After absorbing the heirloom necklace of the Tursek family and obtaining four skill points, Lann used one of the skill points without hesitation to open the blank follower panel, and placed his left hand on the Svan Rij's forehead.

The entourage's contract did not have any light and shadow special effects, and because of this, every inch of Svan Rij's changes was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

First, a rosy blush suddenly appeared on the bloodless face, and then it quickly glowed with vitality like the tender grass moistened by the spring rain.The powerful breathing began to drive the body to tremble, the strong heartbeat began to shake the ups and downs of the chest, and even the dry skin that had not eaten for a long time began to inflate and tighten slightly.

At this moment, Svanrigi gave people the impression that he was a dozing warrior, or a student taking a break. As long as he was awakened by a slight shake, he could get up and start fighting or studying again at any time.

King Bran stretched out his left hand, but he dared not touch his son as if facing a piece of porcelain.Fortunately, Svan Rij's eyelids began to tremble violently, and then he opened his eyes.

"Father?"

The future heir of the Tursek family looked around in confusion: "Is mother safe? Has the chaos subsided? Is it... Master Druid saved me?"

……

Looking at King Bran who was hugging his son excitedly, and Svan Rij who was hugged so excitedly that he was overwhelmed, Lan took a step back and gave this space to the father and son.

Then he began to look carefully at Svan Ridge's system panel.

From a rational point of view, he is completely willing to spend a skill point to rescue Svan Ridge; but from a practical point of view, Svan Ridge is definitely worth Lann's spending of this skill point.

In the original book and the game, East had already died when Sintra was broken, and after the death of King Bran, the archipelago began a fierce competition for heirs.Players can choose the heir they support to support him, which will eventually lead to different endings.

Svan Rij was naturally one of the heirs to the throne at that time.

Before he became king, Svanrigi had always been the image of a mother boy, and he could even be said to be the puppet of his mother Bierna.But when he inherited the throne, the ending he brought was unexpected: after becoming king, Svanrigi immediately disobeyed Bierna and tore up the unequal treaty with Nilfgaard that Bierna asked him to sign , and then brazenly launched a war against the Black Sun Empire, using the blood of the enemy to wash away the shame of almost surrendering, and also shut up all those who questioned him.

Generally speaking, this is a "sleeping" iron-fisted leader. Judging from the excellent king matching mechanism in the northern border, Svan Rij is a rare wise king in this era.It's just that no one has seen his sharpness yet, and he has never shown it in the slightest.

Now, although King Skellige will definitely be succeeded by East, it would be good for Sven Ridge to inherit the throne after East—of course, this has to be discussed again, the young people in the archipelago and Rann have a good relationship There are also many.

And even if he doesn't inherit the throne, Svan Rij's succession to the Tursek patriarch's position in the future can bring great help to Lann.This is Lane's first leader-level entourage in the current contract. If he can use his power to start collecting system tasks like Lane did in Sintra, then the rewards of these tasks will be shared through the system effect of [entourage] to Lane...

Just thinking about it is good enough.

Wait, if you look at it this way, if Rann makes a [follower] contract, the best choice is actually to find the leaders of various forces?
……

On the other side, the druid looked at the resurrected Svan Rij in disbelief, and for the first time questioned his own system of healing spells.

He turned his head, looked at Lan En, thought for a while, and couldn't help but decided to go up to talk to him.

The druid mistakenly thought that the way Lan looked at the system panel was in a daze at Tursek's heirloom necklace, so he took the initiative to explain:
"The Tursek family was founded by Tyr, the son of Hamdor. Legend has it that when he decided to settle on Little Skellige Island, he first needed to hunt and kill a giant bear as big as a mountain. Everyone thought that Tyr would definitely die. , but Tyr then used the fire in the center of the earth to forge the magic weapon, and his mother, the goddess Helene, attached the morning light to his body in the form of runes as a protection, and finally let Tyr kill the giant bear."

"Rune? Guardian?" Lan was really attracted by this topic. He looked at the necklace in his hand, "So this is the legendary treasure that the goddess Helene saved her son from the giant bear?"

The druid nodded: "I just don't know whether the great battle exhausted the power of the necklace, or the future generations have not been able to find a way to activate the runes, making this necklace unable to show the brilliance in the myth."

"But now it has blessed its descendants and brought Svan Rij back to life. Perhaps this is the protection given by the ancestors to future generations."

Lan showed a teachable expression, and greeted the druid with the attitude of a junior: "Skellige's culture is fascinating, and I admire your profound knowledge. I am Lan of Sintra, Lan. Lannister Ray Allen, I don't know who you are?"

