After absorbing the heirloom necklace of the Tursek family and gaining four skill points, Lann used one of the skill points to open the blank follower panel without hesitation, and placed his left hand on Svanrigi's forehead in the expectant eyes of everyone.

The follower's contract did not have any light and shadow effects, and therefore, every inch of change in Svanreji's body was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

First, a blush suddenly appeared on his pale face, and then he quickly regained vitality like young grass moistened by spring rain. His powerful breathing began to cause his body to tremble, his strong heartbeat began to shake the ups and downs of his chest, and even his skin, which had been dry from not eating for a long time, began to tighten slightly as if it was inflated.

At this moment, Svanreji gave people the feeling of a dozing soldier or a student who was taking a temporary rest. As long as someone shook him slightly to wake him up, he could get up at any time and engage in battle or study again.

King Bran stretched out his left hand, but he didn't dare to touch his son as if he was facing a piece of porcelain. Fortunately, Svanrej's eyelids began to tremble violently, and then he opened his eyes.

"Father?"

The future heir of the Tuersek family looked around in confusion: "Is my mother okay? Has the chaos subsided? Did... the druid master save me?"

Looking at King Bran who was hugging his son excitedly, and Svanregi who was being hugged so excitedly that he was overwhelmed, Lann took a step back and gave the space to the father and son.

Then he began to carefully examine Svanregi's system panel.

Logically speaking, he was completely willing to spend a skill point to rescue Svanreji; and from a practical point of view, Svanreji was definitely worth Lan's spending of this skill point.

In the original novel and the game, Easter died when Cintra was destroyed, and after King Bran's death, the archipelago began a fierce competition for the successor. Players can choose the heir they support and support him to take the throne, which will eventually lead to different endings.

Svanregi was naturally one of the heirs to the throne at that time.

Before becoming king, Svanrigg had always been a mama's boy, and could even be said to be a puppet of his mother Birna. But when he inherited the throne, the outcome was unexpected: after becoming king, Svanrigg immediately disobeyed Birna, tore up the unequal treaty with Nilfgaard that Birna asked him to sign, and then brazenly launched a war against the Black Sun Empire, washing away the shame of almost surrendering with the blood of the enemy, and shutting up all those who questioned him.

In general, this is a "sleeping" iron-fisted leader. Judging from the excellent king matching mechanism in the North, Svanregi is a rare wise ruler in this era. However, no one has seen his edge yet, and he has never shown it.

Although it is now certain that the King of Skellige will be succeeded by Easter, it would be a good idea to let Svanregi inherit the throne after Easter - of course, this needs to be discussed later, and there are many young people who have good relations between the Islands and Lann.

Even if he doesn't inherit the throne, Svanrej can still bring great help to Lann by inheriting the position of Tursek Patriarch in the future. This is Lann's first follower of the leader level of the power contract. If he can use his power to start completing system tasks like Lann did in Cintra, and then share these task rewards with Lann through the system effect of [Follower]...

Just thinking about it is beautiful enough.

Wait, if you look at it this way, if Lann contracts a [Follower], the best choice is actually to find the leaders of various forces?

On the other side, the druid looked at Svanrige who had come back to life in disbelief, and for the first time he questioned the healing spells of his own system.

He turned around and looked at Lan, thought about it, and couldn't help but decide to go up and talk to him.

The druid mistakenly thought that Lann was staring at Tuersek's heirloom necklace when he looked at the system panel, so he took the initiative to explain:

"The Tursek family was founded by Hemdor's son Tyr. Legend has it that when he decided to settle on the island of Little Skellige, he had to hunt a giant bear as big as a mountain. Everyone thought Tyr was doomed, but he then forged a magic weapon with the fire of the earth's core. His mother, the goddess Helin, attached the morning light to his body in the form of runes as a protection, and finally allowed Tyr to kill the giant bear."

"Rune? Guardian?" Lan En was really attracted by this topic. He looked at the necklace in his hand. "So this is the treasure that the goddess Helin used to protect her son from being harmed by the giant bear?"

The druid nodded. "I just don't know whether the great war exhausted the power of the necklace, or whether the descendants have never been able to find a way to activate the runes, so that the necklace has never been able to show the glory of the myth."

"But now it protects its descendants and brings Svanregi back to life. Perhaps this is the protection that the ancestors give to their descendants."

