Chapter 139 The Inexplicable Upgrade (4000 words)
The sorceress joked that she saw that Lan seemed to be very concerned about the dead guards, and explained:
"Although Viriles is a fool, he still wants to see the corpse. And the demon spirit The dust burned after death is a good alchemy material. I heard that you refused to conquer these demon spirits yesterday? Please beg me, maybe I will give you some points now." Lan now knows the reason for his demon hunting mission
. It will suddenly be done.
Keira may have gained a bit, but Lann has also lost nothing.
He didn't respond to Keira's teasing. Normally, Lann might have exchanged pleasantries with Keira Metz in a polite manner, but after a night of fighting, he had no such interest at the moment.
After all, witchers don't fight unprepared.
And just when Lann arrived at the entrance of the tomb, he suddenly felt a vibration from the Griffin School's contact notebook. It was obviously a reply from Jielong.
In the evening, Lann rode Black Wind to the entrance of Baiguoyuan Road Sign Village. There was a huge road sign here.
Jie Long knew about Baiguoyuan, but he had no impression of the location of the lord's mansion. Therefore, there was no way to accurately locate the portal when opening it. He could only choose a place that both parties knew to open the portal.
"Lord Earl...what are we waiting for?"
In addition to Black Wind, Lan also brought Leo with him.
Yes, Lan wanted to bring Leo back to the Griffin School to see the attitudes of the two masters in the school and whether they were willing to accept this new apprentice.
Lan put his index finger on his lips to signal Leo to be quiet, and immediately there was a reaction from everyone around him.
With a "rumbling" sound, the strong wind blew up large pieces of fallen leaves and grass stalks, and large areas of fences were shattered by dimensions.
Lann looked not far away. About thirty meters away from him, there was a portal opening in the middle of the fence at the entrance of the village.
The portal is a bit crooked. It seems that after a hundred years of vicissitudes, the White Orchard is no longer the White Orchard in Jielong's memory.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem.
Lan En was about to ride his horse in, but he saw Black Wind retreating with great resistance. No matter how Lan En pulled and pushed, he would not move forward, and all four hooves were about to plow the ground.
Dark golden lion eyes met amber cat eyes.
This guy...
Lann sighed: "Okay, then you go back and tell House and ask them to bring a few people here to repair these fences. After all, we did it... There is no need to completely restore and repair them. Reserved If the distance is far enough to open this portal, I will probably open it here when I come back."
Black Wind, the demon-hunting horse, didn't know how much he understood, and after Lann finished speaking, he immediately ran away happily.
The portal that shattered the fence expanded even further, as if urging Lan to move faster.
Lan took a deep breath, nodded, sprinted, landed, and retched.
Standard procedure.
Jaylon was in front of Lan, his hair flying in the snow. Then he waved his hand and the portal disappeared in mid-air.
Seeing that his unexpected son took a long time to react from the dizzy feeling, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Then he looked at the child who was supporting Lan in panic: "Is this the boy you mentioned in your notes? The kid who gave himself as a reward for burying his friend?" Lan nodded
: "Yes, his name is Leo. I saw from his destiny that he has the talent of a demon hunter, at least part of it."
Jeron nodded and strode forward.
Leo seemed very restrained. From the few words he said, he could tell that the earl spoke with respect to the person in front of him. He was obviously a big shot that he could not afford to offend.
Jeron thought for a moment: "It's good that you want him to help me and Kelda. When we have nothing to do, we can also train him in the 'decision' stage. But we will not give him grass and grass for the time being. Dreamland."
Jaylon explained: "The research of Kelda and Mossak has reached a certain bottleneck. We have vaguely grasped something, but there is still no opportunity for a breakthrough. We believe that the improvement of the Witcher mutation is It can be achieved, so we will not give the apprentices a new potion trial before that. Such a sacrifice would be too great."
Lann nodded and agreed. In the original work, Leo did not reach the final step of the dream trial, and even he did not Determine whether the child survives the full witcher mutation in the end.
