From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

"Your honor almost killed me!" Princess Yada had already heard the knight muttering, she screamed and shouted:

"You've been fired! Don't let me see you in Vizima again, or I'll have my father cut off your head!"

Then she looked around, trying to find the lord of the White Orchard: "Where is Viriles? What happened to the White Orchard, where is the lord?"

The most casualties last night were the cattle and sheep in the lord's mansion of White Orchard. Fortunately, the shepherds here have resigned now, which gave Milva the opportunity to kill the cattle and sheep.

It is also because of this that the goat demon first appeared next to the lord's mansion. In theory, Sir Viriles was the first group of people to encounter it.

The princess arrives and wants to live in the largest house in the area, but the owner of the house can't be found now. At first it was thought he had been killed by a goat golem, but only the fat butler's body was found inside the mansion.

Everyone searched for Sir Viriles for a long time, and in the end Lane activated the witcher's senses and followed him all the way.

In the end, everyone stopped in front of the cemetery of the Virileis family, with strange expressions on their faces.

Zoltan crossed his arms: "He...why did he run in here, because he thought his ancestors would protect him from monsters?"

Yarpan's language was not so euphemistic, he said carelessly: "This is an idiot, I guess he was in a panic - sorry, Your Royal Highness, I did not intend to offend."

Princess Adda's complexion was even worse, not because of the dwarf's words, but because the tax collector sent by the king whispered a few words beside her:

"It is said that there are ghosts in the Villiers family cemetery, and most people dare not approach it."

ghost? Hearing the tax officer's words, Adda looked at Lan for help.

Lan En nodded affirmatively and said: "I've heard the rumors, if it's not bad, it's a kind of monster called 'demon spirit', born from people's resentment after death or from curses—I'm very curious How could the ancestors of the lord's family give birth to demon spirits? According to rumors, there may be more than one of them."

Hearing the professional judgment of the witcher, Adda hesitated to speak. But the tax collector sent by the king had bright eyes, looking at Lan and the soldiers behind him expectantly:

"Then I wonder if Lord Lannister can show mercy and get rid of this evil for White Orchard? The villagers in White Orchard will definitely sing praises for your kindness."

Lan looked at the tax official and waited for a while, but he didn't hear the notification of the demon hunting mission.

Lan En sneered: "Should I remove this harm for Baiguoyuan, or remove it for you? You are quite courageous."

Seeing that Lan En was a little angry, Adda gave the tax officer a dissatisfied look, and said hastily:

"You must have been tired from your tireless journey back to White Orchard, right? I think it will take some time for the dwarves to clean up the corpse of the monster. Why don't you stay and fix it?"

After finishing speaking, she approached Lan, thought for a while and finally stopped calling her "Lannister", but changed her name and said:

"When I called you in the palace, I really had something to discuss with you, but you ran away. You can't be so rude this time, Lane."

In the White Orchard Mansion, House is reporting to Lan about the handling of the Goat Demon. The dwarves are not Lann's subordinates, so they have to share part of the spoils.

In the end, in addition to the sudden mutagen that Lan took away, he also got the whole head of the horned devil. The dwarves prepared it to undergo a simple embalming treatment according to Lane's request, and then hung it on the edge of Black Wind's saddle.

As for the skin, tendons, and hooves of the goat demon, they were all divided up by the dwarves. They were going to make weapons and leather armor, and Zoltan also had channels to sell them to alchemists or pharmacists.

To be honest, they were the ones who contributed the most in this battle. Lane and the Sintra cavalry were only on the edge. This distribution is very reasonable.

Adda quietly waited for House to finish reporting to Lann, without any impatience, and only stopped drinking after the other party retreated towards her with a salute.

Lan En looked at the princess who had been waiting silently. This princess was undoubtedly beautiful.

The experience of the vampire demon bird endowed this body with wildness, and her status as a princess and so many years of education gave her a touch of elegance in every gesture.

At this moment, she has taken off her armor and is leaning lazily on the chair.

The revealing and close-fitting clothes are as bold as a sorceress, outlining the beautiful curves of the girl; the fiery red hair against the cold white skin is like ice cubes slowly simmering in the snow with a low fire.

Lan took the initiative to pick up the jug, filled Adda's empty wine glass, and then poured himself another glass.

