Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 363: Tenderness, Kindness, and Cold Frost

Silently, he jumped off his horse and gestured to the knights to wait. Then, as if possessed, Victor strolled into the orphanage.

Sensing something from his attitude, Angouleme also jumped off the "Amber" and followed the leader's footsteps to this space filled with happiness.

Walking through the green outdoor playground, passing by children running and laughing, the witcher stopped next to the main building.

From this position, through the bright windows, you can see the clean indoor activity area. The bedroom is equipped with soft mattresses and thin quilts for summer.

Follow slowly to the leader's side. After passing the seesaw, swings, slides, merry-go-rounds and animal-shaped stone sculptures, the girl lamented that this was the childhood she had never had.

Judging from the perspective of the group members, these children were all genuinely happy, and no signs of danger were found as their eagle eyes passed by. I just don’t know why, but my intuition feels vaguely uneasy.

"Wick──" When Angouleme was about to speak, Victor raised his hand to stop her, pointing under his ear to indicate that he was using his five extraordinary senses to listen.

In his hearing, in the room on the third floor of the building in front of him, a man and a woman were having a conversation. The man's voice was young and trembling, and the woman's voice was warm and loving.

A choked male voice said: "...Mom Oriana, don't you want me now?"

A soft female voice: "Silly child, when you grow up, you should have your own life and space. Leaving the orphanage is the beginning of your new life. You should be happy."

"But I can't let go of my mother——"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The brothers and sisters who left in the past will take care of you and help you. Learn from them and become a useful person to the world, so that my care for you will not be in vain. "

"Wu... Wu... Mom, I know, I will definitely work hard!"

The boy's sobbing continued for a while, and the crying gradually died away until he opened the door and left.

A few minutes later, Victor saw a boy walking out of the orphanage building. He was about fifteen years old. His face was still stained with tears, and his eyes were red and swollen.

He was reluctant to leave, looking back at the room on the third floor step by step, as if expecting the window to suddenly open and Oriana's mother to call him back. Unfortunately, his expectations did not come true until he exited the courtyard.

Watching the whole process, the witcher stroked his stubble on his chin.

At this time, there was another sound of the door opening in the room on the third floor. It was someone else entering the room. This time a hoarse and timid male voice sounded.

"Dear Ms. Ou...Olianna, I wonder what you want from me?" The person who spoke was obviously an adult man, and he was very afraid of the mother the child spoke of.

The soft female voice she used to talk to her child disappeared and turned into a majestic tone, "Arnold, listen up, I don't care if turnips are the cheapest, my children are not allowed to eat those cheap vegetables."

"Yes, yes, ma'am."

"I've told you countless times: cost is not an issue, don't keep thinking about cutting corners, otherwise I will start to suspect that you are enriching your own pockets.

My children must eat well and be full, and there must be dessert after meals. Those sweets I bring you are not for nothing. "

"Ming...understand."

The majestic voice became more and more fierce: "One last thing - if you let me see the scars of being beaten on the child again, you will be in trouble!

Do you understand? What a disaster! "

"I'm... I'm very sorry, ma'am," the man's fear and panic could be heard in the voice, "I... I promise I will do it."

"Very good! They are all good children. I paid so much money just for you to take good care of them." Her voice was cold and frosty. "Remember to touch them with love. When the children understand that you love them, do it from the bottom of your heart." If you like it, they will give you double the love in return.

Don't forget my warning, this is the third and last warning, take advantage of your opportunity! "

Victor listened to the male nanny's obsequious and constant vows that he would abide by them.

At this moment, he noticed someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. He lowered his head and saw that it was a little boy of about eight years old.

He was innocent and lively, "Uncle and aunt, who are you? You are dressed so beautifully. Are you here to see Oriana's mother?"

Seeing the cute, fat and white child in front of him, Victor looked a little confused. After a slight hesitation... he asked softly: "Kid, uncle wants to ask you a question, do you like to eat turnips?"

The boy was stunned for a moment by the question, but he quickly thought of the answer. He put his finger to his lips, "Well, I don't like it, because my mother doesn't like telling stories to children who eat turnips!"

Hearing his answer, "Really? That's it...that's it." He reached out to ruffle the little boy's hair and glanced at the happy children in the garden. The witcher clenched his fists, paused slightly, and turned around to leave.

Although Angouleme didn't know why, he trotted closely behind Victor.

Just as they were about to walk out of the courtyard, the window on the third floor of the building suddenly opened, revealing a mature beauty with red hair and blue eyes.

Wearing a luxurious black silk dress, she stared at the back of the Phantom Troupe and crossed her arms in deep thought.

They met the knight waiting outside the door, and the four of them continued to Beauclair, but everyone could notice the witcher's silence.

Others thought that Victor was in a bad mood because he saw the orphan and was sentimental about his life experience.

So Horace rode his horse and walked next to the young man, "Wick, actually you don't need to worry about this, there are inevitably orphans everywhere.

And they are definitely lucky. I have seen many other orphanages, and Ms. Oriana's children are the happiest! "

Gillaume also controlled the speed of the horse and ran parallel to Victor, "And the boys and girls who are over fifteen will return to Beauclair to work. It is said that there are also small associations to help each other, and the members' lives are pretty good."

He shook his head and smiled bitterly. The comfort of the two of them was useless. They didn't hit the key point of the witcher's entanglement. But at least it had the effect of diverting attention. Victor suddenly remembered that he was about to arrive in Beauclair City.

When meeting the "Enlightened Lady", how should he discuss the evil beast incident with her: should he use the prophet to make a certain degree of spoilers in exchange for greater support? Or should he investigate first and find Regis in the catacombs?

In a flash of thought, Victor decided not to spoil the spoilers first and find Regis first. At least he could try to spar with him to see if he could suppress the high-level vampires when the potion was fully filled.

After all, the combat effectiveness of this kind of fantasy creature is still an unsolved mystery. According to the records in the books, they are so strong that they are like cheats, and the witcher has no chance to fight.

However, in the memory of the previous life, Geralt was able to fight back and forth with Dettlaff in the end. The floating strength gap is too big, and it must be confirmed before the filming.

Victor does not want to rush forward with confidence in the future, but die in despair.

As for the reason why he was entangled not long ago, it was actually very simple. The memory of the previous life sent a notification that "Oliana" was a high-level vampire.