Although being able to go through the previous stages of mutation trials is considered a super soldier, it would be better if there was a more reliable way to become stronger.
The three of them quickly returned to the castle, isolating the snow outside.
They first found a cloak for Leo, and suddenly arrived at the snowy castle from the white orchard. The little boy was already shivering from the cold.
Later, Lann visited Kelda under the leadership of Jeroen. The old demon hunter had been completely immersed in the study of mutations and magic. After seeing Lan, he greeted Lan politely and then politely invited him out.
"Recently, except for the fixed time of cleaning the castle, he has been doing research at other times, and he almost doesn't talk to me." Jielong said helplessly, "With this child you brought, at least I have one more person to communicate with. "
Jielong then found a room for Leo and asked him to clean it up briefly. Then he took Lan to the alchemy laboratory.
Looking at the mutation-inducing substance that Lan took out, Jie Long took it carefully with experimental equipment and sighed: "The goat-horned demon is a big guy that is very difficult to deal with, especially because it is highly resistant to seals. You are How to solve it?"
Lann and Jeron briefly explained the role played by Yarpan's dragon-slaying team and Zoltan in the battle. Jeron couldn't help but began to sigh:
"Slay the dragon...we lions There used to be a dragon slayer in the Eagle School, but unfortunately..."
Jie Long shook his head and quickly drove the emotion out of his mind. He then took out other materials needed to refine the decoction and directed Lann to help him.
The alcohol lamp was ignited, the crucible was lit on the asbestos mesh, and with dwarf spirits as the base, the horned devil's sudden mutagen tissue began to slowly fuse with the alcohol under the influence of a bunch of alchemical herbs.
After a while, Lan obtained three bottles of blue potion in glass alchemy bottles.
He tried to put this bottle of decoction into the [Inventory], and the system also gave the name in due time: [Magic Ram's Horn Decoction] [Magic Ram's Horn
Decoction]: Completely eliminate the imbalance effect, or reduce the knockdown effect to imbalance. .
This is a skill that can make [Sword Dance] more enjoyable.
The above is the effect of this decoction in the game. In Jie Long’s words:
“After drinking this decoction, your ability to control your body can be greatly enhanced, your muscle control will be more flexible, and your center of gravity will be adjusted. It will be separated from the scope of the human body. The stiffness in the connection of moves will no longer exist for you, and after blocking the enemy's attack, it will hardly be affected by the force, allowing you to react faster."
Jie Long sighed: "This is a decoction that is very effective for swordsmen. Unfortunately, it is not very suitable for our gryphon school. The cat school will probably like it very much. If you encounter a small mist demon or a fork-tailed dragon next time, be sure not to Let it go, the decoction made from their sudden mutagens can enhance the damage of the seal."
Finally, Jielong said: "The toxicity of the decoction is much more than that of the potion, and one bottle is worth three or four times of ordinary potion. Bottle, you must control the dosage when drinking!"
Lann nodded.
At this moment, a system prompt suddenly came to his ears:
[Character level improvement +1]
The sound of a holy sigh like a hymn made Lann's body stiffen, and he almost didn't let go. Jielong saw something strange.
what's the situation? Can refining magic potion also increase experience?
No, no, I definitely wouldn't be so careless. This is not an advanced online game system, and it can also open up your life and career.
There is no notification sound of mission completion, and I have not killed monsters myself, so there is only one source of experience:
[Follower]: Followers can provide 20% of their own experience and share some abilities.
Lan briefly recalled that he now only has three followers in total, namely House, Milva and Ace.
House and Milva were still doing repairs in White Orchard, and they had no interest in doing good deeds to the residents of White Orchard who had offended them. Lann checked their panel and everything was normal.
Then there is only one possibility: Ace.
With this thought, Lan immediately opened Ace's current panel:

.........
There are two magic academies in the Northern Kingdom. One is specifically for male students and is located in the Kingdom of Kaedwen, Ban Ade Magic School. Although the teaching quality of Ben-Add School is high, Ben-Add lacks control over the male students, causing them to often lose in competition with another magic school in the Northern Kingdom, causing the academy to lag behind other magic schools.
