From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 206 Snake faction likes Sintra very much (transitional chapter)
Although Lan can be sure that if he encounters a life-and-death crisis, the two great masters in the school will definitely not turn a blind eye.But they offered to help is another matter.

There is a meaning that passive blood locking skills become active summoning skills.

Facing Lan En's surprised inquiry, Geron nodded: "We didn't want to help you at first because of the tradition of 'experience' as a witcher. But judging from the news we received from the outside world during this period, you are more advanced than we imagined. is much better, it can even be said to be too good..."

"Experience is no longer necessary, and I should also help you revive the career of the witcher. It's just that Keerda and I are prisoners of the old era. Our sins and beliefs are destined to prevent us from leaving the Sirens of Kele Settling elsewhere can only provide you with some help as a teacher and senior when you need it."

Lan En hesitated to speak: "But the demise of the Kyle Siren is not the fault of you and Mr. Keldar. If Grandmaster Ellan is still alive, I certainly don't want you to punish yourself like this..."

Jieron waved his hand and blocked Lane's words: "That's it, you just treat me as a senior thug, and just say hello to me when you need help, as if every time you need something new It’s the same as contacting me when decocting medicine. But now you have a whole Snake Sect following, presumably you don’t need me for decocting medicine.”

Lan En smiled embarrassedly, and took out a clay pot from the [Inventory] with a flip of his hand: "I really have new decoction ingredients recently, the kind that even the Snake Pie can't handle..."

Jie Long looked at it intently, showing a strange expression: "Ancient deer head spirit? You can actually hunt and kill monsters of this level? This can indeed make the most suitable decoction for our Griffin School. You will follow me later Stay by your side, just to learn the techniques of enchanting and infusion together."

Lane nodded excitedly.

Regarding Geron's reluctance to leave the Kyle Siren, he no longer persuaded him on the surface, but he still hasn't given up in his heart.

It is said that strong women are afraid of being entangled... No, it is "as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle".Geron went from being unwilling to leave Kyle Siren for half a step to being willing to leave occasionally to be a thug for himself. This is already a huge breakthrough from zero to one. "Zero" has already broken through, and "one" is not unthinkable.

This sentence sounds weird...

Forget it, I really can't do it, I just need to speed up the frequency of writing letters in the future.

…………

Enchanting and enchanting are both extremely delicate work, not to mention that Lann's two swords are the top works of magic weapons, and [Extreme Griffin Set] is also a treasure that is close to the top of the witcher's equipment.Therefore, Jielong must be more cautious in his work process, so as not to damage the original charm of these magic equipment.

In addition, this is also a teaching process for Lane to learn, and Jieron deliberately slowed down the speed so that Lane can understand and absorb it more easily.In the end, the whole process took a full three days to be completed.

After the enchantment and infusion of the equipment is finished, it is the decoction.Lane also learned and harvested a new potion——

[Ancient deer head essence decoction]: After the drinker drinks the decoction, every time the drinker uses magic power, the recovery speed of his magic power will increase rapidly.

In a certain sense, it is an infinite firepower mode. After drinking this bottle of medicine, Lann may not have recovered much of the magic power consumed when casting the seal.

In addition to Geron, everyone in the Snake faction also borrowed another small alchemy laboratory in Kyle Siren during this period, and prepared the corresponding potions from the mutation inducers collected in Fort Haji.

[Fork-tailed dragon decoction]: The magic power, vitality, and adrenaline consumed by the demon hunter during the battle will be accumulated, and when the critical point is reached, the next attack of the demon hunter will be strengthened.The more energy types accumulated, the less energy types are needed.

This is a decoction that the more fancy you play, the higher the output.With one strike and one slash, energy and magic power can be accumulated at the same time, and the next blow will definitely be strengthened.But if you just slash with your sword in a sullen head, it may take four or five blows to strengthen the next blow.

There are other monster decoctions besides the first time.

[Griffin decoction]: After receiving damage, the drinker will temporarily increase the resistance to the corresponding damage.

Being burned by fire increases fire resistance, and being cut by a knife makes the skin harder.This is a medicine for tanks, maybe the demon hunters of the bear faction will like it, but it's a pity that Lane's current team does not have this school of thought.

