From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 183 Your wife... No, your knife belongs to me!
"You told me that this guy got this ability from a deal with a demon, is it [Magic Summoning]?"

Lan shook his head: "I can't tell you in detail now, maybe I will have a chance after this problem is completely resolved."

Lei Suo is well-informed and knows some rules of forbidden magic.Hearing this, he just frowned, but he also made it very clear that he didn't ask further questions.

"How are you going to deal with him?"

Lan En had a plan in his heart: "Killing is impossible, we can only go together, and subdue him instantly with a force far beyond him—a bloody subdue."

Lan En said, clenched his fist with one hand, and then let it go suddenly, making a "split" gesture.

Lesso glanced at him: "But I look at him and want to be one-on-one with you."

Lan shrugged: "That's his business. I'm an earl, and this is a battlefield. If I didn't want to use my life to fill up this monster, I would have sent soldiers rushing forward."

Not far away, Ogierd saw Lan and Leto standing together, and finally stopped yelling.

He tried his best to reach the hilt of the sword piercing through his back, but he couldn't touch it anyway.In the end, he simply stopped touching, and directly raised the knife towards Lann:

"Lannister, don't hide behind your subordinates, fight with me!"

Lan looked around and saw the corpses of the wild boar army everywhere. He asked, "You know I'm coming, and you know that this will happen, but you still wait for me, right? Why, just to fight with me? "

Ogierd grinned with a oozing smile: "I told you, Lannister. Life needs fun, but I am very slow about it. Only going crazy from time to time can make me feel the vitality of life. With Your sword-to-sword encounter and strategy game made me a little bit interested after a long time."

"As for the wild boar army? It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as a period of time passes, new ones will gather around me, just like my body will recover sooner or later."

Lann raised the rune sword: "Although these words sound unreasonable, I can suddenly understand them when they are placed on you. But have you ever thought that you may not have 'for a while'?"

Ogierd raised the scimitar in his hand: "That's harder than letting me die now, Lannister. Today is the first time I have fought a demon hunter, but I believe you are not an ordinary demon hunter Man, I've been looking forward to it."

"Do you need me to wait for you to draw out all the swords on your body?"

"Don't worry, I don't feel pain, and the pain doesn't interfere with me. But fighting like this is very novel to me—"

Before the words were finished, a black mist suddenly appeared on Ogierd's body, and then he seemed to ignore the weight of the steel on his body, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than ten steps to Lann.

Lan En's reaction was also unmatched by others. A [Quen Seal] raised his upper body and raised his sword to block.

"clang--"

There was another symphony of steel that made the eardrums tremble, and Lan firmly held the scimitar in the opponent's hand.

But I saw the opponent turn his wrist by the reaction force of this collision, the scimitar made a slight circle around the top of the head, and then attacked quickly with continuous "woo" and "woo", each time getting heavier and heavier.

That posture actually had the flavor of a sword dance.

At the same time, the red light on the scimitar in his hand became more and more intense.

Finally, as if he had accumulated enough strength, Ogierd turned from a light blow to a heavy slash, and slashed on Lann's sword spine like an avalanche. Not only that, a bloody arc of light stretched out from the scimitar, as if The sword light pushed Lan En abruptly back far away, causing the [Quen Seal] on his body to fluctuate.

If it wasn't for Lann's defensive seal, he would have been injured at this moment.

"Lannister, is that all you have?"

Ogierd yelled, and was about to push forward again.

Suddenly, a huge but swift black shadow flashed by his side, splitting his whole body in half with a single strike.

It's Lei Suo, this poisonous giant python.He made a contribution with one blow, but froze slightly as he steadied his figure, because the feeling was wrong.

"It's this trick again..."

I saw that Ogierd didn't become "two halves" at this moment, but completely dissipated in the air, turning into a black mist to avoid the attack.

But fortunately, this seems to be just a temporary spell, not a talent skill like the "fog demon". After avoiding the slash, Ogierd immediately turned into a human form again.

Then, another silver light illuminated his eyes.

Or Reso.

Have you ever seen a bear with the speed of a leopard?Ogierd saw it.

With the sound of tearing the wind, the sturdy figure rushed towards Ogierd at an unreasonable speed.

This guy's performance doesn't match the animal hanging around his neck at all!

"Good!" Facing the menacing enemy, Ogierd cheered loudly instead.At this moment, he was almost about to burst his eye sockets, waving a scimitar to face him.