"Fetov, an old man who often passively accepts Mossak's compliments to you." The druid named Feitov said humorously, watching Lann's face with just the right amount of embarrassment in satisfaction.

"But now it seems that Mossak's praise for you is even a little conservative. Although there are various restrictions, your power is subversive to the entire healing magic system-to be offensive, I even think Goddess Freya's miracles can't do what you just did."

Lane didn't dare to answer this sentence.

They were chatting and exiting the wooden house at this time, and Feitov also reached out to greet his apprentices to come out, giving space to the father and son inside.

Fetov was about to say something more, but another druid suddenly ran up not far away, and Lan was familiar with that appearance.

It was Gresmit who was in charge of receiving Lan at the beginning and promised to find information about the fallen druids for him.

"Fetov, I was looking for you everywhere." He turned his head while saying hello, "Lan is here?"

The young man with lion pupils nodded to Gracemeeter.

Gresmit began to explain his reason for coming: "Lan, you know that there is a traitor among our druids. If you want to know the identity of the other party, you still need an old guy with sufficient qualifications."

"And Feitov is such an experienced old guy. Almost every druid in the Ring of Oaks has come into contact with him over the years. He is even a sky master who can control the climate!"

"Your words seem to be praising me, but your wording offended me." Feitov shook his head, and seemed to be used to this companion's behavior, "Fortunately, Svan Ridge's injury now It's all right, otherwise I wouldn't have time to listen to your distressing words."

Unexpectedly, Gresmit's focus was immediately misdirected, and he exclaimed: "What did you say? That little guy's injury is healed? Impossible! Have you researched some new herbal medicine or some new medicine?" Is it magic? Let’s have a good chat, and I can exchange my latest achievements with you!”

At this point, Gresmit glanced around and immediately caught Lane: "Little lion, please return my notes to me first, and I will copy a new one for you after a while—Fetov, this is My latest achievement, let me tell you how you cured the little guy from the Tursek family!"

Fetov shook his head again, and waved his hand to get his companion's attention back: "I didn't cure Svanrigi—oh wait, don't break in! This is too rude!"

The celestial master grabbed his reckless companion and reminded this extremely enthusiastic companion to calm down: "Bran and Easter are also inside, and now is the time for the injured to communicate with their relatives... let's talk about it first." Why are you looking for me. Although you are usually a reckless person, it must be something important to come to me when you know that I am busy."

Grasmeet kept looking into the wooden house, obviously thinking that what was going on inside was the "important" thing.

However, under Feitov's repeated urging, he finally patted his head and said:

"This has something to do with Lane too. He just came back from the Velca stronghold with Easter, and brought us news-a traitor appeared in the Ring of Oaks, he joined the Svalblo sect, and kidnapped We were three apprentices who had been thought to have experienced accidents outside. Fortunately, they were rescued by Lan this time. You are old, and I think you should know the identity of that traitor..."

Not finished.

This time, Feitov screamed and interrupted Gresmit: "What did you say? Lane rescued three apprentices!"

……

In a hut that had been rearranged to heal the wounds of three druid apprentices, Feitov looked at the wounded who were sleeping soundly, with disappointment on his face.

The three young men who were almost killed as blood sacrifices looked extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.Fortunately, Gresmit is outstanding in the two disciplines of healing and herbal medicine, so they can stabilize their situation.

At the same time, other druids who heard the news rushed over. They were enough mentors to be particularly concerned about the rescued apprentices, and even formed a temporary exchange meeting to study how to make the three apprentices most efficient and without sequelae. Restore.

So it wasn't the physical condition of the three apprentices that made Feitov hard to hide his disappointment, but that he didn't find what he was looking for inside.

Gresmit explained to Lann: "Fetov's apprentice went to Moskogen Forest not long ago to find a rare herb, but he never came back. Feitov has been blaming himself because the apprentice went to It was there for his experiments..."

"Fetov searched for a long time in the forest but found nothing. He was depressed for a while, and even planned to stop his research and leave the sad place of Oak Ring. Until Svan Rij was sent by the Tursek family, he It took a while longer to treat the wounded."

Feitov thought that his apprentice was also among the three rescued by Lann, and he came here full of expectations.At this moment, the mood was ups and downs, and there was only sadness on the face.

But after all, he was a long-lived and powerful druid, and he quickly adjusted his mentality—at least on the surface, he no longer showed worrying grief.

