"Your Majesty Lan."

The three Nilfgaardian vampires and Dettlaff were still looking at Lan with scrutiny, but Orianna took the lead and gave Lan an elegant court salute.

Lann smiled slightly. He knew that the so-called secular class was meaningless among high-level vampires, so he was prepared for the reactions of the other people.

Although Orianna looks polite, she is no less thoughtful than others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to have kept you waiting." Lann nodded slightly to the vampires.

Dettlaff took the lead and stepped forward to introduce several vampires present to Lan.

In fact, Lan was quite familiar with Dettlaff and Orianna, but was quite unfamiliar with the three vampires from Nilfgaard.

However, with him as a bridge, everyone finally got to know each other formally, and it was also convenient to start the next topic.

"Good things are always worth looking forward to." Philippa smiled and performed the Nilfgaard etiquette towards Lann, "And we have been waiting for a long time, the Lion of Cintra."

There was a sofa prepared for the two new members in the room. Lann sat down leisurely. From this direction he could just about catch the eyes of everyone in the room.

Regis frowned slightly. The atmosphere was not right, and he felt that things were not going to go well.

"I want to know how Regis introduced me to you, and what do you think?" Lann chuckled, "Although I have some reputation in the secular world, we all know that when we reach a higher level, titles and the like are not important. Therefore, I still respect the opinions of everyone here."

Orianna and the three Nilfgaard vampires all smiled and said nothing.

Regis scratched his head and was about to explain when Dettlaff finally spoke up to help him ease the embarrassment.

"Regis told us about your identity, the power you carry, and the mission you shoulder." Dettlaff crossed his arms in the darkness. "He recalled with us the scene of the intersection of the celestial spheres and the threat of the white frost. He believed that if we want to survive the next disaster, joining your camp is the best choice."

"What he said does make sense, which is why we have this meeting today."

Lan nodded slightly to Regis, then said, "Regis explained the pros and cons to you, but like I said - I respect you very much, and forcing you to join for the sake of survival is not what I want to do. So if you have any requests, I will not hesitate to meet them."

"For example, you, Dettlaff." Lann smiled, "I think I have done you a 'small favor'?"

Dettlaff paused for a long time before he sighed in a bitter tone.

"Siana..."

…

This name represents a top-notch femme fatale.

Sianna is the biological sister of Duchess Anna, the current ruler of Toussaint. However, when she was born, she happened to encounter a rare astronomical phenomenon of total solar eclipse. Therefore, she was believed to have suffered the "Black Sun Curse", which led to her tragic fate.

It is difficult for anyone to verify whether the so-called "Black Sun" is a "curse", but in this era, more than one princess has suffered misfortune because of the "Black Sun Curse": Geralt was once forced to kill a Black Sun Princess, and Eskar, who is also a member of the Wolf Faction, also has a Black Sun Princess as his destined child.

The former was a princess who was raped in her own country, and was driven out of the country and eventually became a female killer; the latter had a similar experience, although players can have different endings, most of which are sad.

These Black Sun Princesses almost all ended up becoming female killers and demons who brought disaster to their neighbors. But it is hard to say whether it was the Black Sun that cursed them or people who cursed them because of the Black Sun.

Sianna's experience is not much different from the above two, so she had to leave her hometown with the so-called curse, and then met the high-level vampire Dettlaff.

After realizing the true identity of the "person" in front of her, Sianna used means to make Dettlaff fall in love with her and obey her.

If it were the original timeline, Sienna would later pretend to be kidnapped, and act as a kidnapper to threaten Dettlaff to help her take revenge on Toussaint, committing many murders.

When Dettlaff discovered the truth, he almost massacred the entire Toussaint.

Now all this has not happened yet, and Sianna's plan is still only in her mind. When Regis came to talk to Dettlaff, Dettlaff used magic and potions to make Sianna reveal the truth.

An honest person can break through great defenses.

"How do you know this, His Majesty the Ancient... Lann?" Dettlaff asked sullenly.

"You can understand this as one of the powers of the ancient blood." Lann restrained his smile and said seriously, "Powerful power will always attract covetousness. I understand this deeply, and I feel the same way about you."

"And my current identity makes it easier for me to handle some things than yours. After you join my camp, whether you plan to give Sienna a fair and open punishment, or to strip her of all her other identities and make her your exclusive lover, or to turn her back into the 'real Sienna' you love..."

Lann's voice was low: "I can help you do it, as long as you are willing."

The vampire's ears rang with the devil's whispering.

Dettlaff lowered his head. "I... need to think about it."

It's stable.

"Of course, we are quite patient."

Lann smiled slightly and turned to look at the others.

"How about you guys?"

Orianna smiled and said, "As you know, I have an orphanage."

Lann restrained his smile again: "This kind of thing is not allowed here. You can continue to run the orphanage, but you can't take anything from them anymore."

Lann hesitated for a moment. "But now Cintra has begun to build a medical system. Doctors and warlocks have set up blood reserves for emergencies. I can allocate a portion of the quota to meet your daily needs - the same applies to the others."

Orianna listened carefully, then raised her wine glass to cover her red lips: "I like children, and I like blood. It's best if they can be satisfied together, but it doesn't matter if they are separated. But-"

The red-haired female vampire pointed to the last three people and said, "—I still want to hear their opinions."

As expected, the most polite person is not necessarily the most supportive of oneself. Instead, Dettlaff, who has been silent all the time, has already set foot in Cintra.

Lan nodded slightly, then turned and looked in the direction of Philippa's family.

Their expressions had already become dull.

"Excuse me, son of the ancient bloodline." Philippa shook his head, "We are very satisfied in Nilfgaard, and the conditions you just offered to Orianna and the others are unlikely to attract us."

