Chapter 164 Private Magic Course
Mossak shook his head: "King Bran has no objections. He fully supports his brother. But Skellige's political environment is very special - their king is voted by the seven major families. .
So it’s useless for King Bran to agree. Other families must also agree. East’s reputation was enough before, but this time he encountered a lot of opposition.” “I was very worried about him, so I arranged for
Ciri to Meeting him once made East's situation a little better. After you finish your trip to Haji Fortress, go to Skellig and have a good talk with him."
Mossak said seriously: "As an advisor to Cintra, I very much hope that he can return to the throne of King of Skellige; but as a friend, I am more worried about his current state. He is tired, sad, but full of anger at the same time. He will hurt himself before killing his enemy."
Lann nodded solemnly, with worry in his eyes.
...
Mossack returned to Cintra after a brief exchange with Lann. He came here firstly to visit Lann as an elder, and secondly to report to Lann the recent situation as a consultant.
Once these two purposes are accomplished, he has no reason to stay here.
After all, Cintra needed someone with enough weight to take charge, and it was only with Mossack guarding the rear for Lan that Lan could run around with peace of mind.
Triss stayed behind to provide Lan with magic tutoring.
Don't look at Lan En's ability to use the seal now. He can even use the [Axi Seal] to do things like a hypnotic warlock that other warlocks can't do, but this is all the product of the blessing of the system.
Without the system, his method of using magic is still very crude.
Triss enjoyed it for Lann, who had such a poor foundation in teaching.
"Mossack and Jeron have already planned magic courses for you. Mr. Kelda's knowledge reserve is also amazing to me - he has almost memorized the entire library. Now they are waiting for you to predict Leave enough time to study."
Triss covered her mouth and chuckled: "That course may take several years to complete. But considering that you are so busy now, we can only use the fragmented time to study it. I will teach you a little bit."
Lann raised his eyebrows: "So you are here to teach me the first lesson?"
Triss raised her chin slightly: "That's right!"
The first thing Triss taught Lan was [Meditation], this is the meditation method that Geron finally improved 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. During the meditation process, time can pass quickly and at the same time replenish one's own magic value; and the demon hunter's [Meditation] retains a keen perception of the outside world on this basis, and the outside world is slightly The slightest sign of trouble can quickly put the witcher into combat mode.
The process went smoothly, with Ancient Blood's keen perception of chaotic energy and Lan's own qualities, he quickly mastered the trick.
So this private magic tutoring soon entered the second stage - the teaching of [Transformation and Sealing Technique].
Transformation Sealing Technique, also known as Human Body Compression Technique, 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 the hand.
Only a powerful mage or sorcerer can cast this spell. This spell allows the caster to trap someone they want to capture without having to worry about them escaping, and can be carried around and easily concealed.
After the caster turns into a statue, the entire body's functions will enter a state of stasis in time, and he will have no awareness of the surrounding environment and what is happening.
In the original novel, both Yennefer and Triss were cast upon this spell. For Lan now, this spell is indeed the best way to "capture" the Toad Prince.
Lan 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: "Depending on the basics, a normal warlock may need several years. "A powerful warlock can quickly use it freely by analogy."
Lann pointed at himself and said: "Although I am very confident that I will be powerful in the future, but now I don't think I am a 'powerful warlock'."
Triss He covered his mouth and smiled: "It doesn't matter. If you still haven't learned it when that monster appears, then you still have me."
Lann raised his eyebrows. He finally understood that this sorceress came to teach him magic. "Learning magic" was not the key point, but "teaching" was.
After thinking about this, Lan was about to say something, but he saw Triss lazily sinking into the sofa. The fiery red hair spread out, seeming to stir up the restless heart.
Lan looked out the window and realized that it was getting late. A huge bonfire was lit outside the Temple Island, and the sound of prayers could be heard in the distance.
The light from the flames shone through the window from time to time, contrasting with Triss's long hair.
Lann couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sorceress...
"Let's stop here for today's magic study. I have been running around all this time and I haven't had a good rest."
"Lan, can you help me?" Can you take out the skirt in your luggage? This travel outfit is really uncomfortable to wear."
For the sorceress who had worked hard to teach her all day long, would Lan refuse such a simple task?
That would be a little too rude.
