The Witcher: Lord of the Empire

Regarding Milva's performance, Ace added: "Once an enemy gets close, her combat prowess plummets."

 

"She defends himself like a wild cat, scratching and biting, but without sharp claws or fangs. According to her, they rarely corner her, and if they do, she usually turns around and runs away."

 

Those are standard jungle hunter tactics. Because the only ones that can get close to them are large beasts like bears and wild boars. Once they get close, there is basically no need to fight.

 

Lann massaged his temple as he told Ace: "Teach him properly then."

 

Ace said hesitantly: "It is complicated, my lord. With her build and strength, it is difficult for me to teach her. She is not like our archers."

 

"She is accurate, but she is still a women, she does not have the strength to draw a heavy bow."

 

"She uses various long-range projectile methods that I don't understand. And my skill in knight fencing would be of no use to her..."

 

"Don't we have an alliance with the dryads now? I think Milva's situation is very similar to theirs. Why not ask them?"

 

Lann had to admit that Ace has very sharp eyesight and a flexible mind. In The Witcher Series, Milva is a legendary gold-type card, who was trained by the dryads.

 

Lann considered the suggestion and planned to take the girl back to Brokilon to ask the dryads later.

 

Just then, a messenger from the palace ran towards them and, seeing Lann, quickly reported: "My lord, Advisor Mousesack is looking for you... He says your friend has arrived."

 

Lann's eyes lit up upon hearing the message. Here come the skill points!

 

Mousesack has his own study and laboratory in a corner of the palace.

 

In the past, the Brotherhood of Sorcerers stationed mages in Cintra to provide magical advice to the kings of Cintra. Naturally, there were also luxurious laboratories that matched their status. After Calanthe came to power, she excluded mages because she admired swords, armor and shields, so the place was abandoned again.

 

It wasn't until Pavetta broke out with powerful magic in public due to the Elder Blood, and Mousesack, who was on the scene at the time, decided to stay and teach Pavetta. This led Cintra to have magic practitioners again.

 

During Mousesack's time as Pavetta's teacher, his wisdom gradually changed Calanthe's attitude toward magicians, offering effective advice. Thus, Mousesack went from being a simple teacher to becoming a royal advisor, obtaining resources that were previously allocated to sorcerers.

 

Of course, King Eist may have played a role in this as well. It is well known that the people of Skellige Islands reject sorcerers and respect druids.

 

Lann walked to Mousesack's door and happened to hear the conversation inside. A woman was laughing, her joyful laugh reminiscent of fire, roses or honey.

 

Lann stopped at the door, waited until there was a slight pause in the conversation between the two, and knocked on the door.

 

“Please come in.” Mousesack’s voice sounded.

 

Lann pushed the door open and saw two people in the laboratory. In addition to Mousesack, there is also a sorceress whom Lann has never seen before but looks strangely familiar.

 

She has a rare and eye-catching red chestnut fluffy hair, cornflower-like light blue eyes, and a beauty mark under her mouth. The appearance of sorceresses was always delicate and beautiful, and this woman was no different, but she seemed to have something more.

 

“Lann, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Triss Merigold, the royal advisor to Temeria.”

 

Mousesack said, turning to introduce Triss. "This is Lann, Lann Lannister. Cintra's pride and also mine."

 

Triss covered her mouth and chuckled. "I am just one of Temeria's royal advisors. Keira and Fercart are much better than me. And Mousesack, you are more powerful than us combined."

 

Triss looked curiously at the young man in front of her. Being a royal advisor, she had seen countless young nobles, but this individual would still qualify as one of the most outstanding and attractive.

 

When she first heard Mousesack talk about a young noble looking to buy magical accessories, she was curious. She imagined he would be some kind of weak nobleman addicted to books, she never expected to meet a knight.

 

While Triss was looking at Lann, the young lion was also looking at the sorceress opposite.

 

Triss Merigold from Maribor. In the future she would be called the Fourteenth of the Hill by her contemporaries because she was mistakenly thought to have been killed during the Battle of Sodden Hill, she went down in history as Merigold the Fearless. She is one of the most influential and talented sorceresses and a mandatory female character to get a Sexcard from in The Witcher Game.

 

She is an indispensable role in the protagonist group. In the future, she will teach Ciri various topics, including the Elder Speech, magic, and even how to put on makeup, plus she will save Geralt from many crises multiple times. She has a gentle and elegant personality and is also cheerful and lively. She has many friends among mages, druids, humans, and even lonely witchers. She is a sorceress powerful enough to go down in history.

 

She is also a sorceress with good leadership skills. After the dissolution of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, she will be invited to become one of the founders of the Lodge of Sorceresses. After the demise of the Lodge of Sorceresses, many sorceresses elected her their leader during the witch hunt in Novigrad, leading them to flee to a new neutral country.

 

And most importantly, she has very good CGs in the game, which are worth coming back and savoring again and again.

 

At this time, Lann put on a smile that was reserved, humble, and as warm as the morning sun. He had practiced in front of the mirror. This template smile best showed the sense of closeness without losing etiquette.

 

“Miss Merigold is too modest. Being the royal advisor of Temeria speaks volumes.”

 

Triss chuckled and responded: "Oh, please, don't worry about etiquette so much, you can just call me Triss. Mousesack has told me a lot about you. He says you are the most extraordinary gentleman he has ever met."

 

Lann felt embarrassed and said: "Maybe because Uncle Mousesack watched me grow up and I'm his student, his evaluation of me is unreasonably high."

 

"You are too modest too, Sir Lannister."

 

"Please call me Lann."

 

Mousesack coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the two people who were chatting with each other for the first time.

 

“Lann, didn’t you tell me before that you wanted to collect some magic items? Triss happened to have a batch that she wanted to sell, so I contacted her.”

 

“Sorry, we almost forgot about business.” Triss smiled sheepishly and led Lann to a table in the room.

 

On the table lay a medallion, a statue, a bird skull made of glass and a shiny pearl.
