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.


    Lanne, 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 solemnly and dignifiedly, and asked softly without turning her head.


    “Are you sure you want to go?”


    "If Foltest had any other way, he wouldn''t have come to me. This is a sensitive move."


    Without even raising his head, Lan En flipped through the pieces of letter paper and took a sip of juice from time to time.


    “And if the scope of this change is really expanded to the Pontal Valley, what the hell! I just bought shares in a cargo shipping company on the Pontal River!”


    The witcher complained and flicked the fine letter paper with his fingers.


    ??And if something does happen in the Pontal Valley, it won’t just be the inland shipping company’s fault.


    ??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.


    The impact of this incident was too great, both public and private, and Lan Endu was prepared to accept Foltest''s invitation to see what was going on.


    “And to be honest, what I really want to do right now is something I don’t have the resources or the time to do.”


    ? Lan En’s eyes did not move away from the letter, but the focus of his eyes was no longer on the letter.


    “It would be nice to do something else.”


    Looking at Lan En’s profile, Margarita swallowed back what she originally wanted to say.


    —


    After a period of time, Lan En did not leave immediately.


    ??The changes near Airland have been going on for more than a month, and there is not much difference between a few days earlier and a few days later. And he still has to make some preparations.


    ??First of all, the repair of the Grandmaster Bear School armor is not that fast. The leather and tethers that have been roasted by Smaug''s dragon fire are of the highest quality to match this Grandmaster armor.


    All the merchants in the city of Gos Velen are unable to get the goods in stock.


    ?These top-quality leathers not only need good base materials, but also need to be treated with magic and alchemy. 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 Velen 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, when the blood transformation is completed, he also fills the blood with nutrients at the same time.


    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 [Spiritual Vision] or some other force has an inhibitory effect on the growth hormone secreted by [Song Gland].


    ??In any case, 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 with flannel balls.


    ?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 packages that had not yet been delivered after they were completed.


    Not only did the ball of flannel now have a small bundle made of devil skin to carry on his back.


    ??Qilin''s luxurious and beautiful magic harness is also coupled with a common horseback trousers.


    A package made of petrified cockatrice skin and a package made of gliding lizard skin were connected together and placed on the Qilin''s buttocks.


    ?This has really greatly improved the carrying capacity of Lan En and the others.


    “It is a matter of great importance regarding the smooth flow of the Pontal Valley.”


    Finally, Margarita whispered to Lan En as he was being 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 turned around and looked at the witcher with an unspoken and ambiguous smile.


    “Triss.” Following Margarita’s prompt, Lann 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 has so-so magic power, she has good talent and is quite remarkable."


    ?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".


    ??Anyone would think this was a drunkard talking nonsense.


    But if the person who said this was Margarita Laux Andrea, it would be normal to express Triss''s level at her own level.


    Philippa Eilhardt is the most powerful one among the many mages serving the four northern countries, but this woman always speaks cautiously when talking about magic-related topics in front of Margarita, for fear of making a fool of herself.


    ??Ever 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 spheres and estimate the opening time.


    Their talents and spell abilities are undoubtedly top-notch.


    “I hope you and Tisaya 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 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 goes in can come out.”


    “So if that’s the case, I would just focus on land samples and information as my first goal.”


    ??Lan En said, and at the same time he turned over and rode on Qilin''s back. The flannel ball that was catching grasshoppers on the ground quickly came to his senses and jumped up with a "meow" sound.


    “We’re off, meow!”


    ??Carrying the newly wrapped velvet ball on her back, she waved cheerfully towards Margarita, and the sorceress smiled and raised her hand in response to the kitten.


    The weather is good today. There is still quite a bit of wind in Willen, but the clouds are not overcast and it does not 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 rural dirt road, the slender grass stalks and the fine yellow-white wildflowers were blown here and there, but they all grew steadily.


    The salty sea breeze has at least dispersed the lingering swamp stench on the land of Velen.


    Qilin followed Lan En''s command and walked slowly on the dirt road in the countryside, the horse''s hooves making a muffled sound of "bang bang".


    "Meow?"


    ??But the flannel ball, which became active because it was about to take another adventure, sat on the Qilin''s head, holding its half-grown broken horn and looking around, flicking its tail with three colors.


    “Boss, shouldn’t we go to the northeast, Meow?”


    The kitten scratched the triangular ears on his head, turned around and asked.


    ? ?Elland is a principality city located in the northeastern corner of Temeria. It is distributed in an approximate grid-like pattern among 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 twists and turns of the country road in Wellen.


    ?This kind of path is made by people walking on their own initiative, and will naturally avoid swamps, depressions and hills that are difficult to walk.


    ?Hence, it is understandable that a road that was originally going to the northeast would take a detour to the south first.


    But it’s not right to still be heading southeast after walking for so long.


    “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.


    ?As we move towards the southeastern hinterland of Willen, the population density becomes less and less, while the various sounds in the surrounding mountains and dense forests become more and more numerous.


    ??Not far away on Balder Mountain, the ancient and huge oak tree still has lush branches and leaves.


    ??The road leading to the High Hill Castle where the Knights of Ember 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 unable to withstand it.


    "Tsk" Lan En tilted his head and looked down, raising his eyebrows, "You guys are not building military-grade roads, are you?"


    ?But considering the atmosphere he usually brings to the knights under his command, it doesn''t seem 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, dismounted from 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.”
