Witcher's Atelier

After experiencing the dream, Victor cremated Serrit.

In the evening, the witcher who left the valley walked into the spirit mist and set off to return to Vergen in the south.

Having lost two friends in a short period of time, although he did not think that Dandelion would be stupid enough to stay with Shikodi and be killed by the female night demon, he still wanted to go to the ruins to check it out first.

The next step was to help Saskia remove the highly toxic "ghost element". As the spiritual pillar of the Vergen resistance, it was always a good thing to cure the saint as soon as possible.

Calculating the items needed for treatment, Philippa Ehrhardt prescribed a prescription including memory rose, mountain sage, magic items and king's blood.

The memory rose has been delivered, and the mountain sage has abundant reserves, and the magic items can also use "Dragon's Dream".

As for the last material "King's Blood", Victor decided to go to Prince Stannis's house to donate blood tonight while the moon is dark and the wind is high. In addition, the alchemist also wanted to do some scientific experiments on his "King's Body".

This is what happened... Not long ago, when Victor finished his psychic dream and sorted out his relics, he took out the Viper School dagger to remember. He held the hilt and inadvertently heard the "sound of a weapon"──

...

[Name: Serrit's Dagger]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack Power: Normal]

[Features: Kingslayer Unicorn Bloodline]

[Enchantment: None]

[Remarks: Customized Dagger for Viper School Witch Hunters]

...

This was the weapon that Serrit threw at Henselt last night, causing only minor scratches on the king. Victor didn't notice it when he recovered it in the morgue tent in Oaks. He was shocked when he took it in his hand and examined it while remembering.

The Void Characteristics of the Demon Hunting World have always been sparsely distributed. In the past, he never thought that there would be local specialties, and he never expected that the concept of "Kingslayer" that did not exist in the Alchemy World could actually manifest as a Void Characteristic!

...

[Name: Kingslayer Unicorn Bloodline]

[Applicable to: Weapons]

[Effect: 10-yard range, "hostile target" greatly increases all abilities and armor penetration when possessing unicorn bloodline]

...

At first glance, the scope of use is very narrow, and the conditions are very harsh. The enemy must have unicorn bloodline, that is, the Kaedweni royal family, and must be close enough to activate it.

But... I'm afraid of this but, the "large" in the effect description is no joke, second only to the prefix "leap forward". You must know that the Hammer of Justice or the Terrible Overlord are only "effective".

In other words, this is a very powerful void feature in a specific situation. When you want to kill Henselt, use it - the gods will descend within a 10-yard range, and everyone will be killed in a short distance!

Consider the usage of this feature, then the question is, how did this feature appear?

If Serrit had this feature on the dagger when he rushed into the tent, Victor didn't think he could stop him, and he might be killed by him in a face-to-face encounter.

So suppose there was none at the beginning, and from the time the dagger flew out of his hand to the time it fell into Victor's hand, there was only one process in between - it hit King Henselt of Kaedwen, and then it acquired this void characteristic?

Was it given by the act of assassination? Or was it the effect of "Blood of the King"? Or even was it triggered only when both were satisfied at the same time? Victor hoped to find the answer.

The witcher quickly passed through the spirit mist, and the fighting and wailing of the skeleton ghosts continued to linger and echo behind him day and night.

…

Arriving at the deserted village late at night, the desolate scenery remained the same. Finding the secret door in his memory, the witcher opened it.

"Ｒ-Ｏ-Ｏ-Ｍ! Ｒ-Ｏ-Ｏ-Ｍ! Ｒ-Ｏ-Ｏ-Ｏ-Ｏ-ＯＷＯ!"

The rhythmic English teaching of Ms. Shi Kodi floated out from inside.

The other domineering voice also spoke good English, "HO-R-R-R! WO-O-O-O! WO-HO-O-O-YA!"

It was obvious that both men and women were destined to be strong and were eager to fight.

Victor, who was unexpectedly run over by a truck, leaving only two tire marks, couldn't help but wonder if he should shout "Vosloda" to help them cheer up.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. If he didn't do it well, he might scare the fierce general and make him unable to move, or even break his halberd on the spot. That scene was too bloody.

Climbing the ladder quietly to the underground, he followed the corridor and stepped into the boudoir of the female night demon Lady Shikodi again. Victor only planned to see if Dandelion was still there. If not, he would leave quietly and never take a second look.

The extraordinary hearing did not hear the breathing of others, so as long as the fierce general on the bed was not Dandelion, he could return to Vergen with peace of mind.

