Chapter 13
Another one
Gemstones have always been the carrier of magic power with the highest frequency in various Western fantasy worlds. They are often used by various wizards and wizards as magic power storage objects or alchemy materials.
"The Witcher 3" is not exempt from this. The gems in the original book can enchant equipment. The forging of various equipment and the alchemy of special potions require various gems and crystals as materials.
The warlock's long-distance communication device also requires crystals and gems as materials. In order to make a communication device that is far enough away, the heroine in the original novel also took a huge diamond that was the treasure of the sect because it "has unparalleled
magic".
Lann had long guessed that special minerals such as gems and crystals would contain magic power, or even be the "source of magic power." He had also touched most of the jewelry owned by his family and even the royal family, but there was no hint of magic power.
Lann probably had some tricks on gem selection that he didn't know, and this knowledge was probably only known to serious warlocks.
As for this unexpected surprise in front of you, is there anything worth hesitating about?
Lan En grabbed the crystal with one hand and saw the prompt box in front of him shaking. An indescribable energy flowed directly from the crystal past Lan En.
At the same time, Lan En was pleasantly surprised to see that the dark parts on the panel also lit up little by little, as if they had suddenly dried up.
Among them is the [Sign] skill panel that Lan En has always dreamed of!
[Absorb the source of magic power, skill point +1]
"Not only that... the bandit also said that their leader is used to carrying two swords on his back, and he always carries some bottles and jars of magic potions on his body."
In other words, my suspicion all along was correct. As long as I became a demon hunter, I could activate all the skills on the panel.
Soon the moon rose above the treetops, a bonfire was lit, and the soldiers were divided into groups to get roasted dry food. Lan was surrounded by his three attendants and several deputy captains, listening to them talk about some of the usual operational knowledge of the city defense army.
The soldier who started the conversation picked up the rations and slapped the recruit on the forehead, then continued:
[Mountain-like]: The damage caused by attacks while dodging is reduced by 80%. Adrenaline poison is increased by: +4%. (4/5)
Several other soldiers' eyes suddenly turned over, as if they were looking at something stupid.
Lan was amused by the young man's serious look and wanted to laugh a little, so he answered him seriously:
"Repair in place and bring the troops back tomorrow morning!"
At this point, Lann can already dodge most of the attacks. He is only one skill point away from the unreasonable god-level dodge effect.
This little blacksmith is his fanboy. He just performed an unparalleled performance on the spot, and I don't know how much his favorability level increased.
"If you want to say that the Earl is really as noble as the legendary lord, he just camped outside and ate together like us."
Beside a fire at the edge of the camp, several soldiers looked towards Lan from a distance and whispered.
"Yes." The interrogator nodded. "I heard from him that their leader is very good at fighting. He can usually kill four or five people at a time."
Soon, Lan comforted himself in his heart. Soon.
The soldier who was reporting the report continued with an expression of admiration: "As you expected, Lord Count, there are still remnants of this bandit group. Just before we arrived, they were preparing to evacuate, and their leader left early in order to find an evacuation route.
After a while, he happened to miss us."
Lan En's hand that was just thinking about some magic seals stopped trembling.
After just a glimpse, the only skills that are enabled are [Sigils], such as [Alchemy] and [Adrenaline] in [Combat] are not enabled. This should be because the body just has "magical power".
"This condition is not met by other "poison resistance" and "adrenaline body".
Looking regretfully at the dimmed panel again, Lan clicked the skill point he had just obtained on [Mountain-Free] again.
"Magic potion? That was made up by their leader to scare the people below, right? Where did the robbers get the magic potion?"
"That's Lord Lannister, the lion knight in the poem. That person is the earl's father. I heard that he is not only as brave as a lion, but also has noble aspirations. He often... often... behaves like an ordinary nobleman.
no the same."
"That's not all." The interrogator said, "They also mentioned that their leader's eyes were very strange, as if..."
"Which sir? What kind of noble qualities?"
Lan waved his hand to silence the man and signaled the interrogator to continue.
After taking several deep breaths to calm down, Lann's mind suddenly collided with several ideas.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"If you have nothing to do, don't go to Rose Garden to find a girl. Instead, ask around and chat with everyone in the team..."
“Go hunt some game in the jungle!”
"What? The Lion Knight is the father of our Lord Earl?"
However, before Lann could react, the feeling of surge of energy disappeared in an instant. As the skill points increased, the magic power was completely absorbed by the panel, and those parts of the panel that were briefly lit became dim again.
Go down.
"All supplies, casualties, and prisoners have been accounted for. Please give your instructions!"
Lan's hand paused while he was eating, and he felt a slight pain in breathing when he saw that there was no slight increase in the panel.
"Your Majesty, the interrogation has come out, and one person is dead."
After thinking for a while, Lan asked again: "Did he say what characteristics this leader has? Pass it on to the soldiers so that everyone can have an idea."
It was almost dusk at this time. It was not far from Sintra, but it would take at least half a day's journey. There was no reason to rush all night in the woods, not to mention that even if we rushed back, we would not be able to open the city gate in the middle of the night.
It happened to rely on the camp of these bandits to be stationed on the spot, which also saved the soldiers the effort of setting up camp.
The deputy captain who was listening immediately laughed: "Four or five people? Are they all refugees without weapons? Who can't kill ten with a sword?"
The vice-captain laughed even louder, but did not see Lann's expression gradually change.
"Your Majesty the Earl!" A powerful and fanatical voice pulled Lan out of his thoughts. When he raised his head, he saw his new attendant Sward standing in front of him with a fanatical look on his face.
On the other side, the screams of the seriously injured robber gradually subsided. The soldier in charge of the interrogation wiped his hands on the robber's body, trying to wipe away the strong smell of blood.
What just flowed into his body must be magic power, and the skill panel lighting up should be because his body has magic power and has the conditions for the seal.
Lann nodded: "Then he will definitely come back. After everyone has tidied up, be on guard and don't let go of anything approaching the camp."
"I mean, the Earl has noble aspirations. But even if the Earl has noble aspirations and doesn't care about eating these poor people's food, we have to think about the Earl, don't you think?"
"Is it cat-like amber?" Lan asked softly.
"Yes...how do you know, sir?"
At night, deep in the jungle, a figure lurking in the bushes quietly observed several soldiers who came out to capture wild animals.
His eyes were bright and amber, like a leopard preparing to hunt its prey.
