Chapter 192: Vesemir’s New Home and the Infusion Craftsmanship of the Kingdom of Ophir
Regarding skill points, this can be regarded as a regret for Lan in the mirror world.
Lan once tried to find the source of magic power in the pile of treasures owned by the Mirror Master, but it turned out that the gems inside were pure luxury gems, worth nothing but money.
However, a lot of runes were found, and the magical energy inside them was connected to the system.
However, the magic power contained in each rune is extremely rare. It takes more than a dozen to provide Lan with a skill point, and there are only a few dozen of these runes in total.
You must know that the precious thing about runes is not the magic power inside them, but the precise craftsmanship and manpower and material resources used to make the runes. Absorbing these runes feels like taking apart the motherboard of a microcomputer, smashing it, and then digging out the alloy inside to sell it.
What a waste...
And if used to arm the army, these runes would be enough to create enchanted armor for all the demon hunters Lan knew now, and even enough for him to upgrade his own [Extreme Griffin Suit].
So Lann did not absorb these runes to supplement his skill points.
Keep one of the three skill points gained from the upgrade as a spare as usual, put the remaining two into the seals, and click on the third-level skills of the two seals according to the previous plan to obtain a new seal mode.
Add points - [Sign] major category, [Quen's Seal] sub-category - [Active Shield]!
[Active Shield]: Replaces the seal mode. Quen's Seal can create a circular protective shield, and the damage absorbed by the shield can restore the player's health. (2/5)
A 360-degree no-dead-angle shield that can automatically restore blood. In terms of practicality, Lan even thinks it is more practical than a warlock's protective shield because it can restore blood!
The only drawback may be that it cannot move quickly or attack while maintaining the shield, and its flexibility is often not as good as the normal Quen. For Lan En now, it's more like filling a blind spot, used to temporarily resist the kind of continuous AOE range attack that cannot be saved by the invincible roll of [Mountain].
If you really encounter an invincible attack, it is better to run away. After all, people in the second dimension know that iron can kill people.
After clicking on [Active Shield], it is the next skill.
Add points - [Sigil] major category, [Alder Sigil] subcategory - Shinra Tianzheng... No, it's [Alder Sweep]!
[Alder Sweep]: Replaces the sigil mode. The Seal of Alder can attack all enemies within a fixed radius of itself with telekinetic explosions. (2/5)
So far, Lann has activated seven skills in the [Siint] category, and with the help of [Demon Tide], he has actually gained 14 skill points.
By activating the advanced mode [Doll Master] of [Yaxi Sigil], Lann's Sigil system has basically taken shape.
Then there was a new problem in front of him:
if he wanted to activate the third level skill of the Seal series, he would need to click on all the first and second level skills and invest three more skill points.
The problem is that the third-level skills of the seal are all the effects of percentage enhancement of the seal. These Lann can now be realized by increasing the magic investment in the form of [Magic Burst].
In other words, the level 3 seal skill can only help Lan save a little magic power at most, and it does not provide any breakthrough help.
What really helps Lan is the fourth level skill of Sigil. Among them, Quen, Axi, and Igni can obtain advanced special effects of "rebound damage", "true damage", and "ignite incombustible objects" respectively.
To get these skills, Lann needs to meet the prerequisites, which is to invest at least eight skill points in the seal.
If it were an ordinary demon hunter, he would have no choice now. But Lann, who had undergone the second mutation, now had another option, one that he had always ignored because it cost too much - the
[Second Mutation] skill bar.
Because a skill for secondary mutation requires investing three, five, or even seven skill points at one time, it was too expensive for Lann in the early stage, so Lann did not consider it at the time.
But now Lann has overcome the embarrassing situation of having no skills in the early stage in the first-class Seal. Compared with the fourth-level skill of [Seal] that requires eight skill points to be invested as a prerequisite, the skill of [Second Mutation] is on the contrary. They all start to look good and cheap.
In fact, in the original game, in addition to investing skill points, secondary mutation also requires investing in a large amount of mutation-inducing substances extracted from the monster's body, which stumps many players.
Lane's system eliminates the need for sudden mutagens. According to what Jeroen said, he added a lot of inducers to Rann when he mutated it, and they were all Thomas Moreu's treasures for hundreds of years. Lan guessed that was the reason.
