Chapter 153 This is a trap.
From the poet's expression just now, it can be seen that he is currently thinking about it. Lan twitched the corner of his mouth and forcibly interrupted the other person's thoughts.
Dandelion was full of poetry, but after Lann's reminder, he also knew that business was more important.
"Reigns has indeed come to Niubu. A few days ago, I heard an old liar selling fake medicine nearby mention him. I can take you to find him." ......... Regarding
this
Reigns, Lan In fact, he had an impression. He remembered that the other party was a dropout from Ban Ade Magic Academy. His magic was very poor and he couldn't even open a portal.
But Reigns also has good skills. Combined with those low-level attack spells, he also has good fighting ability.
His short life was also quite colorful: Riens was expelled for stealing from a magic school, and then joined Kaedwen's intelligence department when Kadwen specialized in accepting magic undergraduates; as a result, he collected information in Sintra He was imprisoned for debt during the intelligence period, and was later bailed out by Vilgefortz with money, and became Vilgefortz's follower; in the end, he would become a spy for Nilfgaard, becoming a multiple spy.
In the original book, he received the order to find Ciri and tracked and captured Geralt, but that should have happened a few years later. Now Geralt and Ciri are still in Kaer Morhen, so they are targeting themselves?
How dare he dare? As a traditional witcher, Geralt is used to working alone. I, the Lion of Sintra, have more than 40 soldiers behind me, are you kidding me?
Not to mention a lame warlock who dropped out of school, if it was an encounter, some royal advisor warlocks from small countries could be beaten by this team of cavalry without taking any action!
At this moment, Lann had been brought by Dandelion to the door of the "liar who sold fake medicines" as he called it. It was already raining lightly on the street, making the street even more muddy.
Lann replaced the improved armor of the Griffin School, and all the soldiers brought out except for a few people who were guarding the house.
Not only do lions fight rabbits with all their strength, but battles such as search and encirclement and suppression also require sufficient numbers to suppress them.
It's just that Lann must make a quick decision and pull the team back in a short time. Otherwise, Vizmir II may feel uncomfortable if he finds out that he has such a large team operating secretly.
Lan wiped the rain off his face and looked at the building in front of him: "This is not a 'house', this is simply a 'fortress'. Look, there is a city wall there. The king allows this kind of thing to appear in the castle." Inside? This is simply a city within a city."
Dandelion said nonchalantly: "This is the Free Cowfort. The king's order is to downgrade it by two levels after coming here. And this is a dock, and there will always be villains, thugs and thugs nearby. Liar, it’s just that everyone has a tacit understanding not to attack students."
Lann felt that the good first impression Niu Bao had given him was constantly shrinking.
The group of people took advantage of the darkness and sneaked in. The silver-gray armored Cintra soldiers also put on a cloak to better blend into the moonlight.
The pub across the canal casts a strip of light across the water, and the sounds of singing, laughter and shouts echo around. Three crew members came ashore, and two of them quarreled, pushed, and repeated the same curse words without feeling bored at all.
On the other side of the canal, the group of people had touched Dandelion's designated location. At Lann's signal, the poet gently tapped the iron sheet inlaid on the wooden door a few times.
"What the hell, who is bothering me so late?" A voice came from inside the house, "You brainless fool, scum, and trash, get out of here as far away as you can! Get out, get out now! I've already fought What a crossbow! Who wants a few more arrows in their butt?"
Dandelion changed his voice. At this moment, he looked like a handsome man in his late forties, but his voice became that of a teenager. The boy said:
"Master Melman! It's me, Levi. I brought the medicine and I want to earn some living expenses here!"
Dandelion has been around Cowburg for many years, so he naturally knows some tricks here. In addition to those children from wealthy families, there are also a large number of students in the college who do not have such good economic conditions, and they will try their best to make extra money for themselves. For example, Dandelion used to often go to entertainment venues and sing to work-study. This is one of the important reasons why he can now enjoy entertainment services without spending money. He does not have this ability outside of Cowburg.
The "Melman" master in the room now is the "work-study" path for medical students. Many students would give Mailman the medicines they prepared and sell them as fake medicines to others, or they would simply steal the real medicines in the college and sell them as fake medicines. After all, the money that goes into your own pocket is real money, and the things they sell are also things that save people.
Dandelion gestured towards Lan, indicating that he would soon be able to deceive the solid iron door.
But Lann didn't care, he just needed to make sure the person was still inside. He didn't need to pretend to open the iron door, he could just blow it open.
Lann gently pulled Dandelion back, and put his left hand against the iron door in the face of the other's confused eyes.
"I have seen Geralt use witcher methods." The poet lowered his voice, "But believe me, this door is very strong and cannot be opened with that slap that blows the wind." "We are different."
Lann He smiled and said, "I told you that I can kill several warlocks in one breath on the battlefield. Do you think I'm joking?"
