Lan returned to his room, smelling of alcohol and tired. The young servant Hardy came forward and handed him more comfortable casual clothes. The court dress had made Lan uncomfortable for the whole day.

The old butler at the side excitedly stepped forward and handed over a map with an area near the Sintra border circled on it.

"Master, look, this is 'Blochiron', our new territory!"

Lan came forward to take a closer look. The place was not big. After all, there were too many nobles in Cintra. This was probably what was left by someone. But it was his territory anyway.

"I don't understand this stuff, Ens. What are we going to do after this, take our stuff and run Brokilon?"

The old butler was stunned. "If you are willing, young master, Brokilon has a mayor and tax collector appointed by the kingdom. After becoming our territory, the taxes here will be paid to us after being collected every quarter. If you are not satisfied with them, you can dismiss them and replace them with our people..."

"No need to bother." Lann waved his hand, "So we can still stay in the capital, right?"

"Of course, you are a noble of the palace, and a member of the royal family. No one can drive you away except the queen."

"Then stay here for now. How is the matter I told you to do?"

Ens took out a notebook from his bosom and reported while flipping through it: "Your servants have been selected. There are ten of them in total, and they are all good guys. The collection of magic props is a bit difficult, mainly because of the price."

"Gather as much as you can. Is there anyone you've already bought?"

"Yes, I'll bring it to you later." The old butler paused and said, "Master, I have no intention of interfering with your hobbies, but please remember - playing with things will ruin your ambition."

Lann smiled and replied, "I know."

Then he turned around and threw the dress to Hadi: "Ask my servants to wait for me at the training ground tomorrow morning, and then prepare the bath water. It's enough to have Hadi here, you should rest early."

The servants and the butler bowed and left. Lan opened the window and let the cold wind blow over his head to make him more awake.

There was a small mechanical box on the desk in the bedroom. Lan opened it and found a seal with a lion's head, several medals, and a black leather book bound with thread.

I took out the book and opened it. I saw that it was full of square Chinese characters, and there were a lot of sticky notes in the interlayer of each page. If this was a study notebook, then its owner must be an extremely studious person.

The first page of the book suddenly reads in Chinese characters:

1. Save Sintra

[2. Become stronger]

【3. Development of Territory】

【Four. Major Events】

Lann was a man with a strong desire for planning. When he knew he had traveled through time, the first thing he did was to familiarize himself with himself, and then he found this notebook and started making plans.

How to survive, how to become stronger, what crises might occur in the future, and which major events might become opportunities for him. He wrote everything down in this small notebook.

No one in this world can understand Chinese characters except him.

Lann pinched the label with "Major Event" on the notebook and turned to the back. On the page it read: Ciri escaped from her marriage and met the protagonist of the original novel for the first time.

The next column reads: Nilfgaard Invasion.

Go down to the next column: Sintra is destroyed.

Cardiac arrest.

Lann couldn't remember the exact time when some events in the original novel took place, so he could only try to sort out the timeline by arranging the major events in the plot.

However, the timeline of the first two books of the original novel is messy, it is a collection of short films only…

Now that Ciri has been granted marriage, this means that Nilfgaard's invasion has taken another step forward.

Lann pondered for a while, then returned to the previous section on "Saving Cintra", where he saw a list of things:

【1. Seek allies through alliances. 】

2. Technology Enhances Sintra

【3. Institutional Reform Sintra】

[4. Preserve your strength and wait for a comeback]

Lann took a deep breath and crossed out the first three items at once. Most of the kings and queens in the original novel were brain-dead and could not see the situation clearly. If they wanted to learn from the diplomats of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and explain the pros and cons to them, they might as well go directly to the King of Nilfgaard and talk to him about "universal love and non-aggression".

As for the second and third points, as for the technological power, Lan En is not a science and engineering student; as for the system reform, Lan En is not a liberal arts student...

Moreover, given the current urgent situation, it is a pipe dream to think that Cintra can be strengthened within a few years to the point where it can withstand Nilfgaard, which has swept across the entire northern countries. It is like helping the black uncles in Africa during the colonial period to counterattack Britain.

When Lann first arrived in this world, he also tried to persuade everyone to warn Nilfgaard, but people ignored him. Most people regarded this as a young man who had just lost his parents in the war and was angry at the enemy country.

As a result, during this precious year, Lan had almost no influence on Cintra, and all he could do was to familiarize himself with his identity and improve his strength.

It is impossible to save Sintra from the root at this time. All we can do is to preserve the fire of Sintra as much as possible.

Hoping that the earldom and the reputation of the tournament champion he had just obtained would be of some help to him, Lan dipped his ink and wrote:

[Establish your own personal guards, and rescue those around you and as many people as possible when the country is destroyed. ]

Below is a list.

【Ciri, Ens, Hardy, Calanthe】

After thinking about it, he wrote:

【Development Territory】

[Make friends with demon hunters and warlocks]

Lann thought about it and realized there was nothing new to add, so he turned to the pages on "Becoming Stronger".

【Go to the battlefield and level up by killing enemies. 】

【Accept the task and upgrade.】

[Verify whether magic items can replace the 'magic place' and gain skill points. ]

[Become a demon hunter and unlock all skill bars. ]

These were the ideas that Lann had written down before for becoming stronger. At that time, the first one was still too dangerous. His combat power had not even reached the ceiling of ordinary people, and his personal strength was too small on the battlefield and he was prone to sudden death, so it was put on hold for the time being.

Now he should take on as many quests as possible to level up and gain skill points. This also made Lann travel almost all over the capital of Cintra and the surrounding villages, big and small, to help others take on commissions, but in the end he only barely reached level 10.

Upgrading in reality is still much slower than in the game.

As for the place of magic, it is a special building in the original game that allows the protagonist to absorb magic to temporarily obtain a buff and gain an extra skill point. I don't know if there is such a thing in the real world, but if it is "absorbing magic", I wonder if other things containing magic can replace it?

Since the system is not fully liberated now, Lann has actually thought about other ways to become stronger, such as becoming a warlock. The magic profession is a standard in the fantasy world, and the magician is decent. Most of the big countries in this world will hire warlocks as royal advisors to participate in politics, and their status is also high.

Unfortunately, the training of a warlock requires a long period of time, and a warlock who is less than a hundred years old can even be evaluated as "young".

Lann estimated that if he chose to become a warlock, by the time his power system was formed, the main quest would have been completed.

The greater possibility is that I will not live to see that time. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

Secondly, by looking at your surname and attribute plate, you can know your bloodline - [Ancient Blood]! You are also a male heir who theoretically cannot awaken bloodline abilities!

You know, the one who is most interested in the ancient blood is the warlock. Go to the warlock's base camp to be an apprentice? It's still kind to capture yourself for breeding. Some ruthless people would even think of capturing you to draw blood for others to replace their blood. You'd lose your life!

The experimental equipment that the warlocks prepared for Ciri in the original book was terrifying enough just by reading the text descriptions, and Lann didn't want to try it himself.

On the surface, I looked glamorous, a member of the royal family of a military power, and I inherited a powerful bloodline. But these titles were either completely useless or would be shattered within two years. Even if I managed to survive the war of annihilation, the road ahead would be extremely bumpy.

I must rely on the system to make myself stronger as quickly as possible within a year. Survival is more important than anything else.

Lann sorted out his thoughts again and again in the light of the night, and only came back to his senses when Hardy knocked on the door to remind him to take a shower.

Time is running out.
