Witcher's Atelier

Sunlight seeped through the cracks in the dome of the tomb, and dust could be seen floating in the air along the light path. Next to the most gorgeous sarcophagus in the tomb, a naked princess lay lying on her back, and melodious music was floating in the sarcophagus.

After pressing the alarm clock and placing his ear against the coffin wall to confirm that there was no roaring sound of demonic birds outside, the young man used the "Quen's Seal" to protect his body, then unlocked the blocking effect of the "Aden's Seal" and pushed open the coffin board to come out.

The Sharingan was circulating, and Victor could see the disharmony on the ground at a glance. She was worthy of the reputation of White Yada, and she was a contestant without melanin deposits. So the witcher took out his cloak and wrapped it around the princess, leaving only her head exposed. Then he woke her up with a harmonious poke.

The princess who woke up sat up and didn't scream or panic. She just stared at Victor's mask for a long time and reached out to remove it. The boy did not stop her action.

Taking off the fox mask, looking at the strange pupils, the familiar knife marks and the curve of her smile, Yada smiled bitterly with a gloomy face, "Victor...it turned out that you really came to save me! You have become a witcher!" ? What time is it now and how many years have passed?"

Victor smiled heartily, "That's right, it's me, Victor Corleone. Don't worry about time. It's still 1270. From the time your curse recurred to the moment it was lifted, it's less than seven days. ”

Hearing what the witcher said, the princess's face instantly lit up, and she asked anxiously: "How is Vizima now? Has anything bad happened?"

The young man shook his head, "The situation is very bad. Unrest of inhuman races broke out in the slums and temple areas. Today is the third day. Yesterday they even invaded the trade area and caused a lot of damage. King Foltest returned to the city early for this reason." . It was also the king who commissioned me to come and rescue you.”

The witcher's words were like a whip, knocking away Yada's energy with ruthless whipping. She leaned back towards the coffin, her eyes empty, staring at the dust in the light path speechlessly.

After a while, the princess asked softly: "Tell me, witcher, is it possible that my curse will return naturally?"

As expected of the woman who almost caught Batman, she has a strong ability to grasp key points. "If you always wear a special necklace and burn exorcism incense in the room, the curse will not naturally recur. Basically, I think you are being framed." of."

As he spoke, he took out a sapphire necklace from his arms and handed it to her, "Look! It was a very delicate sapphire found in the coffin, with almost no flaws. The material of the necklace that should have been pure silver was not pure, but it just looked shiny." It's bright, but it doesn't have the effect of breaking the evil. There may be some ways to induce the curse, but I don't have time to study it in depth. If there are documents from that year, I may be able to give you a clearer answer."

By the time Victor finished speaking, Yada's expression had calmed down from her despair. She still tilted her head, her cheeks looking as white as grease, "Very good, it's good to be sure that she was framed!"

She said "very good", but her expression did not look very good. "If you have any news later, you can come to me directly..." Then the voice became quieter and almost inaudible, but the witcher's keen There was a sound in my ears, "...How ridiculous. I didn't expect it to end like this. I would stumble in a place like this. If I had known it..."

The young man watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and pretended that he heard nothing. However, according to Taller, perhaps the princess had also supported and used the Salamander Gang, but he did not expect that the other party relied on the curse to kick her out.

After a while, Yada, who turned back to her face, had regained her composure, with a sweet smile on her face. "So you...have just turned into a witcher not long ago. Didn't you feel scary last night? I heard that after the transformation, I It looks terrible!”

Victor felt relieved after hearing the princess' question. It seemed that after the curse faded, she did not retain the memory of her time as a monster. He didn't take good care of the monster bird last night and beat it up in various ways.

And when I observed it before putting on the cloak, the supposedly serious injury on my right thigh seemed to have healed as the curse was lifted, leaving no trace.

He smiled and replied, "It won't be scary. In fact, the hair is quite flowing, and the look even has a unique beauty!"

"Tch! The bard's mouth." Yada's face was full of disbelief, but she had no intention of pursuing it. She stretched out a hand to the witcher, "Let's go! You are here to exorcise the curse. Who is outside?" Are you guarding?"

Victor stepped forward and helped her stand up, "The people who sent me here are Mayor Verelad, Captain Roderick, and more than twenty royal guards, all with the Lily emblem."

