Chapter 1166 1148. Preparation
After saying that, Berengar clapped his hands and left. He had to quickly repair the armor that was broken by Smaug.
Lan En, on the other hand, was still looking at the letter Foltest sent asking for help, frowning.
“Such a big thing suddenly happened without any warning.”
Tisaya didn’t seem to have any fluctuations. She still sat in her seat proudly and dignifiedly, speaking softly without turning her head. asked.
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"If Foltest had other options, he wouldn't have come to me. This is a sensitive move."
Lan En Without raising his head, he flipped through the pieces of letter paper repeatedly, and occasionally took a sip of juice from the cup.
"And if the scope of this mutation is really expanded to the Pontal Valley. What the hell! I just bought shares in a cargo shipping company on the Pontal River!"
Hunting The demon complained, flicking the fine letter paper with his fingers.
And if something does happen in the Pontal Valley, it won't just be the fault of the river shipping companies.
The Pontar River crosses the four northern countries, and all the water transportation arteries of the four countries are on this river.
Once something happens in the Pontar Valley, the Valyrian Steel business will no longer be possible.
Without water transportation and relying solely on land transportation, transportation efficiency will be cut by 80%, and any profitable business will be ruined.
Publicly and privately, this incident has a huge impact, and Lan Endu is ready to accept Foltest's invitation to see what's going on.
"And to be honest, what I really want to do now has no one and no time."
Lan En's eyes did not move away from the letter, but the focus of his eyes was no longer on the letter.
“It’s good to do something else.”
Looking at Lan En’s side face, Margarita swallowed what she originally wanted to say.
——
After a period of time, Lan En did not leave immediately.
The changes near Elland have been going on for more than a month, and it doesn’t make much difference whether it’s a few days earlier or a few days later. And he still has to do some preparation work.
First of all, the repair of the Grandmaster-level Bear School armor is not that fast. The leather and tethers that were roasted by Smaug's dragon fire are of the highest quality to match this Grandmaster-level armor.
All the merchants in the city of Gos Velen are unable to get the goods in stock.
These top-quality leathers not only require good base materials, but also require magic and alchemical processing. The cost is very high and the demand is very small. Therefore, few merchants stock large quantities of goods.
Berengar had to contact the blacksmith in Sir Wesselad's Crow's Nest, and the two of them found half a merchant in Waylon to get it together.
But this is much faster than letting Berengar start processing leather on the spot.
It took two days to repair this set of master-level armor. On the day it was put on Lan En again, the blood in Lan En's body also completed the transformation.
Under the action of the [blood reconstruction organ], the blood flow throughout his body became a high-energy state that could carry more oxygen and nutrients.
Through breathing and food intake, he simultaneously filled the blood with nutrients when the blood transformation was completed.
In his body, the enhanced organs began to operate in a more efficient state and perform physiological activities.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of Lan En’s subconscious resistance, or whether [Spirit Vision] or some other force has an inhibitory effect on the growth hormone secreted by [Song Gland].
Anyway, in his memory, the Primaris Space Marines' height again skyrocketed to more than three meters, which did not happen.
On the contrary, his height has remained at 2.5 meters during this period, even if other enhanced organs were subsequently implanted, there was no change in body shape.
The strength has not dropped at all.
On the other hand, the space expansion pack produced by Aretusa has also been equipped for Velvet Ball.
The order for the space expansion pack in the academy has been waiting for a long time, but considering that the problem Lan En is going to go out to solve this time sounds really weird and dangerous.
So Tissaya and Margarita simply gave him the space expansion packs that had not yet been delivered after they were completed.
Not only is the ball of flannel now also carrying a small baggage made of devil skin on its back.
Qilin's luxurious and beautiful magic harness is also coupled with a common pair of horseback trousers.
A package made of petrified cockatrice skin and a package made of gliding lizard skin were connected together and placed on Qilin's butt.
This has greatly improved Lan En’s carrying capacity.
“This matter is related to the smooth flow of the Pontal Valley. This matter is of no small importance.”
Finally, Margarita whispered to Lan En when she was sent out of the city.
"Foltest will definitely make great efforts to solve this matter, and spell support is indispensable. Who has this honor, my dear?"
The sorceress with dazzling eyebrows looked at the witcher with an unspoken and ambiguous smile.
“Triss.” Following Margarita’s prompt, Lan said the name.
Although Temeria has many experienced royal advisors, only Triss will be sent there.
Because Lan En will go too.
