Chapter 5 Diary of a Serious Man
Lan En returned to the room, smelling of alcohol and tiredness. The young servant Hardy came forward and handed over more comfortable casual clothes. Lederan had been uncomfortable in the court dress for a whole day.
The old butler on the side excitedly handed over a map, on which a place close to the Sintra border was circled.
"Young master, look, this is 'Blokiron', our new territory!"
Lann stepped forward and took a closer look. The place was not big. After all, there are too many nobles in Cintra, big and small. It is estimated that these are the ones left by someone, but after all, it is their own territory.
"I don't know much about this thing, Enns. What are we going to do next, take our things to run Brochlon?" The
old butler was stunned after hearing this: "If you are willing, young master, but Brochlon Chiron has a town mayor and tax officer assigned by the kingdom. After it becomes our territory, the taxes here will be handed over to us after being collected every quarter. If you are not satisfied with them, you can also remove our replacement..."
"No need to go to such trouble." Lann waved his hand, "That means we can actually stay in the royal capital, right." "That's
natural. You are a palace noble and a royal family. No one can drive you away except the queen. "
Then stay here for now. How are the things I told you before?"
Enns took out a notebook from his arms and reported while reading: "Your attendants have been selected. There are ten people in total. They are all good boys. It is a bit difficult to collect magic props, mainly because of the price."
"Collect as much as you can. Do you have any already bought?"
"Yes, I will get them for you later." The old butler paused. , "Master, I have no intention of interfering with your hobbies, but please remember - playing with things will lead to loss of life."
Lann replied with a smile: "I know."
Then he turned around and threw the dress to Hardy: "Let me My servants will wait for me at the training ground tomorrow morning, and then prepare some bath water. Hardy is enough here. You can rest early." The servants and butler bowed and left, and Lan opened the window to let the
cold wind blow on his head. Be more conscious.
There was a small mechanism box on the desk in the bedroom. Lan opened it and found a seal engraved with a lion's head, several medals, and a thread-bound black book.
I took out the book and opened it. I saw that it was full of square Chinese characters, and there were many sticky notes on each page. If this is a study notebook, then its owner must be an extremely studious person.
The first page of the book suddenly read in Chinese characters:
[1. Save Cintra]
[2. Become stronger]
[3. Develop territory]
[4. Major events]
Lann is a person with an extremely strong desire for planning. When he learned that he had traveled through time, the first thing he did was to get familiar with himself, and then he found this notebook and started making plans.
How to survive, how to become stronger, what crises may there be in the future, and those big events that may become opportunities for you. Everything was written down in this little book.
Writing in Chinese characters, no one in this world can understand it except him.
Lann pinched the label that said "Big Event" on the notebook and turned it to the back. The page inside said: Ciri escaped from marriage and met the protagonist of the original work for the first time.
The next column reads: Nilfgaardian Invasion.
Next column: The destruction of Cintra.
Cardiac arrest.
He couldn't remember the specific time when certain events in the original work happened. Lan could only try to sort out the timeline by sorting the major events in the plot.
However, the timeline of the first two books of the original work is messed up, just a collection of short films...
Now that Ciri has been granted a marriage, this means that Nilfgaard's invasion has taken another step forward.
Lan thought for a while, then returned to the previous section [Rescuing Cintra], and saw a bunch of them listed below:
[1. Join forces vertically and horizontally to find allies. ]
[2. Science and technology enhance Sintra]
[3. System reform Sintra]
[4. Preserve strength and wait for a comeback] Taking
a long breath, Lann crossed out all the first three items. Most of the kings and queens in the original work have cerebral palsy who cannot see the form clearly. If they want to imitate the strategists of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period and tell them the pros and cons of love, it would be better to go directly to the King of Nilfgaard and tell him about "love without aggression".
As for Articles 2 and 3. To make the country strong through science and technology, Lann is not a science and engineering student; as for institutional reform, Lann is not a liberal arts student...
And given the current urgent situation, we want to make Sintra strong enough to be able to sweep the entire north within a few years. Nilfgaard in various countries is as idiotic as talking about helping the African black uncles during the colonial period to counterattack the British.
When Lan first came to this world, he also tried to persuade everyone to warn Nilfgaard, but he was ignored. Everyone still regards this more as the anger of a young man who has just lost his parents due to the war and lost his mind towards the enemy country.
As a result, Lann had almost no influence on Cintra during this precious year. All he could do was familiarize himself with his identity and improve his strength.
At this time, it is impossible to save Cintra from the roots. All we can do is to preserve the fire of Cintra as much as possible.
Hoping that the newly acquired earldom and reputation as a martial arts champion would be of some help to him, Lan dipped his hands in ink and wrote: [
Form your own personal guard, and rescue as many people around you as possible when the country is destroyed. . 】
The following is a list.
[Ciri, Enns, Hardy, Calanthe]
thought for a while and then wrote:
[Develop territory]
[Make friends with demon hunters and warlocks]
Lann thought for a while and thought that there was nothing new to add, so he turned to Turn to the pages of [Becoming Stronger] again.
【Go to the battlefield and level up by killing enemies. ]
[Accept the task and upgrade. ]
[Verify whether magic items can replace the 'magic place' and obtain skill points. ]
[Become a demon hunter and activate all skill columns. 】
These are the thoughts of becoming stronger that Lann wrote down before. At that time, the first one was still too dangerous. The combat power had not even reached the ceiling of ordinary people, and personal power was too small on the battlefield, and it was easy to die suddenly. For the time being, Set aside.
Now you should take on quests as much as possible to upgrade and gain skill points. This also allowed Lann to travel almost all over the capital of Cintra and the surrounding villages in this year, helping others to accept tasks, but in the end he could only barely reach level ten.
Upgrading in reality is still much slower than in the game.
As for the magic place, it is a special building in the original game that allows the protagonist to absorb magic power to temporarily obtain a buff and an additional skill point. I don’t know if there is such a thing in the real world, but when it comes to “absorbing magic power”, I wonder if other things containing magic power can replace it?
Since the system is not completely liberated now, Lann has actually thought of other ways to become stronger, such as becoming a warlock. The legal profession is standard in fantasy worlds, and the legal profession is decent. In most big countries in this world, warlocks are hired to serve as royal advisors and participate in politics, and their status is also high.
Unfortunately, the training of a warlock takes a long time, and a warlock who is less than a hundred years old can even be evaluated as "young".
Lann estimated that if he chose to become a warlock, by the time his power system was formed, the main mission would have been completed.
The greater possibility is that he did not survive until that time. Far water cannot quench near thirst.
Secondly, you can know your bloodline by looking at your last name and attribute board - [Ancient Blood]! He is also a male heir who is theoretically unable to awaken his bloodline abilities!
You must know that the people who are most interested in the ancient blood are warlocks. Go to the warlock's base camp to be an apprentice? It would be considered a pity to catch oneself for breeding. Some ruthless people would even think of catching oneself to draw blood and transfuse blood for other people's whole body. Their lives would be ruined!
The experimental equipment prepared by the warlocks for Ciri in the original book was terrifying enough just by looking at the descriptions in the text, but Lan didn't want to try it himself.
He, on the surface, looks glamorous, is a member of the royal family of a powerful military country, and has inherited a strong bloodline. But these titles are either useless at all, or they will all be shattered within two years. Even if he was lucky enough to survive the war that destroyed his country, the road ahead would be extremely bumpy.
You must use the system to make yourself stronger as soon as possible within a year. Survival is more important than anything else.
Lan was organizing his thoughts over and over again in the dark night light, and he didn't come back to his senses until Hardy knocked on the door to remind him to take a shower.
Time is running out.
