Chapter 222 Ciri: Lan and I are super strong!
Bilna screamed at the giant bear and hugged Svenregi tightly:
"Get away, you beast! You are just a beast! Why should you hurt my son!" "
He is Tursek. The heir of the family, the future King of Skellige! You have no right to hurt him, no qualifications! Get away!!"
Facts have proved that royal power has no meaning to the beast. All living beings are equal before the claws and giant teeth, and the bear's paw is comparable to a heavy hammer. They will be treated differently depending on the identity of the prey.
Svenregi's left shoulder and the lower half of his upper back were horribly dented, and his entire arm became weak.
He struggled to pull out the dagger with his still intact right hand, as if trying to push his mother away. But he couldn't lift his hand at all, and instead began to spurt blood from his mouth. It was obvious that his internal organs were injured.
If he was sent to the Druid Circle for treatment in time, he might be able to be saved.
But the commotion at the scene obviously hadn't stopped yet, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to the hospital.
They were in the corner of the hall, and everyone else around them had been torn to pieces. The nearest guard was twenty steps away from them, and was also entangled by a giant bear that came out of nowhere.
At this moment, the person closest to Queen Bierna was actually Crazy Lugo. He was preparing for the subsequent boxing match, so he was warming up away from the crowd.
But the madman is indeed a madman. Even though he only has light armor and the dagger has been removed from his body at this moment, he actually took out a wine bottle from nowhere and threw it out, hitting the giant bear's head accurately while letting out a loud cry. and, trying to attract the attention of the beast.
Unfortunately this has no effect.
Dire bears are not creatures like griffins that like to challenge the strong in a meaningless manner, and their attacks are more pragmatic. Weak, defenseless prey with sweet blood flowing through it are their first targets.
It doesn't even need to approach the orphans and widows in front of it, it can crush any head in front of it by just raising its palm.
...
At a critical moment, an unexpected person appeared.
The queen and prince were indeed far away from all the armored warriors, but they ignored the fact that there were other attendees with swords around them.
A rat-gray whirlwind jumped into the battlefield.
She rolled and quickly approached the enemy. When she stood up, she had already pulled out the "Swallow" stabbing sword from her waist.
The slender sword is inlaid with beautiful nephrite and precious stones, and the hilt is carved into the shape of a swift by skilled craftsmen. This is a precious ritual weapon that once licked the blood of the enemy when the city of Sintra was broken.
The stabbing sword was held in Ciri's hand, and the princess, who had been trained in Kaer Morhen, had firm eyes.
She used the amazing flexibility she had developed from the "single-plank bridge" and the "big pendulum" to avoid the smelly wind facing the giant bear. She tapped her toes on the ground and flapped her wings like a swift in the storm. He turned around and walked around behind the giant bear.
The body leaps, the movements stretch, the sword light shines slightly, and blood splashes.
With a roar, the giant bear suddenly stood up.
And on the back of its neck, there is a small stabbing sword.
...
The victory was achieved, but Xili frowned in frustration.
The fur of the giant bear is too thick and the skin is too tough. Even if it is chopped with a giant ax, it cannot guarantee a kill with one blow, let alone this stabbing sword, which is more ornamental than practical.
Ciri originally wanted to use the biological knowledge learned by Kaer Morhen to try to use a "swallow" to penetrate the gap in the giant bear's spine to destroy its nerves.
As a result, she overestimated her own strength and underestimated the giant bear. Now not only was the opponent not killed, the weapon was even stuck on the opponent's neck.
At the same time, she was also upset about her current dress.
"Lan is right. This outfit is really not suitable for a witcher-type battle. It hinders my movements..." Being
attacked suddenly, the giant bear's attention was completely drawn. It turned around suddenly and faced Ciri let out an angry roar.
"Roar!!!"
"Little princess, run! Don't you people in Sintra know how to be afraid?" Crazy Lugo felt that he was really going crazy.
Although he is a rogue, he still has the most basic pride of the islanders. He will not be happy no matter which one of the underage princess, the powerless queen, and the seriously injured prince dies in front of him.
Still, the giant bear's paws will not treat it differently based on the identity of the prey; even if it does, the status of the subjugated princess is not as good as the Queen of Skellige.
At the same time, because he was irritated, the slap was even stronger this time.
However, facing a blow that was enough to crush her head, Ciri did not panic at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Then she actually laughed.
I saw the little princess put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, looked directly at the giant bear, and shouted her special move:
"Lann!!!"
The next second, the words did not fall.
Golden light flashed, blocking the way between the giant bear and the princess.
There was no seal, no sword, and the short time was not enough for Lann to react; he was only wearing leather armor at the moment, and he had no time to pull out the dagger as a ritual weapon on his waist.
