Witcher's Atelier

"Hierarch's Square" is the main landmark in the center of Novigrad. Many nobles and mages live in the surrounding area, forming a gorgeous building complex.

This clean and spacious place was occasionally used by the "Temple Guards" to carry out burning executions. The burning method was to tie the prisoners to wooden stakes and pile firewood underneath and burn them alive. Every time, it caused a sensation and attracted countless citizens to watch and cheer.

However, in recent years, executions at the stake have been less frequent, and now the square is filled with trading stations and market stalls, just like the Vizima trading area, with all kinds of tourists and a dazzling array of goods that are dizzying.

Glancing at the sign "Books and Scrolls" on the store in the distance, the young man stepped forward and continued to move forward, hearing the noisy sounds of various items being sold in the market.

"Come and take a look. The quantity is limited. The amulets are from 'Ban Ade' and 'Goswellen' and are sold directly from the production area to protect you safely when you go out!"

"Honorable lady, all the herbs you need are here!"

"Sir, stop, the eternal fire is here, with you."

"Come and see, everyone! The very precious miracle potion is here to make your thinning hair thicker again!"

"Water pears, fresh water pears, fragrant and sweet, just picked, the dew on them hasn't even dried yet!"

"Don't think about it anymore, buy it! There is nothing cheaper than mine north of the Pontal River!"

There is no doubt that this is the legendary witcher of the future. The once-in-a-lifetime grand stage of Geralt the White Wolf is like watching The Qin Empire and thinking of worrying about the past on the Great Wall. In the same mood as a pilgrimage, the young man is walking on the stone streets.

Until he passed by a fruit vendor, the middle-aged woman looking at the stall looked kind-hearted, and the wooden shelves were also very clean, which caught his eye.

Picking up an apple that was in season—at least it looked like an apple in appearance—Victor weighed it in his hand.

He hesitated for a moment, and was about to put the fruit back to its place, but was stopped by Bosler softly, "Master, in Novigrad City, you have to buy something if you touch it. It is already yours."

"Is there such a rule!?" He took the apple back indifferently. He smelled the aroma, wiped it with his clothes, and then took a bite. The skin was thin, the flesh was crispy, and the juice was sweet.

The white-haired elf stood nearby, observing Victor's satisfied smile, and silently stretched out his hand to place five crowns in front of the stall owner.

Seeing the gold coins, the middle-aged woman consciously selected a few apples of good quality and wrapped them in a clean cloth.

A thug on the side took it and put it in the shopping basket he was carrying.

…

After a good rest last night, today Victor, accompanied by Bosler and six gang members, came to the most prosperous area of ​​Novigrad City to conduct a "gathering" activity.

Alphonse's statement is that art must come from life. He hopes to introduce the current situation and history of this great city to the "Dragon Poet" because excellent works must come from real feelings, so don't be afraid of flowers. money.

It can be said that as long as you have real ability, this art patron Alphonse is willing to pay your bills, and it is not limited to poets. He also sponsors painters and has quite good attainments in art appreciation.

When talking about this, Bosler also added with a smile that in order to collect the murals in the living room, at least hundreds of lives were sacrificed, including some owners who were unwilling to sell the works.

During the chat, the group of people walked through the "Lecturer's Square" from east to west.

Victor asked casually: "I still have a question, even if Dandelion introduced me, how did you identify me?"

As soon as he finished asking the question, he saw four or five dwarves walking towards him. They were wearing cardigan vests decorated with bear fur and had strange tattoos, and they were eager to fight.

"Please wait a moment, starting from here is the 'Silverton' area, the territory of 'Butcher' Clifford. I will go and communicate first." The white-haired elf ordered two of his men to follow, and quickly stepped forward to block the dwarf.

After spitting out the core and ignoring their negotiation, the boy walked directly to the roadside and checked the erected bulletin board. The notices in each area were important sources of intelligence.

"remind! 》

"Don't touch the product! If you touch the product, you have to pay for it!"

——City Council of the Free City of Novigrad

Victor shook his head, there really is such a rule...

"Looking for Portrait Painters"

"I would like to ask a portrait artist to paint a portrait of my dear daughter. I need this portrait to help her get engaged to a young man from 'Coville'. Remember not to overemphasize reality, it must be able to represent my baby personality.”

──Martin. Earhardt

This piece of paper meant nothing to the boy. His precious daughter's personality must be very "abstract."

"Warning to New Visitors"

"New visitors are hereby warned that in Novigrad they can only believe in the one eternal fire. Activities of other religions will be regarded as heresy and will be severely punished by law (public burning). Wearing anything else is strictly prohibited Symbols of gods, rituals or missions of other religions.”

——The leader of the Eternal Fire, Sirus. Ngke. His Highness Heimfa

A warning that must be taken seriously, from the leader of Heimfa of Eternal Fire, the supreme ruler of this city.

"Words from the Armorers' Guild"

"The Armorer's Guild would like to remind everyone:

． You must join our guild and prove your ability before you can forge and sell armor and helmets in Novigrad.

． For every hundred crowns earned by a guild member, two crowns must be paid into the public fund.

． Members who intentionally steal another's apprentice must give half of their profits to the union.

． If you deceive customers that the iron helmet and iron breastplate are made of steel, they will be removed from the guild list.

． If you bring weapons to a union meeting, you must hand over one day's earnings as punishment."

Regarding the contents of this announcement, Victor was slightly fascinated by it. It was indeed a big commercial city, and it was already organized.

"Don't worry about the union, Mr. Alphonse will make sure your store opens smoothly."

At some point, Bosler had finished talking to the dwarf, returned to the dragonborn poet, and naturally told the Phantom Troupe's plan to start a business in Novigrad.

Victor smiled, not surprised that "Hawthorne" could collect this information, let alone that he could help him clear the obstacles to starting a business.

"As for what you asked just now, this is the reason why we can recognize you." The white-haired elf handed over a small painting, which made the boy's blood boil instantly and became extremely hard. This time, he was talking about fists.

It must have been Dandelion's drawing of the clear sketch of Victor's face. It was with this drawing that they made dozens of copies so that they could spot him at the city gate at the first time.

Keeping this incident in mind, continue to move forward with Bosler, turn left and pass through the "Fish Market". The dragonborn poet is finally taken to the famous Giwon Street, "Perfume Trail".

Looking around, most of the women walking back and forth do not cover their hair with headscarves or top hats. Instead, they let their hair hang naturally, marking their status as wandering women.

"All the ladies on the street can be talked with, and if the conversation goes well, they can sleep together," the ponytail elf introduced with a smile, "Master Dandelion particularly likes this place and calls it the source of his inspiration. Countless The muse sways.

Mr. Alphonse specifically told me not to miss this location during my collecting activities. "

Blinking his eyes, Victor recalled that he had indeed not taken a proper bath for some time.

Nodding, "Maybe you'd like to give me an in-depth introduction!"