Now Lann has automatically turned on all the first-level skills of [Second Mutation] in the Witcher mutation jointly strengthened by Geron and Mirror Master, so he can directly add some second-level skills. They are: can be given to
Ald The seal has a special effect of freezing [Bone];
every time an enemy is killed, [Blood Bath] can temporarily enhance physical strength;
and [Addiction] can use poison to enhance the power of the seal and physical strength after drinking the magic potion.
In addition, [Second Mutation] also has the top passive skill for the Griffin School - the third-level skill [Guide]: it can strengthen the power of the seal in proportion to the strength of the physical strength.
Among them, the second-level skill requires three skill points to open, and the third-level skill requires five skill points.
In other words, clicking on [Bearing] first and then [Guiding Magic] also consumes eight skill points for Lann.
Whether to continue to work hard in the [Siint] category, or to switch to the [Second Mutation] Sigil enhancement skill, this is a question that Lan En needs to think about now.
However, he actually had a very treacherous idea in his heart: If Jeron was contracted as a [Follower], could [Bearing] or even [Guide] be directly extracted through shared skills?
Isn't it unreasonable to deceive a centenarian in this way...
Lan En shook his head and put all these distracting thoughts out of his mind.
Now that I don't have so many skill points at hand, no matter which path I take, I won't be able to take it for the time being. It would be more practical to familiarize yourself with all the skills you have first.
After thinking about this, Lann turned his eyes to [Flicker] and [Teleport] in the [Blood of the Ancients] skill page.
[Travel] The current magic value is still unaffordable, so I won’t consider it for the time being.
Experiment with [Flash] first. Lan opened the skill, and with the help of the system, he was familiar with all the methods. He could use the skill with just a thought.
Lan strode to the window and opened it. What he saw was a poorly maintained and messy garden. After getting used to it, it still had a natural atmosphere.
Black Wind ran happily inside, and from time to time drove away other war horses that came towards him.
In Lann's eyes, the world quietly changed -
all the colors faded at this moment, and the flowers, plants and trees turned into varying degrees of gray; the only visible color was the chaotic energy expanding out from Lann himself, towards the world. He showed where he could go.
Extremely wonderful.
Lann took a deep breath and prepared himself. With a thought, the body disappeared from the room in just a blink of an eye, like a frame.
In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared in the courtyard.
At this time, the breath he took deeply into his abdomen had not yet begun to be exhaled.
Landed and looked around. Black Wind was startled by the sudden appearance of his master.
Smiling, Lann stepped forward to caress and comfort his partner, savoring the feeling of just activating the skill.
There is no dizziness, but there will be a moment of hesitation to adapt to the sudden change of the surrounding scene. Simply put, it means that you will be stunned for a second when you land. Lann estimated that it would be better if he practiced a few more times.
The ultimate distance is about twenty meters, which is enough to directly cut to the enemy's back row in an encounter; if it is a battlefield, you may need to flash a few more times.
However, as his control over magic power continues to increase, this distance will definitely continue to expand until it extends to every corner of his sight and perception.
Overall, the effect of this skill is very good and perfectly meets expectations. Lann had even sorted out several corresponding tactics in his mind.
Then, next, we need to experiment with the second skill - [Teleport].
Hei Feng snorted, as if he felt something. Looking up, he saw his master suddenly smiling evilly at him.
Lan combed Black Wind's back hair, and at the same time activated his skills to mark the mark with chaotic energy: "Black Wind, don't move around here, do you understand?" The
horse showed a puzzled expression, but nodded in a humane manner.
Lan trotted all the way to the back of the manor, planning to activate his skills.
Do you need a little sense of ceremony?
Lan thought for two seconds, then put his index finger and thumb to his lips and whistled loudly.
He has wanted to do this for a long time!
"Hush——"
[Teleport] skill, activate!
"Eh!"
A loud horse neigh echoed Lan's whistle.
Lann's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked around excitedly, but found that there was no figure of Black Wind in front, back, left, or right.
Where is my horse? The sound I heard just now should be very close to me, right?
"Hey!!"