But he doesn't need to.
...
The system displays: [Health value: 6150/6150].
The health value will increase simultaneously with the physical strength. Only a strong body can support the majestic vitality. This is very reasonable.
And how much health does a normal witcher have?
You can refer to Black Wind. The physique of the demon hunter "horse" is actually stronger than that of the demon hunter "human", and its health value is - [1500/1500].
A perfect demon hunter mutation, an incidental mutation resulting from the complete awakening of ancient blood, more than 30 levels of system upgrade attribute bonuses, plus the [Barrier] talent shared from the trolls, have superimposed Lann's physique to A scary level.
"Being able to box with trolls" is no longer a joke.
...
Skellig's giant bear is much larger than its counterparts on the mainland, and even falls into the category of "monster". When it stands upright, it is more than ten feet long, and Lann can only reach its chest and abdomen.
But facing a bear paw that was almost as big as two of his own hands, Lan stretched out his arm without changing his expression and made a reaction that no one expected -
punching.
A left jab is generally used in competitions to test the opponent's sense of distance and reaction speed.
With a "bang" sound, the bear's paw covered with thick fat collided with Lan's exploratory attack, and then there was a "click" sound like a biscuit being broken.
The giant bear's unstoppable body suddenly stiffened.
Lan didn't give the giant bear a chance to react.
He is smaller and more agile. When the giant bear paused, he bent down and dived without being affected at all, twisting his waist and shoulders.
The second punch was a straight right punch.
There was a "boom" sound, like a giant hammer hitting a thick cowhide shield. The waves of flesh spread out around the giant bear's body with Lann's fist as the center, and its body also bowed down.
This is not because of pain, the giant bear has not had time to react to the pain. Bowing the waist is purely a deformation of the body in the sense of physical and physiological structure under the action of force.
With this movement, the giant bear's head was delivered to Lan's body at the right moment.
Without a trace of hesitation, Lan En stepped on the ground and turned his shoulders, raising his arms and wrists.
The third punch, uppercut!
...
The crazy Lugo who was watching didn't know how to describe the sound made by the collision of fists and flesh. He only saw a huge black shadow suddenly rising into the sky, and his body weighing nearly a ton seemed to be thrown by a huge wave. It flew over like a small boat.
He hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid being crushed to death as a spectator.
Looking back, he saw the scary blond young man hugging his princess, making a strange gesture with his backhand and pointing it at the door.
The next second, a huge impact storm was released from the hand, as if an invisible heavy hammer blasted open the two heavy wooden doors wrapped in iron sheets.
Crazy Lugo hugged his head, was he really crazy? Did you actually provoke a guy like this to boxing before?
...
"House, Milva, protect the princess to a safe place immediately! Find the guards from the castle and come over for support. They must have heard the noise."
After giving the order, Lan quickly scanned the battlefield.
The size of these bears is very wrong. Each of them is the kind of apex predator that can occupy a mountain top and become the king. It takes an entire large hunting territory to support one. They are actually appearing together at this moment. It is normal. Absolutely no one believes it.
Thinking of the way they appeared silently, Lann quickly made a judgment in his mind based on some knowledge from his previous life and his study of Skellige's history these days.
But whatever the truth, dealing with these giant bears as quickly as possible is what really matters right now.
The situation in the banquet hall at this moment is really not good.
The combination of leather armor and dagger may defeat a single evil spirit, not to mention hunting bears.
But the Skellige people really regard death as death and value glory more than life. Facing these almost impossible opponents, they almost use their bodies as shields and nets to delay the footsteps of these giant bears.
One famous warrior after another died as a result, but there were also experienced warriors who seized the opportunity and killed two giant bears in a sneak attack with the cooperation of their companions.
The most eye-catching one was the boxer that Lan noticed before who absolutely suppressed his opponent.
Unlike other people who cooperated to face the giant bear, he directly threw away his arms and faced a giant bear alone. He used the dagger as a claw and began to fight hand-to-hand with the beast in front of him.
Every knife he struck would bring a handful of blood and screams of pain to the giant bear's body, but when the giant bear's heavy palm fell on him, it could only cause a burst of golden ripples, but it could not shake him at all.
If he encounters a powerful and heavy attack, he will use his skillful body skills to get past it, leaving more wounds on the giant bear's body.
After only a few rounds of this, the giant bear was already scarred. When Lan looked over, he saw the boxer using his arms, which were not much thinner than the giant bear, to choke the giant beast, and slowly and accurately buried the dagger from the ear into the bear's brain. .
If the boxer fights in a jousting ring, in a village, or in the wild, he will be greeted with plaudits and maybe even a knighthood.
Unfortunately, at this moment, all that could be heard around him were roars and wails.
