Witcher's Atelier

In Victor's tent, Vivienne wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, her cheeks flushed from the activity.

The scene that happened in front of me will break the hearts of many knights errant. Vivienne, the most beautiful maid in the Toussaint palace. Ms. Tablis was actually helping a young man organize the tent.

"Can this be opened?" she asked, pointing to a thick box on the ground.

As he was assembling the Udvik armor onto the armor base, the witcher glanced sideways and said, "Okay, there should be the flag and robe of the 'Umbrella' inside. Please help me take them out and arrange them."

"Okay! No problem, I'll cover it!" Ms. Tablis clenched her hands into fists and agreed with a smile.

As for the two of them getting along happily, Angoulin, who was cleaning with a rag next to him, had a dull face and had nothing to say. ...According to the group leader's rules for dealing with people, it is also the case for women that broad-mindedness takes precedence over modesty. They are both modest-minded and give priority to good looks. Therefore, currently in the tent, she belongs to the lowest level of the ecological chain.

"Where did I just say?" Vivienne's cheerful voice was like a lark singing, "Oh yes, this is my first time hosting the Knights Tournament. I am actually quite nervous. Although my seniors said there is nothing to worry about, but Still don’t like someone being seriously injured!”

"A lot of people will be seriously injured?" Angoulan asked curiously after finding a topic to participate in.

"According to the practice in previous years, it is not uncommon. Inadvertently falling off the horse during the riding test, or accidentally being injured by a crossbow during the archery test are not rare situations. In formal competitions, it often happens that one cannot hold back.

Defending champion Lin Faen is like this. Last year, he cut off the former champion's hand to win..." Speaking of this, Vivienne looked very unhappy, "Many people said that the last blow was actually unnecessary, but no one could do anything about it! "

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the accidental fall from the horse and the accidental injury from the crossbow sound shocking every step of the way, and in the end, he cut off people's hands and feet at every turn! With such cruelty, Wick is in danger. You must know that he has been training hard for half a month, and he just wants to have something. A good result.”

Hearing what Angoulin said, Vivienne pursed her lips and said, "Well... in that case, I will pay attention to the preliminaries battle list later and arrange for Victor to be some knights with good reputations but poor skills. Opponent! I have no choice in the rematch, it’s a random draw. Of course, I believe that with his swordsmanship, it will be more dangerous to challenge the champion Lin Faen!”

With his innocent face and harsh words, this kid is definitely a natural black guy.

Adjusting his helmet to be impartial, the witcher turned around and said sternly: "You can't do this. I, Victor Corleone, want to win with dignity! To participate in the competition today, there are only three requirements. , Fair! Fair! Tamad is fair!”

When he was scolding, it seemed as if there was a light of righteousness shining behind him. Vivienne couldn't help but raise her skirt in shame and salute, "I'm sorry, I just said it casually..."

Ambran didn't comment with a dull face, as if he didn't hear Victor's rebuke.

At this embarrassing moment, a voice came from outside the tent. It was Guillaume. Lawnfall, "Wick, I want to talk to you about something and ask for your opinion. Is it convenient now?"

"No problem, I'll just put on some clothes and come." The young man agreed, staring at the two girls with an unselfish face, "Remember not to trick those evil spirits! If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose. If you are not upright, it will be boring."

After speaking, Victor opened the tent and left with Guillaume who came to visit. As soon as he left, Angouleme made faces at the door.

Seeing her performance, Vivienne burst into laughter, "There is no need to defend me. In fact, he is right. I am cheating and I deserve to be scolded. He is really a glorious knight!"

When his friend said this, an old joke stuck in his throat. Angouleme almost died laughing, "You fool, you were fooled by him! He is indeed an 'upright' knight. The problem is that in the dictionary of his hometown of Bell Town Here, the definition of upright is so broad that you can't believe it! There is actually only one reason for his scolding just now. This kind of cheating is too easy to be discovered and will affect his glorious image. "

"Hahahaha, I know your worries! He just helped me with one thing, and I am very grateful to him, but we are not that close, more like brother and sister. So you don't need to discredit him like this!"

