Witcher's Atelier

The day after the fire broke out in the trading area of ​​Nilfgaard City, in the Royal Palace of Redania, Philippa, the "Jewel of Tritog's Court". Erhart was communicating her latest plan with several members of the "Sorceress's Gathering" through the telescope.

There were fewer people attending the meeting this time, with only the Kaedweni royal advisor, Sil. Tanshavier, Grand Duchess Francesca of the Valley of Flowers. Findabei, and Nilfgaardian court sorcerer Ashley. watt. Anahim.

"... Xi'er, Francesca, Ashley, here I must admit my mistakes first. The little guy won the support of Foltest through his marriage to Bai Zhiyada. Now Cui Almost all the nobles in Tog's court fell to him.

These idiots have completely forgotten who has been supporting this precarious country in the past few years! The situation is changing very quickly, and I'm afraid the plan we talked about earlier must be implemented immediately! "

Although Philippa still maintained a good manner when speaking, no matter Xi Er, Ashley or Francesca, they could detect the anger and weakness in her eyebrows.

Wearing a black velvet robe decorated with pearls, Xi'er nodded without hesitation, "Fei, don't worry about those idiots, I will start looking for a suitable candidate and arrange a detailed action plan for him. Find the right time as soon as possible from Redani Ya get away! But then again, aren’t you going to involve more people in this matter?”

"Let's make preliminary preparations first and then communicate with them. Geralt has reappeared now, occupying all of Triss's attention. Keira is busy sorting out the follow-up issues of the inhuman riot, and Margarita obviously won't like this. Something. As for Fringilla——" At this point, Philippa paused slightly.

"──I will tell her that we are always ready to provide necessary assistance." Ashley answered calmly on the surface, but in fact she was worried about Cantarella's disappearance.

Being able to be sent to people like Vatier to spy on information, there is no doubt that Kasia Van Canting is a very talented child. The sudden fire in the trading area troubled the sorceress quite a bit.

"The most beautiful woman in the world" in the past few hundred years, Francesca. Fundabe nodded in approval: "You are indeed very considerate, Ms. Owl. Allow me to convey that our Dragon Slayer Saint Saskia is eagerly awaiting your arrival. She urgently needs your help to win more people's support. Laying the foundation of rule in 'Vergen'."

"Thank you Francesca," Philippa waved her arms with her back straight, "I'm glad to know that there is a place willing to listen to wise counsel and advice! Since the existing forces are unwilling to recognize the value of foresight, it is time We have control of our own stage.

Sisters, it’s all about magic! "

"All for magic!" Everyone said together.

…

Time flies like an arrow, and when there is nothing wrong, time always flies by very fast, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

At dusk in the Hautsouden forest, hawks flew in the sky. After confirming that the warning range was safe, Catherine landed gracefully on the arm of Angoulême.

Seeing this tacit understanding between humans and eagles, Oaks, who was leaning on the tree trunk, smiled and clapped; Serrit, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had a sullen face and rested his chin on his hands. It was not because he had any objections to the girl, but because of his personality. As a result.

The applause continued, and Oaks said cheerfully: "Kathleen is so great! It makes me want to raise a falcon."

Facing the compliment, the girl held up the eagle with one hand, elegantly held the non-existent skirt with the other hand, and bowed to express her thanks.

Shaking his head, Seret stood up and waved, "Okay, don't waste time! Angouleme, in today's training course, we will continue to study the skills of stealth and lurking. There is no slack in the path of shadow, and we must always improve, otherwise we will be like Oaks That idiot always gets discovered and has to go on a killing spree!"

"Hey! That's just a narrow prejudice of yours. If you look at it with a broad mind, killing all the people can actually be regarded as a successful concealment! Anyway, no one found out?" Oakes defended with a smile.

Seret's tone was cold, "Shut up! You have trampled on the brilliance of our predecessors. You must know the learning goals of our Miss Angouleme, but the immortal legend of the Snake Sect, Mr. Solid Snake!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Oakes fell to the ground laughing, and Angoulin suddenly turned red in the face. This reaction was out of anger. After getting to know each other, Seret's poisonous tongue was fully activated, and he showed no mercy to the girl.

However, the main target of Angouleme's anger was her regiment leader Victor. Although she had known that the boy would talk nonsense when he was in a mood and was very similar to Dandelion, she never expected that he would actually " Fabricating history" is completely nonsense.

So a few days ago, Angoulin, who was stunned for a while, chatted with the snake sect witchers and proposed that he wanted to learn their stealth skills because he admired their predecessor "Solid Snake"!

Not paying attention to the doubtful glances exchanged by the three people across from her, the girl recounted the boy's original lies, telling the truth.

