Witcher's Atelier

Promotional Pamphlet "Henselt the Pig"

How can King Henselt be a pig?

Let me enumerate the reasons for this. One is his insatiable appetite. Just as a boar eats everything it can and licks its lips for it, so Henselt feasts on his neighbors.

This pig doesn't care if the food is fresh or not, and seems to have a taste for carrion. For example, Henselt is raiding Aedirn, a country that has lost its king and is dying like a dying man.

Pigs can only see as high as the ground, so Henselt is also short-sighted and cannot foresee the consequences of his evil deeds. Since his motivations are equivalent to the pigs satisfying their own needs, he will eventually lead his army and the kingdom to destruction...

Promotional Pamphlet "Henselt the Artisan"

Kaedwen is the backbone of the North, but Henselt's actions to please the Imperial envoys are like a cheap artisan picking on the common people who come to the art academy with full pockets.

Don't forget, the virgin let her body be raped in bed - it can be her choice. But Kaedwen is not a virgin, he belongs to all of us. Can we let the Nilfgaardians march straight in and ravage our country?

Can anyone forget the massacre in Cintra? Think about it! We don't need to please the southerners at all. They are cruel and rude. They will definitely hurt the virgins of Kaedwen. We will never accept that kind of experience!

...

After returning to the Kaedwen camp, Geralt found that the atmosphere of preparation for war in the camp became more and more relaxed after two days of absence. People were whispering everywhere, and these changes were closely related to the two leaflets above.

Before leaving, he had read "Henselt the Pig" and could guess that it was written by Vernon Roche. The content was offensive but lacked creativity.

But the newly discovered "Henselt the virgin" was so vicious and intimidating that he applauded.

If he didn't know that Dandelion was writing a hymn to the rebels in Vergen, he would have thought that such a harsh thing was the work of a bard.

But Dandelion was obviously too busy to do anything, so he thought of the dragonborn poet. With Victor's personality, it was not surprising that he did such a thing.

Shaking his head and laughing, the white wolf passed through the unicorn door and approached the highland king's tent.

The extraordinary five senses vaguely heard Henselt's roar.

...

At the same time, on the other side of the river, Victor stood in front of the "Black God Cauldron" and read the notice board.

Vergen Announcement "Mine Production Restoration and Military Training"

Good news! The monsters in the mines in the upper city have been cleared and production will resume from now on.

But Henselt is ready to move across the river! To ensure that we have sufficient armaments, only miners who mine weapons raw materials can enter and exit for the time being. Nothing is more important than war!

Everyone who is fine should bravely participate in the basic military training organized by Yarpan and Zoltan. I have made up my mind and bound everyone, including those who may ask me to change my mind, to abide by this rule.

Anyone who disagrees with my decision, please come to me during working hours.

Mayor Cecil. Burden

…

Vergen Announcement "A Horrible Crime"

We hereby solemnly announce the detention of our suspected prince, Stannis, who is believed to have conspired with his priest Olcon and guard Blohan to poison and murder Saint Saskia. This accusation will be tried at the "Symposium of Wise Elders" after the war.

Note: Whoever obtains breakthrough evidence or discovers the location of priest Olcon, if he is still alive, should inform me, and anyone who provides conclusive information will be rewarded.

Mayor Cecil. Burden

…

Back in Vergen, Victor found that the atmosphere of preparation for war in the city has become more rigorous after two days of absence, and people are whispering everywhere, and these changes are closely related to the above two notices posted everywhere.

Before leaving, he had read "Mine Production Restoration and Military Training". As the main force involved in cleaning up the mine, there was nothing special about this notice.

But the sudden occurrence of "A Horrible Crime" and the subsequent magical development made him slap his hands in surprise.

First of all, they are medieval mobs whose minds have been liberated by Saskia. They are still very courageous to do what they say. No matter whether Prince Shitan is wronged or not, they will be detained first.

But if they are really mobs, they should hang the prince on a tree or cut him into pieces. In addition, beating him to death is also popular among the people.

