"In the past few days, Kaedwen soldiers have come over to provoke us from time to time." Kolgrim said gloomily, "To be honest, if we hadn't considered that we are also worried about causing conflicts on behalf of one political force, I would have taught you a lesson long ago.

Those stinky guys.”

Lan En was happy: "I also want to thank you for taking me into consideration?"

Kolgrim nodded matter-of-factly: "You're welcome."

Oaks punched Kolgrim on the shoulder angrily: "When did we avoid the official army before? Even without Lan, you can't fart!"

"Who said that?!" Kolgrim suddenly frowned.

He rolled his eyes and suddenly pointed at the bald man who had been silently beside him and said: "Ask Leitho to lend me his 'poisonous silver sword', and I will dare to let those Kaedwen soldiers have a taste of their power.

!”

Lei Suo, who was drinking silently, was stunned and shook his head helplessly.

As the contemporary leader of the Serpent Faction, he is the most calm and calm, but like all demon hunters, he does not put on any airs. Many times, Kolgrim and the others regard Leitho as their elder brother, the kind of brother who "is like a father."

.

He had been acting as a listener during the drinking conversation, but he didn't expect Kolgrim to suddenly pull him out as a shield.

The [Snake Sect Venomous Silver Sword] that he had just acquired was shining brightly behind his back, and Leiso, who regarded it as a treasure, could not lend it to Kolgrim casually.

Lann smiled and took the initiative to change the subject and asked Lei Suo: "How does this sword feel?"

A trace of intoxication and enjoyment flashed across Leisuo's face: "It's great, I really don't know where you found it from. But I want to thank you again, Lann."

Along the way, Leisuo has participated in many battles with this sword, especially the time when he fought against the fork-tailed dragon at the gate of the fortress. The [Snake Sect Venomous Silver Sword] cut through the scales and spine of the dragon-like creature as easily as cutting through it.

It's so difficult to turn over a water ghost. This makes Leisuo even more grateful to Lan.

"This sword is the best quality sword I have ever seen. Even the gryphon silver sword my mentor gave me is not as good as him."

Of course, in addition to the [Sword of the Lake Lady] and [Alice] that Lan is currently carrying on his back.

Lann said in a joking tone: "I even doubt whether this sword is the sword of Ivar Evil Eye, the leader of your school."

This sentence was originally just spoken by Lan En, but the reaction of the snake sect demon hunter was beyond his expectation.

Whether it was Letho, Kolgrim, Oakes or Seret, they all began to shake their heads seriously.

"No, I have seen Master Iva's sword, and it is completely different from this sword. Maybe it is the sword of a senior who died outside."

In the eyes of everyone in the Snake Faction, this sentence was ordinary. But Lann heard something different.

"Wait a minute, Leisuo, have you ever met 'Iva Evil Eye', the founder of your school?"

Leisuo nodded as he should: "Yes."

Then he saw Lan's surprised expression, and after thinking about it, he figured out the key point.

"You have only seen the four of us Snake Sect so far, which may have caused you some misunderstanding. But in fact, Master Ivar is still alive, and it was only because of him that we were able to survive when Nilfgaard destroyed the Snake Sect.

There should be five more people in the Snake Sect."

"Are you sure? That was the Grand Master who was active during the Demon Hunter Order. If he were still alive, how old would he be now?" Lann said in disbelief, "Is he still in Nilfgaard now? Why didn't he talk to you?

Come to the north together?"

Facing Lan's inquiry, Leisuo shook his head: "Although Master Iva is still alive, he embarked on a journey alone not long ago. His evil eye seemed to see something, which forced him to move towards his goal.

.That is why he passed on the position of mentor to me and asked me to lead everyone to seek the path to the revival of the school."

Kolgrim also helped: "That was after I arrived in the North. When Lan and I met, I even planned to write a letter and send it back to Master Ivar. I would wait until I met Leisuo and the others.

Knowing that Master Iva left, I regretted it for a long time."

The words of the Snake Faction made Lan fall into deep thought.

He admitted that he was greedy.

Ivar Evil Eye. A super mutant who has endured more witcher mutations than ordinary witchers because of his body's outstanding drug resistance. He is a founder of the sect that has existed since the time of the witcher order. In this way

How strong can one person be?

And judging from the respectful tone and retelling of Leisuo and others, Ivar Evil Eye is definitely still in his prime.

Unfortunately, it was too late to win over him. Ivar didn't know what he saw with his evil eye, and he actually left his struggling school and walked away.

