Witcher's Atelier

The appearance of the sorceress was a signal for the monsters to retreat. Soon, the dock returned to calm. Several fishermen who had survived the disaster floated up and swam ashore in panic.

The sound of "Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang" continued. Before the town alarm stopped, Victor's eyes met with the other party.

Triss's warning flashed through his mind. Victor lowered his eyes and turned to leave. However, although it was only a moment, the outstanding and distinctive Samsara Sharingan instantly attracted the sorceress's attention!

"Victor of Duwakin Keldor, since you are here, why are you in a hurry to leave? Isn't Xier Tanshaweiye worthy of your stopping?"

Since people use formal titles, don't be shameless. The witcher stopped and patted his chest to greet, "I am deeply honored. I didn't expect that the powerful and beautiful Ms. Xier Tanshaweiye actually knew me."

The sorceress walked slowly in front of him with a cat step and looked up and down. The young witcher was six feet tall, with a slender figure and full and strong muscles.

The second mutation gave Victor enough confidence. Since the other party wanted to observe him, he also took the opportunity to observe the other party.

If you don’t look at her ugly face or her hairstyle, Xier is undoubtedly full of feminine charm. Whether it is her round tattooed chest or her buttocks wrapped in a black robe, they are all curvy and pleasing to the eye, but Victor quickly retracted his gaze.

After all, she is Philippa Ehrhart’s friend. Even if she is only half as troublesome as the "Pearl of the Court of Traitorg", she is still super troublesome.

After taking a look, the sorceress nodded, "You look like a good witcher. Are you here to get rid of the giant octopus? Your predecessor, Geralt of Rivia, and I will soon hunt together. If you are interested in participating, you can go to the port sheriff Louis Mercer to discuss the bounty. Then come to find me upstairs at Lame Sam. I have a room there!"

"Thank you for your invitation. I will consider it. Do you know where this monster came from?"

The sorceress sneered, "Witchers like to investigate before taking action. Geralt also asked the same question. If you want to know, go to Sedrak, an elf living in Robindam Village outside the city. There is no monster around here that he doesn't know."

Victor nodded and watched Xi'er leave.

...

There is nothing to hesitate. He plans to participate in the hunt for the giant octopus, not only because the materials are rare, but also because he can cooperate with Geralt. Such a learning opportunity is rare.

Go back to the restaurant to pay the bill first, exchange the place of stay with Dandelion and Zoltan, and give the bard a bag of crowns.

The two of them temporarily lived in a bungalow near the "Lame Sam" Inn. The dwarf might not be willing to take Victor's gold coins, but Dandelion and Victor had been sharing money since Vizima. Considering the convenience of borrowing other people's connections in Toussaint, this little money is nothing.

Then the witcher came to the "Public Security Management Office" to discuss the issue of remuneration. This three-story mansion had some common village commissions on the bulletin board in front, such as evil ghost commissions, anddraeg worm commissions... etc. What's more interesting is that there are troll commissions and a special amnesty notice.

…

"Dmitri's Pardon Notice"

This is to announce to all that the villain Dmitri has expressed regret and asked for forgiveness for his terrible behavior. The commander Roredo, who is known for his mercy, has pardoned his crime and allowed Dmitri to return to society. All arrest warrants and bounties on Dmitri are also lifted.

Town Sheriff. Louis. Mercer

…

"Troll Contract"

The official recruited a warrior to kill the fallen troll hiding in the ruins of the bridge at the border of Aedirn. Any means are allowed to get rid of the beast, as long as it works. Those who kill the troll will receive a generous reward (taxes have been deducted) and the gratitude of the frightened people of the floating port.

Town Sheriff. Louis. Mercer

…

The broken bridge mentioned in the troll contract is probably the one on the road when I came here. I didn’t expect that the floating port is quite advanced and actually uses trolls to maintain the bridge.

Unlike the ice trolls on Udvik Island, where only footprints were seen but no battle was fought, ordinary rock trolls are not as bloodthirsty as his relatives. They can communicate with language. Yes, they can speak common language, although the grammar and words are full of mistakes.

