From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Mossak shook his head: "King Bran has nothing to say, he fully supports his brother. But Skellige's political environment is very special - their king is voted by the seven major families.

So it is useless for King Bran to agree, and other families have to agree. East's previous reputation was enough, but this time he encountered a lot of opposition. "

"I was very worried about him, so I arranged for Ciri to meet with him, which made East's situation a little better. When you are done with your business at Haji Fortress this time, go to Skellige and have a good talk with him. Bar."

Mossack said solemnly: "As an advisor to Cintra, I very much hope that he can return to the throne of King Skellige; but as a friend, I am more worried about his current state. He is tired and sad, but It was also full of anger, and I was afraid that he would hurt himself before he could kill the enemy."

Lan En nodded solemnly, with a look of worry in his eyes.

…………

Mossack returned to Sintra after a brief exchange with Lane. He came here to visit Lane as an elder, and to report the latest situation to Lane as a consultant.

Once these two goals are accomplished, he has no reason to stay here.

After all, Sintra needed a man of sufficient weight to sit in the command, and it was Mossak who guarded Lane's rear, so that Lane could run around with peace of mind.

Triss stayed behind and taught Lane magic.

Don't look at how slippery Lann's spell is now, he can even rely on [Axie Seal] to do things that other warlocks such as hypnotists can't do, but this is all the product of the blessing of the system.

In the case of being out of the system, his way of using magic power is still very superficial.

For Lan, who had such a poor teaching foundation, Triss enjoyed it.

"Mossack and Geron have already planned magic courses for you, and Mr. Kelda's knowledge reserves also amazed me-he almost memorized the entire library. Now they are waiting for you to predict Allow enough time to study."

Triss covered her mouth with a chuckle: "That may take several years to complete the course. But considering how busy you are now, we can only use fragments of time to tutor you."

Lan En raised his eyebrows: "So you came to teach me the first lesson?"

Triss raised her chin lightly: "That's right!"

The first thing Triss taught Lan was [Meditation], which was finally improved by Geron based on the meditation method of the demon hunter and combined with the suggestions of Mossack and Triss.

The focus of the meditation method is to communicate magic power. During the meditation process, time can pass quickly while replenishing one's own magic power; while the [meditation] of the demon hunter retains a keen perception of the outside world on this basis. The slightest sign of trouble can make the witcher quickly enter the combat state.

This process went smoothly, and the ancient blood's keen perception of chaotic energy and Lann's own quality quickly mastered the trick.

So this private magic counseling soon entered the second stage - the teaching of [Transformer Sealing Technique].

Encapsulation, also known as human body compression, is a powerful spell that can wrap the caster in a jade shell and shrink it to a "statue" that can be held in the palm of your hand.

Only powerful wizards or warlocks can cast this spell. This spell allows the caster to trap would-be captors without fear of their escape, and is also portable and easy to hide.

After the caster turns into a statue, the skills of the entire body will enter a state of stagnation in time, and they will be unaware of the surrounding environment and what is happening.

In the original book, both Yennefer and Triss have been cast this spell. But for Lan now, this spell is indeed the best way to "capture" Prince Toad.

Lan En asked hesitantly: "It's just... is this magic easy to learn? We may only have a few weeks or even a few days."

Triss thought for a while and said: "Look at the basics, it may take several years for a normal warlock; a powerful warlock will be able to use it freely soon after being comprehended by analogy."

Lan En pointed to himself and struggled: "Although I am very confident that I will be strong in the future, but now I don't think I am a 'powerful warlock'."

Triss covered her mouth and smiled: "It doesn't matter, if you still haven't learned it after that monster appears, there will still be me."

Lane raised an eyebrow. He finally understood that this female sorceress came to teach him how to learn magic. "Learning magic" is not the point, but "teaching".

After thinking up to this point, Lan wanted to say something, but saw Triss sinking lazily into the sofa. The fiery red hair spread out, as if it was stirring the restless heart.

Lan looked out of the window, only to realize that it was getting late, a huge bonfire was lit outside the Temple Island, and the sound of prayer could be heard from a distance.

From time to time, the dancing light of the flame came in through the window, matching Triss's long hair.

Lan En couldn't help sighing in his heart: The sorceress...

"Let's stop here for today's magic study. I've been running around all this time, and I haven't had a good rest."

"Lan, can you help me get the dress out of my salute? It's really uncomfortable to wear this travel bag."

For the female sorceress who worked so hard to teach herself for a day, would Lann refuse this little effort?

That would be a little too impolite.

The young witcher raised his eyebrows: "Of course."

