The Witcher: Lord of the Empire

"This is natural." Lann nodded. "This is enough. I will discuss it in detail with Ms. Eithné later."

 

The dryads seem to be familiar with Mousesack. The relationship between the nature-loving druids and the dryads has always been good. This was probably the reason why Cintra, who had Mousesack as an advisor, did not have deep conflicts with the dryads.

 

The dryads had a brief exchange with the druid. Together, they quickly and simply dealt with Levin's injury, and disappeared deep into the woods with the seriously injured young man.

 

Lann cut off the vines around Ciri's waist and took the girl into his arms. The little girl hugged her knight and then ran into the druid's arms.

 

"Uncle Mousesack." Ciri called him with a crystal clear voice, her emerald green eyes blinking.

 

"For plague and cholera's sake, oh my God. Ciri, I'm glad you're safe."

 

Mousesack first touched Ciri's hair with lingering fear, and then hit her head hard: "You've caused a lot of trouble this time. You can't imagine how the Queen is right now, I can't protect you."

 

The old Druid blocked Ciri's fantasy with one sentence. After saying that, he no longer cared about the little girl with a sad face, turned around and hugged Lann gently.

 

"Well done, my little lion." He looked Lann up and down. "I can see that you have spent a lot of effort. Let's go back and rest together first, and then you have to tell me what happened."

 

Lann nodded: "Let's go to my town of Brokilon first."

 

"Take my griffons, they are full of good things."

 

"Of course, of course."

 

...

 

Lann is now staying in the lord's mansion in Brokilon Town, completely recovered.

 

The experience of the monster hunter mission is really rich, one can be compared with two or three ordinary side missions. As expected, the game board of the witcher is still the most suitable for the mission of the monster hunter.

 

I just don’t know if there will be such benefits after the character level increases. If it were in the game, Lann remembered that if the character level exceeds the mission level by more than 5 levels, the experience gained will be greatly reduced, with the lowest being only single digits.

 

This can only be slowly tested after the character level is high. Now the system does not display the task level or anything, only the character level.

 

There is nothing to say about the ability points obtained by upgrading. As usual, the points are on [Precise Blows].

 

[Precise Blows]: Increases chance of landing a fast attack critical hit by 8% and fast attack critical hit damage by 60%. Adrenaline Point gain: +4% (4/5)

 

With another point, he would fulfill the requirement to unlock the third tier of ability [Whirl], which would improve the quality of his abilities in combat!

 

While Lann was mentally excited about his achievements, there was a sudden knock on the door.

 

"Forward".

 

House pushed open the door and walked in.

 

"My Lord, the count of the Verden soldiers and the Chamber of Commerce personnel has been completed. Everyone has discovered something and feels it necessary to report it to you."

 

"What's up?"

 

House turned behind him and shook his head toward the room. Immediately, two soldiers came over carrying a box.

 

The box was filled with a large amount of cotton cloth and straw as a buffer. Inside was an unknown creature's egg, which was larger than the ostrich egg Lann had seen in his previous life. It had brown and gray spots on it.

 

Lann took it out and looked at it with interest for a while.

 

House said: "Lord Mousesack saw it and said it's a griffin's egg."

 

Everything makes sense. Why are the two griffins still fighting to the death despite the rain of arrows from a scout team and several dryads? This is not a noble griffon challenging a powerful enemy at all, it is just a purely biological meaning.

 

And the accidental collision of these people can be regarded as removing a harm to the town of Brokilon. From now on, the townspeople and the caravans passing nearby will not have to worry about being hunted by monsters.

 

Lann also obtained a lot of trophies, and the materials on the two griffins were still very precious. For example, the venom in the venom glands of the Archgriffin is the best material for quenching swords.

 

"Didn't Uncle Mousesack take this egg away?"

 

In the common mentality of the people of the continent, druids were protectors of the environment who mastered natural energy. They were wise, they even knew how to tame winged dragons.

 

Although they were stereotypes, druids actually had beast taming skills and knew how to handle strange creature materials. Lann thought that Mousesack would probably be interested in this hybrid griffin and Archgriffin egg.

 

"Lord Mousesack said that he wants you to take a look first and then decide on the distribution of the spoils."

 

Lann raised his eyebrows after hearing this. No one can say anything if Mousesack takes this thing. His actual status in Cintra is much higher than that of Lann, not to mention that no one here except the druid will want this egg.

 

But he still showed full respect for Lann, the lord of Brokilon Town, in terms of formalities and procedures. It was a sign of Mousesack's special affection for him.

 

Lann waved his hand and asked the soldiers to carry the box to Mousesack's room. Turning around, he saw House stay, looking like he had something else to say.

 

"My Lord, the mayor has come to visit you as per your instructions."

 

...

 

In the living room.

 

Luka Bloth sat on the guest's chair, his hand on crutches couldn't help trembling, and his heart was in turmoil. Because he did not see his grandson among the soldiers returning today.

 

The old mayor, who had just lost his son to a gryphon a few days ago, really couldn't bear to lose his grandson again. In the few hours he waited for the count, he could say that every second seemed like a year.

 

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Luka stood up hurriedly.

 

Lann stretched out his hand and motioned for the old man to sit down. He knew what the other party cared about most and said hurriedly: "Mr. Bloth, Levin is still alive."

 

The tense body of the old man in front of him suddenly relaxed, and the heavy stone hanging in his heart fell. The look of depression dissipating on his face was visible to the naked eye.

 

"As long as everything is fine... Then since Levin is fine, the Earl must still have a mission for him?"

 

Lann considered it and said: "In a sense, it is indeed a new mission. He is now half a diplomat."

 

Lann instructed House to bring two cups of tea, and then told Luka about the peace agreement between him and the dryads, the consequences of Levin's subsequent fight against the griffin, being seriously injured and having to be taken to Duén Canell for further treatment.

 

"Today I called you here to inform you about this. Levin fought bravely and was a warrior recognized by even the dryads. So you don't have to worry about Levin's safety."

 

"In addition, I need to know: What is the general attitude of the citizens of Brokilon Town towards the dryads? This is related to my subsequent negotiations with Queen Dryad."
