The light spot goes out.
Demon hunters, warlocks, druids, high-level vampires, night demons, and more are revealed.
With a "boom", the heavy door panel behind them made a loud noise. The warlocks fought in the narrow banquet hall. The Wild Hunt had not even officially exchanged fire with them.
The castle will soon be unable to hold its own.
Several talented people in the team listened boldly to the noise behind the door panel and were eager to try.
"Don't rush. Everything is going smoothly." Lann called everyone's attention back, "We will continue to act according to the plan." "
My attendants led the troops to evacuate the magic apprentices at Aretussa College, where We need an escort team as insurance to help." Lann nodded at a few people from the wolf faction, including Eskar, Lambert, and Vesemir, "Please." "Many
warlocks are scattered around, inside Some need to be rescued and absorbed into Cintra; others may be hostile to us and need to be killed. Triss and Yennefer have compiled a list, and they will lead the team to deal with it."
The two sorceresses nodded. Because they needed combat power the most, they also took away some of the first-tier demon hunters, including Geron and Kelda.
"Only Geralt is watching over the representatives from various countries. I'm worried that he can't do it alone. Regis, you are fast, help share the pressure with him." Lann ordered the high-level vampire again, "They are very busy." Important. Later, I need to be able to preserve and gather the power of the North to the greatest extent, so I need to accumulate reputation." "
But the battlefield here is also very important, and I need your strength. Please bring Geralt back as soon as it is over."
Regis nodded, stretched out his hands and turned into a huge bat, disappearing into the night sky.
"As for the remaining people, our battlefield will be here in a while." Lann pointed to the door behind him.
With a "boom", huge cracks appeared on the wall, and the badges on the demon hunters' chests were beating so fast that they could no longer hold their presses.
"But before that, we have to let them fight for a while. We will harvest after all three are defeated." Lann ordered, "Let's go!" Lann took the lead, and there were roars and screams coming from behind, faintly
. An unwilling roar could be heard.
"Blood of the Ancients!"
But the roar was quickly silenced, and Lann guessed that it was Vilgefortz who did it.
——The
whole castle is shaking. It is estimated that before long, this building that has stood for hundreds of years will be reduced to pieces under the attack of the warlock and the wild hunt.
But until then, there's a lot of value inside.
"Our target is the magic academy's treasure trove, teaching equipment reserves, and the laboratories of all senior warlocks!" Lann shouted loudly, "Magic props, magic gems, and even magic materials, as long as you identify them as valuable Take everything away!"
The demon hunters broke into pieces and scattered into the castle in groups of two or three.
Servants and guards were all running outside. Only the demon hunters dared to search the building unscrupulously at this time.
Lann's eyes were red. It had been a long time since he had replenished his skill points by absorbing the [Source of Magic].
The treasures taken from the Mirror Master have not been spent to this day, and Cintra is still rich. However, the circulation rate of magic materials in the market itself is very low. Many of what Lan needs are priceless and rare items that cannot be bought even with money.
Nowadays, an important factor that restricts the cultivation of witchers in Cintra is the scarcity of materials. The stagnation of the progress of the second mutation of witchers is also due to the lack of raw materials.
No, not only the materials, but even all the magic gems and other precious metals Lann himself was not willing to absorb. He smashed them all and gave them to Mossak to study alchemical runes or use them to strengthen equipment. Not a single piece was left.
But now, a warlock's warehouse that has been passed down for hundreds of years is right in front of them, but their master is unable to care about this place as they are being beaten to death above their heads.
This makes the demon hunters jealous!
[Alder's Seal]!
The corridor in the basement was violently blasted open, and five demon hunters poured in. Every time they passed a room, the team would be reduced by one person, and the room where the demon hunter was "devoured" would be followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. sound.
What followed was either cheers or annoyance.
"Lan, put this package away, it's all good stuff!" Kolgrim ran out happily, threw a messy box to Lan ten steps away, and then looked for it again without looking back. I found a laboratory and dived in headfirst.
Lann's face was even more excited than Kolgrim's. With quick eyes and hands, he put the huge suitcase into the [Inventory] with a quick volley. Looking at the series of entries that came out of the system, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
After searching a place, change the venue immediately.
