Chapter 183 Your wife... No, your knife belongs to me!
"You told me that this guy got this ability from a deal with the devil. Is it [magic summoning]?"
Lann shook his head: "I can't go into details with you now. Maybe I won't until this problem is completely solved. There is a chance."
Leisuo is well-informed and knows some rules of forbidden magic. He just frowned when he heard this, but he also made it very clear that he would not ask further questions.
"How do you plan to deal with him?"
Lan En already had a plan in his mind: "You can't kill him. We can only go together and subdue him instantly with a force that far exceeds his - a more bloody subjugation." Lan En said
. En said, he made a fist with one hand, then suddenly released it, making a "split into pieces" gesture.
Leisuo glanced at him: "But I think he wants to be one-on-one with you."
Lann shrugged: "That's his business. I am a count, and this is a battlefield. If you don't want to use it, If you want to kill this monster with your life, I would have sent the soldiers to swarm them."
Not far away, Olgierd saw Lann and Leisuo standing together, and finally stopped shouting.
He struggled to reach the hilt of the sword that penetrated his back, but he couldn't reach it. In the end, he simply stopped touching and raised his knife directly towards Lan:
"Lannister, don't hide behind your men, fight with me!"
Lan looked around, seeing the corpses of the Wild Boar Army everywhere, and asked: "You knew I was coming, and you knew it would be like this, but you still waited for me, right? Why, just to fight with me?" Olgierd grinned with a bleeding smile: "I'll tell
you I've said it before, Lannister. Life needs fun, and I'm particularly slow about it. Only going crazy from time to time can make me feel the vitality of life. The clash of swords and strategic games with you gave me a little interest that I haven't seen in a long time. "
As for the wild boar army? It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as a period of time passes, new ones will gather around me, just like my body will recover sooner or later after a period of time." Lann raised the rune sword: "Although
these The words sound unreasonable, but when it comes to you, I can suddenly understand it. But have you ever thought that you may not have 'a period of time'?" Olgierd raised the scimitar in his hand: "
Then It's even harder than letting me die now, Lannister. Today is the first time I fought a witcher, but I believe you are not an ordinary witcher. I have been looking forward to it." "I need to wait
. Did you pull out all the swords on your body?"
"Don't worry, I don't feel any pain, the pain won't bother me. But fighting like this is very new to me -"
Before he finished speaking, Olgierd suddenly felt a wave of pain. Black mist followed, and then he seemed to regard the weight of the steel on his body as nothing. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a dozen steps to reach Lan En.
Lan En's reaction was also incomparable. He raised his hand with [Quen's Seal] and raised his sword to block.
"Cang——"
There was another symphony of steel that made the eardrums tremble, and Lann steadily held the scimitar in the opponent's hand.
However, he saw that the opponent used the reaction force of the collision to turn his wrist, and the scimitar made a slight circle above his head, and then attacked quickly with "woo" and "woo", each one more severe than the last.
That posture actually had the flavor of a sword dance.
At the same time, the red light on the scimitar in his hand became more and more intense.
Finally, as if he had gathered enough strength, Olgierd turned from a light blow to a heavy slash, striking Lann's sword spine like a landslide. Not only that, a bloody arc of light stretched out from the scimitar, as if Like a sword, Lann was forcefully withdrawn far away, causing the [Quen's Seal] on his body to fluctuate.
If it weren't for the defensive seal on Lan En, he would have been injured at this moment.
"Lannister, is this all you can do?"
Olgierd shouted, about to press forward again.
Suddenly a huge but swift black shadow flashed beside him, and with one sword he split his whole body in half.
It's Leisuo, the venomous python. He achieved success with one blow, but he stilled his body and frowned slightly because the feel was wrong.
"It's this move again..."
I saw that Olgierd did not turn into "two halves" at this moment, but completely dissipated in the air, turning into black mist to avoid this attack.
Fortunately, this seemed to be just a temporary spell, rather than an innate skill like the "Mist Demon". Olgierd immediately transformed into a human form after dodging the slashing attack.
Then, another silver light illuminated his eyes.
Or Reso.
Have you ever seen a bear with the speed of a leopard? Olgierd saw it.
The sturdy figure rushed towards Olgierd at an unreasonable speed with the roar of the wind.
This guy's performance simply doesn't match the animal hanging around his neck!
"Okay!" Facing the menacing enemy, Olgierd cheered loudly. His eyes almost burst open at this moment, and he faced him with his machete.