"Haha, it seems that you still don't give up!" The princess sneered, her lips pressed against the witcher's ear, her voice was soft and charming, "Hey Victor, you saved me, I will reward you well, but I want to get the reward , I’m afraid you have to do me a little favor..."

…

After a while, the door was kicked and Victor was heard shouting to open the door.

After opening the latch, several knights worked together to open the heavy iron door. Only the witcher Victor appeared in front of Verelad and Roderick, with no sign of Princess Yada.

Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was still quite a shock to face this situation. The eldest princess of Temeria was just gone! ?

"You...what's going on with you? Do you really..." The mayor took two steps forward, a little unbelievable.

"I'm sorry, but the past methods of lifting the curse didn't work." Victor didn't explain anymore, just shook his head and sighed.

Roderick suddenly cried and covered his face with his hands, "I didn't expect this to happen, but we have to come to this point in the end!" After saying this, he turned around and left in pain.

Victor noticed, as Roderick walked outside. Several knights around him also followed.

And such a small move made Victor couldn't help but admire Yada's keenness. If he saw Her Majesty the Princess when he opened the door, they might swarm over and chop everyone present into pieces. Verelad would probably not know what was around him. These knights are actually Roderick's best friends.

Ever since she knew that the curse had recurred because he had been framed, and Victor hadn't said anything, Yada had zeroed in on his lieutenant as the target of suspicion, without any hesitation. She was in the game, not standing on the outside observing. Victor admired her judgment and she was not worried at all about being wronged.

Staring at the back of the Lily Knight, Victor approached Verelad and lowered his voice, "Princess Yada is still in the tomb. She wants me to tell you that Roderick is the traitor who caused the recurrence of the curse. Make sure you have enough manpower. If you catch him, don’t kill him without mercy.”

After hearing what the witcher said, the mayor didn't say anything, and his expression didn't even change. He glanced at the few people who followed the Lily Knight and nodded quietly. If no one reminded him, Verelad might not notice anything was wrong, but under the premise that Yada survived but refused to come out, he also sensed the danger just now.

The Knights of the Guard are mainly composed of noble children of Vizima, so it is impossible for all of them to be traitors, but at least the few people who are following Roderick at this moment will probably not be able to stay.

Turning around and walking up the steps, Verelad waved to his men. Although several knights were attacked by Lika and zombie dogs last night, they were not serious if they were protected by armor. .

Victor also followed quietly. At first, Yada asked him not only to announce her death, but also to help catch Roderick. However, after the witcher implicitly emphasized his identity, the princess did not force him. .

Climbing up the steps of the tomb, the young boy saw the mayor return to the group of knights under his control, and the Lily Knight came over with a bag of gold coins, which was probably the reward he mentioned earlier for allowing the princess to die without pain.

Looking at his beautifully groomed beard, Victor sighed and took the gold coin with emotion, knowing that this should be the last time he saw Lily Knight Roderick.

In order to be sure, Yada even dared to stay in the tomb. From this point of view, if Roderick hadn't used a curse to plot against him, he would really only be worthy of dancing in the palm of the princess.

As for why the promising knight betrayed him, what kind of entanglement he had with the princess in private, and whether it was a moral decay or a distortion of human nature behind it. After these questions are settled, Victor may be interested in gossip.

And now, he is going to the "old manor" not far away.

In the last conversation with Yada in the tomb earlier, she seemed to have seen through it all and no longer cared about many things.

"Want to know the secret base of the Salamander Gang? Just like Geralt, the other witcher, you are also tracking them, right! I can tell you where their base camp is, and who is the real instigator behind the scenes!

If you'd just help me...oh, please! Don't put on this expression again, don't refuse me, at least not this time, maybe I won't have the chance to ask you for anything more! "

…

Victor agreed to her, deceived Roderick, and then, with a somewhat surprising and even horrifying answer, he approached the "Old Manor" step by step, the former royal administration hall and the former center of power.

The sun gradually rose, passing through the abandoned village, walking past the decaying iron gates, and approaching the mansion. With extraordinary hearing, I could vaguely hear wailing and arsenic groans.