"So enjoy it, my dear." Margarita encouraged, adjusting the bearskin collar on the witcher's repaired armor. "Don't hesitate when you need magic support. Although Triss is young and her magic power is so-so, she has good talent and is remarkable."
The mages who can compete to be appointed as royal advisors to Temeria, one of the four northern kingdoms, are evaluated as having "so-so magic power".
Anyone would think that some drunkard was talking nonsense.
But if the person who said this was Margarita Laux Andrea, it would be normal to express Triss's level based on her own level.
Philippa Eilhardt is the most powerful one among the many mages serving the four northern countries, but this woman seemed cautious when talking about magic-related topics in front of Margarita, for fear of Make a fool of yourself.
Since they began to study the elf beacon brought back by Lan En, in just a few months, Margarita and Tissaya had the ability to sense the intersection of the celestial sphere and estimate the opening time.
Their talents and spell abilities are undoubtedly top-notch.
"I hope you and Tissaya can also study in the academy what happened in that place to cause such a large area to be devoid of living creatures."
Lan En He scratched his cheek and said.
“If a certain warlock’s large-scale magic is out of control, or it’s a curse, I might not be able to do anything.”
"Don't worry, of course we will help you." Margarita held each other's hands under her chest to support the weight of her chest.
“But there must be news and samples from that land. According to the messenger, no one who went in can come out.”
“So if it’s that In this case, I will focus on land samples and information as my first target."
Lan En said, while turning over and riding on Qilin's back, the flannel ball that was originally catching grasshoppers on the ground also hurried back. When he came to his senses, he jumped up with a "meow" sound.
“We’re off, meow!”
The flannel ball carrying the new package waved cheerfully towards Margarita, and the sorceress smiled and raised her hand in response to the kitten.
Today's weather is good. There is still quite a bit of wind in Willen, but the clouds are not overcast and it doesn't look like it will rain.
The salty sea breeze blowing from the sea made Lan En's cloak rustle.
The plants in Willen have long been adapted to the sea breeze. On both sides of the country dirt road, slender grass stalks and fine yellow-white wildflowers were blown here and there, but they all grew steadily.
The salty sea breeze at least dispersed the lingering swamp stench on the land of Willen.
Qilin followed Lan En's command and walked leisurely on the dirt road in the countryside, the horse's hooves making a muffled sound of 'bang bang'.
“Meow?”
But the velvet ball, which became active because it wanted to take another adventure, sat on Qilin’s head, holding its half-grown broken horn and looking around, with The tail with three colors flicks.
"Boss, shouldn't we go to the northeast, Meow?"
The kitten scratched the triangular ears on its head, turned around and asked.
Elland is a principality city located in the northeastern corner of Temeria. It is distributed in a similar field pattern to the four northern kingdoms. It is also a city close to the Pontar Valley.
At first, Rongbuqiu thought it was because Lan En was not in a hurry, so he let Qilin walk on the winding country road in Wellen.
This kind of path is made by people walking spontaneously. It will naturally avoid swamps and difficult-to-walk depressions and hills.
So it is understandable that a road that was originally going to the northeast should go south first.
But after walking for so long and still walking towards the southeast, this is not right.
"Before going to Elland, I plan to replenish the funds embezzled from the Knights."
Lan En patted the robe hanging behind Qilin's butt, causing Gu Long to clap his hooves unaccustomedly. .
There was also a sound of snorting and snorting.
Moving towards the southeastern hinterland of Willen, the population density is getting smaller and smaller, while the various sounds in the surrounding mountains and dense forests are increasing.
On Balder Mountain not far away, the ancient and huge oak tree still has lush branches and leaves.
The road leading to the High Hill Castle where the Ember Knights are stationed is very remote, but the Knights have made it better and better.
Qilin's hooves stepped on the wooden bridge across the creek. The heavy ancient dragon and the witcher could not make the wooden bridge unbearable.
"Tsk" Lan En tilted his head and looked down, raising an eyebrow, "You guys are not building towards military-grade roads, are you?"
But think about what he has done It doesn't seem impossible that the general atmosphere brought by these knights under his command is not impossible.
"Indeed, my lord."
As Lan En complained, on the road in front of him, a small group of cavalry with bright and rigorous armor trotted over from the corner.
The leading knight among the five or six people lifted up his visor, took the lead to stop in front of Lan En, got off his horse, and then approached Qilin.
He bowed to the demon hunter sitting on the ancient dragon and saluted smoothly and standardly.
"It is a pleasure to welcome you back in person, my lord."