The great Viper School witch hunter "Solid Snake" is extremely intelligent and can speak six languages. He has lurked into Nilfgaard several times to destroy super giant golems, and has an epic secret battle with the "Liquid Snake". Zhao Jianrui Daniya is the famous "Kingdom Agent".

Because of these achievements, he is called "the legendary mercenary", "the legendary hero" and "the man who makes the impossible possible"!

To this day, Angouleme still can't let go of the scene after she finished speaking that day: "Ox beat the tree and laughed so wildly that he almost choked. The granite Leso slapped his legs and laughed loudly. Even Seret turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth."

Fortunately, although it was embarrassing, the result was still good. After hearing such a great story, the snake witch hunters expressed their willingness to train Angouleme and become the second legendary "solid snake".

So these days, apart from helping to collect alchemy materials, she was studying under her master and studying the techniques of stealth.

After a few days, although Angouleme felt that she still had many tricks to learn, Seret and Oaks were actually amazed by her talent. She was simply a natural assassin. Although they were afraid that she would be proud, they did not tell her, but quietly used higher skills. Standards come to her.

…

Nothing is true and all actions are possible.

──Assassin's Creed

…

When Angouleme was training, three tents were set up on the banks of the Yaruga River at dusk.

Snake witcher. Reso of Guleta, with steel and silver swords beside him, sat cross-legged in front of one of the tents and meditated, guarding the people inside from being disturbed.

On the sign outside the tent, "Victor's Alchemy Workshop" is prominently nailed, and below it hangs "Alchemy in progress!" do not disturb! "Underneath is a wooden sign "Trespassing will really explode! Do not lie to you. 》.

As for the high-pitched and loud singing voices coming from inside, you can clearly hear the words, "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is blowing, and the world is vast!..."

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of the lyrics, he judged from the tune that the singer was in a great mood at the moment. A smile appeared on Lei Suo's lips. Calculating the time, it was exactly ten days since he made the request for alchemy. I hope he can really make a breakthrough.

Opening his eyes and lifting up his silver sword, the witcher stood up and walked towards the river, where several water ghosts were crawling ashore for food.

During this period, the Phantom Troupe and the Viper School were temporarily settled by the Yaruga River. Because the development of "North Wind" could not be completed in an hour or three, Victor asked Reso for ten days to elaborate on the answer.

In fact, to analyze the ingredients of "North Wind", it is not difficult to collect the materials. It only requires four main items: saltpeter, water, pearl powder, and allspice. The others are auxiliary. The difficulty lies in the complicated preparation procedures and raw material ratio.

After receiving the incomplete formula and the materials provided by Reso, he followed the method of creating "Megatron" in the Temple of Melitelli. That night, he used incredible alchemy to achieve the result in the tent, and successfully reproduced the "North Wind" that had been lost for hundreds of years. , and then reverse the production process starting from the finished bomb.

The next day, the debut of the first-generation "North Wind" test explosion completely shocked the three snake sect witchers. They originally thought that this commission would take at least a few days, but no one expected that the finished product would be available the next day, and its effectiveness was no less than According to the records in the classics, as long as the "standard manufacturing process" can be established, they will be very satisfied.

However, for Victor, he was not satisfied with the test results in terms of radius or power. He was even quite disappointed. This crappy thing was not the "North Wind" in his mind!

The power of frostbite from gaseous low temperatures with a radius of one yard decreases sharply as the range extends. A distance of three yards is already enough that a cold-proof leather jacket can block it. It is completely incomparable with the effect in the game where monsters are completely frozen and can even be broken into pieces.

So even though Party A thought it could be delivered, Party B refused to ship, asked for a ten-day extension for optimization, and assigned Party A to collect several specific materials, and then hid in the tent and disappeared.

After a brief explanation in Angoulême, the three witchers of the Snake sect finally understood the craftsmanship of this little brother of the Wolf sect. Fortunately, the journey north was not in a hurry. As a reserve of emergency measures, they could do A stronger "north wind" is certainly a good thing.

…

The silver sword in his hand flickered, and in the dance of killing the water ghost, Lei Suo's extraordinary hearing could vaguely hear, "...I love what I love without regrets, this love...will stay...in my heart...forever." The end.

And just when the singing stopped, suddenly, with the tent as the center, the ground lit up with the radiant lines of the brilliant array, which suddenly expanded and enveloped the Leisuo and the water ghosts.

Falling into the range of the Wheel of Truth, he was shocked to find that the Kun shield on his body suddenly failed, and the silver sword could not cut into the body of the water ghost. Lei Suo couldn't help but trembled, but what was even more amazing was that the water ghost who was baring his teeth and claws also stopped. Attack, froze in place in a daze and confusion.

Not long after, when the Wheel of Truth disappeared, the Quinn shield reappeared, and the water ghost also woke up from his trance.