The entire courtyard is actually filled with grass and seems deserted. Even with extraordinary vision, it can be seen that no one has passed here for a long time, or it could be said that the Salamander Gang has other access routes.

Victor now understands what the elusive monsters are about. In fact, they are exactly the same as the Scoia'tael robbing banks. The monsters created here are delivered to various strategic locations through the sewers that Vizima is proud of. A fresh idea, but easy to use and hard to prevent.

After the encounter in the "Sapopan" mansion, the witcher knew that the wizard could even create something similar to surveillance, and many mysterious methods emerged one after another, so he simply fired Alder with a "Bang!" and blasted open the decaying door to enter. House search, intending to find the basement entrance as quickly as possible.

And his decisiveness is not without reward...

Entering the hall, with a loud bang, the long-lost tyrant, or rather the large mutant, made a grand appearance. They were holding hammers and wearing chain armor, and the warm welcome from behind and around them proved that he had found the right place.

The way he defeated the tyrant last time was to put a honeycomb to his face and blow him up beyond recognition. In fact, he can also use dancing stars. Before these monsters are replaced with "plate armor", bombs should be able to effectively kill them.

But now he had less than five honeycombs and dancing stars in his inventory, so he wanted to save this kind of instant damage at a more critical moment.

So Victor pulled out the steel sword, drank tubes of auxiliary potion, and felt the side effects of a slight heat on his face.

"The intruder is discovered, the enemy is identified, and elimination work is carried out!" The four tyrants said in unison.

The boy was stunned. They have the ability to think, and can even obey orders and make simple judgments! ?

When we were in the mansion, we knew that tyrants could tell the difference between friend and foe, but it was still amazing to hear that they could talk. With their strange strength, agility, and controllability, this kind of weapon was fully worthy of mass production.

He pinched his hands, concentrated all his energy, and slammed his five fingers against the ground. The Yaden seal opened with a bang. With the trigger point as the center, everyone within eight yards except Victor himself would be affected by the slowing effect of magic. Although Yaden's efficiency would not be very good for such a large monster, as long as it could be slightly slowed down, it would create a great advantage.

However, when the four tyrants rushed into the seal range to attack Victor, the boy admitted that he was too naive. Yaden's efficiency in interfering with them was not only bad, but very bad.

Because their power was too strong, the speed of the iron rod and hammer was almost not slowed down, forcing the witcher to pinch Quinn and roll out of their attack range.

The plan to save bombs was instantly broken. He rolled up and threw two honeycombs. It would be fine if he didn't throw them, but he didn't save them if he threw them.

The honeycomb exploded with thunder. Even with Quinn protecting his body, Victor, who was a little far away, still protected his face with his hands to avoid being scratched by the scattered iron pieces.

However, the next second, his pupils shrank slightly, because the effect was far less than expected. Two of the unprepared ones were seriously injured, their eyes were blinded, and they could only roar and swing their weapons wildly, even hitting their accomplices who could not dodge in time.

The other two tyrants who covered their faces with their hands in time, although their chainmail was pierced in many places, were also seriously injured, but their combat effectiveness was not deprived, and they still raised their weapons and rushed towards him.

The chainmail worn by several big guys is estimated to be padded with multiple layers of silk, so the protection effect against the honeycomb is very good.

It took two honeycombs to deal with two instead of four. This efficiency is really disappointing.

He suddenly thought of Geralt and wondered where the White Wolf was at the moment.

If it was in the game, "Old Manor" should be considered a large copy anyway, and Aza can be considered a boss. Shouldn't the White Wolf come to fight side by side?

If he could show up, the pressure would definitely be reduced a lot.

…

At this time, Geralt was somewhere in the Vizima Palace.

Earlier, he arrived at the palace. With Triss' introduction, White Wolf soon met King Foltest and aroused the king's good impression. After all, it was Geralt who saved the princess more than ten years ago.

So the king gave him two tasks, to save Princess Adda if Victor failed; and to attack the Salamanders who kept releasing monsters.

Due to some subtle reasons for protecting the king, Triss could not leave the palace for the time being and could only get a new armor for White Wolf.

Then before leaving, Geralt remembered the potion that Angulense gave him. After consideration, he decided to drink it and try it. So at this time, Geralt was somewhere in the Vizima Palace.
