From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 339 A title that might have been banned
In front of me is.

High-level vampire, Regis.

To put it humorously - Regis "we".

After subduing Vilgefortz and cleaning the battlefield outside the town of Blochlon, everyone easily found Regis and collected all his parts.

Mossak initially thought it was some kind of advanced material for monsters, so he almost took it away to study it himself.

After Ciri's explanation, Lan decisively kept the "Regis" intact, because he knew the core and most important ability of high-level vampires.

— Immortal.

Not to mention half-charred after being torn apart by hands like this, even if it is completely burned to charcoal or even melted into glass together with the pillar, a high-level vampire can still recover as before if given enough time.

It's just that the recovery time may be hundreds of millions of points longer.

Mossack expressed a keen interest in this.So a small soaking pool was opened in the deepest part of the dungeon, and all kinds of precious monster blood, recovery potions, and even death row prisoners and worthless prisoners were added to it.

The reason why Regis was not dragged back to the Druid's laboratory was because he was worried that he would misunderstand something and blow up his hair immediately after he woke up. The first impression was still very important.

It's a pity that although Regis's body still retains some "alive" characteristics, he still shows no sign of recovery after so many days and so many resources.

This frustrated a series of magic researchers such as Mossack, who was very interested, because they knew that the research could not continue.

Lan is ready to take action.

It is better to awaken such a high-end combat power as soon as possible.

……

Open the system panel.

The last time Lann used skill points was when Mahakam contracted with the Red Dragon. At that time, Lann absorbed the fire magic raw stones specially collected by the Red Dragon for hatching dragon eggs and obtained four skill points.

At that time, he originally had one skill point left, and adding these four, the total was five.

One of the skill points was first contracted to a dragon egg to share the talent of [Chaos Creature]; then another skill point was spent to contract a red dragon, matching the system's demon hunter skill [Metabolism Enhancement].

As for the remaining dragon eggs, since their talents are all one-water [Chaos Creature], and the dragon eggs have no skills, all the skill points used for the contract were returned.

So Lan now still has three skill points.

Lann has been busy recovering Cintra recently and has not collected additional magic items. At the same time, he has been stressing on leveling up to gain experience points without upgrading, so he still only has three skill points.

One of them happens to be used here.

……

"Regis, I am Lann Lannister Ra'anlon, son of the ancient blood."

Regardless of whether the half-carbonized Regis could hear it or not, Lan still took a deep breath and spoke.

No one knows what state a high-level vampire is in. If someone is half-dead and still conscious, and then resists Lan's operation for a while, a lot of experience points will be wasted.

Saving a little is a little.

"Naomi and Ciri should have told you about me, and now I will use my unique 'Ancient Blood Ability' to heal your injuries."

Click on the [Follower] column and spend a skill point to create a blank follower panel.

"As soon as the energy of the ancient blood penetrates into your body, they will repair your body. I need you to cooperate with me as much as possible."

Holding the half of the body with the head in his left hand, Lan's mind sank.

Entourage, contract.

The experience value starts to jump downward.

ones and tens.

Finally, it stopped in the early [-]s.

I don't know if Regis really heard what he said, or if the seriously injured vampire had an instinct to cooperate with all rescue measures driven by the desire to survive. In short, the contract process went smoother than Lan expected.

A brand new panel unfolded in front of him——

[Attendant: Emile Regis Lohreko Tajiv

Gender: Male
Race: High-level vampire

Rating: 1
Talent: Immortality
Health: 1/10000
Mana: 1/5000
inventory: none

Skill column: Bloodline Command, Intermediate Shadow System Magic, Advanced Occultism, Advanced Alchemy, Advanced Botany, Advanced Biology, Advanced Pharmacy, Advanced Geography, Advanced Linguistics, Advanced History, Advanced General Studies, Advanced Art Appreciation

Mission: None]

【Shared follower talent】

[Shared Talent: Immortality Seed]

[Immortality: Under natural conditions, the owner of this talent will not die; under harsh conditions, the owner of this talent will retain the bottom line of health and recover slowly; only irreversible extreme conditions can kill the owner of this talent. 】

The moment his talent was shared, Lann felt an indescribable force begin to flow through his body, begin to merge, and begin to slowly transform and improve his life essence.

His health has not increased, and his other attributes have not improved at all, but a sense of fullness of power emerges involuntarily from every corner of his body.

At that moment, Lann had a thought: I am invincible.

Fortunately, this inflated thought only lasted for a moment.

Lan quickly calmed down and began to think about this talent——

First of all, "invincible" is definitely a joke. As we all know, this is a debuff, and all those who claim to be "invincible" will end up with nothing good.

Among the known existences in the world, there is a leader of high-level vampires whom they call the "Shadow Elder". He holds the method of killing high-level vampires - that is, the Immortal Seed - in his hands.

Secondly, Lann was sure that a wandering businessman who did not want to be named in the multidimensional world could easily kill a high-level vampire.

Thirdly, although it cannot be killed, it does not mean that it cannot be defeated or subdued. The current appearance of Regis can illustrate the problem.

Lan calmed down his mood a little and allowed his reason to return.

If the talent of "Immortal Seed" was really so invincible, then the world would have been ruled by high-level vampires long ago.People will not hide in history under the name of monsters and dare not show up easily.

But if this talent is within yourself, it will be very maneuverable.

At the very least, I will be able to be more relaxed in all future actions.

A little more wasteful.

To say that he is "invincible" from now on is an exaggeration.

As far as the mirror is concerned, I'm invincible.

……

Draw awareness of the changes in your body.

As soon as Lan opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged naked man with gray hair standing up from the pool mixed with the blood of various monsters and healing potions.

His eyes are complicated.

"First meeting, son of the ancient bloodline." Regis's demeanor was calm and generous. "I'm sorry to start our first conversation with such a rude look. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on you."

