Witcher's Atelier

I was once Arvin, growing up on the outskirts of Vizima, living with my dear sister Caroline. Although we were dependent on each other, I lived a very happy life.

Until that summer, when my sister and I went to the city, we met zombie dogs in the wild. At that time, I didn’t know that those things were called zombie dogs. I died to protect my sister, and I was saved by a witcher named Geralt of Rivia.

Spurred by my sister's death, I had my first burst of magic.

Later, I lived with my uncle for a few months. He was always very good to me, but he often changed his female companions, so I was constantly taken care of by different women. The two people I remember the most are the herbalist Abigail at first, And finally there is the sorceress Triss. Merigold.

When my magic power burst out more and more frequently, in order to help me, Triss gave me a Dimo ​​Gold Talisman, hoping to suppress my powerful magic power.

That sudden disaster caused the city to fall into chaos. I was so scared that even with the amulet, I could not stop the power of the explosion. I traveled to a strange place, where there was hoarfrost, and the world was dead silent.

I can never go back, will I never see my uncle again? After meeting some people and hearing some things, I finally knew this was the future.

I grew up and was elected to lead them, but I could only watch them die in front of me one by one. I tried to save it, again and again, but this unreliable time travel was never completely under my control.

And when I was close to despair, I came back, to the time before I met my uncle.

I knew instinctively that I could not meet my childhood self.

I want to save the world, I want to change everything!

I am no longer Arvin.

I am──Jaques of Aldeburgh!

…

The setting sun was warm in the evening, in the forest outside the city of Vizima. When Victor opened his eyes, there was no familiar ceiling.

The limbs move normally and there is no other discomfort, except for the swelling and pain in the face, which proves that the memory is not a dream. The disadvantage of having a strong body is that it is not easy to faint, so in order to knock himself out, the bastard Jaques really used a heavy hand.

Sitting up, I saw an unexpected figure from behind and an unexpected outfit.

Standing on the hillside and looking at Vizima in the distance, Knight of the Rose. Danso's Siegfried did not wear the flaming rose that was almost one with him, but the armor with the lily emblem.

Judging from the freedom of movement throughout his body, he seemed to have escaped his status as a prisoner. He was fully equipped with weapons, and even the Raikiri in the herbal medicine bag had not been taken away. So was there anything that could threaten him? Thinking of this, he nervously reached into his arms, but luckily Keira was also by his side.

Before he was knocked unconscious, Victor was mentally prepared that when he woke up, everything was done, he would become an employee of Blazing Rose, and even a few months would pass.

Now it seems that something unexpected happened that led to such an unexpected result.

Victor took a deep breath, "Hi, we meet again! Siegfried, why are you here?"

Turning around, the Rose Knight's features were still handsome, but his red eyes and sharp eyes showed that after knowing him for so long, he did not show this side even when he rushed towards the Scoia'tael before the last separation.

"I also want to know, why are you here? Why were you knocked unconscious by the captain and brought to the captain's room?

Why, at the most critical moment of the Knights, did the leader only want me to take you away, away from the chaos of our fight with the city guards, just to prevent you from being harmed?

Can you tell me the answer? Victor from Belltown, east of Serikania. Mr. Corleone! "

The wind blew through the woods, making a rustling sound. What the Rose Knight said was very clear. There were enough clues for Victor to deduce what happened. King Foltest made up his mind to fully mobilize the military power of feudal society. Although it was not We know why Jaques didn't open the portal to escape, but since he chose to let Siegfried send him away, it would rather explain his decision.

"...I believe he must have left a message for me. Before answering you, can you tell me what he said?" The witcher sighed leisurely.

Shocked slightly, the Rose Knight thought for a moment, stared into Victor's eyes and said, "The master said - since you choose to refuse, take responsibility and don't make things worse!"

Looking up at the sky, the witcher smiled bitterly. What's this? The handover of the mission to save the world? What does he see in himself? If he says it, I will change it immediately!

Although he was a little irritated, Victor was not panicked, because if there were no accidents, according to Islin's prophecy, the demon hunting world would finally be led by the inheritor of the blood of the elders, Siriya. Fiona. Ellen. Ruialen comes to complete the redemption of this era.

This is how it works in the game, Ciri is the final savior.

Wait, that’s not right! ? The prophecy talks about the last heir to the Blood of the Elders. In other words, could Jaques be the son of destiny who fits the prophecy?

And according to his statement, he was recruiting people to deal with the hoarfrost. In other words, the disaster was not prevented, but the worst happened as predicted?

Could it be that this is a multiverse, with many endings just like the Marvel Universe?

