From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 369 Oak Seedlings with Three Branches

With the appearance of these three women, the candlelight on the top of the mountain became more intense; at the same time, pious and frightened prayers came up from the bottom of the mountain. If you listen carefully, you can hear the accent of the Temerian region, and the content seems to be in Pray for food and blessing.

Faintly, there were also the cries of young children in fear and struggle.

Along with the prayers and cries, the almost negligible cloth and leaves used to cover the three women flew away; and the Wild Hunt commander holding a giant hammer and shield also began to remove his armor, and the four The figures gradually twisted together...

Ok?
Lan's eyes narrowed.Seeing this, part of his deeply buried memory was awakened, and he was able to guess where this dream scene took place.

However, this presentation is somewhat off-putting...

Before Lan En's eyes could turn critical, he suddenly felt his consciousness lighten again, and his vision seemed to be covered with a veil.

Everything in front of me became completely white, and when it became clear again, I still saw the top of the mountain in front of me.But the wild hunt, the women, and the prayers all disappeared.

A brand new scene appeared in front of me.

Lan's eyes became serious because he saw himself in this new scene.

That was him with the crown, and beside him was Ciri with milky white hair.They held hands and closed their eyes, feeling something hard together, and then their bodies glowed with bright emerald light.

But it was not him and Ciri who really made Lann's eyes change.

Beside them, there was a silver iris and an oak sapling with three branches.

At the same time that Lan En and Ciri activated their abilities, their bodies also lit up with the light that can only be seen when the ancient blood is activated!

The light from the two people, Yihua, and Yishu connected together, and finally shot straight into the sky, tearing open a wide transmission channel in mid-air, and began to cover everything in the field of vision from top to bottom.

……

"Hiss!" Lan gasped and jumped up from the bed as if he had a nightmare.

With a "snap" sound, the wooden needles Corin was knitting suddenly shattered, and the flying wood scratched her hand.Her whole body's spirit also became visibly depressed, and she couldn't stop sweating.

"Duke Lannister?" Corin didn't care about herself. She looked at Lan who was breathing heavily and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?"

Lan calmed down and quickly regained his consciousness and reason.

"I'm fine. I successfully obtained the information I wanted in my dream." Lann said warmly, "Thank you very much for your help."

Corin breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her palms against her chest, which was heaving with tension: "Please don't say that. It's my honor to serve you."

Lann waved his hand: "Please let me be quiet for a while, I need to calm down."

He was still recalling the information in his dream.

This dream is divided into two parts.

The first half is obvious.It provides itself with the "space node that can connect to the Land of Armored Wood" that it needs.Although it was not the Tower of Swifts that he had imagined that Ciri had accidentally discovered in history, it did not exceed his expectations.

The place on the top of the mountain is easy to find, it is in the Velen region of Temeria; if I remember correctly, that place is currently occupied by the three women who just appeared in the dream and were entangled with the Wild Hunt.

They are the three remnant sisters known as the "Ladies in the Forest". They are a group of monsters who disguise themselves as wild gods and use their faith to satisfy their appetites.I had recommended King Foltest to attack them before, but I don’t know how it went.

If he hasn't succeeded yet, he can help Fuertestai now.

The first half of the dream is easy to interpret, but the second half is interesting: judging from the dream, it seems that I asked Ciri to help open the portal.

This is easy to understand if you think about it carefully. After all, if you want to conquer the elves of the Ain El clan, you will definitely have to bring an army there; and you obviously can't support the large teleportation consumption, so you need other ancient blood. Use the power of time travel to help.

But the problem is that he and Ciri are not the only ones who can exert the power of ancient blood!
What's with the silver iris and the three-branched oak sapling?

……

Lan took a deep breath to calm down again.

Some things cannot be denied without avoiding them. Once they are discovered, they must be faced squarely.

First of all, dreams have "intentions".Irises and oak trees definitely refer to people in real life, but I may have never seen them, so I can't give specific images in dreams like Ciri, so I can only use this obscure method. to refer to.

At this stage, the only existing ancient bloods are himself and Xili, and the newly added ancient bloods can only be the continuation of the bloodline of these two people.

If it's not possible for Xili for the time being, then she can only do it herself.

The silver iris is easy to guess, and it is the national emblem of Temeria.He is probably his and Yada's child, the heir to the ancient blood.

As for the oak tree, is he also his own child?Have you left seeds somewhere else...?

Wait, it seems that there are!

A picture appeared in Lan En's mind, and his pupils were shaking.

……

"Lord Lannister?"

Dreamer Corin looked at Lann whose expression changed rapidly and couldn't help but asked with concern, worried that something might go wrong with the Lion of Cintra under her spell.

Lann breathed a long sigh of relief and sorted out his future arrangements.

"I'm fine." Lann shook his head, "I wonder if Ms. Corin has met a Cat-sect demon hunter named Caiaan before? He is my spokesperson in Novigrad, and he should have invited you before. Heading to Sintra.”

"Ah!" Corin exclaimed, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know... I thought he was a liar..."

Lann shook his head. Although he was connected as a [Follower], it did not mean that Keyan had become his own robot. In terms of the implementation of specific affairs, the style of the cat-sect witchers was still not suitable for this kind of task.

"I can understand that Keyan may be more... informal in doing things." Lann chuckled, "So now I want to send you another invitation. I wonder if Ms. Corin is willing to settle in Sinte. Where’s La?”

The result is of course needless to say.

The dreamer is not a carefree demon hunter, and her assets still need some time to sort out.Lan gave her his token, so that Corin could use Novigrad's teleportation array to reach Cintra at any time and get a proper resettlement.

As for himself, he couldn't restrain his restless heart and directly used [Teleport] to return home.