...
This boxer killed a giant bear alone, Lann killed one himself, and a dozen other warriors killed another bear desperately.
There were also five giant bears on site.
At the moment when Lan was thinking, two lords of the seven major families had killed all their guards and were lying helplessly under the attack of the giant bear, waiting for death.
If they develop according to the normal process, they will be enough to kill everyone in this banquet hall and completely collapse the entire Skellige Islands.
But this was not allowed, not by Lord Lann Lannister Wrenland.
...
Purple brilliance spread out in the hall in the blink of an eye, and the Arden rune symbolizing the ether element appeared on the edge. The entire hall was enveloped by this extremely huge magic circle.
The boxer who fought a giant bear alone was panting. His face changed drastically after seeing the purple magic circle. He was about to burst out the newly learned Skellige curse words, but in the next second he was surprised to find that his body was still able to Move freely.
Looking up, he saw that this magic circle seemed to have intelligence and could distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Purple brilliance clung to the bodies of the five giant bears, and from time to time, incandescent lightning that he could not understand struck towards them.
The beast's hill-like body seemed to have been pressed on a buffer button, falling slowly in mid-air at the speed of falling leaves. Its ferocious face and frightening roar even seemed absurdly funny in this situation.
The lords were all in danger and had experienced many battles. The next second they saw an opportunity, they skillfully rolled and climbed out of the attack range of the giant beast.
Angry, they were pulling out the daggers from their waists to fight back, but the scene in front of them the next second told them what real power was.
Golden light flashes.
...
The dark golden lion eyes were instantly filled with emerald energy, shooting out a finger-long brilliance, and invisible chaotic energy spread out in all directions with Lann as the center.
The world slowed down in Lan's eyes.
Quickly judging the situation on the field, Lan flipped his wrist and took out the black magic scimitar, and then his figure disappeared on the spot.
A golden light flashed and appeared beside a giant bear that was buffering the air and making a pounce. The scimitar drew an arc and cut towards the throat.
The weird giant bear gives a slight chopping blockage feeling - "slightly".
Blood sprayed out, and the light emitted from the black magic scimitar became brighter, and the red inside was richer than blood.
...
There was a second flash of golden light, and this time Lann appeared next to an old man with white hair and beard. If I remember correctly, this was the lord of the Haimei family.
Squeezing the old man aside, there was no extra time and no need to communicate. Lan used a machete to cut open the bear's paw that was almost attached to his body, and then dwarfed into the giant bear's arms.
This giant bear doesn't have any unpleasant beast body odor and is very clean.
The scimitar also passed through the body very cleanly, and then disappeared together with Lan.
...
The people in the hall were dazzled, only to see three and four flashes of golden light, while the giant bear fell to the ground spitting blood after each flash of light.
By the time Lann flashed for the last time, the scimitar he held tightly in his hand had been wrapped in illusory blood, and the rich red light illuminated Lann's side face more fiercely than a giant bear.
In front of him was the last giant bear. At this moment, he stood upright, showing the most intimidating posture to his prey.
Lann arched his body, raised the black magic scimitar high above his head, and after taking a breath to gather strength, slashed it down with all his strength.
He was standing five steps away from the giant bear. Just when the people paying attention to the battlefield were wondering whether Lan had made a mistake, the blood glow on the black magic scimitar seemed to have found a vent and condensed into a solid body. Lan En's sword swing was completely released.
With a "Woo" sound, the wind moved towards Lann left and right, leaving deep cracks on the ground, while the giant bear in front of him froze its entire body like a sculpture.
With a "boom", the wall behind the giant bear suddenly collapsed. And with this loud noise, a blood line appeared on the top of the giant bear's head, extending slowly but firmly until it was divided into two halves.
This roaring mountain of meat was split open, but everyone who witnessed this attack firmly believed that even if what was in front of them were real rocks and reefs, they would not be able to withstand this attack.
Lann's figure flickered for a final moment, avoiding the splash of blood and internal organs of the giant bear.
Golden light appeared five steps away from King Bran, causing the guards protecting the king to assume a tense combat posture.
The door that Lann had blasted open with [Alder's Seal] was once again knocked open, and House arrived belatedly with more than 30 fully armed royal guards.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
the guards shouted loudly.
King Bran shouted louder than them: "The danger has passed, check the wounded, and go and ask the Druids to come over!" "
And my son, go to the Druid Circle and ask for the most senior master to come over. !!"
...
The warriors who had just fought the giant bear breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground one after another. Cold sweat soaked their backs, but from then on they also had new glory to carry on their backs.
Lann walked aside and gently wiped the blood on the black magic scimitar.
"Alice, how does it feel to be so directly involved in the battle for the first time?"
