Witcher's Atelier

At the same time in the far corner area, in a desolate and empty house, in front of. Blacksmith apprentice Lu Fu walked back and forth nervously, looking out of the window for confirmation from time to time.

Lu Fu once thought that he was already quite strong, until he met his boss, who was younger but taller.

On the second night he was admitted to the blacksmith shop, when he couldn't sleep, he overheard his boss chatting with Angouleme, and then he learned that the secret to his strength was exercising and drinking energy soup every day.

Especially the energy soup, it is not the kind that is diluted and given to everyone in the blacksmith shop, but the pure, strong and fragrant original solution that Angoulême and the boss are drinking.

Long-term drinking can strengthen your body and gain what you desire most, the power to change everything and avenge blood and hatred.

The unquenchable obsession in Luv's heart originated from his childhood sweetheart. At that time, they were robbed by pirates, and then Luv was sold to Novigrad. No one knows where she is at the moment.

So in order to save his love, he must pass difficult trials with the help of his boss and become an extraordinary witcher.

…

In the afternoon, although the desolate and empty house was old, the buildings on all four sides were still intact. Victor, Angouleme and Louv stood by the wall, holding paintbrushes in their hands and a bucket of paint at their feet.

"Explain, this thing is called sound-absorbing paint. It is painted on the surface of the wall to effectively prevent sound from leaking out." Victor said, "Although you left the blacksmith shop and have already made your choice, I think the time last night was limited and there was no I’ve told you in detail, so it’s still necessary to have some more communication, and we’ll talk about it while we’re working.”

As Victor took the lead in demonstrating how to apply the paint from the paint bucket to the wall, Angouleme followed silently, and Louv also hurriedly started taking action.

"First of all, this is where I will conduct the grass trial for you. The trial is scheduled to last for seven days. We will tie you to the newly moved delivery table in the center of the room.

This is because during the trial, the unparalleled pain will make you struggle ferociously and wildly, and make earth-shattering screams. This is why we are now painting with sound-absorbing paint, so as not to disturb the neighbors. "

"Boss, I can bear it!" Lu Fu said loudly.

Victor's voice was calm and firm, "No! You can't, believe me, you will scream as helplessly as a girl turns into a woman, or as pitifully as a woman turns into a mother.

The pain in your screams would scare the bravest of men. Although they are all written in books and I have never seen them or encountered them, I think they are of great reference value. "

Luv acquiesced, did not argue, and continued working.

"And what you will gain after experiencing such pain, as I said yesterday, is a long life, eternal youth, powerful strength, and extraordinary five senses. I believe this should be enough to solve your troubles."

"Yes! Boss, it must be enough."

“After the trial is successful, in return, you must let me observe and study your body without causing permanent harm.

And even if you fail, you agree that I can dissect your body and confirm the cause of death and the reason for the failure. "

"I understand." Lu Fu nodded repeatedly.

The three people worked together and quickly painted the entire wall. The color of the sound-absorbing paint was black. The entire black color made the room a little weird.

Without stopping, several people moved directly to the other wall and continued.

"Okay, be sure to answer the next questions truthfully. Do you have any hidden diseases, or will you feel uncomfortable eating seafood? Are there any elders in your family who suffer from heart pain?

In addition, in the past fifteen days, apart from the wound medicine and tonics I gave you, have you taken any other medicine or alchemical decoction? These questions are very important. Think carefully before answering. "

"I don't have any other diseases. I won't feel uncomfortable eating seafood, and none of my elders have heart pain." Lu Fu answered quickly, and then paused the painting action on his hand.

After hesitating for a while, he continued to paint, "I'm sorry, I secretly drank the energy soup source. I saw the water bottle you added to the water bottle for everyone to drink. I know that it is good for the body and can make myself stronger. I'm sorry. "

When Angoulin heard this, he was immediately furious and his eyebrows were about to explode, but Victor looked at her and shook his head.

His voice was gentle and calm, and the paint brush in his hand did not stop.

"It doesn't matter, keep talking, what else?"

Luv whispered back, "Nothing else."

"Well, that's no problem. The energy soup will not affect the grass trial. It should be said that if you drink it, it will increase the success rate to some extent.

Don't be so sad, I can understand that if it were me, carrying a blood feud, being taken to the blacksmith shop by a boss who didn't know good and evil, eager to seize the opportunity to become stronger, maybe he would do the same thing.

But to be honest, the energy soup only makes the body healthier and the exercise effect is better. If you get caught for it, it is not worth it. "

Lu Fu knelt down suddenly, "I'm sorry, I really have no other choice..."

"Stand up!" Victor said coldly: "I don't need you to apologize. We are connected by fate, and we each get what we need.

Master Kalkstein is right. When I made the potion, I really wanted to know whether it would be successful, and I also wanted to find someone to test it... I hope that the second half of his prediction would not come true. "

At this point, Victor did not continue. What is the prophecy in the second half? Louv didn't dare to ask, and Angouleme didn't ask either.

The Skellige boy stood up gingerly and continued painting.

…

At night, the room with four black walls and even the ceiling is painted, and the oil lamps are hung with candles and are brightly lit.

