Witcher's Atelier

A few days after the incident, the King of Temeria held a banquet in the "Pure White Hall" to celebrate that the unrest had subsided and Vizima had returned to peace.

The banquet started in the afternoon. The pillars and painted buildings were exquisitely carved, the flowers in the courtyard were brilliant, and the scenery was just right at the right time, completely unaffected by the smoke of the previous gunpowder.

And in a corner of the hall, the royal hunter. Mr. Champagne was talking loudly: "...Ah! What a catastrophe! I couldn't imagine at the time why the heavily guarded East City Gate was broken open?

We all know now that it was caused by the laziness of the Flame Rose traitors, but at that terrifying moment, there was no doubt that we all near the city gate were in deep danger of death.

Fortunately, I suddenly remembered the great King Foltest! He always protects us, and he will protect us this time too!

You may find it unbelievable when I say this, but this is the truth. When six or seven Scoia'tael broke into my house, I shouted in panic, 'Long live King Foltest! ’

Then I saw surprise, shock, fear, and flinching on the faces of those who smashed their seeds. The king's majesty made them ashamed!

They rushed out of the door and ran away as fast as a rabbit with five or six arrows in its butt..."

At the window not far away, Victor was listening with great interest while holding a glass of wine. He had a premonition that this good story, full of Temerian value, would be on at least the third page of the Vizima Morning News tomorrow.

Now he can no longer blend into the crowd because he is a witcher. Even if he wears exquisite clothes, wherever the boy goes, the surroundings will gradually clear up, allowing him to fully experience the feeling of being excluded. Fortunately, he still has sensitive ears. You can listen to the gossip, otherwise it would be boring to death.

There were familiar footsteps behind him. Victor turned his head and saw Vincent, the captain of the city guard. Metz, although his position remains unchanged, his real power will definitely expand.

The captain approached the witcher and took the initiative to hold his hand, "Thank you! Thank you Victor, thank you for everything you have done for us!"

He didn't explain much, but the meaning was clear. In front of true love, the werewolf had disappeared and the curse was not worth mentioning.

"I'm glad that you can get rid of it, but what you really want to thank is not me or Geralt. Instead, you should thank Carmen for being able to stick with you when you transform. That true love is the best medicine to solve the problem."

"I swear I will treat her well." After saying that, he noticed the witcher's lonely situation and felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry that it shouldn't be like this. They are not involved in actual affairs and don't understand the contribution you have made..."

Victor smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. In fact, I don't have much to contribute. The main thing is to lift the curse." He toasted and sipped Vincent as he sent away the city guards.

The captain had just left when an attendant came over respectfully and said, "Mr. Victor Corleone, His Highness has summoned you. Please come with me."

Your Highness! ? Shrugging his shoulders, the boy waved his hand to let him lead the way.

…

The attendant took a roundabout way and led the witcher to a "lounge", then exited the door and hung up Do Not Disturb, leaving Victor alone to face Princess Yada.

The so-called lounge is... The lounge is a place for nobles to rest and conspire. It has sofas, tables and chairs, and beds. By the way, it is a double bed, a European-style double bed with a curtain.

The atmosphere was a bit strange, but the witcher was fearless. Ever since their honest meeting that day, the two had established a tacit understanding, at least not a relationship of murder. He walked directly to sit down opposite the princess, picked up the Fiorano rose, and for She filled it with herself.

Picking up the wine glass with a smile, Victor said: "To the treasure of Temeria! The righteous and honorable eldest princess."

Rolling her eyes at the young man, Yada raised her glass and touched it lightly, "I don't believe you don't know that this treasure will be packaged and sold soon."

Take a sip of each.

"Don't say that. Precious things are precious no matter where they are. By marrying Radovid V, you will not only be Temeria's, but also Redania's treasure, the one who maintains peace between the two countries." The key." The witcher said sincerely.

The princess held her chin and sighed, "But I don't like such an unfree life! I have been trying to get rid of this ending. I was very close to success, but unfortunately I failed in the end.

You know what I love most about Batman? What I admire most is his arrogant freedom, which is something I don’t have. Tell me, why does he dare to wear such exaggerated clothes? "

Victor spread his hands, "Your Highness, I don't know what Batman thinks, but except for the king, no one is truly free, and even the king does not have absolute freedom."