Just when Lan was confused, he heard a louder neighing. This time Lann tried to distinguish it carefully, but found that the source of the sound was from an unexpected place.
Lan slowly raised his head and saw a black horse wagging its tail restlessly on the roof of the manor.
It seemed to be afraid of heights, its body was swaying and it did not dare to move. It raised its front hooves several times but did not dare to drop them.
When other demon hunters heard the strange noise, they stuck their heads out of the window and looked at Black Wind in amazement:
"Lan, how did your horse jump so high?"
Lann slapped his forehead in frustration, He quickly shouted to calm his panicked companions. Then he trotted to a piece of flat ground.
"Hush——"
[Teleport] skill, activate!
"Hey!!!"
This time the neighing voice was very close, and it was right behind him!
Lan turned around and saw a huge black shadow rushing towards him, facing a pair of angry amber eyes.
"Bang -"
Lann felt like he was flying out.
.........
After changing a marking object, Lan went through repeated experiments. Finally, he discovered that [Teleport], like [Flash], could also spread chaotic energy around the body, and then select the target's landing range within this range.
From now on, I can also whistle to have my mount come to me across thousands of mountains and rivers.
It's just that Hei Feng's mood doesn't seem to be very good now. When Lan sat on the saddle and galloped, he felt like a small boat in the wind and waves, ups and downs.
At this moment they were on their way back to Novigrad from Cowburg.
From morning until almost dusk in the afternoon, everyone finally saw the gate of Novigrad.
"Mr. Lannister!"
This time the Eternal Fire guard at the door saw that the attitude of Lann and his party was completely different from the first. They greeted Lann with a friendly and even respectful tone, and at the same time sent people to notify the headquarters of Eternal Fire of the news of their return.
"Mr. Chapelle is leading people to patrol the city. I can take you to see him." "
There is no need to disturb him from fulfilling his beliefs and duties. I will just go to Temple Island and wait for him to come back in the evening."
Lan stretched out his hand to stop him, which was too much. The enthusiastic city guards chose to return to Temple Island on their own.
Along the way, he received the attention of Novigrad citizens and Eternal Fire believers.
Returning to Temple Island, the first thing Lan did was to find Triss.
The first time he saw the sorceress, Lan was eager to take out the jade statue of the Toad Prince.
After Olgierd's complete death, the black magic he cast theoretically lost its effect. Lann felt that now was the time to have a good talk with this foreign prince as his savior.
Of course, not all magic ceases to work after the caster dies. For example, [Transformation and Sealing Technique] is one of them. Even if the caster dies, the statue will not return to its original state.
But before Lan made this move, Triss spoke first and told Lan a piece of bombshell news:
"Mrs. Minor is back."
.........
Mrs. Minor? Didn't Triss take everything to Kaer Morhen after everything was settled?
Lan En was stunned. He originally thought that this lady who had been chasing her old lover for decades would have to spend some time together after finding her lover. Could it be that in just half a month, she could pour out her whole life's heart?
Triss shook her head after seeing Lan's reaction and began to explain the specific situation.
When old lovers meet, it is naturally an extraordinary scene. After spending half a day feeling unfamiliar and reserved, the old demon hunter and the duchess immediately became furious and became out of control.
Their enthusiasm is enough to melt the snow on the top of Kaer Morhen.
Seeing that the old man was glowing with the second spring of his life, the witchers of the Wolf sect even began to repair Kaer Morhen Castle, which had been neglected for hundreds of years, to fill in the leaky walls, windows and ceilings. I hope to give the old couple, especially Mrs. Minoru, a relatively comfortable environment.
However, the problem lies in the environment.
Kaer Morhen is located in a forgotten corner of the world. The location here is remote, the climate is harsh, and the terrain is steep, making it a truly bitter and cold place.
Here, warriors who remain calm in the face of dangerous monsters can be cultivated, but this has also harmed the duchess, who has been pampered and raised and is now very old.
Mrs. Minor soon fell ill.
In Triss's words: "Vesemir seemed to have lost his soul during that time. All the demon hunters' methods were ineffective against Mrs. Minoru, and some of them did not dare to be used on her at all. Jay. Lot even lowered his face and begged Yennefer, but the magic was still minimal for Mrs. Minor's physical recovery."
