Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 303: Saint Lady Rules Know When to Advance and Retreat

Perhaps the term "eyeball economy" is not a household name.

But the "beauty economy", a sub-project of the eyeball economy, will never go out of style.

As we all know, there is only one Earth, but there are two Oppai!

The world-famous painting "Liberty Leading the People" tells us that the European style of beautiful women can make men move forward bravely and create countless miracles!

History has never lacked women who led fanatical crowds to victory, such as the brave and combative Joan of Arc or the infamous Falga.

It is worth noting that not only Oppain can do it, but also full and round ones have a similar effect!

With a voluptuous troop of girls at the front, countless warriors will forget the wheat harvest, his own woman, and the half-pint of wine stored in the inn.

Of course, it must be emphasized here that all the above-mentioned heroines not only have leadership skills, but also need to be beautiful. Slanted eyes, missing teeth and a face full of acne scars usually do not arouse people's yearning for freedom(?)

For example, a woman like Saskia with blond curly hair, fair and smooth skin, bright eyes, white teeth, pretty lips, a full mind and a round waist is undoubtedly the "embodiment of freedom."

Seeing her is like seeing freedom. No wonder the peasant army uprising can develop in full swing.

Her charm is comparable to King Arthur Pendragon, and countless people are willing to follow her to the end of the horizon!

In the evening, shortly after the round table meeting ended, Iorveth, who had exchanged opinions with Saskia, walked along the mountain road to Angouleme's residence.

The wooden sign "Victor's Alchemy Workshop" was nailed on the door, and melodious music came from inside, proving that he was looking for the right place. After knocking on the door and getting no response, the elf entered the house directly.

Entering the living room through the entrance hall, Victor slumped on the sofa like Ge You. Although Iorveth didn't know who Ge You was, this lazy and relaxed posture was universal.

When he saw the elf appear, he picked up a bottle of red wine and a wine glass and placed them on the seat opposite him, and continued drinking milk.

Iorveth sat down and poured himself a drink.

"Thank you so much for what happened during the day today. Whether it was rescuing Saskia from the fog or coming to the roundtable, you didn't have to do any of this."

"It doesn't matter. I'm willing to admit defeat. After witnessing it with my own eyes, I admit that in order to realize the utopia you mentioned, Saskia is the best candidate for the king. She has amazing beauty, miraculous bravery and overwhelming commanding power."

"Why do I hear a strange feeling from them even though they are all good words?"

Stretching his limbs, Victor stretched out his hand to turn off the music, "Maybe it's because I'm suspicious by nature! Frankly speaking, the Saint of Aedirn is too good to be true, and she doesn't seem like a human being.

Not to mention that I saved her in the fog, and I showed up to save others. With the strength of the dragon slayer, even without me, she will be able to defeat the war ghosts and demon spirits in the end, but a few more people will die. "

Iorveth smiled and said nothing.

"The speech just now is also worthy of mentioning. It is obviously ordinary words, but what the saint said made me feel sincere, as if she really believed this and would really do this. This kind of persuasion directly touches people's hearts. Too rare."

The elf poured another glass of wine and pushed it in front of the witcher, "Why didn't you think that you were facing a once-in-a-lifetime hero?"

"I don't believe in miracles. It's hard for verbal encouragement to have an effect on me. If it weren't for the fact that the wolf sect badge didn't vibrate, I would almost suspect that it was the influence of magic."

"Hahahaha! I didn't believe in miracles before, until I met the Dragon Slayer.

Let me tell you a secret. I am actually very sensitive to human gaze. After hundreds of years of experience, I can easily tell who is pretending to be equal and who is truly equal.

The reason why I looked at you differently at first was because you didn't think there was anything despicable about elves. It was not for the purpose of taking advantage. In your eyes, humans and elves are equal. From that moment on, I believe you come from the town of Bell, east of Serikania. "

Iorveth clinked glasses with the other party, "And Saskia, the Saint of Aden, thinks so too. Regardless of human or non-human race, they are all equal in front of her."

Thinking back to the incomparable charm when she spoke during the meeting... The witcher blinked and took a sip of the red wine.

Seeing that Victor remained silent, Iorveth shook his head and chuckled, "You will believe it sooner or later anyway. So, is there anything I can do to help with this thick fog?"

