From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 138: Shani on the Cow Castle!

The morning fog had not yet cleared, and Lane looked out over the reef and the silhouettes of the many small islands not far away.

In the lazy delta current, the huge carrier under his feet moved forward with a uniform and determined momentum.

“Hahaha, Lan, this ship is good.”

Dzortan laughed and clinked glasses with Lan.

After such a long time together, Zoltan has become quite familiar with Rann. The dwarves were not a stodgy race that adhered to class etiquette, they drank too much and even dared to wrestle with the prince, and then beat each other to a blue nose and a swollen face.

Because Zortan did business in human society, he learned a lot of rules in the countryside, but under Lan’s deliberate guidance, he gradually let go. His favorite thing to do during this time was to drink with Rann while teaching the young count to sing songs with color.

“Helped a lot, Zoltan.”

Lane drained the drink from his glass, “It’s a real surprise to be able to rush so comfortably.” My soldiers can also breathe a sigh of relief and rest, and they all have to thank you and your friends. ”

Zortan laughed heartily, and after drinking, he saw that Rann seemed to have no intention of refilling, so he turned to his dwarf brothers to continue drinking.

Lan looked at House and Levine, who had been beside him, and waved his hand: “You guys also go and rest, we are on the ship now, there will be no enemies who suddenly appear.” ”

House said positively: “If you are on the water… Maybe there will be water ghosts. ”

Lan sighed: “Isn’t the water ghost’s words my specialty, and can you still fight the water ghost in the river wearing this plate armor?” ”

Looking at the inseparable attendant, Lane said: “House, you are too tight, it’s time to relax yourself, one fifth of the people on this ship are our soldiers, we are” Danger, understand? ”

He pointed to the dwarves who were drinking and playing cards with the other merchants on the ship: “Look at them, I remember you seem to like Quint too?” Join them, I allowed it. If you don’t want to, take it as if I’m ordering you to go and play for a while. ”

After that, Lane strode to the side of the ship, blowing the sea breeze while looking at the scenery in the distance.

Levin touched House: “Hear that?” This is Lord Count’s order, hurry up and pull out your Quent deck, I have long heard that you have a lot of precious cards, let me see it.” ”

House blushed: “This card is not mine, it was entrusted to me by a sacrificed comrade before he died, I can’t let it be on the table…”

As he said this, his hand took out a card from his arms as if he did not obey the order, and Mirva on the side also came forward curiously to check after hearing the movement, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

On the card, a blond young knight, wearing a knight’s armor with a lion emblem, rides a wind-like black horse through the dense forest.

【Lion Knight Lane】

House shook the card in front of Levine and Mirva’s eyes, and immediately tucked it into his arms as a treasure, instructing, “Don’t let Lord Count know that I have this card… It feels weird. ”

And the protagonist of this commemorative card is at the bow of the ship at the moment, reading the letter sent from Kelmohan through the sea breeze: “… I slept in a small room called “dormitory,” which was as small as a maid’s house, but Geralt said that even the Wolf Mentor slept in the same place as I did. I asked him if Yenneffer slept in the same room, and he stopped talking. ”

Lane smiled, worthy of the white wolf. He flipped through it and looked at the next letter.

“I was practicing sword on a long beam today, and I fell from it several times, breaking my shoulders, arms and thighs. I thought it would be hard to walk on it, but Cohen could easily dance a pair of swords on it, and Cohen, who was also a griffin, said that he would leave Kelmohan after winter, and I was trying to convince him to stay. But the effect is not much, it may still depend on you to win him over, you need to come and see me quickly. ”

Lane raised an eyebrow, Ciri had already begun to consciously woo the demon hunters, not only the wolf faction, but even the griffins. The little girl doesn’t need to use any social skills at all, just showing her innocence and kindness is enough to strengthen friendship with demon hunters.

“Yennefer read my letter to you, and she told me not to write too much about training and daily life, but to tell me more about my thoughts about you. Ha, she also taught me, I secretly read the letter she wrote to Geralt before, she called Geralt a dear friend, and I am deeply honored to be the second person you ask for help.”

“I’m even more flattered to be on your list so high, these two are really awkward…”

After that, Ciri didn’t send a letter, I don’t know if it was because she didn’t have time to write it, or if she wrote it but was peeked at by a demon hunter or sorceress, which deprived her of the right to continue sending letters.