So in the end, Yennefer had no choice but to use the portal to send Mrs. Minor back to Novigrad—— Just when Lann and his team were leaving - Triss, who was better at potions and healing spells, was taking care of Mrs. Minor's body.
"She will have to recuperate for a long time, but she will be fine." Triss concluded.
Lan held his chin with his left hand, showing a thoughtful expression. His instinct told him... he might be able to help, and this seemed to be an opportunity for him.
"Where is Mrs. Minor now?"
"Chapelle has prepared a room for him to entertain distinguished guests. I am planning to notify her butler to come and pick her up."
After hearing this, Lan planned to change his appearance. Mrs Nolle's itinerary.
He soon came to visit the other party.
Different from the lonely, melancholy aristocratic lady he saw half a month ago, when Lan saw Mrs. Minor this time, her face exuded an elegant kindness and a lively atmosphere.
Even though she was bedridden at the moment, she still straightened up when she saw Lan En coming to visit, and her face showed the kindness of an old man towards a junior.
"Lan, they said you were away on business, but they didn't expect you to come back so soon." Mrs. Minoru smiled, "I heard about your great achievements in Novigrad, and you are worthy of your reputation."
"You are flattering, but my matters are not important now." Lann smiled modestly, and then showed a concerned expression, "I heard Triss talk about the accident that happened in Kaer Morhen. Your current physical condition is said to be Because of the weather in Kaer Morhen?"
Upon hearing this question, Mrs. Minor's face showed a melancholy expression: "Yeah, I really can't imagine that Vesemir has lived in a place like that for so many years. The wind and snow are like knives, no matter how thick the wall is, they can't stop it... I originally thought that I could hold on for Vesemir, but I didn't expect that my will was still awake, but my body couldn't bear it anymore." As he spoke
, , she sighed again: "I could hold on at first, but when Vesemir realized something was wrong, he collapsed completely and had to come back in a hurry. It made the children laugh." "No, no, please
. Don't say that." Lan comforted, "We all admire your courage and devotion to love, and we all sincerely wish you the best."
Mrs. Minoru smiled more kindly, but soon began to sigh again: "It's just With my current physical condition, I may not be able to stay in Kaer Morhen any longer. Vesemir promised to come and see me from time to time, but I can tell that he cannot let go of his castle and those children. I am too familiar with them. That look."
Those "children" are basically older than you, except for Shirley.
The conflict in this matter is now in front of us:
Mrs. Minor wants to be with Vesemir, but she can't adapt to the weather in Kaer Morhen; Vesemir can come over to visit Mrs. Minor from time to time, but for the wolf Pie finally returns to Kaer Morhen.
So is there a place with a suitable climate that can allow Mrs. Minoru to live for a long time, and can become the base camp of the Wolf Faction so that Vesemir can continue to shine for the cause of the witcher and live in peace for a long time?
Lann showed a sincere and sincere expression: "Mrs. Minor, why didn't you tell me earlier? You can go to Sintra!"
Mrs. Minor was stunned.
"Of course, it's not the current Cintra, but the Cintra after it is completely recovered." Lann vowed, "Based on your information, I must know the current situation in the north. I am passing through Novigrad just to attend the event. Afterwards, there will be talks at Haji Fortress to discuss the expulsion of Nilfgaard from the Northern Territory. In one year at most, the Nilfgaardians will completely leave the Northern Territory, and Cintra will recover the entire territory." Mrs. Minoru revealed
. Confused expression: "But Vesemir didn't tell me..."
Lann shook his head: "Madam, that's because Vesemir knows you too well. If you knew that Vesemir wanted to help me recover Cintra, How will you react?"
Mrs. Minoru said thoughtfully: "I will fully support Vesemir's ideals. After all, I only have money left now, and I only want him..." "
That's right, madam. This is a situation that neither Vesemir nor I want to see." Lann said sincerely, "What he wants from you is only your love, not anything else; and I can obtain Vesemir's power. It's enough, dragging the people he cherishes into the water will make me uneasy."
Mrs. Minoru thought for a while, and seemed to have discovered a blind spot: "But according to my previous understanding, the wolf sect's demon hunters are absolutely Politically neutral..."