With a "boom", the scimitar and the snake-headed silver sword collided suddenly, and sparks seemed to burst out at that moment. Lei Suo only felt numbness and a slight tingling in his palm.
Looking up at Olgierd, this man's hands were dripping with blood at the moment, and his whole body simply flew out.
This is the first time that Lan has seen someone really able to knock someone out with a sword!
As expected of him!
Seeing Lei Suo suppressing the enemy, Lan decisively slapped the ground with his left hand and raised a fully automatic magic turret.
[Yaden Seal]!
A constantly beating hourglass shadow appeared in his sight, and Lan hung on to Olgierd the moment he appeared.
With a "crack", Olgierd, who was still in the air, was immediately shot to the ground. The purple brilliance clung to his body, not only preventing him from turning into black mist again, but also making his movements slow like an old man.
Leisuo waved his hand tentatively and raised his brows. Why doesn't this gryphon's [Arden's Seal] work on me? Can you tell the difference between friend and foe? Would you still hit someone yourself?
Olgierd got up, his whole body was beaten in the crackling magic circle and twisted like a drunk person. Lan En stepped forward, knocked away the opponent's scimitar with a sword, stepped forward and twisted his waist, raised his hips and turned his shoulders -
[Spiral Sword Dance]!
Olgierd's attack, far faster and more violent than before, was unreservedly tilted at this body that was not yet made of flesh and blood.
The sword light, which could not be detected by the naked eye, made the onlookers' eyes shine with brilliance. An ordinary person would have died more than twenty times at this moment.
The steel swords of the Knights of Sintra inserted into Olgierd's body accidentally helped Olgierd block many attacks, but even so, this sword dance almost split open all of Olgierd's body. His large muscle groups and organs made his whole body lie down at this moment.
Lann slashed the opponent's chest and abdomen with his sword. The huge force drove Olgierd around half a circle, and handed the sword hilt exposed from behind to Lann's hand.
Lann held the hilt of the sword with one hand, kicked the opponent directly, and pulled out the sword forcefully.
Then, while the opponent was not getting up, he sprinted forward and pinned him to the ground with a "poof".
Then he followed the same pattern, nailing Olgierd's limbs, torso, and neck to the ground with a sword several times, and adding the [Yarden Seal], almost making him unable to move.
"Lannister, what are you doing!"
Looking at the enemy struggling on the ground but unable to get up, Lan took a deep breath. The magic power in his body began to operate. Lann recalled the lessons Triss had given him during this period, and began to mutter something--
[Transformation and Sealing Technique]!
Olgierd's chatter suddenly stopped, not because of pain, but because he suddenly found that he could no longer make a sound.
Then his body twisted, with a faint feeling of shrinking, and even the color of jade began to flow on his skin.
Unfortunately, this change only lasted for two or three breaths, and Olgierd's body immediately returned to its original state.
If it were a normal human being, he would definitely have died of internal bleeding at this moment, but the immortal Olgierd was still full of energy and even had the strength to curse Lan.
Lane began to think.
"Have you ever thought about it, Olgierd. When an immortal body faces a powerful enemy, it will be more painful?"
The enemy who was nailed to the ground was a little confused.
Lan shook his head: "I didn't plan to deal with you now at the beginning. My primary target was only Reigns. But now that I'm here, I just...ha." "I originally wanted to use magic to take you away
. Yes, but as you can see it failed. So my movements may be rough in the future - my sword is very big, please bear with it a little." Lann raised the rune sword in his hand, golden light flashed, and he kept raising the sword
. When the hand falls, the knife falls. When the hand falls, the knife falls.
Olgierd suddenly became "the Olgierds".
Lann asked the soldiers to wrap the Olgierds in cloaks, each carrying one piece on their backs. The immortal body seemed to be still working, and a steady stream of blood soon seeped out of the cloak.
Although it is troublesome, at least Lan can "capture" Olgierd using this method.
The battle here is basically over. Lann asked the soldiers to rest where they were and count the wounded.
He himself focused on the trophy in his hand: a simple scimitar with a brown wood handle and a scabbard with a strong nomadic style. This is the weapon Olgierd used in previous battles, and the [Inventory] also gave its name at the right time - [
Alice]
Olgierd renamed the heirloom sword after his wife. Countless players in the original game would rather The top-level steel sword weapon that I wanted to buy despite the discomfort of sparing Olgierd's life.
