Chapter 224 The Temple of Freya only has the priestess and the goddess

After hearing Gede's words, Lane choked and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gede is a heroic person who is consistent in his appearance and does not care that Lane may make others feel uncomfortable, but instead takes the initiative to talk down the topic.

"But besides you, I have never seen any other witch hunter who is stronger than me - even in the Bear Sect, I still have confidence."

"Before I escaped here, let alone in the archipelago, even the entire northern border and the south occupied by Niphgaard, I have never encountered anyone who is stronger than me..."

But Lane accurately grasped the keywords in Gued's words: "Ged, you said you 'escape' to Skellig? Are you in trouble? If you don't mind, maybe you can talk to me, maybe there's something I can help."

If it were an ordinary person, he might give himself some respect and cover up his "escape" and say it was "strategic transfer".

But after hearing Lane's words, Gede didn't care at all, and told his past truthfully in chatting:

"I'm ashamed to say that I used to be a king. But then the country broke out in a coup, and the king's daughter claimed that her father was the usurper and that she was the orthodox heir - I know this sounds ridiculous, but she really said that."

"This coup was finally successful, and I was wanted for my firm support for the previous kings, so I fled to Skellig. But I didn't expect that they had found this place a few days ago, almost turning a tavern into scorched earth. Fortunately, the guards here were particularly severe during that time, preventing the tragedy from happening."

Ged lowered his head and showed his loss for the first time in his conversation with Lane, where he was watching silence for the king he had served.

"I know he is not a good person. He has committed crimes and his hands are covered with blood. But how many of the nobles in the North are normal? And he respects me sincerely and is very good to me - now I rarely see anyone who can treat demon hunters like this."

It was obvious that Gede told a sad story, but Lane's eyes lit up when he heard it.

He found a suitable entry point from Gued's self-report.

The words that almost penetrated into his tongue's muscle memory naturally popped out:

"Ged, if that's the case, you can come to Sintra-I have enough confidence to give you political asylum. And I promise you that everyone in Sintra has a heartfelt respect for the witch hunter."

"To be honest, I plan to revive the Witch Hunter Cult in Sintra. Now there are griffins, wolves, snakes, and cats. If the bear sect can also join, then we will almost have the prototype of the original sect..."

...

This is the first time Lane has said so confidently that he would recruit. According to his previous style, he told the griffin that he had obtained support from wolves, snakes, and cats, and told the wolves that there were already griffin, snakes, and cats joining - this was done.

But this time he really collected all the above four schools, so he was particularly confident in recruiting Gede.

However, things went against my wishes.

This time, Lann's most confident solicitation so far was rejected, and it was a flat rejection, not the ambiguous "consideration" of the Wolf Sect before.

"Sorry, Lane. But I have found someone who can play for it now, that is Thorgil Tursek."

Gede said sincerely: "When I fled to the point where Skeliger had no place to live, he took me in, and gave me respect, and gave me bread, meat, and wine."

"Although we have a mutually beneficial relationship, he regards me as a friend and I also attract him as a confidant. We are very close to each other and I am very happy to live here."

"You may have heard some rumors about the Bear Sect, and I can tell you that most of them are true - at least for the Witch Hunter Cult, I really don't have any sense of belonging and no idea of ​​revitalizing the school."

The Bear Sect Witch Hunter shook his head gently, looked at Lane with a shocked face and laughed.

"I would rather be happy with my brothers than these great missions, whether I follow them or lead them."

"But if I have Skellig, I can still help you, which is why I am waiting for you here."

"Torgir was the elder of King Bran, so he gave me a new commission - let me help you and support Easter to ascend the throne."

——

After a while.

Sitting on the dragon boat heading to Indalsfell Island, Lann looked melancholy.

At this moment, he was surrounded by only Dona Ann Sinda, the lord of the Haimei family, and the bear school witch hunter Gede who temporarily joined the team, plus the ten Sintra soldiers led by Milva.

As for Geralt, Kogrim and Cohen, the three witch hunters, they each led their teams to clean up the missions on the Great Skellig Island and the Small Skellig Island.

It is still in the preparation stage for collecting intelligence and the war has not officially started. There is no need to lead all the troops around. It is better to let them use local resources to improve their strength for Lan En, and bring their own guards to make them more familiar with handling such affairs.

The witch hunters were happy, especially Cohen.

【Task-House in the Forest-Completed】

【Task-Unmarried Person-Completed】

【Task-Mermaid at the bottom of the well-completed】

【People level improvement +1】

In terms of the terms in the game - Skellig has too many "question marks" and "exclamation marks". There are many commissions that can be received, and it pushed Lane up one level in a short time.

Now Lan's level has reached level 32, and he has finally saved 4 skill points in his hand.

