From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

For Lane, Saskia can play a role far beyond a "normal" dragon.

In the stories Lane is familiar with, Saskia will continue to struggle and practice for her ideals in the days to come. In the future, Saskia will devote herself to the war against the powerful and become the leader of the peasant uprising army in Aedirn, leading the army to fight against the army of the kingdom many times. She is widely loved by the farmers and will be called "Virgin of Aedirn".

She has a strong military accomplishment and personality charm, leading the rebel army all the way to conquer the entire Pontar Valley area; when the king of Aden, Demavi, was assassinated and the dragons in Aden were leaderless, she even temporarily protected Aden. and repeatedly defeated the invading Kaedwenian king Henselt.

And when she achieved all these achievements, except that she directed and acted a play of "I kill myself" in the early stage of the uprising and won the title of "Dragon Slayer" in order to gain fame, she never used any dragon characters. Strength, all rely on the ability of the ridiculously strong "human" category.

During this process, Saskia also won the surrender of some Scoia'tael because of her help to non-human races. She has humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings working for her. In the later period, she almost established an independent kingdom and almost realized her ideal.

It is a pity that in the chaotic situation of the Civil War, Saskia fell into the joint conspiracy of several female sorceresses, and after a series of slander, she lost the trust of the people. But even so, after being deprived of her status as a leader, she still used her dragon body to protect her former people until the iron cavalry of Nilfgaard came, and she has since lost her voice.

For Lane, Saskia's joining is not just an extra dragon for his own side, but also an extra general and marshal who can stand on his own in the future. What's more, there is a golden dragon father behind Saskia, maybe she can be used to open the door of the Zerui Kai Kingdom, which is farther north than the Northern Territory...

"I'm very happy to have you join, Saskia." Lane emphasized again sincerely, "You can't imagine the joy in my heart at this moment."

Saskia also showed a relieved smile after grabbing Lan En's hand, quite satisfied that she had finally found her goal.

"Maybe I can imagine one or two, because I have the same joy at the moment."

But immediately after, Saskia restrained her expression, and said hesitantly: "I actually have a request, Lane. I just didn't want to be misunderstood by you as a threat, so I said it after agreeing to join Sintra... If this request If it makes you feel embarrassed, it doesn’t matter if you have never heard of it.”

"So what is this request?" Even though he was happy in his heart, Lan En did not agree blindly, but showed full reason.

"About Kelturis." Saskia looked at the direction where the red dragon was flying away, "She... is my compatriot after all, and our number is getting smaller and smaller. If possible, I hope you can spare her One life."

Lane had expected this request.

After pondering for a while, he replied: "You know I don't like killing and fighting, and I'm not interested in the treasure of dragons. The reason for all this is only the conflict between the dwarves and Kelturis."

"I'm willing to persuade the dwarves to let the red dragon leave without hindrance for you, or pretend to have killed the red dragon to cover up people's eyes and ears." Lan said, "but all of this is based on the fact that Kelturis is willing to leave. We don't yet know why it has become so insane, if there is any irreconcilable, undying conflict between it and the dwarves..."

"Then, put Cintra's interests first, I understand." Saskia was very considerate and didn't let Lann say this in person, but took over the conversation herself.

The Virgin of Aedirn is an idealist, but also a rational thinker and a doer. Her future independent kingdom was fought on the battlefield with swords and swords, and she knew what was right.

Lan En nodded, then looked at Saskia's appearance wrapped in a cloak, and thought: "Maybe you have to temporarily hide your identity as a dragon. You are the only dragon in the world that can transform into a human form. This is a dragon." An excellent secret weapon."

Saskia nodded, fully aware of her strategic value. She didn't know what she thought of, but suddenly she burst out laughing under Lan En's strange eyes.

"I have a good idea, and it can be regarded as my first gift to you after joining Sintra."

"I don't know Lann, are you interested in the title of 'Dragon Slayer'?"

...

Clan Ferenc, town.

After such a long time, Colgrim and Geralt have returned long ago. They handed over the young Ferencs they brought back to their parents, and then handed over the Scoia'tael who had infiltrated into Mahakam and Waffzine Gram transfer.

