Witcher's Atelier

Kratchi's daughter Caris, known to her friends as "Little Sparrowhawk", was lucky to inherit her father's brave, determined, shrewd and cautious character, not including his heroic appearance.

Today she wore soft wool armor and a fur collar, with metal plate shoulder guards fixed on the shoulder base of a simple blue skirt, and the sleeves of the skirt were also sewn with decorations.

A wide leather belt similar to the one her father wore was wrapped around her waist.

In addition, there was a bright red plaid shoulder strap across her chest, which was the symbol of the Quit family.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, when Caris stepped into the "New Harbor Tavern", the owner Jonas immediately recognized her identity and vaguely guessed her purpose. The princess of the Quit family suddenly visited, and the probability of coming to drink was not high. Most of them came for "Duwak'in".

The two people who entered the door with her were not ordinary people. Swani, the battle priest of the Sinda family, and Angulan of the Phantom Troupe were both well-known figures to the owner.

Leaving her companions in the hall, Caris ordered some food and drinks from the boss to greet them, then went straight up the stairs, walked through the corridor decorated with oak shields and embroidered tapestries, and came to the innermost guest room.

There was a wooden sign on the door, "Victor's Alchemy Workshop".

After a little hesitation, she pushed open the door and saw the figure of a young man stirring in front of a cauldron.

"......." When she came here, she was not in a good mood. She planned to make a first impression when she entered the door, but when she saw him, her anger strangely disappeared and she didn't know what to say.

Victor looked up and saw her, smiled and waved, "Good morning, little sparrowhawk, you look very good in this outfit today."

"Is... is it?"

Coughing twice to hide her faint joy, Caris walked to the chair next to the cauldron and sat down. There were empty cups and blueberry juice on the coffee table. She found that the arrangement was so thoughtful, and she was immediately angry again.

"I asked Angouleme to come to me early in the morning and said that he wanted to talk to me alone. Come on!"

"... You don't seem very happy. What's wrong?"

"How come you feel so good when you think of what you are about to tell me?"

The boy raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt that this sentence was familiar. Are you talking about breaking up now? The problem is that they are obviously not dating.

"Do you know what I want to tell you?"

"Of course, isn't it to persuade me not to go to Spiekeroog Island?"

"Well, that's a small part, since you know it all.

Can you not go to the Brokvar family?"

"No!" Little Sparrowhawk answered firmly.

The boy yawned nonchalantly, "Got it, now let's talk about more important things."

Victor gave up so readily that Caris felt awkward, "Wait... you just accept it so straightforwardly? Don't say a few more words?"

"Anyway, you won't listen to my advice, but I promised your father, so I still have to ask. As for your insistence, I expected it."

Hearing the boy's answer, the little sparrowhawk suddenly felt that his previous dissatisfaction was stupid. The guy in front of him was the one who clenched his fist to encourage him to stand out at the critical moment last night. Of course, he could understand his mood.

"Sorry, I didn't have a good attitude just now. I saw you talking to Krachi from the balcony last night. I thought you would listen to him and strongly stop him..."

"It doesn't matter. I don't feel uncomfortable, but to be honest, Krachi is your father. His worries are natural and should not be blamed. You should know that he loves you very much. Most of our conversations are about you."

Hearing Victor say this, Caris was a little discouraged. She picked up the pottery pot and filled herself with juice and drank most of it in one breath.

The young man did not comfort her, but continued to stir the cauldron, "Now let's continue to talk about more important things.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Tell me, apart from the feeling of not wanting to admit defeat, have you ever thought about what kind of life you would give to the islanders if you became king?"

The little sparrowhawk suddenly raised his head and stared at the alchemist with a sharp gaze.

"Bran An. Turshiqu, nicknamed 'The Conqueror', is generally considered by the Skellige people to have an honorable and respectable rule.

But in my opinion, he prefers plundering to solving the long-standing problems of the archipelago, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, or the hatred between families. In addition, he indulged Birna too much and neglected to educate his successor Svanrej.

Perhaps he kept going to sea to fight because he was powerless to do anything about the above situations and could only continue to use external wars to divert internal conflicts.

