Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

1234, February.

If you have traveled on the road from Novigrad to Kaer Morhen during this period, or if you are a resident of the villages in between, then you will probably see a man carrying two swords on his back.

A white-haired demon hunter and a black-robed mage rode by.

Don't get me wrong, they are not traveling companions. Although they are indeed traveling together, the demon hunter does not feel that the black-robed mage is his traveling companion at all.

"You are literally my boss!"

"Am I not?" The black-robed mage looked up from the book and glanced at the witcher. He smiled and said: "Don't forget, Geralt, it has been a few months. The monster you have killed the most is...

A kid can kill a water ghost with a crossbow."

Hearing this, the demon hunter fell silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, the sewer guard in Novigrad was indeed well-deserved for his title of 'Water Ghost Slayer'. He had killed many water ghosts recently.

There were so many ghosts that he himself began to doubt it.

Am I a water ghost hunter or a demon hunter?

Putting all this aside, the goal of their trip was Kaer Morhen. It was an ancient castle and the training base for the witchers of the Wolf School. Geralt spent his childhood there. He is going back now

He planned to go back to see Vesemir - although he was not sure whether the energetic old man was there, but even if he was not there, he could still clean up the castle and leave some supplies for Eskar and Lambert who might come back.

Something to eat.

Moreover, the pterodactyls in the mountains beside the castle have troubled them for a long time. The demon hunter plans to kill them this spring, which can be regarded as an explanation to the black-robed mage - he has almost forgotten it.

The content of their initial transaction was revealed. The mage just said that he wanted to see how the demon hunter killed those monsters, but these days he had been killing weak water ghosts, so this seemed to be nothing.

What's more, he actually wants to prove himself.

I'm a qualified demon hunter, not some damn 'water ghost slayer'!

They set off from Novigrad, leaving 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 spirits.

Water Ghost, Andraegg came in exchange for a commission. The black-robed mage became obsessed with Gwent during this journey - Geralt actually suspected that he didn't like playing cards, but liked watching the people who played cards with him scratch their heads.

appearance.

He had never seen He Shenyan lose.

They passed through Tretoghar, climbed over the mountains, and returned to Kaedwen, a bitter and cold land. Then there was another arduous climb over the mountains and ridges, at least hard enough for a witcher.

In March of the same year, they finally arrived in Kaer Morhen.

This castle is built on a mountain, and the mountains behind it are covered with white snow that never melts all year round. It is surrounded by green trees and the scenery is pleasant. But the castle is not so beautiful. It has long been dilapidated, with broken eaves and broken walls, and the walls are covered with ivy.

.

They crossed another gully and embarked on a road that looped around the mountain. From there, they could see Kaer Morhen squeezed between a bunch of stone walls in the distance - only the scaffolding of the defensive wall, the remaining towers and gates were left.

As well as the heavy and thick cylindrical main tower, Geralt led him through the city gate, which was very narrow compared to the castle itself, and entered the overgrown courtyard. In the corner of the courtyard were scattered several wooden dummies and training equipment.

Use swords. Those swords are blunt.

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 gently. He read this period of history from the book, which was very heavy and sad.

They tied the horses and brought them fresh fodder. Then Geralt entered the castle, leaving the mage standing alone in the courtyard observing this castle with a long history. He strolled through

Those heavy stone bricks, stepped on the moss, and even picked off a few pieces of ivy and put them in his magic backpack.

He could see the intention behind the design of this castle, which was designed to withstand a long siege. Although its fortifications failed to prevent the massacre of witchers a hundred years ago, in its glory days, it

Can repel the attack of a large number of troops.

The multiple levels of the building allowed it to garrison troops, while the relatively narrow central courtyard made it easier to defend the outer walls. The castle's defenders were protected by thick walls, moats and drawbridges, and narrow gates, which provided additional protection. Garrison

Water can be obtained from a well in the courtyard.

Kaer Morhen stands quietly above the wilderness mountains, in the wilderness forest, close to the peaks of the Blue Mountains, towering high in the clouds. And below are the mist-filled valleys and several small streams.

They gather in the White Stone River. Standing on the city wall, the field of vision is deserted. All you can see are birds flying in the forest and grizzly bears and wolves wandering in the mountains.

Kaer Morhen means: Ancient Sea Fortress.

He Shenyan had already stood on the city wall. He was overlooking the scenery here and thinking about the history of the demon hunters that he had read in the books.

Because of their anomalous, unusual abilities and magical skills, witchers are treated as outcasts, sometimes even incurring resentment. Years ago, someone used leaflets full of lies, and stories like "The Narrative of the Monster-like Witcher"

", "Monsters, Portraits of Demon Hunters. Volume One." Such illegal publications incited farmers to become thugs, and fanatics launched a collective persecution of witchers.

A traitorous Cat witcher revealed Kaer Morhen's location to the thugs, so the thugs surrounded Kaer Morhen.

There were 23 witchers and 40 witcher apprentices living in Kaer Morhen at that time, but there were too few compared to the attackers. The thugs captured it with the assistance of an unknown sorceress.

Kaer Morhen, slaughtered all the witchers who were in the castle at that time. Vesemir, Geralt's mentor survived by hiding under the corpses, and a few witchers who were working outside escaped.

this massacre.

To this day, only the bones left in the castle ditch and under the bridge, as well as leaflets scattered everywhere, can still remind people of this massacre.

Sad and heavy, as they are much stronger than humans, not only do they not benefit from this ability, but they are also persecuted. Most demon hunters end up in poverty throughout their lives, and injury and death are commonplace. If you give them a choice

, many people may choose to give up this power and become ordinary people, but unfortunately they can no longer do it.

Everything has disappeared with the wind.

He heard footsteps and turned his head. Geralt had taken off his soft armor and was working in a coat. The witcher with a mop in his hand looked a little ridiculous. Noticing his gaze, the hunter

The demon rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't want to help, then..."

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