"I didn't smear him!" Angoulin felt that he was wronged. Is it so difficult to save his best friend who has fallen into disgrace? I call you my real sister, and you just call me your sister. You must know that you are in deep crisis now. Once you turn eighteen, the consequences will be disastrous!

"I'll tell you that I have evidence. The evidence is that he changed the name of his oath. Now it has nothing to do with his first love. Instead, he swears on the honor of his grandfather!"

"So what? It's normal to swear on your grandfather's honor!"

"Not at all, he was adopted and his grandma was never married at all!"

“…….”

After hearing this, Vivienne was stunned at first and looked at Angoulin with a ridiculous expression. After a while, after confirming the truth, she laughed and threw herself at the other party, and the two of them started to play together.

…

Victor left the tent to meet Guillaume. They walked side by side, passing by merchants selling horses and passing by blacksmiths selling weapons; the air was filled with the smell of horse manure and the aroma of caramel bread, and the neighing of horses was heard. , mixed with the sounds of children cheering and playing.

This is almost like a large-scale garden party, but the content of the performance is more bloody. It provides a shocking education to the children of the principality in advance and plants the seeds of longing for knights.

Without Vivienne nearby to distract his attention, Guillaume finally behaved soberly this time and did his best to be a landlord, enthusiastically introducing various facilities and interesting links along the way.

The amphitheater is not open today and is undergoing final renovations. Some performances will be staged starting tomorrow.

We visited the shooting range for archery competition and the route for equestrian competition. Accompanied by the guide, the witcher walked through most of the camp, and the two of them came to the shores of Lake Sidiliga.

Victor casually picked up stones and floated them into the lake. He thought about the last time he played like this with Keira on the banks of the Sansredo River. After returning to Vizima, he didn't know if she thought of him.

And the last time, it should be the banks of the Yaruga River and Reso...

With well-prepared words and fluffy blond hair like a poodle, Guillaume's first sentence was shocking, "Wick, although you are a witcher, I like you as a person and admire your bravery. I sincerely wish you all the best!" Please, please make Miss Vivienne happy!"

"...You came to me just to talk about this?" Victor pinched the bridge of his nose and was speechless. He had no intention of doing anything to Miss Tablis. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old this year! Why do everyone feel that they have reached maturity?

Hearing the helplessness in Victor's words, Guillaume became happy instead, which meant that they were not in love! ?

He scratched his hair and said, "Ah hahaha, I'm sorry, maybe I misunderstood, but I do have a serious situation and I would like to ask the witcher for help."

"Then let's talk! If you want to care about the 'evil' female night demon, you know my bank account."

"Don't be joking, I'm serious! Please don't tell others what I said. Normally I would never be so careless, but I am quite worried about Vivienne's safety!"

This remark was vaguely understood. Victor blinked and raised his hand to signal him to continue.

"Love Fool" Guillaume, who looked serious now does not look stupid at all, "You know, as the youngest and most beautiful being in the palace, Vivienne deliberately keeps a distance from others and will never get close to men at will, so I We can only use some small means..."

The witcher snickered in a low voice, "Small means!? Is this in line with the spirit of chivalry?"

The knight waved his arms, "There are no problems in war, but love is a war! Anyway, not long ago, I hid outside the tailor's house where she often went. When Vivienne appeared, I showed up naturally, pretending to bump into her accidentally. , and then offered to escort her home!

She nodded in agreement, and everything seemed to be going well at first. I suggested choosing a road with beautiful scenery, and she agreed. I brought up some topics, and she even responded a lot when she was about to get home..."

"The result was sudden..." Victor listened with interest.

Guillaume sighed, "Suddenly, mid-sentence, she let out a frightening scream, turned red and ran away in a hurry. But I was completely at a loss and froze on the spot without chasing her."

Hearing this, as the secret keeper of "Vivien's friend", the witcher fully understood what happened at that time. In fact, it was very simple, it was just the curse that struck her under the moonlight.

That curse will turn her into a "birdman", not a personal attack, but a birdman in a purely physical sense, the kind with a beak and feathers.

You can imagine how panicked and helpless the adolescent girl felt when she was walking with Guillaume and discovered that her hands and feet began to grow feathers.