But frankly speaking, by the standards of Bell Town, he is not even a qualified leader. Only the islanders of Skellige can accept him and even give him high praise."

She went from being stunned to shaking her head and smiling, "If you dare to say these words outside, you will definitely be beaten up."

He was generous and arrogant, "I will not admit that I said the words just now when I leave this door."

Caris looked at Victor with bright eyes.

"In fact, you know all this without me telling you. Even if you get the support of the Brokvar family, it only makes you eligible to compete. And in the end, no one can take that position without the approval of the head of the Quet family, so it is meaningless to be angry with Krach.

Halmar is a charismatic, responsible and brave successor. Everyone can see that his future rule will not be inferior to King Bran. For the country of Skellige, he is a great option.

So I suggest that you have a good talk with Krach before helping 'Udarek', so that he can discover your advantages that are different from Halmar, your calm and meticulous thinking, your imagination of governing as a worthy king, and your vision for the future of the archipelago.

'Sparkrug Island Trip', I will lend you Angulan, and with Swani in charge, I believe your safety is guaranteed. Unless it is an unkillable monster like Mokwag, it will be difficult for the three of you to fall into danger. "

The little sparrowhawk's expression suddenly dimmed, "Wait... aren't you going with me?"

"Do you want me to help you?" The boy asked in confusion.

As soon as the words came out, Caris had figured it out by herself. Victor could not participate in this matter, and she had to rely on herself.

Solve the problem with the Dragonborn, and the glory belongs to Duwakin.

"Thank you for your guidance... Without you, it might take me a long time to figure it out."

"You're welcome. Without me, you will figure it out sooner or later, it just takes more time."

Leaving the chair, the little sparrowhawk walked to the boy and turned his face towards her with both hands.

"You will help my brother to defeat the giant, right?"

"Yes, I promised Krachi to help my brothers and sisters."

She kissed him.

"Take good care of Hjalmar, this is my thank you... deposit. "

"If you want to kiss me, don't make excuses."

...

The next morning, Caris, Swanny and Angulan took a boat to Spiekeroog Island, aiming to rescue Lord Udarek of the Brokvar family.

In the afternoon, the butler Arneward delivered the materials specified by the boy to "Victor's Alchemy Workshop" and handed over a short note from Krach, which had only two words on it, "Thank you." ”

The short text does not require a reply. He accepted the alchemical materials and sent Yarnward away. He continued to verify the various properties of the materials.

Ever since Corleone's gift allowed Victor to hear the voice of death, "void characteristics" has been his key collection item. Unfortunately, unlike the fairy tale world, there are very few materials with characteristics in the demon hunting world. Although it may be the restriction of the voice of death, it makes the boy more eager to listen to other categories after his strength is improved.

His current posture is to hold the biological tissue with one hand to listen, and stir the bomb materials with the other hand.

He stepped up the blending of weapons such as honeycombs, dancing stars, and demon dust that have powerful lethality to living things. It is because of the actual situation of "Udvik Island", he I will not be blindly optimistic, and I must prepare for the worst.

Although the real reason for the collapse of the Toda Luoqu family's rule was the severe frost disaster, the attacks of the ice giants, ice trolls and female sea monsters could completely defeat these self-proclaimed brave warriors. Obviously, the overall number of monsters is not small, and it may turn into a long-term war depending on the situation.

So now that the Quite family is paying for it, try to fill the herbal bag with reserve supplies, spare weapons, and bombs of sufficient equivalent.

The door opened and the person who came in was Viji. Since the Dragonborn announced his participation in the war, the loyalty of the members to the leader has exceeded the upper limit, and the enthusiasm made the teenager a little embarrassed.

"Leader, Halma and the others have confirmed the departure time, which is tomorrow morning."

"So soon, how many warriors are there in total? How many ships?"

"Two hundred warriors, five long ships, and the weapons and equipment are all the best! "

The rogue said it happily, but Victor frowned when he heard it.

What bothered him was that there seemed to be a big gap between reality and memory. After all, if the scale remained the same, it was hard to understand how 200 warriors would lose and only three people would die.

