Witcher's Atelier

Math problem: "The first day is one day, the first day is one day, so how many days are there in ten days? The correct answer is I don't know, because one day is not always equal to one day."

Or: "Since ancient times, there has been no land that has been damaged by plowing, only cows that have been exhausted to death!"

However, there are exceptions to exceptions, and there must be exceptions to the rule. Two factors create exceptions. First, Victor's physique is not that of an ordinary ox, he is an excavator! Secondly, Corleone's skills are not just digging, he is a master of digging!

Third life, those eyes have witnessed millions of battles, from double duels to hundreds of people fighting, bloodstained cars and hanging in front of husbands, he is proficient in everything, infantry, cavalry, water battles and land battles, he knows everything.

Known as: "If there is a mistake in the film, Zhou Lang will look back!"

What's more, even if he goes to other worlds and loses the opportunity to observe and learn, he knows how to go among the masses! Think about it, starting from Vizima, Novigrad, Keldor, and Beauclair, he is like Ash in Pallet Town. Every time he arrives at a new place, he must visit the local martial arts gym to hone his Pokémon in the competition.

So he spent ten years sharpening his weapon, integrating knowledge and action, fighting every enemy, winning every battle, and the sun rises in the east, only I am undefeated.

In short, dozens of days passed like this.

…

After more than ten days of discussion and analysis, the witcher and the sorceress worked together to confirm Professor Moreau's research, and the focus was on the upright coffin, the evolution chamber that resembled the iron maiden's torture device.

Using giant centipede egg protein to cultivate specific mutation inducers, and then with the assistance of the evolution chamber, some special enhancement effects can be achieved.

Unlike in the game where you can only choose one effect mutation, each enhancement in the real world can be superimposed, but when adding different enhancements, mutation inducers may produce severe allergic reactions, leading to physical collapse.

For example, if you first choose the Griffin Mutation Inducer that enhances "Magic Sense", then when you mutate again in the future, it is likely to conflict with the Werewolf Mutation Inducer with "Muscle Enhancement" or the Demon Mutation Inducer with "Poison Blood".

The more layers you stack, the easier it is to collapse, and the more fine-tuning and correction you need, but the first enhancement is relatively not that difficult.

So in the past few days, they also took time to go deep into the mutant centipede nest and collect giant centipede eggs to facilitate the first mutation experiment today.

With the sorceress in charge and the witcher's Yden Seal, if it weren't for sustainable operation, they could kill all the mutant centipedes.

...

That morning, when Victor was still asleep, Keira talked to Triss Merigold through the telescope.

Triss pouted and complained: "Kayla Metz! You disappeared for more than ten days without telling me what you were doing or where you were going. That way I could at least see who you were with, right? Look at your radiant appearance. It seems you are eating well?"

Soon after getting up, both parties in the conversation were wearing light pajamas. Neither of them had any melanin deposits. Their faces were full of youth and collagen.

Keira smiled brightly, "Ahem, sorry, this is still a secret. I can't tell you who is with me. Anyway, I am working on a precious research project, which is related to the century-long plan of magic. I will tell you when the time comes."

Faced with her colleagues who kept it a secret, Triss rolled her eyes, "Okay! Actually, I didn't want to disturb you, but no matter where your century-long plan is, you have to pause for a while.

You must show up before the morning meeting tomorrow. King Foltest asked his advisers to participate in his daughter's wedding. It is estimated that they will accompany him for at least ten days."

"Tsk tsk! That bitch Yada and that mad dog Radovid... so annoying!"

"I think you are prejudiced against Radovid. He looks rational and wise. He can take back the management leadership from Philippa. He is definitely not a simple person."

"I didn't say mad dog, it's──forget it, I can't tell you."

"Hehe, it seems that it is the judgment of the man in your bed. Do you trust him so much?" Triss joked.

Keira asked back, "Would you doubt Geralt's point of view?"

"... Makes sense, you convinced me. Congratulations on finding a good guy. To be honest, I'm very happy. This makes me look less different."

Just as she finished speaking, there was some movement from Triss's side, and Keira also heard the sound of Victor turning over behind her.

The red-haired sorceress was refreshed, "Geralt is awake, I'll go to accompany him first, and the rest will be discussed when you come back."

--The telescope call was terminated.

Turning around to look at Victor who was still sleeping, the blonde sorceress was thoughtful.

