Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 189 Happy times are always short

Pontal River, boats going upstream, deck gossip──

Victor punched his left palm, "Let's call the store Utopia!"

Angoulin made a face and said, "I don't want to! A store with that name must have a bad business. I had already thought about it and called it Girls' Generation!"

"..., with this name... you will definitely be accused!"

"By whom?" She raised her hand and asked Kathleen to lower the arm guard.

Love without memory is just an illusory dream that will eventually turn into nothing. Only philosophy is eternal.

──Utopia. Signage at the entrance──

Kaer Morhen's alchemy laboratory. When she came here a few years ago, Triss was curious about the Trial of Grass and wanted to explore the secrets of the witchers, but Vesemir did not open this place to her at that time.

But this time, the sorceress didn't care about the so-called formula, and the witcher also didn't care and opened the place for her to prepare potions to treat Geralt's amnesia symptoms.

It is said that last year, a young witcher apprentice developed several enhanced versions of magic potions here. Therefore, the bottles and jars in the laboratory, the stills and kilns are all maintained like new and are functioning well in Triss's hands.

"You go to the bowl of mushrooms next to it, add some horse dung stones and mash it, then add dog fat and vinegar to ferment it," she said.

After taking the mushroom and starting to work, Lambert muttered, "Merigard, are you okay? Several days have passed and you haven't seen any progress? Geralt still can't think of anything."

"It can't be that fast! His situation is very troublesome. If you just shut up and work hard, we might get results faster.

How many more times do you want me to talk? It's rude to call me Triss and Merigold directly! "

Lambert shrugged nonchalantly.

"Or do you need me to help you improve your memory?" The sorceress touched her right hand, and her aura shone, pretending to give the witcher a surprise.

"Triss, my child! Don't argue with Lambert, he is just a fool." Vesemir happened to walk into the laboratory and spoke to smooth things over.

Lambert snorted dissatisfied, "Old guy, don't stop her. I'm not afraid of her if we really fight. I've long wanted to try the power of the anti-magic metal bomb."

The sorceress said softly.

"Anti-magic metal bomb? Where did you get the formula?" He raised his eyebrows. The demon hunter knew what it was as soon as he heard it.

Lambert made a face proudly, obviously he also knew the strategic value of this thing, "When I passed by the 'Keville', I heard someone shouting for help. It turned out to be a nobleman and his mistress, who came to the river in the middle of the night to come. It was an exciting experience, but four or five water ghosts jumped out to join in the fun. It was too exciting.

I saved him, and he was very grateful. I don’t know what he thought, but he insisted on using the ‘accident law’ to pay the bill.

I went back with him the next day, and his housekeeper took out this formula and said that his father-in-law had just sent it to him. "

The so-called law of accident is a well-established law in the world of demon hunting, as old as human history - those who save others can, in accordance with the law of accident, offer rewards to the rescued people and ask the rescued people to go home. It is the first thing that the rescued person sees, or something that the rescued person does not know but already owns.

"I've heard of this kind of bomb, but the materials are too expensive, the uses are not very wide, and there aren't many monsters that can cast spells." Vesemir reached out and took the formula from Lambert, "I'll study it with Eskar later. Down."

"Don't do it near me," Triss said with a bad expression. "This kind of bomb will affect the success rate of my spell casting. Also, don't let other warlocks know that you have this. It will cause huge trouble."

"Is there any problem?" Vesemir asked.

The sorceress crossed her hands on her chest, "The problem is no small matter. This thing is now a controlled product, and the production technology is theoretically only owned by 'Kevir', the Knights of the Flaming Rose, and the Church of Eternal Fire.

There are many political factors involved, and the formula should be kept extremely confidential. Especially after the Battle of Sodden Mountain, the export quantity of anti-magic metals is subject to the strictest control, let alone such an 'enemy of the mage'. "

Lambert picked his ears impatiently, "Help, don't talk about politics. We are not interested in those at all. The way you are nagging reminds me of Victor. He likes to talk about these things. When we travel together, we always talk about politics." He dragged me and kept talking."