At this time, the familiar rumbling earthquake sounded on the ground, and the ice giant returned from the mountains wrapped in wind and frost. His body was dripping with blood. Not only was Lan standing on his left shoulder, but he was also holding Saskia who had just disappeared from the team in his hand.

"Lan killed that green dragon, he is a dragon slayer!" As soon as he landed, Saskia vividly described the battle scene he "witnessed" to everyone.

According to what she said, when the red dragon flew towards the Ferenc clan, she sneaked away from the team and returned. On the way, she happened to see the scene where the red dragon fled and the green dragon wrapped Lan En and flew into the sky. Then the green dragon was shot down by Lann, and it happened to land near Saskia, so she touched it quietly, witnessing Lann's "dragon slaying moment".

"I even shot an arrow from a long distance to help!"

Saskia raised her chin proudly, and at the same time winked at Lann, as if to say: "In this way, no one will suspect that I was transformed from that green dragon, and it can also increase your reputation, killing two birds with one stone!"

Lan En shook his head lightly, dumbfounded. He only felt that the dragon girl in front of her was still a long way from the virgin girl of Aden who had grown into the future. Saskia's remarks have also deceived these unknown dwarves. Didn't you see that the suspicion in Geralt's eyes has not subsided after rising?

Especially Geralt, the white-haired witcher, had already smelled a scent he was extremely familiar with, and was just waiting to find Lan in private to verify his conjecture.

Milva has the fiercest eyes among all of them. The reason why she stares at Saskia is different from others, because her eyes are focused on the suit of Lann's clothes on Saskia.

As for Wavzhinek, he looked at Lann and the ice giant who was more than ten meters tall beside him. Reminiscent of the blood-spitting face when the red dragon flew to the town before, he couldn't help but believe it.

...

"Duke Lannister, did you kill the green dragon! Where's Kelturis?"

Facing Wavzinek's question, Lan shook his head: "By the time I got rid of the green dragon, the red dragon had already flown away."

Vavzhnek immediately showed a disappointed expression when he heard the words, but he still expressed his gratitude to Lan: "This is very good. We, Mahakam, can hardly afford to support a Kerturis, let alone another green one." Dragon. I thank you, Lord Lannister, on behalf of our Clan Ferenc and Mahakam."

Saskia just smiled while listening.

Wawzhinek then apologized: "A feat like dragon slaying was originally worth celebrating with a carnival banquet with the whole mountain range - not to mention you saved our town. It's just...you saw it, we I just don’t have the energy right now.”

Lan En nodded understandingly, he didn't ask for any banquet in the first place. At this moment, he looked around the surrounding town of Ferenc, and he even felt a sense of sadness after experiencing the destruction of Sintra.

It was here that Kerturis had wrought the carnage and destruction.

The houses on the edge of the town have been turned into torches, all the wooden materials inside have been burned into charcoal, and the stone structures outside have also melted slightly, which makes the people who watch it only feel shocking.

And this is not the most important thing, the house is not important.

The Ferenc youths who had just returned home cried and ran towards their parents, but a few of them looked around blankly. After getting the unbearable affirmation of those elders in the clan, they immediately collapsed to the ground, and cried loudly at the several corpses on the ground that had been scorched into charcoal by the flames.

Although Saskia arrived in time, Kelturis had already caused a lot of damage. The joy of reunion when the wanderer returned home has disappeared.

【Mission - A place I can't go back to - Completed】

Lane's sub-quest has also been completed to bring the young people who went out safely home. However, he didn't have much joy in completing the task, and only sighed in his heart.

...

Apart from the devastation wrought by the red dragon, Wawzynek had other troubles to deal with. At this moment, he was punching and kicking those Scoia'tael who had been captured by the Sintra people, and he could hardly bear to take an ax to chop the traitors of these races.

Mahakam is also extremely repulsive to the Scoia'tael, because these terrorists have greatly discredited the dwarves in human society and caused them to suffer many unwarranted disasters. Mahakam's diplomatic relations and trade activities with other countries in the north have also been negatively affected.