He made some calculations in his mind, a lot of materials for the Goat Demon needed to be processed on the spot, and the group of them needed to stay in the White Orchard for another three days or so.

"My business is done. If there are no accidents, I will go to Maribo and transfer to the Bull Castle in Redania in three days. Before that, my time belongs to Her Royal Highness-you said before that I have business Talk to me?"

Lann took a sip of the wine in his glass, which was the color of Adda's red hair.

It's like her neck too.

"I've heard about the current situation in Sintra. You need allies, right?"

Lane nodded: "I believe you also know that the northern border talks that will be organized at Haji Fortress soon, the reason why I set off so early is to get as much support as possible for Sintra. But you have also seen that I At odds with your father."

Adda had a different idea: "You can't be friends with my father, but you can be friends with me. I need allies, too."

Lan was stunned for a moment, looking carefully at the princess of Temeria from top to bottom, thinking of a possibility. But still tentatively said:

"Your Highness is joking. You are the only daughter of Foltest. Who in Temeria is not your ally? Don't you want to go one step further on the basis of your own father and save Temeria from the 'Northern Territory'?" Will a powerful country become the only powerful country in the north?"

In response to Lan En's teasing, Adda shook her head: "I am only the only daughter of my father and mother, the only daughter of the king and queen. But my father also has countless illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters, many of whom are of the same age. Bigger than me."

Adda said seriously: "I don't believe you can't fail to see this. When I grow up a bit, I will definitely be married to some prince. The prince of Redania is about my age. I heard that you The princess of Cintra was once betrothed to him?"

Lane nodded, affirming the princess' thoughts.

Yada continued: "The illegitimate child can be righted at any time. I know what father's proposal looks like to you. If he can admit an illegitimate child in order to win over Sintra, he can support another illegitimate child in order to inherit the kingdom."

Adda sighed: "Even a figure like Queen Calanthe needs to get married to stabilize the voices of opposition in the kingdom, let alone me?"

Hearing these words, Lan En's eyes became serious. He looked up and down the girl in front of him, and it turned out that she had already left her identity as a cursed princess.

She seems to fit in very well with Temeria's political environment.

"Then, Your Royal Highness, you want to ally with Sintra, right?" Lane asked, "Let Sintra, which is adjacent to Temeria, support you in the upper echelon, so that you can become a Temerian Asia's first queen ever."

Adda nodded: "In exchange, I will try my best to help Cintra. From helping you to helping myself, I believe you will trust me more in that way."

Lan nodded: "So, how can I trust you?"

How to build trust between the two sides of the alliance is naturally the most important thing, and Adda seems to have a plan for this.

After hearing Lan En's question, Yatan's temperament suddenly changed, and her eyes suddenly became aggressive, as if she had changed back to the vampire demon bird.

She stared at Lan En's cheeks, as if she wanted to eat Lan En dry and suck the marrow.

"This is the same as my father's proposal. Only through deeper exchanges and blood exchanges can we understand each other better and gain mutual trust."

Lane keenly sensed that something was wrong with Adda, and he, who was experienced in negotiating, also accurately grasped Adda's intentions.

It was the same negotiation again, and the same bargaining chip. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to that night a year ago, when he was facing Brokilon's dryad.

Will Lane accept the offer?

He thought about it, but didn't agree right away, he planned to drag it out first, and at the same time explain the pros and cons to Princess Yada, so as not to pursue it later.

So Lan En said regretfully: "Princess Adda, you may not know that demon hunters are infertile. Regarding your proposal, I may not be able to practice it."

Yada was taken aback for a moment, her eyes became clear, and then she became disgusted: "You...can't?"

Lan En was also taken aback, his eyes became fierce, and he corrected: "It's not that I can't, it's that you can't. On the contrary, the demon hunter has strengthened my ability—all-round strengthening."

Adda reacted to Lan En's cryptic words for a while, and then she realized the meaning, and her eyes lit up again—wouldn't that be better?

Lan En continued righteously: "So please take back your insulting words to me, otherwise I will let you see why I have the title of 'Lannister, you must pay your debts' among the people."

Yada licked her tongue: "If I don't take it back, let me see it?"

…………

In the bedroom of the White Orchard Lord's Mansion, Princess Adda of Temeria and Earl Lannister of Cintra had a cordial and friendly talk.

