Chapter 327: This plan is the content of the next volume.
Black Wind's sudden disappearance set off alarm bells in Xili's heart.
After discovering that even Nanomi and the Troll family had been summoned away by [Teleport], Ciri realized that Lann was in big trouble on the eastern front, so she had no choice but to transfer these combat forces.
The little girl's heart twitched.
Ensuring Lan's safety is Ciri's most urgent and important wish; and Ciri also knows that as long as the war continues, Lan will not stop putting himself in danger - then just let the war win by the way. .
After the restoration of the country, she will become the queen and let Lan be the king, and there will be no danger in the future.
...
"I hope Lann can be safe in the next war, and I hope he can achieve all the victories he wants!"
So Ciri made this wish.
But the illusive face of Di Jing in front of him suddenly showed a troubled look: "You have two wishes... and you only have one last wish left."
Xili said loudly: "Then Lan En can be safe. To achieve the victory he wants without any trouble! This can be regarded as a wish!"
Even Jie Long and Jie Long were slightly shocked by the little princess' sudden increase in momentum.
"...Okay."
Di Jing felt aggrieved.
This wish seems to be particularly difficult. In order to realize it, Di Jing's originally softened light suddenly became as dazzling as the sun, which means that it is fully activating its own magic that has not been understood by experts and scholars so far.
The Dijing can be defeated by a high-level warlock or a master demon hunter. There is no way to transcend life and death, but their power can achieve many miracles - such as affecting destiny.
The gryphon emblem on Kelda's chest began to beat crazily on his chest like a fish that landed on the beach.
After a while, the light dimmed.
"Your wishes...all came true."
The next second, a bright emerald light spot lit up around Xiri.
——Lan
's teleportation skills still have limitations after all. When he puts a mark on someone else, he can only roughly sense the distance between the other person and himself, but he cannot sense the other person's physical condition and whether he is in danger like a fully automatic monitoring.
The follower panel can simply reflect some situations through the follower's health and task bar, but it requires Lan to take the time to look at it, and it will not pop up "your follower is in danger" or "your follower is in battle" quite intelligently. Such tips.
Coincidentally, Lann's operations on the eastern front were hindered at this moment, and he did not have time to pay too much attention to the panel, which resulted in him not being able to notice the strangeness of Brochlon Town at the first time.
And it just so happened that Lann encountered too many obstacles on the eastern front, so he had no choice but to summon [Followers] to go to the front line to prepare for support. Only then did he learn from the mouth of the Night Demon Nanomi that great changes had taken place in the town of Blochlon. , rushed back as soon as possible.
With the help of the [Teleport] skill that slows down time after it is in place, Lan quickly looks around to judge the situation and prepares to formulate a subsequent battle plan, or simply take Ciri away directly.
Then he was dumbfounded.
"...Teacher? And Master Kelda?"
...
The djinn revealed its true face. The Djinn, as huge as a barn, broke through the dense canopy and rose into the air. It was free and no longer bound by someone's wishes. It quickly broke through the clouds with a victorious laugh and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Shirley chattered to Lann about what happened in just one night, while Jielong stood aside with a smile and nodded in agreement from time to time.
Lan En broke out in a cold sweat.
He has put a teleportation mark on Xili. No matter where she is caught, she can be teleported back to him, or he can teleport to her. In theory, Ciri will never lose it.
But if it weren't for the timely response of Cohen and others tonight, the unexpected arrival of the high-level vampire Regis for help, and Ciri's amazing fighting power, then he would have lost at least one town in the rear and all the money he had finally saved. of craftsmen and medical teams.
Even Cohen, who is from the Griffin School, almost folded in.
At this moment, Lan also connected everything with the instant changes on the battlefield. He couldn't help but look south, and he seemed to see a big flag with a black sun.
The hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield are just to distract himself and the soldiers on the front line. Is Emhyr's real purpose actually to create a void in the rear and capture Ciri?
Although there was no way Ciri could be captured, this time Emhyr almost hit him with a punch, and Cintra's rear was almost collapsed.
I have to guard against it in the future.
