Witcher's Atelier

Located at the southernmost tip of the Skellige Archipelago, Faroe Island is the most pristine and uninhabited island. Seasoned travelers who love natural wilderness must not miss it. The island's vibrant scenery is full of charm.

Of course, there will also be many inconveniences in being uninhabited. The only exception is the village of the "Diemen Family" - the port of "Harviken", which allows adventure-seeking travelers to leave a wonderful travel experience here.

If you happen to encounter a family warrior who has just returned from overseas robbery, the village will hold a feast for them that lasts for several days after the loot is divided equally. This is a rare opportunity to taste local delicacies and observe local customs.

See the "Feasts and Festivals" chapter for details.

──"Guide to the Lonely World of Faroe Island"

…

In the evening, the ship docked. Standing on the deck, you could see the grand campfire in the center of the town. Weggie glanced at it and concluded: "They are lucky. They just came back from grabbing a ticket. They are indeed the poorest family. After winter, other people will The family usually rarely travels far.”

Angouleme held the travel guide in his hand and pointed to the part about feasts and festivals, "So now in the past they would treat guests to dinner?"

"Yes, now is the time when they are the friendliest. That bastard of Black Hand is too dark. When he attacks the enemy family, he shows no mercy to the village or the ship. It's like attacking a bastard in black. But the Dimen family is too poor. , They can't get anything if they counterattack, so no one usually messes with them," Weiji explained while lowering the anchor.

The girl turned her head to look at Victor. The young man rubbed the new stubble on his chin, "Okay, then come and accept their hospitality tonight! Weiji, please make arrangements for the crew. Thank you for your hard work."

"No problem! Sir, no... Captain, please feel free to leave it to me." The rogue assured him by patting his chest.

"Have some fun and meet back at noon tomorrow."

…

The banquet on Faroe Island is very lively. In terms of nature, it can be regarded as a kind of harvest festival...with enough wine and meat, just like the elf celebration in the floating harbor forest. And judging from the types of wine bottles, they this time It should be to grab Nilfgaard.

Victor met the local ruler Hogg. He was chatting and drinking with several warriors from his family. Except for the fact that he was blind in one eye and had a darker skin color on his arms due to frostbite, he looked no different from any of the warriors around the campfire.

But as soon as he got a little closer to the lord, the young man could feel countless sharp eyes staring at him, so he stopped, bowed slightly and said loudly, "Hogg, Lord of the Dimen family, Duwakein Victor Corleone Greetings to you.”

"Duwaqin!?"

The title in the juvenile newspaper caused a slight commotion among the people around him.

"The stranger who has crossed the path of the warrior, the new champion of the Fists of Wrath?"

"Have you heard of that guy killing a brown bear with his bare hands..."

"It's impossible! It's absolutely fake. How could anyone do that?"

Old Gunnar didn't seem to be bragging. Even in this remote place, the Dragonborn's propaganda of bravery could already make him hear whispers.

Looking at the young man with his single eye open, Hogg raised his hand to signal to a young man next to him. The man walked up to Victor knowingly and spread his hands, "Habjorn of the Dimen family, it is an honor to meet him. Dragonborn, guest?”

The young man smiled, took off his sword and put it into the young man's hand, "Yes, guest, and this letter is for you from Alan Lugo."

After handing over the sword and the letter of introduction, most of the surrounding hostility disappeared instantly, and Victor went directly to the chair next to Hogg and sat down.

"What's going on? Is there a letter for me?" Black Hand observed with his remaining black eyes, picked up the entire leg of cow and handed it to the boy.

Giving him Madman Lugo's letter, Victor took the leg of beef and started biting it. He also turned sideways and brought a pot of pepper vodka from the feet of the person next door.

Just by the firelight, he read the letter ten lines at a time. Hogg looked at Duwakein who was devouring the food next to him with a strange expression. He thought about it and said, "Enjoy the banquet first. Come to my longhouse to warm up by the fire in the evening, and then we will talk about you." The problem?"

"I am very honored."

…

Late at night, the carnival pauses, or rather changes places.

Unlike the Tulsi Qu or the Quite family, which have obvious palace complexes, the lord's longhouse where Hogg lives is more spacious and warmer than the environment where civilians live, but there is no essential difference. It is also made of masonry. with thatched roof.