That is to say, Lei Suo is really powerful, and the Snake Faction is also rare in having cohesion, which is why the Snake Faction did not fall apart.

And judging from the tone of Leisuo and others, they even understood what Ivar Evil Eye was doing and didn't feel abandoned by him.

"Did Grandmaster Iwa tell you where he was going and what he was going to do?"

"No." Leisuo shook his head, "But we believe he has a reason to do this."

"Then do you want to find him?"

Leisuo was silent this time, and after a long time he sighed: "I want to."

Obviously, he didn't have any complaints about the Grandmaster's departure, but those trivial thoughts had always been suppressed by trust in his heart.

Lan could only say: "After we return to Cintra, I will strengthen the propaganda of the Demon Hunter Order, especially the news that 'the Snake Sect is also in the Order', if Grandmaster Ivar sees it

I will definitely come to find you."

Leisuo nodded.

The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

But something suddenly occurred to Kolgrim: "Lan, where is the founder of your Griffin School? I heard Master Ivar say that he seems to be called 'Elan of Larvik'?"

Lan thought for a while and said: "I have only been a demon hunter for two years, and I have never met Grandmaster Elam. Kaer Siren was once destroyed by an avalanche created by the warlocks. Grandmaster Elam mistakenly thought that the entire school was wiped out.

So he left in despair and has not been heard from since."

"My mentor Jie Long was imprisoned by his warlock father for experiments when he was out to receive a commission, so he escaped. I rescued him by accident, and then by a wonderful fate, he became

Witcher."

Lann briefly introduced the current situation of the Griffin School.

And from the perspective of Leisuo and others who didn't know the specific situation, the Griffin School seemed to be in a worse situation than the Snake School.

"It's a pity, Master Ivar has so much praise for Grandmaster Elan, and every time he mentions him, he is always fascinated." Lei Suo sighed, "I have always wanted to see with my own eyes the griffon knight that Master Ivar talked about.

"

Several demon hunters looked at each other in silence, clinking glasses and drinking.

After one round, Kolgrim suddenly thought of something.

"Lan, do you think your Elan Grandmaster is still alive?"

Lan was silent and shook his head: "No one can tell, maybe. After I publicize the news of the Gryphon's revival in Cintra, maybe he will come back."

The topic was too heavy, and several demon hunters once again looked at each other in silence and clinked glasses.

However, this atmosphere did not last long.

A cheer soon broke in, dispersing the wine and silence.

"It's done, my painting!"

Alice stood up from the chair happily, but seemed to quickly realize how rude her behavior was. She immediately covered her mouth with one hand and looked apologetically at the witchers at the table.

This expression on the face of a gothic young woman full of melancholy and brokenness really has a different kind of contrasting charm.

In fact, Alice is very happy. She has been confused and depressed for who knows how many years, and has not experienced emotions other than "sadness" and "pain" for who knows how many years.

Lann walked towards her with a smile and looked at the painting on the easel.

Above are two leaders facing each other.

One is a mighty knight with blond hair and lion eyes. He looks as young as the rising sun, but also has the majesty of a mountain. At this time, he is inserting a gleaming rune sword back into its scabbard, and at the same time he is talking to the person opposite.

What are you wearing?

Just from the canvas, you can feel the charm of this knight. Anyone who looks at this painting will be immediately caught by this knight.

Opposite him was a lady wearing gold-inlaid armor and a crown, with a calm expression but a hint of unnoticeable embarrassment.

Behind them are the knights, the forest, and the corpses of two huge fork-tailed dragons. There are also some other monsters scattered around.

"You said you wanted me to draw a painting as a gift to the Queen, and I thought of this scene immediately." Alice said softly.

Yes, Alice was at the scene at that time. And she was right next to Lan.

Although Alice is the [Demon Spirit in the Painting], her [Tsubaki] talent gives her a lot of possibilities. In addition to her own portrait, she can actually possess Lann's [Alice] scimitar.

above.

Alice possesses [Alice], which makes sense.

After all, she can't always possess portraits that are inconvenient to carry. Unlike the [Transformation Device Sealing Technique], the paintings she possesses cannot be stored in the [Inventory].

It was also because of this that Alice, who was possessed by the scimitar, saw the scene of Lan showing off his power to rescue the Queen, and re-created the scene adding some of her own subjective emotions.

By the way, if Lann wants to kill someone with a machete, he must tell Alice in advance to let her release the possession. This lady is not yet able to adapt to negative distance contact killing.

Lann cannot be said to know much about art, but under the education of the old housekeeper and the influence of Queen Calanthe during the earl period, he had some appreciation ability.
