Lan En sipped the wine happily and called out the system panel.

Mission: City Defense Iron Guard Part One]

The skill points obtained by upgrading from winning the championship in the martial arts tournament before were useless to Lane. The main reason is that the skill bar is not opened much now, and the skills Lane wants cannot be opened.

What Lann wanted most was the skills related to [Fatal Seal], but now the whole block is gray.

Among the [combat] skills, most of the skills are gray.

The skill panel of "The Witcher 3" is divided into four levels. Only when the corresponding skill points of the previous level are enough, can the skills of the next level be opened.

而每一个等级需要的技能点分别是8/20/30。也就是在一级技能花费了8个技能点才能开启二级技能面板，二级面板花费20个技能点才能开启三级面板。

Lane has now spent 10 skill points on the first level of skills, and has already activated the second level of skills.

The skill setting of "The Witcher 3" is actually very interesting. Some low-level skills can get qualitative changes after reaching the full level, but the effects provided by many high-level skills will be tasteless.This leads to players sometimes preferring low-level skills rather than upgrading more advanced skills.

Among the [Combat] skills, there are four first-level skills, which are:

[Muscle Memory]: Quick attack damage increased by 25%.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +5%. (5/5)

[Strength Training]: Strong attack damage increased by 25%.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +5%. (5/5)

[Arrow Offset]: A well-timed block can bounce the arrow and double the damage.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +3% (3/3)

[Lightning Response]: The slow motion when aiming at the crossbow is reduced by 45%.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +3%. (3/3)

[Decided (gray)]: The adrenaline lost when receiving damage is reduced by 100%.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +5%. (5/5)

Shown here are full-scale effects.There is no need to add the last two skills, and Lan never uses them in the game.And now these first-level skills correspond to a total of five second-level skills as follows:
【精准重击】：速攻暴击几率提升10%，速攻暴击伤害提升75%。肾上腺素毒素增加+5%。（5/5）

【粉身碎骨】：强击暴击几率增加10%强击暴击伤害增加75%肾上腺素毒素增加：+5%。（5/5）

[Mountainless]: When dodging, the damage value of the attack is reduced by 100%.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +5%. (5/5)

[Cruel and cruel]: Every time the crossbow bolt hits the target, it will increase 0.2 points of adrenaline.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +5%. (5/5)

【不死一族（灰色）】：生命力降至0时，若尚有肾上腺素点数，则可以使用肾上腺素恢复生命。回复量依使用的肾上腺素点数而定。另加100%。肾上腺素毒素增加：+5%。（5/5）

What Lan En envied the most was the [Undead] in it. This skill must be activated in the game. As long as there is adrenaline toxin, you will not be afraid of death!

It's a pity that the adrenaline toxin is a unique power acquired by the demon hunter in the potion body modification, and Lan can't order it.After thinking about it, Lan finally added the skill point to [Mountainless].

[Mountainless]: When dodging, the damage value of the attack is reduced by 40%.Adrenaline Toxin Increase: +2%. (2/5)

When it reaches level five, the damage reduction can reach 100%.What is this concept?The concept is that even if there is a warlock on the opposite side who uses AOE to clear the field, even if Lane is within the attack range of the opponent, as long as Lane makes a roll and dodge action, he will not be hurt.

This is not "moving like a mountain", this is "walking through dimensions", this is a bug in the real world card game.

From the effect point of view, this skill is even more "magic" than the magic of those warlocks. It is simply incomprehensible in this world, and it is a dimensionality reduction blow.

It's a pity that in order to obtain such a god-level special effect, this skill must be maxed out.

After obtaining this future magical skill, Lan closed his eyes and wanted to feel the changes in his body carefully, but found that the two levels of [Mountainless] had been improved, but his physical fitness had not improved.

Lan can't help but frown, which is quite different from what he planned.

Why does [Muscle Memory] and [Strength Training] have a corresponding improvement in physical fitness every level, is it because these two skills simply improve the basic combat power?Or is it because of the second-level skill that the physical fitness is no longer improved?
If there are more skill points in hand, Lan can point all the other skills and verify the conjecture one by one.

pity.

After all, it is still poor, and the skill points are not enough.

You can only wait for the extra skill points to test again.Fortunately, now that there are people under his command, the speed of upgrading finally ushered in a qualitative leap.Not only can multi-line work, but also the efficiency of each task is much higher.

For example, the task of finding the arsonist today may be simple in the game.Find someone to chat with, turn on the witcher's senses, follow the clues and run a few laps along the map, and it can be done in ten minutes.

But in reality, Lann doesn't have the detective skills of a witcher's senses, and no matter how much time is given to him, it may just be numb.