Victor was sitting in the hall warming himself by the fire. With his keen ears, he could vaguely hear the sounds of human movement. From the frequency and intensity, it could be concluded that Black Hand was in good health. It lasted for so long that Angouleme, who was opposite him, was already salivating. He fell asleep on the kang.

There was no feeling of impatience at all. He took out a few pieces of Siren's vocal cords from the herbal bag and put them in his hands. The boy closed his eyes and immersed himself in meditation, feeling the gift that Corleone left for him in parting.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and Black Hand walked out of the back room, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Victor."

Opening his eyes, the boy returned the smile, "It's okay, although it did make me wait long enough."

With a smug chuckle, the lord sat down cross-legged without any airs, took out the letter and shook it, "Duwaken, I want to ask you, are everything in Lugo's letter true?"

Hearing Hogg's question, Victor suddenly became alert. He was trained by Dandelion too many times. He must not admit it casually at this time. Who knows what the mad lord wrote in the letter? What if he made a prank and said that the Dragonborn came here to farm and sow, then that would be okay...

"I haven't seen the content of the letter, so I can't give you a definite reply. This letter of introduction is to help little Lugo pass the dream trial. The lord said it can save a lot of trouble and handed it to me, but I think it's better to explain it in person. It’s more appropriate.”

"Hahaha! What an alert dragonborn, but don't think too much about it. The letter is all about praising you, but the praise is a bit excessive and it's unbelievable." He said and handed the letter directly to the young man's hand.

After reading it quickly after spreading it out, Victor had to admit that he had been bitten by snakes too many times, and this time he was really worried.

Old Lugo mostly described himself based on what Little Lugo said, and because it happened in the dream world, his achievements were quite exaggerated. He even wrote on it that he chopped a plate armor warrior into two pieces with one sword... Fortunately, they didn't. I woke up and saw the hand-to-hand combat with "full special effects", otherwise I might have thought that Hamdol was resurrected.

Then he wrote about the purpose of the Dragonborn's trip to avenge himself, hoping that Hog. The black hand gives it a convenience and takes the pirates. Just let me know Hammond's location.

The young man silently handed back the letter, "The combat power is somewhat overrated. In the dream trial, you can exert stronger power; as for the other parts, it is indeed as stated in the letter."

After hearing the answer, Hogg stared at Victor's face with a strange expression, as if he wanted to see a flower on it, and then he shook his head, "Okay, Hammond is in 'Totterheim', leaving Halvey." Follow the road east, about two days' ride, and you'll see places you can't miss."

…

Two days later in the afternoon.

An eagle chirped across the sky and floated into the primeval jungle. The falcon landed gracefully and started talking to the girl in bird language that no one else could understand.

However, based on her talent in learning foreign languages, Victor did not believe that they were communicating in bird language. He understood this phenomenon as the body language of spiritual resonance, and Angouleme could only communicate with Catherine.

After saying a few words, she nodded towards the boy, "Yes, there are many people in the back mountain, not just the village in front of you."

Weggie looked at Angoulaine with envy: "As expected of the eldest sister, her falconry skills are really great!"

The complimented girl rubbed her nose proudly, but then turned back to the situation at hand, her expression not very optimistic, "Captain, isn't it too exciting this time? There are at least a hundred pirates, let the three of us deal with them, even if we have new weapons , I’m afraid it’s also very difficult... What do you think, Wei Ji?”

Later, when he saw Victor's serious face, Angoulin simply asked Weiji to express his opinion. The scoundrel who was named by the eldest sister also understood that now was the time to use his brain and thought carefully before speaking.

"It's probably...difficult."

Hearing his companion's thoughts, Victor was not angry, and his judgment was unmatchable.

"Tothheim", this village used to be famous throughout the Skellige Islands because it was all women and all the men died while going out to sea to rob. However, after being abandoned over time, it has now been renovated into a pirate base.

The entire village was built on the original foundation and is now surrounded by tall stone walls. The longhouses have been converted into cells. There are bonfires everywhere in the village, torches are bright, and guards patrol regularly. It is basically the prototype of a paramilitary organization.

Now recalling the strange expression on Black Hand's face that night in Halviken, the young man knew what it meant. It was a laugh at him for not overestimating his own abilities. "And there are many prisoners inside. We have to kill only the wounded without harming them." pirate……."