...

"Alder!" The shock wave of the seal hit accurately, breaking the wooden stick as thick as the tiger's mouth.

In the newly set up testing area in the corner of the laboratory, Keira held her chin and watched the witcher test one by one, recording the strength of the current seal.

"Although the power is not as strong as Geralt's, Victor's sigils are also quite good." She thought to herself, "But this is not normal at all. The White Wolf has accumulated proficiency and affinity for a hundred years. How can he, a newcomer who has just mutated for a few months, master it so easily?"

The sorceress asked: "Do you know how to train the power of the sigils? As far as I know, you are doing the Green Grass Trial by yourself, without any newcomer training."

"I know, find a place of magic to meditate and improve the affinity of magic. Alder!" The wooden stake as thick as the wrist was also broken, and the witcher sat down to restore his best condition.

For some reason, I want to smile when I see his back.

"Before, why were you unwilling to accept the employment of King Foltest? He still admired you very much. Wouldn't it be nice to live in Vizima with fine clothes, fine food, fine baths, and soft beds? You chose to be a wandering witcher, living in full Is it a tavern filled with rats and fleas, fighting bloody monsters and still being despised?”

"Because this is the life I like, Corleone, to do whatever I want, to be exciting and interesting! Insin! Ixatein!"

After hearing Victor's answer, even though she didn't understand the Bell Town dialect he spoke at the end, after more than ten days of close communication, Keira knew it was definitely not important.

The important part is that she sensed the purely wild side beneath the boy's precocious and calm appearance! He wants a simple life, casually slashing monsters with his sword... or killing people!

"If you still want to run around, why build the Corleone Manor? Don't you plan to return to Vizima in the future?"

"If there is nothing special, I probably won't go to Vizima again. There are too many troublesome things there. I am even more afraid of meeting Foltest. I have rejected his solicitation twice. I am afraid that he will go crazy the third time. !" Turning to make a face at Keira, Victor walked towards the third wooden stake as thick as the mouth of a bowl, "As for the Corleone Manor, it is my title and retirement place. I will tell you a secret secretly. Only you can tell it. I know, I have a pension account in Chivanni Bank with fifteen hundred florins in it, which is four thousand five hundred crowns! Trust me, buying florins now will definitely preserve its value.”

The sorceress picked up the apple in her hand and threw it at him, "It doesn't matter whether it retains its value or not, for old age... you kid is not even twenty years old!"

Catching the smashed apple, the witcher took a bite and said, "What kid? That's not what you called me last night!"

──Danger!

Victor, who always makes mistakes when he talks too much, was hit by Keira's electric ball and lay on the ground numb for several minutes.

…

After completing the stage of testing the seal and recording the current strength completely, Victor took off his clothes and walked into the evolution cabin that looked like an iron virgin.

The space inside is quite spacious. Even Victor, who is six feet tall, does not feel crowded when he stands in. The interior is made of black steel-coated anti-corrosion material and is connected to several pipes as thick as a tiger's mouth.

Standing in front of the hatch, Keira held a note in her hand, "Wick, final confirmation, the first enhancement choice of 'magic sense'?"

"Well, I feel that this gain aspect is the most promising, and the increase in the power of the seal is relatively intuitive, and the differences can be analyzed numerically."

Nodding and putting away the notes, Keira took two steps forward and kissed Victor, then took two steps back and closed the iron hatch with a smile.

The experiment began, and soon the evolutionary liquid poured out from the pipe as thick as a tiger's mouth, like pouring cement, soaking the witcher's entire body from the neck down into the magical griffon mutation inducer mixed with centipede protein.

Outside, Kayla was concentrating on operating the instrument, but inside, Victor didn't feel uncomfortable either. The situation was under control so far.

Next, the evolution chamber began to heat up to increase the activity of the evolution liquid. As the temperature indicator continued to rise, the witcher began to feel the changes in his body. It was tingling, numb, itchy, and painful. It won't be cool.

Looking at the evolution cabin from the outside, steam began to emit from the vents, which meant that the liquid inside began to boil. After fixing the temperature control valve, Keira walked to the side and started the centrifuge to make the second stage of the liquid.

Amidst the buzzing sound of centrifugal rotation, the sorceress crossed her arms and stared at the upright coffin-like evolution cabin, thinking about her own thoughts.