The tent door of the alchemy workshop opened, and Victor walked out with a smile on his face. Seeing the scene of the battle, he hurriedly shouted, "Hey Leisuo, don't kill them all, I want to test the power of the 'Higher North Wind'!"

Noticing Victor's shout, Leisuo consciously gathered the water ghosts into a group, and then suddenly backed away when he approached, leaving room for the "Higher North Wind" to come into play.

But contrary to the expectations of the bald man, the young man held the tubular blue explosive in his left hand, but he did not throw it immediately. Instead, he kept waving his right hand to signal for further distance.

Leisuo had no choice but to speed up his pace, and waited until the distance was nearly eight yards before Victor used the Igni Sign to guide the explosion, allowing the "Higher North Wind" to fly towards his familiar old friend, the water ghost.

Turning around to observe the power, Leisuo saw a flash of indigo blue light, and his snake-eye pupils suddenly dilated, because this thing was so ridiculously powerful.

Visual inspection of the freezing radius of one yard, the effective killing effect of two yards, and the low temperature of gaseous state of three yards. With just one blast, the remaining five water ghosts all lost their combat capabilities. The efficiency was almost comparable to that of a honeycomb, and it had no effect on heavy armor. Difference.

Many application ideas flashed through his mind. He stepped forward to clean up the remaining monsters. Leisuo turned around and gave a thumbs up to Victor to express his respect for the finished product.

…

After a while, after sorting out the alchemical materials sent by the water ghost, the snake and the wolf sat by the river and admired the sunset.

"Thank you, I didn't expect it would only take ten days."

"It's a matter of luck, mainly the parsley leaves and verbena, these two materials play a big role, the compatibility of the test materials is like this, if you are lucky, it will be fast."

Victor said it very calmly, but Reso is also knowledgeable, of course, he knows that if it is so simple to make a finished product, "North Wind" would not have been lost for many years.

This little brother of the wolf faction is a real alchemist, and perhaps there are other secrets. He guessed in his heart that the boy had mastered some magic, from the "sealing magic circle" to the power of the bomb, only magic can have such a magical effect.

But he would not ask for details, the secret to maintaining friendship never includes spying on the other party's secrets, and when the other party is willing to tell, he will naturally know.

Facing the setting sun, Victor began to deliver the items one by one, "Here, take it, the formula of the high-level North Wind, there are five matching samples here, there should be no problem making it according to the formula.

Then this is the 'Super North Wind' made by accidental inspiration, there are only three in total, I give you two and I keep one for myself, I can't mass-produce this, and I can't explain the production method, you can use it in a critical moment."

Looking at the blue bomb with flowing light in his palm, the bald man had a blank expression, "Tsk! It actually comes with a limited edition, how powerful is it?"

"Hehehehahaha, the world is vast!?... Probably. Anyway, the range is wider and the lethality is stronger. I haven't thrown it and I don't know, but it is definitely several times that of the high-level North Wind."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The water gurgled, and the two were silent for a short time.

Picking up a pebble, Victor threw it far into the center of the river.

"...Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Watching the last ray of light in the sky dim, Lei Suo's majestic body was as still as a mountain.

"No, we can handle the rest by ourselves."

"Really?"

"Really."

"...Okay."

That night, the Phantom Troupe and the Viper School held another joint banquet, and this time the five of them drank until midnight.

...

At noon the next day, when Angouleme woke up from her hangover, the three witchers of the Serpent School had already left, so on the way south to Toussaint, she complained that Victor didn't wake her up to say goodbye.

"Don't worry, they can all understand. You are not a witcher, so it's normal for you to not be able to get out of bed." Yawning, Victor on the horse was leisurely.

Lifting the reins to control Amber's speed, Angouleme said, "Please! They have taught me a lot these days. They are half my master after all. The work of a witcher is so dangerous. You may die anytime. You should say goodbye properly."

Victor sneered, "Hey, you sound like you are cursing me! Did Serrit offend you by talking nonsense like Lambert? Don't worry, I feel that although the work they have to do is challenging, Reso still has a plan in mind."

"You know they are going to do dangerous work? What are they going to do?"

"My prophet is not omniscient. How can I know what they are going to do? But I know what they are going to do. As you said, there is no easy job for witchers. Judging from what Letho ordered from me, I guess it should be some kind of flying monster, and its skin is very hard, which can resist the hive and dancing star, so it needs the north wind and other matching tools. "

"Since they helped us before, why not ask them for details? I think I am also a capable person now!"

"Letho doesn't want to talk. Maybe he is sure that he can handle it, or he thinks there is no need to involve us. Since he is unwilling to say when asked, I can only choose to respect.

Friends should respect each other's decisions and not pry into each other's secrets. "