In addition, there are [Pterodactyl decoction], [Petrochemical chicken snake decoction], [Ghoul decoction], [Evil ghost decoction], etc. The monsters attracted by the Squirrel Party are indeed various. .Previously, Kyle Siren did not complete the decoction series for Lann because he did not preserve the biological materials. This wave almost directly collected a small half.

Thank you Squirrel Party for the gift!

With so many special decoctions, plus Lane's full poison resistance during the witcher mutation period, he can also have a new drug-taking style of play in the future.

By the way, during the process of [Alice] machete being enchanted by Geron, the soul Alice in the painting naturally escaped from the possessed state and hid in Lane's room.She seemed to be a little afraid of the elders of the Griffin School, but she was still noticed by the keen Geron and Kelda.

The end result was that she was generously introduced by Lan to the two master witchers.After learning about Alice's experience, the two well-informed witchers couldn't help but marvel. They were full of chivalry and felt sympathetic and sad for Alice, and welcomed her arrival.

Alice was happy about it.

Sintra's soldiers almost tried their best to clean up the snow from the entire castle.It's just that there are many damaged roofs and city walls that have not been repaired. Geron and Kelda think that these can be done by themselves, and they expressed their gratitude to the people of Sintra for their help.

As a portal opened, Lann narrowed his eyes slightly.Go through this door and you will be back in Sintra.

Besides Geron, Keerda and Little Leo also came out to see him off.

Looking at the young man who had obviously become resolute and strong, Lan En, who recalled his youthful and childish appearance in White Orchard not long ago, was in a good mood:

"Leo, you have to train seriously here. You are also my attendant, and I look forward to the day when you will serve me as soon as possible."

The little guy nodded vigorously: "Yes! Lord Earl!"

Hearing Lan En's advice to Leo, Geron was silent for a while, crossed his arms and said suddenly: "You must strengthen your studies when you go back, and don't waste your magical talent. You must also keep up with the accumulation of knowledge. You didn't do it this time. I am very dissatisfied with you for being able to recognize the royal griffin in the first place."

Lan En's face immediately became embarrassing when he heard this.

"But after you return to Sintra, Mossak will be there, so I don't have to worry about you being lazy." Geron smiled with a melancholy face, "Be careful with everything, and come to me if you have any difficulties."

Lan En nodded seriously: "Yes, teacher."

Then he turned around and rushed into the portal with the reluctant Heifeng.

In front of him was the motherland that he had left for more than three months.

Cintra, I'm back!

…………

If Lann was a wanderer returning home in Kelthein, then his return to Sintra is a "return of the king" in a sense.

Compared with the Kyle Sirens, only Geron came out to greet them, and the scene of Sintra has a much more ceremonial sense.Before setting off, Lane specially asked the cavalrymen of Sintra to polish their armors more shinyly, and tidied up their attire, showing the spirit of the "Lion Guard".

The portal was opened by Mossack, who had already communicated with Geron, and specially opened it at Brokiron's current main entrance.

As soon as Lan fell to the ground, before he opened his eyes from the dizziness, the cheers had already penetrated into his ears, and no other sounds could be heard.

"Lion! Lion of Cintra!!!"

"Lord Lannister! Long live Lannister!! Long live Sintra!!!"

Lan En resisted the discomfort brought by the portal, and forcibly used powerful expression management to make himself show a decent, friendly, sunny, majestic and calm smile at the same time.

At the same time, he also felt the discomfort of going to Kyle Siren before the black wind under his crotch disappeared, and he even puffed up his chest and held his head high, letting his fierce mane start to flutter in the strong wind in response to everyone's cheers.

As expected of my horse!

Seeing the Earl's smile, the crowd cheered louder.Mossak didn't take the initiative to gather these people, but asked them to clear an open space here in advance and told them the news that they gathered here spontaneously.From the expressions on their faces, it can be seen that they have been waiting here for a long time.

Due to the crowding, they stumbled. If it was Sintra in the past, they might still hold up flowers and ivy at this moment, and make clanking sounds with wine glasses.But at the moment, supplies are scarce, so they can only send their praises and blessings to the sky to celebrate the safety of Lan En and his party.

There was a "boom", like a heavy pillar hitting the ground, and the people quickly grew a guardrail made of vines to prevent accidental stampedes. Immediately after that, the resident city guards came up to maintain order.Lann noticed that the craziest of these people was a group of people dressed in sackcloth but with three lion claw marks painted on them. The frenzy in their eyes almost ignited the magically grown plants in front of them.

