Witcher's Atelier

"Dear gallant gentlemen and dignified ladies! Please open your eyes and look at the contestants gathered in front of us!

They are the most experienced and noble knights! Come from all over the world to pursue glory!

Please listen to me call out their names one by one, taste their titles, and welcome them!

First, a lesson from the knights of the Principality of Toussaint! The Glory of the Cross and the Golden Lily, Pelmelin. Baron Lawnfar! …”

…

The Rose Knight of Redania, the flame is his unchanging crest, Siegfried of Danso!

A quickie from east of Serikania, the red and white umbrella is his promise to those who suffer, Victor of Keldra!

…

…”

Fortunately, it was late autumn and the weather was not very hot. Otherwise, if we were fully equipped in the sun and listened to the roll caller's introduction slowly, we would have fainted from the heat by the time he finished speaking.

The spacious horse racing arena was full of spectators. More than 60 knights in different costumes stood next to their horses, holding their heads high and accepting the host of the conference. Vivienne. Miss Tablis inspects.

Their helmets were decorated with gorgeous feathers, their armors were shiny, and even their horses' furs were brushed smooth.

Vivienne had to follow the introduction of the roll caller and the cheers of the audience, and walked slowly in front of the knights. Those who could advance to the next day's riding competition were elites, but half of them would stop here, so the competition Giving honor beforehand is an essential part.

Taking advantage of the introduction time, Victor joked with Siegfried next to the defending champion wearing the "Black Sun" armor on the observation platform, "Is this the target we want to defeat? He doesn't look very strong!"

The blond Siegfried shook his head, "You will suffer a loss if you underestimate Lin Faen. His fighting skills are not inferior to mine!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, not under you...that is, not above you? It sounds very weak!"

"Screw you! If you have the ability, you don't need the seals, and you are not above me! We agreed to learn swordsmanship, and you will give me all the sword seals?"

Victor snickered, "Going all out is a sign of respect for you! I haven't used the secrets of the Wolf School yet!"

Although I don't know what the secret meaning of the witcher is, based on the Rose Knight's understanding of him, it is definitely not a serious way.

"Even if you want to use those little tricks, you have to pass the riding skill first. This year is no better than in previous years. The new version of the test is a test of strength!" Siegfried said.

The "riding competition" of the knight's competition was actually like a go-kart race in previous years...a group of people rode horses towards the finish line and took the top 32 places. They were allowed to attack and interfere with each other along the way.

You can imagine how many "slippages" would occur with this method. If it weren't for the strong plate armor, a lot of people would die every year.

There may be some rumors about how the mythical crossbow arrow penetrates plate armor. But in fact, rumors are just rumors, and myths are myths. Shooting a black steel plate armor without cutting corners with a crossbow will leave a mark at most.

However, although the kart mode is bloody, the melee at the beginning is more exciting, and then the knights stand out and continue to move forward. There is no need to attack each other, and the visibility is greatly reduced.

So this year it was changed to "single time racing", and the top 32 were also taken, but it was not just a matter of speed. Along the way, you must wield your sword to kill grasshoppers and shoot at hanging targets with a crossbow. If you fail to do so, points will be deducted. How to keep the horse from slowing down while completing the movements smoothly is the essence of this test.

Victor shrugged his shoulders, "Whether you believe it or not, equestrianism is actually the part of the competition that I am most confident about. Have you ever seen a man and a horse become one? If not, you will see it today!"

Rolling his eyes at him, Siegfried said nothing.

While they were chatting, Vivienne finally finished her greetings and walked to the end of the queue.

The roll call officer on the high platform made gestures with his hands and introduced the knight next to him, "Let us cheer hard for Lin Faen of Atre! This famous knight was last year's champion. The person who wins the game today will have the opportunity to challenge him. Opportunity!"

After giving the crowd fifteen seconds to cheer, he blew the trumpet to signal the change of stage, and then shouted loudly: "Finally, we welcome the guardian of the tourney, Miss Vivienne Tabris. Her beauty is even more beautiful than that of a beast. Impressive!”

Although she had changed into a long dress yesterday, she was still wearing bright yellow and dark green tones, "I sincerely welcome all knights! Please accept my blessing. I hope you can all pass the path of fame, heroism and glory. "

After Vivienne finished her opening speech, the emcee continued to heat up the atmosphere, "Dear viewers, the competition method that has been changed this year is very suitable for watching, and of course placing bets!

Ladies and gentlemen, please hurry up and choose the knight you support from the waiter. They will be as fast as the wind and perform amazing scenes and wonderful stories for us! "

…

In 1270, the reformed equestrian competition method was widely praised. Through the design of various obstacles on the track, it gave the knights ample space to show their strength and gave the audience a gorgeous and wonderful viewing experience.