This knife was originally an heirloom of the founding martial artist and was priceless. Olgierd is indeed talented in black magic, and he has added many enchanting effects and alchemical modifications to this knife.
There is no doubt that this is a sword that is comparable to the Lake Lady Sword in Lan's hand in terms of material, and it also has a special magical effect: it will continuously accumulate red magical energy during battle, and after reaching a certain level, it can be used at any time. The user's slashes burst out with powerful mid-range magic slashes.
In the game, the effect is probably that a normal heavy hit will double the damage, and the damage will be superimposed in the red light state. I just don’t know what the effect will be if it is put into reality.
The only drawback is that the magic attack of this knife in the red light state will consume the health of the person holding the knife, which is a bit like a berserker fighting for his life. But it’s not a big problem for Lan, who has the [Gourmet] skill and [Oriole] and other health-recovering potions.
Overall, Lane was pleased with the trophy. Just thinking about Olgierd naming this sword after his wife, it seems to have an extra layer of meaning that makes the pure love warrior furious.
After looking at it for a while, Lan put the Alice Scimitar into the [Inventory] with a flash of his hand.
Leisuo came up, pointed at the scattered Olgierd and asked Lan: "What are you going to do? Divide his body into many parts and find a place to bury him, just like the devil in the fairy tale?" Lan shook his head
. Shaking his head: "That would be too troublesome. I'm just doing this now for the convenience of bringing it back. The best thing is [Transformation Device Sealing Technique], but as you can see the results, I may still need to practice." Lei Suo said: "If
you It's enough that the sorceress beside you is still there. I remember her name is Triss?"
Lann nodded in confirmation and explained: "Shapelle needs Triss more now."
.........
"Ms. Triss, I'm already in place."
On a balcony of the Temple of Eternal Fire, two dim red lights flashed out of a shadow.
Those are the eyes of the cat-sect witcher Kyaan.
Before him lay the empty roof. But after hearing Keyan's words, the air on the roof suddenly became slightly distorted, and then Triss's voice came out.
"How did you find me?"
Kyaen said matter-of-factly: "I know you are on standby on the roof. Then you can find the relative direction of the two of us based on the amplitude of the vibration of the badge, and then determine your position. This is very easy. Easy."
The air above the roof twisted and trembled more violently.
Triss was silent for two seconds and asked: "That Olgierd's brother, did you bring him back?"
Kian nodded and said: "Yes, now he has possessed a temple guard, he must be kept inside for a while After fighting for a while, let him feel happy, and then let him leave a written evidence that he has returned to the earth and enjoyed himself, and finally give him a little guidance...The mission assigned by Lan is over." "The future of
Norvig Who has the final say about Rui, it all depends now."
Triss naturally knows this process, and her appearance here is part of the mission. But she closed her eyes and felt the direction of Kiyaen's finger for a long time, but she found no trace of the soul.
"The soul you mentioned is possessed by a temple guard. Where is he?"
Keyan tilted his head towards a particularly excited guard: "That's the one who exudes a disgusting aura. It's obvious. Can't you feel it?"
Triss opened her eyes and shook her head.
At this moment, the sorceress suddenly became somewhat academically interested in the cat-sect witchers.
It was also thanks to her current invisibility through magical illusion that the other party couldn't see her expression, otherwise the sensitive Kyaen would probably have a bad look on her face.
It would definitely not be possible for these two people to conspire loudly at the headquarters of Eternal Flame without anyone around them, but today all the patrol guards were summoned together, so naturally no one paid attention to such a trivial matter anymore.
Chapelle and Caleb Manji were each surrounded and protected by their own men at this moment, and the two waves of people were truly at war with each other.
"Caleb Manji! You are just the leader of the temple guards. Who gave you the courage to confront Mr. Chapelle with swords! And you, believers of the eternal fire, do you know what you are doing!" Chapelle
is The security officer of the Eternal Flame is the most powerful person in Novigrad. He was a military attache, and his current position is equivalent to that of mayor or consul, and he also plays a decisive role in politics.
Therefore, even though Caleb Manji, as the leader of the temple guards, already has a large number of cronies under his command, he still needs to be cautious when facing Chapelle at this moment.
After all, the Eternal Fire is a religion and not a general political force. It does not mean that he can naturally replace him after killing Chapelle. In addition to money and power, what unites these people is faith.
At least, it's a "belief" that makes sense.
"I received a tip today that gangsters will cause chaos in the city." Chapelle said coldly. At this moment, his expression and posture were exactly what everyone remembered as a security officer.