"Ah! You fools, your traditions have long been out of date. Fortunately, there is Victor. That child may be the only hope for the future of the Wolf School.

He was wandering around alone, and even before he was mutated, he had already managed to earn enough money. I visited his alchemy workshop, which was even more luxurious and well-equipped than here. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Triss noticed that Lambert and Vesemir were staring at her, "What's going on? Don't you know his situation?"

"We really don't know Victor's current situation, and what's even more surprising is that you actually know him?" Vesemir said.

Lambert also changed his playful attitude, "Please tell us about that kid. I went to Vizima to find the alchemist master Kalkestein, but it is said that Victor has not gone to him to study for a long time. "

Triss was puzzled at first. None of the witchers had heard of Victor's great reputation, but then she thought it was reasonable. Witchers can be said to be the most insensitive group of people who are not even interested in politics. They don’t care, so why do you expect them to care about poetry?

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I know. Victor is now a famous bard!"

"What is it famous for!?" Lambert's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.

Vesemir: "Shut your mouth and listen carefully to what Triss has to say."

The sorceress then spent some time telling how Victor and Angoulein contacted Dandelion, and then was introduced to the palace to perform for King Foltest, earning the king's praise and being named the Dragonborn Poet. Then he was introduced to himself by Dandelion.

This entire process alone is close to a fantasy for a normal witcher.

But then comes the exciting part. He is inexplicably involved in the Scoia'tael's conspiracy to rob a bank and escapes from Vizima.

After that, he disappeared for a while, and when news was received again, he had already become famous in Skellige, and was called Duwaqin by King Bran, the last dragonborn. And when King Bran died, he participated in the king-selection event of the six heroes to seize the heir, defeated the ice giant, killed hundreds of female sirens, and finally cast the sacred vote, single-handedly pushing the current king Keris to the throne. throne.

Seeing the stunned expressions of Lambert and Eskar, even a person like Vesemir, who had experienced ups and downs, was shocked, and the sorceress spontaneously felt a little bad taste.

"His current official name is Victor from the east of Serikania, crossing the Koraz Desert, Stormborn, Destined to be extraordinary, Meriteri's Unsullied, Fist of the East Dou, Dragon of Belltown , Breaking Dawn, Alchemist of the Demon Hunter, Crossover of the Warrior's Path, Champion of the Arena, Breaker of Bears with His Bare Hands, Transcendence from Nightmares, Killing Hundreds with Sword, and the Last Dragonborn──Duvac'in──Vic the Giant Slayer Much Corleone.”

This string of titles was truly unprecedented. Even the most exquisite ancient elven royal family had never been so arrogant.

Eskar touched the scars on his face, "I suspect that I had auditory hallucinations during that time." Not long after Tris started telling her story, Lambert went out and called him in to listen together, "I clearly remember that I was not I taught him this way, he should be like me, an ordinary demon hunter, how did he become as good as Geralt, how did he get this long list of titles in less than a year. "

"I don't know how he did it. In fact, I have only met him once, when we were in the palace. At that time, he gave me the impression that he was a very calm and peaceful young man. I don’t know why he went to Skellige and made so many tricks. This information basically comes from the intelligence network and is very credible.”

What Triss said caused an uproar in the hearts of the three witchers. Eskar regretted the failure of his education. The little brother who once thought he had learned his true heritage and was the leader seems to have completely let himself go.

Lambert was surprised that so many things had happened after just being away from the boy for so long. Maybe he shouldn't have left him in the first place.

Vesemir sensed Victor's true purpose from his actions. He was the only one among the people who understood the potential of incredible alchemy. As long as he had enough mental power and sincere desire, the cauldron was an almost omnipotent wishing well.

Therefore, if there is enough external driving force for the young man to achieve such a big name, the master demon hunter would not find it strange.

