From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 252 Lan: Take a deep breath and stabilize your mind

The ice giant bowed to Lann, like a courtier meeting the king, and like a believer praying to the Supreme.

But anyway, everyone knows - Skellige's ice giants will no longer be a problem for the Skelliges.

Harold's eyes were in a trance when he woke up just now, and he couldn't believe his eyes.If someone told him that East killed the ice giant to save him, he might question it a few times, let alone the scene where the ice giant bowed to Lann?
East waved his hand to tell the guards beside him to put away their weapons. Even he had to take a few deep breaths to calm down.

Cintra's attendants and soldiers expressed their respect and emotions in the most direct way. They bowed directly to Duke Lannister, as if they were going to compete with the ice giant for their loyalty to the Lord.

The expressions on the faces of the witchers, druids, and sorceresses are even more exciting, and their emotions are also turbulent and indescribable.

"Grumble-"

At this moment, a scorched oak statue suddenly rolled out from the Ice Giant's tattered leather armor that had just been burned by the flames.

This statue looks like a bear and a man, with teeth and claws.It should have been the point where one could feel chills all over one's body just by looking at it, but at this moment, after being burned by the flames, his face was completely changed, and he could no longer see a little vision.

There were many people present who were watching all directions, and their sights were focused on the ice giant. Now that they saw this statue that rolled out of the ice giant, they felt suddenly enlightened.

String up.

Feytov's expression was complicated, and he seemed to be lamenting and relieved: "I probably know where Artis has gone, that traitor to the way of nature, the last follower of the Svalblo sect..."

He looked at the ice giant who had cast the druid spell, and seeing the other party's respectful expression towards Lann, he shook his head and swallowed the rest of his words.

Then I saw that the Ice Giant might feel that the kneeling posture was uncomfortable, so he adjusted his posture a little bit, and stepped on the charred oak statue under his feet with a "baji" and crushed it into the soil.

……

The appearance of the statue was naturally seen by Lann. The ice giant who could use druid magic was not recorded in the previous game or the history of this world, so he had already guessed about this vision.

It was not until he saw the oak statue of Svalblo that his guess was confirmed.

But Lann wasn't worried, because just as he was recovering the ice giant, system notifications sounded one after another——

[Mission - Wrath of the Glacier - Completed]

[Mission - Silent Rage - Completed]

[Task level increased by +1]

Two tasks are completed in succession.The former appeared when East invited Lann to fight against the ice giants, but it was shelved later because of the replacement of the king selection plan. Lann thought that there would be no chance to complete it again; the latter was proposed by King Bran at the time. The initiative to exterminate Svalblo and become king appeared when the initiative was launched. Later, because the extermination of the cult was not clean enough, it failed to enter the settlement, but the actual progress was enough for East to become king, so it was shelved.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, these two tasks were completed together by chance. At the same time, because these two tasks were close to the level of the main task, Lan En forcibly filled up the experience that had just been consumed and let him upgrade to another level.

The joy in his heart is no longer enough for outsiders, and now Lan En is looking at the system panel of the ice giant, and the pride in his heart is even more in vain.

[Follower: Jotun
Gender: Male

Talents: Ice, Magic Source

Experience Points: 0/1000

Skill column: ice blood, alpine blood, fast metabolism, overlord's command, druid system spell low level
Mission: None]

[Shared Follower Talent: Magic Source]

[Magic source: the total amount of magic power increases by 100%]

Just looking at the basic attributes of this system panel is enough to make people feel refreshed.

Breaking the four-figure health value, the strength and defense brought by it are definitely enough to form an army by one person. This is also the combat effectiveness that the Skelliges have verified for the ice giants through countless years of defeat.

The unique dual talents, as to why this happens, everyone understands.Although the mana value is much lower than the life value, it has already surpassed most spellcasters, at least stronger than the female night demon Nanomi that Lann had contracted with before.

At the same time, Lann also noticed that the name and race of the ice giant did not have a suffix in brackets, unlike the form [Skellige bear (human)] that would be displayed after Bill's transformation; at the same time, the ice giant's There is no [Berserker Transformation] item in the skill column.

From this point of view, Artis is indeed dead.Lan can now basically recount the opponent's behavior. All the previous turmoil is probably a grand sacrifice dedicated to the evil god Svalblo, with the purpose of turning Attis into an unprecedented ice giant berserker.