So there is no doubt that trolls are actually intelligent creatures, and witchers will not hunt them under normal circumstances.

And humans have discovered and made full use of a strange habit of trolls. They like to build bridges and live under bridges, collect tolls from passers-by and buy wine to drink.

Nowadays, many towns and villages will specially invite trolls to build bridges and settle down. Their strong arms can easily move heavy rocks. Compared with hiring specialized craftsmen to build and maintain, the tolls they collect are much more economical.

Therefore, the "corrupted trolls" mentioned on the notice board really aroused Victor's interest. I don't know how they are corrupted, but the materials of the giant octopus monster are to be taken, and it is not bad to collect more troll materials.

As for another notice that aroused his interest, the amnesty of the villain Demetrius, let the witcher have more imagination about this benevolent ruler Loredo - a bald, small-eyed fat man.

It is also Temeria. If it is Vizima managed by Vincent Mace and Tal, bandits are bandits. There is no room for education and no need for amnesty.

...

Inside the Public Security Administration, the furnishings are quite familiar, imitating the style of Vizima everywhere. The leading officials have obviously lived in the capital for a period of time.

Sheriff Louis Moss, wearing a black robe, round hat and pleated collar, sitting behind an oak desk, is a middle-aged man wearing pince-nez.

"Ah, another witcher has appeared. Do you want to join the hunt for the giant octopus? I must be sorry to tell you that the sorceress and your predecessor have divided up our budget for this matter. If you want to earn money, please go and negotiate with them. I don't have any left!"

The sheriff was telling the truth. Although the guy in front of him looked better than the last witcher, he also looked more immature.

And he still felt a little annoyed. Why did he suddenly become obsessed when bargaining with the white-haired man and was willing to let him advance part of the reward. I vaguely remember that my mind suddenly became confused at that time. I felt that he was very amiable and trustworthy, so I agreed to pay. Maybe it was evil magic. This mistake cannot be made a second time.

Noticing that the sheriff continued to stroke the ring on his hand while speaking, Victor guessed that it was made of anti-magic metal, which could help resist mental attacks, such as the "Axi" seal, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Mr. Louis, I will go and negotiate the fee with them. Then I want to know what's going on with the commission from the fallen troll. Has anyone been hurt by him?"

Without having to pay extra money, Louis relaxed his guard a little. "The troll mentioned in the notice used to maintain the bridge in the east of the floating harbor. That place was originally an important road to Aedirn. You know... it's a little wider, and that bastard Iorveth rarely appears.

But since some time ago, he gave up his job and lay under the bridge drinking all day, and even robbed merchants who jumped into the river valley, causing serious damage to our profits.

For details, you can go to Robindam to find the local village chief and the drunk and annoying elf Sediq. They know the cause and effect better. This notice was posted by Robindam village chief, so you have to negotiate the remuneration with him yourself. I am not responsible for it."

Victor nodded, "And what about Demetri? I am very curious. I want to know what the so-called amnesty conditions are?"

Staring at Victor's face carefully, especially his pupils for a while, Louis. Mosai pushed his glasses, "Well, you don't look like a spy from anywhere. After all, who would hire a witcher as a spy? That bastard Dmitri, he collected a lot of money, that's it."

The guess in his heart was confirmed, "Thank you very much." The witcher smiled.

...

After finishing the communication with the town sheriff, Victor decided to go back to the Lame Sam Inn first, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to explain to Roche, "Although I think he is a friend, for some reasons, I can't stand with him on the matter of the kingslayer."

But after thinking about it, it was difficult to say it. The other party would not understand. If you want to not offend anyone, it is impossible to be smooth and tactful... I'm afraid I can only tell the truth and see if there is a chance to compensate them later!

After making up his mind, on the way to the Blue Guards' garrison, Victor held the spare steel sword and got familiar with the feel and center of gravity.

After losing his usual Flame Strike in Lavaretti Castle, Victor took out a spare steel sword from his herbal bag. Although it was also made by the elf sword master Hatori, the slight difference in length and the center of gravity balance had to be re-adapted, and the ignition function of Flame Strike was very convenient in daily life.

