Serious People, Who is Learning Magic at Marvel?

1234, February.

If you've traveled from Novigrad to Kermorhan during this time, or if you've been a resident of villages large and small in between, you've probably seen a man with two swords on his back. A white-haired witcher and a black-robed wizard rode by.

Don't get me wrong, they are not traveling companions. Although they are traveling together, the witcher does not feel that the black robed mage is his traveling companion.

"You are literally my boss!"

"Am I not?" The black-robed mage looked up at the witcher from the book, and he smiled and said, "Don't forget, Geralt, it's been a few months, and the monster you've killed the most is the A water ghost who can kill a child with a crossbow."

Hearing this, the witcher fell silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, the 'Water Ghost Slayer' title of the sewer guard in Novigrad was really good. He killed water recently. There were so many ghosts that he began to doubt himself.

Am I a water ghost hunter or a witcher?

All that aside, the goal of their trip was Kyle Morhan. It was an ancient castle, the training base for the wolf school witchers. Geralt spent his childhood there. He's going back now to go back and see Vesemir - although he's not sure if the energetic old man is there, but even if he isn't, he can clean up the castle and leave some supplies for Iskar, who might return Got something to eat with Lambert.

Moreover, the pterodactyls in the mountains next to the castle have been bothering them for a long time, and the witcher intends to kill them this spring, which can be regarded as an explanation for the black-robed mage - he is almost forgotten. The content of their transaction at the beginning, the mage just said that he wanted to see how the witcher killed those monsters, but these days he has been killing weak water ghosts, which seems to be nothing.

What's more, he actually wanted to prove himself a little bit.

I'm a qualified witcher, not some bloody 'water ghost slayer'!

They set off from Novigrad, left the Pearl of the North where they had lived for a while, and returned to the countryside. On the way, he didn't see any commissions worth accepting, so he could only kill some evil ghosts, water ghosts, and Anderegg in exchange for commissions. The black-robed mage fell in love with Gwent during this journey - Geralt actually suspected that he didn't like to play cards, but liked watching the people who played cards scratching their heads.

He had never seen He Shenyan lose.

They crossed Tritogle, over the mountains, and returned to Kaldwin, the bitter cold. Then came another arduous climb, hard enough for witchers at least.

In March of the same year, they finally came to Kyle Morhan.

The castle is built on a mountain, and the mountains behind are covered with perennial snow. Surrounded by green trees, the scenery is pleasant. But the castle is not so beautiful. She has long been in ruins, with broken eaves and walls, and the walls are full of ivy.

They crossed another gully and embarked on a section of the road around the mountain. From there, Kermorhan could be seen in the distance, huddled between a pile of stone walls - the collapsed defensive wall with only the tripod, the only remaining towers and gates, and the heavy and thick cylindrical main tower, Geralt's belt As he passed through the gate, which was very narrow compared to the castle itself, he entered the overgrown courtyard. There are several wooden dummies and training swords scattered in one corner of the courtyard. Those swords are dull.

Noticing the mage's gaze, Geralt explained to him: "We used to recruit apprentices, but now, no one has done this for many years."

He Shenyan nodded lightly. He read this history from the book. It was very heavy and sad.

They tied the horses and brought them fresh hay. Afterwards, Geralt entered the castle, leaving the mage alone between the courtyards to observe the castle with a long history. He walked past the heavy stone bricks,

Stepping over the moss and even picking off a few ivy pieces and putting them in his magic backpack.

He could see the intent of the castle, which was designed to withstand a prolonged siege. While its fortifications failed to prevent the slaughter of witchers a hundred years ago, in its glory days it could repel attacks by large armies.

The multiple levels of the building allow it to house troops, while the central courtyard is relatively small, making it easier to defend on the outer walls. The defenders of the castle can be protected by thick walls, moats and drawbridges, and narrow gates, which provide additional protection. The garrison could draw water from a well in the courtyard.

So Kelmorhan stood silently above the wild mountains, in the wild forest, clinging to the peaks of the Blue Mountains, towering high in the clouds. Below is a misty valley, and several small streams converge in the River of White Rock. Standing on the city wall, there is no one in sight, only birds flying in the forest and grizzly bears and wolves wandering in the mountains can be seen.

Karmohan means: Fortress of the Ancient Sea.

He Shenyan had already stood on the city wall, overlooking the scenery of this place, thinking about the history of the witchers he had read in the book.

Because of their unusual and unusual abilities and magical skills, witchers are treated like outcasts, sometimes even incurring resentment. Years ago, someone used leaflets full of lies, and portraits like "Monster-like Witcher's Narrative" and "Monster, Witcher's Story. volume One. ”, which incited peasants to become thugs, and fanatics launched persecution against the collective of witchers.

The thugs surrounded Kyle Morhan when a traitor from the Cat Witcher revealed Kyle Morhan's location to the thugs.

There were 23 witchers and 40 witcher apprentices living in Kermorhan at the time, but it was a little too small for the attackers. The mob, aided by an unknown sorceress, captured Kermorhan and slaughtered all the witchers who were in the castle at the time. Vesemir, Geralt's mentor, survived under the corpse, and the few other witchers who went out to work escaped the carnage.

To this day, only the bones left under the castle moat and under the bridge, and the leaflets scattered everywhere, can still make people remember the massacre.

Sad and heavy, as they are much stronger than humans, not only did they not benefit from this ability, but they were also persecuted. Most witchers spend their lives destitute at the end of their lives, and it is common for them to be wounded to death. If they are given a choice, many people may choose to give up this power and become ordinary people, but unfortunately they can't do it anymore.

Everything has disappeared with the wind.

He heard footsteps and turned his head. Geralt had taken off his soft armour and was working in a coat, the witcher with the mop in his hand looked a little ridiculous. Noticing his gaze, the witcher rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't want to help, then..."

He didn't finish his words, because He Shenyan snapped his fingers gently.