"And I also have a tip saying that you, Caleb Manji, are also in contact with them. I didn't believe it at first, and I thought I would go back to you to confirm it after I finished dealing with the gang. Now it seems... the news is true? "
The guards on Chapelle's side all drew their weapons and stared at Caleb Manji with gritted teeth, just waiting for the order from their security officer to sacrifice their lives for the eternal fire.
Caleb Manji glanced around slightly. According to his original plan, riots should have broken out in Novigrad at this moment, and more than one-third of Chapelle's troops should have been sent out to quell the chaos. Instead of now, everyone is still ready to go, as if they are waiting for someone to come to their door.
If a conflict breaks out at this time, it's really hard to say who will win and who will lose. Even if they get into a fight, the soldiers on their side may be suppressed by Chapelle's prestige and quickly lose morale.
The rats in the gutter are indeed unreliable!
Caleb Manji scolded the gangsters in his mind and planned to liquidate them afterwards.
But he didn't panic. Although there were slight deviations in the plan, the trump card in his hand was still not played, and now was the time.
"You now support Chapelle, thinking that he is your security officer and the warrior who once led you to spread the gospel of eternal fire." Caleb Manji was unhurried and confident of victory, "I once told myself Follow that great security officer, who is the most determined handler of fire I have ever seen." "
Now that you know what Mr. Schappeler represents, get out of the way! We are going to fight against the chaos of the gang. Stop them before the citizens!"
Hearing Chapelle's adjutant scolding him, Caleb Manji suddenly raised his voice, startling everyone.
"Yes, gangsters are threatening my believers, but now there is a danger in the temple that is far more deadly than the gangster threat. He is right under our noses, and he even prays to the eternal fire with us every day!"
He The long sword in his hand suddenly pointed at Chapelle: "That's you. You are not Chapelle, but a dirty, cunning, and evil deformed! Strange!" After hearing
Caleb Manji's words, Chapelle The soldiers on one side were in an uproar.
No one believes this absurd statement.
"Mr. Schappeler, give the order! Caleb Manji has been blinded by power, betrayed his faith, and became a slave of desire! We do have more important things now than quelling the gang, and that is to let the betrayers Purified by the flames!"
Faced with the soldiers' anger, Chapelle raised his hand to stop them.
"You said I was a shape-shifter. This...accusation surprised me. After all, it is a frame-up that cannot withstand scrutiny. I am even more curious about who gave you this wrong guidance and asked you to say it in public. What did you say?"
Chapelle's tone was still cold. His tone had basically remained the same throughout the day, as if he was deliberately pretending.
But at this moment, none of the soldiers around him noticed this strangeness. Even if he was aware of it, he just thought that maybe Mr. Shapera was deliberately suppressing his anger, so it didn't matter if he spoke strangely.
Caleb Manji stared angrily, and the emotions he had suppressed for a long time finally burst out in front of everyone:
"Don't any of you find it strange? Or do you clearly have doubts, but never have the courage to raise them? Since that stroke After that, our security officer became indecisive, no longer firm, no longer jealous of evil. I always thought he was knocked down by the disease, but I didn't expect that the truth was even more terrifying - he was replaced by a demon!" "Despicable
! The devil climbed to the top of the Eternal Fire in full view of the public. It is because I respect the former Shappelle that I want to destroy this devil even more. This is the revelation given to me by the Eternal Fire!" Caleb
· The morale of Manji's men was boosted by his voice. An important reason why they gathered around Caleb Manji was that they were dissatisfied with the current situation of the Eternal Fire under the control of Shapelle. Their actions are now restricted in every way. The money bag is also much shriveled than before.
Under normal circumstances, they would be able to endure it if they were hindered by more or less faith in their hearts and the prestige of Chapelle. But when Caleb Manji told them the truth of the matter, they immediately hit it off and decided to "purge" the Eternal Flame.
On the other side, although Chapelle's followers were slightly agitated by Caleb Manji's words, they were able to maintain basic order.
They belong to a group of people who support Chapelle's changes, or a group of people who have stronger beliefs in their hearts. Eternal Fire and Novigrad are getting better day by day. If the person who made this change is a "devil", then who are the former Schaperer and other Eternal Fire senior leaders?
"Very wonderful, Brother Manji." Chapelle still looked cold, and his tone of voice had not changed much throughout the day.
Not even Caleb Manji's accusation caused him any panic.