After finishing his wandering thoughts, the witcher came back to his senses and touched his nose, "Well... not at the moment. In fact, you don't need to pay too much attention to the battlefield spirits..." He noticed the confusion of the elves as he spoke, and continued to explain with a smile, "The situation It's serious, but not urgent. Philippa concluded that the fog will continue to spread and cover Vergen, but I'm not sure if she knows that the process will take at least several months."

The reason why Victor is certain is that he relies on his mutated sense of magic to help him make a judgment. It would be impossible for an ordinary witcher to make a correct assessment.

Before his explanation, Iorveth was just confused, but after hearing it, he was shocked. There is no reason why Philippa can't do what the witcher can do...

The fog that separated the north and the south had an indescribable impact on this war. If it lasted long enough, it could even cause Kaedwen to retreat on his own. However, the sorceress did not mention such important information at the meeting. Her stated opinion was that it must be resolved as soon as possible.

"……Is what you said true?"

"I believe in my judgment. The spread of the fog cannot maintain the current frequency. The expansion speed will inevitably drop vertically after half a month. However, Philippa is not an ordinary sorceress. She is skilled and trusted by the dragon slayer, so I don't intend to spoil it. She may have other considerations for not explaining.

Please remember that this is our private conversation. I will not admit that I have talked about it after leaving this door. I suggest that you don't mention it to Saskia. In practice, I will try my best to help you. After all, I also want to see a country where humans and non-human races coexist peacefully."

After saying this, facing the suspicious elf, the witcher smiled and picked up the bottle to help him fill the glass.

...

The morning run came to an end the next morning. Victor collected information on the bulletin board in front of the "Black God Cauldron" tavern. There were not many interesting things, and even fewer related to witchers.

"The Bounty of the Man-faced Bird"

Listen, good citizens of Vergen, since there are many brave heroes gathered in our Vergen, maybe one of them would be willing to perform a public service and go to the nest of the man-faced bird and completely exterminate them? I promise to pay a generous reward and give the monster killer eternal glory.

With best regards

Mayor Cecil Burden

《Reward for the Queen of the Man-faced Bird》

Attention! I hereby offer a large reward for the Queen of the Man-faced Bird, or as others call her──the Mother of the Man-faced Bird. Be aware that this beast is not to be trifled with, and many hunters have been crushed by her sharp teeth. This will be a tough battle. The warrior who can kill this winged cousin for us will be rewarded.

Mayor Cecil Burden

From the two notices, it can be seen that the "Man-faced Bird" is the main problem in Vergen at present. This monster has an ugly appearance, the smell of rotting corpses and bird droppings, and a cry that makes people's hair stand on end. Except for the fact that they all have wings, it is difficult to accept that the "Sirens"──mermaids are actually their distant relatives in any other aspects.

Tearing off the two notices, Victor decided to visit Philippa Ehart first according to the distance, and then visit Cecil Burden.

Many people on the road knew the residence of the sorceress, and because they wanted to stay away from it, Victor soon arrived at the upper city, where there was a special stone sculpture in front of the door.

After ringing the doorbell and getting no response, the young man opened the door and entered the house.

The layout was similar to Angouleme's house. This was a cave with simple decorations. The few pieces of furniture were very exquisite, just like the Redania Palace he had visited before, luxurious but not extravagant, cool and quiet.

Noticing the obvious fluctuations of magic power, Victor walked through the living room and went to the back. Then he knew why the house was quiet, because the bedroom was shrouded in a layer of light blue soundproof barrier.

The sudden dim light did not hinder the extraordinary vision of the Samsara Eye.

Philippa Ehart and another woman were discussing the fourteen uses of nunchaku on the bed.

Although the barrier blocked the silence, silence was better than sound at this time. Through the soft and passionate expressions of the two women, the young man could fully imagine the roar of killing and how harsh and violent the battle was.

According to common sense, Victor should quietly leave now and come back after a while, but unfortunately, the two disheveled women also found him standing outside.

The strange woman shyly moved behind the sorceress, but Philippa sat up and smiled nonchalantly, looked into the eyes of the young man for a moment, and waved to him to enter the barrier.

The sorceress's lips were red and moist.

The witcher's steel sword was ready to move.

This step in, suddenly open up.

This step out, the world is wide open.

