrote to me and told me about you. , I will help you with information, but my soldiers will not act for the king, the only thing that can drive them is the supreme eternal fire."