Although Vivienne has been consulting in the name of a friend so far, Victor has never actually seen her transformed appearance, but the memory of her past life will never be forgotten - the smooth back of her hair removal.

The knight continued: "The next few encounters I tried to approach her to ask what was going on because I was worried about her getting into trouble, but she began to avoid me. I noticed that at night, she often went into the forest, I saw her walking to the edge of the pool. I tried to follow her several times, but I lost track of her every time. It felt like she disappeared out of thin air. "

As Guillaume spoke eloquently, Victor couldn't help coughing twice and thought to himself, knight, don't you realize that you are following the idiot?

"Forgive me for taking up your precious time, but I'm sure her screaming was unnatural and she needed help!"

Seeing his earnest request, the witcher who knew why Vivienne went to the forest didn't want to blame him. Young people are young people. Who hasn't stood guard in front of the door of the person they like? It's understandable to be stupid for love. Now it's at best considered a crime, but it still needs to be curbed.

"I understand what you mean, and I promise to resolve this matter. But promise me not to do this kind of stalking again. It's not decent, and if you are discovered, you will lose the chance to pursue her forever."

Guillaume bowed deeply, "Thank you for your willingness to help. I swear by that most beautiful name, I will never make this mistake again, and I will pursue her upright!"

…

After finishing the conversation with Guillaume, Victor returned to the tent. Angoulin and Vivienne ran off to play somewhere unknown. Judging from the weather and the time, they probably ran to have dinner.

After tidying up for a while, he lit the campfire and prepared some hot things to enjoy for himself. The light of the fire cast his shadow onto the tent, and suddenly a familiar voice came from outside.

"Victor of Keldra? I still call you Victor Corleone. I haven't seen you for a long time. Would you like to chat with me?"

Jumping up from the fire, the witcher quickly opened the tent door. The face half-dark under the moonlight belonged to the Knight of the Rose, Siegfried of Danso.

Thinking back to the farewell in the chaos of war in the suburbs of Vizima, the two were so determined to part forever. Unexpectedly, they met again in such a joyous and lively occasion in a completely different mood just a few months later. Both of them didn't know where to start.

"When old friends meet like this, let's have a glass of 'Vizima Champion' first!" Thinking of the slogan on the wall of the Hairy Bear Tavern, Victor took the other's arm, took him to the campfire, took out two bottles of beer, opened one bottle, gave it to Siegfried at will, and drank the other bottle of Ton Ton Ton Ton first as a toast.

After a while, the gap gradually dissipated in the wine and stories. With wine and stories, the two talked about their respective experiences after parting. Although there were inevitably reservations in their words, it was normal for people to have reservations.

As for Siegfried's behavior, as Victor remembered, the Knights of the Flaming Rose left Temeria and stopped their allegiance to Foltest. Most of them chose to go to Redania and swear allegiance to Radovid V in Tretog.

According to the Rose Knight, he was a wise and capable monarch who had just gotten rid of the shackles of the sorceress's control and worked hard to make the country prosperous.

He seemed to be very blessed by God after marrying the princess. Adda of Temeria quickly became pregnant, which was a double blessing. Their child will have a long list of titles as soon as he is born, including the claims of the two major powers in the north.

Thinking back to that young bald man... Victor also had many memories. When they first met, even Philippa Ehrhart's apprentice dared not give him face. Unexpectedly, he was just forbearing and drove away the "Pearl of the Court of Tretog" so quickly, and uprooted his power.

As for the princess, it was even more impressive. The bad fate started when Adda led people to chase Batman. After the bank robbery, he was considered to be indebted to her. After returning to Vizima, they reached an understanding and rescued her from the curse of the man-faced monster bird. Finally, after telling the story, he was accidentally attacked by her!

Now these two guys are together, and neither of them is easy to deal with. I can only wish them happiness!

In my memory, Radovid V seemed to be alone and without relatives. Perhaps that was the reason for his "hard-heartedness". I hope that in this life he has a wife and a son, and will no longer want to be a bad guy, and the Knights of the Flaming Rose will no longer be reduced to evil thugs.

In this way, Siegfried drank with Victor until late at night and returned home happily.