There is nothing to say. According to the original plan, I left 1 skill point for the minions I might encounter. The remaining 3 skill points were invested by Lann in the skills that he had already been ready to open.

[Second Mutation] Page Skills - [French Seal] Classification - [Boneburn] Add points!

【Boneburn】: The Alder Seal can freeze enemies.

A very short skill introduction, and the effect is also very direct. It directly gives [Alder Seal] a new effect, making it from a simple mental impact to an ice element attack.

In the future, Lann will also be a scene with the left-hand ice special effect and the right-hand flame special effect.

[Bonebra] Lanen once saw Jeron use this skill in Toustente's underground laboratory. At that time, Lanen was not a demon hunter, and Jeron had just been awakened from his sleep. At that time, the blizzard produced by [Bonebrabra] directly turned the monsters in the underground laboratory into ice sculptures, and then tore them into ice with the strong wind.

I wonder how much difference is there between Fayin and Teacher Jielong now?

...

Just as Lanen was thinking, Gued looked at Lanen with a strange look.

His witch hunter felt keenly that the young man with lion eyes around him suddenly became a little different, but there was no way to say it was different.

However, because Gede and Lane were still not familiar enough, they thought for a while but still couldn't ask the doubts in their hearts.

At the same time, Dona's voice also sounded: "We're here..."

“Welcome to Indalsfell Island!”

The island was surrounded by a faint mist, but everyone on the boat knew that lush woods and blue coral reefs were hidden in the mist.

Indalsfell Island is the smallest island on the Skelig Islands, but its status is the most special - it is the birthplace of islander culture.

At this moment, Lann and Gede were both here with missions. Although Dona was also a wise old lord, he was eager to avenge his dead family guards.

So after seeing that Lann and Gued didn't care, Dona no longer wasted his time in pomp and entertainment, and led his group toward the goal of this time, the Temple of Freya.

...

Apart from the Eternal Fire, this is the second time that Lane has seen a large religion base camp.

If the Temple Island of Eternal Fire gave Lane the impression of luxury and solemnity.

Then the only feeling Freya gave Lane was "natural".

What appeared before Lanen was a land like a garden. It almost circled a corner of the forest with a wall, with lots of trees and flowers and plants inside. The vibrant appearance almost reminded Lanen of Brochron.

It is also far from the image of "church" in Lann's imagination and cognition.

Dona led his group to the middle of the garden, and introduced to these outsiders the goddess Skelliger's most noble status and most beloved by his believers:

"Freya is the goddess of stove, love and fertility, and also the protector of oracles, prophets and telepaths. The warriors will pray to Him before going to sea to rob, and the wife who is left on the island will also pray for her husband to return safely."

As Lanen and his group went deeper, women like village women wearing coarse linen began to appear on the roadside.

They dressed like village women, and their bodies were all slim. Although their skin was not very delicate, they were not rough.

Most of them wore braids and carried flower baskets or fruit baskets, which were full of youth and vitality. This temperament and appearance reminded Lane of the female students she had met in the cattle castle for a moment.

According to Dona's introduction, they are all sacrifices in the temple.

As the group passed by, they greeted Dona one after another, and the lord also greeted them.

After saying hello to Dona, they could see that they had slowed down significantly and seemed not in a hurry to do what they were originally going to do-

——A bunch of eyes scanned Lann.

Dona smiled and looked at the young priestesses who were curiously looking at here, among which he could see a few girls who were only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Even if there is a flower basket blocking it in front of them, it is not difficult to see the flushing on their faces due to shyness.

"If it were usual, they would leave in a hurry after saying hello to me. I didn't expect to stop today - this is the treatment that I, a lord for decades, has not been given, Lane."

Lann's face was calm and he was used to such small scenes.

Gede felt that these eyes were fresh. Even though he had gained a lot of recognition in Skellig, he was mostly praised by big men or lords of similar style to him. The eyes of these little girls were rarely seen...

But if you remember correctly, shouldn't the little girls in the archipelago like brave sea warriors or warriors fighting against mountain rocks? The handsome knight like Lann should theoretically not be popular?

Thinking of this, Gede also turned his eyes to Lane. Of course, the emotions in his eyes must be different from those of the priestesses.

"Why are there such little children here?" Lann looked at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls with deer-like eyes, "They are also priests?"

The images of these priests are also far from the stereotypes of “church” in Lane’s cognitive and imagined.

In the Freya sect, men can worship Freya, but only women can perform His will, so there are only priestesses in the sect.

"If you say the official title, they are indeed 'priests'." Donner nodded to confirm Lann's question, "but they are still in the 'apprentice' stage. The sect will adopt orphans who have lost their families in battle, raise them, teach them to read, write, and pray. The gifted ones will be trained to become priests."