Luf was tied to the delivery table in the center of the room. Of course, this was not a real delivery table, but the overall shape was quite similar.

Its function is to hold Luv firmly in place to prevent his crazy struggle from hurting himself or others. Since it was a temporary need and I couldn't find the right equipment at the moment, I went to Lame Kate to get this delivery table.

Don't ask lame Kate why she has a birthing table, that's for fun, and don't ask why Victor knows about it, that's a secret.

In short, Victor was the main force, and Angouleme was the assistant, and they tied the Skellige boy firmly to the chair.

Victor stood next to the delivery table and narrowed his eyes at the immobile subject: "Luff, this is the last chance, the last chance to regret.

I want to remind you again that you will suffer for seven days. And I want to warn you, the success rate is estimated to be between 40% and 50%, not higher.

Once it fails, death on the spot is the most fortunate, and it is more likely to be paralysis, deformity or dementia. No matter which one, you will be my experimental subject and will be disposed of soon after the test is completed. "

In the dark room, the flickering firelight shone on Victor's face, a mixture of light and dark, and his voice was cold.

"Really...I sincerely want to remind you once again that you still have a choice.

As long as you say no now, I will let you go.

Of course, because the mutual trust has been destroyed, I can't take you back to the blacksmith shop, but I will indeed let you go. I can even sponsor you with a bag of crowns to make your life safe for a short time.

We finally met by chance, and you haven't done any actual harm to me. As long as you say no, and say no now, I will let you go. "

When he said this, Victor looked at Luv's face carefully for the first time. When they first met, his face was seriously injured due to friction with the deck. After that, the alchemist never cared about him.

But now if you look closely, you can see that he has a straight face and a clear face. A few scars have not affected his handsomeness. This appearance may really have "the destiny of the protagonist".

Lu Fu nodded firmly, "I'm sure! I don't regret it, I'm going to do the grass trial!"

"Hmm...shall I give you a nickname and a nickname?"

The boss's magical turn made Louv's eyes dull, but Angoulin was used to it and knew that the leader was sick again.

"From now on, you will be called 'Luff' and nicknamed 'Straw Hat'. Believe me, it won't take long after you give this name. You will pass the Trial of Green Grass, become a witcher, return to your hometown for revenge, marry your beloved girl, and embark on a new journey." At the peak of your life, let her know how brave you have become. Isn’t it exciting to think about it?”

Angoulin rubbed his nose and remained silent. Rouf smiled bitterly, "Okay! My name is Rouf."

Victor picked up a bowl of green auxiliary potion and brought it to Rufu's mouth, "Then, drink it and start heading to the Great Channel!"

After feeding the oral medicine, Victor inserted the catheter into his arm. The air was trembling, and the 'new green herbal medicine' was silently injected into the blood vessels. Wherever it passed, the green medicine and red blood mixed into brown and black. Rufu suddenly began to twitch and tremble. , that is the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Signaling Angouleme to stuff the towel into his roaring mouth, Victor steadily poured the herbal medicine into his limbs.

A mysterious stench suddenly filled the room. It turned out that Rufu was incontinent from the pain and fully returned to his original self.

The alchemist smiled bitterly and was speechless. This was the first time he really lacked experience. He should prepare laxatives for the subject and let him dispose of them beforehand.

Having said that, this scene is really spectacular and terrible, but if it is not cleaned up, it will cause cross-infection. Fortunately, he only needs to clean it up once, and then he will have nothing to discharge.

…

After cleaning up and returning to the delivery table, Victor observed the subject carefully and said to Angouleme, who was standing next to him: "It's okay. The rejection reaction in the first stage was not obvious and there was no immediate death. Look. The name Ruf really brings good luck.

Ah! He is worthy of being the man who wants to become the ‘Pirate King’. "

The group members glanced at the group leader sideways and ignored his nonsense.

Victor continued to explain: "He is breaking out in a cold sweat and his face is slightly blue. This is the first stage of the herbal medicine, which opens up the limits of human body functions.

This process is the most painful, because it is difficult for a person to break through his own limits, but he must break through within three days, otherwise his body will collapse. "

The girl was shocked and turned to look at the boy. His expression was serious.

“Then it takes two days for the body to bind to the mutagen, and two days for normal function after binding.

He'll get through this first phase, his willpower looks strong and the story is clearly touching. "

Angoulin smiled and said, "Do you want to listen? I can tell you briefly."

"No! I don't want to know. Knowing too much about the subjects will affect my ability to maintain a good mood and make correct judgments.

Let's go, we can only let him endure it by himself, there is nothing we can do. "

"I thought someone needed to guard him?"

"No, seeing him suffer without being able to do anything makes him feel bad. This process is lonely.

There are only two possibilities for him to regain consciousness, one is to succeed in the trial and open his eyes as a witcher, the other is to fail completely and have final awakening before death.

The fastest time to succeed in the trial is seven days, and failure in the trial may occur at any time.

So let's go eat dumplings, I want to eat dumplings today. "

He drove Angoulan out of the door first, and before leaving, Victor took one last look at the Skellige boy who was still struggling and whimpering.

"Come on! Straw Hat Ruf!"
