Chapter 6 Asking for a Position
Early the next morning, Hardy knocked on Lan's room with toiletries in hand and found that his young master had already gotten up and dressed neatly.
The windows were closed, making the room a little dark in the early morning. Lann held in his left hand a piece of magic crystal that the butler had brought over yesterday. It was said to be a component used by a warlock for remote communication.
Failed to absorb skill points.
Sighing and putting down the crystal, Lan began to think. Is it because I haven’t become a witcher yet and can’t absorb magic power, or is it because I need magic items to contain stronger magic power, or is my guess wrong from the beginning?
"Master, it's time for you to wash up. You are going to visit Her Majesty the Queen today." Hardy said softly, looking at his master's admiration for the magic objects on the table
. Talk like your grandpa." Lann waved his hand impatiently, looked at Hardy's lowered eyebrows and suppressed laughter, and tapped his head gently with his knuckles.
"By the way, tell your grandfather that while collecting magic items, help me collect information about witchers. If a witcher appears in Cintra or the surrounding area recently, please notify me immediately." "Demon hunter
" Humans?" Hardy was stunned for a moment, "Are they...the mutants created by those warlocks?"
Lan hesitated, wanting to correct Hardy's thoughts. But what the young servant was talking about was exactly what ordinary people in the mainland and even everyone except the demon hunters thought of the demon hunters.
All kinds of rumors make ordinary people respect and fear them, while the warlocks who know the inside story are contemptuous and fearful of them.
Lann sighed: "Yes, try to collect as much information about them as possible. I'm very interested in demon hunters recently." "
Also." Lann hesitated this time, really not sure whether he should do this, "By the way Let me ask about a person called 'Mirror Master'."
"Yes." Hardy didn't know what this name meant, but he just agreed to the master's instructions.
Mirror Master? What a strange name.
Hardy thought for a while and then reminded him of something else. "There is one more thing, Master. The attendants selected for you have arrived. They are waiting for you downstairs. Do you want to see them now?" "Are they here now
? "Lan walked to the window door.
I saw ten young men with different looks and shapes standing in the courtyard. They each stood in the courtyard with restraint, looking at the surrounding environment excitedly from time to time, but trying their best to restrain their excitement.
The general feeling is that he doesn't look very smart.
"Let them all stand first." Lann said, "They passed the test of Enns, but they still have my test." The
knight's squire, or retinue, for the current Lann, is the direct line army in the future. Lann's initial thought was that precious essences are not expensive, and he had no intention of cultivating these attendants according to the methods of this era. Travelers have their own methods.
"Stand still?" Hardy asked doubtfully, obviously not fully understanding what his Earl meant, "Not moving?"
Lann affirmed: "Not moving until I come back."
Hardy hesitated to speak, but still Unable to hold back: "Master, do you want to train them to be guards?"
Lann shook his head: "More than that. I expect more from them."
After washing, Lann came to the royal castle and was led down by the waiter. Go to the drawing room of the castle, where Queen Calanthe is receiving the general of the army.
From time to time, the Queen's laughter and the General's sonorous slogans could be heard from inside the closed door of the drawing room.
The queen who was born in the royal family is dignified and elegant, but she also likes to drive in person all year round and has the boldness and chic of a warrior. This makes her have a particularly strong cohesion in the military.
After a while, the closed door opened, and Lan nodded to the general who came out.
"Good day, General Vesekid."
"Good day, Earl Lannister - I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."
In the drawing room, the queen seemed to be in a good mood, and the attendant on the side was bringing a new wine glass. In front of Lan, fill it up.
"Little Lan En, my little lion, today you finally remembered to see your aunt?" "
What you said made me sad. When will I not come?" Lan En replied with a smile, pointing. The general who just left said, "What's wrong, aunt, the war is not going well?"
"The Nilfgaardians have never been a threat to us." Calanthe said proudly.
Lann sighed in his heart, Calanthe became famous at a young age, and was stubborn and stubborn. Perhaps it was this arrogance that ultimately destroyed her and Cintra.
"I came today with a request." Lann saw the interest in Queen Calanthe's eyes. "I would like to ask you to arrange a position for me in the army... Yes, I want to go to the battlefield."
" Impossible." Calanthe refused, "You are only fifteen years old, and you are not even married yet. I don't want the newly established Lannister family to turn around and be exterminated." The queen stood up and placed a hand on Lannisters
. On En's shoulder, "I know why you want to do this. To avenge your father, you also want to make Lannister famous again. You want to gain your own glory. I can see it from your performance in the tourney." Yes. You are exactly like your father."
"But it's not time yet." The Queen shook her head.
No, no, the reasons why my father is so brave and good at fighting are definitely different from mine.
Lan En wanted to say something else, but the Queen raised her hand to stop her: "But... after all, you are indeed not young anymore, and you should take on some of the responsibilities in your blood. I heard that you have started to choose your own team of attendants? Then you can Let's go to the city defense army to train first, and learn how to train soldiers."
For a moment, a system prompt sounded in Lann's ears:
[Discovery Mission]
[City Defense Iron Guard·Part 1]:
[The Queen rejected you from taking charge of the army request, maybe you can start with the city defense army to prove yourself? Of course, everything starts with the most basic training. Like teaching them how to hold a sword and where to point it.
Accept/Reject]
"Follow your will and you will not be disappointed." Lan En promised sonorously.
Calanthe said with a smile: "I heard that you have been helping people everywhere this year, and you have gained a reputation as a 'Lannister who always pays his promise'. The reputation is a good one, but it is somewhat disgraceful. Now give me You get down to business, and I hope you won't run around all day long in the future." "
I didn't expect that such a trivial reputation would reach your ears." Lann said with a smile.
The goal has been achieved, and there are even unexpected surprises. Lan En was about to resign when his mind suddenly recalled several ideas that came to mind when he was sorting out his notebook last night.
"Aunt." Lan just stood up and sat down halfway, "Actually, I have always been a little confused about this marriage with Verdon. If I remember correctly, my uncle's brother is the king of the Skellig Islands. Can we Why can't we borrow troops from them?"
Yes, Calanthe's husband has a king brother.
