Witcher's Atelier

The sorceress opened the portal and left, and the white wolf climbed the rock wall and fled away. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful rose bathhouse returned to calm, and only the sound of water was left.

Victor and Iorveth stepped out from the shadows behind the beams.

Although several days have passed, each day is not long, so the sky is not dark yet.

Reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, you can see that the expression of the elf is not very happy, and the witcher is also a little embarrassed.

Although it may be due to safety considerations, it did not disturb Geralt and Triss's romance, and Iorveth's "silence" was still very respectable.

Otherwise, if the elf rushes out with his sword drawn while they are "crying for a fierce battle", the scene will become very ridiculous and Victor's position will be very embarrassing.

Keeping his gratitude in his heart, the blond witcher got down to business, "They just talked about Silang, what are you going to do next, and is Zoltan Ziva really a Scoia'tael?"

"Is that dwarf your friend?" Seeing Victor nodding, Iorveth shook his head, "We have some tacit understanding and contact, but he does not belong to the Scoia'tael, never has."

"What do you want to do about Geralt's visit?"

"Without Vernon Roche, the legendary White Wolf came to me alone. I will give him a chance to speak, especially when he just mentioned his last words. He showed firm confidence. I am sure that Silang's last words can move me." !”

With his arms relaxed, Victor climbed out of the bathhouse first, and then stretched out his hand to pull Iorveth up while Iorveth was pushing on the wall.

Sitting on the lawn in the garden, they laughed loudly as they recalled what they had experienced in the afternoon.

Laughed for a long time.

"Hey! Io, if you want to meet him, can I watch from a distance?"

"I know your concerns, Wick, so I will tell the truth. It is impossible for me to betray Leisuo, and he will not let go of the King Slayer. This contradiction is irreconcilable.

Although from what he just said, it seems that he does not mean to be directly hostile, the final stance still depends on personal choice.

Of course you can observe it if you want to, but if something bad happens, are you ready to be aware of it? "

Victor didn't answer immediately.

Looking up at the sky, the afterglow of the distant mountains suddenly disappears, and the stars shine a little.

…

The young witcher returned to the floating port in time before the pass was closed at night and went straight to Lame Sam's Inn.

The tavern was as usual, with people punching each other, swearing, gambling, and the inevitable drunkenness, and the atmosphere was full of noisy life.

After a simple meal, Victor went to the basement and went to the "lady's secret space" to take a shower.

He really needed to take a good bath and relax. Yesterday's intense exercise with the giant octopus monster and the post-dissection finishing work required careful cleaning.

Originally, after falling in the afternoon, I considered taking a bath in the Rose Bathhouse, but after it became a battlefield between red and white, it was definitely not suitable to go in and use it. The residue would have psychological consequences, so the witcher had no choice but to return to the city to deal with it.

But unexpectedly, the woman who was waiting for customers in the stairwell saw his mercenary uniform and the two swords behind his back, and hurriedly ran into the technical court, shouting, "No! No! No!" That strange guy from the night before yesterday is here again!”

As a high-quality customer who was praised highly by Mrs. Carmen, given full marks by the waiter who "craved thighs", and was even featured in the Vizima Morning News, Victor never thought that one day he would encounter such a disgraceful attitude.

Besides, what happened the day before yesterday? He went home early to do alchemy and enchantment, and didn't come here to take a shower at all. It must be a mistaken identity, but I just don't know what that "weird guy" did.

After taking a few steps forward and rounding the corner, Mrs. Margot stood in front of the door. When their eyes met, she knew she had recognized the wrong person. She quickly turned her head and shouted, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's not that bastard!" and then stepped forward to greet her. Witcher.

During the first visit, he was introduced by Dandelion. He was kind and generous, and even helped the bard settle the bill. Of course the boss of the "Secret Space" knew such a person.

Victor smiled gently, "Oh, dear lady Margot, what is going on? How could you admit your mistake? Was there a very bad person who came to spend money the day before yesterday? Could it have hurt the lady?"

Margot took Victor's arm and walked inside, "Haha, it's pretty bad, but it didn't cause any serious harm, it's just that the wine was very bad! The worst one among them is the witcher! He happens to be just like you There are two swords on the back, so the little girl misunderstood!"

Victor's heart moved, as if he suddenly thought of something.

Just listen to Margot continue to say, "It's actually funny to say," "Five of them came here, or should I say crawled here... One of the bald ones even ordered five girls, because the one who carried two swords The witcher is the most generous, so I leave the most beautiful girl to him!