…

The experiment ended a few hours later, and the shell of the evolution cabin was cooled using a freezing facility. Keira held the handle with both hands.

When the hatch was opened, a burst of residual steam spurted out. The witcher fell out and fell on top of the sorceress, almost knocking her down. Fortunately, the mage's hand shared most of the weight.

Leaning against Keira, Victor panted.

"Are you okay? Apart from fatigue, how do you feel now? Do you feel like you have emerged from a cocoon and become a butterfly, or a completely different person?" She hugged him with a smile on her face, and the sorceress immediately confirmed the results of the experiment.

Holding her in his arms and breathing evenly, the witcher blew his breath directly into her ears, "Unfortunately, I don't have either of the two things you mentioned, but I do feel the magic more clearly. You know, you smell so good!"

"Be serious! We are doing an experimental review now!"

"You smell so good doing lab reviews!"

"Thank you for your compliment, bastard! You have room for joking, which means you are recovering well. Now go to target shooting to test the seal. After finishing it quickly, we have to test other things!"

He let go of Kayla with a smile, and Victor walked to the corner of the laboratory, "Is there anything else to test? Why didn't I know? Is it the new project you just thought of?"

"Yeah, that's right! The new project you reminded me of, I need to test whether your usefulness has diminished."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Nice to serve you!"

They both looked at each other and smiled.

…

The next morning, the witcher woke up refreshed, and the battle last night still ended with a complete victory.

Then Victor frowned and realized that the case was not simple! The extraordinary five senses of vision did not see Kayla, and the hearing did not hear her voice, not even the smallest sound. This thing is very abnormal!

He hurriedly got out of bed and walked out of the tent. He was shocked to find that the entire Professor Moru's laboratory had been evacuated, literally evacuated.

Everything from the bookshelves, alchemy instruments, and mutation facilities were removed, leaving only Keira's luxury tent in the empty space.

My mind went blank for several seconds before I turned around and understood what was happening. He blinked, then laughed!

Grip groove! Kayla, you are such a bad woman, you are such a cute bastard, you actually took the money and absconded without saying a word, and you did it so thoroughly that you didn’t even leave me a stitch or a thread! ?

There was no point in getting angry. He took a walk to make sure the deal was done. His laughter slowly turned into a bitter smile. Victor shook his head and sighed. He went back to the tent and picked up the bookmark he had noticed on the coffee table just before he left. There was rosemary on it. The taste of Keira.

"My dear friend Victor:

When you read this letter, I have already returned to Vizima. I hope you will not drink too much at the wine festival in more than ten days.

Drinking too much alcohol at your age may affect your physical development. Of course, indulgence too, must be prudently controlled.

I have some information here that may be of interest to you. Not long ago, I accidentally went to Toussaint and discovered in the underwater laboratory of the Valley of the Nine that the research of Professor Moru can help witchers perform two or even three gain mutations.

After more than ten days of research there, I figured out a lot of tricks. I originally wanted to continue, but because of Princess Yada's wedding ceremony, I had to interrupt my research and return to Temeria early with the results.

In the next period of time, I will focus on three enhancement methods based on the ‘magical sense’. This topic is quite difficult, and I personally estimate that it is not easy to conquer. Enclosed is the key to my house. If you also want to participate in the research, come to Vizima to find me!

If you're tired of Beauclair's women, wine, and other delicacies, this should tempt you to return to Temeria next.

Take care of yourself and stay safe.

Enter your dear friend Kayla. "

…

Holding the letter paper close to his nose, the scent of rosemary was not dissipated, so Victor put it into the herbal bag.

If he was angry and funny just now, now after reading the letter, he is only funny. This cute bad woman... doesn't know that I, Victor, never accept threats? Sooner or later, she must be taught a lesson!

After tidying up Keira's luxurious tent, putting it into the herb bag, and looking around the empty laboratory, she suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.

That little blond man must now be in the Temerian court, holding his chin up and showing off, happily serving as a royal advisor.

It can make her put aside her pleasure and go to the wilderness to overcome difficulties for more than ten days. This can prove many things, such as that she likes herself.

I sat on the ground in the wide room and stared blankly for a while.

After swimming out of the Sansredo River and returning to the shore to dry off, Victor put on his armor and headed to the farmhouse where the horses were stored.