If this continues, it will soon be anything but. Lann thought to himself.
"That's in the past. Look at my eyes." Lann pointed to his lion eyes.
"As you can see, I am a witcher. And I intend to establish a base for all witchers in Cintra and support the schools of witchers just like other countries hire warlocks as royal advisors. You have already arrived in Kelmer After living in Han for a period of time, you will definitely be able to understand Vesemir's inseparable sense of responsibility and mission for that castle and the Wolf Faction."
Mrs. Minoru nodded in agreement, precisely because of Kelmo Hanwesemir cannot live with him in Novigrad.
"So Vesemir will come to help me, not for politics, but for the school of thought. There is no other country on the continent willing to provide him with such support." Lann continued: "
In addition, I believe you also I have already met my princess. She is the unexpected son of the Wolf Faction, but she will not become a demon hunter like me. Instead, she will inherit the throne of Cintra and become the future queen. This is even more important for the Wolf Faction to help Cintra. Terra's reasons."
From the perspective of a noble, this explanation is very reasonable: What is the purpose of a self-proclaimed neutral force protecting and supporting the heir of a country?
——Of course it’s power. Could it be because of fate, responsibility or family affection?
Mrs. Minoru thought thoughtfully, and then showed a happy expression: "Did Vesemir actually start to think about the problem from this perspective? I thought he had turned into a stubborn and stupid piece of wood. Although he is a piece of wood with amazing Charming idiot..."
Seeing that Mrs. Minor recognized himself and "approved" Vesemir's idea, Lan smiled with satisfaction.
The Wolf Faction's attitude towards Cintra has been ambiguous so far. The original work did not get involved in politics even at the end of the plot. At most, Geralt passively made a few splashes in Game of Thrones because of Ciri. This is also a repeated jump between the positions of various countries. .
That's why Lann tried to attract Vesemir with the Witcher Order before, trying to win him over from another angle: not a politician, but a young witcher trying to regain his past glory.
But now Mrs. Minor's appearance has given Lann the hope of solving the problem from a new angle, a more personal angle and a more targeted bargaining chip: - "kidnapping" with love
.
Vesemir is the current only leader of the Wolf Faction. For other wolf factions, Kaer Morhen is just a place to live. They are not united in that castle, but united around Vesemir, an old friend, old master, and old father.
In the original book, Vesemir will die in the future to protect Ciri; and after Vesemir's death, Kaer Morhen will no longer have a witcher.
So for Lan and Cintra, as long as Vesemir comes, will the rest of the Wolf Faction still have to worry about it?
What bad intentions could Lan have?
"I just want to give Vesemir a home." Lann said sincerely, "That's why I told you this news in advance. I hope you won't feel sad about leaving Kaer Morhen. Please also Don't tell Vesemir, or I'm afraid he'll be upset and blame me."
Duchess Minoru is calm, intellectual, and rational. In this era, don't underestimate any widowed and wealthy woman.
But after living alone for decades, she still inevitably felt dizzy after hearing the word "home".
"Of course." She nodded shyly and elegantly, "I won't cause trouble to Vesemir."
After coming back to her senses, Mrs. Minor suddenly remembered something: "So Lan, the current situation in Cintra Is it difficult? How can I help?"
How can Mrs. Minoru help? Maybe it’s just money.
If it was Lann from two days ago, perhaps he would have hesitated. But Lann is different now. He has regained his money-making ability in the Mirror Master's mirror world. At this time, it is better to brush up Mrs. Minor's favor.
So Earl Lion put on a resolute look: "Actually, the current situation in Sintra is not as difficult as the outside world spreads. Just be prepared and wait for my good news." The wealthy Mrs.
Minoru It was a relief to see Lann, who was actually richer.
.........
Mrs. Minor's visit was a temporary intervention in Lan's schedule, and of course the results were unexpectedly good.
After coming out of the room where she was recovering, Lan continued to discuss her original purpose with Triss - to unblock the Toad Prince.
They rode away from the busy city and soon came to a secluded lake.
Lan stood aside and watched the sorceress begin to prepare for the spell-breaking magic.
