Chapter 196 How strong is Alice’s painting skills?

But Queen Miwe quickly adjusted her mood. She looked at the several snake sect demon hunters who were cleaning up the monster's corpse, and then looked at Lann's lion eyes.

"I suddenly admire your foresight. Are the people behind you all demon hunters?" Queen Miwe said, "Their skills are amazing. Now I really hope there are a few demon hunters in my territory."

Already."

Lann smiled slightly and said nothing. He waved his hand and inserted the golden rune sword back into the scabbard on his back.

After confirming Lann's identity, Queen Meve's knights also confirmed that the magical sword in his hand was what countless knights dreamed of. Their eyes were almost always glued to Lann's Sword of the Lake Lady, until this one

The golden light of runes on the surface of the sword was completely covered by the scabbard.

Reinforcements from the fortress rolled in, but stopped awkwardly in front of everyone. There was no need for support here.

Lann looked back and saw that his warriors had almost finished cleaning the battlefield, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture to Queen Miwe.

"Your Majesty must be frightened. Why don't you go back to the fortress and take a rest?"

Queen Meve also smiled slightly: "Let's go together, Lannister."

The embarrassed United Kingdom army, the fully loaded Cintra army, and the reinforcements that slipped around left the battlefield in an orderly manner and entered the fortress not far away, kicking up billows of dust.

The body of the fork-tailed dragon was taken away, but the ghouls were left behind.

The scattered limbs squeezed blood and seeped into the soil, and the wind blew up a disgusting fishy smell.

Theoretically, this kind of scene is the most attractive to ghouls, but unfortunately, the one lying here this time is a ghoul.

After a while, crows began to fill the sky.

There was a sudden sway of trees in the jungle on both sides of the road, and pairs of eyes observed the noise on the mainland in the woods, and then disappeared.

The owner of these eyes didn't know how long he had been here, but he had never been discovered. It was not until he decided to leave that there was any slight movement.

Among this group of people, the leader was a guy wearing a black cloak and brown leather armor.

His face was painted with colorful oil paint, so his true appearance could not be seen, but his pointed ears revealed his identity——

Elf.

They shuttled through the jungle for a long time and soon came to a small camp. In order to hide themselves, the people in the camp did not light a fire, but the atmosphere between the tents had a depressive boiling feeling.

The human race here is even richer. In addition to elves, there are also dwarves, halflings and gnomes. The total number of people here exceeds a hundred.

Only there are no humans.

And if you want to find one thing in common among so many races - it is that they all wear squirrel fur decorations on their bodies.

Seeing the elf as the leader coming back, several elves immediately gathered around eagerly, chattering and asking if the plan was going well.

The elf shook his head, not knowing what he said, but a few words were vaguely brought out from the flow of the wind.

"Failure...Meve...Henselt...Witcher!"

…………

There used to be a proverb in the north: "Whoever controls the Pontal Valley can control the entire north."

From this sentence, we can get a glimpse of the strategic position of the Pontal Valley.

The Haji Fortress is the only war fortress in the Pontar Valley and the largest military fortress in the entire Northern Kingdom.

In the long history, Redania, Temeria, Aedirn, and Kaedwen all once had control over it, and they all lost their right to own it one after another.

Until it became the deserted land it is today.

The furnishings in such a deserted land will naturally not be very comfortable. But for demon hunters, such an environment is already a rare comfort.

A hall in the fortress was turned into a living room for marching, with a bed, a desk, and a dining table scattered around.

Lan was sitting on the desk writing something, while the snake witchers were drinking and chatting around the dining table, while the attendants and soldiers were standing guard outside.

The fire inside the fireplace burns warmly.

In addition to these people, there is a looming and slender figure in the room. She is sitting in front of a drawing board, applying colors and outlining lines.

She has a slim and graceful figure, wearing a dark Gothic-style dress that looks as plain as a mourning dress. Her black veil is lifted and draped behind her head, almost blending into her ebony hair.

Alice, she is painting.

The empty and warm room, the earl who was concentrating on his work, the demon hunter who was resting, and the soul who was painting with a smile. These elements that seemed unharmonious no matter how you looked at them, actually reached a delicate balance at this moment.

People in it even feel a little comfortable.

Spread out in front of Lann was the [Gryphon School Contact Note], and it was time for him to contact his mentor for the first time in a long time.

"Dear teacher, you see your words as you see them:

I have arrived at the Fortress of Haji, and I am about to hold the northern talks that will determine the fate of Sintra. This is a crucial step. Those who trust me, those who are loyal to me, and those who follow me, their expectations are all on me. I shoulder the responsibility

Mission, and therefore often out of breath."