With a "boom", the scimitar collided with the snake-headed silver sword, and sparks seemed to burst out at that moment.Lei Suo only felt a numbness in his palm and a slight tingling pain.

Looking up at Ogild, the man's hands were dripping with blood at the moment, and his whole body simply flew upside down.

This is the first time Lan En has seen someone who can beat someone flying with a sword fight!

As expected of him!

Seeing that Lei Suo suppressed the enemy, Lan decisively slapped the ground with his left hand and raised the fully automatic magic turret.

【Yarden Seal】!
A phantom of a constantly beating hourglass appeared in sight, and Lan hung on Ogild's body the moment he appeared.

With a "crack", Ogierd, who was still in the air, was shot down to the ground immediately, and the purple brilliance clinged to his body, not only preventing him from turning into black mist, but also making his movements slow like an old man.

Lei Suo waved his hand tentatively, raising his eyebrows.Why doesn't this Griffin's [Yarden Seal] work on him?Can you tell the difference between friend and foe?Will you beat yourself up?

Ogierd got up, and was beaten like a drunk person in the crackling magic circle.Lan En leaned forward, swiped the scimitar in the opponent's hand with a sword, stepped forward, twisted his waist, lifted his hips and turned his shoulders——

[Whirling Sword Dance]!
Far faster and more violent than before, Ogierd's attack slanted unreservedly on this body that didn't know if it was still a body of flesh and blood.

Jian Guang, who couldn't react with the naked eye, made the surrounding attendants glow with splendor. An ordinary person would have died more than twenty times at this moment.

The steel swords of the Sintra knights stuck on Ogierd's body helped Ogierd block many attacks by accident, but even so, this set of sword dances almost split all the wounds on Ogierd's body. The large muscle groups and organs made his whole body limp at the moment.

Lan En slashed at the opponent's chest and abdomen again with his sword, and with great strength, he took Ogierd around half a circle, and handed the hilt of the sword exposed from behind to Lan En's hand.

Lan En held the hilt of the sword in one hand, kicked the opponent directly, and pulled out the sword abruptly.

Then he sprinted forward while the opponent hadn't gotten up, and pinned him to the ground with a "puchi".

Then he did the same thing, nailing Ogierd's limbs, torso, and neck to the ground several times with a sword, and adding the [Yarden Seal], which almost made him unable to move.

"Lannister, what are you doing!"

Looking at the enemy struggling on the ground but unable to get up, Lan took a deep breath.The magic power in his body started to work, and Lann recalled the lessons Triss had taught him during this period, and began to murmur words——

[Transformer Sealing Technique]!
The chatter in Ogierd's mouth stopped abruptly, not because of pain, but because he suddenly found himself speechless.

Then his body twisted for a while, with a faint feeling of shrinking, and even the color of jade began to flow on his skin.

It's a pity that this change only lasted two or three breaths, and Ogierd's body returned to its original state immediately.

If it were a normal human being, he would have died of internal bleeding at this moment, but the immortal Ogierd was still full of energy, and even had the strength to scold Lann.

Lane began to think.

"Have you ever thought about it, Ogierd. The immortal body is more painful when facing a strong enemy?"

The enemies nailed to the ground were a little puzzled.

Lan shook his head: "In the beginning, I didn't plan to deal with you right now. My primary target is only Reigns. But it's all here, so...heh."

"I originally wanted to use magic to take you away, but it failed as you can see. So my actions may be rough afterwards-my sword is very big, please bear with it a little bit."

Lann raised the rune long sword in his hand, the golden light flashed continuously, and he kept raising and lowering the sword.

Ogierd suddenly became "Ogierds".

Lane called on the soldiers to wrap the Ogierds in cloaks, and each of them carried a piece on their backs.The immortal body seemed to be still functioning, and a steady stream of blood soon seeped out from inside the cloak.

Although it was troublesome, at least Lann could "capture" Ogierd with this method.

The battle here was basically over, and Lane asked the soldiers to rest in place and count the wounded.

He himself set his sights on the spoils in his hands: a simple machete with a brown wooden handle and a scabbard with a strong nomadic style.This is the weapon used by Ogierd in the previous battle, and the [Item Bar] also gave its name in due course——

【Alice】

Ogierd renamed the heirloom sword after his wife. In the original game, countless players would rather endure the discomfort of sacrificing Ogierd's life than want to get a steel sword TOP level weapon.