He carefully folded the letters and put them into his arms.

And Lann didn’t notice that while he was intently reading the letter, there was another line of sight on the ship that kept looking at him.

A young girl with short chestnut hair had been observing Lane for a while. Because until this time, he did not have those guards who refused to be thousands of miles away.

She wanted to come up and talk, but she didn’t want to express her emotions too directly, and after racking her brain, she finally came up with a topic that might be suitable: “Excuse me… Are you Mr. Lannister? Please don’t stand by the side of the boat, because it is said that there have been some big man-eating bugs here recently…”

The girl’s voice interrupted Rann’s thoughts, and he looked back at the person who made the voice, his eyes focused, and he seemed to see a familiar person.

But he wasn’t sure if the other party was the person he remembered, because the other party’s appearance was much younger than in his memory.

In front of him was a girl with chestnut red hair—a girl Rann had always met lately—who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old in a student outfit.

She looked very careful, as if coming to talk to Rann seemed to have taken all her courage.

“That’s right, I’m Lannister.”

Lane knocked on the lion coat of arms on his chest and said with a smile, “I wonder what the lady who is talking to me should be called?” ”

“I’m not a lady… My name is Shani. Hello, Mr. Lannister. ”

Because of nervousness, the girl named Xia Ni was a little flustered, and for a while she poured beans and said a lot of things that she shouldn’t say when she introduced herself.

“I’m a medical student, I just got admitted to the cow castle this year and was preparing to study, so I got on this boat and Lane smiled, sure enough, it was her.”

The girl in front of her is called Xia Ni, a future medical master, a true model of independent women.

A medical student, she studied alone in Cowburg, and after graduation she will travel between wards and battlefields, and spend years in hospitals on the front lines of the war to save the wounded. In the future, she will become the dean of the Niubao Medical School, which is highly respected and will be written into textbooks after her death.

She would meet Geralt when she was seventeen or eighteen. Of course, nothing new, she would change from a girl to a woman at that time. But she was not like other women who were entangled with Geralt, she only saw this as a cherished friendship; Even if she meets Geralt many times later, Shani will finally choose to separate for her life-saving ideals. Her decision turned out to be the right one.

So it’s hard to say whether Geralt slept with her or if she slept with Geralt.

However, at this time, the girl in front of her is still a female student who has not yet studied in Niubao, not a female doctor who will hang the pot in the future.

Simply put, this is another gold card of the future. And from a strategic point of view, it is much more important than Mirva.

“In that case, you have to thank Oxburg for giving you the opportunity to learn, and I want to thank Oxburg for allowing us to meet here.”

Lane smiled, “But are you alone? This world is not friendly to single ladies. ”

“It’s okay, I have friends in Cowburg. He was a poet named Dandrian, who was famous. He helped me write letters of recommendation and gave me the opportunity to enter the Bull Castle. ”

Shani was a little flattered by Rann’s concern.

However, the girl quickly adjusted her mentality. It can be seen from her future life trajectory that she is not the kind of character who is limited by the times and the world, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to talk to Lan on the ship of so many people.

Under Lan’s deliberate guidance, she also quickly relaxed her nervous state of mind at the beginning.

“I’m so sorry to take the liberty to disturb you, because I often hear your poems and rumors, and…”

Xia Ni looked at Lan’s lion pupils: “I often hear stories about demon hunters, and there are rumors that you have also become one of them, and you don’t hide it. You know, I’m a medical student, so…”

Lan’s face changed.

Could it be that this little girl came to talk to herself not from a woman’s point of view, but from a medical point of view, she became interested in herself academically?

A face wearing a white surgical gown holding a scalpel and a sick red light flashed in his eyes suddenly appeared in his mind, and Lan diverted the topic without changing his face: “You said before that there are big insects in this vicinity, and there is danger?” ”

Shani didn’t realize the change in the subject of the conversation, or she thought that this was the topic that the demon hunter should talk about, and was easily taken away from the rhythm: “Yes, this area of the delta seems to be infested with monster-like bugs frequently. After I heard rumors, I compared the biological book, and they seem to look a lot like dragon lice. ”

Together, they leaned against the railing and looked at the murky deep green water. At this point the high tide begins and the stench of the water becomes strong. The first dead mouse surfaced.
