As his level increased, his health also increased. Coupled with the physical fitness increased by the skill level, Lann's physique had already reached the peak of mortals and was gradually moving towards the inhuman level. He was one step closer to the day when he could arm wrestle with the trolls.

But at the same time, this almost map-clearing way of completing tasks also swept away all the tasks in Cintra. Although the reputation of Lannister spread again, it also slowed down Lann's upgrade speed again.

I have to think of another way to upgrade quickly, Lan thought.

At present, the least efficient way to gain experience is killing. After several demonstrations of killing bandits, one person can only provide single-digit experience. Unless you master efficient skills and go to the battlefield to show your invincibility, this cannot become the main way to gain experience.

Next is the trivial tasks of neighbors, such as catching thieves, solving crimes, etc., which are similar to the side quests in the game. It may take five or six tasks to level up.

Currently, the series of tasks that give the most experience are the previous [Martial Arts Tournament] and the current [Military Training], which are almost equivalent to the main tasks of the game. You can level up after completing each stage.

Lann actually had another hypothesis in his mind. If this system was really the same as in the game, there should be a "monster hunting mission" specifically for hunting monsters. The experience value would be between trivial side quests and main quests, which would also be a good way to level up. And the experience gained from hunting monsters would definitely be more than that gained from hunting people.

Unfortunately, even with Lann's current single-player combat power in Cintra, he doesn't have the confidence to go out alone to hunt demons in the wild. This is not a professional thing to do, just like asking an Olympic fencing champion to go to Africa to kill lions is ridiculous.

Bringing soldiers with you is not an option. Once or twice is fine, but Lann cannot afford the casualties caused by frequent demon hunting with soldiers. In the original novel, how many times did the official demon hunting fail, and finally the demon hunters had to appear? These are all lessons learned from experience. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Just as Lan En was thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion outside the military camp, and a blacksmith who seemed to have specially cleaned his clothes walked in, holding a slender sword case in his hand.

The blacksmith walked straight to Lann and bowed: "My Lord Earl, the sword you left with us to be recast is ready. I'll bring it to you."

Lan's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the sword box after sending his servant to give the blacksmith a reward. Inside was a slender rapier, but it was much shorter than an ordinary sword, just like a forearm. The hilt was finely carved, and the guard was forged into the shape of a swallow, dotted with crystals of different sizes.

This is really an exquisite sword, more like a ceremonial object than a weapon. But it is just right as a gift for a little girl.

"Bring Black Wind here and set off for the palace!" Lann happily ordered the servants.

At Lannister House, just as Lann was changing his clothes, Hardy came up to report.

"Master, Consultant Mossak is here to visit."

Before he finished speaking, Mossak's face appeared from the other side of the door. Lan found that the usual friendly smile disappeared without a trace, replaced by a dark cloud.

"Why did Uncle Mossak come to my place? Shouldn't you be teaching Ciri during the day?"

Mossak shook his head. "That's why I came to see you, Lan. Ciri hasn't been to class for five days. The Queen said she was sick."

Lann put down his hands that were tidying up his clothes. He felt that Mossak's expression was too serious. Something was wrong. "Then what? Your expression seems to indicate that you are facing something far more serious than 'Ciri is sick'."

Mossak nodded: "Ciri is not sick, but she is no longer in the castle."

Lan En wondered, “When did she leave?

That’s not right. The Queen lied that Ciri was sick, but her purpose was to hide Ciri’s departure from you—that’s the point of the problem, right?”

Mossak nodded. "Yes, you reacted quickly. The fact is - Ciri was secretly sent to the Kingdom of Weiden to meet his fiancé, Prince Christian."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the whole room dropped to freezing point.

Lan slammed the gift box in his hand heavily on the table. After so many explicit hints these days, he already understood why the people in the court always tried to prevent him and Ciri from meeting.

To be honest, Lann really has no idea about Ciri at this stage. A mature soul from the future cannot have such thoughts about a child under ten years old. Even if it is not against the law for Lann now, it is still immoral.

As for Ciri being sent to marry, Lann never cared about it. Because according to the inertia of the plot, this marriage would not be successful, and Ciri would be sent back safely after completing her first meeting with Geralt, and everyone would be happy.

However, Queen Calanthe's concealment and distrust in the process made Lann disgusted and even angry.

Lann, who knew the future, was like this, not to mention Mossak, who had watched Ciri grow up since childhood. He had already regarded Ciri as a junior. Now this lovely girl was secretly sent away for marriage without telling him, and the one who did it was this girl's grandmother. He didn't even seem to have the right to be angry.

And more serious things are yet to come.

"Calm down, Lann, the problems we have to face are far more than this." Mossak said, "What I am going to tell you next is the purpose of my coming to you today:

Just three days ago, when the marriage caravan arrived at Brokilon, Ciri escaped from the caravan and mistakenly entered the territory of the dryads. We went into the forest with the soldiers of Verden to look for Ciri, but no one, including Ciri and the soldiers, was ever heard from again. "

This is the plot of "Sword of Fate", nothing will happen. Lan En was about to speak to comfort Mossak when he thought of this, but he keenly found something wrong from the druid's mouth.

No, three days ago? Although most of the plot in his memory was already fuzzy, he clearly remembered that the entire "Sword of Fate" spanned only two days and one night. Geralt and Ciri had already left the Dryad Forest, and at the same time, they ran into Mossack who came to pick up Ciri.

Now, a day has passed, and there is still no news from the front. According to the original book, Mossack, who should have been in Brokilon a day ago, is discussing things at home.

What went wrong? Where did the whole plot go wrong?

After much thought, there is only one answer - that is Lan himself.
