Witcher's Atelier

"Spikruger Island" is located in the northwest of the archipelago, across the Erenke Strait and facing the Great Skellige Island.

It may not be the most popular tourist destination in the archipelago, but its unique charm is hard to resist. On the south and west shores of the island, the snow-capped peaks are a particularly beautiful scenery on the island.

Travelers who like fighting are also suitable to visit Spekruger Island. There is a famous arena in the village of "Hofer" in the north of the island, where local warriors test their strength, and the famous "Supreme Champion" accepts the challenge here.

To the south of the arena is the village of "Svareg" ruled by the Blokval family. The village is located on a beautiful bay, and the Bayetin Festival holds a feast in the summer, which is the best time to visit.

There is a primitive wilderness in the south of Svaleg, which is the main hunting ground of the Brokval family. If you have little travel experience, you should not go there. The area is primitive, wild, uninhabited, and full of all kinds of dangerous creatures (see the "Fauna and Flora" chapter for details). Be especially careful when traveling near the caves along the island's coast.

——"Spike Krueger's Guide to the Lonely World"

…

Lord of the Brokval family. "Udarek", the lord's longhouse as the center of his rule, is not only located at the highest place in Svaleg Village, but also the tallest building on Spekrug Island.

This morning, Catherine in the sky passed over the longhouse, an eagle roared, and below it, Angouleme. Corleone. The chief thug of the Phantom Troupe is squatting on the ridge of the roof, observing the world with her ability temporarily named "Eagle Vision".

Her original crisis intuition became very strong, super strong, so strong that she couldn't believe it.

The girl can now instinctively feel the connection between people and objects and herself, which appears as a colored glow, like a halo seen with one's mind's eye.

Various colored lights mark different people or objects. Red represents enemies or spilled blood; blue represents allies; white represents information sources or hiding spots, and gold represents targets or suspects.

Although she could judge hostility in the past, that was all, but now this sixth sense has obviously expanded her business scope.

She could "see" through the roof regardless of the occlusion. The blue glow symbolized by Swaanit and Caris in the room, their silhouettes were still sleeping; while the druid "Yote" who emitted a white glow was brewing medicine. The villager Bedora was feeding Nai, and Eric was mending the fishing nets; while the golden Lord Udarek was restless in the room, cutting his own arm with a knife from time to time.

There are no secrets in my field! ?

Such unreasonable and overbearing detection ability certainly did not arise out of thin air. If we want to trace the cause, we have to start from the time we went to Indalsfell Island.

On the boat that day, when Victor returned the magic-enchanted armor to her, his words still rang in her ears, "Bastard! The leader always gives you the best, and this time is no exception!"

"Then what did you attach to this armor for me?"

"Potential enhancement and attack and defense enhancement. The latter makes you stronger in swinging the sword and your defense is more stable. The former can slightly stimulate your potential, if you have it."

Shortly after that, during the werewolf battle with Morkvarg, she vaguely realized that she could "see" the blue light of her companions, but she did not connect it to the effect of the armor at the time.

Later, as her experience gradually increased and she gradually figured out the meaning of the glow, now as long as she puts on the armor, everything will be invisible to her eagle vision, even some things she herself is not aware of. Sixth Sense will also guide her in the direction.

For example, Angouleme didn't notice the color red, which symbolizes the enemy, when she first arrived on the island. However, after squatting on the roof for two days and attracting people's attention, she has now "seen" several people with malicious intentions. They are all red. The glow is so bright and outstanding among the crowd! It's like a firefly in the dark that you can't even see.

Of course, the girl is not just luring the snake out of the hole, but more importantly, being at the commanding heights allows her to relax with a wide field of vision. Her mind can see further. The detection range on flat ground is about thirty yards, but squatting here, she can "See" four times one hundred and twenty yards.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the bad guys silently, Caris with a blue glow was already shouting from downstairs: "Angouleme, come down quickly, we should set off today!"

Remembering those red-glow bad guys, the girl stood up and jumped directly off the building with an elegant posture. Her intuition guided her three positions to kick the wall, telling her that if she followed the prompts, she would ensure a smooth landing.

However, this falling movement frightened the little sparrowhawk so much that he took two steps forward to catch Angouleme, but he could have landed gracefully, but in the end the two of them fell into a ball.

Siwani, who was standing next to her, shook her head, helped the sisters up with one hand on each side, and said to Caris: "Next time, don't worry about Yatou jumping off the building. She scared me like this yesterday. She has a talent for judging the landing point. , it would be dangerous for you to pick her up.”

Angoulin said cheerfully, "It doesn't matter, I'm glad she cares about me, so where are we going to investigate today?"