The first champion is Victor of Keldro, known as the "Son of the Wind". The figure of his horse and horse is imprinted on people's hearts, establishing a new tradition of the knight's jousting competition!

When his steel sword decapitated a straw man smoothly, and when he wielded a crossbow and flew gracefully toward the dart target, his dazzling spurs cut through the air, dazzling like lightning!

…

After the game, the roll call officer shouted loudly, "To pay tribute to the respectable contestants, tonight we will party until the dawn of the sky! The camp will serve the best drinks and food, and everyone who can still move will Come and enjoy!

ha! Sorry, this is a line from previous years. Under the planning of Ms. Vivienne, this year's equestrian competition not only had no casualties, but was even more exciting than before. Let us cheer for her wisdom that is not inferior to her beauty! "

In the middle of the arena, bathed in the sound of applause and stomping feet, Vivienne presented the award to the winner Victor, "Congratulations, this is your reward, the saddle with the umbrella coat of arms!"

"Thank you very much! Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's very bad. There is a hateful guy who will leave without speaking clearly!"

In this way, the equestrian competition of the Knights' Tournament ended successfully.

…

That night, when most people were partying, Victor went alone to the unknown forest next to the arena, sat on the land by the lake and meditated.

"The more I thought about it later, the more I felt wrong. You cheated, right? This competition system was the suggestion you gave me, so you can cheat in a way that others can't see!"

Hearing Vivienne speak, Victor opened his eyes. As expected, the girl who had just arrived was in the "Birdman" form.

"Hey! What are you talking nonsense like? First of all, there is nothing wrong with the competition system itself. I guarantee it with the reputation of my grandfather and my first love! Secondly, if you catch it, you are cheating. If you don't catch it, you have strength!"

She came to sit next to him excitedly, "So you admitted to cheating! How did you, a bad guy, do it? Is there something wrong with those movements? Watching the galloping and shooting from a high place, I am really moved by you!"

Victor sneered, "There's nothing wrong with the movements. It's a routine that I carefully designed and perfectly mastered the physical performance. How could it not look good!"

"Uh...then where else can you cheat? No, show your strength!" Even though it was Birdman's face, it still showed doubts clearly.

"It's okay to let you know. Most people think it's okay to ride a horse as a human, but I've only been riding for two years and I'm not that good at it."

"How is that possible!? With that kind of riding skills, I almost thought you were a nomad. So what was your method of cheating?"

Victor took out a candy ball from the herbal bag and spread it out in the palm of his hand. "Here! This is the 'Pony Baby Ball'. It was an eighth birthday gift from my grandmother. It can make the horse tame and obey the command in a short period of time."

Taking the candy ball and observing it, Vivienne's eyes flickered with light, "So that's it... there are such magical things. The world is really amazing!"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's time for us to resolve the curse! You are so happy and relaxed, but you still look like this birdman. I almost thought you had returned to normal!"

The atmosphere suddenly became dark, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat the witcher, "Has anyone ever told you that you are annoying? Can't you please make me happy?"

"I'm afraid not, because the following ceremony is very serious. You must remain calm during the whole process and remain still no matter what happens, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Victor said with a wooden face.

Vivienne sighed deeply and lowered her head, "So what are the side effects? I have read some mysterious books. Will anyone who unlocks the curse die soon?"

The witcher shook his head, "I'm sorry, you can't know the side effects in advance, otherwise it won't work!"

The young girl was speechless and looked around the lakeside under the moonlight. The scenery here is indeed beautiful. No wonder her parents liked to date here and were cursed by the banshee...

It has only been a few months since the onset, and it has already been so painful. If it continues for a few more years, I am afraid that life would be worse than death...

"That's it! What should I do?" she asked calmly.

He replied calmly, "Kneel down by the lake and look at your reflection in the water. Be careful that no matter what sound you hear or anything happens, you can't stop looking! Otherwise, I can't guarantee the consequences!"

Taking a deep breath, "I...I know...", Vivienne suddenly came close and hugged him, then turned around and walked to the lakeside to kneel down.

The reflection of the birdman can be clearly seen from the water, the tip of his nose has turned into a beak, the green and yellow feathers are intertwined, and tears are falling down.

Seeing her, he positioned himself. Victor also approached the lakeside, his voice distant and clear, "The essence of the curse is to guide the magic of chaos. And due to the chaotic distribution of magic, in some places with abundant magic, it is likely to be exported at will. It will be a curse.

