From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 165 Hurry up and end this show, there are other shows in the second half of the night
[Discovery mission - where the flame cannot illuminate:

A highly poisonous monster appeared in the sewer of the Temple Island, and the Eternal Flame failed to encircle it many times, and the security officer Chapelle was helpless.Professional things have to be done by professional people. Anyway, that monster is your goal, so it’s just a matter of little effort, right, demon hunter? 】

Lane likes this task of eating more than one fish the most.

"Of course." Lan nodded and said, "So that Novigrad will not be troubled by the giant toad again, that's why I went looking for it."

"That monster likes wine and flesh and blood, which should give you some ideas." Chapelle nodded with satisfaction, and said, "My guards will take you to the location of the sewer, and I must remind you—don't Bring ordinary soldiers, otherwise there will be heavy casualties."

Lan En accepted the commission with a nod, and asked again: "You have already sent people to encircle it and failed. If we don't show up or fail, what are you going to do?"

"Drive it down the sewer to Oxburgh."

After coming to deliver the information, the security officer of Eternal Flame left in a hurry. He always looked very busy.

Triss looked at Chapelle's appearance and suddenly felt emotional: "I met Chapelle before. At that time, he was an extreme religious person. He was cruel and ruthless. He was willing to sacrifice other people for his belief. Even I felt that' In his hands, the Eternal Flame is just a tool to gain access to power. I didn't expect that he looks like a different person now, I heard that he became like this after a stroke?"

Lan En glanced at the sorceress, and affirmed: "He really is a different person."

Triss' eyes widened, full of doubts.

Lan smiled, slowly buried his nose into Triss's red hair, and whispered something in her ear.

Triss' eyes widened even wider, and this time they were filled with astonishment.

…………

Because all the sighting reports so far showed that the giant toad appeared at night, Lann didn't go out with Triss until the treetops on the moon.

Sintra's cavalry accompanied them all the way, but Lan didn't take them into the sewer, but guarded outside to prevent irrelevant people from entering.

Chapelle was right about one thing: fighting in the sewers and facing such a huge monster, letting the cavalry down would definitely cause heavy damage. The place they should go to is the battlefield rather than this dark underground place.

If the three servants were still around, Lan would not mind bringing them down to train them.But now there is Triss by her side, which is enough.

The entrance was a well, and Lan went all the way down under the worried eyes of the soldiers, and soon reached the bottom.

In sharp contrast to the beautiful elf-style buildings on the ground, the underground world is like a mine that has not yet been mined, and only a little trace of man-made buildings can be seen.

There are rough and rough rocks everywhere, and the irregular rock walls are covered with moss and mushrooms.

All kinds of living garbage and the dead bodies of small animals are piled up here, emitting an unspeakable stench; occasionally, traces of beggars' lives can be seen, but no living people can be seen.

Triss changed back to the traveler's outfit again, frowning as she looked at everything in front of her.Fortunately, she didn't have the delicate problems of other pampered sorceresses. Instead, she took out a small bottle from her bag with experience, slapped her nose twice, and handed it to Lan.

A scent of plants mixed with Triss's body scent that Lane was already familiar with poured into Lane's nostrils, squeezing out all the stench.

The surrounding environment suddenly became much more comfortable.

Lan raised his eyebrows: "Potion? I remember you are not allergic to these things?"

Triss shook her head: "It's just herbs."

After finishing speaking, Triss waved her hands, and a blue circular shield with a radius of about two steps suddenly appeared around her, which flashed past Lane's sight, and then disappeared.

Warlock battle preparations are complete.

"Let's go, Lion of Cintra, I've been looking forward to fighting with you for a long time."

Lan En chuckled, took out the [Cat's Eye] potion from the [Item Bar] and drank it down, his lion pupils lit up immediately.

The lines and outlines of the surrounding things suddenly became clearer, while their colors became dim. In Lan's eyes, Triss's red hair was even lighter by more than one shade.

Then he pulled out the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, and the shining rune also briefly acted as a lighting object in the darkness, making Lan's side face sharp and angular in Triss' eyes.

The steel greaves kicked the ground and spread far away in the darkness and openness. From time to time, water droplets exposed from the cracks in the rock wall hit the ground, adding a creepy atmosphere to the dark environment.