"Also, thank you for using your magical power to heal me..." Lann shook his head and said seriously: "I haven't thanked you for protecting Ciri yet, Mr. Regis."

Regis showed a gentle smile, his eyes were grateful at first, and then became a little weird.

"Excuse my choice of words, I can't believe what I'm going to say next."

"But." Regis thought carefully, "Why do I feel so...kindly towards you?"

It's a good thing isn't it?

Of course Lann Lann couldn't say this directly, so he talked to Regis in a more tactful way.

Judging from the panel, Regis's attributes are much worse than those of Red Dragon Kelturis and Ice Giant.

But the frontal combat ability is not calculated solely by the panel. The demon hunter's panel strength is less than one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the dragon.

With special racial talents, Regis can not be afraid of any numerical monsters.

Lan also hoped that through the conversation, he could gain some insight into how Regis used his talents and integrated them into his own fighting style.

For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious.

……

But soon, an unstoppable shout broke the calm.

"Lannister!!!"

Then came the curses from the dungeon guard.

Regis smiled slightly: "You seem to have other unresolved matters?"

Lan tilted his head and glanced outside the door: "Although you didn't sleep for long, a lot of things happened recently..."

"I'm sorry, I might have to excuse myself for a moment."

Regis was considerate: "Please help yourself."

This is the deepest part of the dungeon, and it is natural that the prisoners who are imprisoned are the most vicious or those with important strategic value.

The sorceress with short black hair squatted in the corner of the cage, while the sorceress with long flaxen hair grabbed the railing. She started yelling and cursing as soon as she saw Lann inspecting the dungeon, attracting Lann's attention.

They are the imperial sorceresses Fringilla Vigo and Ashley Va Anahin.

Ever since he was captured by Geron outside the city of Leiria, he has been imprisoned here with the magic-blocking golden handcuffs.

Under Lan En's instructions, the guards of the dungeon did not make it difficult for them, but they would not receive preferential treatment.After so many days, their appearance was completely different from a few days ago.

Dirty, decadent, and with a vague sour smell all over his body, there is no trace of the dignity and elegance of a senior warlock.

"Lannister!!" Ashley yelled angrily again.

They were Lan En's second purpose in coming to the dungeon.

Lann walked out of the dark room at the end, the firelight illuminating his shadow.

As the steel shin guards stepped on the ground, the crisp sound of collision echoed in the empty dungeon corridor.

Ashley, who was still yelling angrily just now, suddenly stopped her voice and shrank her neck.

The humiliation of being captured had been brewing during this period, but when the object of her anger suddenly appeared so real and substantial within five steps of her, Ashley suddenly stopped.

It was only at this moment that she seemed to remember that the person in front of her had the power to order the execution of both of them; and even if they were not in a cage, the other party had absolute strength.

The cage seemed to have become a protection at this moment.

"Lannister...Duke." Ashley stopped speaking, but Fringilla Vigo asked at this time.

It is still an honorific.

Ashley suddenly stared at her companion.

They were the only warlocks captured on the battlefield, which meant that Cintra had plans for them, and if they negotiated, their lives could be saved.

For long-lived spellcasters, this is more important than anything else.

"What are you going to do with us?"

Looking at Fringilla who was asking cautiously, and Ashley who was looking scared but still holding her neck.

Lann narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry, I plan to let you go - at least one of you."

……

Although Nilfgaard was temporarily repelled, Lan knew that the stability in front of him was only temporary.

After all, the gap between the strength of the North and the South is still too big.After all, Nilfgaard is a highly centralized militarism with a professional military, and its standing army is several times larger than the improvised levy force in the north.

Although Lann defeated the opponent's army of more than [-] including the heavy cavalry regiment in this battle, Nilfgaard still retained enough effective strength.

In the original history, the North defeated Nilfgaard at the cost of Cintra in the First Civil War.But in just five years, Nilfgaard came back again, and its offensive was far better than before.

The Empire easily annexed Lyria, Livia, Aedirn, and Temeria in the Second Civil War, only to be hampered by extreme hailstorms.

In the end, only Radovid V of Redania used this big hailstorm to annex Kaedwen, consolidate the remaining strength in the north, and barely build a line of defense to resist the black army.

Nilfgaard has plenty of resources and can lose many times; but the North does not have so many opportunities for trial and error.

——This is the difference between the north and the south.

Sintra, which is full of waste and waiting to be revitalized, now needs a relatively stable development period, and currently has no time to fulfill its responsibilities as the "Gateway to the North" again.

If Lann wants to fight against the South in the future, he must first truly integrate the Northern Territory.

In this process of integration and gathering strength, Lann needs Nilfgaard to stay quiet and not come to cause trouble yet.

So these two southern warlocks who would join the northern warlock group in the future caught Lan's eye.

Subdue them and return them to the south.From now on, whether it is to stir up trouble in the south or just to pass on information as a spy, it will all have considerable value.

It's just that although Lan now has two skill points, he needs to leave one as a backup for possible unexpected events in the subsequent Witcher Trial.

Therefore, for the time being, only one sorceress can be signed as a follower.

Looking at the attitudes of the two sorceresses in front of me, out of the perspective of saving experience points, I could only sign with one person.

"Ms. Fringilla Vigo." Lann called out the sorceress's name, causing the figure leaning in the corner holding her knees to tremble slightly.

"Maybe we could talk first."

As for how to sign it?

Ms. Wei Ge, you don’t want to either...

Oh no, the other party is now his prisoner, so using verbal threats seems like a waste of time.

"What are you going to do?!" Fringilla swallowed, and Ashley even screamed in surprise.

The torch in the dungeon swayed, and the light cast Lan's shadow on the wall, which began to twist as the flames steamed.