Unexpectedly, the way they did it was completely different from that of ordinary soldiers. They actually rode on the girls' backs and asked them to take them to the dock. "

Thinking of that scene, Victor's expression became quite strange.

"A female soldier wearing the same uniform tried to stop them, but failed! Especially the witcher, who insisted on riding on Miss's Bigu across the river. Afraid that he would hurt Miss, a group of us had to follow him to the dock. He tried for several hours, slapping and slapping, but of course it didn't work! Finally, he shouted that he wanted to join the Blue Guards and asked someone to give him a tattoo! I took the opportunity to leave with the lady..."

Thinking of the witcher with the blue iron guard tattoo on his neck, and thinking of the absurdity he had done, Victor suddenly felt that it might be interesting to leave this tattoo for a long time.

Of course, I just think about it, and it has little to do with myself.

Victor spread his hands and showed the most gentle attitude, "It's an interesting anecdote, but now... I need a big bathtub, a soothing massage, the drink is still hot milk, a chocolate hazelnut tart for snacks, and the sheets need to be changed. Make new woolen fabrics and add 'chamomile' with essential oils."

Mrs. Margot smiled and nodded.

…

Many unspeakable things happened that night.

…

The next morning, Victor went to Fugang Forest very early to collect herbs. His main targets were aloe vera and green mold. These two ingredients were mixed with white zinnia petals and mashed. After fermentation and filtering, the juice was produced, which could be used to remove tattoos.

The potion to remove the tattoo still had to be used. After all, it was the request of the seniors, but before handing it over, it was indispensable to laugh at the other party. I didn't expect that White Wolf had such a dark history and had no memory of his past life.

After working hard, they unknowingly discovered many interesting herbs. The alchemist was busy until noon, when an elf came to report, and then he saw Iorveth again under the guidance of the guide.

Beside the forest glade, the commander was wearing a red turban today, "You're here, Wick. I thought you wouldn't come. It was indeed Zoltan's introduction, a formal visit. The two of them will be arriving soon, Zoltan." Tan and Geralt.”

The alchemist wore light leather armor, "Both sides are my friends, so I'd better come and listen in person. Remember what you promised, when everything is under control──"

"──I will let them go." Iorveth answered calmly.

Smiling gratefully, Victor patted the elf on the arm and left.

He lurked a little further away, imitating the breathing rhythm of other ambush elves, and quickly blended into the group. Soon the extraordinary five senses saw their figures and heard the heavy footsteps of Zoltan and Geralt.

Following the instructions, the witcher and the dwarf walked to the center of the forest, and then countless elves appeared and surrounded them. There was no movement between the two of them, at least the elf didn't fire his bow and arrow, which could be regarded as a sign of friendship.

Sure enough, not long after, Iorveth, who was wearing chain-buckled leather armor, two elf scimitars tied to his waist, and carrying a long bow, fearlessly stepped closer alone.

This is not considered arrogant and careless. As long as the commander of the Verihed Brigade has weapons, not even the witchers can easily defeat him.

Stopping at an appropriate distance, the elf clapped his palms twice and said, "White Wolf. Geralt of Rivia, tell me! What do you want to talk to me about? Don't waste time rambling. After all, I don't know the next sentence. , could it be your last words?”

"It's a coincidence that I have the same idea. I believe you are no further away from death than me."

The demon hunter with his white hair tied into a ponytail and a resolute expression faced off against the elf butcher with a fierce voice and a hawk-like attitude.

This attitude obviously dissatisfied the elf commander, "Humph, tell me what you have to say quickly, witcher, and I will kill you after you finish speaking!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding subordinates immediately nocked their arrows and fired their bows.

Caught in a tight siege, the white wolf was fearless, "Let Zoltan leave first, Iorveth, I will do whatever you want."

"You two are the same. A witcher like you who abandons the principle of neutrality will obviously die in an ugly way. And you... the dwarf traitor, you have brought shame to the people!" the elf replied contemptuously.

Zoltan raised his chin, "Bah! You scum, do you know why I spurn you? Because you damn Scoia'tael only kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

Not far away, Victor's face turned green upon hearing this. As the leader of the Scoia'tael, Iorveth must first assume a tough stance in front of his subordinates even if he wants to listen to the other party's speech.

But the white wolf and the dwarf obviously had no professional communication training, and they were fighting pointlessly. Especially Zoltan, who didn't know if he didn't want to die quickly enough, opened his mouth with a map cannon, and directly bombarded the entire Scoia'tael Party. !