Lann's expression remained unchanged: "So what do you hope for?"

Philippa's eyes were gradually stained with red: "Slaves, banquets, endless blood."

Lann shook his head regretfully: "That's a shame. There are no slaves in Cintra, and I can't let you harm my citizens in other ways."

"Look, so I said..." Philippa and her two companions shook their heads regretfully.

They are doomed to fail to reach an agreement as they refuse to give in.

But they, who had been impatient before Lann came, were still sitting firmly in their chairs.

There is no intention of leaving at all.

Regis frowned and scanned the pupils, nails, and sweat hairs of the three vampires.

His face turned cold and he slowly moved forward to stand in front of Lann.

"If you can't meet these conditions, we have a new one," Philippa said suddenly.

Lan nodded in praise: "I can see that you are quite good at negotiation - what are the conditions?"

"Regis is right. The Blood of the Ancients is indeed the most powerful support when facing the Confluence of the Celestial Spheres and the White Frost."

"But each of our races has different special abilities. Mine happens to be able to draw some strength from food. So..."

Philippa and her two companions took a deep breath, no longer able to restrain the sharp teeth that had broken their lips.

"We want to taste the ancient blood!"

Before he finished his words, the three Nilfgaardian vampires transformed into three huge, hunchbacked human-shaped bats at the same time. They moved from extreme stillness to black shadows like three sharp arrows and shot towards Lann.

This is a speed that the naked eye cannot discern at all, and ordinary people cannot even see a shadow.

At such a close distance, a high-level vampire can even tear the opponent's body apart with his sharp claws before the opponent's pupils shrink!

But Regis reacted without a doubt.

He was extremely angry because it was he who presided over the negotiations between his compatriots and Lan, and it was he who brought Lan into the current danger.

Regis knew that he couldn't stop three people at once, so he went a step further and completely transformed into a bat, spreading his wings and resolutely blocking Lann -

Anyway, even if he was torn to pieces, he would not die, and he believed that Lann could definitely turn defeat into victory if he seized the opportunity.

Next second.

With a "bang", Regis suddenly saw a golden protective shield appear in front of him like the sun.

It appeared much faster than Regis.

Just as the barber was about to spread his wings due to muscle inertia, the protective shield began to expand rapidly.

Like a high wall with its own consciousness, visible shock waves began to appear as it rapidly expanded, and it crushed the oncoming three-headed vampire with unparalleled momentum!

With a loud bang, the three vampires flew backwards at a speed even faster than when they rushed over. The force they wanted to attack Lann was reflected back to their bodies without any reduction. Their torsos began to collapse and spurt blood while still in mid-air.

However, before they landed, a purple magic circle quietly rose from the ground.

The body in the air seemed to be forgotten by time at this moment, moving slowly in the air like a confused fish.

Regis was stunned for a moment. He looked back at Lan, then walked slowly forward curiously to observe the three vampires still floating in the air.

Regis moved at a leisurely pace, and the three vampires never landed.

After several years, Lann's skills have changed a lot. He has already invested a lot of skill points in those skills that he didn't open because he thought they were not very profitable.

The effect is also amazing.

Orianna and Dettlaff swallowed their saliva together and looked at their compatriot frozen in mid-air in horror.

Is this the power of the ancient blood? I only knew that the bearer of this bloodline could travel through time and space, but who knew that it would behave so abnormally in battle?

Aren’t those three guys just floating in the air forever?

Only now did Lan slowly stand up from his chair. He first gave Dettlaff and Orianna a friendly smile, then walked to the three vampires with his hands behind his back.

He looked at them as if he were admiring goldfish in a tank.

"You also want the power of the Ancient Blood?"

He smiled and said, "Just tell me earlier, I can give it to you."

Having said this, Lann opened the system and spent three skill points to open a new [Follower] panel.

"But..." Lann showed a distressed expression, "This requires your cooperation, and it seems to be difficult at the moment."

"So I have to let you three inconveniences come first."

Dettlaff and Oriana on the side didn't know what Lann meant, but the next second, they suddenly felt a bright light passing by them.

They looked down and saw a bright lightning emitting terrifying fluctuations, but it cleverly emerged from an hourglass-shaped rune, bypassed their bodies, and then poured onto the three Nilfgaard vampires.

Dettlaff and Oriana only felt a gust of wind passing by them, and the lightning seemed to have no power except for the dazzling light. But when the lightning struck the vampire, they saw the terrifying heat and flames burst out at the same time.

Then, the three vampires began to scream extremely slowly and sluggishly, and every tone was clearly audible.

"My original plan was to use Igni to press them directly against the wall and burn them into glass. That would be more convenient." Lann crossed his arms and said to Regis beside him, "But after all, we are in someone else's house, and I still don't want to destroy the furnishings."

Regis felt a slight chill.

"But now you believe that I can protect you from the Shadow Elder, right?"

Regis narrowed his eyes. The lightning in front of his eyes did not stop for a moment, making his vision begin to turn white.

These are not lightning, because they don't "flash" at all, they never stop!

Regis nodded slowly, confirming Lann's question.

"You...are still going to look for the Shadow Elder?"

A hesitant voice came from behind. It was Dettlaff.

Lane looked back at the mature vampire.

Lann moved away from his original position, and the lightning that filled every bit of space around him seemed to consciously bypass his body.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the end point where the lightning bolts stuck tightly to the three vampires, and the damage never stopped.

"Yes, the Shadow Elder is a powerful being who is worth winning over, and he is someone I must fight for." Lann nodded.

"As for you, have you thought about it?"