The orchid-like voice in the empty valley directly echoed in Lan's mind:
"We will have to do this from now on, fighting side by side."
...
Because the escorts Fearless of death, and with Lan's timely support, the seven lords of Skellige fortunately did not encounter any accidents. Maybe a little bruised, but nothing serious.
"Your Majesty, how is Svenrej's condition?"
"We have a warlock who helped stabilize his injury, and then sent him to the Druid Circle through the portal. He will be fine...at least for the time being, his life is not in danger. "
King Bran was gloomy, with anger like a giant wave squeezing out of his tall and strong body.
Lann, East, and people from the other six major families were also sitting around the round table.
It was only a few hours before the attack, and the lords gathered together again after briefly treating their injuries and counting the wounded.
If they were nobles from the mainland, they might rush back to their territory to gather guards to calm their frightened mood.
But the islanders cannot bear this grievance, and revenge cannot be overnight.
Therefore, after they finished handling the matters at hand, they immediately gathered around the round table and began to review the chaos that occurred today.
An old man stood up first, holding a horn cup in his hand. There was no fancy opening, and he got straight to the point as soon as he spoke.
"Everyone knows that I live next to the goddess Freya. Therefore, I am quite familiar with various cultures of the archipelago."
This old man is Dona Ann Cinda, the leader of the Haimei family, Indals Lord of Fair Isle.
He is the oldest lord present and the most virtuous lord besides the king. He is famous for his wisdom, prudence and piety.
Seeing him speak, the unruly islander lords also listened carefully. On the one hand, they respect him, and on the other hand, they all agree that the old lord must have something to say.
Dona Ann Cinda looked around: "I found a contamination at the bottom of the cup that should never appear in fine wine - blood." As he said that, the old man asked everyone to
pass the horn cup around.
There is no islander who can become a family leader who is not familiar with blood. Even if it is covered with alcohol, they can smell the fishy smell from it.
"Blood, giant bears, and the way they suddenly appeared out of nothing. Guys, doesn't this evoke your memories?" "
You mean..." one of the lords muttered in disbelief, "No. Maybe, we have completely eliminated them long ago, and we will eliminate them together, together!"
The lord who spoke had a sickly complexion and heavy dark circles under his eyes. If it appeared in a big city like Novigrad, Lann would definitely think that this lord was a loyal fan of anesthetic powder.
His prestige was not very high, and this cowardly statement that avoided reality was quickly ridiculed by other lords.
"But the fact is that they are back, Udaric!" Dona Ann Sinda's voice was low and majestic, "Can you think of any other reasons?" "There is no second possibility, it's
Svabo Luo Shen Sect! That barbaric sect that worshiped evil gods, that sect that was destroyed by us. Their remnants were hiding in a corner and developing secretly, and now they are back." "It has happened, let's not worry about why it happened
. , but should think about how to prevent it from happening again!"
The lords lowered their heads in thought.
"Dona, what you just said is correct. We should not dwell on the past. Our eyes should be looking forward." A lord suddenly spoke, the skin color on his hands showing a strange black color, "But there is one thing we To find out, this will help us find those damn evil believers later - how did they sneak into the banquet?" As soon as
this question came out, there was a slight silence.
They were all waiting for one person to speak out first: that was King Bran.
The banquet held on Little Skellig Island ended up being sneaked in without any trace, causing huge casualties to various families. You must know that those who are qualified to be taken to a banquet of this size by the lords are either the outstanding juniors in the family or friends and comrades who can usually trust their lives.
If King Bran's son and wife were not attacked in front of everyone, and his son was now seriously injured and dying, everyone would even suspect that this was King Bran's trick to completely unify Skellige.
In silence, King Bran sighed.
He looked at his silent brother East and suddenly said:
"No one can do this kind of thing quietly. There can't be such a big loophole in my castle, so it can only be an insider." "
This It was my dereliction of duty. It was me who called everyone here, and as a result, everyone suffered huge losses. If anyone needs to take responsibility, it can only be me." "I promise you that I will catch the conspirators
. , no matter who he is."
"But this is not enough. My glory does not allow this to happen in my land, so I decided to resign as king!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally turbulent meeting suddenly erupted into a huge wave, and everyone present changed their expressions.
Immediately some lords stood up excitedly, but King Bran did not give them a chance to speak.
"In my last moment as king, I would like to make an initiative."
Before King Bran could finish speaking, he looked at everyone present.
"The matter involves the Svablo Sect, so this is not just an act of revenge for today's banquet. It is also a compensation for our Skellige's past mistakes and a contribution to our stable life in the future." "So I would like to initiate -
check The person who reveals the truth about this assassination and destroys the Svablo sect will become our next king!"