Therefore, Mahakam may not be more hostile to Scoia'tael than some human nations.

At this moment, these dwarf Scoia'tael are tightly bound. Because the fighters of the Ferenc clan have not yet returned, they even need the help of the Cintra people to detain them.

Herilera walked to Lann's side silently, and after much thought, she said, "Duke Lannister, are you just handing over these Scoia'tael to the dwarves? I found many criminals wanted by Aedirn." ,if you can……"

"If you can, you can ask His Majesty Demavi to discuss these criminals through diplomatic means after you go out, Leila." Lane interrupted, "I know what you are thinking, but I cannot agree to your proposal."

"And believe me, the Great Elder Mahakam's punishment for these Scoia'tael will not be much lighter than what the human law stipulates."

Leila seemed a little reconciled after receiving Lann's reply, but she still gritted her teeth and bowed her head to apologize: "I'm out of time. Sorry, Duke Lannister."

Lane and the others had a good time getting along with Leila along the way, and Lane also admired the captain of the Aden Special Forces. But Layla is Aden's soldier after all, and it is also Aden's position, and Lann doesn't want to lose Mahakam's favor because of Aden at this moment.

Just at this time, the cry of a Ferenc youth came:

"It's horrible out there! Aedirn is horrible, Lyria is horrible, Kaedwen is worse! They lied to us, abused us, punished us with other people's mistakes, and I never want to leave Mahakam again!"

Herrera looked at the Scoia'tael being detained, and at the Ferenc youths who were crying to their parents.

Herilera's left hand rested on her ear, which was the same as a human's ear. The half-elf's ears will show sharp physical signs between elves and humans, but a quarter of the elf bloodline will not make the blood carrier have any appearance that is different from humans, except for making the appearance more beautiful. .

But Leila rubbed and rubbed her ears vigorously, as if there was something dirty on them.

She muttered to herself, "Squirta'tael..."

...

Since the clan has undergone tremendous changes, Lan can't bother too much. This is obviously not the time to discuss any compensation and support.

They were arranged to live in a moderately sized house in the town. Lane summoned his confidants to his room, and Saskia came with him.

There is no need to hide the identity of the dragon girl from her confidants, they need to know how much power they hold in their hands. And everyone who knew the truth suddenly realized after thinking of all the abnormalities in the previous journey, and then took a breath.

"I thought you had become a 'Dragon Slayer', but I didn't expect you to become a 'Dragon Rider'...or rather, a 'Dragon Rider'?" Colgrim's focus was always sharp.

He became excited. No one in history has ever been able to talk to dragons so peacefully. Even the description of dragons in the Demon Hunting Book is quite limited. The appearance of Saskia will definitely make any academic researcher in Cintra crazy.

"So all dragons can turn into humans? Or are there any special conditions?"

"Only my father and I can transform into human beings." Saskia chuckled lightly, without any concealment, "But my father is stronger, he can change into countless appearances, and I only have the one you see a human gesture."

Colgrim looked at Saskia and praised: "Your aesthetics for humans is very good!"

Geralt was thoughtful: "You are the little guy back then... How is your father?"

Saskia replied: "Thank you for saving me and my mother with Ms. Yennefer. As for my father... he is better than anyone."

At this answer, even Geralt himself laughed. That's right, a miraculous dragon like the golden dragon itself has the power to surpass the giant dragon, not to mention living in the country of Zerekhan that believes in the dragon, can he live a bad life?

...

Lan suddenly knocked on the table to attract Saskia's attention.

He asked a question that he had thought about for a long time.

"Now that it has been announced openly, many topics that were not convenient to talk about before can also be discussed."

"Saskia, as you can see me, Kolgrim, and Geralt are all witchers. I heard that Zerikhan also has a school of witchers, which seems to be called the 'Manticore School', have you heard Have you ever said that?"

Saskia seemed to have expected Lan En to ask such a question, and she smiled happily in Lan En's expectant eyes: "Of course."