The part that the boy didn't say, the princess knew that he was referring to the king's love for his sister in the past. He was as strong as Foltest in the past, but in the end he failed to make his sister the queen.

But what makes Yada unhappy is, "Wick, you are such a nasty guy. I have to leave and you still don't want to tell the truth. Is it so difficult to admit that you are Batman? You let me down so much!"

Staring at Victor's still indifferent, don't know what you're talking about attitude, the princess got discouraged.

"Forget it...I forgive you, because the reward I agreed on a few days ago seems to have no chance to be given to you. I didn't expect that I would be engaged so soon..." At the end of her words, her tone was pale and indifferent, but she was once so heroic. His domineering attitude no longer existed, and he looked decadent and resigned to his fate.

Perhaps she always felt that her father's rush to marry her off after the turmoil was over was a disguised banishment of her.

And after marrying Radovid V, even if she is favored, the power of the eldest princess and the queen will be very different. People who have tasted the taste of power must find it difficult to bear the loss.

He could somewhat understand her mood. Based on sympathy, Victor rubbed his chin and said, "Don't be so depressed! Let me tell you a story about the queen of Bell Town east of Serikania. story!"

Yada, who was holding the wine glass and immersed in self-pity, glanced at him and did not answer.

Smiling, the young man started talking directly, "A long time ago, there was a country called 'Tang'. The king married a very capable queen..."

…

"...In this way, the queen became a king, ruling the country of 'Tang', making the people live and work in peace and contentment, and establishing a prosperous era."

In the middle of the story, Yada would exclaim and ask for details from time to time, but when the story was over, the other party suddenly fell into silence, and just stared at Victor with bright eyes.

It was summer, and the low-cut dress was leaning forward, so the room suddenly felt stuffy.

Then she said: "You know what? The story you are telling is worthless and has no feasibility at all. It is all nonsense! In the northern countries, the king is the king and the queen is the queen. It is impossible for a queen to become a king! "

The princess narrated the conclusion in a manly voice. Although her words were harsh, her tone was strangely gentle.

Faced with the stuffy heat in the room, the pressure of the female fist, and her wolf-like eyes, the young man replied cautiously: "I'm sorry, my analogy was inappropriate."

She parted her red lips, drank the red wine in one gulp with a smile, threw away the glass, took off her hair accessories, stood up and walked around the wine table.

Feeling the dangerous atmosphere, Victor quickly stood up and retreated.

However, it was too late. The princess's swoop was as fast as the wind, no less than a vampire bird. The witcher was caught off guard and knocked down against the furniture.

"Don't move! It will get better soon!"

"Yada, stop it, Yada! Yada doesn't want it, I'm going to scream if you do this again!"

"Scream! Scream louder! I hope everyone can hear it, or we will all die together! At most, I won't marry the king, and you will definitely be hanged!"

Upon hearing this, Victor suddenly became "livid"! Damn it! I told you stories to comfort you with good intentions, but you actually threatened me! ?

"You are so wanton, arrogant and frivolous, you must be punished!"

…

It should be noted that since ancient times, the gun has been the "king of a hundred weapons", and the Zhongping gun is the king of guns. The most important thing in holding a gun is the four levels, that is, the top is flat, the shoulders are flat, the feet are flat, and the gun is flat.

...The Siping gun is "the gun pierces a line", and it is pierced straight. Its route is the shortest, fast and powerful, and has the potential to "go like an arrow". Make it impossible to guard against...

... As the saying goes, "A medium-level spear is a king's spear. You can't guard against high or low, far or near. You can't block it when you're high, and you can't take it when you're low. It's hard to cover anything in the middle."

──Excerpts from "Introduction to Spearmanship"

…

After a while, the witcher walked out of the lounge and prepared to return to the hall. However, he had just taken a few steps when another attendant approached him respectfully, "Mr. Victor Corleone, your Majesty has summoned you. Please follow me."

Hearing that it was His Majesty, the young man took out his silk scarf and dusted his knees. The young man waved his hand and asked the attendant to lead the way. The reason why he came to the banquet today was because King Foltest wanted to summon him.

However, the route was unexpected. Instead of going to the audience hall, it took a circuitous route and led the witcher to a "lounge".

After a noble lady quietly left, the attendant then let the young man into the room, closed the door and hung the do not disturb sign, leaving Victor to face "Radovid V" alone.