The gravel and tiles above the head flew down, and crisp explosions sounded from time to time. Lann didn't even know how many floors above the head had been shattered.
"Quick, quick, quick!" He couldn't control his volume.
Suddenly, his steps suddenly stopped, and a string of shadowy figures appeared in front of him. He didn't expect that in this situation, there would be someone desperate for his life in this castle.
Could it be that he has the same idea as those in his profession?
After seeing them clearly, Lan couldn't help but sneer.
...
"Duke Lannister? Do you know what happened? Where is Philippa?"
Dijkstra was wearing a messy armor, followed by a dozen fully armed Redanian guards.
There was obvious flinch on his face when he saw Lan, but he still mustered up his courage.
"Dijkstra?" Lann waved his hand to signal the demon hunters behind him not to do anything. "You have a lot of questions, and we do have a lot to say. But before that..." "You haven't learned to talk to me yet
. Correct posture!"
Lann simultaneously pulled out the weapons on his back, a golden sword in one hand and a red scimitar in the other, and crashed into Dijkstra's formation like lightning. He nimbly avoided the huge spy leader, waving his two thick arms in the air in a vain attempt to grapple.
The two swords flashed like dancing arcs of light.
The tracheas of the two Redanian soldiers were split open on the spot, and the huge chopping force was enough to break their necks with the remaining strength; a Redanian soldier tried to parry, but unfortunately he was standing directly in front of Lan. , so the sword, armor, and chest neatly turned into two halves.
Several other Redanian guards were only hit by the impact on their shoulders, but they flew backwards and hit the wall hard. Their helmets cracked on the spot. Although the heads protected underneath were barely okay, their necks had been broken.
Chopping, slashing, stabbing, smashing, and even bumping, kicking, and knocking, Lann didn't use any skills, but just relied on his strong physical fitness to wreak havoc. This made the scene more bloody than usual, but he finally enjoyed it.
The corridor was in a mess in an instant, with broken armor and blood spread like butterfly wings, beautiful but shocking.
"Just think of it as a warm-up." Lann breathed a sigh of relief. His mood is beautiful.
He sheathed the weapon in his right hand and watched as Dijkstra grabbed the opponent's collar in a daze, and lifted up the fat man who was twice his width with one hand.
"Drug me? I know what you have in mind. You want to prioritize things, right?" Lann narrowed his eyes. "It's a good idea, but it's a pity that you didn't understand your position!" He exerted force with his right arm
. , Dikstra's huge body was driven straight down like a wooden stake without any resistance. He first tried to use his feet to support his body, but failed. Then he tried to use his legs, knees, and hips, and still failed.
With a "click", Dijkstra's persistent plan to remain standing failed completely, and he could only squirm and struggle on the ground after letting out a short scream.
"After tonight, Redania will forever lose the ability to scream in front of Cintra." Lann lowered his head, "But after all, you are someone who can build the largest spy agency in the North from scratch. You are considered a talent. . Although you are still being manipulated by Philippa, I still want to give you a chance-" Lan played with Dijkstra's broken leg: "Escape, before this castle collapses completely. Go out and use all your strength to prove that you still have some value. And if you need some strength, then I can help you..." Lann showed a bad smile and said softly: "
You Philippa, who is concerned, has not told you all her plans. Just now, I learned that she not only plans to control the Brotherhood of Warlocks, but also wants to de facto rule Redania - the assassin who assassinated Vizmir II I guess it has been successful now."
He patted Dijkstra's shoulder sympathetically: "What a pity..."
Looking at the strong man with an incredible expression, Lan strode over him.
Fortunately, right at the end of the corridor behind Dijkstra is Lan's final destination.
...
Triss specially gave Lan a map of the castle in advance, which marked the laboratories of various senior warlocks and the academy's magic material warehouse.
At this moment, what Lann was facing was the warehouse located at the deepest part of the castle.
He didn't even dare to use his seal to blast open the wall. Instead, he relatively gently used his long sword to smash the door panel, strode into the door frame, and was immediately dazzled.
