Lann sighed inwardly.

Yes, before the Cintra Massacre, no one thought that Cintra would be defeated so badly, and in the end it ended up being destroyed, and all the country's land was ceded to Nilfgaard by the North, becoming a vassal of Nilfgaard. Calanthe did not expect it, the warlocks did not expect it, and the entire North did not expect it.

In response to Triss's intelligence, Mossak thanked her, "Anyway, Triss, thank you for bringing us this news."

"That's nothing." Triss smiled cheerfully. "Well, Lan, can you take me to your royal vault now?"

"Of course," Lane replied.

In the evening, after seeing Triss off, Lan absorbed the magic power from the magic statue.

[Skill Point +1]

The extra skill point was naturally added to [Precision Heavy Attack].

[Precision Heavy Attack]: Rapid attack critical hit chance increases by 10%, rapid attack critical hit damage increases by 75%. Adrenaline poison increases by +4%. (5/5)

[Precision Heavy Attack] reached the maximum level, and the physical strength was once again enhanced. This meant that Lann's basic skill in light attack could no longer be improved.

At the same time, after investing a full 20 skill points in the [Combat] skill, Lann will be able to unlock the third level of skills after the next upgrade or gaining skill points:

The [Whirling Sword Dance] enhanced by the system, or the [Rage Burst] that can ignore the enemy's defense!

By then, Lann's combat power will certainly no longer be the same.

I wonder if there is any source of magic in Thomas Moreau's laboratory, besides the research results on the secondary mutation of the witcher?

Lann took a deep breath, found the druid, and said, "Uncle Mossak, I think I'm ready. I'm ready to go to Toussaint!"

…

This time, Lann still assembled two teams of soldiers as an exploration team.

Because the target is Toussaint, it is a cross-border exploration, and he is leading fully armed soldiers and even knights. If he brings too many people, it will cause adverse effects.

Before Lann left, he specially asked Queen Calanthe for a document. The queen told Lann to visit the ruler of Toussaint first after arriving at his destination. Even if the other party would not support Lann's actions, at least they would not stop him after they had this relationship.

Otherwise, it is really hard to explain. In this continent where military development is extremely unbalanced, although there are military powers like Nilfgaard and Cintra that can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers to fight each other, there are still many small countries with little armed forces, and some are even at the level of "villagers fighting".

For example, Toussaint has no organized army at all. The border and road maintenance depends entirely on wandering knights, and the only ones with a little combat power are the royal guards in the capital.

In the future, this place was almost slaughtered by a high-level vampire and a group of his minions, and the survival of the kingdom had to be saved by Geralt alone.

The two elite teams that Lann brought with him were indeed a large-scale roving armed group going to Toussaint. As long as they didn't touch the capital, he could even consider attacking the city...

We will definitely be able to win it, and we will win battles one after another.

At this time, Mossak looked at the configuration that Lane had given to the two teams in amazement. They were literally armed to the teeth.

Not to mention the various weapons such as spearmen, axemen, hammermen, etc. that are specially equipped to deal with water ghosts, gargoyles, and golems, the armor they wear is also specially built and improved to deal with specific situations.

On top of that, they each carry an alchemical backpack strap, stuffed to the brim with Honeycomb Bombs, Dragon Dreams, and Dancing Stars.

Lann himself found a small amount of demon-suppressing gold and high-grade mercury solution in the royal treasury, and asked Geralt to make several demon-suppressing gold bombs and moon dust.

[Magic Repellent Bomb]: Releases a mist of magical repellent fragments that can block magic and monsters' magic skills. After the mist disappears, the blocking effect still exists for a short time.

[Moon Dust Bomb]: Contains silver filaments, and the dust formed after the explosion can prevent shapeshifting monsters from deforming or ghost-like monsters from becoming virtual.

Geralt expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, thinking it was too wasteful. If the materials are not used in time after being made into a bomb, the power of the bomb will gradually decrease over time until it becomes a dud.

Lane said: It’s better to be prepared.

However, since there was too little silicium and high-grade mercury, Lann did not let Geralt use up all the materials despite his strong dissuasion. Geralt and Lann himself were only equipped with three silicium bombs and moon dust each, while ordinary soldiers were not equipped with any.

"How is it, Uncle Mossack?"

The druid nodded. He could tell that Lann was indeed well prepared. And with Geralt by his side, he felt relieved.

Finally, after Mossak gave some more instructions as an elder, he opened the portal.

Geralt, with a grim look on his face, was dragged by Lann and the soldiers to Toussaint, and disappeared in front of Mossack in an instant.

Watching the group leave, Mossak put aside his worries for the time being, as he still had to teach Ciri today.

Coming to the room used as a classroom, Ciri followed her nanny to learn needlework, which was a compulsory course for ladies. But for Ciri, this was rare.

"Little princess, have you finally decided to become a lady? It's so rare to see you learning needlework."

The nanny bowed to Mossak and walked out. Ciri looked distressed and said to Mossak:

"I'm telling you, don't tell my grandmother: I heard that the great griffin was born from fire and is not afraid of flames and strong acids. I want to use his fur to make a cloak for Lann."

Mossak was surprised and said, "But the fur of the great griffin is with me."

Ciri said sullenly, "I'll beg you to give it to me."

Mossak nodded. "Okay, I'll give it to you when you're good at sewing. I still have to find you a good enough needle. Can you make me a griffin-skin cloak later?"

Ciri shook her head and said, "No, I heard House tell me that the big griffin and the griffin are mates, so I plan to keep the griffin to make a cape for myself."

Mossak was stunned: "Then...what about me?"

Xili said sullenly: "I will act like a spoiled child to you and make you happy. Then I will use other skins to sew you a new set of clothes."

Mossak touched Ciri's little head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay~ Then I'll wait for your gift. Take a rest, it seems that learning needlework is really too difficult for you."

The druid pinched Ciri's nose and found it funny that the little girl looked so worried.

Ciri shook her head and said, "I have learned almost everything. I am in a bad mood because of other reasons."

Having said this, Ciri hesitated for a moment, as if she was hesitating, or organizing her words.

"I...I had a nightmare last night. I've been having nightmares for a while now."