While thinking wildly, he noticed that Siegfried was still waiting for his answer. Victor touched his nose and said, "Captain Jaques invited me to join the Knights of the Flaming Rose. I don't know the reason, but he seems to have high expectations. I didn’t agree, so we had a little conflict.”

This is a real answer that avoids the important and takes the easy way out.

The long day was coming to an end, and the Rose Knight did not speak.

The witcher didn't speak as the sun set.

After being silent for a while, Siegfried nodded, "I understand. I will take you away from that chaos safely and protect you until you wake up. Now that the leader's last order has been completed, I have to leave!"

"Let's go, where are you going? They were declared suspected of treason, surrounded and attacked by the city guards. The Knights of the Flaming Rose are finished!"

"No! You are wrong. The Knights of the Flaming Rose will not end! The ambition of the leader and our oath will not end here. I believe there are many people like me who are just temporarily taking off their armor to keep it useful. I want to find them, find a monarch worthy of allegiance again, and then continue to fight on the right path!

The eternal fire will never go out, and neither will the flaming rose! "

Hearing Siegfried's words, Victor choked up a little. He originally wanted to draw him into his Phantom Troupe. After all, it was not good for someone like him who had a good character, excellent swordsmanship, and could satisfy Angouleme when necessary. Looking, but it sounds like this guy is unlikely to accept his invitation. If Jaques hadn't ordered him to send him out, he would have even died in Vizima.

Patting his thigh, the boy took out a pot of pepper vodka from the herbal bag and raised it high, "Then before we leave, as we said last time, let's have a drink! I wish you a safe journey?"

Siegfried stared at Victor with his red eyes, "Sorry, please forgive me for refusing this time. I don't want to drink with you now, not at all. Next time, definitely next time!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Watching the Rose Knight decisively leave, the Witcher didn't know how much he knew, whether it was the actions of the Master Knight or his own actions.

But what is certain is that if he had not rescued Yada, but killed the vampire bird, many things would have changed. For example, Roderick would have survived and become an important figure in the Lily Knights.

Without absolute evidence, Foltest may not expel the Knights of the Flame Rose, and even if it only takes one night to save Yada, Jaques may not be trapped. He may travel again and go to another dimension to continue his journey. An attempt to save the world?

Who could have predicted it all? Without witnessing it with his own eyes, Victor didn't know how serious the tragedy caused by Bai Shuang was, but the comparison after playing the game made him understand that the real cruelty and sadness of many backgrounds that were mentioned in one stroke were unimaginable...

Evaluating Jaques' actions from this perspective, Victor rubbed his cheeks with both hands and slapped them a few times, "It's understandable, but it's still unacceptable!"

Putting aside the unnecessary emotions, he decided to rescue the sorceress first, and the witcher took out Keira. The statue of Metz, as well as the epic props made in the cave.

…

[Name: Gorgeous magic wand with wings]

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Epic]

[Characteristics: Confident heavy attack, iron-beating effect, expert completion]

[Effect: Eliminates the sealing technique of the chemical device]

[Remarks: Disposable items]

[Side Effect: It needs to be driven by a mysterious magic spell, the one you know]

…

As the setting sun shone, he waved the magic wand in a smooth and unrestrained manner, "The magic wand hiding the power of darkness, show your true posture in front of me! Now I order you in the name of your master, Victor. The seal is lifted!" "

The voice fell, and Keira was on the turf. Metz's doll is just a doll without any reaction.

Change it to another one, "I call you back. Rebirth, Keira! Follow my orders, slay evil, and lift and untie the bonds. Rebirth, Keira! I will return you to your true form!"

"Dynamic light broadcast beep beep beep!"

"Perak Ka Perak Lala-Bobolina Beberudo!"

"Coach, I really want to play basketball──"

After the most certain spell failed and several random attempts had no effect, Victor tore open his shirt and fingered his magic wand, "The mighty heavenly dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Parmakong!"

However, with eggs, the mountain breeze is blowing, and the midsummer is slightly cool, Keira. Metz's figure still stands.

Being shirtless makes it easy to catch a cold. Victor quickly put on his clothes, closed his eyes for a while to reflect, and adjusted his tone to boil with excitement, "My three-eyed god shows his power, resonates with heaven and earth, is invincible, give me strength, and is unstoppable. Come out, Kelame "

"Make the feet and legs! Make the torso and arms! Come on Keira and make the head!"

"Balala energy-Sarosaro-Keramez-whole body transformation!"

After a string of nonsense, he suddenly lowered his magic wand, because Victor suddenly thought of what the spell was, and it must be that spell!

