Chapter 995 977. Adjust the atmosphere

?“Good day, my lord.”

Lincoln, who was already waiting behind the door, first bowed to Lan En on Qilin's back and said hello, then straightened up and nodded towards the kitten standing on Qilin's head.

?“Good day, flannel ball.”

?“Hello to you, Lincoln!”

Lan En rolled over and dismounted, and Lincoln stepped forward to give him a courtesy support.

ˆˆ expresses the status relationship of a subordinate.

When Lan En stood on the ground, Lincoln seemed to be curious and wanted to slowly put his hand on Qilin's neck and stroke it.

?But then, “Whoops!”

Qilin turned his head to his side and exhaled, the hot air expelled from his wet nostrils still carrying an electric arc.

??Lincoln, who was wearing knight armor, was given an electric slap.

?“Eh~”

“It’s called Qilin, and he’s my friend. No, there’s no need to take care of it, it can play happily on its own.”

?Now, a mount that could match Lan En's size was already unusual.

??But Flanbuqiu and Lan En were watching the fun with a malicious smile.

He is also an old acquaintance with the members of these knights. After all, they fought side by side in Sintra.

?But after not seeing each other for such a long time, he just felt that these people were completely different from the original group of stragglers.

??Last time Lann went outside the city of Gos Velen to receive his knights again, he did not ride the unicorn.

??White Wolf handed Carrot's reins to the members of the Ember Knights who were waiting.

?The knights in the castle were also in an uproar.

?The electric current caused a trembling scream to come out of the knight's mouth, which stopped after a moment.

?After all, considering their receptivity, a talking Elcat would be quite amazing.

??Coupled with this expensive and heavy magic horse gear, there is also the majestic temperament of Qilin itself.

?“What if? All my horses are called this, you know.”

?Lann said as he called for Geralt to follow him.

?“Long time no see, I’ll leave it to you, He Lin.”

?This voice was faintly heard among the knights.

?Hair still wet with sweat from training, the knight lying on his forehead smiled and took the reins.

?“Is this a unicorn?!”

“Isn’t this horse still called Carrot?”

"It seems that you have been busy during this period." Lincoln trembled with his hands and looked at Lan En with a grin. It was obvious that he was not used to the feeling of being lightly shocked. "Achieve a lot?"

?“Haha!” Lan En, who succeeded in the prank, leaned over and put his arm around Lincoln’s shoulders and shook him.

??The two smiled at each other and patted their shoulders. After Geralt waved again, he quickened his pace slightly and rushed towards Lan En and the others who were walking in front.

As soon as he stepped forward, Geralt noticed an acquaintance approaching.

?Stewart Lynn, son of Hackthor Lynn.

Half of the handsome and young knights were broken now. He did not let Eric Tosa's technology reshape his face, but only made a iron chin on the gap in his cheeks.

?But that iron chin was of no use, it just made his temperament more terrifying in addition to being cold.

??Geralt looked at Stuart with a somewhat complicated look.

??The two of them had had a lot of friction before in the refugee group in Sintra, but after Haxo explained everything in letters and cleared up the misunderstanding, Stewart had been destroyed into a humanoid form.

?It took a long time to rescue him in Arethusa.

??Geralt had no chance to talk to him, so he could only protect Ciri and rush to Kaer Morhen.

?Hiri's identity was too sensitive at the time, and even now, and he didn't dare to stop at all.

?So now when acquaintances meet, Geralt, who is not very good at sociability, just walks up to Stuart and opens his mouth but doesn't know what to say.

??Stewart’s cold temperament was even more exaggerated than before he was injured, so even when Geralt walked up to him, he just glanced at him.

“By the way, I’ve never been to this castle before, Stuart, please introduce it to me.”

Just as the atmosphere between the two became more solid, Lan En's voice broke in like an icebreaker.

?The young demon hunter seemed completely unaware of the abnormality in the atmosphere, and naturally intervened between the two of them. Two hands were placed on their shoulders, one on each side, and they were pulled forward.

?Good communication skills and emotional sensitivity allow Lan En to eliminate the barriers with almost no abruptness.

“Lincoln is the commander you appointed to hold your ring, my lord.”

??Stewart said calmly, and Lan smiled indifferently.

"But you are also involved in management, right? Don't deny it, I can feel it from the people of the Knights."

“So, do you want to punish me for overstepping my authority? I have no objection.”

?“Criminal? Don’t be so serious, Stuart.”

? Lan En patted him on the shoulder. Although he deliberately controlled the force, the stern-faced knight was still shaken violently and coughed.

"Lincoln doesn't have your management experience. I think he has potential, but this potential is far from being developed. Your guidance is very helpful to him." ? ? ? "And the Knights can't always have such a small number of people. The management is rich. Getting up is inevitable.”