Although Lan has now mastered [Transformation and Sealing Technique], after all, his skill proficiency is only level 2. Prince Ophiel is not as strong as Olgierd. What if something happens during the process of breaking the curse? Unexpectedly, all Lan En's previous efforts were in vain.
Sure enough, Triss's subsequent behavior made Lan know that the process of perfectly removing the [Transformation Device Sealing Technique] was countless times more complicated than he imagined. This is far from just reciting a mantra.
The sorceress first asked Lan to dig a hole in the ground, divert water from the lake to form a small pool, and throw the jade statue into it.
Then she placed eight symbols depicting the elven zodiac "Wika" on the edge of the small pool with stones, and lit a candle each on the symbols representing May Day, Harvest Festival and Ghost Festival; Inside the ring, pebbles from the river were used to form a small ring, dotted with magic symbols and a five-pointed star pattern.
After doing all this, she took out three metal tripods and placed them next to the candle. There was a crystal on each tripod. The cut surface of the crystal coincided with the structure of the tripod, which meant that there would be no confusion in their placement. Not the slightest mistake.
As the magic spell sounded in the open space, the candles began to burn brightly, and the crystal facets suddenly lit up, shooting out beams of light. Those beams of light converged towards the statue of the Toad Prince, causing the color of the statue's surface to quickly change from green to gold, and then turn transparent again after a moment.
The jade statue on the ground slowly trembled, its hard shell melted into glass, and the size of a human head continued to expand at the speed of lightning. It began to throb and tremble, and its structure and shape were also rapidly changing.
Until it turns into a huge monster the size of a small pavilion.
The candle smoked and the crystal's light dimmed. Triss lowered her arms, moved her fingers, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
After the curse was lifted, pain surged into the giant toad's nerves.
But before the monster could regain its size, it screamed, and then a large amount of black smoke appeared on its body. They burrowed out from various places on its skin like worms, and then dispersed into the air.
This black mist is definitely not the effect that the [Transformation Sealing Technique] should have to remove the curse, but Olgierd's black magic.
As Lan watched, the giant toad that had just been freed from a spell once again emitted magical aura, and then began to wriggle its flesh and blood in a painful way. An astonishing amount of mucus continued to flow from his body. The ground is drained.
Accompanied by bursts of screams, twists, and retching, the giant toad finally returned to its human form.
He was a thin young man, his whole body covered in colorful filth, his eyes dirty and hasty.
"Hey, do you remember who you are? What's your name?"
Lan shouted loudly. However, Triss saw a green aura glowing on her hand again after finishing the spell-breaking spell. Then she took out an alchemy sealing bottle and poured all the liquid inside into the small pool in front of her.
This is healing magic and a matching magic potion.
The man's screams were louder, but obviously much more powerful.
After Lan repeated the question three or four times, the man in front of him seemed to have finally recovered his hearing, or perhaps his brain was finally able to process information from the outside world.
He opened his trembling eyelids and looked at the majestic blond knight and the simple but beautiful sorceress in front of him with fear.
"I am... the prince of Ophiel, who are you, and where is this... I should be in Cowburg..."
Triss nodded after hearing the other party's coherent words: "Very good, he His brain is not broken, and the most troublesome situation has not occurred."
Prince Ophiel glanced at Triss blankly, then looked blankly at himself, and his eyes turned to his lower body soaked in the water.
"I seem to..."
"This is normal." Lan interrupted him, "You'd better check if there is any bleeding, because the process of dispelling the magic may damage the kidneys." The prince was almost stunned
. He is half a puppet. He listens to Lann's words and observes the changes in the water honestly.
"There is no blood..."
Triss was satisfied: "The curse was successfully broken."
Then the sorceress turned around and began to pack away the auxiliary equipment for casting spells, while Lan began to try to continue communicating with Prince Ophiel:
"Recall carefully , you may not have the memory of being sealed into a sculpture, but there should still be some impressions of those hazy years, right?" The
prince in the water began to think.
Severe pain immediately surged into Prince Ofir's head. His pupils slowly expanded, and then began to shake violently, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
There was another violent retching and trembling, and he passed out in his own pool.
Lan glanced at Triss: "Is this a normal reaction?"