If I remember correctly, these people were the "Lion Order" formed spontaneously at the beginning?
"Pay attention to safety and maintain order!" Lan En shouted loudly.Due to his superhuman physical ability, this voice actually overwhelmed the cheers of the crowd and reached the ears of everyone present.

Ordinary Sintra people are fine, but these members of the "Lion Cult" were suddenly shocked after hearing Lan En's words, no longer the previous rushing forward desperately to see Lan En's true face Crazy, but turned around and started to maintain order with the city guards.

It can't be said that, judging from their expressions and eyes, the madness is actually unabated.But their behavior actually reveals a sense of reason, full of a contradictory sense of contrast.

The Sintra soldiers who cooperated with them all turned a blind eye to this group of "religious believers", obviously they are no longer surprised.

Mossack appeared from the end of the crowd and approached slowly, and saluted Earl Lannister as a royal advisor.

Lan received Mossak's greeting with a straight face, and then got off his horse as fast as he could and hugged the Druid.

This scene made the surrounding cheers louder again, and it seemed that Mossak's prestige in the station had also increased by more than a notch during this period.

"Uncle Mossack, how did you create such a big formation? Is there any problem with the front line?"

"I haven't seen you for three months. The people need a little encouragement. The basic order is still maintained as usual, and the soldiers on the front line have not returned. Afterwards, you will also go to the front line to condolence and encourage the soldiers there. "

Lane nodded after hearing Mossack's arrangement: "It's natural."

He turned around, looked at the eagerness in the eyes of the Cintra people, and suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.

He was about to say something.

"Everyone!"

The lion roared, and all the people fell silent within a few breaths.They looked at Lan En, only the expressions on their faces showed the excitement and anxiety in their hearts at the moment.

"You all know that in the past three months, I went to Temeria, went to Redania, and finally went to Haji Fortress to hold talks with other kings in the north."

Although Sintra is retreating to Brokilon, it is definitely not trapped. The news and caravans from the outside world will continue to come here.Every time Mossack received Lane's letter, he would also selectively modify it, and then inform the people of Brokilon and the soldiers on the front line to enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the camp today.

"Brave Lannister! Just Lannister!" Some people shouted very cooperatively. These two titles are Lann's reputation for not hurting civilians after being offended in Temeria. Praise for protecting the White Orchard under the devil's hand.

"The knight of the fairy in the lake! The monster killer!" This paragraph should have been spread by the people who went to Redania to save the ship.

"The savior of Novigrad! The lion who stepped on the fire!" This passage may have the credit of the Fox Theater.

Lan stretched out his hands and pressed down, making the crowd who were still about to call out various titles quiet for a moment.

"These false names are insignificant, and they are just embellishments on my way to Pontal. What is really important is the purpose of my trip, and I must say-I have brought back a good news."

Lane clenched his right fist and raised his head above his head: "We are now in a severe situation of war. Our enemy is a powerful and cruel opponent. They have better weapons and more sufficient resources. I know that these days everyone has Fear and restlessness, not knowing where tomorrow will be. But you all swore to protect your homeland, just as I swore to protect you!
To this end, I embarked on the road to Pontal.Today's Northern Kingdoms: Temeria, Redania, Kaedwen, Aedirn, and the United Kingdom of Lyria and Livia have all reached an agreement with us to fight against Nifoga with us Germany!The warriors of the Black Empire will soon be driven from our borders, and we will soon be able to return home! "

The cheers of the crowd suddenly suffocated, and a stronger vitality began to brew in their eyes.

"This is the last period of darkness before dawn. It is also the day before the dawn of victory. Sintra needs your hard work and overcome all difficulties. We need to unite in the face of difficulties, and we need to face Support each other during challenges and support each other when breaking down barriers. We need to respect and understand everyone's contribution."

"I assure you that the days now will be over and we will be victorious!"

Every time Lann said a word, the eyes of the people brightened.After he yelled out the last one, the crowd fell silent for a while, and then burst into cheers that almost broke through the clouds in the sky.

"Cintra! Cintra! Cintra!!!"

"Long live Lannister!! Long live the Lion of Cintra!!!"

