From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

In the early morning of the next day, Hardy knocked on Lann's room with the toiletries, and found that his young master had already gotten up and dressed.

The window was closed, making the room dark in the early morning. In his left hand, Lan held a magic crystal that the butler brought over yesterday. It was said that it was a component used by a warlock for remote communication.

Failed to absorb skill points.

Sighing and putting down the crystal, Lan began to meditate. Is it because I haven't been able to become a demon hunter and haven't absorbed magic power, or is it because I need magic items to contain more powerful magic power, or my guess was wrong from the beginning?

"Master, it's time for you to wash up. I'm going to visit Her Majesty the Queen today." Hardy said softly, watching his master's love for the small magical objects on the table, and said, "You know, Master, Wanwusang..."

"Don't talk like your grandpa." Lan waved his hands impatiently, seeing Hardy's low brow and suppressed smile, he tapped his head with his knuckles gently.

"By the way, tell your grandpa to help me collect information about demon hunters while collecting magic items. If any demon hunters appear in or around Sintra recently, please notify me immediately."

"Demon hunter?" Hardy was stunned for a moment, "Is it... the mutants made by those warlocks?"

Lane hesitated to speak, a little wanting to correct Hardy's thinking. But what the young servant said was exactly what ordinary people in the mainland and even everyone except the demon hunters thought about the demon hunter group.

All kinds of gossip and gossip make ordinary people respect and fear them, while the group of warlocks who know the inside story treat them with contempt and fear.

Lan sighed: "Yes, try to collect their information as much as possible. I'm very interested in demon hunters recently."

"Also." Lann hesitated this time, really not sure if he should do this, "By the way, let me ask someone, there is a person called 'Mirror Master'."

"Yes." Hardy didn't know what the name meant, but only agreed to the master's request.

Mirror Master? What a strange name.

Hardy thought for a while and reminded something else, "One more thing, master. The attendants selected for you have arrived, and they are all waiting for you downstairs, do you want to meet them now?"

"It's all here now?" Lann walked to the window door.

I saw ten teenagers with different appearances and postures standing in the courtyard. They stood in the courtyard restrainedly, looking at the surrounding environment excitedly from time to time, and tried their best to restrain this excitement.

It gives the general impression that it doesn't look very smart.

"Let them all stand first." Lane said, "They have passed Enns' test, but there is still my test."

Knight attendants, or retinues, are the future lineage troops for Lann now. Lan En's thought at the beginning was that the expensive and the fine are not expensive, and he did not intend to train these attendants according to the methods of this era. Travelers have their own methods.

"Stand first?" Hardy asked suspiciously, apparently not understanding what his lord Earl meant, "Stay still?"

Lane affirmed: "Stay still until I come back."

Hardy hesitated to speak, but still couldn't hold back: "Master, do you want to train them to be guards?"

Lan shook his head: "Not only. I expect more from them than that."

After washing, Lan came to the Royal Castle, and was led by the waiter to the castle's reception room, where Queen Calanthe was receiving the generals of the army.

From time to time, the queen's laughter and the general's sonorous slogans could be heard from the closed door of the reception room.

The queen who was born in the royal family is dignified and elegant, but she has the boldness and chicness of a samurai who likes to fight in person all the year round, which makes her have a particularly strong cohesive force in the army.

After a while, the closed door opened, and the general Lan Enchao walked out of it nodded his head.

"Good day, General Weatherkid."

"Good day, Lord Lannister - I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."

In the living room, the queen seemed to be in a good mood, and the attendant at the side was bringing a new wine glass and filling it up in front of Lane.

"Little Lann, my little lion, finally remembered to meet my aunt today?"

"What you said made me sad. When will I not come?" Lan En replied with a smile, pointing to the general who had just left, "What's the matter, aunt, the battle is not going well?"

"The Nilfgaardians have never been a threat to us." Calanthe said proudly.

Lan En sighed inwardly. Calanthe became famous at a young age, and her wrists were also headstrong. Perhaps it was this kind of arrogance that finally ruined her and Cintra.

"I came today with a request." Lan saw the interested look in Queen Calanthe's eyes, "I would like to ask you to arrange a position for me in the army... Yes, I want to go to the battlefield."

"Impossible." Calanthe refused, "You are only fifteen years old, and you are not even married. I don't want the newly established Lannister family to go extinct."

The queen stood up and put a hand on Lann's shoulder, "I know the reason why you want to do this, to avenge your father, and also to make the Lannister famous again. You want to get your own glory, and I'll start from you You can tell by your performance in the tournament. You are exactly like your father."

"But it's not the time yet." The queen shook her head.

No, my father's reason for being so brave and good at fighting is definitely different from mine.

Lan En wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Queen raising her hand: "But... after all, you are indeed not young, and it is time for you to bear some responsibilities in your blood. I heard that you have started to choose your own guard team? Then you Let's go to the city defense army to practice first, and learn how to train soldiers first."

For a while, a system prompt sounded in Lann's ear:

【Discovery mission】

[City Defense Iron Guard One]:

【The queen rejected your request to take charge of the army, maybe you can start from the city defense army to prove yourself? Of course, everything starts with the most basic training. Like teaching them how to hold a sword and where to point it.

Accept/Reject]

"Follow your will, and you will definitely not be disappointed." Lan En promised sonorously.

Calanthe said with a smile: "I heard that you have helped people everywhere this year, and you have also gained the reputation of 'Lannister, what you promise'. The reputation is a good reputation, but it is somewhat disgraceful. Now give You get down to business, and I hope you won't run around all day in the future."

"I didn't expect such an insignificant reputation to reach your ears." Lan En laughed.

The goal has been achieved, and there are even unexpected surprises. Lan En was about to resign, when his mind suddenly remembered a few thoughts that came to him when he was sorting out his notebook last night.

"Aunt." Lan just sat up and sat down halfway, "Actually, I have always been a little puzzled about this marriage with Verdon. If I remember correctly, my uncle's elder brother is the king of the Skellige Islands. Can we Can't you borrow troops from them?"

Yes, Calanthe's husband has a king brother.