Target - Blochlon City!
-
A bright emerald light spot lit up in the mayor's office, and Levin, who was processing official documents with his secretary, was stunned.He was already very familiar with this kind of light, and he immediately bowed and prepared himself. Watching the light gradually extinguishing, revealing the heroic face inside, he greeted him from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord Duke!"

While respectful, Levin felt a little uneasy in his heart.Why did the Duke come to Brochlon without any notice?Could it be that something happened to him recently that he is still unaware of?
Lan waved his hand: "I asked you to pay attention to the intelligence of the tree spirits before, right? Have you collected any information recently?"

Levin's uneasy heart was immediately soothed: "Yes!"

He answered decisively, and then walked quickly to a huge filing cabinet.Pulling it open, a stack of paper documents taller than a person appeared in front of Lan's eyes.

"My lord, these are all!"

It can be seen from this that Levin is indeed very attentive to his orders, doing everything in detail and never slacking off.

Lan looked at the pile of documents and rubbed his eyebrows: "In these documents, is there any information about... um, the new generation of little tree spirits, or about the two sisters Aisna and Ellie? "

Lan just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect Levin to immediately show a serious expression and start searching in his brain as if he had memorized all the documents.

Ten breaths later, he answered decisively again: "Yes!"

Lan's eyes narrowed.

……

Deep in Brochlon Forest, in the Land of the Oaks, Doon Canal.

The clear spring water emits sparkling golden light under the sunlight, and steams up mist.

There is a slim tree spirit doctor next to the spring cave, running his magic power to make the spring water wrap around his fingertips, practicing magic.

Lan crossed his arms and stood on a thick oak tree that carried five wooden houses. His figure was hidden behind the leaves, looking at the Bloch Dragon Fountain in front of him.

He did not pay attention to the naturally dressed tree spirits, but looked at the three children in the middle of the spring.

Children this young should not be immersed in spring water without any protection, even under supervision.

However, these three children are different.

The magical Brokilon Fountain seems to have its own consciousness, stretching out an illusory hand of water element to hold up the three children, rising and falling with their sleeping breathing like a cradle.

Set against the sparkling sunlight, this scene is actually quite poetic and beautiful.

Lan took a deep breath: "The oak tree with three branches... was found!"

The moment he saw them, he knew those three children were his.Just like himself and Ciri, there is a unique perceptual bond between the ancient blood.

Immediately afterwards, the tenderness in his eyes faded little by little, and anger began to evaporate.That was not for the children, but for the dryads.

"Boom" sounded like thunder on the ground.

Lann no longer concealed his existence and began to unleash his aura to the outside world unscrupulously.The chaotic energy in the forest continued to converge towards his body as if it was collapsing, and even formed a small cyclone; even though he did not use any skills, his eyes began to swallow bright emerald light beams.

The tree spirit clan suddenly became confused.

The tall oak crown seemed to be swaying in the strong wind, and then a water column immediately rose from the Brochlon Spring, spinning in mid-air and shaping a green-skinned woman.

The Lake Fairy held the three children tightly in her arms and screamed loudly.

"Swish, swish, swish," several tree spirit guards immediately gathered here from all directions with bows and arrows in hand, like the wind. The silver-haired and silver-eyed tree spirit queen and her sister Ellie stood in front of the lake fairy and three children like a formidable enemy. In front of him, he held a bow and arrow, his face was stern, and he was ready for battle.

But soon, their expressions became stiff.

A bright emerald light flashed, and Lan, whose face was even colder and even colder than theirs, appeared in front of them.

The Dryad Queen said in surprise: "The son of the ancient bloodline..."

"You stole my bloodline." Lan interrupted them coldly.

"I don't want to hear your explanations. I can know your thoughts behind it without even guessing."

"What you need to know is: in the human kingdom, your behavior is enough to cause an endless war between two countries." Lann took a deep breath, "But from my own values, the alliance between us is just It’s over. You may be able to save your lives, but you must pay a profound price!"

"I will take away my children, they are my blood, and I will not allow them to wander outside. As for you..."

Lann said coldly, without giving the dryad family the slightest chance to choose.

But he didn't notice that the eyes of the dryad queen sisters who were originally facing a formidable enemy gradually changed when they looked at Lann.

They looked at the bright emerald light spots all over Lan's body, the cyclone that continuously absorbed the magic power of the entire Oak Land, and the terrifying aura that the body exuded at all times.

His eyes gradually became fanatical.

"Ancient blood!"

They suddenly interrupted Lann's words and knelt down at a speed that shocked Lann.Following them, all the dryads also worshiped in the most humble manner.

Even the fairy in the lake put down the child gently and bowed far away to Lan En to express respect.

"You succeeded... No, you succeeded. You awakened the power in your body and gained invincible authority." The Dryad Queen shouted with a pious expression, "You will fulfill the ancient prophecy and become the only one who can resist The power of white frost, save this world!"

"We know your anger, and we admit that we had our own intentions when you were weak. We eagerly hope that the weakened tree spirit family can gain a more important position in your camp. Therefore, we steal you by dishonorable means. bloodline."

"However, the amount of ancient blood has also increased! Nurtured by the entire Brokilon Forest, although they are young now, they have begun to awaken the power within their bodies. They will become your powerful arm to save the world in the future. Fight the hoarfrost with you!"

The Dryad Queen did not raise her head: "I know your anger, and the Dryad family must pay the price for their offense."

"The tree spirit will become your personal vassal from now on, and all the assets of Brokilon Forest will become your personal wealth. The wood, minerals, the water of Brokilon, and even us, will all belong to you."

The dryad queen's body was bent down, but the fairy in the lake raised her hands high: "And when these three children grow up, they will become our queen, or even - goddess!"
