Witcher's Atelier

In Archmage Dihenna's laboratory.

"Madam, although you asked me to shut up, and I think I should keep quiet, after careful consideration, I still want to say--bang! Crash!"

There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and Cynthia looked up suddenly, just in time to see Adlbert collapse and fall, sweeping away a large area of ​​items on the table.

At the sudden change, the sorceress immediately cast a protective shield and kept an eye on the person who knocked out the mage - Kaedwen's brown clothing was stained with blood.

Then he noticed that the blond hair was parted, the pupils were completely different from cat eyes, and the four knife marks on his face...

A lot of information about the other party flashed through his mind, and Cynthia's staff pointed straight at it, with a dangerous blue light emitting from the top, "Mr. Victor Corleone, can I ask what you are doing here?"

Victor blinked, "I'm just a passing witcher. I accidentally discovered a ruin here and came to check it out. After hearing your voice, I wanted to have a little chat with you.

But because there were too many corpses lying in the front room, for safety reasons, I had to ask Mr. Albert to sleep for a while first.

Don't worry, he'll be fine. He didn't even realize he was under attack when he was unconscious, and he would have slight amnesia when he woke up. It's easy to get over it with your ability. "

The sorceress was dumbfounded by what he said, recalling the Victor introduced in the report. Corleone - Ciri's brother - an unproven prophet.

Judging by known actions, he values ​​feelings and commitment, has excellent professional qualities as a witcher, is a rationalist and humanitarian (to be verified), and has the possibility to win over and exploit him.

After considering the pros and cons, her face under the hood slowly returned to calmness, and her staff shifted from the halberd finger to the ground, "I didn't expect you to think about it for me, witcher.

In fact, I don’t care if you kill him, I don’t like this person. But since you are such a gentleman, I have no reason to refuse the conversation. Just ask if you want to know! "

Although she took the initiative to express her kindness and did not directly deal with Adelbert, Victor still felt a slight sense of unreality when Cynthia accepted the reality so quickly and was willing to communicate with him.

So he decided to start with a simple question, "Do I know where this is? Are those Redanians worth dying for?"

The sorceress grinned, "Are you kidding me? They don't even know what they are searching for!

This is the laboratory of Dihenna, a highly skilled archmage. If the records are correct, his legacy was enough for the king to go to war.

Hey! Don't look at me like that, it was the Redanians who attacked first. "

"The living person has the final say."

The sorceress's staff struck the ground, "Forget it! My time is precious, and so is yours. Let's skip this nonsense?"

Compared to Cynthia himself, Victor really didn't care much about the laboratory, let alone the Redanians who died in the battle.

Then he coughed twice and probed with deep meaning: "Philippa Earhart?"

"It won't be easy to lead her to the garden path," she answered simply.

"Amazing courage to attack that woman. What about Dragon Slayer Saskia?"

The sorceress shook her head, "Philippa sent him to work with that old woman Xi'er the night before. I don't know where they are? That serious, stinky cousin believes in mysticism, and his whereabouts have not been revealed at all."

The witcher was not disappointed when he did not get any clues. He had already expected that he would not get any useful information. After all, if anything, the Nilfgaardians would be happy to capture Sil.

And the other party's answer made him feel sincerity. After connecting everything he knew in his mind, Victor suddenly asked: "What about Triss Merigold?"

Cynthia's delicate body trembled, with a complex expression on her face, and then she opened her red lips lightly, "I really noticed that you are smarter than I knew.

On the day when the injured Triss came to Vergen for help, Philippa happened to be out for a meeting. I knocked her out and used the sealing technique to turn her into a statue. "

Corroborating the information eavesdropped on the banks of the Pontal River, Victor calmly added, "When I went to find Philippa, you in the room were startled and knocked things to the ground. You were worried that I would find the tracking agent. Liz’s belongings, do you have to send someone to send the statue away?”

"As expected of you, you actually know this part. It's really not to be underestimated." Cynthia clapped softly.

"Sounds like you have a deep understanding of me?"

"In the Nilfgaard intelligence agency, you are a key target of attention."

"Can I know why? After all, I am just an ordinary witcher."

"Silia Fiona Ellen Rayalen."

Victor suddenly realized that this name was enough to explain everything. Nilfgaardian Emperor Emhyr. watt. Emris, it is natural to pay attention to the people related to her daughter.