Fortunately, Iorveth knew what he was talking about and said in an understatement, "Innocent people? It's really funny that you shouted these words so loudly and excitedly. I will be happy to point out your mistakes before you die, but not now. Brenner The things you did during the war were the reason why you were not killed immediately!"

Finally, Geralt had sense and did not continue to argue, but went straight to the point, "I only want the king-slayer, that is, Leitho, the guy who made me take the blame! You attacked me on the river bank for no reason. This is what you owe me." of!"

The elf shook his head and retorted, "You were standing with Vernon Roche at that time, so you were attacked of course. There are many debts between him and me that need to be paid off. This debt cannot be canceled until I chop off his head.

As for the kingslayer, if you had not obeyed Foltest, you would not have been there when the king was killed. Do you really think I'd betray a useful ally? "

Geralt's cat eyes stared at Iorveth's eagle eyes, making sure that the Elf Commander would never give in unless he came up with something practical.

"...Okay! Lei Suo betrayed you. He wanted to cooperate with your comrade Xi Lang to assassinate you so that Xi Lang could take your place."

Hearing this, Victor breathed a sigh of relief. The exchange was getting to the point, and the content was even more exciting. He would not suspect White Wolf of lying, so he immediately realized that Leisuo would soon lose the elf cover and be exposed in front of him.

As for the White Wolf and Zoltan, judging from the current situation, such an overwhelming gap is absolutely impossible to fight. It is estimated that Iorveth will let them go after this explanation is completed.

"Siran Isnilan is dead. He and his soldiers were ambushed and killed last week. White Wolf, you should be smarter when you lie."

"No, he was still alive as of the day before yesterday. He was lying on the prison barge, badly wounded. He refused Reso's terms, and for that he and his troops paid a heavy price."

Zhaoyin had just heard from the enemy not long ago, and with Victor's guarantee that his senior brother was an upright person, Iorveth somewhat believed Geralt's words and waved to the surrounding subordinates to put down their bows and arrows.

"If what you said is true, then Leisuo deserves to die, but just a few empty words are not enough to prove it. After all, he did what he should do for this world, proving that even if he is a king, he cannot escape death."

White Wolf shook his head, "What should you do!? Then why kill Foltest? I must say that he is quite enlightened, especially tolerant of non-human races."

"You are deceived by appearances. He may be charming, but secretly he suppresses the ancient race of Temeria. Do you really think that there was a riot in Vizima and he knew nothing about it beforehand?

He was just as hateful as all other humans, only his death had more meaning!

Foltest and Demavi III, these two dead kings are detestable. They were cruel and violent and brought disaster to their descendants, just to consolidate their power. Fortunately, in the east, there is a real king rising! "

Victor, who was listening in, frowned. Iorveth’s statement was almost equivalent to admitting that he was the one who instigated Letho! But this has nothing to do with Feng Ma Niu, the object of his original suspicion. In addition, a new keyword appears, "real king"! ?

The alchemist was in a tangle, but the conversation on the field continued.

"Elf, so you still trust Leitho just because he is a human who is willing to do your dirty work for you?"

Geralt's words were heard, and Iorveth suddenly remembered Victor's previous advice. A person who is determined to kill the king and is willing to take risks can never be too careful.

So the elf took a deep breath and said, "Maybe you are lying?"

"If I lie, then so does Xi Lang?" Bai Lang responded coldly.

Iorveth turned his head and said, "For Silang's sake, let us find out. Come with me and see how Reso reacts to your sensational news."

"Where are they now?"

"The ruins of Kamaiwei, for some reason, he seems to like to stay there. According to the agreement he and I made, we will not bring more than ten people with us each time we pass by, and I have no intention of breaking it until I am sure that he is a traitor. Promise, so dwarf, you can go back first."

Geralt looked at Zoltan, nodded to the dwarf, and asked him to leave first.

On the other side in the dense forest, when he finally heard the whereabouts of Leisuo, Victor almost jumped up and ran. He was confident that he would arrive as quickly as possible, but unfortunately he found that he had no idea where the ruins of Kamaiwi were... ….

In other words, you still have to continue to follow them. Of course, there are benefits. Victor admits that listening can get a lot of important information, especially some sharp topics. His position is not convenient to ask.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the darling of the world, Geralt, the Sword of Destiny. When others have nothing to do, he can find the fulcrum to exert force!