"I just have a little hope in my heart...but maybe there are more apprentices in the hands of the fallen druid, or there are other apprentices who haven't waited to be rescued..."

Speaking of this, Feitov's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he said: "According to Lane's description, I only think of one person——Attis."

"He was a young man brought back to the Ring of Oaks as an orphan."

"He is very sensitive to natural energy and has a high talent, but he is particularly interested in the combat skills of the archipelago, and likes to wield knives and sticks. We didn't pay attention at first, after all, our apprentices always have to learn a thing or two before setting out to travel. Martial arts at your fingertips, just academic methods are not enough to deal with the danger."

"Until later, Artis began to show a strong interest in monster domestication and even biological transformation projects. His research became extreme and went against the balance of nature, which was reprimanded by his mentor."

"The last time I heard about him, he was planning to start a project about recreating the Velka Berserker. For this reason, he went to the ruins of the village of Vulhala alone, hoping to obtain more secrets of the cult, and then Never came back."

Fetov sighed: "He was less than 80 years old when he disappeared, very young. We always thought he had died accidentally, but judging from the current situation, it seems that there are some other secrets in it."

Fetov went on to add: "Attis's mentor is my former research partner. He has been blaming himself for his education methods because of the disappearance of his apprentices, and he thinks it is his own fault. He should now live in seclusion on Udvik Island , from time to time as a consultant to the Todaloch family. I will go to him to learn more about Artis."

"Even if my guess is wrong and the fallen traitor is not Artis, the disappearance of Artis is definitely inseparable from that traitor. We can also have one more partner who hopes to find out the mystery of the apprentice's disappearance."

When it came to the topic of the disappearance of the apprentice, even though Feitov tried his best to hide his emotions so as not to disturb others, his face still showed unconcealable sadness.

Lan En solemnly thanked: "Then please, Mr. Feitov."

Then he assured: "I am deeply sorry about your apprentice. I will ask Kratz to send people to help find it. I also have quite a few fellow demon hunters who are proficient in search and rescue. I hope I can find some clues."

"Even if... we can't find him, we can still find a way to let him go through the last journey with dignity, and at the same time not let those who hurt him live in peace."

Fetov hesitated to speak to Lan, as if he didn't want him to make too much effort.But in the end, he sighed and asked for his troubles.

……

Before Feytov left to find Attis' mentor, he also visited Svanridge's cabin.

Although with Lane's help, Svan Ridge has fully recovered, but out of a serious and responsible attitude, he still intends to do a final examination for Swar Ridge.

Lan went back with Fetov, and when they opened the door, they saw that Kratz was reporting something to King Bran, and Easter sat aside to make some additions from time to time.

These topics are the twists and turns of Easter's journey, including the changes of the Dimen family, the Drummond family, and the Svalblo sect.

Obviously, after his son recovered completely from the danger of his life, King Bran once again returned to the cause of supporting his brother to squeeze out his throne.

Svanrigi sat beside King Bran, observing his father's words and deeds intently, as if he was learning.

When Lane and Feitov came in, they attracted everyone's attention.

The hottest one among them was Svan Ridge, and Lan even felt that the way Svan Ridge looked at him at this moment was the same as when he looked at King Bran.

Although he has already contracted so many followers, Lan has already experienced all kinds of gazes, and it is not uncommon for them to be more exaggerated than this moment.But Lan still felt uncomfortable when this kind of gaze was projected from the eyes of someone of Svan Rij's status and kinship.

Fortunately, King Bran got up immediately to block Svan Rij's sight.The excited father came up with his arms open in a bear hug. Judging from the force with which he slapped Lan En's back, he could feel the turmoil in his heart at the moment.

"Lan, if it wasn't for you, I would have almost lost my only son!"

Lan looked at East, who was also excited and scared, and hugged King Bran with a smile: "We are family, aren't we?"

Feitov looked at the atmosphere in the room, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "You seem to have something serious to talk about, do you need me to avoid it?"

King Bran did not let Druid leave, but also solemnly thanked Feitov.After listening to Lane explain that Fetov would help find the fallen druid, he expressed his thanks again.

This is exactly one of the topics discussed by King Bran, Easter, and Kratz just now: how to completely clear the Svalblo Sect in a practical sense.

To accomplish this goal, the corrupted druid who escaped must be dealt with.

However, King Bran and Kratz have the same opinion. He thinks this matter is very important, but there are still more important things that are prioritized before this.

"I plan to summon the heads of the seven major families again in the near future, and at the same time start preparations for the coronation ceremony of Easter." King Bran said.