What was even more exaggerated was that these three people then cooperated with the witcher to turn the tables and deal with the ice giant. No matter how you think about it, this result is very dreamy and can only be attributed to the exaggeration of the game?

"Captain, what's going on? Is there something wrong? "Vicky asked, noticing the boy's expression.

After the professional training of Angouleme, he now thinks about things in more directions, and the captain's face is undoubtedly an important reference.

Seeing the worried look of the team members, patting him on the shoulder, Victor smiled with relief.

It doesn't matter, the incredible alchemy is to turn the impossible into the possible.

...

Udvik Island, located in the west of Great Skellig Island, was once prosperous and was the second most popular island in the archipelago, especially the foundry of the Todaloqu family, which was famous for producing high-quality armor.

In addition, the island's excellent geographical location, beautiful scenery and delicious local delicacies have attracted a large number of tourists to visit.

Unfortunately, first there was a terrible climate change, and then the terrible ice giant woke up from hibernation and led the monsters to invade in a large scale, destroying and destroying everything that moves. Now Udvik has become an evil Beast Paradise.

After this unfortunate incident, many places issued official orders warning residents to avoid going there.

However, the island has attracted many different types of tourists, no longer families who want to relax, but brave warriors seeking adventure, mercenaries who want to earn the bounty of giants, or even curious guys who just want to see this amazing creature with their own eyes.

Although the opportunity to see this creature is indeed very rare, we still recommend that those who want to go to Udvik Island postpone their journey until the situation improves, or change their plans to go to other charming islands in Skellige. After all, being disemboweled by ice giants is not a pleasant experience.

- "Guide to the Lonely World of Udvik Island"

……

Departing from Keldra Port, after a few days of sailing, the Thousand Suns carrying Victor and Viggie followed the five longships led by Hjalmar and approached the sea off Udvik Island.

Vicky pointed to the port not far away, "Captain, this is the Marlin Coast. We used to go in and out here. The 'Old Harbor Tavern' that Jonas used to run is at the end of the buildings in front."

Victor nodded and pointed to the sky, "You used to go in and out with the sirens in the sky?"

The Marlin Coast in front of him has become a breeding ground for "mermaids". These three-dimensional creatures with fish tails and wings are distant relatives of the man-faced monster birds. The Phantom Troupe once lured and killed many of them on the Warrior Road to make dragon roar potions.

"Captain, don't joke. They are all new monsters that suddenly appeared. In the past, this place was a habitat for seagulls. Now I don't know where they have migrated to..."

"The mermaids flying all over the sky are really spectacular!"

Observing that the five ships of Hjalmar had no intention of slowing down and sailed straight to the dock where the sirens gathered, Victor continued to follow them and took out the potion for use without panic.

As expected, when they sailed close enough, "Moo... Woo..." A huge and majestic horn sounded from the ship in front, which faintly vibrated the eardrums but was not uncomfortable.

But this sound, which had little effect on people, caused the flying sirens in the air to fall one after another within the transmission range.

Viji said in shock: "Is this the legendary 'Horn of the Horn of the Wall Beast'!? It is said that as long as it is blown, the nearby sirens will fall to the ground. It is worthy of being the treasure of the Quet family."

Blow down the sirens in the air, then shoot them with bows and crossbows or stab them with spears. The 200 warriors on the five ships in front worked together and basically maintained an unharmed advance.

Victor was not surprised by this result. From the gradual scarcity of witch hunters, most areas are still ruled by humans, which proves that there are enough ways to deal with monsters. So if Halma doesn't even have this method, there is no need to talk about eradicating giants. It is better to retreat early.

As for this artifact horn, Victor also had an impression of it. It was a very interesting toy. It was not as exaggerated as the dragon roar, but it could achieve the same effect. I don't know why it worked. Maybe it was because the frequency was just right?

He touched his chin, and thought about borrowing it from Harma to play with it later and making a replica in private.

However, the smoother it was, the more alert the boy became. Although he didn't know how the expedition team failed, he was sure that if it failed now, there would be no world protagonist. Witcher Geralt to come to the rescue.