The young witcher raised his eyebrows: "Of course."
"Thank you...can you help me unbutton the buttons on my back? I can't reach them."
"But you are wearing a jacket now, Triss."
"This is a special style jacket with buttons on the back. You don't know? Do you 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 repay them appropriately - even if the demands have gradually become excessive.
Lann is very good at understanding people's clothes and stepping forward.
After a burst of rustling sounds.
"Where is the button you mentioned? I've been looking for it for so long and still can't find it." "
Maybe I remembered it wrong. The button is actually in the front."
"Huh... OK, I'll look for it again."
.........
The study of magic is a hard 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 wants to skip the basics and learn a magic directly, he will naturally need to work harder, work harder, and last longer.
The soldiers of Cintra discovered that their Lord Count had not left the room for three days, but incomprehensible chanting and shouting could still be heard from time to time in the room.
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 morning, Lan got up from the ground sweating profusely and looked around confusedly.
"What just happened to me?"
Triss looked at him seriously from the opposite side and said: "Your magic power has been drained out by the [Transformation Device Sealing Technique]. You should listen to me and stop in time when you feel that you are unable to do what you want, instead of doing it so uncontrollably." Throw yourself in."
Lann looked annoyed: "But I feel like I'm almost there."
In front of him, there was a mass of wood carvings with no discernible shape, as if they were carelessly used by a naughty child. The product of grabbing a piece of wood and knocking it twice with a chisel.
Triss shook her head: "Even if you learn the [Transformation Instrument Sealing Technique], it will take a long time of familiarity and a lot of practice before you can perform it perfectly. Immature [Transformation Instrument Sealing Technique] will damage the internal organs. , especially the kidneys."
Lann was stunned: "My kidneys?"
Triss looked angry: "The kidneys of the person who was cast."
Lann nodded. This content seemed to have been mentioned in the original work, which is reasonable.
Just when Lan wanted to meditate to restore his physical strength and magic power and continue practicing magic, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
"Come in."
The attendants were all sent by Lan to negotiate about the House of Bosodi. The person who opened the door at this moment was an ordinary Cintra soldier.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Shapet of Eternal Flame is here." The
short security officer stepped into Lan's house, followed by several Eternal Fire guards, as well as those who were worried about Lan's safety. Followed by the Cintra soldiers.
"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."
Lann also waved to the Cintra soldiers. Suddenly, only Lan, Triss, and Shapet were left in the room.
"I have also heard of the love story of the White Wolf, and I even briefly got along with the White Wolf myself." Chapete looked at Lann and Triss with a smile, "Sure enough, the Witcher has to mate with a woman. Warlock?"
"The security officer came here early in the morning. I guess you didn't come to count the number of people in my room?"
Lann didn't care much about Shapet's slightly sarcastic words. Because he knows that this is Shapet's disguise, and he knows Shapet's true identity, but now is not the time for a showdown with the opponent.
"Sorceresses are dangerous individuals. I can't ignore them if they enter Novigrad rashly." Shapete gave Triss a meaningful look, but quickly turned his attention back to Lann.
"You asked me to find the giant toad in the sewer before, right?"
"Is there any news?"
Sharpett nodded: "What are you going to do with it?"
Lan asked back: "You care about it?"
Sharpett nodded . Te said seriously: "Recently, several water sources on Temple Island have been polluted. After analysis by the pharmacist, it was toad toxin. That toad has interfered with the normal life of believers and other citizens, and it must be disposed of." Lan's
eyes Yi Liang: "In other words, this toad is now in the sewer of Temple Island?"
If Lan remembered correctly, there are also some treasures under Temple Island. It was a secret laboratory of a warlock, and there was also a cat-sect demon hunter whose life or death was unknown.
It's just that the current Eternal Fire is not as corrupt and heavily guarded as it was in later generations. Lann and his team came to Novigrad with a diplomatic mission. They didn't want to cause trouble, so they never set out to explore it.
Now it seems that it can be solved easily?
Shapet nodded and said: "I sent soldiers to kill the toad before, but those children of the eternal fire failed to come back in the end. Now it seems that I can only count on the demon hunters - and the sorceresses, you guys He should be very handy in this situation."
As soon as Shapet finished speaking, the system's prompt tone also sounded at the right time.