Based on the above factors, residents near Ban Ade are rarely proud of the students here.
In comparison, Arethusa, another school that specializes in training sorceresses, has a much better reputation.
Arethusa is located on the island of Thanede, which specializes in training sorceresses, which makes Thanede Island a holy place for northern warlocks. Being a student of this school is a great honor, but it also means paying high tuition fees.
It is very expensive to train a sorceress, but the academy accepts girls from almost every corner of the world, poor or rich, beautiful or ugly. The academy's assessment of students is also extremely strict. Once they enter the academy, those apprentices cannot leave until they graduate.
This also makes the quality of students in Arethusa extremely high, and their alumni are very respected. Today, almost all the royal advisor sorceresses in the Northern Kingdom were trained by Arethusa.
Because of Arethusa's good reputation, many southern warlocks will send their children here to study all the way. Even though they have a long inheritance in magic skills, they are lacking in many ladies and court etiquette. , and these can be fully educated in Arethusa.
In addition, the rich alumni resources are also valued by Southern Warlock.
In addition to the Arethusa Magic Girls' School on Thanede Island, there are also a large number of famous warlocks who have purchased properties and set up laboratories here. These sorcerers are of both sexes.
Xannide Island was built by the elves using magic in the past. This is why a unique mage domain was formed here, and a large number of spellcasters gathered here. The headquarters of the Warlock Brotherhood is also set up here, and the Gastang Palace on the island is also the only location for the Mages' Conference.
As a member of the Wizarding Council, Wilgefortz not only had a mansion arranged for him by the Brotherhood on the island, but he also purchased an additional laboratory.
At this moment, he was looking at the sorcerer apprentice who was chatting happily with a female student of Arethusa outside Aretusa.
Ace Elloman Orman, a native of Cintra, a servant of the Lion, and a current magic apprentice.
Not long ago, Triss brought him back from Brochlon in Cintra, claiming to have discovered his magical talent.
Vilgefortz became famous in the process of resisting Nilfgaard. Even the lions as far away as Cintra heard of his name, so they asked Triss, who had a good relationship, to send Ace here. Learn magic under Vilgefortz.
For many warlocks who didn't know the inside story, this was another manifestation of Vilgefortz's reputation and strength. At the same time, they were also happy that Cintra, which rejected magic, had finally begun to accept the warlock community and rejoiced.
Wilgefortz has many secret laboratories, and it is naturally impossible to take Ace to those laboratories; and because he was busy with his own affairs, he placed Ace on Thaned Island, with his female assistant Lydia van Bradvoort came to teach.
Triss would also come to visit Ace from time to time and pay attention to his learning of magic.
Wilgefortz was paying attention to Ace, and Lydia didn't know when she appeared next to Wigefortz and noticed the warlock's sight. She took the initiative to explain: "
Since he got permission to go to Ari He has been like this since Tusa found Triss."
Vilgefortz repeated: "Always like this?"
Lydia nodded: "He seems to be willing to help others, which is consistent with the Lannister in our intelligence. The characteristics are very similar."
Vilgefortz smiled disdainfully: "Is he happy to help others, or is he happy to help female students? How can Lan learn magic if he spends his energy on such things? Nestor's eyesight is not that good either."
Lydia looked towards Aretuza's door. The female apprentice who was communicating with Ace was bowing slightly towards him, as if to express her gratitude, with a smile as bright as a flower.
Ace was also saying something and responded politely, but he was too far away, so he couldn't hear clearly.
Lydia took the initiative to explain: "His learning progress is actually good, and his magic power has been growing."
Wigfortz shook his head: "That's it, you continue to teach him and keep his level at a level below His current habits are quite good. Find a way to make him one of ours, and arrange for him to be brought to Sintra in the future." After finishing speaking,
Vilgefortz did not wait for the female assistant's reaction and backed away. After a few steps, he reached a platform and disappeared from Lydia's sight with a wave of his hands.
From beginning to end, his eyes never focused on Lidya for a moment.