Thinking of that spell, if the deep malice actually filled the body and mind, it turns out that the finished product of "Battle Harmony" would carry the risk of social death! ?

Helplessly scratching his hair and watching no one around, Victor began to dance a mysterious silent dance. After about a minute, he assumed an awkward posture and recited a wonderful spell.

"Dazzling dance! Keira, look at how I love you, An Anxin loves dazzling, dazzling cat stick, unblock it!"

The moment after the spell was recited, driven by incredible laws, the magic wand burst out with unparalleled colorful light, then turned into rainbow dust, rotating around the statue of Keira.

Amid the smoke, the weak voice of the sorceress came out, "...Uh ah... don't do that Jaques... damn... cough cough cough cough."

Victor walked through the smoke and squatted in front of Keira. She was dressed very conservatively at the moment, and she looked like she was preparing for a fight. Victor could fully imagine that when she heard Jaques knocking on the door, she would be alert and then it would be useless. In the picture, that "time pause (pseudo)" move is probably unstoppable.

"Don't worry, it's me. It's okay. Everything is over." Looking at the petite sorceress, the witcher's eyes were bright.

Lying flat on the grass, her vision gradually became clearer. Although she couldn't recognize the mutated eyes, her facial features and knife marks proved it, "Cough cough cough... Oh, it's you Wick, damn it, my stomach hurts so much, There must be bleeding in the kidneys, and you have become a demon hunter! What time is it now?"

Victims of the encapsulated body enter a state of stasis, unaware of their surroundings and what is happening. The side effects of releasing the compression and restoring the original shape often include headaches, nausea, loss of direction and extreme weakness, and in more serious cases, organ damage.

Knowing these symptoms well, the witcher sat down cross-legged, held her in his arms, took out a tube of energy soup and non-toxic swallows and slowly fed her, "Don't worry! It didn't take long, it's the eighteenth day since we separated. , the fourth day of the Vizima Riots."

Swallowing the potion in one gulp, Keira stared at Victor with her hazel eyes, "There has been a riot! So what is the situation now?"

The Witcher only found it funny that the sorceress was "concentrating on national affairs". Unlike other peers, he didn't hate women who were passionate about politics. On the contrary, he found it a bit cute.

So he told Keira everything he heard, encountered, and what happened in Vizima in the past ten days, except for some relatively private parts. Metz.

"...In short, your king is in control of the overall situation now. The Scoia'tael have been kicked out of the city, and the city guards are besieging the Flame Rose. No matter how many conspiracies there are behind it, it will all come to an end in front of his absolute ruling power."

After listening to Victor's entire explanation, Keira murmured to herself, "Ahem... Damn, damn it! I have to go back to the palace as soon as possible. I still have some information to add, and I have to prove my worth before everything ends!"

After saying that, the sorceress forced herself to get up. Faced with this stubbornness, the helpless witcher could only help her up. However, just as she was about to cast a spell to open the door, a mouthful of blood spurted out and she collapsed back into his arms. .

"Ahem, it hurts...my chest, ahem...you're not very good at alchemy! Triss said that you are good at making healing potions, why is it that nothing you give me to drink works at all?"

In response to Kayla's angrily complaining and acting coquettishly, Victor felt helpless. There was no potion at hand that could be effective in just one dose... Hey... slow down...!

Gently stroking the soft blond hair of the sorceress, the witcher said hesitantly: "Actually, it has to be effective quickly. I have a potion that will stabilize your injury in ten minutes and restore your physical strength in a leap once you drink it."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Keira. She tugged on Victor's collar, "Why don't you take it out and give it to me to drink! I know it's very precious, and I will make it up to you later!"

Facing her beautiful hazel eyes, knowing that he could not change her mind, the young man sighed and took out a tube of potion, "I don't need to compensate! But I still have to say that this potion will have some side effects─" He suddenly raised his hand high , to prevent the sorceress from taking away the potion, "─Aren't you going to wait for me to finish what I'm saying?"

The petite blond girl glared at him, "Shut up, I'm in a hurry, don't be so verbose and just be clear, as long as it's not permanent damage!"

──Tsk, tsk, tsk! Your awareness is brighter than diamonds, I have indeed received it!

Without any further dissuasion, Victor gently carried Keira to the bushes next to the grass. Just when Keira was inexplicably thinking that the boy was about to become animalistic, he put the potion into her hand and held it firmly for her.

"I'm walking back to the city. This is Victorinox's Old Prescription. Be sure to wait until I'm far away before drinking it!"

After speaking, Victor ran away without looking back, as if there were dozens of sturdy men chasing him behind him, holding durians in their hands.
