Lannister House.
After defeating the witcher, there was basically no danger in the forest. After resting until dawn, Lann quickly returned to the capital.
Lann's armor with holes all over his body and his bloody face really frightened many people, and he were immediately sent home for examination by a doctor.
At this moment, he was boredly looking at the newly upgraded panels. As expected, most of the skill panels were still closed. As for the extra skill point, Lann thought about it and added it to [Fleet Footed] (4/5).
This skill has been used many times in this battle, and it has proven its worth.
[Fleet Footed]: Damage from hits received while dodging is reduced by 100%. Adrenaline Point gain: +5%. (5/5)
The full level [Fleet Footed] has officially entered the ranks of bugs. As long as you make a dodge action, you can be immune to all attack damage. He believes that the next time he faces his enemies, they will have an unforgettable memory.
While Lann was adjusting the system panel, on the other side, the doctor finally finished the examination.
The doctor said in amazement: "There is no big problem. Lord Earl's body is very strong. The injuries he suffered this time were all skin injuries. It can even be said that he was unscathed. I am surprised by the great resistance and strength that the Earl's body shows."
"But I still recommend taking a few more days of rest. After all, the situation was very dangerous as described. If you feel any other discomfort, please come to me as soon as possible."
The doctor who was invited was explaining some rest and recuperation matters to the housekeeper Enns. Although these were commonplace things, Enns still patiently wrote them down.
After a few pleasantries, the old housekeeper took the doctor out to settle the medical bills, while Hardy stayed behind to clean up the mess.
"Master." After finishing cleaning up, Hardy said to Lann thoughtfully: "This time you really scared the hell out of us."
The knight's armor covering the whole body was cut with dozens of large and small gaps, as if he had rolled twice into the enemy's guard camp on the battlefield.
"The opponent is indeed very strong." Lann nodded. "But he is also worse than me."
Lann waved his hand to block what Hardy wanted to say next. The valet was not qualified to say anything else.
The person who is qualified to advise the master is the old steward.
After sending the doctor away, Enns turned back and said: "Master, someone sent a gift to our house yesterday. You may want to take a look."
Lann became interested: "What gift is it?"
"Horse, Master. It's a horse."
In the stable, a horse with shiny black hair was tied. The horse's body is soft like velvet, its ears are small and erect, its mane is long and curly, its head and neck are slender, and its legs are robust. From its appearance alone, it could be praised as a good quality horse.
It seems that because it has just arrived in a new environment, it is a little restless. The horses that used to pull the cart in the stable huddled in a corner and did not dare to approach.
Lann had a strange look on his face. It's not that the horse is bad, but that he is too familiar with it.
"Isn't this 'Black Wind'? I remember it was Ciri's birthday gift?"
"Yes." Enns lowered his head and said: "This was given to the princess by Her Majesty the Queen, but because the princess is still young and Black Wind is in its prime, it has never been tamed."
Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, nicknamed Ciri, is a 'deviant' princess in the traditional sense. The 'deviant' here means that she has a lively nature and does not like knowledge of court etiquette but prefers sports. She likes fencing, riding horses and beating people.
So, after Ciri became a little sensible and listened to some stories, she longed for a horse of her own. This is nothing. Every noble lady has her own horse. The problem is that the person delivering the horse is Queen Calanthe.
The first horse a normal person gives to a girl would definitely be a pony, but who is Calanthe? That is the 'lioness' who went to the battlefield to kill people herself when she was just a teenager and came back victorious!
In some sense, this beautiful Her Majesty the Queen is more manly than men. Unfortunately, she also apparently had some misconceptions about her granddaughter.
Having seen the results, Queen Calanthe chose a high-quality war horse 'Black Wind' for her granddaughter who was less than ten years old. It was in its prime, so named because it ran like a black wind that was difficult to chase.
Fortunately, there are still people with brains in the palace. In order to prevent the poor princess from falling off her horse and dying prematurely at a young age, Ciri has not ridden a horse herself for such a long time. Instead, she keeps Black Wind like a pet. Let's cultivate the relationship first and wait until Ciri grows up a little before trying to start the journey.
Or he can simply become a stud. When Ciri grows up, he can ride Black Wind's daughter or son.
But now the horse appeared in Lann's stable.
"The princess asked someone to bring a message. The general meaning is the princess will get married soon, and she will probably not have much chance to ride a horse in the future. So, she simply gave the 'Black Wind' to the best knight in Cintra, so that it would not be left alone. Locked up in the yard."
Enns lowered his head when he repeated this sentence. The old man might be suppressing a smile.
"This girl is probably angry because I haven't gone to play with her since I won the fencing championship." Lann shook his head. "Take care of Black Wind first, and I will go to her to talk about this matter after a while. "
But how to find Ciri? She is now being hidden by the people in the palace as a princess who is about to get married.
While Lann was thinking, Enns suddenly changed the subject and said:
"Master, maybe I will call you Lord after a while."
Lann was stunned: "Actually, it's not necessary, but if it is necessary for etiquette and you insist, I can adapt to it."
Enns shook his head, his old eyes revealing memories: "I mean, you are approaching your father's age, but you are still different from the old master."
"You are no longer a knight, but an earl, and an officer. Your bravery has long been confirmed by God and Her Majesty the Queen, and you don't need to prove more. What you need to know is that there are some things You don't have to do it yourself."
This was advice, and the tone was as delicate as possible for Lann to understand. The old man was still scared by the way he faced the witcher.