Going around the screen, he suddenly felt that the voice of this brave man sounded familiar, but Victor didn't pay much attention to it, and looked directly at the princess's bed──.

………

(灬ω灬)

……

()

…

(ω).

The fierce general who fought with Ms. Shikodi was the Sword of Destiny, the strongest horse in the north, Geralt of Rivia.

They looked at each other, the cat's eyes and the eyes of the reincarnation stared at each other, and the so-called embarrassment was like this. Victor felt that he should not be here, but under the car.

And what was even more terrifying was what happened next... Because Geralt stopped moving, Shikodi found Victor standing by the bed in a daze.

With her tiger teeth exposed and pretty, the female night demon stretched out her jade arm to hook the young man's hand, and her huge evil with wheat-colored and bright red embellishments swayed in the air.

"Welcome back, thank you for ending the suffering of that idiot, do you want to come together?"

…

At this moment.

"Geralt! Wick! Don't!" Ciri suddenly sat up with sweat dripping down her back, covering her face and unwilling to believe the scene she had just seen.

Yes, when Victor was held by the hand, in a different world in the endless time and space, in a tent in the snow and ice of Siberia, Ciri woke up from a nightmare again!

The scene she saw was very blurry, but the extremely evil and terrifying threat was beyond doubt.

Although it was incomprehensible why Wick had fought with Geralt last time, why would he "fight together" this time, but... that scene, she covered her face and didn't want to believe it.

Why did they suddenly become friends from enemies? Behind all this, is it the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature!

Just as she was panting, a hand suddenly stretched out from the sleeping bag, pulled the towel by the bed to wipe her cold sweat, "Ciri, are you okay, dreaming about the future again?"

Staring at the gentle and considerate good woman beside her, the daughter of time and space didn't know what to say for a while.

Laura Croft, a brave female college student, met Ciri on an island closed by abnormal weather a year ago.

They joined forces to defeat the legendary Queen of Yamatai, allowing the island to see the light of day again, and jointly studied the 14 ways to use the nunchaku.

However, happy life is always short-lived. On the ship returning to Laura's hometown, a sudden nightmare reminded Ciri that she still had unfinished responsibilities, so she chose to leave.

But she never expected that after launching the "unreliable crossing", Ciri directly arrived in the same world a year later and appeared directly beside Laura - the ancient city of "Kit City" in Siberia.

This city was founded by George II, the great prince of Vladimir, in the 13th century. Legend has it that it hides the secret of immortality.

When her friends encounter difficulties, the "Daughter of Time and Space" will certainly not stand by and watch. She immediately joins hands with Laura again to fight against the mysterious organization "Holy Trinity", survive under the threat of enemies, beasts and harsh environment, and find the truth behind the legend.

Until this night, when the two of them were sleeping in a tent in the snow, she was awakened by a nightmare.

Wiping away the cold sweat, Laura, who was wearing a ponytail, had moist eyes and kissed Ciri's forehead, "Another nightmare, something bad must have happened in my hometown?

It's okay for me... Even if I'm alone, I have the confidence to defeat the evil organization, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon this time."

"...Uh...No, I don't plan to leave." Thinking of the shocking scene she just saw, Ciri suddenly felt tired, "Although it was a nightmare, I plan to continue activities here for a while."

"Don't be sorry, everyone has her mission...Wait, you're not leaving?"

Ciri shook her head firmly and smiled bitterly, "In fact, I think they are living a happy life now and don't need me at all."

After saying that, she hugged her bestie and looked into Laura's gentle eyes. After practicing nunchakus, they fell asleep peacefully to reserve energy for tomorrow's battle.

...

Returning to the world of demon hunting, Victor Corleone, professor emeritus of the Department of Philosophy at Oxenfurt University, was thinking about moral issues with his eyes closed.

The so-called "moral universalism" is a monistic ethical position that believes that there is a universal ethics that is universally applicable to everyone, regardless of their culture, race, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation or other different characteristics.

For example, human nature has common weaknesses, such as arrogance, greed, lust, jealousy, gluttony, anger and laziness... etc. Or the universal rational requirements in various cultures, as well as the commands of God.

Compared with "moral universalism", Victor's values ​​are actually closer to "moral relativism".

Moral relativists, in contrast to moral universalism, insist that there is no universal standard for evaluating ethics.

In philosophy, moral relativism believes that morality or ethics does not reflect objective or universal moral truth, but advocates that morality should be affected by social, cultural, historical or personal circumstances.

