Chapter 26: Mossack has broken his heart
and the drama is here, Lan thought to himself.
He wanted to become a demon hunter in order to fully activate his golden finger. Liberate all the bug skills above, and then rely on adding points to gain the power to form an army by one person, destroy a country by one person, and even overwhelm the world. You must know that the skills Lan can choose now are less than a quarter of the total number!
As for side effects such as fertility, this world is so magical, and with power and a long lifespan, what can't be done? What he lacks most now is the key to unlock supernatural powers.
But Lann obviously couldn't talk to the druid like this. So as a time traveler, how do you convince the elders around you to support your sudden and deviant ideas?
The most complex ideas often require only the simplest expressions. And explaining one's thoughts on occultism to the occultists often requires only simple occultist techniques.
What's more, Lann himself is not without any basis for supernatural powers.
[Talent: Ancient Blood (Unawakened)] can sometimes play some unexpected roles.
"Dream." Lann said firmly, "I had a dream."
"Dream?" Mossak was stunned.
It's not that he doesn't believe it. Many magic sources will have precognitive dreams when they are not awakened, and many people who have awakened magic but cannot become sorcerers and mages will also have the ability to dream divination. After the destruction of Cintra, Ciri relied on dreams to turn danger into danger and point out the direction many times; and when the demon hunter Geralt was looking for the adult Ciri, he also turned to a dream diviner for divination.
"After my parents died, you know I was seriously ill for a while. During this period, I had many dreams. I dreamed that Nilfgaardian soldiers invaded Cintra, and the cavalry crushed everything here, and the fire burned everything here. . And in the flames, a man with golden glowing eyes gathered the refugees and used magic to protect the remaining seeds of Cintra.
I was tortured by this nightmare in the hospital bed for several months, and it did not disappear until I recovered. But that But the scene in my dream lingers. That’s why I pursue magic and search for witchers.”
Lann Lannister Leanne, the ancient man whose parents died because of Nilfgaard a year ago The heir of blood said so.
If a peasant boy said this, he might be taken to exorcise the devil by his family; if someone from Nilfgaard said this, he might be burned to death; even if Lann said this to Queen Calanthe, he might be burned to death. He would have been laughed out loud by the Queen.
But how would Mossack react if he told these words to Mossack, a learned and experienced druid and spellcaster?
The more knowledgeable a person is, the more he will explore when encountering knowledge that touches his or her own field. Many things that ordinary people think are impossible and unbelievable, scholars will not deny them the first time they see them, but will analyze them.
So Mossak began to analyze.
Is it a subconscious dream caused by the death of both parents? Fear and hatred of Nilfgaard seeping into Lan's dreams?
Mossack was dubious.
Or is it a precognitive dream caused by the ancient blood, indicating that Cintra will really be invaded by Nilfgaard in the future? But there is no record of the ancient blood awakening in a male heir?
He took Lan's hand again and felt the power in his body.
I didn't feel anything. This body was just like an ordinary person's.
He felt the hand of the boy in front of him trembling slightly as he was holding it. It seemed that he was losing control of his emotions because of recalling the terrifying dreams and his tragic past.
Mossak relented.
After all, he is the child he has watched grow up. Mossack thought for a while and said: "You are indeed not the source of magic. There is no way to become a mage. I don't want you to become a demon hunter. So be it, I will do it again.
" I'm going to find a safer, side-effect-free way for you to have the power of magic, and you have to promise me not to be reckless and try those messy methods." Lann nodded,
that was enough.
Although there is no complete showdown, with this conversation as a starting point, it will obviously be much easier to get some occult help from Mossack later.
And Lann needs Mossack's help right now.
"Uncle Mossack, have you heard of Professor Thomas Moreu?" Lann said. "I heard when I was interrogating the witcher that this professor seems to be very famous in the research of witchers."
Mossack was surprised to hear the name from Lane. He nodded and replied: "Indeed, he is famous in our circle for his passion for studying demon hunters.
But I haven't heard from him for a long time. There are rumors that he died in one of his secret laboratories Here, this is not a rare thing for mages. Is this what you heard from your demon hunter captives?"
Lann replied: "I wonder if that professor has some advanced demon hunters. His research results have not been discovered. It is said that he has a laboratory in the Valley of the Nine, and I would like to visit it." Of course,
the bandit leader did not know this kind of news. The information Lan said he obtained from the original world was that Professor Thomas Moreu had a son who was a demon hunter. He was committed to turning his son back into an ordinary person, but in the end, he accidentally gave his son the ability of a demon hunter. A wave of enhancements was carried out, creating an unprecedented second mutation of the demon hunter!
According to the settings in the game, the success rate of this mutation is quite high. Perhaps it can be compared with the Demon Hunter Trial to enhance the success rate of the trial? Even if it doesn't work, it's a good thing to have some backup.
Mossak sighed: "I know, I will ask my friends for information about Professor Moru. But how did your demon hunter prisoner know this kind of information?"
Lann was already prepared for this. He took out the crystal that had absorbed all the magic power: "That demon hunter seems to have trading relationships with some mages, and provides materials for smuggling to warlocks in need. I am very interested in these things."
Mossack He took the crystal and looked at it for a while, then asserted: "This crystal is in good condition, but there is almost no magic power in it. This kind of crystal is a must-have for mages, and I also have a communication device with this as its core."
Lan En's eyes lit up, and there was a light in them like a child asking for gifts and pocket money from its parents.
Mossack covered his eyes slightly and sighed again. He never thought that the first day back to Sintra would give him such a headache: "It is impossible to give mine to you. Normally, because there is no extra Because of the demand, I didn’t deliberately collect it, and you can’t use this kind of rough stone... Forget it, if you like it, I will help you keep an eye on some magic items that you can use." Lann's eyes brightened
: "Thank you, Uncle Mossack!"
Druid looked at the blond young man in front of him. He seemed to be a kid the size of a pea, but in the blink of an eye he turned into a knight as tall as himself. He wanted to pat Lan's shoulder, but he couldn't find the right position for his raised hand.
"Everything is waiting for the news from me. Don't contact some messy things on your own initiative." "
Of course."
Mossak rubbed his face and let the smile return to his face: "What else? Anything else? I’m going to teach Shiri soon, so don’t let me continue to have a headache.”
Actually no more, but the opportunity is rare. Lan thought for a while and said: "I'm very curious about things in the warlock circle. If possible, could you introduce to me who are the more influential mages today?" Mossack nodded: "Okay
, Just treat it as a lesson for you." As
he spoke, he stretched out his hand to call over Shiri, who had been looking around for a long time, and said:
"In the 8th century, the warlock leaders Jan Becker, Giambattista and Joe Free Monk signed a non-aggression pact with the authorities, priests and druids, and established the 'Novigrad League', which promoted the separation of the magicians from the state power. The autonomy of the magicians gradually developed into the 'Warlocks' The "Brotherhood" unites and controls the vast majority of magic users.
There are two management organizations above the "Warlock Brotherhood", called the "Wizards' Council" and the "Warlocks Supreme Council", each of which has five mages as members. A total of ten powerful mages jointly manage the 'Warlock Brotherhood'.
Among them, the members of the 'Wizard Brotherhood' include Vigofortz of Logoeven..."
...
A secret experiment on an unknown island In the room.
A handsome man who looked about thirty-five years old was looking through the magic book in front of him. He was dressed in a sophisticated mage's attire, but he was tall and strong.
"Vilgefortz, the demon hunter of Cintra is dead."
Vilgefortz of Rogeiwen received the news.
PS: I was delayed by some things during the day, and I didn’t set a timer, so I posted it at night. There will be another chapter in a moment.