I have to admire the boldness of this plan and the horror behind it: a super monster that can dominate Skellige for thousands of years with its physical body alone, possesses the magic-level druid's spell-casting talent and a complete spell-casting system, just thinking about it will make you Heart trembling.

It's just that now it seems that this process is obviously accidental.According to Easter's narration, the size of this ice giant was once again elevated to more than ten meters. This is obviously the effect of Artis' strengthening. He used the evil god and his own spells to create an unparalleled body.

But now Atis's soul not only did not occupy the giant's body, it was just a wedding dress, and even the IQ and spellcasting ability were not inherited by this monster.

This can be seen from the panel. Although the Ice Giant has a huge mana value brought by the [Magic Source] talent, the [low-level] Druid system spells are simply not enough to exert this huge mana power. .

Aside from the fact that the ability to summon a blizzard is the innate ability of the ice giant, Lann estimated that the spell that this monster knows is the spell that turns oak into a long stick.

I don't know if this guy can learn spells in the future, or just throw it back to Mossak...

By the way, how many things does Mossak have on hand now?

……

Colgrim was very courageous, he ran over lightly, thought for two seconds, and finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and patted the ice giant's calf.

The touch is like a layer of dragon leather wrapped on the thousand-year-old mountain rock, which is hard but resilient, and at the same time exudes a slight freezing air like ice.Colgrim, who had taken the time to slash the ice giant several times in the battle just now, would never doubt the defensive power of this muscle.

The actions of the Snake Demon Hunters seemed to press a switch, and the druids, sorceresses, and the rest of the Demon Hunters all surrounded them, either out of pure curiosity or with the intention of academic inquiry , all looked up and down at the only powerful monster in the world.

There was only one exception, and that was Gerd.

After the bear sent the witcher to look at the two ice giants with surprise eyes, he didn't start to fight like the others, and he didn't start discussing the collection of tissue samples like the sorceress and the druid—he just stepped back two step.

"Lord Harold has been rescued, and the ice giant has been recovered, can we go back?" Gerd asked Lane.

He seemed to be returning home: "I originally planned to retire, but I didn't expect to be able to participate in such a legendary battle now—hey, Ice Giant!"

As he spoke, Gerd began to laugh.

Lane frowned slowly.

Lann didn't feel uncomfortable because of Ged's words. He knew in his heart that Ged's intention to retire was irreversible. Although he was reluctant, he would still send his blessings.

It's just that he suddenly remembered that when he contracted the ice giant just now, he almost failed.

At that time, after a whole level of experience was exhausted, the ice giant's sense of resistance was still very strong. If it hadn't been for the sudden increase of a section of experience at a critical moment, Lann might have lost everything.

In this case, the increase in experience is naturally due to the followers.At first, Lan thought that it was Ace who was on Thaned Island, who was doing tricks again, or that the cat sent the demon hunter Kayan in Novigrad to work hard, but when he just had a quick glance, he found that The rank of Svan Rij, stationed on Little Skellige, has suddenly risen.

Could it be that this young man received a job at the main task level within a few days of becoming an attendant, or did he take the initiative to imitate the appearance of other members of the "Lion Pride" before Lan En taught him and began to help the weak? ?
Lan En thought so and clicked on Svan Ridge's follower panel. After seeing the attributes and tasks displayed on it, his face immediately changed.

[Follower: Svanrigi Ann Tursek

(slightly)

Health: 187/230
(slightly)

Mission: Defense of Tursek]
-
In Svanrigi's original vision, his uncle (Ester) and cousin (Lan) went to support the Todaloch family, and then his father led the army to encircle and suppress the thousands of people who troubled the entire Skellige. For an ice giant in the middle of the year, this whole process would take a month anyway.

Before Bran left, he asked Thorgil to take good care of Svan Rij. It just so happened that there were certain things that Svan Rij tried to avoid in the castle of the Tursek family, so the future heir of the Tursek family simply He took advantage of the opportunity to live in the castle of his elders.

Torgil has not asked about political affairs for many years, but Easter and Bran both studied with him when they were young, so what happened in Little Skellig Island during this time period needs to be resolved by the lord, Sfan Rui Ji will humbly ask Torgier for his opinion and respect his ideas.

Svan Rij feels that he has gained a lot.In fact, he had very little communication with Bran before. After all, Bran went to sea all year round, and most of the time he studied etiquette and social lessons with Bierna.