This knife was originally a family heirloom of the founding martial arts, and it is priceless.Ogierd is indeed talented in black magic. I don't know how many enchanting effects and alchemy modifications have been added to this knife.

There is no doubt that this is a precious sword comparable to the sword of the lake girl in Lann's hand in terms of materials, and it also has a special magical effect: it will continuously accumulate red magical energy during battle, and it can be used at any time after reaching a certain level. Following the user's slash, a powerful mid-range magic slash burst out.

In the game, the effect is probably that the normal heavy hit becomes double damage, and the damage is superimposed under the red light state.I just don't know what the effect will be if it is substituted into reality.

The only disadvantage is that the magic attack of this knife in the red light state will consume the life value of the knife holder, which is a bit like a berserker who is fighting for his life.But it is not a big problem for Lan, who has [Gourmet] skills and [Oriole] and other blood recovery potions.

Overall, Lane is happy with the trophy.It's just that when Ogierd named the sword after his wife, there seemed to be another layer of meaning that made the pure love warrior furious.

After looking at it for a while, Lann put the Alice machete into the 【Inventory】with a flick of his hand.

Lei Suo came up, pointed at the scattered Ogierd and asked Lann: "What are you going to do? Divide his body into many parts and find a place to bury him, just like the devil in a fairy tale?"

Lan shook his head: "That would be too troublesome, and now it's just for the convenience of taking it back. The best thing is [Transformer Sealing Technique], but you have seen it in the end, I may still need to practice."

Lei Suo said: "It's fine if the sorceress beside you is still there. I remember her name is Triss?"

Lan nodded affirmatively, and explained: "Chapelle needs Triss more now."

…………

"Ms. Triss, my position is already here."

On one balcony of the Temple of the Eternal Fire, two dim red lights flashed from a shadow.

Those were the eyes of Kayan, the Cat Pie witcher.

Before him was the empty roof.But after hearing Kayan's words, the air on the roof suddenly twisted slightly, followed by Triss' voice.

"How did you find me?"

Kayan said rightly: "I know you are on standby on the roof, and then you can find the relative direction of the two of us based on the vibration of the badge, and then determine your position. This is very easy."

The twisting and shaking of the air above the roof became more violent.

Triss was silent for two seconds, and asked, "Did you bring Ogierd's brother back?"

Kaiyan nodded and said: "Yes, now he possesses a temple guard, let him fight inside for a while to have a good time, and then let him leave a written evidence that he has returned to the world and has enjoyed himself, and finally Do a little more guidance...the task assigned by Lann is over."

"Whoever decides who will be Novigrad in the future depends on the current one."

Triss naturally knew this process, and her appearance here was part of the mission.But she closed her eyes and felt for a long time in the direction of Kayan's finger, but she didn't find any trace of the soul.

"The soul you mentioned is possessed by a temple guard. Where is he?"

Keyan tilted his head towards a particularly excited guard: "That's the one, there's a nasty smell all over your body, obviously, can't you feel it?"

Triss opened her eyes and shook her head.

At this moment, the sorceress suddenly became a little academically interested in the Cat Pie Witcher.

It's also thanks to the fact that she is now in the invisible state of magic illusion so that the other party can't see the expression, otherwise the sensitive Kayan will probably have a bad face.

These two people conspired loudly at the headquarters of the Eternal Flame, which would definitely not work in the usual way, but today all the patrolling guards were called together, so naturally no one paid any attention to such trivial matters.

At this moment, Chapelle and Caleb Manji were surrounded and protected by their own subordinates, and the two waves of troops were truly at war.

"Caleb Manji! You are just the head of the temple guards. Who gave you the courage to confront Mr. Chapelle! And you, believers of the eternal flame, do you know what you are doing!"

Chapelle is the security officer of the Eternal Flame, the most powerful person in Novigrad.He was a military officer, and his current position is more equivalent to the roles of mayor and consul, and he also has a pivotal position in politics.

Therefore, even though Caleb Manji, as the head of the temple guards, already has a large number of cronies under him, he still needs to be cautious when facing Chapelle at this moment.

After all, the Eternal Flame is a religion rather than a general political force. It doesn't mean that after he kills Chapelle, he can naturally replace it.In addition to money and power, what unites these people also requires faith.

At least, it is a reasonable "faith".

"I received a report today that the gangsters will cause chaos in the city." Chapelle said coldly, his expression and posture at this moment were exactly the posture of the security officer in everyone's memory.