"There is no precedent, but I guess it is." Thinking of what Prince Ofir has suffered in recent years, Triss nodded sympathetically. , "That experience was so terrifying that it caused his brain to go into a self-protective coma. I wouldn't be surprised if there is amnesia later on." Then the sorceress took a step back and looked
at Lan, expressing her refusal to remove this prince from the world. Fish out puddles of mucus, vomit and excrement.
Lan could only shrug.
...
Three days later, Temple Island.
During these three days, Prince Ofir's consciousness was intermittent, and he had an extremely strong stress reaction. He was afraid of the dark, wet, and even women.
This made Triss, who wanted to treat him, unable to get close to him, and could only use Lan to administer pharmaceuticals for treatment.
In addition to Triss's potion, there was another thing that was beyond Lan's expectation that improved Prince Ophir's situation.
That is the eternal fire.
Prince Ofir, who was afraid of the dark, showed an astonishing enthusiasm for flames. Chapet even arranged for a priest to come over and read the doctrine to him and recite religious books to him, which actually stabilized his situation.
But on the third day now, after Prince Ofir's sanity has basically returned, this situation no longer exists.
As for Lann, his group, and the Eternal Flame, it is unknown how deeply they left a mark on Prince Ofir's heart.
The person sitting in front of Lan at this moment was weak and tired, but he had an almost rigid dignity that was revealed in his bones.
Prince of Ophir. It's hard to imagine that just a few days ago he was a giant, man-eating toad.
He said sincerely to Lan: "I want to thank you, you saved my life, Prince of Cintra."
Ofir is an extremely distant country, and the people in the north describe it as "south of the south." , meaning further south from the southern region where Nilfgaard is located. There is no trace of it on the currently known continental maps, and people can only guess that Ofir is on the other side of the sea.
Of course, Ophiel has his own language. However, this prince is a student studying in Niubu after all, so the language barrier is naturally no problem.
At this moment, Lann smiled back at the prince's thanks: "I am not a prince, Your Highness. You can call me Earl Lannister." "
If possible, I would rather call you Lann, okay?" Ou Prince Phil smiled and said, "You can't imagine how grateful I am to you. When I think about the terrible things I have experienced, I tremble with fear." "And I have heard many wonderful
stories about you in the past few days. . Demon hunter, right? We don’t have such a magical profession there. I also heard about the situation when you encountered me. In that situation, it didn’t matter even if you killed me, and you would even get praise. "
Prince Ophiel sighed: "But you finally chose to spare my life, and you also found a way to help me lift the curse. It can be said that you saved me more than once, how should I thank you?" Of course I have to thank you very much
. !
The smile on Lan's face remained unchanged: "I think the most important thing at this stage is to help you contact your country first. After all, you have lost news for such a long time." Prince Ofir nodded in agreement: "
I I need to go back to Cowburg first. There is a communication device left for me by my royal mage there. I don’t know if it is still there..." "That's right."
Ofir's eyes lit up, "I am talking to the mage. When contacting me, I can also ask him to bring my 'thank you' to you back from Ofir." "
Lan, do you like zebras or elephants? Oh, you may not know what I'm talking about. Zebras are horses with stripes on their bodies, and elephants are, in your words, 'giant beasts with tails on their faces'. They are both rare items. We often use them as gifts when trading with the southern part of the mainland." Zebras and
elephants elephant. Northerners may not have seen it, but Lan En has seen a lot in his previous life. That's not what he wants.
However, Lan still pretended to be thinking to hide his true purpose. He wanted to wait for the other party to speak out.
"Zebra...is a horse, right? How does it perform on the battlefield? How strong is its foot, and how much weight can it carry? As for an elephant...you say it is a giant beast, can it be tamed? How powerful can it be in the battle? Function?"
Prince Ophir was stunned by Lann's pragmatic words for a moment: "Zebras are not war horses... As for elephants, we do have elephant soldiers there, but they are mostly used as honor guards for sacrifices and royal banquets. Generally speaking, , they are all used as gifts because of their scarcity, used to show the master's strength when receiving guests..."
Lann showed an awkward but polite smile, seeming to be embarrassed by his shallow knowledge.