Reaching out to brush off the dust on his clothes, the little sparrowhawk punched the girl's butt hatefully, "According to the intelligence collected, the person to whom Udarek was murmuring an apology was mainly his dead brother Aki. I suspect it was evil. Being haunted by spirits has made him nervous, so today we went to the ancestral home of the Brokva family to see if there is any relevant information. "

Hearing the latest progress of Caris, Angoulin's expression suddenly became a little strange. He touched the bag of tips in his arms and muttered to himself: "Isn't it... is the prophet really that magical?"

With random thoughts in her mind, the girl followed her sisters to the outside of the village. Passing by the bulletin board, she habitually stopped and looked at the content.

…

"The enemy will not sleep"

The guards warned us that there might be spies from Nilfgaard and the Northern Kingdoms around, and anyone suspicious was to be brought to the lord.

──Udarek. install. Brokva

…

"The Execution of Vangar"

Vangal, who is known as the blasphemer, because he insulted the great mother. The goddess Freya has been sentenced to death. His tongue was burned in the temple fire, and his mouth was fed to serpents. Anyone who dares to speak dirty words against our Heavenly Mother needs to be warned.

──Council of Elders

…

At the same time that Angoulan was looking at the announcement, he was at the Todaroqu Forge on Udvik Island south of Spikerug.

Due to the chaos caused by the ice giants, this place has been completely deserted and uninhabited. What is even more terrifying is that the giants also regard the forge as a "food storage warehouse", so a large number of remains are hooked with anchors and hung in the hall to dry.

And the prophet that the girl talks about. Victor was currently lying in the lounge of the foundry, which was luckily not destroyed.

Opening his eyes, the boy stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. After a few hours of good sleep, he finally escaped from the state of exhaustion.

It should have been a good idea to rush through the mine passages all night long, but unexpectedly, the recent unlimited supply of sumptuous meals attracted the visit of "scavengers", and they became even more active at night.

These ugly and humanoid creatures are quite aggressive. Their skin is composed of rotten muscles and tough bones. Although they feed on corpses, they don't mind tasting fresh meat if they encounter living people. They can run at a speed of up to Comparable to horses.

If that's all it is, it's okay. It can be considered an enhanced version of the ghoul at most. The problem is that the body of the rotten demon is full of venom and will emit poisonous gas. It is even effective against people like witchers who are immune to most poisons.

And before they are injured and on the verge of death, they will self-destruct and spray out the essence of their entire body... If they are not careful, they will be sprayed all over, and 90% of those who are hit will die immediately.

So at the beginning, the boy who knew he was powerful pulled the rogue around and ran away, leaving the Phantom Troupe in a bit of a panic as they were chased.

Fortunately, I discovered later that those poisonous gases are highly flammable. In a space with slow air circulation like a mine, it means that any spark is fatal to them. Once ignited, they will burn brightly.

Therefore, Victor's "Fire Strike" doesn't even require sword oil. It almost kills a rotten demon with one sword, and the stench on their bodies constantly betrays their ambush location.

Weiji dual-wielded torches to provide lighting and cover, forming a good combination. In this way, wearing masks and drinking Oriole potion, they finally broke through the mine before midnight and stumbled into the foundry.

Then they found the un-destroyed lounge, and almost as soon as the door was closed, the two fell asleep.

"Tch! It's really terrible... I didn't expect there to be so many rotten demons." The boy who woke up blinked his eyes and muttered to himself, as if he could still smell the stench from last night in his nostrils.

Jumping off the bed, instead of kicking the scoundrel awake and giving him a little more sleep, the young man then had to seize the time and empty the forging tools in the forge, especially the few items designated by Yuna.

Basic tool, a tool used to directly deform the blank.

Auxiliary tools are used to clamp, turn and move blanks or forgings, such as various clamps.

The final measuring tools are tools for measuring the size or shape of blanks and forgings, such as rulers, calipers, templates, etc.

But I’d better fill my stomach before starting work.

Sitting on the edge of the snowy cliff, enjoying breakfast, the usual spirit soup and potatoes while looking at the scenery, you can see the wilderness and the sky opening up. It must have been a good tourist attraction before the giants appeared.

"I have seen how majestic and majestic the snow-capped mountains are. How should I expect the snow-capped mountains to see me?"

After having a full meal and doing morning exercises, Victor returned to the foundry and began to move. He removed the tools designated by Yuna and put herbal bags away as long as he felt that they might be useful.

"It should be noted that since ancient times, not taking advantage of the villagers has been an essential virtue for the brave!"

While moving things, the boy planned his next trip in his mind. Originally, when he broke into the foundry yesterday, he was mentally prepared to transform into a bomb superman and fire "honeycomb" in succession, because his past life memory said that there was an ice troll to fight here.