And hearing her name being spoken made him deeply aware that the era he was most familiar with was coming. Just as the Burning Omen predicted, Ciri was coming back.

With her return, Wild Hunt, an important villain in the world of demon hunting, appears simultaneously. And whether he, a time traveler, can return to the world of alchemy, or travel to other worlds, depends on whether he can completely defeat the Wild Hunt and let the girl regain her freedom.

... She woke up and was slightly distracted, but Cynthia did not try to sneak up on her. Victor continued to ask, "So how does Nilfgaard's report describe me? What is its attitude towards me? If it is not confidential, I will be very careful. Want to know."

She smiled and put an index finger in front of her lips, "No, this is forbidden!"

"Understood!" The other party didn't want to say that there was no need to force it, "Then let's talk about Dihenna Laboratory! Is there anything I can get a share of?"

"You will get something if you put in the effort. You can't ask for benefits without making any contribution. This is banditry!"

"No! This is a kingly act."

Cynthia laughed loudly, let go of the staff and picked up the document. She raised her chin to indicate to Victor, "There is a hidden mechanism in the room, but there are too many items that interfere with magic nearby, so my search efficiency is inefficient. Help me find it." It, I will share the harvest with you.”

Victor said it was easy for her to ask. From the moment he entered the room, in order to guard against spellcasters, the witcher continued to sense the flow of magic in the entire room, so he already knew the correct answer.

Since girls are not afraid of others, boys certainly have nothing to fear. The young man walked next to her, so close that he could smell the lady's body fragrance. He took out the Eye of Neherene and waved it on the bookshelf.

The illusion was wiped away, revealing the wonderful facility hidden inside - it was composed of three brass pillars. At first glance, it looked a bit like a telescope, but the material and shape were subtly different.

Turning her gaze from the instrument to Victor, Cynthia dropped the document in her hand in surprise, "Eye of Nehereni, I didn't expect you to have this illusion-breaking artifact in your hand. No wonder you were able to find the entrance to the laboratory."

The sorceress walked to the facility, "Finally...the prototype telescope. Give me a few minutes, I want to confirm its current status."

After saying that, she turned her back to the witcher, and Cynthia began to concentrate on her work.

The protective shield she had cast earlier had dissipated, and now was the time to stab her in the back. However, Victor just stood behind, admiring the wonderful curves of his hips and waist with his samsara eyes, and did nothing else.

Sometimes, just look at it!

…

After a short period of time.

After finishing the adjustment, the sorceress turned back and crossed her arms, "It is a prototype telescope, an artifact used to detect emotional connections with people. The user only needs to focus on the person to be detected, and the device will It creates a connection that allows you to peek into what the other person sees.”

"A perfect tool for a spy."

"It is true, but it is in very bad condition now. I estimate that it will be damaged after three more uses. According to your contribution, can I give it to you once?"

Without questioning Cynthia's explanation, Victor, with his keenness in the flow of magic power, was able to determine that the energy storage device of this device was faulty and would soon become unusable.

But even so, this prototype telescope is still a piece of black technology that leaves people speechless. Ignoring the shortcomings of high energy consumption and vulnerability to interference, it can unconditionally spy on targets for fifteen seconds at any time. It can be called a medieval super satellite.

As for such a powerful artifact, "it's not bad to use it once, it's reasonable and fair. So what's the method of use?" asked the witcher.

The sorceress snapped her fingers, "Look through here, choose the person you want to contact, and concentrate on thinking about the other person's appearance. You will be able to see his vision through the prototype telescope."

The method of use is very simple. Victor got close to the instrument and prepared to try it out. However, there was a long way to go...

"Stop...stop! Witcher, according to Nilfgaardian law, this item belongs to the empire!"

It turned out to be the male mage Albert who was knocked unconscious. He stumbled up at some point and raised his staff to point at Victor.

The situation changed, and the witcher was observing the male mage while being wary of the female sorcerer. Although the two had a pleasant exchange just now, the situation has now returned to a two-on-one situation.

He was not afraid of going to war, but it was not necessary, "Calm down! Mr. Adelbert, a hostile attitude will only hurt yourself.

Please note that just now I could, but I didn't kill you. The fact that you are able to stand up now is also because I did not intend to cause permanent damage and the attack was relatively gentle. Couldn't you be more reasonable? "

"Victor Corleone, I know you, you thought you were making a bullshit prophecy that didn't even rhyme! Then you pretended to be close to Princess Siliya and you thought you were a figure? Let me tell you, in my eyes you are nothing!"