For example, 'My daughter will be as beautiful as an oriole in the future. This is my wish. ’ This kind of statement has great potential! "

Realizing something from his words, Vivienne's body was still trembling slightly despite her efforts to suppress it.

"However, 'as beautiful as an oriole' is a very unspecific statement. If we use the reverse curse method, will it disfigure you? No... The definition of beauty is very complicated, and we can't do that."

When she heard him talk about disfigurement, she was shocked and then calmed down.

"Fortunately, the great thing among misfortunes is that the chaotic magic can be channeled before the curse is solidified. It can be channeled once, and it can also be channeled a second time.

It should be noted that the dead are gone, and those who come can be chased! "

In the last cicada chirping in late autumn, the witcher let go of his senses and followed the flow of magic, and his tone gradually became louder, "'My daughter will be as beautiful as an oriole in the future. This is my wish.'"

As soon as the words fell, Vivienne felt her shoulders sink, but in Victor's feeling, the magic power that had been unintentionally guided by his mother exploded.

He chanted loudly, "In the future, my daughter's 'birthmark on the bigu' will be as beautiful as the golden oriole, this is my wish!"

Hearing Victor's shout, Vivienne's body shook and she almost fell into the lake, but she stabilized in time.

Without stopping, the witcher chanted again, "In the future, my daughter's 'birthmark on the bigu' will be as beautiful as the golden oriole, this is my wish!"

Similar blessings to the same person, the same sincere wishes, the "literally identical" wishes in the past and the present resonated, and a chaotic vortex suddenly rolled up by the lake!

Feeling the acceleration of the flow of magic, he closed his eyes and opened his hands, wandering in the center of the storm, and shouted for the third time, "In the future, my daughter's 'birthmark on the bigu' will be as beautiful as the golden oriole, this is my wish!"

The vortex surged!

Words come true!

Boom!

The magic feedback shook Victor away, and Vivienne's ears exploded!

…

The moment he was blown away, his lightning reflex instinct was activated, and the demon hunter flipped in the air and landed on his feet steadily.

With a vague idea of ​​the result in his mind, the young man walked back to the lake leisurely. The nine magatama shone brightly under the moonlight, and the pupil power of the reincarnation Sharingan was fully opened. Next, he needed to make full use of his vision!

Under the same moonlight, the birdman lay on the lakeside, and the part originally covered by feathers was decisively depilated, and the newly added golden oriole birthmark on the bigu was clearly outlined!

Based on a responsible attitude, Victor squatted down and checked carefully, and soon confirmed that Vivienne's hair was intact, and her whole body was completely depilated!

The Sharingan can ensure that nothing is missed, and the secondary guidance is very successful. The curse is completely restrained in the birthmark on the bigu!

Calming down, the young man took out a cloak from the herbal bag and covered the girl.

"I thought you were going to see the daybreak, or even make some moves?"

"It's easy to tell whether you're unconscious or not, your breathing can't be hidden from the witcher. Congratulations, you'll never become a birdman again."

Seeing Victor turn around and avoid her, Vivienne lifted her cloak and observed the newly added golden oriole birthmark on her buttocks. All she could say was that the painted lines were exquisite.

"Is this the serious side effect you mentioned yesterday!?"

"It is indeed quite serious. Now the birthmark is only clearly outlined. With the curse being solidified, it will come to life sooner or later! And there is no way to eliminate it."

"That's it!?" The girl was speechless at first, and then remembered Angouleme's repeated warnings, "Don't say I didn't remind you, Wick is a mean person. Vivienne, you tease him several times, and sooner or later he will give you a hard blow! You will never forget it!"

She suddenly jumped up and threw herself on his back, "You bastard, you deliberately scared me yesterday, right?"

Holding his hips through the cloak, he carried her to the place where the clothes were placed, "You can say it is, but it is not. The unformed curse is a delicate word game. I only had an idea yesterday, but I didn't think of the specific direction. Anyway, you teased me several times, and it's not too much for me to scare you once!"

Ms. Tabriz slapped Sir Corleone on the back to vent her anger!

Arriving at the grass next to the rock, the young man put the girl down and let her put on her clothes. He took a few steps forward and stretched his waist happily.

It would be great if things could end like this. He had no interest in matchmaking, although in his memory, Guillaume was willing to bear the curse for Vivienne, and they lived happily afterwards.

But….it was inevitable that there was suspicion of favor in exchange for love, so it was better to remove the curse and let nature take its course, and both the pursuit and the pursuit were free.

Feeling good about himself, Victor looked up at the moon, the moonlight was so beautiful tonight.

"Hey! Wick," Vivienne's voice was husky and soft, "You just looked at it for so long, don't you want to touch it?"
