From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Sure enough, the skinner also took this opportunity to swing his sword vigorously, forcing Lann away dangerously, and put his sword in front of him, putting on a defensive posture.

A khaki circular light film appeared in front of him.

【Quen Seal · Shield】

Lan En's pupils shrank, and he wanted to stop the sword he swung, but he couldn't stop.

With a "boom", Lan En's sword was bounced off by the khaki light film, and the empty door in his chest and abdomen was immediately exposed to the enemy's eyes.

The feline predator, who seemed to be hunting for food in the middle of the night, finally showed its minions after a long wait, and a silver shadow bypassed the Lake Maiden's sword and stretched towards Lan's neck.

"Only, pain is the most real!"

There was a second "boom", and the yellow light film on Lan En's body exploded, and the violent impact sent the two of them far away.

Nimblely rolling in mid-air, Lan landed in a squatting position. Looking up, the opponent had also adjusted his posture, pointing his long sword.

"Lan!" Triss, who had been watching the battle from behind, screamed, and lightning suddenly appeared in her hand, and it hit the skinned man with a "crack".

The opponent was staggered by the lightning, and the surface of the body began to jump with electric arcs, but there was no negative effect of paralysis, and he quickly adjusted.

It seems that the muscles of this pair of limbs have long been stiff and numb, so they are not hindered by the current at all.

And this moment is enough for Lann to seize the opportunity.

With a swipe of his left hand, [Quen's Seal] went up again, and Lann rolled to get into the distance with the enemy. When he raised his sword and stood up, he slapped his left hand on the ground.

Purple brilliance immediately climbed onto the enemy's body.

The sword ridge came with a silver light. This time Lan En steadily parried the sword move that seemed to be doubled and slowed down. He even used the solid arm armor to block the opponent's blade with his left hand and stretched out to the opponent. in front of you.

【Yakeshi Sign】!

A white haze of light and shadow immediately enveloped the opponent's brain.

This only briefly affected the Skinned Man for a moment, and those eyes filled with bloodthirsty red light soon lit up again.

But at this moment, when he looked up, he saw a long rune sword that was held high above his head and had been charged for a long time.

"Regardless of whether there is justice or evil... New Year's greetings!"

The silver slash fell down with a mountain-like momentum, and the khaki circular mask supported again, but this time it collapsed and disappeared in just an instant.

"clang!"

The long rune sword pressed against the skinner's spine, almost letting the opponent's blade stick to his face.

One blow failed, and Lann raised his long sword again by relying on the rebound force of the steel collision.

"clang!"

Second time.

He obviously blocked it with his long sword, but the skinner's body still seemed to have suffered huge damage, and he retreated again and again.

"clang!"

The third time.

The skinned man's hands holding the sword made a slight crisp sound, and the smooth spine of the sword reflected the skinned man's scarlet eyes, which already had cracks.

"clang!"

For the fourth time.

Lan En faintly heard the sound of biscuits being crushed, not from the skinned man, but from the sword in front of him that parried him.

"Dang-crack!"

Fifth blow!

The long sword in the skinner's hand finally couldn't support this rough and domineering style of attack, and it shattered all of a sudden.

The metal fragments that had accumulated a huge amount of potential energy splashed in all directions at a speed far exceeding that of an arrow. Pu Chi Chi plunged into the Skinner's body, making him scream wildly.

The [Quen Seal] on Lan En's body was also broken again. He didn't expect the continuous [Outburst of Anger] to be so angry, but he realized that this was a good opportunity.

His body was brought back by the [Burst Shield], but this time before he landed, his left hand was already glowing white, and at the same time he shouted behind him.

"Trissy, [Encapsulation of Transformer], it's now!"

The high and rapid sound of chanting began to echo, and the sorceress was always observing the battle that she could not intervene, and had long been ready for battle.

At this moment, the skinned man was full of blades like a hedgehog, struggling to get up, but immediately fell into the control of [Axis Seal].

Severely injured and under consciousness control, the flayed man had no chance of resisting Triss' magic, and his body shrank and deformed continuously under convulsions.

Until it becomes a palm-sized jade carving.

Even if he turned into a jade carving, the flayed man still had that ferocious and crazy expression. If this jade carving was really made by a human being, then we should really pay attention to the mental state of the creator at that time.

Lann breathed a sigh of relief. As a cat-pie witcher, this battle was many times more dangerous than the one with Judd Carradine.

With a wave of his hand, he put the jade carving into the [Inventory], and looked up at the hexagram where the skinned man was kneeling and praying, his eyes lit up.

A neat stack of documents was stacked there, looking at the location between the black cat statue and the skinned man.

Lan En quickly stepped forward to pick it up, and after a brief look at it, he recognized that it was another main purpose of his visit this time - the cat school equipment blueprint!