[Alder Seal] +100 magic points, release.
Lann planned to be gentle so as not to collapse the whole house and he still needed to survive.
With a "boom", Dandelion suddenly covered his eyes that were hurt by the wind pressure. The iron-wrapped door did not break, but flew in together with the part of the wooden wall, and the sky was filled with rain. Sawdust flew around.
A wretched man holding a crossbow was behind the door. He screamed and jumped to his side. However, even so, he was hit by the iron door that flew into the house and hit his left leg. He lost his center of gravity and spun around. Got out.
Dandelion stared dumbfoundedly as Lan cleared away the dust and flying sawdust in the air with another routine [Alder's Seal], strode towards the owner of the house, Melman, and murmured uncontrollably. : "You are indeed different from Geralt."
Melman screamed on the ground: "I don't know Levi, who are you? Dare to come to the dock at night, are you not afraid of getting yourself into trouble?
" The house heard the deafening noise here, and countless lights immediately turned on, and the rustling sound of seats continued to sound, but it soon became quiet again. It is probably that the noise here was a bit beyond their expectations, and no one could Don't want to cause trouble.
Lann stopped in front of Melman. The owner of the house saw the steel greaves in front of him and suddenly realized that something was wrong. His eyes slowly moved up. With his eyesight, it was difficult to calculate the actual value of this armor, but he knew that even if he guessed the limit of his imagination, he might have underestimated the true appearance of this armor.
For someone wearing such a suit of armor, finding him would definitely be no small matter.
Melman's voice suddenly softened, and his fierce eyes became clear: "Spare your life... show mercy, I swear in the name of my mother, no matter what you want to know, I will tell you everything, or do you want money?" ? I can give them all to you..."
"You are Melman, right? Where is Riens?"
Melman immediately trembled when he heard this question. He is not a coward, there are not many things in this world that a desperado can be afraid of. But the question from the blond knight in front of him contained everything he feared and more.
Fear spread in his guts, like a living insect, and Melman finally suppressed it.
"Ah?" He pretended to be surprised, "What? Who? What did you say? What's in it?"
Lann chuckled, bent down, and let Melman look directly into his eyes.
Then he covered his eyes with a hand, still glowing with white light.
[Yaxi Seal] + [Charm] + Magic Infusion.
Melman's eyes suddenly became confused.
"Where is Riens and how can I find him?"
Melman said as if mumbling to himself: "I don't know where he is. He always comes to me. But he gave me an amulet that can help me find him. He sent a signal..."
Dandelion, who was watching from behind, began to look horrified. He looked at Lann in disbelief, and Melman, who knew everything about the other party's men and kept talking, thinking in his heart: " Is this what a demon hunter should look like?"
Melman drowsily handed over a blue amulet. It was made of metal and looked crudely made. It wouldn't even be placed on the street. The kind that makes people want to buy it, who would have thought it would be a communication device.
Lann continued to ask: "How to send the message to Riens?"
"There is a hole in the center of the amulet. Insert the matching cylindrical pin into it to send the signal."
Dandelion came up curiously and talked with Lann Let’s look at this magical communication tool together.
"No, there's no hole in this amulet... Wait a moment, there is indeed one, but it's been blocked..."
Dandelion's expression suddenly changed, and he realized it.
Lann's pupils shrank and he frantically began to activate his demon hunter senses.
.........
A moment ago, the only sound in this deserted alley was the sound of raindrops hitting the sewer. Now the rain stopped, dawn was approaching, the sky in the east began to whiten, and the sounds of the alley came alive.
Lane heard the fluttering of crows and owls, the mating shrieks of feral cats, the barking of stray dogs, singing in taverns, and the cries of fights.
There were also the footsteps of a dozen people. The steps were very light, probably without armor, so they were very fast, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
Lann kicked Dandelion, sending the poet flying into the air and rolling into the corner. Then he rolled on the ground, and then two crossbow arrows penetrated through the window and nailed him to where he was just standing. place.
One of the arrows pierced directly into Melman's chest and abdomen, causing the opponent to retreat from the influence of [Axi's Seal], but it was obvious that he would not survive.
Then, more than a dozen people broke in through doors and windows, and some people jumped in after crashing the roof, surrounding Lann.
They didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Lan, or they wanted to keep him alive for questioning.
Lan En took a closer look and saw that these were dressed as street killers or mercenaries, with mixed equipment and strange looks. Only two of them were equipped with weapons such as crossbows.
To Lane, these people were no problem at all. But their presence here is a big problem.
A man wearing iron armor slowly walked in from the door. He had a deliberately elegant look, but he looked very fierce. Lann looked at his face, and a twisted scar completely destroyed the right side of his face. Lose.
It's Rience, whose face is scarred by Yennefer.
"It looks like this is a trap, but I have a question." Lan said coldly, "Where are the soldiers I placed outside? How did you sneak in without any sound of fighting?" (This