“Please, even the style of the noble coat of arms on the ring seal is the draft you gave me. I wish I had many people to worry about this kind of chore for me.”

?In just three or two sentences, Lan En completed the task of "breaking the ice", "pacifying people's hearts" and "looking forward to future development".

Even as an outsider to the Knights, Geralt could clearly feel that when Lan first arrived, the atmosphere in the Knights was exciting but a bit tense.

?The knights were worried that their current situation would dissatisfy their lords.

?They looked up to Lan En as if they were worshiping gods, but they also became nervous in front of him.

?But now the atmosphere is greatly relaxed, as if Lan En has not been away from the leadership position for a long time, but has been with them all the time.

?I won’t be able to do this even if I live for hundreds of years.

??Geralt said to himself while following the atmosphere and relaxing.

?Lan En controlled the atmosphere of the scene like a fish in water.

?He is friends with everyone here and has shared campfires and food in the wild.

?But the status of a friend does not mean that he does not need to use the leader's methods to carry out overall control.

?Friends are friends, but after forming a group, group management must be adopted to ensure the operation of the organization.

?This has nothing to do with the intimacy of the relationship, but a question of the strength of the group's organization.

?So even if Lan En has friendship with everyone here, he will still use some "tricks" when appropriate.

?For example, the few sentences just now, as well as his matching little expressions and movements.

?“You are the son of the royal steward, Stuart.”

?Lan En opened his hands slightly, as if he was waiting to watch the show.

“We are all a bunch of ‘idiots’ who only know **** people. Can you still expect them to introduce me to me?”

? ? Laughing and cursing without malice is a good way to heat up the atmosphere, especially for people with higher status.

?So the people around me were laughing together without caring.

??Stewart sighed and shrugged, and walked to the front of the row as if resigned to his fate.

"Then, please allow me to introduce to you this castle where the Knights are based, my lord."

??Stewart does seem to have been influenced by his father a lot.

?As far as posture and etiquette are concerned, there is nothing wrong with it.

??He stood by the road and bowed slightly, while extending his arms toward the castle as if to invite entry.

??The flannel ball lay on Lan En's shoulder and followed the group in curiously.

“King Foltest’s material support has never stopped, and we have also returned all donations from other countries in accordance with your instructions.”

“There are currently sixty-one members of the Order of Ember in High Hill Castle, but there are also almost twice that many servants, as well as two Temerian royal liaisons.”

“The main body of the castle is made of local rocks and is a typical hill fort. Functionally, it is a defensive military fortress, and its appearance adopts the style of a tower castle.”

?Following Stuart's introduction, Lann walked into the main body of the castle.

?As the son of the former steward of the Cintra royal family, although he later became a knight, Haxor's knowledge still influenced him.

ˆThe speed and pitch of speaking, the order of introduction, the brief and detailed arrangements. These are all details that cannot be discovered by untrained people.

?Military castles do not consider comfort issues, so even the commander's room is not spacious.

?But after walking all the way, Lan En still saw large furniture in the room that fit his size.

?This room belonging to the owner of the castle shows a rare level of comfort.

Lan En sat on the big chair behind the desk. Next to the big chair, Lincoln placed a small chair that fit the shape of a velvet ball.

?After Lan En sat down, the flannel ball also jumped up excitedly.

??This is considered entering the scene of formal conversation.

?“As usual, this is the ledger for this period, my lord.”

??Lincoln's armor is no different from that of other members of the Knights of Ember, but the large notebook hanging on his waist like a crossbody bag is very eye-catching.

?It can be regarded as his personal symbol within the Knights.

?Lincoln opened the tome, pulled out a key from the pages, then opened it on a metal safe in this room, and took out a notebook.

?Financial records, or traces of resource flows. If the controller of any organization does not have control over this thing, he is just a puppet put on stage.

? Lan En flipped through it a few times, and Mentos had already sorted out all the details.

In addition to the initial large amount of funding, Foltest was also responsible for the replenishment of supplies and the monthly input of funds.

?The first fund was twenty thousand orens, and two thousand orens were allocated every subsequent month. The supplies were calculated separately, and Lann estimated that he put the pressure on the supplies on Weeserad, the Governor of Waylon.

?Even for the established knights in Temeria, this treatment is completely beyond the standard.

?A wealthy knight can get dozens of orons of agricultural products or a small amount of coins from the village under his name every month.

?If you join a knighthood, the great noble to whom the knighthood belongs will give the knight a symbolic monthly allowance.

?But none of the members of the Knights of Ember are wealthy knights. Even if they had property before, they now belong to Nilfgaardians.