But the result was calm, except for the cruelty that the hall was still used as a food storage warehouse, and no monsters appeared.

So after I finish moving my things, I wake up Wei Ji, then take the plank road down the mountain to "Dofu" to meet Halma, and finally march into the ice giant's lair, and join forces to eliminate harm to the people, and win the "Giant Killer" " title.

Although the demon slayer is pretty good, the giant slayer is indeed more powerful.

After spending a lot of time, he finally cleared his tools and made a plan. Victor, who was supposed to leave, stood in the hall for a moment.

Close your eyes, then open them.

Sure enough, the remains still had to be removed and cremated, they shouldn't be left hanging like this.

While he was carrying the body, he didn't notice that the water in the cup on the table was rippling in circles.

…

Spikerug Island. Mountain behind Svareg. The ancestral home of the Brockvar family.

This ancestral house has been abandoned for a long time. The wind and snow outside the house occasionally pour in from the gaps, and the wooden boards under the feet are squeaking.

Angoulin brushed his hair and said, "My dear, we have come in here. Can you tell us what we are looking for here?"

Caris turned around and spread her hands, "We are going to find a sword here."

"A sword, why is that sword so important?" Swaani asked blankly.

The little sparrowhawk was speechless for a while, but in retrospect, during the past few days on the island, he was the only one who really worked hard to investigate. Her two good sisters, Swaani has never been interested in these, but the wild man who is supposed to be a good assistant is not as smart as usual, wandering around the streets all day long, or squatting on the roof to blow the wind. They didn't know what was going on, so the two of them really didn't know what they were looking for when they ran to the ancestral house.

After sorting out her thoughts, she began to explain seriously: "The sword's name is Brokva, and it is the ancestral sword of the Udarek family. Remember what I just said, the cause of the grudge between Udarek and his brother Aki is This sword.

Originally, according to custom, the family sword should be passed to the eldest son, Udarek, but his father instead handed Brokvale to his younger brother Aki. "

Swaney touched her chin and sighed: "Wow! In Skellige, this is a great insult."

The little Sparrowhawk nodded, "It was so serious that Udaric was willing to break the sacred law, and he openly questioned his father's decision. For this, he was chained to a pillar and submerged in the sea from the waist down for three days.

After the punishment was over, the old lord believed that working hard together at sea could bridge the gap between the two brothers. Send him and Aki out to sea to fish.

Going to sea has settled many disputes among the Skellige people, but unfortunately it failed miserably.

A sudden storm struck, and Aki fell into the sea in the chaos. Udarek was busy holding the sail, and by the time he heard his brother's cry for help, it was already too late. "

Angoulin leaned against the wall and narrowed his eyes, "Did you not hear it, or did you not want to hear it?"

"Some islanders have the same misgivings, but no one dares to speak openly about it. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I do think that whatever happened that day, Udarak was deeply affected by it. And probably with the sword. related."

Angoulin: "Okay, let's go back to the starting point, Caris, why do you want to get that sword?"

"I think Aki's ghost might want the sword back. For as long as I can remember, the islanders have said that Udarek is the chosen one and that the gods will talk to him. I used to believe that, but look at the situation now , I think it's haunted, by the ghost of his brother."

Swani showed a thoughtful expression, "I have heard since I was a child that he can receive the voice of God, but now it is suddenly explained as a ghost. Do you think it is logical?"

"I don't care, I don't believe it's the gods talking, you've seen him too, he's covered in scars! I asked him why he was injured and he said his inner voice ordered him to harm himself for the glory of the gods.

I'm very skeptical of this argument. It makes no sense for the gods to ask him to harm himself, so I think it's not the gods but Aki. Perhaps it was Udarek's indifference to Aki that made the ghost want revenge now.

I spoke with Druid Yot, and he swore that Udarek started hearing these voices after Aki's death. I think Yot was right, he had known the brothers since they were children.

All in all, I think if Brokvag could be given to Aki, maybe he would let Udarek go. "

Finally, the explanation was completed, and Caris believed that both partners could understand her thinking.

Suddenly, the person next to him clapped his hands twice, attracting the attention of the little sparrowhawk. Angoulin put his hand into his arms and said, "Okay, dear, I have all the elements I need to know. If we are really following You might have a good idea about dealing with ghosts, but I want you to read this book first.

This is the bookmarked page I borrowed from Archdruilmia. It may be of some help to you. "

This turn was too steep, and Caris was a little dumbfounded, but she still reached out and took the book. "Behind the Veil of Mystery" was written neatly on the top of the cover.

This is a book introducing rare monsters from another world.