Walking along the street, I casually saw several incidents of humans beating non-human races and scenes of humans bullying non-human races. The men of Loreto in the city were also very good at taking sides. As he walked, Victor suddenly felt like he was walking on the crater of a volcano.

However, among the residents of the floating port, the ratio of humans to elves is about four to one, and the overwhelming number of humans have weapons in their hands. Once the non-humans start a riot, the more likely result is that the town will be completely "purified".

What a miserable place!

...

Just as he was about to arrive at the building opposite Lame Sam, a man suddenly jumped out and grabbed him, "Ah, I finally waited for you, you really made me look for you."

This was a completely unfamiliar person. Victor looked at him suspiciously. This guy was wearing black velvet clothes, all buttons were buttoned correctly, and he looked like a decent person.

"Sir, I think you recognized the wrong person, I don't know you!"

"No! I didn't recognize you wrongly. Blond hair, blue eyes, unique pupils, ordinary looks, plus two swords behind you, you are the witcher Victor! I came here to pass on the message under the instructions of Taller, and I have something to give you."

"King's Eye" Taller! ? Victor pinched his nose and decided to turn into Batman and beat him up again next time he had the chance. He had such obvious characteristics as four knife scars, but he insisted on saying that he was ordinary, which was obviously a provocation.

Seeing the witcher acquiesce, the messenger puffed out his chest and spoke clearly, "I will quote him faithfully here, 'Please cooperate with Roche. Although he is a bastard, he is also a patriot. Vultures are already circling over Foltest's body, but I will find a way. Please help us catch that bastard!

Note: The actions you took that day were very subtle. I have a bold guess that you may know something in advance, but since it is on our side... Besides, it doesn't matter now.'"

After hearing the message, Victor shook his head. Sure enough, there are no fools in intelligence work. "What does he want to give me?"

The spy in black clothes took out a long package and said, "Take it! I'm so relieved to finally hand it over to you."

well! I'm not fit to be a secret agent. These secrets make me nervous and bring bad luck. I wish you good luck. I'm going to go about my business. "

Weighing it in his hand, the witcher knew that it was a steel sword. It was probably that Taller remembered that he had lost "Flame Strike", so he sent a weapon as a favor. It was of course a gift from the Temerian intelligence chief. It's not too shabby, it's definitely a nice steel sword.

The meaning expressed in the oral message is also very clear. Since Victor's chosen action that day was to rush to meet King Foltest, it was obvious that he was not the same person as the assassin. So no matter what he knew beforehand, Taller Not even prepared to ask further questions.

This is a man with a clear mind, but unfortunately he is also a notorious guy. His influence in the aristocratic circle is almost zero as he engages in intelligence.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer, calm and steady. In Kaer Morhen, you would hear him coming to get some medicine for you almost every day. Victor turned around and waited, and sure enough, it was Geralt of Rivia.

White Wolf originally came to Roche to exchange information, but when he met Victor, he took a different approach and happily motioned to go to the side to talk first.

"Wick...I want to thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Victor was confused for a moment and didn't know what Geralt wanted to thank him for. Seeing the blond witcher's blank expression, the white-haired witcher smiled happily.

"It's Triss's business. Thank you very much! Yesterday we had a long talk in the giant octopus monster's old lair and solved many misunderstandings. She said that because of your enlightenment, she had the courage to talk to me about many things. After communicating, I realized that I had misunderstood her in many places.”

Victor blinked, "Your relationship is going well, that's great... Speaking of the giant octopus monster, there is just something I want to communicate with you. The monster launched an attack at the dock earlier, and I met the sorceress at the scene. Sile Tanshavier, she said she would cooperate with you and invite me to join the hunt!

I think it's very interesting. On the one hand, I want some material about giant octopus monsters. On the other hand, I also think this is a good opportunity to learn. I wonder if you would like me to join? "

Geralt spread his hands and smiled, "There is no doubt that I am happy to share my experience with you. Triss is preparing a mongoose potion to resist monster toxins. It is not expected to be completed until tomorrow. Then we will go to Xi Son, I feel more confident with your participation!”
