Just signing in is 10 starting coins, and watching a 15-second advertisement is also 10 starting coins. If you want to read books at Qidian, you can actually make money without spending money. There is really no need to read them. It’s a pirated version. It would be great to not only support Taitai to continue writing, but also to comment on this chapter and give his opinions.)

The Principality of Toussaint. Roberta Forest. Merlachaise Longue Cemetery. "Regis's Alchemy Workshop".

Judging from human aesthetics, the use of candles for lighting in the tomb is definitely a failure. In addition, the constant whimpering of the wind through the gaps makes the residence of a high-level vampire look gloomy.

Fortunately, it's early autumn, so it's still cool and comfortable for the time being.

In other aspects, the quality of life is pretty good. The tables and chairs are made of solid materials, the bookshelves have a rich collection of books, the alchemy platform has complete tools, and there are several spacious and comfortable coffins!

As for Temeria's golden eagle Angoulan, she was currently sleeping soundly in the clean guest bedroom. With her physique, she was still too young to enjoy the "mandala wine".

Alchemically processed "Datura" can relieve asthma symptoms and can be used as an anesthesia for surgery and an analgesic for bone setting. It is also a powerful hallucinogen and delirium.

With the physiques of witchers and high-level vampires, they could of course ignore the side effects, so they continued to drink and talk. There was only one hip flask, so they shared it.

…

Although Victor knew many of Regis's character and deeds through his past life memories, interpersonal communication still had to be gradual, and it was even more important to ensure that there were no serious contradictions between memory and reality.

From the conversation, the witcher learned that this high-level vampire with a hooked nose who refused to drink human blood had indeed been resurrected by Dettlaff and had been hiding in the north to recuperate.

Not long ago, through the blood link, I felt the rage of the blood contract brother and knew that he was in trouble, so I hurried to Toussaint to find him.

Changing the perspective, although the high-level vampire is recuperating in seclusion, Dovacin is by no means an unknown person. Many deeds and poems have been heard for a long time. And the message published before Angouleme fell asleep was enough to establish a higher trust assessment for him.

This young man with four knife marks on his cheek and bridge of his nose, and blue sea magatama eyes, is a "Dragonborn" from the east of Serikania, and is Ciri's (close?) brother.

Although he looks young, he is by no means an ordinary demon hunter, but an important rising star and alchemist of the Wolf School.

He not only hunts dragons, but also is brothers with the king, and often sleeps with the sorceress...

And based on the few words Angouleme said before he came and was subtly interrupted by the drinking, Victor occasionally even went to bed with the king! ?

"Could it be the Grand Duke Toussaint?" Regis made a bold guess in his mind, "The people in the city are so chaotic! Remember when Anayeta was in love with Dandelion?

But both men are poets, so maybe they don’t mind exchanging knowledge, maybe the three of them can be together..."

...Ahem, since the whims and whims of a high-level vampire are very complicated, it would take tens of thousands of words to write them all out, so I won’t be able to write them here. The nonsense speculation doesn’t matter anyway!

All in all, the exchange over datura was a great success.

Regis, who wanted to help Dettlaff, and Victor, who wanted to stop the evil beast, checked each other's eyes and knew that the other was the right person.

The datura flask was set aside, and the conversation that followed required sobriety.

…

after a while.

"Well... the three victims so far are Count Crespe, who has won many knight competitions. The 'humiliation' of the pillory replaced his 'glory'.

Ramon, who once served as the tutor of the Baroness. Dulac, the 'funny' in the pajamas mocks his 'intelligence'.

And Louis. Count Lakos, the 'coins' in his throat are the opposite of 'generous'.

‘Five virtues crime! ’ It’s an interesting idea…even if it’s not entirely true, it’s certainly interesting.

So according to your explanation, the next murder will also be quite dramatic, continue to frighten the people of the city, and will accuse the victim of lacking the fourth of the Five Virtues: heroism.

Can we assume that the victim will also be an old knight? "

"Yes, the killing ritual performed by the evil beast is disguised as a condemnation of the lack of martial ethics. In reality, it is revenge for past 'abuses'!"

The senior vampire shook his head and sighed. After pondering for a moment, he touched his temples.

"I will do my best to help you, but some things cannot be controlled subjectively. The key to finding Dettlaff lies in his personal wishes.

In my cognitive realm, if he doesn't want to be found, you'll never find him. It's that simple.

Vampires can evade sensory detection, and divination magic has no effect on us, even the most accurate telescope is useless...

Sorry I ignored the presence of the prophet in the description, but to be honest, I was very surprised that 'you can see me hiding here', maybe you are willing to use your ability to see where Dettlaff is? "

Victor touched his nose. The vampire's request was reasonable, but it was a pity that his prophet status was that of Xibei.

The hiding place in the tomb in front of him was what Regis told Geralt in his past life memory. If it were Dettlaff, White Wolf didn't have that friendship. Maybe Leo would know, but he forgot to ask that guy before.

Fortunately, the young man did not come without any preparation, "Please think again, Regis, there is always a way. Maybe this thing can help?"

The witcher took out an oilcloth package and placed it on the table. The layers of sealing structure ensured that there would not be any smell leakage. After carefully opening it, a hand cut off at the wrist was revealed.

When he saw the sharp claws of the stump and the ring with strange patterns, and smelled the blood on the cut surface, the indifferent expression of the high-level vampire collapsed instantly, and his eyes were sharp and serious.

"Where did you get this?"

"I fished it out in the river bay this morning. The latest victim of the evil beast, Count Lakos, had his body cut into eight pieces, but he had three hands.

The one with the ring was obviously different from the other two.

What's more amazing is that it is still alive." Victor had a basis for saying this, because the claws could not be put into the herbal bag.

After realizing that the blood of the high-level vampire might attract attacks from other vampires, the witcher immediately confiscated and sealed the evidence.

Picking up the severed hand, Regis closed his eyes, put it in front of him and took a deep breath. Instantly, his expression showed a hint of intoxication, and his mouth slightly opened to reveal his fangs. Then he opened his eyes, took off the ring, and put the severed hand back on the table.

"It is undoubtedly Dettlaff's hand. It is good to have this thing. We can track him now. Young witcher, have you heard of Coveneri's theory of organizational memory?"

"There is a book called "Forgotten Alchemy" in Kaer Morhen that is so tattered that it is almost weathered, but I remember that in that book, the author was unable to prove his theory until the end." Victor, sitting on the recliner, whistled and relaxed his body and leaned back tactically.

Regis chuckled, "In fact, he proved it, but he didn't publish the results. We used to be good pen pals, so I know he completed the research, and the initial test he conducted was with me as the experimental target."

"Can you really use part of the body's tissue to reconstruct the experience of the whole body?"

"Absolutely correct, your erudition surprises me, and it's very worry-free to talk to you. We will boil a decoction, and Coveneri gave it a very poetic name: 'Resonance Water'.

Drinking it will enter a psychedelic state similar to dreams, allowing you to experience events that stimulate strong emotions in the owner of the organization. In other words, it can be understood as dreaming about fragments of other people's lives."

"You can peek into the actions of the evil beast before it lost its right hand..."

"That's right, but I hope that the resonance water can tell us where Dettlaff is. I have a lot to say to him."

At this time, noticing Regis's actions, Victor smiled and raised his hand.