Mossack looked at Lann's back with a smile and turned to cheer the crowd, and seemed to see the former first queen of the North who became famous at a young age and was shining brightly.

[No, Lane has surpassed His Majesty Calanthe.The road he is walking on now is more difficult, but also broader.He and Ciri, the two of them will surely lead Cintra to a higher position. 】

The old Druid thought so.He stayed in Sintra in order to teach Ciri's mother, originally he just hoped that he could train a powerful disciple of the magic source.In the end, by accident, he formed a bond with this country that doesn't like magic, and later became Lan and Ciri's first teacher.

He also firmly believes that he will be able to witness the rise of a more powerful king in the future.

【It's just that the fertility of this demon hunter is really a problem...】 Thinking of this, Mossak's brows furrowed again, 【Research on the mutation of the demon hunter must be put on the agenda. 】

Seeing Lan turning his head back, the old druid immediately stretched his eyebrows again, showing a kind smile.

Let the public witness Lane's return and stimulate a higher level of cohesion and morale. Mossak's goal today can be regarded as achieved.The old druid then led the returning crowd to the interior of the garrison, and vines grew automatically to separate the crowd wherever they passed.And the people were also very cooperative, people were crowded outside the vines, but inside the vines they restrained themselves from taking a step further.

The soldiers who followed Lane held their heads high. As guards, they accompanied the lion of Cintra across half of the northern border and brought him back safely. This is an honor.At the same time, they also secretly made up their minds to achieve even more glorious glory on the battlefield in the future than they are now.

Everyone in the Snake faction looked at Lan En in amazement.

"Although I know Lann the earliest, I have never followed him back to Sintra." Colgrim, who met Lann in Temeria, couldn't help sighing at this moment, "I have heard rumors about him, although I Expecting his return to Sintra would be dramatic, but I didn't expect it to be this dramatic."

The eyes of the people were all focused on Lan En, but occasionally they glanced at the members of the Snake Sect.But for the snake witcher who is used to wandering, these "aftermath" eyes are hot enough.

Immediately afterwards, some somewhat noisy discussions flowed into their ears.A witcher with sharp eyes and ears can easily distinguish them from other useless information.

"Look, are those people with amber eyes demon hunters?"

"That's right, although it's not as powerful and charming as the Earl's eyes, it's on par with Mr. Geralt's."

"No, I think Mr. Geralt is more handsome."

"But the bald demon hunter at the front is really strong, he looks like a strong warrior..."

"With so many demon hunters, isn't Cintra safer? Long live Cintra!"

During these discussions, there were voices from the people, and praise from soldiers who had fought side by side with Geralt.The unpretentious approval and praise in those words made the Snakes feel uncomfortable.

Colgrim tapped the horse's belly and approached Letho: "I think I've started to like this place."

Lei Suo remained expressionless, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"The Demon Hunter Order... perhaps this is the most suitable place."

…………

Compared with three months ago, Brokilon's construction at this moment is more dynamic.The refugees who fled have already found their own living positions here, engaged in logistical work such as weapon making and food processing, and contributed to the war together.

The security here is also stricter.From a small town at the beginning, it turned into a camp after the arrival of the army, and now it has been completely built into a simple fortress, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Not far away, the quartermaster could be seen arguing with a few peddlers. Among those peddlers were not only humans, but also dwarves and halflings.Seeing Lan En and the others passing by, they saluted them together.

Outside the lord's mansion, the old butler Ens had brought his grandson Hardy to greet him at the door.After saluting to Lan En with an excited face, Ernes forcefully asked Hardy to take Lan En to take a shower and change clothes.

He himself went to arrange the accommodation of the four Snake Demon Hunters.The old butler had already known the arrival of the four guests from Mossak, and was ready to welcome them.

The three attendants disbanded on the spot and returned to their respective residences in the mansion to rest.Milva seemed to want to serve Lane with Hardy, but was forcibly dragged away by House.

The accompanying Sintra cavalry were arranged in a row of residences closest to the lord's mansion.They were originally the best soldiers selected from Sintra's current team, and they had experienced enough experience during the three months following Lane.After that, their establishment will not be broken up, and they will continue to exist as Lann's escort.

Everything is well organized.

Soaking in the bathtub, enjoying the moderately powerful massage and scrubbing of the personal servant, Lan sighed comfortably:
"This is the feeling of home."