No wonder Hogg always said at the end of the chat that he could come back anytime if he needed help. When Habjorn said goodbye outside the village, he also said that if you need help, you are welcome.

It is estimated that the Lugos and his son exaggerated "Duwaquein" too much, making them want to see themselves make a joke, come back in high spirits, and go back in disgrace.

Fortunately, things are not what they used to be. Before going to the Cave of Dreams, he might have to take a roundabout way, but now, with the gift "Sound of Death" left to him by Corleone, he should be able to solve the problem recklessly.

After surveying the environment and retreating to the depths of the jungle, Victor set up a tent, set up a cauldron, and hung up the sign of the alchemy workshop. His confident look also infected his two companions.

Seeing that he had started stirring quietly, Angoulin was the first to speak: "Wick, can you deal with so many people?"

The stirring rod stopped for a moment, and Victor nodded, "Of course, the leader tells you, there is a saying in Bell Town, 'There is no problem that cannot be solved by explosion. If there is, it must be that the yield is not enough.' One hundred Many pirates are just like that, just blow them up and they're done."

After getting along for a little longer, Weiji dared to take the initiative to ask, "Captain, does it mean that the weight is not enough?"

"You can understand it this way!" Victor smiled enigmatically like a master of science and technology.

Angoulin covered her mouth with her hands to hold back laughter, because the leader's current smile was so obscene. Although she knew that it was very rude to describe it like this, she insisted on using this word every time the leader talked about the customs of Bell Town, or Serikania likes to laugh like this when it's a bad joke.

Besides, whenever he smiled like that, it meant someone was going to suffer misfortune, and luckily it wasn't her this time.

I saw the group leader stirring with one hand and placing two pieces of beef in front of the group members with the other hand. "Let's take a look. Do you know the difference between these two pieces of beef?"

Hearing the question, Weegee opened his eyes seriously and observed, while Angouleme didn't want to answer. Fortunately, Victor didn't really ask. It would be incredible for them to know.

He was full of confidence, stretched out his index finger and poked, "The void characteristic of the piece of beef on the left is "quality improvement". Throw it into the cauldron to make props together. When inheriting the characteristic, choose to activate it, which will slightly improve the quality of the finished product." promote.

As for the piece of beef on the right, its void characteristic is "increased destructive power". Activating the characteristic will slightly increase the effect of "attack props". As for the upper limit of enchantment transfer, I can currently activate two features for each item. "

After listening silently, Angouleme felt like he was petrified. Was the leader under too much pressure? Why is it that he seems to be particularly ill this time, holding two pieces of beef and talking nonsense?

"Wow! It turns out it's so powerful, what a great beef!" Weggie looked around excitedly, trying to see the difference.

Seeing Weiji's enthusiastic response again, the girl felt a little dizzy and her chest felt a little stuffy...

Some people cheered, and Victor continued to explain with a smile, "It doesn't matter, it's normal not to be able to see it. This is your leader's talent of 'listening to the sound of death'. As long as the alchemy materials originally belong to animal tissue fall into my hands, , will take the initiative to inform me of its hidden effects and void characteristics.”

"Oh oh oh! It's too strong!" The rogue looked very excited, "So every piece of beef has its own characteristics? Can the leader hear other sounds?"

"Good question! Weggie. Not every piece of beef has its own characteristics, and not every material can be heard. At present, I can only listen to the sound of death, but I have a hunch that I will hear more in the future, such as flowers, grass or ores. And the power of some rare characteristics will be far beyond your imagination!”

Although I didn’t quite understand it, it seemed really powerful. Weggie’s eyes widened with excitement.

And seeing the two men happily answering questions and answers, the girl suddenly felt sad. Unknowingly, her position as the king of stalkers was shaken! ? Shouldn't I be the one who trusts the leader the most?

After learning from the painful experience, she immediately took the initiative, "So, are we going to add these two pieces of beef to the blending of the devil dust, and finally activate those two properties to make an enhanced version of the devil dust?"

The young man patted the girl on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Yes, it's you as expected. You have got my marrow. At present, there are no better materials to make higher purity. Then use the 'void characteristic' to forcibly improve it. You can try it." s solution."