And what about the City Defense Army?Ten people, spread out like a carpet, and they also have the responsibility of police officers in later generations, and they are professional counterparts.

With these city defense troops, Lan can do many tasks that he couldn't do before.

He had been promoted to ten levels in the previous year, but now it is one level a day.The road to invincibility is at hand!

Lan En paints a big cake for himself to enjoy the future, although he knows that this must be a dream.Then he stood up suddenly and shouted at the bar owner:
"Give another glass of wine to each of my warriors!"

This generosity drew cheers from the boys.

"My lord Lannister!"

One hand raised the wine glass to pay tribute to Lan En, the sound of the musicians in the bar mixed with the harmony of the men, which made people's blood surge.

Lan En had another glass of strong wine, and was in a daze when a man in an elegant robe and two assistants suddenly came to their table.

The deputy captain at the side was about to angrily scold the outsider who disturbed the festive atmosphere, but a guy behind the other party suddenly held a delicate-looking wine bottle and gently placed it on the table.

The deputy captain looked straight at him.Putting a good bottle of wine in front of an alcoholic, especially a half-drunk one, is simply not a good idea.

The man in the long robe bent slightly and said in a low voice, "Is Earl Lannister in person?"

Lan En showed interested eyes, and casually threw the bottle of wine that the other party had brought over to the deputy captain to let him drink while motioning for the other party to sit down.

"I am the only Lannister in the whole of Sintra. If you are looking for Lannister, it must be me."

"My lord is just joking, with my lord's ability, I believe that the Lannister family will soon become an important family in Cintra." The man in the robe said with a smile, "It seems that today we have to celebrate your lord's promotion. "

The businessman pointed to the city defense troops who were having a carnival.

"That bottle of wine you sent made my vice-captain happy, so you can continue talking until I finish this glass of wine."

Lan didn't like dealing with businessmen of this era, and those nobles who knew nothing but putting on airs.

The man in the robe is quite used to the sense of alienation emanating from a noble like Lann, so he lowered his head and smiled with a wink:

"I've heard about your lord's reputation of 'Lannister, one promise is a thousand gold' for a long time. Now that your lord is still promoted to an officer of the city defense army, I want to give you some credit. At the same time, I also hope that your lord can save us merchants from fire and water."

"Just a month ago, a group of bandits appeared in the countryside of Sintra. They were extremely organized and skilled. There were also many veterans who had deserted from the battlefield. They didn't dare to plunder the village. Always robbing us merchants."

Having said that, the man in the robe pretended to wipe his eyes.

"Just two days ago, they robbed one of my caravans again. All the goods were gone, and all the people were killed. Only one guy escaped."

As he spoke, he pointed to a man behind him who was wearing thick gauze bandages and was listless, as if trying to show his sympathy.

"My lord, this is a good opportunity. These guys usually live without a fixed place, and the captains of the guards of many towns unite to encircle and suppress them, but they can't find them. It's rare that they dared to go outside the city of Sintra. Give you credit for it?"

While the person over there was talking, Lane's panel suddenly rang.

[Discovery mission: Wandering gangsters:
A trader ravaged by banditry calls for your help, a band of robbers roaming Sintra.It is rare that their traces have been mastered, and this seems to be an opportunity to uproot them completely.

Accept/Reject]

Before Lann could answer, the robed merchant put a large clanging purse on the table first.

"Lord Lan En, this is a deposit for you. I know that a big man like you is definitely not short of money. This is just a wish, and there will be a big thank you after it is done."

Lan raised his eyebrows, clicked [Accept] the task, and then shouted:

"Boss, another round of spirits for my brothers, the best dwarven spirits!"

After changing hands, he threw the money bag to the vice-captain who had been quietly looking here, and continued to the robe merchant:
"If the money in the money bag is not enough for the wine, you can make up for it. You must know that it is not only me who is helping you, but my soldiers."

The vice-captain, who was already a little drunk, pounced on a tiger, and was almost hit on the head by a thick money bag.His attention had been on Lan En's table for a long time, and his eyes widened when he saw the money bag being taken out by the merchant.

"Besides, sir, since you have heard about my reputation, you should know that I have a title other than 'One Promise'." Lann said softly, "Lannister, you must pay your debts."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at the merchant's face anymore, turned his head and shouted at the soldiers of the city defense army.

"Everyone is open to drinking and eating tonight, but you must not be late for the collective training tomorrow morning!"

"Long live Lord Lane!"

"For Lannister!!"

This kind of cheering and shouting does not seem to be very compliant, but it is a good sign that the army's morale can be raised to this level on the first day as the former city guard captain.