An underground warehouse comparable to the size of the banquet hall when he arrived appeared in front of him.
At the far end are rows of herbal storage shelves, which contain herbs stored in various ways such as air-drying, oil sealing, and air-locking. Lan En saw rare mandrakes, winter cherry, etc. at a glance.
Closer are various instruments, precious metals, etc. that even Lan En's current knowledge base can distinguish. There are no finished magic props, and those things won't appear in the warehouse, which is a pity.
But the shining things on the table in front of him are enough to make up for Lan's regrets. These are also the things Lan hopes to see appear here the most.
Red, blue, green and purple gemstones! Magic crystal! Magic diamond! There are also various other gems that sparkle with magical auras!
He reached out and picked up a fist-sized flawless emerald and let out a sigh of relief.
[Discover the source of magic power]
Without a trace of hesitation, the heat flows from the gem in his hand into his body under the guidance of the system.
[Skill Point +1]

Continue.
Lann picked up another flawless ruby.
[Skill Point +1]
[Skill Point +1]
Next.
Lann looked at it and this time grabbed a handful of broken diamonds.
[Skill Point +1]
[Skill Point +1]
[Skill Point +1]
[Skill Point +1]
One after another, precious gems have lost their magic aura. They are still flawless and priceless, but in terms of occultism It has completely lost its meaning.
With a wave of his hand, Lan sucked all the remaining magic gems into his inventory as if sweeping goods, then shuttled through the warehouse and moved all the remaining magic materials together with the storage shelves.
After doing this, he wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
He only absorbed eight skill points, and planned to make detailed solutions to the rest when he went back.
Whether it is used for research, to improve the skill panel, or to contract more followers requires long-term consideration.
But there are two skills that he has been suppressing for a long time but has not obtained. We are about to face the big battle in a moment, and now we can give ourselves the final boost.
Click on the system panel, select [Skills], and go directly to [Second Mutation]!
[Addiction]: Alchemy classification skills. Demon hunters who have learned this skill can gain strength from the poison. Each point of poison brought by the potion can increase the physical strength and the strength of the seal.
This skill requires three skill points and is the core skill of the drug-taking style. Lann's original poison resistance value was in the hundreds with the support of system skills. Now that he has added the talent of [Plague Body], it is even more difficult to count.
[Magic Guide]: Seal and combat dual-category composite skills. Demon hunters who have learned this skill can create a resonance cycle between the body and the magic power in the body. The strength of the body will feed back the magic power and increase the strength of the seal.
This is the ultimate skill of the witcher who plays the Seal style and requires five skill points.
The moment the icons representing these two skills in the system lit up, the other demon hunters who followed Lan suddenly felt a mountain pressing towards them.
That's momentum.
The sense of oppression in this momentum not only exceeded that of Jeron, but everyone even felt that even the top creatures such as high-level vampires, giants, and dragons could no longer compete with the man in front of them.
No more tactics or strategies are needed. With the sword and fingertip seals in his hands, he can crush all enemies with dignity from now on.
——With
a "boom", everyone on Xianide Island looked in the direction of the sound.
The roof of the Xianide Palace exploded like fireworks. Before the flames could be ejected from the sky, the next second they were frozen by the unseasonable frost that fell from the sky.
"It's really hard to imagine what kind of enemy the Duke has encountered." Ace's eyes widened and he muttered to himself.
House patted him hard on the shoulder and brought his consciousness back.
He pointed at the hurried female apprentices behind him, many of whom looked at Ace and smiled happily.
If the armor of the Cintra guards hadn't been too cold and the swords too terrifying, they might have come up and pulled Ace's arm and chattered.
"Look, are all the apprentices from the academy here?"
Ace nodded confidently: "Don't worry, they are all here."
"Everyone! As you can see! Xannide Island is in a huge crisis - but it doesn't matter. ! You are surrounded by the powerful warriors of Cintra, who are my most reliable friends. They will take us to a safe place..."
House held the lion's head silver sword on his waist.
"Very good, it's over here." His amber vertical pupils flashed, "Now it's time to help the Duke." (End of Chapter)