Any unnatural and incredible situation, such as this comfortably decorated castle in front of you, often has the shadow of an alchemist behind it.

However, it is still surprising to see such a big growth in just over a year. I estimate that in a few years, he will definitely become a man of the times. It's a pity that Triss didn't bring Victor back with her on this trip, otherwise maybe he would have been able to deal with Geralt's amnesia.

Fortunately, Triss couldn't take Victor with her to Kaer Morhen, because the only way to fight against amnesia is for the alchemist, whom the witcher master has high hopes for, to use blunt weapon assault and blunt weapon assault. Hit continuously.

Time flies like water in the blink of an eye, and happy times are always short. Victor is now back on the Pontal River and taking a boat down the river. The Phantom Troupe has already visited La. Varetti Castle, now back to Novigrad.

After all, a metropolis is the most comfortable place for an alchemist like the boy, and he doesn't want to have to collect materials everywhere when doing alchemy.

In the past week, your noble son, Aryan. pull. Varetti, fully fulfilled his original promise on the Black Pearl, sincerely welcomed Victor's arrival and accompanied him throughout the tour.

They stood on the battlements and looked across the river at the Kingdom of Redania. The scenery was truly beautiful. Then they walked to the White Bridge across the Pontar River and watched the sunset on the bridge.

Victor also fulfilled his original promise and sang The Return of the Dragonborn for their whole family, along with a new song "Black Pearl - He is a Pirate".

While playing, Victor not only met his father Barron. pull. Varetti also met his brother Balsi and his sister Anais. It is worth mentioning that Baroness Marie. Louisa──Arian's biological mother, is very young and beautiful, with beauty like a blooming flower, black hair and soft red lips.

This charming woman and the old baron are completely opposite.

"How pitiful! The Baroness is completely living as a widow. She must be sleepless. Even Victorinox's aphrodisiacs can't save her. Is there any other way to help that beautiful woman? How about──"

On the deck, Victor kicked without hesitation. Angouleme was on guard and jumped three steps away, so that the boy could not kick her no matter what.

"Shut up, that's her mother. Aryan is my good friend. Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten how warmly he entertained us?"

"It is precisely because he is so warm that I feel that I cannot live up to his friendship!"

"I think there is a big misunderstanding in your concept of friendship. I will completely correct your bad habits today."

After talking about the leader and members of the Phantom Troupe, they fought flexibly on the deck. "Lightning Reaction" improves combat power more significantly than "Eagle Vision". Victor is now on par with Angouleme in combat power.

However, the auxiliary effect of Eagle Vision is too cheating. If he can choose, the boy actually wants Eagle Vision.

...

Vizima. The capital of Temeria -

The Salamanders, one of the two major gangs in the city, has recently significantly reduced its power, stopped harassing women returning home at night, stopped competing with the Rams, and even refused to respond to provocations.

In response to this peaceful situation, Vincent, the captain of the city guards, was naturally optimistic about it, which was better than the past when one or two people died every day.

His good mood lasted until Lansmit, the leader of the Rams, privately asked Carmen to bring him news, and then he frowned.

"The second-in-command of the Salamanders, the Professor, led a large number of elite gang members to leave Vizima and disappeared."

This alone was already very annoying for him, and what was more troublesome was that it was said that there were two mages in it. If such strength was deliberately causing trouble, it would cause a lot of trouble to the local area.

Since the "Eye of the King" Taler lost power, the intelligence agency was taken over by Roderick, a subordinate of Princess Yada. Vincent clearly felt that the Lily Knights were quite unfamiliar with intelligence.

For example, if Tal is still in charge now, the city guards must have received detailed reports from the Salamanders, and even their destinations will be clearly marked, instead of being in the dark like now.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction, but no matter what, managing the gangs is still the responsibility of the city guards. He decided to report the situation to Mayor Vilerad first, and then see whether to complain to Princess Yada.

There is no problem with power struggles and scrambles for power, but since you have won it, you must do what you should do well. Roderick's performance is really not satisfactory.
