Chapter 115 Not only do I have people to help me clear the tasks, but I also want them to come to the door myself. The
man in front of me is still expressionless, but the background behind him seems to be dyed in a gloomy color all of a sudden, and it begins to exude the melancholy of being abandoned by a lover. temperament.
Lan let out a long breath, patted his face and stopped looking at White Wolf's joke. He turned to Mossack and said, "This is also the first thing I want to ask you to do. Uncle Mossack: Help." We found a warlock to teach Ciri together. Do you still remember the dream I had before?"
Mossak's eyes were complicated: "I can teach Ciri myself, and I can go to Kaer Morhen together."
Lann looked at the sudden The old uncle who became fierce quickly comforted him: "Uncle Mossak, I have something more important to ask you for help. I really can't do it without you - forget it, I'll talk to the warlock first." Come on, do you remember Triss?"
Mossack nodded, they were one of the few warlock friends he had: "I can look for her for you, but I can't guarantee that, they northern warlocks seem to have gathered recently. We are discussing something together, and we have cut off contact with the outside world."
According to this time point, the battle of Soden Mountain should be next, and the northern warlocks should be actively preparing for the war now.
Although Triss can't be contacted now, it plays into Lan's hands: "I had another dream recently: In my dream, I saw a monument used to carve the dead, with Triss's name engraved on it. But she did not Not dead, but severely injured and wailing in a laboratory - Uncle Mossack, do you know if Triss has any magic laboratory of her own?"
Mossack's expression became serious: "I once did it with her. Through academic exchanges on magic, I know the location of her secret laboratory. But if Triss is going to experience such a terrible thing, I must stop it..." The old
Druid looked at Lan, and then thought of Ka Queen Lancer's last words to herself. The life-saving grace will definitely help Cintra win over a new warlock, but Triss is his friend. If he watched her go to the battlefield and get seriously injured without caring...
Lann would not have any psychological burden on this kind of thing. His friendship for Triss in the game is now only a naked interest. Currently, only the people present and his retainers are qualified to bear his friendship, plus at most Geron and some people related to Cintra.
But he saw the old Druid's embarrassment, and he comforted: "According to Triss's character, even if you tell her about the danger, she will not stop her steps, right? So,
you You can go to Tris and persuade her. If she gives up going to that battlefield, when she sees the monument after the war, she will definitely not ignore our life-saving grace and come to help us; but if she does not listen to us We are also prepared to rescue and win over her. What do you think of this?"
Mossak rubbed his head: "Let me think about it again... Didn't you say there are other things you want to ask me for? Lann nodded: "
The second thing is actually related to this - Ace, my attendant, do you remember? I recently discovered that he has magical talent. Although it is not as powerful as the magic source, it still has it." Yes. I want to send him to the magic academy for training, and I want to use Triss to help with this."
Mossak nodded and said: "I remember that young man, I will go see him again later. Invisible magic The talent may not be as powerful as you think. But there is no problem in studying. Even if I can't find Triss, I have other warlock friends I can ask for help. Is there anything else?" Lann took out his
lion The Eagle School Badge, and one last thing.
"I haven't told you in detail about my transformation into a witcher - I found a way to mutate a witcher a second time, as well as more mutation information. I want to ask you to continue researching how to make witchers mutate. Methods to increase the success rate of human mutation, as well as mutation methods to make existing demon hunters stronger." "
I found this information in Thomas Moreu's laboratory, that is a demon; now those The information is kept in the hands of his son Geron Moru, who is a knight."
Lann added: "I will tell you the specific process later. The current situation is this: Geron is my demon hunter Mentor, he holds these mutation information in his hands, I would like to find an opportunity for you two to communicate -"
At this point, he suddenly laughed: "After all, you are my elder, and now I suddenly have an extra mentor. , you also have to check for me, don’t you?”
Mossack touched his beard after hearing this, and was very impressed by Lann’s words: “Is it such an important thing, continue to improve the witcher mutation... Lann, What you think...Okay, then I'll go see that Geron Moru."
Then the old Druid sighed again, recalling the series of arrangements Lan just mentioned, and sighed: "Lan Well, you have really grown up..."
...
As the days passed in the war, information from the outside world was constantly collected through the refugees, and Lann also sent experienced scouts to gather information.
After the fall of Cintra, only a small piece of land centered around Brochlon remained.