"Teacher, thank you for being here this time." Lann breathed a sigh of relief.
Jie Long put his right hand on the disciple's shoulder and before he started to comfort him, there was a sudden "hula" and a bright emerald-colored flame ignited among several people.
Shirley was startled at first, and then showed a surprised expression: "Alice, are you okay?"
The soul in the painting appeared. As a unique being in the world, she possesses abilities that others cannot imagine. In addition to the unique abilities of the [Demon Spirit] category such as virtualization, possession, and soul fire teleportation, Alice also has many unique skills.
What has been demonstrated is creating a world in a painting and jumping between different paintings. What can allow Alice to appear safely at this moment is a skill called [Soul Resurrection] - after the soul in the painting is damaged, she can He immersed his body into his paintings and absorbed the power from the paintings to recover from his injuries.
In the game, Alice's obsession clone mastered this skill as the game BOSS, and once made Lann, a player who had not mastered the know-how to clear the level, ecstasy.
This skill is particularly reassuring at this moment.
However, it can be seen that Alice's body is still a little erratic. She did not hibernate in the painting until her injuries were completely recovered. She only condensed the body that was scattered by the Dijing and then hurriedly came out because she was worried about Ciri.
She didn't feel relieved until she saw Lan En, Jie Long and others present.
Ciri immediately jumped into Alice's arms. The scene in the painting of the soul screaming in the sky and being beaten into sparks all over the sky really frightened her.
Geron, Kelda and Alice nodded in greeting. Lann once brought the spirit in the painting that possessed [Alice]'s scimitar to Kelseren, and they knew each other.
Then Lan hesitated for a moment, slowly stepped forward, hugged Ciri and pulled Alice into his arms.
"Thank you for your hard work..."
The kind smiles of elders that Jeron and Kelda had always maintained suddenly changed, and their eyes, which had experienced more than four hundred years in total, showed shock.
...
Alice recovered from her injuries through racial advantages, but others did not have such good luck.
Lann first checked on Cohen. This loyal friend had a broken arm and a leg, cracked back and ribs, and probably had a serious concussion.
This kind of injury would be fatal or disabled by conventional medical treatment, but with the help of druids and tree spirits, Lann was different. Now that the druids are all on the front line, Lan plans to take this old brother and soak him in the water of Brochlon for a while, and treat it as a vacation.
Although there is nothing wrong with using skill points to collect [Followers] to allow Cohen to instantly recover from his injuries, and Lan is very sure that it will not cost too much experience points to recover Cohen, but Lan thinks that this opportunity, which is equivalent to a rebirth, should be retained. It's better when it's more life-or-death situations.
The skill point of restoring Cohen can be dispensed with, but the other half-dead person on the scene is hard to say -
Lan can barely see half of Regis's human form on the ground, and he doesn't know what expression to make.
Geron and Kelda were already curious and started to get started.
Ciri grabbed Lan's arm worriedly: "Do you think Regis is still alive?"
"Definitely alive." Lan comforted, "With the vitality of a high-level vampire, even if he is completely burned into glass. Resurrected, I don't think it's even a serious injury with what I see now."
However, although it did not turn into glass, there were still many places on Regis' body that were obviously carbonized.
Lann has never seen a high-level vampire with his own eyes before, and he doesn't know whether it will take a few years, ten, dozens, or hundreds of years for the man in front of him to recover?
A high-level vampire's power cannot be sealed away just like that. Lann must take him as a follower to recover from his injuries.
Lan still has a good impression of this vampire who was affectionate and kind in the original work and who now also played a role in protecting Ciri during the defense of Brochlon Town.
However, although Lan now has skill points on his body, his experience points are not quite enough. He is not sure how much the vampire in front of him, whom he has not met yet, likes him.
In order to avoid wasting it, Lann planned to build up his experience bar a little deeper first, and that would be enough after the next battle.
Lan was lost in thought: But it seems that high-level vampires can help his companions recover from injuries faster. Does Nanomi know other high-level vampires?
...
After passing Regis and Cohen, there was only one injured person left at the scene.
Wilgefortz nailed to a tree.