The relativist position believes that moral values ​​only apply within specific cultural boundaries or in the context of personal choices. Extreme relativism even suggests that the moral judgments or behaviors of other individuals or groups have no reference significance for individuals.

In short, after so much time-delaying gossip, the focus is on the roof of the ruined village, where you can see the beautiful moonlight tonight.

There was a sound of footsteps. Geralt, who had hurriedly finished fighting the Night Demon, approached and climbed up the roof easily. He sat next to Victor to enjoy the moon together.

"Where are the Dandelions?" Victor asked.

Geralt's white hair shone like the fur of a white wolf under the moonlight. "He has returned to Vergen a long time ago. He was the one who asked me to search for the murderous Scoia'tael nearby."

"No need to look for him! The bastard's name is Elias, and he has been punished and executed by Lanxi. Oh... Lanxi is Iorveth's adjutant."

"I know. I visited your house. Angouleme talked to me about many things, including your friendship with the 'Kingkillers'."

The tone of their conversation was peaceful, and Geralt didn't say anything, but Victor knew what he meant. Let's turn the page on the unpleasantness of the past and pretend it never happened, or let it happen but don't care.

"Let's bet a thousand crowns. You have a deep friendship with the 'Kingslayers'. Will you open the market after you recover your memory?"

"I bet two thousand crowns!"

White Wolf counterattacked sharply. The Dragonborn laughed loudly at first, then sighed softly. He thought that even if Geralt recovered his memory with the Viper School, Oaks and Serrit would never come back.

Not knowing what Victor was thinking, Geralt lay back, "I'll tell you a secret, my memories are showing signs of recovery... For a long time they were just fragments, but recently I can feel that they are reuniting. one."

Under the bright moonlight, Victor whistled, "Restore memory!? What did you remember?"

The white wolf's voice was hoarse and magnetic, "...I think of a trip in winter, an endless pursuit to the south. I tracked Yennefer and the Wild Hunt. I don't know how long I have been pursuing.

Wolves, drowned undead and carrion demons appeared in large numbers... In one village I passed, only the old man was left. They refused to tell me what was happening to the young men and children... until I used my sigil to force one to reveal information. He told me it was the 'Wild Hunt' that took away young people and children. "

"Haha, Wild Hunt, the ghost knights led by the King of the Wild Hunt. They wear rusty armor, hold lightning-shaped swords in their hands, ride skeleton horses, and cross the sky in groups.

Anyone who sees the Wild Hunt in the night sky will be too frightened to move, and anyone who blocks their path will surely die or disappear. In addition to burning down orchards and houses, the Wild Hunt will also take away living people to expand the ranks of ghost riders. "Victor smiled and recited "The Wild Hunt" he had read.

Geralt said solemnly, "Wick, you are talking about the records in the story books, and I am beginning to believe that there are some real parts in these myths. Some very ancient elven poems also mention the Wild Hunt. Continuing to prey on young people to fight for them.”

I also began to believe that I would eventually find Triss and Yennefer, and my memories and feelings seemed to be inseparable. I seem to get both back at the same time... I believe they are still alive and I will find them eventually! "

"You are right, Triss and Yennefer. White Wolf, they lead your life." Victor also lay down and looked up at the stars.

"Actually, there is a big philosophical problem with saying this, Wick. First of all, we don't know whether Yennefer is still alive. Secondly, we don't know where Triss is now. Angouleme took me to visit Philippa in the evening. , but she said that Triss could not be found in the search range."

"Yeah, you're right. It's like you seem to have two women, but you may suddenly have no one at the next second...

But don’t be too pessimistic. Well, since you told me what you believe, I'll tell you what I believe too.

First of all, I believe that people like them will never die easily. Secondly, I firmly believe in your belief that you will eventually find Triss and Yennefer who are safe and sound. "

Looking sideways at Victor's almost prophetic piety and solemnity, Geralt shook his head and laughed, and said angrily, "I think something is strange. You seem to have more confidence in me than I do myself."

"Of course, you are Geralt of Rivia, the legendary witcher. Speaking of which, you are in love with Triss. Have you figured out how to face Yennefer?"

"Everyone, including Triss, told me I loved Yennefer, but I didn't know what to do until I met her."

The two chatted.

After previous conflicts and misunderstandings, their conversations now become more natural.

…

The night passed and dawn approached. After chatting, the witchers parted ways. Victor went to Vergen, and Geralt returned to the Kaedwen camp.