Including armor, pants, gloves, greaves, just a set, neat.

Although Lann already has [Extreme Griffon Suit], the cost of this suit is extremely high. It is said that the older generation of the golden age of witchers like Geron have saved up for decades before upgrading from the most basic suit. up.

In the future, if the Demon Hunter Order is to be formed, more types and levels of armor will be needed to reach the level of standard mass production.

This set of cat school equipment armor drawings is just the beginning!

You must know that the Judd Carradine I met before was only wearing mercenary-level leather armor.

"Have you found what you want?" Triss couldn't help being happy when she saw Lan En's happy expression.

Lane nodded: "This is just the beginning."

Afterwards, the two quickly began to search the remaining test area.

Those unknown biological tissues and magic potions belonged to Triss, and Lann couldn't use these things at the moment, and handing them over to professional people might be able to play more roles.

In addition, the warlock's collection of books also surprised Triss.

And Lane, after a simple search, found more than a dozen large gems.

These gems are different from those Lann usually sees, and they are surrounded by a faint chaotic energy.

【Discover the source of magic power】

"These are gemstones that can be used by alchemists to carve runes or enchant." Triss explained, "There are not many gemstones that can perform these functions on the market, but it is rare to see such a large piece and such a good quality .”

Lan nodded, activated the system, and began to absorb magic power.

But this time the situation was different from before. When he held a gemstone in his hand, the system remained motionless.

It has already been hinted that it is the source of magic power?

Lan En suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and held two gems at the same time.

no response.

One more, three gems.

This time the system finally started to work, and the familiar warm current slowly flowed in from the gemstone in his hand.

[Skill Point +1]

The three gems lost a bit of their luster at the same time. They may still be able to create precious jewelry, but as far as occultism is concerned, they have lost their role.

Lan frowned. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. It seemed that the material of these gemstones was more than a star and a half worse than those magic source crystals and magic items he had encountered before.

[Skill Point +1]

[Skill Point +1]

Out of a dozen gems, Lann only provided three skill points in the end. The extra ruby ​​and emerald could not be absorbed, and he put them all into the 【Inventory】.

Not a small gain, enough to start the second level of French seal skills.

After counting these harvests, Triss began to look through the experimental notes left by Warlock Irenius, and quickly pieced together a story about the skinned man.

This story made the two of them frown:

【first day.

I'm so tired of that wreck, and wish the storm I summoned it to hit the rocks off the knoll and shatter it.

While I was away, the students' experiments on the water ghosts didn't turn out as expected. I still have to do everything myself.

I first administered a dose of anesthesia to the subject. This "milk of the poppy" will make the witcher half awake and helpless, and then start research. 】

"Looking at the content, it seems that this sorcerer named Irenius deliberately kidnapped the demon hunter. He seems to be a very powerful sorcerer, and he can even summon sea storms to attack ships."

Triss sighed, followed by distress: "But why have I never heard his name?"

Lann speculated: "If I remember correctly, this level of biological experiments should be banned by the Brotherhood of Warlocks. Those who do this kind of thing are definitely unwilling to make too much of their reputation."

Triss nodded in agreement with this point of view.

The two continued to read.

[The fourth day.

Subjects have an extremely high tolerance for pain. It was not until the second day of torture that he gave in completely. The result of the interrogation is quite satisfactory, and I have obtained information about witcher training and the cat school. As I suspected, most of the witchers of the cat school had elven blood, so this school must have something to do with the ancient races.

(Side note: Perhaps the founder was a member of the Ain-Air race?)]

Triss not only knows ancient languages, but also has studied the history of the elves.

The word "elf" today is a transliteration of the common language of mankind; in the ancient language, the name of the "elf" group is actually "Ian Woodold".

Later, the elves suffered great changes and split into two branches. One is called "Ian Sidi", which is the elves living on the mainland now.

The other group is called "Ain El", they live in a different world. They have a notorious army - the "Wild Hunt"!

[Seventh day.

Use extracts of Kalanchoe and Viola. Usually in humans, such a mixture paralyzes the peripheral nervous system and then the nerve endings, paralyzing the muscles, bones, breathing and heart, and eventually suffocating.

But witchers are not ordinary people. Although the toxin did slightly stimulate his nervous system, his mutated body quickly neutralized the harmful alkaline substances. 】

【Eighth day...】

【ninth day……】

[Fifteenth day. Injecting jellyfish toxins also didn't have the desired effect. To enhance the toxicity of the toxin, I also poured alcohol on the wound. 】

【The twentieth day...】

The more Triss looked at her, her brows furrowed deeper. As a traditional academic warlock, she still obeyed the rules of the Warlock Brotherhood, and hated this kind of cruel biological experiment.

In this mood, the experiment log came to the last page.