Due to Earl Lannister's health, Princess Adda's original plan to sign a cooperation agreement with Sintra was put on hold, and a more direct and simpler plan was adopted to enhance the friendship between the two countries.

This exchange made the two sides know the basics for the first time, and also laid a solid foundation for the next cooperation.

Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations.

…………

From day to dusk, from dusk to night, and from night to day.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight came in, Lann opened his eyes, feeling a little dazed.

Although the spirit is not good, but still have to get up and do business.

Lan En first glanced at Princess Adda, who was limp into cotton beside her. Some of her physical qualities seemed to have remnants of the nature of a vampire demon bird, which was far beyond ordinary people.

After looking at her for a while, Lane sighed sincerely: Princess Adda doesn't look like Foltest, so she can only look like her mother, Queen Adda.

Observing her face up close, one could vaguely see the beauty that once made Temeria turbulent. Lan suddenly understood why Foltest had such a hot and incomprehensible love.

Speaking of which, Foltest hoped to use Ciri to form an alliance between the two countries, but Lan first reached an alliance through Foltest's daughter. This is not a kind of tauren.

All this was further stimulated by the fact that Adda's name and appearance were derived from Foltest's wife.

Lan shook his head to drive the dangerous thoughts out of his mind, put on a nightgown unsteadily, sat down in front of the desk, flipped his palms and took out his [Griffin School Contact Notes] from the [Inventory], Start writing in the morning sun.

"Dear teacher, see the words as the face:

I have wandered in Temeria for a long time. After meeting with King Foltest of Temeria, I deeply understand the stubbornness of the kings in the north and the severity of the war. Therefore, I need you more urgently. s help……"

According to the usual practice, it is the prerogative of the younger generation to sell a wave of misery first. It's best to be able to abduct people. If you can't abduct people, it will be regarded as accumulating points. Continue next time.

"Fortunately, I found a new friend in Temeria. After friendly negotiations with the new friend, I found a way out for Sintra. I paid a heavy price, and I only hope that this can barely help My country. It is my duty and my duty..."

Lan was almost moved by himself. But for the detailed process, he felt that it was better for Jielong not to know.

"I met a goat in the White Orchard, and it took a lot of effort with the soldiers to hunt him down and save the local residents from being harmed. I didn't accept the entrustment, and I didn't draw any reward afterwards. The spirit of the Vulture School is also one of my original intentions for establishing the Demon Hunter Order. I sincerely hope that such a scene can appear throughout Sintra, and spread to the northern border and even the entire continent..."

After talking nonsense, Lan finally wrote down his real purpose:

"I found a group of sudden mutagen in the body of the Goat Demon. According to the notes you gave me, it seems to be able to make a special decoction. When you are free, I will trouble you to open the portal. I need Your guidance..."

When writing this, Lane's mind seemed to feel dizzy.

"Lan?"

Suddenly, a confused voice came from behind Lane. That voice should have been crisp and bird-like, but now it was full of exhaustion, with a slight hoarseness and a languid texture that made people sink deeply.

Immediately afterwards, Lan felt a distressing block behind him, two soft and firm arms wrapped around his neck, and the red hair gently rubbed against his neck, side face and shoulders, as if wanting to To spark.

"Why are you wearing my clothes?"

Lan En froze for a moment when he heard this question, and looked down, he was actually wearing Adda's cloak.

Lan En swallowed the obscene words stuck in his mouth. When I just woke up, I was too confused, and I touched a piece of clothing, but I didn't expect it to be such a bug.

"I'm recording what happened in Temeria, and I'm writing to ask Yarpen to bring me back to Sintra."

Naturally, it was impossible for Lan to tell Princess Adda the contact method of the Griffin School, so he made up a reason casually. At this moment, he had finished writing the contents of the notes and closed the notebook.

Turning his head, Lan looked at the princess with a hazy expression in front of him, and suddenly found that the white hair on her head had disappeared.

What is this principle?

And Yada frowned when she saw Lan looking at her so preoccupied. Looking at those lion pupils, she had a sudden idea.

"Lan, the cemetery of the Virileis family, can you help me clean it up, I want to see what the witcher is capable of."