"Thank you...can you help me unbutton my back, I can't reach it."

"But you're wearing a jacket now, Triss."

"It's a special jacket with buttons at the back. Don't you know? Want to see it?"

The sorceress asked one after another, and Lan was a little impatient. But for friends who have helped me a lot, it is my duty to give back appropriately—even if the demands have gradually begun to become excessive.

Lan En was very good at understanding people's clothes and stepped forward.

After a rustling sound.

"Where is the button you mentioned? I've been looking for it for so long and still haven't found it."

"Maybe I remembered it wrong, the button is actually on the front."

"Oh... okay, I'll look for it again."

…………

Learning magic is a painstaking and long-lasting process. It takes several years, ten years, or even decades for a serious magic academy to train a qualified warlock.

If Lan wanted to skip the basics and learn a magic directly, he would naturally need to work harder, work harder, and last longer.

The soldiers of Sintra found that their Lord Earl hadn't left the room for three days, but inexplicable chanting and shouting could still be heard in the room from time to time.

The soldiers could only lament the Earl's hard work, and were fortunate to have a sorceress beside him to help him solve his problems.

In the early morning of this day, Lan got up from the ground sweating profusely, and looked around in confusion.

"What happened to me just now?"

Trissy looked at him seriously, and said, "Your magic power has been drained by the [Encapsulation Technique]. You should listen to me, and stop in time when you feel powerless, instead of acting like this without restraint." Get in."

Lan En looked annoyed: "But I feel like I'm almost there."

In front of him, there was a group of wood carvings with no discernible shape, as if a naughty child knocked twice with a chisel on a piece of wood that he grabbed casually.

Triss shook her head: "Even if you have learned [Transformer Sealing Technique], it will take a long time to be familiar with and a lot of practice before you can perform it perfectly. Immature [Transformer Sealing Technique] will hurt internal organs , especially the kidneys."

Lan En was taken aback: "My kidney?"

Triss's eyes revealed annoyance: "The kidney of the caster."

Lane nodded. This content seems to have been mentioned in the original work, which is reasonable.

Just when Lan wanted to meditate to recover his physical strength and magic power, and continue to practice magic, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Enter."

The attendants were all sent by Lane to negotiate about the Borsodi House, and the one who opened the door was an ordinary Sintra soldier.

"My lord, Mr. Shapet of the Eternal Flame is here."

The short security officer stepped into Lane's house, followed by several Eternal Flame guards and Cintra soldiers who were worried about Lane's safety.

"You guys go out first." Shapet said to the guards of the Eternal Flame, "I have something I want to talk to Earl Lannister alone."

Lane also waved to the Cintra soldiers. All of a sudden, there were only Lan, Triss, and Shapet left in the room.

"I've also heard about the love story of the white wolf, and I even got along with the white wolf for a short time in person." Chapet looked at Lan and Triss with a half-smile, "Sure enough, the witcher wants to marry a woman." Warlock?"

"The security officer came to visit early in the morning. I don't think he came to count how many people are in my room?"

Lann didn't care much about Shapet's slightly mocking words. Because he knows that this is Shapet's disguise, he knows Shapet's true identity, but it is not the time to showdown with the other party.

"The sorceress is a dangerous individual. I definitely can't ignore her rashly entering Novigrad." Shapet gave Triss a meaningful look, but quickly turned his gaze back to Lane.

"Before you asked me to find that huge toad in the sewer, didn't you?"

"Any news?"

Sharpette nodded: "What are you going to do with it?"

Lan En asked back: "You care?"

Shapet said solemnly: "Recently, several water sources on Temple Island have been polluted. After analysis by the pharmacist, it is toad toxin. That toad has interfered with the normal life of believers and other citizens, and it must be disposed of."

Lan En's eyes lit up: "In other words, this toad is now in the sewer of Temple Island?"

If Lann remembered correctly, there are also some treasures under the Temple Island. It was a secret laboratory of a warlock, and a cat-pie demon hunter, who did not know whether he was dead or alive, was imprisoned in it.

It's just that the current Eternal Flame is not as corrupt and heavily guarded as the later generations. Lan and his party came to Novigrad with diplomatic missions and didn't want to cause trouble, so they didn't start to explore it.

Now it seems that it can be solved smoothly?

Sharpet nodded and said, "I sent soldiers to kill Toad before, but the children of Eternal Flame failed to come back in the end. Now it seems that I can only count on the witcher——and the sorceress, you guys It should be handy for this situation.”

As soon as Shapet finished speaking, the system's prompt sounded at the right time.