But detaining him like this means that the guards Blohan and the soldiers who are loyal to the prince have to stay and fight even if they are reluctant. This is a very overall way of dealing with it. It doesn't seem like an impulsive mob behavior, but it seems that someone is behind the scenes.

Angouleme was not seen in the "Black God Pot", but Dandelion, Zoltan and Yarpan who were awake were seen. There were also many dwarves beside them. This is incredible. Usually they will not wake up until noon.

Victor decided to talk to them first to keep up with the pace of changes in the world.

...

Dandelion, who was the first to see Victor, waved and said, "Victor! It's great to see you. God knows how much I missed you before."

"I know, I'll visit Shikodi on the way back. But you disappoint me so much, I thought you could hold on longer."

"... Nonsense... Nonsense, of course I can hold on longer! I left early because Vergen needs me, and the people here need my poetry to inspire them!"

"Really? I don't believe it. How about we go to the ruins again now?"

Being pushed up to the point where he had nothing to say, Dandelion drank the light fruit wine as if nothing had happened and ignored Victor.

The witcher laughed happily, "Hey, come and have a drink! Zoltan, tell me what happened when Prince Stennis was arrested?"

The dwarf clinked glasses with Victor.

"It's nothing special. The people firmly believe that Prince Stennis is related to the poisoning of Saskia, and they want to kill him for revenge."

Victor: "Saskia is not dead. Who organized them?"

Zoltan replied: "A peasant named Kartan, the peasant representative in the city council, who doesn't listen to anyone except Saskia."

Dandelion faced the dwarf and answered, "He is still a rough man, and he doesn't mind robbing and hurting people for any reason. I heard that he especially likes to attack nobles, and he will bury the stolen money in the valley."

Ignoring the arrogant Dandelion, no man is cute no matter how arrogant he is. Victor continued to ask, "Then who stopped them?"

"At first, it was Scullen Burden, Cecil's young nephew and the captain of our autonomous team who led people to stop them, trying to maintain order.

It's a pity that Kaltan just shouted, 'You bastard who bullies kind people! Where were you when Saskia was poisoned? ’ and he withered.

Next came the knights and noble landowners... However, they could only confront the people and protect Prince Stennis in the cave until Iorveth finally came out to preside over order.

When he arrived with his archers, 'If you want to walk out of this courtyard unscathed, put down your weapons! ’ Everyone chose to listen to his opinion─”

Victor couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that the one who maintained order in Vergen and prevented internal strife and consumption was actually the leader of the Scoia'tael, who can be called the public enemy of mankind. This cannot but be said to be an irony.

"──Geralt was also very helpful," Dandelion added. "He gave an impromptu speech about rationality and the rule of law, explaining the great harm of lynching without definite evidence. Even I felt that He said it well, so in the end everyone decided to lock up the prince and wait until Saskia was cured and the war was over before investigating the truth.

Victor doesn't care in his heart whether the feces are white or not. In fact, he prefers the presumption of guilt, but no matter what, the king's blood needs to be donated.

"So where is the prince now?"

"We still live in the same place, but the door is now guarded by the Scoia'tael." Yalpen, who was next to him, suddenly joined the conversation. After speaking, he tugged on Victor's sleeve and walked into the room first.

Knowing that the dwarf wanted to talk to him privately, he drank the light fruit wine in his glass and followed the witcher into the room.

Yarpan raised his head without being polite and asked, "Wick, I heard from Iorveth that I am collecting medicinal materials to treat Saskia. How is the progress now?"

This question is not suitable to be asked in public, but there is no need to hide it when facing dwarves.

"We still lack the final materials, but I will get them soon."

"That's good. I just want to say that I've had a feeling in the past few days that Philippa Earhart is suspicious. I suspect she's trying to do something in this mess. You know, sorceresses love plotting. Until there are tumors down there!”

Choking at Yalpen's words, Victor almost laughed out loud, "Oh... my dear bearded friend, we are on a leaky boat and we don't even know if we can continue sailing. I know you Hate the sorceress, but it’s better than the racist Henselt, can you try to put your hatred aside?”

