From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 56 Wow, Golden Legend
"Warriors like Levin Bright who have fought alongside us." Asna gave an example.

It is much easier to understand with an example as a template. Lane thought about it and asked concerned: "Speaking of which, how is Levin's injury?"

"He's going to be fine, but it's going to be a while."

Lane nodded, heaving a sigh of relief.He intends to train Levin as the next mayor, and he will be an important bridge between Brokilon Town and Brokiron Forest in the future.

In addition, there are other exchanges of forest resources and human creations, and the two sides exchange what they have.Lane and Eisna basically confirmed their intentions in this regard, and planned to let Levin, a local, negotiate.

Ellie, who was listening on the sidelines, suddenly asked: "If... there is something we want but the other party is unwilling to give up, how should we get it?"

Lan En asked curiously, "Can you tell me what it is?"

Ellie hesitated for a while, then shook her head: "No."

Lan En thought for a while and replied, "Then maybe...you can add money and try."

The tree spirits really have a lot of stored currency, copper coins, krona, and even marks.When they usually shoot and kill intruders, some dryads would take away the coins as if they were collecting souvenirs, but this time they were confiscated by Esna after they knew they would trade with humans.

After discussing these items, there will be no other questions. Lan and Eisina will each sign the revised agreement in duplicate, and each party will keep one copy.

Lan En solemnly shook hands with Esna, and Esna also rarely showed a smile like a breeze in the forest at this moment.

Lan En suddenly suggested: "I think, at this time, should we drink a glass of Brokiron's water to celebrate?"

Ellie on the side raised her eyebrows, looked at Esna, and said in the nod of the other party's smile: "We did bring some drinks for celebration..."

At this moment, Dunka suddenly appeared from the forest. She ran to Esna, reported to the queen softly, and glanced at Lane at the same time.

Dunka's voice was very low, but Lan's hearing had already surpassed that of ordinary people.

Vaguely, he heard a few words.

"Trap" "Catch" "Poacher"...

Esna nodded, seeing Lan En's gaze deliberately turned away, and invited:

"Dunka found a human being while patrolling. Do you and Gwinblad want to come and have a look?"

Lan En and Bai Lang looked at each other, and he saw a trace of solemnity on the other's face.

"Very happy."

Dunka's range of patrols is not very large, and he doesn't even need to ride a horse on the way to the trap.

When everyone arrived, they saw a girl dressed as a hunter hanging from a tree and shaking slightly, as if she had tried her best to break free.

But what she stepped on was, after all, the lasso trap set by the dryad, which Brokiron had continuously improved and used to deal with intruders for a hundred years.Even though the girl was exhausted at this time, it was obvious that her efforts were in vain.

There was a homemade short bow and some rough arrows under the hanging tree. It was obvious that she had no resistance at the moment when she was caught in the trap.

When he heard the footsteps of the crowd, the hunter seemed to sense his own destiny.She didn't panic or scream, but Geralt could feel that the girl's momentum and feeling had changed.

It seemed that what was in front of him was not a girl who had fallen into a trap by mistake, but a young female beast.

Seeing everyone approaching, Brian got out of the bushes beside her, her arrow was on the string, walked to Eisina and said softly:
"Poachers."

The appearance of Bryan made the girl scream. She had never noticed in the grass for so long that there was a dryad with a bow and an arrow pointing at her heart all the time.

Lan En looked at the girl hanging upside down in front of him by the moonlight. She was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Small and small small scars caused by stones, branches, wild animals.

"Another child." Lan heard the witcher sigh.

Dunka stepped forward and said to Esna: "Ma'am, according to tradition..."

Esna glanced at Lane and said, "According to tradition, young girls who break into the forest will join us. But according to the new agreement, 'some girls' will not."

The dryads did not move under Eisna's gesture.

The Dryad Queen made an inviting gesture to Lan in the girl's direction.

Lann drew her sword and stepped forward. The huntress thought she was about to be executed, and opened her mouth to bite him like a female leopard. Lann dodged it sideways, and slapped her backside like a pendulum, making her dizzy.

The sword flashed, the vines were cut, and Lan grabbed the captive's lapel to prevent her from hitting the ground and hurting her neck.

Lan En asked in a deep voice: "Ma'am, what's your name and where are you from?"

The huntress was put on the ground in a daze, and her eyes flicked around, only to realize that it was a human knight instead of a dryad who was grabbing her.

Her eyes peered up the reflective metal gauntlets, to the longsword, then to the breastplate, and finally to the angular and shadowed face in the moonlight.

The huntress couldn't help watching for a few more breaths, and then forcibly suppressed herself with life-and-death rationality to move her gaze down, and saw the ferocious roaring lion printed on the breastplate.

lion?In Brokilon ?

The huntress suddenly recalled some rumors she heard when she was poaching in the royal forest farms of Soden and Sintra, and remembered some rumors she occasionally heard in nearby towns in recent days.

"Lord, my lord." The huntress stammered, "I am the Orion of Brokilon Town, I... My name is Mirva Ballinger. Help, help!"

Lan raised his eyebrows. He was surprised by the girl's answer, and at the same time he heard Geralt's long sigh of relief behind him.

So the lord patted his face to control his expression, turned to Ms. Eisina and said:

"Ms. Essina..."

Without waiting for him to continue, Esna took the initiative to say: "Since she is the Lord Earl's territory, and this place is also within the range of activities we have assigned to the territory, then the Earl will take her away."

"That was an agreement sworn in the name of the oak tree, and it came into force the moment I signed it. This is the girl's destiny to make for her."

Lan could see in the Dryad Queen's eyes that she already knew she knew the truth, and she certainly knew she could know that she knew she knew the truth.

And in this case, the kindness made along the water seems to be expressing the goodwill of the dryads.

Lann was relieved and thanked the Dryad Queen.

"Then placate your subjects, Lannister. Then I have some personal matters to discuss with you."