Adda made a distressed look: "I want to subdue this tax official, then the White Orchard will be mine from now on. I will feel very sad to have such a group of demon spirits in my territory."

Lan was stunned, not because of Adda's words, but because the system suddenly sounded a prompt at this moment.

[Discovery Mission - Family Harmony:

There are a large number of wandering demon spirits in the underground cemetery of the Virileis family. The dead cannot rest in peace, and the living cannot rest in peace. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the spirits of the dead should return to where they belong, and it is up to the witcher to right this wrong. 】

This is a hunting mission. What made Lan En stunned was not because of the appearance of this mission, but because the previous mission did not appear.

The tax officer also asked himself to get rid of the demon spirit before, why didn't the demon hunting mission appear at that time, but appeared when Princess Adda entrusted him.

Is it because the tax collector is not paid? Is the mechanism formed by the demon hunting mission the same as that of a demon hunter?

Seeing Lan En thinking silently, Adda seemed to have misunderstood something. She moved closer to Lan En and lowered her voice a little:

"Why, witcher. Can't the lions of Cintra do even that?"

Lan En came back to his senses with disdain in his eyes. Did this woman think she could handle herself so easily? He and Princess Adda were purely exchanging benefits, and there were no other ambiguous factors at all.

But before he could justly refuse, the system sent another notification tone:

[Mission - Family Harmony - Completed]

Lan En froze again, his eyes cleared up, what does this mean?

According to my previous experience in brushing branch lines in Sintra and Brokiron, as long as the mission continues, it is my own. It doesn't matter who completes it afterwards, you can gain experience yourself.

Could it be that someone was fighting the demon spirit when he was lying down just now, and then he was stuck in the point of accepting the task, sending himself to lie down and win?

Gotta go see it.

Looking into Princess Adda's eyes, Lan En pretended to be chic and nodded in agreement. After getting up, he wanted to go to the Villiers family cemetery to check the situation.

But Adda smiled happily when she saw Lane agreeing to her request, and was very satisfied with the results of her test. She didn't care what happened to the demon spirit in that cemetery, she only cared whether the person in front of her would answer her request or not.

"You're really as keen on these things as I've heard the rumors are. I heard someone made up something like a proverb for you, how to put it - 'Lannister, you have debts Must pay'?"

Lan En said without turning his head while putting on his clothes: "This sentence does not mean that I am willing to help others, but that I will punish those who are revenged by me after being helped, and I will definitely punish those who offend me." will respond."

Princess Adda was a little dissatisfied with Lan En's departure, she didn't really want Lan En to leave here to kill the demon spirit.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she touched Lan En from behind in a mischievous manner, and bit Lan En's neck with her canine teeth in the inexplicable eyes of the other party, leaving tooth marks.

Then she smiled coquettishly and spread herself on the quilt: "Now that I have offended you, what are you going to do, Lannister?"

The demon hunter Lan stopped what he was doing, and watched the vampire demon bird narrow its eyes dangerously. This is the hunting time:

"If you have a debt, you must pay it!"

…………

It wasn't until noon that Lann ended the hunt.

He came to the Villiers family cemetery, and unexpectedly saw Keira Metz.

The sorceress with light blond hair was directing several white orchard guards into the tomb to move something outside.

The corpses of several guards were placed at the door of the tomb. They all looked terrified and died in a miserable state.

Seeing Lan approaching, Kayla Metz sniffed playfully and smelled a familiar smell.

Lane looked at the dead soldiers. This was the reason why he never took the city guards to hunt monsters in the wild in Sintra, and it was also the reason why the Sintra cavalry did not join him in the hand-to-hand fight with the goat.

Although theoretically speaking, except for a few ceiling individuals in this world, any other monsters and even remnants can be piled to death by people, but the price paid is also huge.

Ordinary people lack sufficient understanding and experience in dealing with monsters. In theory, a farmer holding a pitchfork can kill a water ghost.

What's more, they were facing demon spirits. Even with the help of a sorceress, Keira Metz, these guards suffered heavy casualties.

"The king immediately asked me to come to White Orchard to check on her precious daughter when he heard the news that there were horned demons haunting the area. Who knows that Princess Adda doesn't lack 'protection' at all."

Not surprisingly, this chapter was reviewed. Fortunately, there are only a few hundred words, so the problem is not big