"And I still have a report saying that you, Caleb Manji, are also in contact with them. I didn't believe it at first, but I thought I'd go back to you to confirm after dealing with the gangster matter. Now it seems... the news is true? "

The guards on Chapelle's side drew their weapons and stared at Caleb Manji with gritted teeth, only waiting for the order of their own security officer to sacrifice their lives for the eternal flame.

Caleb Manji glanced around slightly. According to his original plan, there should be riots in Novigrad at this moment, and more than one-third of Chapelle's troops should be dispatched to quell the chaos.It's not like now that all the staff are still ready to go, as if they are waiting for themselves to be delivered to their door.

If a conflict breaks out at this time, it's really hard to say who wins and who loses.Even if they get into a fight, the soldiers on their side may be overwhelmed by Chapelle's prestige and quickly lose morale.

The rats in the gutter are really unreliable!

Caleb Manji severely reprimanded the gangsters in his heart, planning to liquidate them afterwards.

However, he was not in a panic. Although there were some slight deviations in the plan, the trump card in his hand was still not played, and this moment was just the right time.

"You now support Chapelle, thinking that he is your security officer, a soldier who once led you to spread the gospel of eternal fire." Caleb Manji was unhurried and sure of winning, "I once told myself To follow the Great Security Officer, the most determined Firebearer I have ever seen."

"Since you know what Mr. Chapelle represents, get out of the way quickly! We want to stop the gang chaos before it spreads to the citizens!"

Hearing Chapelle's adjutant scold him, Caleb Manji suddenly raised his voice, startling everyone.

"That's right, gangsters are threatening my believers, but there is a far more deadly danger in the temple than the threat of gangsters. He is right under our noses, and even prays with us to the eternal flame every day!"

The long sword in his hand suddenly pointed at Chapelle: "That's you, you are not Chapelle, but a dirty, cunning, evil mutant! Shape! Monster!"

Hearing Caleb Manji's words, the soldiers on Chapelle's side were in an uproar.

No one believed such nonsense.

"Mr. Chapelle, give your order! Caleb Manji has been blinded by power, betrayed his faith, and become a slave to desire! We really have something more important than quelling the gangsters now, that is to let the betrayers Purified by fire!"

Facing the resentment of the soldiers, Chapelle raised his hand to stop them.

"You say I'm a shapeshifter. I'm surprised by this kind of accusation. After all, it's a frame that doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I'm even more curious about who gave you this wrong guidance and asked you to say in public Say something like that?"

Chapelle's tone was still cold, and his tone today basically didn't fluctuate much, as if it was deliberately faked.

But at this moment, none of the soldiers around him noticed this strangeness.Even if he noticed it, he just thought that maybe Mr. Shapela was deliberately suppressing his anger, so it didn't matter if he felt strange when he spoke.

Caleb Manji stared angrily, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out in front of everyone:
"Don't any of you find it strange? Or do you clearly have doubts, but never have the courage to raise them? Since the stroke, our security officer has become indecisive, no longer firm, no longer jealous. I always thought he He was knocked down by the disease, but he didn't expect the fact to be even more terrifying-he was replaced by the devil!"

"The despicable demon climbed to the top of the Eternal Flame in full view. It is because I respect the former Chapelle that I want to destroy this demon even more. This is the revelation that the Eternal Flame gave me!"

The morale of Caleb Manji's subordinates was driven by his voice. An important reason for them to gather around Caleb Manji was that they were dissatisfied with the status quo of the Eternal Flame under the control of Chapelle. They are now acting He was restricted everywhere, and his wallet was much shriveled than before.

Under normal circumstances, they are hindered by more or less faith in their hearts and Chapelle's prestige, and they can still bear it.But when Caleb Manji told them the truth of the matter, they immediately hit it off and decided to "purge" the eternal flame.

On the other hand, although Chapelle's disciples were slightly agitated by Caleb Manji's words, they could still maintain the basic order.

They belong to a group of people who support Chapelle's change, or a group of people with stronger beliefs in their hearts.Both Eternal Flame and Novigrad are getting better day by day. If the person who made this change is a "demon", then what is the former Chapelle and other high-level executives of Eternal Flame?

"It's very exciting, Brother Manji." Chapelle still had that icy look, and his tone of voice didn't change much today.

Not even Caleb Manji's accusations had disturbed him a bit.
