From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 13: And One More Thing

Gemstones have always been the most appeared mana carriers in various Western fantasy worlds, and are often used by various mages and wizards as objects for mana storage or alchemy materials.

This point “The Witcher 3” is not exempt from vulgarity, the gems in the original book can enchant equipment, and all kinds of equipment forging and special potions alchemy require various gems and crystals as materials.

The Warlock’s telecommunication device also requires crystals and gemstones as materials. In order to make a teleportation device far enough, the heroine in the original novel also takes a huge diamond that is the treasure of the sect because it “has unparalleled magic”.

Lane had long guessed that special minerals such as gemstones and crystals would contain magic, even the “source of magic”, and he had also touched most of the jewelry owned by the family and even the royal family, but there was no hint of magic.

Lann estimated that there were any other tricks in the selection of gemstones that he did not know, and this knowledge was probably only known by serious warlocks.

As for this unexpected joy in front of you, is there anything worth hesitating?

Lan grabbed the crystal with one hand, and saw the prompt box in front of him tremble, and an inexplicable energy flowed straight over Lan from the crystal.

At the same time, Lane was pleasantly surprised to see that the gray parts on the panel were also lit up little by little.

Among them is the [French Seal] skill panel that Lane dreamed of!

[Source of mana absorption, skill point +1]

However, before Lane could react, the feeling of energy rushing disappeared fleetingly. As the skill points increased, the mana was completely absorbed by the panels, and the parts of the panels that were briefly lit up dimmed again.

Lan’s hand that had just thought of ordering the Fayin stopped tremblingly.

After taking several deep breaths to calm down, several thoughts collided lightning through Rann’s mind.

What just flowed into his body should be mana, and the skill panel lights up because the body has magic and has the conditions of the magic seal.

And after the glimpse just now, the skills that were opened were only [Fa Yin] class, such as [Alchemy] and [Adrenaline] in [Battle] were not turned on. This should be because the body just now only has the condition of “magic”, while other “poison resistance” and “adrenaline body” do not have it.

In other words, his conjecture has always been correct, as long as he becomes a demon hunter, he can open all the skills on the panel.

Soon, Lane comforted himself in his heart. Soon.

Glancing regretfully at the dimmed panel, Lane once again clicked the skill points he had just gained on [Immobile as a Mountain].

[Immovable]: Damage from attacks when dodging is reduced by 80%. Adrenergic toxin increases: +4%. （4/5）

At this point, Rann was able to dodge most of the attacks. It was only one last skill point away from that unreasonable god-level dodging effect.

“Lord Count! A breathless and fanatical voice pulled Ran out of his musings, and looked up only to see his newly acquired attendant, Sward, standing in front of him with a fanatical expression.

This little blacksmith himself is his own fan brother, and I don’t know how much he has increased his favorability after performing Wushuang on the spot just now.

“All supplies, casualties, and prisoners have been counted, please instruct! ”

Lan was a little amused by this guy’s serious look, and also answered him seriously:

“Fix it in place, and bring the troops back at dawn tomorrow!” ”

It was almost dusk, and it wasn’t far from Sintra, but it was at least half a day’s journey. There is no reason to rush overnight in the woods, not to mention that even if you rush back, it is impossible to open the city gate in the middle of the night.

It happened to rely on the camp of these robbers to camp on the spot, and also saved the soldiers the effort of camping.

Soon the moon was in the treetops, bonfires were lit, and the soldiers were grouped into small groups with baked dry food. Lan was surrounded by his three attendants and several deputy captains, listening to them tell some of the operational knowledge of the city defense army in peacetime.

At a fire on the edge of the camp, several soldiers looked over to Rann’s side and whispered.

“To say that Lord Count is really as good as the legendary lord, he camped outside and ate together like us.” ”

“Which lord? What quality is clean? ”

“It’s Lord Lannister, the lion knight in the poem.” That was Lord Count’s father. I heard that he not only has the courage of a lion, but also has a high sense of ambition and often… Often…… It’s different from ordinary aristocratic lords. ”

“What? The Lion Knight is the father of our Lord Count? ”

The gazes of several other soldiers suddenly swept over, and their eyes seemed to be looking at something stupid.

“It’s okay to go to the Rose Garden to find the girl, and inquire and chat with the team more…”

The soldier who provoked the topic at the beginning grabbed the dry food and patted it on the head of the recruit’s egg, and continued:

“I mean, Lord Earl is of great interest. But even if Lord Count is of high interest and does not care about eating these poor dry food, we can’t help but think about Lord Count, right? ”

“Headman, what do you mean? ”

“Go get some game in the jungle! ”

On the other side, the screams of the seriously injured robbers gradually subsided, and the soldiers in charge of interrogation forcefully wiped two hands on the robber’s corpse, trying to wipe the rich smell of blood on it.

“Lord Count, the interrogation has come out, and one is dead. ”

Rann was eating with his hand, and he felt a slight pain in his breath as he looked at the panel without the slightest experience of rising.

The soldier who was reporting continued with an admiring expression: “Lord Count, what you expected is really not bad, there are still remnants of this bandit group. Just before we arrived, they were preparing to evacuate, and their leader walked a little earlier to find a route to evacuate, just staggering with us. ”

Lan nodded: “Then he will definitely come back, let everyone be on guard after rectification, and don’t let go of anything close to the camp.” ”

After thinking about it, Lane asked again: “Did he say that this leader has any characteristics?” Pass it on to the warriors so that everyone has a number in their hearts. ”

“Yes,” the interrogator nodded, “listen to him, their leader is particularly capable of fighting, and he can usually kill four or five people at a time when he strikes.” ”

The vice captain who was listening immediately laughed: “Four or five people? Are they all refugees without weapons? Who with a sword can’t cut ten? ”

Lane waved his hand to shut up the man and motioned for the interrogator to continue.

“It’s not just that… The robber also said that their leader usually carried two swords, and always carried some bottles and jars that were said to be magic potions. ”

“Magic potion? That was made up by their head to scare the people below, right? What magic potion did the robber get? ”

The vice captain laughed even louder, but he didn’t see Lan’s face gradually change.

“It’s not just that. “They also mentioned that their leader’s eyes were very strange, as if…”

“Is it amber like a cat? Lane asked softly.

“Yes… How do you know, adult? ”

At night, deep in the jungle, a figure in an ambush quietly observed several soldiers who came out to catch wild animals.

His eyes were bright and emitting an amber light, like a leopard ready to prey on its prey.
