From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Gemstones have always been the magic power carrier with the highest appearance rate in all kinds of Western fantasy worlds, and are often used by various wizards and wizards as objects of magic power storage or alchemy materials.

"The Witcher 3" is not exempt from this. The gems in the original book can enchant equipment. All kinds of equipment forging and alchemy of special potions require various gems and crystals as materials.

The warlock's remote communication device also needs crystals and gems as materials. In the original novel, in order to make a communication device far enough away, the heroine also took a huge diamond as the treasure of the sect town because it "has unparalleled magical power".

Lane had long guessed that special minerals such as gems and crystals would contain magic power, or even the "source of magic power", 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 power in the end.

Lane guessed that there were some tricks he didn't know about the selection of gemstones, and this knowledge was probably known only to serious warlocks.

As for the unexpected joy in front of me, is there anything worth hesitating about?

Lan En grabbed the crystal with one hand, and saw the prompt box in front of him shake for a while, and an inexplicable energy flowed from the crystal directly beyond Lan En.

At the same time, Lan En was pleasantly surprised to see that the dark parts on the panel lit up little by little, as if they had just met the dew.

Among them is Lan En's coveted [Dharma Seal] skill panel!

[Absorb the source of magic power, skill point +1]

However, before Lann could react, the feeling of surging energy disappeared in a flash. With the increase of skill points, the magic power was completely absorbed by the panel, and those panels that were briefly lit dimmed again.

Lane's hand, which was just about to place a seal, stopped tremblingly.

It took several deep breaths to calm down, and several thoughts collided in Lan's mind like lightning.

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

And after a glimpse just now, the only skills that are activated are [Fatal Seal], such as [Alchemy] and [Adrenaline] in [Battle] are not activated. This should be because the body only has the condition of "magic power" just now, while the other "poison resistance" and "adrenaline body" do not have it.

In other words, my guess all along was correct, as long as I became a demon hunter, I could activate all the skills on the panel.

Soon, Lane comforted himself in his heart. soon.

Regretfully looking at the dimmed panel again, Lan put the skill points he had just acquired on [Mountainless] again.

[Mountainless]: When dodging, the damage value of the attack is reduced by 80%. Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +4%. (4/5)

At this level, Lan can already dodge most of the attacks. It was only the last skill point away from the unreasonable god-level dodging effect.

"Lord Earl!" A fanatical voice pulled Lan out of his contemplation, and when he looked up, he saw his newly recruited servant, Sward, standing in front of him with a fanatic face.

This little blacksmith is his own fanboy, and after performing Wushuang on the spot just now, I don't know how much his favorability has been increased.

"All materials, casualties, and prisoners have been counted, please give instructions!"

Lan En was amused by the serious look of this guy, and answered him solemnly:

"Repair in place, and bring the troops back at dawn tomorrow!"

At this time, it was almost dusk, and it was not too far from Sintra, but it would take at least half a day's journey. There is no reason to drive overnight in the woods, not to mention that even if you drive back, it is impossible to open the city gate in the middle of the night.

Just relying on the camps of these robbers to station on the spot, it also saved the soldiers the effort of camping.

Soon the moon was on the treetops, the bonfire was lit, and the soldiers were grouped into groups to roast dry food. Lan En was surrounded by his three attendants and several deputy captains, listening to them explain some knowledge about the operation of the city defense army.

Beside a fire on the edge of the camp, several soldiers looked towards Lan from a distance and whispered.

"If you want to say that the Earl is really as noble and noble as the one in the legend, just camp outside like us and eat together."

"Which lord? What kind of quality is noble?"

"It's Lord Lannister, the lion knight in the poem. That is the father of the Earl. I heard that he not only has the courage of a lion, but also has a noble mind. He often...often...just like ordinary nobles no the same."

"What? The Lion Knight is the father of our Lord Earl?"

The gazes of the other soldiers all turned over at once, as if they were looking at something stupid.

"If you have nothing to do, go to Rose Garden to find a girl, and inquire with everyone in the team and chat more..."

The soldier who started the conversation picked up the rations and slapped the recruit on the forehead, and continued:

"What I mean is, the Earl is noble-minded. But even if the Earl is noble-minded and doesn't care about eating these poor people's dry food, we have to think about the Earl, right?"

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"Go get some game in the jungle!"

On the other side, the screams of the seriously injured robber gradually subsided, and the soldier in charge of the interrogation wiped his hands on the corpse of the robber, trying to wipe off the strong smell of blood.

"My lord, the interrogation came out, and one died."

Lan En paused while eating, and felt a slight pain in breathing when he saw that there was no increase in the panel.

The soldier who was reporting continued with a look of admiration: "My lord, as you expected, there are still remnants of this bandit group. Just before we came, they were preparing to evacuate, and their leader left early to find an evacuation route." For a while, it just happened to stagger with us."

Lane nodded: "Then he will definitely come back, let everyone be vigilant after rectifying, and don't let go of anything approaching the camp."

After thinking for a while, Lan En asked again: "Did he say what characteristics this leader has? Pass it to the soldiers so that everyone can know in their hearts."

"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."

The deputy captain who was listening immediately laughed: "Four or five people? They are all refugees without weapons, right? Who can't cut ten with a sword?"

Lane waved the man to shut up, signaling the interrogator to continue.

"Not only that... The robber also said that their leader is usually used to carrying two swords on his back, and he always carries some bottles and jars that are said to be magic potions."

"Magic potion? That was made up by their leaders to scare the people below? Where did the robbers get the magic potion?"

The deputy captain laughed even louder, but he didn't see Lan En's face gradually changing.

"Not only these." The interrogator said, "They also mentioned that their leader's eyes are very strange, as if..."

"Cat-like amber?" Lane asked softly.

"Yes... how do you know, my lord?"

In the night, deep in the jungle, a figure in an ambush 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.