Lann showed an expression of learning, and greeted the druid as a junior: "The culture of Skellige is fascinating, and I admire your profound knowledge. I am Lann of Cintra, Lann Lannister Rhaanron, who are you?"

"Fetov, an old man who often passively accepts Mossak's praise of you." The druid named Fetov said humorously, watching with satisfaction the perfect embarrassment on Lann's face.

"But now it seems that Mossak's praise of you is even a little conservative. Although there are various restrictions, your power is a subversion of the entire system of healing magic. To be frank, I even think that even if the goddess Freya performed a miracle, she could not do what you just did."

Lan En didn't dare to respond to this.

They were leaving the wooden house while chatting, and Fetov even waved his hand to his apprentices to come out and give the space to the father and son inside.

Just as Fetov was about to say something else, another druid suddenly ran over from a distance, and his appearance was also familiar to Lan.

It was Graysmith who was responsible for receiving Lann at the beginning and promised to find information about the fallen druid for him.

"Fetov, I've been looking for you everywhere." He greeted and turned his head, "Lan En is here too?"

The young man with lion eyes nodded towards Graysmith.

Graysmith began to explain his purpose: "Lane, you know, there is a traitor among our druids. If you want to know the other party's identity, you still need an old fellow with sufficient qualifications."

"And Fetov is such a senior fellow. Almost every druid in the Oak Ring over the years has come into contact with him. He is even a celestial being who can control the weather!"

"You seem to be praising me, but your choice of words offends me." Fetov shook his head, as if he had long been accustomed to his companion's behavior. "Fortunately, Svanreji's injury has healed now, otherwise I would not have the time to listen to your distressing words."

Unexpectedly, Graysmith's focus was immediately diverted. He screamed, "What did you say? The little guy's injury is healed? Impossible! Have you researched some new herbs or some new magic? Let's have a good discussion. I can trade my latest achievements with you!"

At this point, Greysmith glanced around and immediately caught Lann: "Little Lion, return my notebook to me first, and I will copy a new one for you later - Fetov, this is my latest achievement, tell me how you cured the little guy from the Tursek family!"

Fetov shook his head again and waved his hand to draw his companions' attention back: "I wasn't the one who cured Svanregi - wait, don't barge in! That's so rude!"

The Sky-God grabbed his reckless companion and reminded him to calm down. "Bran and Easter are also in there. Now is the time for the injured to communicate with their relatives... First, tell me why you came to see me. Although you are a reckless person at ordinary times, you came to see me when you knew I was busy. It must be something urgent."

Graysmith kept looking into the cabin, obviously thinking that what was happening inside was the "important" thing now.

However, under Fetov's repeated urging, he finally patted his head and said:

"This is also related to Lann. He just came back from the base camp of the Vilk people with Easter and brought us news - there was a traitor in the Oak Ring. He joined the Svalblod sect and kidnapped the three of us apprentices who were thought to have met with accidents during training outside. Fortunately, they were rescued by Lann this time. You have a lot of experience, I think you should know the identity of the traitor..."

He didn't finish his words.

This time it was Fetov who screamed and interrupted Graysmith: "What did you say? Lann rescued three apprentices!"

In a small hut that had been renovated to heal the three druid apprentices, Fetov looked at the injured who were sleeping soundly, his face full of disappointment.

The three young men who were almost killed in the blood sacrifice looked extremely pale due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, Graysmith was outstanding in the two subjects of treatment and herbal medicine, and managed to stabilize their condition.

At the same time, other druids who heard the news rushed over. As mentors, they paid special attention to the rescued apprentices and even formed a temporary exchange meeting to study how to restore the three apprentices to their original state in the most efficient way and without any sequelae.

So what made Fetov look disappointed was not the physical condition of the three apprentices, but the fact that he did not find what he was looking for among them.

Graysmith explained to Lann: "Not long ago, Fetov's apprentice went to the Moskogen Forest to look for a rare herb, but never came back. Fetov has always blamed himself because the apprentice went there for his experiment..."

"Fetov searched the forest for a long time but found nothing. He was depressed and even planned to stop his research and leave the sad place of Oak Ring. It was not until Svanregi was brought here by the Tursek family that he stayed for a while to treat the wounded."

Fetov thought his apprentice was among the three rescued by Lann, and came here with great expectations. But at this moment, his mood fluctuated greatly, and there was only sadness on his face.

But he was a long-lived and powerful druid after all, and he quickly adjusted his mentality - at least on the surface he no longer showed any worrying grief.