I found out that it was this "Your Majesty", even if a good man like Victor, who was ambitious, powerful, and ambitious to conquer the world, encountered this wonderful situation of just having a full-on martial arts show with a certain lady, and then met his fiancé. At the scene, his face was also a little stiff.

However, a glance at the messy bed revealed that Radovid V had also just experienced a fierce battle, and his extraordinary sense of smell could clearly smell the scent of gardenias.

King Radovid V, who was sitting in the seat, looked like a wise king and waved with a smile, "Come... come over here quickly and sit in front of me. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what happened to Yada this time. What will happen? Thank you for your hard work!"

Touching his nose, Victor walked over to Dafang and sat down, "...No! I don't deserve your praise. In fact, it's not that hard. It just takes a little energy..."

Looking into the witcher's eyes, the little bald man happily filled the glass with wine, and then pushed the cup towards the boy, "Haha! Don't be polite to me, I believe you must have paid a lot for it!

This is not the first time we have met, and I am deeply impressed by your intelligence, so even if you transform into a witcher, I will not change my attitude towards you. "

"It was my pleasure, Your Majesty." Victor saluted, took a sip, then put down the cup and waited.

As Radovid said, it was not the first time they met, so Victor also knew something about the monarch's character. He would not find him if nothing happened, and perhaps Philippa was too depressed, making him meet with unnecessary people. In front of him, he didn't want to show any patience at all.

Turning his face sideways, his little bald head showed the most familiar angle of the witcher, "Let's be honest, I came here to ask you." After a slight pause, he continued, "As the person who lifted the curse of the demon bird, I want to ask you... Can Yada...can she get pregnant normally, I mean give birth to Redania's future for me?"

So I wanted to know this. Victor was confident about the answer to this question. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although the curse of the vampire bird is special, as long as it is lifted normally, there will be no hindrance to the birth of offspring, and there will be no hereditary phenomenon. I can guarantee you this."

After getting the answer, Radovid nodded with satisfaction, "Good! Very good, very good! Witcher, I believe you will not tell anyone that I have consulted you about this question, right?"

"Your Majesty has not asked me any questions. You asked me to come here today purely to praise the witcher's work!" Victor responded neatly.

"Hahahahahaha!" Radovid laughed, "Well said, well said, indeed! Listen, Victor, I am very satisfied with everything you have done for Adda, well done! So I will reward you heavily!"

Victor, who has played medieval strategy games, can understand why Radovid is happy, because if he can have a child with Adda, then the child will have the title of king of both Redania and Temeria! Although Foltest is his ally now, who knows what will happen in the future?

...

Soon after, the witcher left the room with a full bag of Novigrad crowns. It can only be said that the little bald man's reward was indeed generous.

Without being stopped again, he walked back to the pure white hall smoothly. With another cocktail in hand, Victor was just about to listen to the gossip again when a servant came over respectfully, "Mr. Victor Corleone, His Majesty Foltest summoned you, please follow me."

"Tsk! It's really overwhelming! Can't I take a break?" The witcher sighed in his heart, but this time it was finally the host's call. After the audience ended, it would not be considered rude to leave early.

On the way to the audience hall, Victor saw Shani walking in the opposite direction from a distance, with Angouleme guarding her side. The senior sister was still dressed in a simple doctor's outfit, and the pure gold badge on her chest was the king's reward for her service in the temporary hospital.

The praise that Angouleme received was obviously more brilliant. First, she helped the city guards fight against Lika, then defended the temporary hospital to protect the people, and then killed a large number of Scoia'tael and fought against the traitors of the Knights of the Flaming Rose. All these made her famous.

In addition, she was a pure "human woman" without any racial issues, so judging from the shoulder badges, emblems, and clothing, Foltest awarded her the title of honorary knight. In the future, people can call her "Angoulême of Temeria" or "Golden Eagle of Temeria".

It is estimated that the brightest star besides the king in this turmoil is the Golden Eagle. Angouleme.

However, if Victor created the same feat, then a mere witcher would probably be sent away with some money. Especially at this moment, His Majesty's summons, in the eyes of ordinary people, can be regarded as an exceptional courtesy.

Passing by, Shani smiled at Victor, and Angouleme made a face at the leader.