In a flash of thought, Victor smiled in response, touched his chest and bowed 90 degrees, and left the dormitory with a bent waist.

After a while, Philippa Ehart, who was neatly dressed, entered the living room. The red spaghetti-strap robe cleverly wrapped the strong elder. She sat opposite the witcher in a graceful and calm manner, as if nothing had happened just now.

When the blonde and blue-eyed woman brought tea up, Victor recognized that she was Philippa's mage apprentice, the sorceress Cynthia, who had been in the same car with him in Tretog.

There was no need to beat around the bush, so the young man chose to get straight to the point. "Good day, dear Ms. Ehrhart, forgive my sudden visit. I'm glad to meet you here, but at the same time I'm also very curious, why would the Pearl of the Court of Tretog come to support the rebellion in Pontar Valley?"

"This is not a simple rebellion, witcher, you have just arrived and of course you can't understand it. Prince Stannis's visit here is equivalent to recognizing that Saskia is qualified to represent Aedirn."

"But Saskia is not fighting for Aedirn, she is fighting for Pontar Valley. I don't think Prince Stannis recognizes you. The reason why he didn't turn against you now is simply because the war with Kaedwen is imminent -"

" - and the strength does not allow it." The sorceress added with ease.

Her black eyes are clear, and it seems like a deep lake when you look into them.

"Victor, you are a smart man, so I will waste a few words on you. This is related to the duties of the royal advisor. If Henselt occupies the Pontar Valley, Redania and Temeria will definitely fight back strongly, and the Northern Alliance will disintegrate and no longer be united.

And this dark ending can be avoided. As long as Saskia defeats Henselt and wins independence for the valley, it can create a new balance as a buffer for the four northern countries."

Originally, before the visit, according to the information shared with Siegfried in his previous life, Victor guessed that Philippa should have been forced by Radovid to flee Redania in a panic and come to join the dragon slayer who was preparing to establish a country.

But from what she said, she came to maintain the balance, which seemed to make sense. This fox has excellent expression management. Victor, who had no way to judge whether it was true or not, simply continued to ask.

"Let's put aside Stannis's opinion. Even if Saskia defeated Henselt, without the recognition of Redania and Temeria, Pontar Valley still has no independence."

"It's not as complicated as you think. Temeria's expansionist plan has disappeared with the death of Foltest. The ruler of Redania is not easy to predict, but even Radovid has to pay tribute to the winner. I am here to ensure that this victory will come true!"

After careful consideration, Victor, with his shallow political literacy, admitted that this matter is indeed feasible.

"Thank you for your response, which answered my doubts. One more thing, have you seen other witchers while you were here? Perhaps there was a tall and strong guy with muscles as solid as granite who appeared in front of you. He is Kingslayer Letho, the murderer of King Foltest. He may also have killed Demave. He kidnapped Triss Merigold in the floating harbor and forced her to teleport to this area. Can you help me find them?"

Just as Victor finished speaking, he vaguely heard the sound of something falling in the dormitory.

"Of course, we sorceresses must unite in the face of so many enemies. She just contacted me through the telescope not long ago, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing next. Wait... Not good... A few days ago, a local drunk claimed to have seen a red-haired woman falling from the sky. This may be a clue."

"Falling from the sky? Are you serious?"

"Maybe it's just a drunken delusion, but it may also be an unstable portal that blasted Triss to the vicinity of the town."

Victor frowned. What the sorceress said was not good news. "Can you find her current location?"

"I can't track her out of thin air, but if you can find her personal belongings in the past few days, I can try to cast a spell. "

"Okay, let's go back to the beginning. I'll go talk to the drunkard. Do you know him?"

"I don't often deal with drunkards, but you can probably find him in the Black God Cauldron. I don't think he can resist the Axis seal.

Before you leave, let's talk about something serious! Regarding the dangerous blood curse that shrouds the battlefield, I need the assistance of the witcher. Are you willing to help me collect some items? This activity is certainly not free, and I am happy to pay enough. "

When Philippa said "enough price" in a magnetic voice, although he knew that the other party was talking about golden crowns, Victor couldn't help but think of the snow-white and bright red he had just seen.

After coughing twice, the witcher nodded and agreed, "You help me, I help you, this is reasonable. I accept your commission, of course you also need to provide enough information. "