“I just still have a little hope in my heart… But who knows, maybe the fallen druid has more apprentices, or there are other apprentices who have not been rescued yet…”

At this point, Fetov's eyes darkened, and then he said: "According to your description, Lan, I can only think of one person - Atis."

"He is a young man who was brought back to the Ring of Oak as an orphan."

"He is very sensitive to natural energy and has a high talent, but he is particularly interested in the combat skills of the archipelago and likes to wield swords and clubs. We didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, our apprentices always have to learn one or two martial arts before they set out on their journey. Learning martial arts alone is not enough to deal with danger."

"Later, Attis began to show a strong interest in monster taming and even biological transformation projects. His research became extreme and contrary to the balance of nature, which was reprimanded by his mentor."

"The last time I heard from him, he was about to start a project to recreate the Berserkers of Velka. For this purpose, he went alone to the ruins of Fulhala Village, hoping to learn more secrets of the cult, and never returned."

Fetov sighed, "He was less than 80 years old when he disappeared, very young. We always thought he had died accidentally, but judging from the current situation, it seems that there are some other hidden secrets."

Fetov then added, "Artis's mentor was my former research partner. He has been blaming himself for his own teaching methods because of his apprentice's disappearance, thinking it was his own fault. He should be living in seclusion on Udvik Island now, occasionally serving as a consultant to the Todaloch family. I will go to him to learn more about Artis."

“Even if my guess is wrong and the fallen traitor is not Atis, Atis’ disappearance is definitely related to that traitor. We can also gain another partner who wants to explore the mystery of the apprentice’s disappearance.”

When the topic of the missing apprentice came up, even though Fetov tried his best to hide his emotions and not disturb others, his face still revealed an unconcealable sadness.

Lan thanked him solemnly: "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Fetov."

He then assured, "I'm deeply sorry about what happened to your apprentice. I'll ask Kratz to send someone to help look for him. I also have quite a few fellow demon hunters who are proficient in search and rescue, and I hope they can find some clues."

"Even if... we can't find him, we can still find a way to let him pass away with dignity, while also preventing those who hurt him from living in peace."

Fetov hesitated to speak to Lan, as if he didn't want him to waste any more effort. But in the end, he sighed and made a thoughtful request.

Before Fetov left to find Artis's mentor, he visited Svanrigi's cabin.

Although Svanreji has fully recovered with the help of Lane, out of a serious and responsible attitude, he still plans to give Svanreji one last check-up.

Lan followed Fetov back, and when they opened the door, they saw Kratz reporting something to King Bran, with Easter sitting beside him and adding some supplements from time to time.

These topics are the twists and turns that Easter has encountered along the way, including the changes in the Dimen family, the Drummond family, and the Svalblod sect.

Apparently, now that his son was out of danger and fully recovered, King Bran returned to his mission of supporting his brother in dethroning him.

Svanrej sat beside King Bran, observing his father's words and actions attentively, as if he was learning.

When Lane and Fetov came in, they attracted everyone's attention.

The most ardent beam among them belonged to Svanreji. Lan even felt that the way Svanreji looked at him at this moment was no different from the way he looked at King Bran.

Although he had contracted so many followers, Lan had also experienced all kinds of looks, some even more exaggerated than the one he was facing now. But when this kind of look came from someone of Svanregi's status and kinship, Lan still felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, King Bran immediately stood up to block Svanregi's sight. The excited father opened his arms and gave Lann a bear hug. From the force with which he slapped Lann on the back, one could feel the turmoil in his heart at the moment.

"Lane, if it weren't for you, I would have almost lost my only son!"

Lan looked at East, who was also excited and scared, and hugged King Bran with a smile: "We are family, aren't we?"

Fetov looked at the atmosphere in the room and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that everyone has something important to discuss. Do you want me to step aside for a moment?"

King Bran did not let the druid leave, but thanked Fetov solemnly. After listening to Lann's explanation that Fetov would help find the fallen druid, he expressed his gratitude again.

This was exactly one of the topics that King Bran had just discussed with Easter and Kratz: how to completely wipe out the Svalblod sect in a practical sense.

To accomplish this goal, the escaped Corrupted Druid must be dealt with.

However, King Bran and Kratz agreed that although this matter was important, there were still more important things that took priority.

"I plan to convene the leaders of the seven families again soon and begin preparations for Easter's coronation ceremony," said King Bran.
