Chapter 54 We already know the name of Geralt’s horse we saw that day
. Lann made a proposal that Geralt didn’t expect, and he was very confident that it was within the scope of Geralt’s business. In the game, Geralt served as a swordsmanship instructor for a wealthy lady, so he would naturally not refuse such a commission.
Unless he didn't do it for money when he accepted the commission.
Geralt glanced at Lann twice: "Here, or in Cintra?"
"Cintra. I won't stay in Brochlon for too long."
Geralt said decisively: "I won't go to Cintra. Terra."
"I know you won't stay anywhere for long, so I won't hire you for long."
Lann added: "I also heard that Uncle Mossack said that you seemed to be related to There is some conflict between Queen Calanthe and I can promise you that you will not meet her. And don't you first listen to the reward I plan to give you?" Lann said: "The
master who forged your sword is obviously very skilled. Outstanding, but that's not the case with your armor. I can find the best royal craftsman to tailor-make armor for you. No matter what style you want, he can satisfy you." Geralt looked at him
. He looked at the dirty and dusty armor on his body and looked like a low-level mercenary. Hearing this condition, as a demon hunter and a warrior, he hesitated.
Lann added: "And I think your riding skills are also good, but it's a pity that you lack a good horse. Although Black Wind can't give it to you, I can help you get a top-notch war horse, and you can name it yourself. Name. This is something that can only be done in Sintra."
Geralt hesitated: "The money for a good horse alone is more than the reward for hunting a gryphon."
Lann showed a confident and wealthy smile : "The rest is just the cost of private tuition. People who are qualified to teach me must be very expensive. I have confidence in you." .........
Lan
is considered a possessor of money ability.
His father's legacy, the subsidies from the royal family, the queen's rewards, the town's taxes, the city guard's suppression of bandits, etc., just the bonus awarded to the champion of the martial arts competition took him a long time.
The most important thing is that Lan can squander the money without any scruples and exchange it for things that can be used even after Cintra is destroyed.
For now, Lann's choice is to go out and collect intelligence, buy magic-related items everywhere, and buy a lot of weapons and armor.
(——The old butler Enns, who was settling accounts in Cintra late at night, rubbed his head and sighed deeply: Playing with things is a waste of life.)
After that, he continued to plan to squander the money to make friends, including Geralt, the city guard; Construction of Blochlon.
Five days flew by. After these days of recovery, Geralt and Lann's attendants have mostly recovered from their injuries. The scouts who died in previous battles were also given pensions.
The old mayor told the townspeople of Brochlon according to his own version of what happened in Brochlon. The townspeople had mixed emotions about the possible cooperation with the tree spirits in the future, but because of their extremely high prestige, The old mayor of Gao has set himself up as a target, but there are no extreme rebels yet.
Lann's reputation in the town of Brochlon has improved a lot. The people in the area praise the new lord's bravery and kindness, and are full of expectations for the future he promised.
Someone even started to write a ballad about Lann's story of going deep into Brochlon and fighting the gryphon alone in the tavern, but it has not yet reached Lann's ears.
Now, apart from the attendants, Geralt was the only one left in Lann's house. Mossak took Ciri to open the portal back to Cintra the next day, and Queen Calanthe was already gearing up for the attack.
Late at night, after sorting out Brochlon's population and financial situation, Lan began to draw up a development plan for Brochlon Town and calculate what resources he should transport back to support after returning to the royal capital.
Subsequently, he drafted a peace treaty with the tree spirits:
1. The territorial people of Blochlon Town (hereinafter referred to as the territorial people) and the tree spirits must abide by the contents of the peace treaty. The territorial people are not allowed to attack the tree spirits, and the tree spirits are not allowed to attack Lead the people.
2. The tree spirits allow the people to obtain necessary resources for life outside the Brokilon Forest. The specific scope of activities will be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
3. The tree spirits should provide correct guidance to the people who stray into the depths of Brokilon Forest. For those who maliciously penetrate into the Brochlon Forest, the tree spirits are allowed to use necessary means to subdue them and then hand them over to the people for trial. The trial standards will be discussed jointly by both parties.
4. The citizens are obliged to provide communication channels for the dryads to other human forces, and to help the dryads resist the external forces that maliciously invade Brokilon.
5. The tree spirits are not allowed to use transformation magic on the people in their territory. For the population problem of tree spirits, the citizens can provide help as appropriate. The specific form of assistance will be negotiated and agreed upon by both parties later.
(Omitted below)
The above are the basic terms. In addition, Lann also drafted a series of other contents including resource exchange and technology exchange. These specific situations need to be discussed with Aisna before they can be implemented on paper.
While he was thinking about it, Lan heard a "dong dong dong" sound.
This is not a knock on the door.
Lann looked toward the place where the sound came from, which was the window.
After thinking for a moment, Lan had the answer in his mind. He walked over and opened the window, and saw Ellie at the window. The smaller tree spirit curled up just enough to lie on the window edge.
When Lan opened the window, Ellie rolled in and looked around Lan's study.
"I broke in through the window in the middle of the night. It's really hard for you, Ms. Ellie, to 'knock' on the door so politely." "
I don't want to be seen by humans."
Ellie replied expressionlessly, sneaking into the town of Blochlon. Put her in a bad mood.
"So, are you here to negotiate an agreement with me on behalf of Ms. Aisna this time?"
Ellie shook her head: "My sister wants to discuss the relevant details with you in person. Tomorrow night, at the place where the gryphon was hunted before ."
Airlie added: "One more thing, my sister hopes that you can bring no soldiers."
Lann frowned: "I thought that a peace agreement between the two sides like this should be witnessed by the citizens and soldiers of their respective territories. It was carried out without going to a third party to testify because I have enough trust in the dryad family. Is Ms. Aisna really sincere?"
Airlie shook her head and explained: "You misunderstood, Lannis. Special. My sister thinks that the tree spirit clan is still very controversial about the drafting of the peace agreement. I believe the situation is the same on your side. Bringing too many clansmen to the scene may add unexpected troubles. My side There will only be four of us, my sister, Brian, and Dunka, all of whom you have met. You can also bring along the entourage that we both trust, such as Mr. Mossack and Gwen Blade. .
Moreover, in addition to the peace agreement, my sister also has some personal matters that she wants to discuss with you, so this gathering will also be of a personal nature, and the fewer witnesses, the better." ps: An unexpected incident happened just