Everyone formed a circle and looked at this top warlock with varying degrees of disgust and hatred.
"If we don't stop his bleeding, he will die soon." Jie Long commented expressionlessly.
Kelda said: "I found these things on his body -"
The old demon hunter had already completed the search on the prisoner's body. In addition to the enchanted metal staff, Wigefortz also has a lot of spell-casting materials, small magic props, etc. on his body.
When Alice saw one of the small silver boxes, she exclaimed and took out an almost identical silver box.
"After I recovered from my injuries, I found two sneaky people in the town, a man and a woman. They both infiltrated with the Nilfgaardians, and the woman claimed to be a [psionicist] who could read minds. ], the man is a bounty hunter." Alice paused, "That man is very powerful. He has dealt with Cohen, House, and Levin one against three before. And he seems to have killed three demon hunters. There are three witcher badges."
"...those three badges contain griffins." Alice glanced hesitantly at the three gryphon school witchers present, "This silver box comes from that bounty hunter. They were found on their bodies."
Kelda and Jeron's faces darkened.
"Did you kill them?"
"They are locked up in the painting. I think they are relatively important agents, and I plan to wait for you to come back for questioning." "
Very good." Lan nodded, "Then let's lock them up first."
Lan Well, I have an impression of the two people Alice mentioned.
The psionicist Kenna is a rare mind reader. In the normal development timeline, she will also join the Nilfgaard elite team that captures Ciri, and once held Ciri in her hands. But when she discovered that Gray Owl had the intention of betraying the emperor and attempted to give Ciri to Vilgefortz for experimentation, she felt pity in her heart and chose to release Ciri, and was sent to the Imperial Military Court for this.
Bounty hunter Leo Bonnard is the ultimate swordsman, the ceiling of swordsmanship, and he likes to collect demon hunter medals. In the normal timeline, he captured Ciri for the first time, then trained Ciri as a gladiator and arranged to fight with others. After that, he reached a tripartite agreement with Gray Forest Owl and Vilgefortz to prepare for the handover. After leaving Xili, Kenna disrupted the plan.
There is no reason for Bonnard to continue living. Lann plans to put him in a dungeon and slowly squeeze out the remaining value, and then see if any of the demon hunters under his command want to avenge their companions.
As for this psionicist Kenna, she can try to instigate rebellion. She is somewhat of a talent. Although this kind of magic profession developed under the influence of chaotic energy is not as comprehensive as a warlock, it also has its own advantages.
...
In addition, Lan also began to look at the silver box in his hand. Others may be confused, but Lann knows that this is a magical device that can communicate over long distances.
This is also a technology unique to Widget Fortes. Even decades later, warlocks will still communicate with each other through a magic communication device about the size of a table. It is bulky and expensive to build. Basically, only high-level warlocks have the financial strength to save one for themselves.
And Vilgefortz has now pioneered the creation of small magical communication devices, which has left the warlocks of the entire era behind in terms of practicality and convenience.
I have to admit that this guy still has two skills.
Lan plans to let Mossack study it after the battle to see if he can crack this technology... Oh, Kelda in front of him is already eager to study it.
Lann thought for a moment and handed the box to the old griffin, who had already shown a reserved and longing look.
As for how to deal with Wige Fortz...
"Lan, what are you going to do?"
Lan shook his head and threw the question away: "Ciri, what are you going to do?"
The little girl was stunned.
"The warlock in front of me can be said to be the source of everything. I originally had a plan for him, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to kill him so soon." Lann touched Ciri's head, "Now he has plans for me. It is no longer important to you. But I know that he means a lot to you." "
So I leave the choice to you, Shirley."
The little girl pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "You told me about Nefer that day. Emperor Gad also told me about your future plans for the north and for the warlocks during the incident. Will those plans not be able to continue without Vilgefortz?" "Of course not."
Lan En shook his head, "I have other plans."
Shirley looked at Lan for a while: "But those 'plans that can be used after killing Vilgefortz' are all backup plans, right? Success rate You're not as sure as the one who activated it through Vilgefortz, right?"
Lan didn't answer.