But Lan and Triss are both people who are used to seeing big winds and waves, and they still have the time to chat in this environment.

"So, this toad is really a prince, Prince Toad?" Triss said in a surprised tone, "And after we capture it, we are going to explore a mage's secret laboratory, just below the headquarters of the Eternal Flame? "

At this time Lane had told Triss about the arrangements for tonight.Not only do they have to catch Prince Toad, but they also have to explore the warlock's laboratory below Temple Island.

Lane nodded: "No chance is usually found, but tonight happens to be a good time."

Triss ignited a ring-shaped flame in her hand, and exclaimed: "There are so many secrets under the Temple Island? Where did you know this, the dream of the ancient blood?"

Lane could only nod.

"It's really wonderful, the legendary blood of the ancients. Speaking of which, Ciri often had strange dreams in Kaer Morhen..."

Lan suddenly raised his hand to signal silence, only to hear a faint sound like a baby crying not far away, accompanied by the scalp-numbing sound of chewing and the sound of tearing flesh and blood.

It's a water ghost.

There are quite a few of them, but enemies of this level have long been no longer a threat to Lann.

It happens to be able to add some damage to the sword of the lake girl, and add a layer of damage.

"Do you need help?"

Hearing the sorceress' question, Lan smiled lightly: "Just keep your eyes on me."

Lan En kicked the ground hard, causing the dull echo to echo in the underground passage for a long time, instantly attracting the attention of all the water ghosts.

Once water ghosts gather together, their courage will be infinitely magnified.At this moment, they obviously had food under them, but they still greedily rushed towards Lan and En.

Lan En turned slightly sideways, pinched out the magic seal with his left hand, and waited for all the water ghosts to enter his attack range.

[Igni Sign] +50 magic burst!

Being underground, it is not advisable to excessively set fires. Lan only let the fan-shaped flames pass by his eyes, which happened to ignite these fire-fearing monsters, causing them to roll in mid-air, lose their balance and fall down.

Immediately following the usual sprint, the silver sword was raised horizontally——

[Whirling Sword Dance] Explosion!
The simple but gorgeous sword strokes shone with the light of the runes, illuminating the entire basement.

The [Igni Sign] blessed by [Armor Melting] made the water ghost's body as fragile as burnt wood, and where the silver sword passed was like a hot knife cutting butter, the bodies of these monsters were divided into several sections.

After three rounds of the sword dance, Lan En stabilized his body, and the water ghosts were still in the air. Sections of their bodies flew away in all directions behind him with the huge force of swinging the sword, pulling out sparks.

From Triss' perspective, it looks a bit like a peacock spreading its tail.

But the sorceress obviously liked this and applauded lightly.

Lan En swung his sword lightly, shaking off the non-existent foam of blood.After the Sword of the Lake Maiden slayed monsters, the runes shone even brighter.

The brief encounter ended quickly.After killing the water ghost, Lan looked at the gnawed corpses.

"A guardian of the eternal flame."

The armor on these guards was severely dented and torn, which was obviously not something that water ghosts could do.Lan carefully rummaged through it and found a relatively undamaged corpse, and began to observe.

"It has a large body and amazing strength. But without the scars of claws and teeth, it fights in a different way."

"Is that it, Prince Toad?" Triss also found out.

In a few corners, there are some honeycombs and swallow nests made of weird white mucus, in which dead young girls are imprisoned, probably attracted by the legend of "Prince Toad".

"It seems that the prince is too 'satisfied' with them, and wants to eat them up and be together forever."

Lan shook his head, took a deep breath, and the witcher's senses were turned on.

Red pheromones floated out from the soldiers of Eternal Flame and these young girls, forming a ribbon-like visual synaesthesia information before Lane's eyes.

They were intertwined and intertwined, and eventually they all rushed in one direction.

"found it!"

Lan started to run in small steps, passing all kinds of corpses and slime on the road. He was very glad that he didn't wear the big griffin's cloak, but changed into an ordinary cloak, otherwise he would fight here. After a battle, I probably won't be able to wear that thing anymore.

The field of vision in front of me soon became wider. This place seems to be a central processing station for many pipelines. It is about two or three stories high and covers an eighth of a square. The ground is covered with all kinds of indescribable things. .

Occasionally, a little moonlight shone down from the small skylight above, but unfortunately it did not help the atmosphere of the scene.