[Translation]: What a responsible and righteous disciple. Do other disciples have such ability and awareness at this age? In the eyes of outsiders, the Lion Knight of Sintra, who is always shining brightly and full of confidence, is also confused and uneasy in his heart.

time, and he only appears in front of his teacher for help. So, teacher, don’t you really come and help your proud disciple?

"I was pleasantly surprised to meet a tortured feline witcher, Kyaan, in Novigrad. I rescued him from the warlock's lab and helped him regain his sanity and health. He now joins

My order of witchers is stationed in Novigrad to help me collect information, and at the same time fulfill the original duties of a witcher, hoping to restore some reputation for my fellow cats..."

[Translation]: Does the experience of this Cat sect demon hunter feel very similar to you, teacher? Have you empathized with him and wanted to meet him in the mountains? And the way the Cat sect saves the school is to join the world, do you want to do the same?

Study it?

"At the same time, I also met four demon hunters from the Snake School, one of whom I had rescued in the White Orchard. Only then did I learn that the Snake School had been destroyed by Nilfgaard. After learning that Cintra

After the situation, they happily joined my Demon Hunter Order plan and worked together to make the Demon Hunter great again..."

[Translation]: The same school of thought was destroyed. Teacher, look at other people’s consciousness.

" Along the way, I found that there were more monsters and more frequent monsters than before. This has also been verified by other northerners. Maybe something has changed in the outside world, and this is the time when demon hunters are needed most.

…”

【Translation】:Teacher, please come out quickly.

"I hunted two fork-tailed dragons on the way. The decoction made from their mutagenic substances is of great benefit to the Griffin School. After this meeting is over, I need to go to Kel Siren to get your guidance.

.At the same time, I also hope that with your help, my troops can return to Sintra as soon as possible..."

After adding a series of sincere greetings, he signed the signature.

Lan exhaled a long breath and moved his somewhat stiff neck.

"Lan, I see you have been sitting there for a long time, how about we have a drink together?"

At the dining table, Kolgrim shouted to Lan.

Lan went over and took the wine glass: "I'm writing a letter."

"Letter?" Seret was surprised, "Do you nobles write your letters directly on the book?"

Lan smiled and shook his head, shook his contact note in front of them, turned his palm and put it back in the [Inventory].

"This is the unique communication technique of the Griffin School, a magic prop. The content I wrote in this book can be completely reproduced in another book thousands of miles away."

Lan En did not conceal this matter from his colleagues in the Snake School as he did from Yada.

After hearing this, Leisuo once again said in a tone of wonder without expression: "Is it really the Griffin School..."

After being together with Lann, they had to accept a little gryphon shock from time to time.

"What about you? What were you talking about just now?" Lann drank all the wine in the glass.

Just now, he was focused on how to express his "missing" for Jeroen in the letter, and did not pay much attention to the chatter of the witcher.

"About those soldiers of Kaedwen." Oakes shook his head, looking very unhappy.

Demon hunters have keen senses, and snake sects, as assassins, are particularly sensitive to other people's eyes.

From the moment they entered the Pontar Valley, the Kaedwen soldiers looked at them with very strong hostility and contempt; after their group rescued Queen Meve and the Kaedwen people arrived belatedly

, this hostility is even worse.

Along the way, Lann had heard countless people say bad things about Kaedwin and their king Henselt. King Henselt has not yet been seen, so the rumors about Kaedwin can only live up to their name.

Kaedwen is the most extensive country in the North and the second largest country in the entire continent after Nilfgaard.

However, such a vast territory has not produced a sufficiently civilized country. Kaedwen has a cold and unforgiving climate, with a large number of vast primeval forests scattered throughout the territory. Kadwen people are also known for their barbarism and vulgarity.

The king of this country, Henselt, was famous for being extremely greedy and irritable, and he was also famous for hating non-human races. He invested a lot of money and manpower in forming a guerrilla force to encircle and suppress non-human races, which set off a

The leading element in racial conflicts in mainland China.

Many rumors have said that the "Squirrel Party" that is killing humans today was secretly funded and established by the Emperor of Nilfgaard. This statement is not unfounded; but even if it is true, the Scoia'tael can be assembled so quickly.

A group of killers who hated human beings to their core, King Henselt also played an important role.

The Emperor of Nilfgaard was able to invade the North so easily thanks to the various weird kings in the North.