"It's true that we hate them, but I don't say it casually. I really feel this way. Is it because of their secret knowledge or Ohnoko that you are helping them speak like this? Victor, remember My words, their heads are full of shit.”

This nonsensical conversation amused the witcher.

"Hahahaha, you are exaggerating. But to put it another way, even if they step back a million steps and their heads are full of shit, they still have Ohnoko. So what exactly do you want to say to me?"

"..., maybe not all of them are like this, but Erhardt is the worst. Do I need to remind you how she sold Bigu to Dijkstra in order to learn about the Redania Intelligence Agency's plan? Fu Everyone in Jian knows she’s not keen on dicks.”

Of course Victor knows Philippa's preference, he has witnessed it with his own eyes, but judging from her invitation, she shouldn't dislike men either.

Thinking of the dangerous fat white man Sigismund in the Novigrad bathhouse. Dijkstra, and the dignified and glamorous sorceress Philippa. Erhart, actually used to be boyfriend and girlfriend, Victor really couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

He had this incident in his memory from his previous life, but he didn't pay much attention to it before. The love story between the fat white man and the sorceress was just the background. ...Pure and flawless "true love", the kind that wants the other person to die.

Yarpan kept talking, "I told you that the incident on Sunide Island was caused by people like her. Do you think she would be different here? Victor, I don't know how to speak, and neither does Saskia." It will only shut me up, but it will be fine with Yunon. As soon as Saskia gets better, tell her to be careful of Philippa."

Regarding Yalpen's warning, Victor touched his chin, "Wrong reasoning can occasionally lead to correct conclusions. I agree with your conclusion. We must beware of Philippa. It is right to be wary of sorceresses at any time."

But I must clarify Mr. Dijkstra's reputation. He has not the slightest interest in inescaping. "

…

After spending some time in the Black God Cauldron and listening to normal and nonsensical intelligence, the witcher Victor went to the back mountain camp to look for Iorveth.

He needed permission from the Scoia Party - permission to visit Prince Stannis.

But unexpectedly, Iorveth was not there. The one who came to receive him was Lanxi Isnilan. The dreadlocked girl looked more majestic than in the past few days, and the elves around her seemed to respect her more.

"Iorveth said he was fed up with the clamor of these civilians and nobles. Saskia was the best leader he had ever met, but she couldn't defeat Henselt's army with these mobs, so he went to the east to gather reinforcements. There were still many Scoia Party troops there."

The adjutant briefly explained the reason why the commander was absent, and after the witcher explained his purpose, he immediately gave him a pass.

Victor, who received the pass, immediately returned to the city.

After arriving, he looked at the sky. There was still time before night, so he chose to visit Philippa first. He planned to test some things.

Although Victor was joking about what Yarpan said, he actually took it seriously in his heart, because he also began to be wary of Philippa.

After confirming that Xier was the messenger, at least directly related to Demawi's death, he figured out a lot of things.

The death of the King of Aedirn gave Saskia room to rise, and Xier and Philippa were likely to conspire to manipulate the "balance" that the sorceress loved most on both sides.

After asking Philippa to temporarily leave Saskia's mansion, Victor went straight to the point.

"Did you know that Xier Tanshavier was helping Henselt?"

"Witcher, I know about this, but there is nothing to worry about. Xier is there to ensure that Henselt will not become the prey of the murderer who killed Foltest. We don't want him to be the ruler of Pontar Valley, but we don't want to see Kaedwen fall into civil war."

The sorceress answered frankly, showing that she was bright and clear and had nothing to hide. Blocking the witcher's questioning.

"For mortals, anything that cannot be immediately understood is suspicious and is the product of conspiracy. Wherever there is a conspiracy, it must be planned by a wizard.

I thought that people like you should not be misled by worldly prejudices. After all, you are also a victim of prejudice. Don't forget that we are all on this ship at the moment, and no one wants the ship to sink."

Looking at Philippa's dark pupils, Victor nodded and said goodbye, and went to visit Prince Stannis.

There is no point in asking further questions, and it is essential to stay vigilant.