Torgil was surprised to find that this little guy who used to follow his mother had insight into many things, and he was also skilled when leading his subordinates, and his execution ability was very high. Gradually, his relationship with Svan Rij became better and better. , often sending his own private army to go out with Svan Rij to deal with affairs in the territory.

However, that day, after Svan Ruiji led the soldiers to investigate an area that was said to be haunted by water ghosts, before they approached the castle, they suddenly heard the screams of killing.

He stepped forward quickly, and what caught his eyes was an extremely arrogant Black Sun banner, and hundreds of elite soldiers wearing Black Sun armor!
Nilfgaardians!Why now?Almost all of Skellige's forces are concentrated on Udvik Island, when the defense is most empty!
Torgil himself was an independent lord who broke away from the family, and there were no more than a hundred guards around him.The Skellige can face enemies several times larger than themselves on the sea, but their combat effectiveness on the plains is mediocre.

"That's Svanrigi, the prince of Skellige!" Nilfgaardian soldiers saw Svenrigi as soon as he appeared. The new king has been crowned.

"He's the son of a pirate! Let him pay off his father's debts first!" Some of the Black Sun soldiers came out immediately and fought with Svan Rij.Fortunately, Torgil was really devoted to Svan Rij, and the guards he sent to follow were all elites, who would keep him safe for a while.

"Svanrigi, go away!" Seeing the younger generation being involved in his own battle, Torgil who was not far away hastily shouted, "It's just a lamb in the city of the golden tower. I robbed them before. How many times do you know, nothing will happen!"

Hearing Torgil's shout, the eyes of the Nilfgaardian soldiers turned red, and the weapons in their hands became more powerful. Even some of the soldiers who had besieged Svanrigi turned back.

"Hurry up and return to the castle, don't fight recklessly! I will find a way to contact Master Druid to recall part of the troops! Nilfgaard is no longer the same. They have swept across most of the north and are Lann's formidable enemy!"

Svan Rij is not as confident as Thorgil.Bierna has been paying attention to the flow of the aristocratic class in the mainland all year round, and naturally brought back a lot of information. Svan Rij learned from it, and knew that Nilfgaard is not what it used to be.

Responding to Svanrigi's words, the loyal guards around him continued to fall while attacking the Black Sun Banner. Torgil seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, looking at the well-equipped and fearless enemies in front of him. Soldier.

"Really? Nilfgaard... Has it become a giant?" Only at this time did Torgil realize that the lambs in front of him were no longer the lambs that cried out under their plunder.

"But even in the face of giants, I can cut something!"

Thorgil laughed.

"Ugh-"

A dull horn sounded suddenly, and the sound made Svan Rij's hair stand on end.

Sure enough, there was an exaggerated sound of breaking wind immediately next to his ears, as if facing a typhoon on the coast, even the sunlight above his head was blocked for a moment.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw a boulder larger than a human flying towards the castle where he had lived for several days at the speed of an arrow. With a "bang", a huge gap appeared in the wall of the castle.

Followed by the second, third, and fourth boulders, each stone will bite off a piece of the castle wall like a cake.Svanrigi watched half of the castle collapse like a sandcastle hit by waves.

What made his eyes tear open was that Torgil was still under the castle!He was just buried in dust and stones all over the sky!

At this moment, the soldiers of the Nilfgaardians and the archipelago were still fighting, and many Black Sun soldiers were affected by the attacks of these catapults, but their morale was even higher.The person who was smashed to the ground shouted in a voice that could not be heard from behind:
"One more round! Turn this castle into ruins and burn it to the ground! Let these pirates taste the taste of losing their homes!"

Svan Rij's eyes suddenly turned red.At this moment, there is no need to think about retreating. No matter whether Thorgil is dead or alive, the honor of the islanders and the responsibility of being a junior will not allow him to take half a step back.

With a loud roar, all the martial arts that he had taught under the sword technique all appeared in his mind at this moment and merged into his muscles.He strode into the battle group from the rear protected by the team, and for a while he cooperated well with the guards, killing several Nilfgaardian soldiers in a row.

However, although there are only a hundred Nilfgaardians, the number of islanders is even smaller. In addition, most of them were killed and injured by the trebuchet attack before, Svan Rij's team eventually became smaller and smaller, and the formation was like waves. The sailboats in the middle are in jeopardy.

"Torgil is dead, catch the son of the pirate! Let the pirate king taste the taste of losing his son!"

The people of Nilfgaard became more and more excited, and they rushed up like a tide.

Later, they saw an emerald light suddenly glowing on Svan Rij's body.