The kings of Brugg and Verden each assembled nearly half of the standing armies in the country to march on the border, not only to guard against the large number of Cintra people gathering at the border, but also to guard against Nilfgaard; although they had nothing to do if Nilfgaard broke through the blockade and came over. That’s it.
What can really act as a deterrent are the five thousand mercenaries sent by Temeria; all these people are added up, and for a time, there is a "coalition army" of ten thousand people on the border of Brochlon.
Among the "four countries" at the junction of Brochlon, only Soden did not send troops because they had too much to take care of themselves at the moment.
In October 1264, the Northern War broke out. Nilfgaard captured Soden. At this time, Soden was not yet divided into "Upper Soden" and "Lower Soden". The Black Sun Cavalry conquered the southern half of Soden, which would later be called "Upper Soden". flat ground.
In November 1264, the Northern Alliance and the Warlock Brotherhood officially intervened on the battlefield, and the Battle of Soden Mountain broke out.
Later historical data stated that a total of 100,000 people participated in this battle, and at least 30,000 people were killed or injured in this battle.
It is believed that a total of fourteen magicians died in this war. They erected monuments to praise these magicians. From then on, Soudan Mountain was also called the "Mountain of Magicians" and the "Mountain of Fourteen Martyrs".
Mossak began to frequently open portals to find his "dead in battle" friends. The fourteenth name of the obelisk commemorating the warlock was clearly "Triss Merigold", and a warlock claimed to have seen it with his own eyes. After Triss was ignited by the flames, she was attacked by a soldier with a sword through her heart, but no one found her body afterwards.
Mossak was distraught.
Intelligence from the outside world and complicated affairs in the territory flew into the study of the Lord's Mansion in Brochlon Town like snowflakes. Lan was learning to handle these affairs with the help from time to time of the old butlers Enns and Mossack.
He put aside the information about the Battle of Soden Mountain. Now that the battle was over, the situation in Cintra would improve after that.
After reading the battle report, the following is the report from the territory: A large group calling itself the "Lion Order" has recently appeared around the town of Blochlon. They are very large in number and are mostly composed of refugees. They will organize refugees to pray every night in an organized and disciplined manner, and the refugees in their area are also particularly obedient to management. However, anyone who verbally insults the name of Lannister may cause bloodshed, and there are many city guards. Intervening for the first time...
Lann was a little dumbfounded. When had something like this happened to his subordinates? What the hell is the Order of the Lion?
He looked up and saw the old housekeeper in front of him looking at him strangely.
"Ahem." Lann coughed lightly, "Even if this kind of religious group has good ideas, it must have our people in it. House—" The attendant looked up after hearing his name being called
.
"You go and bring me the leaders of their sect. I have something to ask them. Then select some soldiers with brighter minds. I will be useful later." After seeing the attendant nodding and leaving, Lann
added His eyes fell on the remaining rough pieces of paper.
Due to the recruitment of a large number of refugees and the temporary expansion of the territory, trivial incidents of all sizes often break out within the territory recently, ranging from fights and quarrels to murders and robberies.
So Lan transferred people from the city guard to form a security team. After all, this was their old profession. But then Lann discovered a bright spot in this series of events -
urgent and vicious incidents such as murder cannot be delayed, so Lann ordered the city guards to solve them immediately.
But for some trivial matters that were not urgent, he asked the city guards to register, taught the refugees to write down their demands word for word, and then reported them to the lord's mansion for his review.
As soon as Lann picked up the pile of papers, the system's beeps began to sound in his mind:
[Discovery Mission - New Home]
[Discovery Mission - Bloodshed]
[Discovery Mission - Midnight Footsteps]
[Discovery Mission - Tree Spirit Legend]
[...]
As the system prompts continued to appear, the corners of Lann's mouth raised at an increasingly wider angle. Now, not only do you have someone to help you complete the tasks, but you don't have to do the connecting tasks yourself. You just need to sit in the study and review them.
After the system prompt disappeared, he handed the collected "commissions" to the long-awaited captain of the city guard, and solemnly said: "
These tasks above must be completed as soon as possible. Cintra is in flames of war, we cannot let What will happen to the little seed we have!"
The squad leader puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "For Cintra!"
Only the old housekeeper was not infected by the exciting atmosphere in the room at this moment. He looked at the squad leader with a sense of mission. Looking back, he shook his head slightly in his heart: The young master's old habit has happened again.
