From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 57: Lord’s Obligations

Several tree spirits went deep into the woods and stopped at a place where they could be seen from a distance, and the demon hunter estimated the distance and nodded at Rann.

“I am the Lannister Count of Sintra, and since you say you are my subject, then you are my property, do you understand? ”

“Now tell me, your name? Also, who are you? ”

The huntress, who was shrunk on the ground, glanced in the direction of the tree spirits, her whole body shook, and nodded hurriedly.

Judging from what she had just heard, if it weren’t for the kindness of this Lord Count, she would definitely have been poisoned by the tree spirits.

She knelt down and said, “You saved me, and you will be my lord from now on.” I am Maria Balin of Soden. ”

Lane nodded, letting Geralt watch over the new lord a little, and walked in the direction of Axina and them.

Behind him, came the sound of Geralt talking to the girl.

“Boy, you shouldn’t have poached in the Dryad’s territory. How old are you? ”

“I’m sixteen… I’ve always lived like this, growing up. ”

As he walked, several words inexplicably began to line up in Rann’s mind: Brochlon, Dryad, Sixteen, Trap, Poacher, Soden, Maria Balin.

There is a sense of déjà vu.

Rann frowned: Maria Balin… Mirva Ballinger… Mirva… Mirva?

A name flashed in his head: “Red Kite” Mirva!

Lane turned and walked back, startling the two who were talking again.

“Tell me why you showed up here and how you started poaching, immediately! ”

Maria Balin stammered and began to recount her experience:

Born into a family of rangers in Soden, she learned her hunting skills from her father. After his father’s death, he lived hunting in the north, harvested in many royal hunting grounds and forbidden forests, and was found by guards, but except for this time, he was able to escape every time.

The scrutiny told by the girl is almost exactly the same as what Rann saw in the original book in her previous life, right, it is her.

Rann looked at the resolute maiden as if he saw her future.

It was supposed to be tonight, after the sixteen-year-old girl was caught in a noose trap of the dryads, she was supposed to hang in the cold night, and then she was discovered by the dryads and laid down by Ms. Aisna herself, who accepted her and retained her human identity, giving her the name “Mirva” – which means “red kite” in the ancient elven language.

In the future, Mirva will join Geralt’s girl-hunting squad after Geralt loses Ciri again, and dies as a result.

Lane knew even more how stunning this girl actually was.

Mirva has two main achievements.

The first is to transmit information to the tree spirits as humans and complete the infiltration work. As a spy, he thwarted four human expeditions against Blochlon.

Second, in order to cover his teammates in the final decisive battle to save Ciri, he single-handedly suppressed all the archers of the entire mercenary group on the opposite side with his life, almost creating a vacuum of long-range attacks.

This is a top talent in many fields. To express Mirva’s combat power in a more intuitive numerical value: in the Quint card designed with the characters of the “Witcher” series, Milva’s attack power is “10”.

And in the Güntre camp of the Squirrel Party, there are two Mirva’s legendary gold cards.

Gold card, two.

Looking at Maria Balin, who was worried with her head bowed in front of her, Lane couldn’t help but sigh.

After so long, I haven’t had time to play cards, but I didn’t expect to collect the real person of the gold card first.

Suddenly a general, Rann’s already good mood for signing the peace agreement became lighter, and he walked happily towards the tree spirits, and saw that they were also whispering something.

Ellie, Dunka, and Brian’s expressions seemed solemn.

“Ms. Aisna, I’m done with my business. I hear if there are any other personal matters you would like to discuss with me? ”

The Dryad Queen nodded.

Ellie took out a water bladder, and Dunka and Brian each took out a silver cup for water.

Lan’s eyes suddenly lit up, quite expectant, thinking that it was the water of Blochron.

It’s a pity that the cat pie badge on his chest didn’t light up, and the system didn’t respond accordingly when he took the silver cup.

Seeing the change in Lan’s expression, Aisna covered her mouth and chuckled: “It’s just a celebratory wine to celebrate the signing of our contract, and you seem to be looking forward to the water of Blochron.”

When you were in Duane Carnal, you seemed to have fleeting magical fluctuations in your body after drinking the water of Blochron, but you did not seem to be a magic source. ”

Aisna’s eyes playfully: “So, I guess the water of Blochrons has benefits for your body that we don’t know about.” Right, Son of the Ancient Bloodline? ”

Rann’s heart clicked, but he glanced quietly at the three tree spirits, who seemed to have no intention of attacking.

And Aisna didn’t seem to show any irritation after revealing her secret, which made Rann’s heart slightly more secure.

Lane smiled awkwardly: “Fate is always wonderful, and I didn’t know that my bloodline would have such magical power, perhaps this is why fate guided me to come to Blochlon.” ”

Aisna stepped aside and gently stroked the hanging branch, as if a mother was caressing a coquettish child.

She said: “Yes, fate is always wonderful. My daughter had hoped to have a child with Gwyndred, but unfortunately the Demon Hunter couldn’t bring him anything. And many years later, he brought us the son of the ancient bloodline.

At first I thought Princess Hillella was the one I was looking forward to, the one who twisted the Dryad. It turned out that she was not. ”

The branches swayed slightly as if spiritually under Aisna’s touch, rustling in a breeze.

The Dryad Queen looked at Lan, whose face changed, and said in an almost chanting tone: “The sword of destiny has two blades, and you are one of them. It turns out that you are the son of the ancient bloodline we are looking for, Len Lannister Rayanlun. ”

“Originally, I was going to put this in the terms of the peace treaty. But for your human nobles, this does not seem very decent? So I decided to negotiate with you on a private request instead:

I hope to get the Blood of the Ancients to join the Dryads, Lan. ”

The Dryad Queen’s tone was indescribably soft, a tone that had never been shown in the face of humans.

And Ran, who was listening to all this, almost lost control of his expression, and a conjecture slowly enlarged in his mind.

“Uh… The Water of Blochronn is not effective against me, and if I’m not mistaken, the Dryads don’t have any other conversion magic, so if I’m not mistaken…”

Aisna said gently, “The Dryads aren’t the only way to increase their population, you know. ”

Lane wanted to talk and stop, stopped talking and wanted, and thought repeatedly.

“In principle, I’m fine. ”

For the peace and friendship of the town of Blochlon, this is a necessary sacrifice!