Victor frowned, but before he could respond, Cynthia scolded loudly, "Shut up, Adlbert. This is the commander's decision, obey the order, otherwise I will write it into the report for your overstep." "

"Leaking state secrets to northerners, will you mention this in your report?" the male mage retorted.

"Adlbert, you will also become a commander one day in the future, but until then, be a good boy and do your job well."

"Article 22 of the regulations is very clear, 'Those suspected of rebellion are sufficient to remove the authority of the commander.' And Article 1 of my personal regulations is also very clear, 'Traitors must be sentenced to the most painful death penalty.'"

After the reckless young man finished speaking, he waved his staff to cast a spell!

However, a white light struck directly, restraining him directly, and it was Cynthia who struck!

"Kill him!" was what she said.

Facing Victor's puzzled gaze, she raised the corner of her mouth and teased, "Don't you understand? Do you need me to translate it into ancient language? Marw se!"

In an instant, Victor shrugged his shoulders, "As you wish, ma'am."

After speaking, he took a few steps forward, ignoring Mr. Adelbert's angry and unwilling showmanship. The attack of flames pierced Lao Tie's heart!

Pulling it out to shake off the blood, and returning the sword to its sheath, the witcher shook his head, "I didn't expect you to help me!"

"Although you are not very handsome, I like you very much, and he wants to step on me to get to the top." The sorceress licked her lips with her tongue.

"A Nilfgaardian wizard, lying on his report and dying, will it cause you any trouble?"

She spread her hands, "Of course it will be fine, he was killed by the Redanians, wasn't he? Unless you are going to betray me?"

The witcher shook his head in denial.

"So, have you thought about how to use this opportunity?"

"Yes, ma'am, I would be very grateful if you didn't watch while I was spying."

"I'll wait for you outside." Without hesitation, Cynthia left the room briskly.

His eyes swept over the corpse on the ground. Although the estimated profit was huge, considering the safety of the environment, Victor gave up the idea of ​​communicating with Adbert.

He walked to the front of the instrument and used it according to the instructions of the sorceress. He thought of Saskia's appearance in his mind and activated the prototype telescope.

...

Boom!

The view switched to a strange first-person perspective.

The dark sky was full of dark clouds, and below was the city of Lomne, with the firelight of the four countries' military camps dotted all over the place.

Huh! ? Saskia is flying?

At first, he was confused, but then Victor quickly realized that this was an aerial perspective. He could detect it so quickly because he had seen the same perspective in Vergen through the Dragon Dream.

Gliding slowly down from the air, just as it was about to land, the screen suddenly went black, announcing that the viewing time was up.

…

Buzz!

Victor was ejected from Saskia's perspective.

The famous detective Sherlock Holmes once said: "When you eliminate all impossible factors, what remains, no matter how impossible, must be true."

Through the Dragon Dream, the Strike of Flames, and the Prototype Telescope. They proved that "Dragon Slayer Saskia" was the dragon flying in the sky. She should actually be called "Dragon Girl Saskia".

During the night talk in Vergen, she once said that she was Aryan's friend - so the dragon attacked La Valette's castle to help, and therefore fought with herself.

Because of that encounter, she instantly recognized the Dragonborn in the spirit mist. No wonder she could easily withstand such a powerful poison as "Mage's Pain (Nether Element)" for several days. It's all because she is a dragon.

For an "ideal reasoner", if he gets one aspect of the fact, he can not only infer the other aspects that lead to this fact, but also infer all the consequences arising from it.

Unfortunately, Victor is not an ideal reasoner, so he needs time to deduce this new fact.

A few minutes later, the door was opened, and the sorceress walked to the witcher, "How is it, did you get the information you want to know?"

"Yes, I must thank you, it's very helpful."

Cynthia frowned, "Then why are you still here! Do you imagine that I will give you a kiss?"

Victor laughed, "Will we meet again?"

"Who knows? I stayed at the Goat Inn during the summit." After that, the sorceress waved her hand to drive people away.

Blowing the whistle, the witcher waved goodbye.

Thanks to the book friend Prof_S_Snape for the reward and encouragement. Thank you for the recommendation ticket.
