Witcher's Atelier

Victor knew nothing about what happened in the capital Beauclair, and he had no idea that a sorceress was beginning to investigate his intelligence.

Leaving the Merle-Lachaise-Longue Cemetery, in the evening of the second day, south of the village of Francarraz, there was a ruin called De Chamouna.

"Wow!" Standing in front of the abandoned castle, Angouleme sincerely exclaimed its majesty and magnificence.

Built against the mountain, the towering stone buildings reflect a delicate sense of design. Even with today's technological level, it is difficult for humans to reproduce such art.

"Di Samu Na..." Regis, who led the way, said in a low and hoarse voice, "We have arrived. The sacrifice room of torture and suffering is underground. Wick, have you heard of the history of this castle?"

Following the high-level vampire, the witcher stepped onto the stone steps step by step, "I have heard that according to the records of the palace library, there was a vampire named Kagma in Toussaint. He was very bloodthirsty and even sucked the whole village overnight... and the lair of his reign of terror was the Di Samu Na Castle."

"Scholar Victor, your narration is very close to the truth, but it is completely nonsense in the most critical place..." Stopping in front of the stone wall with a wonderful pattern, Regis reached out and stroked the wall, "In fact, this is a torture room for torture..."

The cold crescent moon gently fell, bathing the entire courtyard in white light.

"During that celestial conjunction a long time ago, not long after we arrived in this world, Kagma, who was addicted to human blood, started a killing spree, causing all vampire races to fall into trouble.

Mortals who didn't want to live in fear forever began to hunt vampires, asking for help from mages and witchers, desperately trying to find our location, and trying all kinds of attack methods."

"Wooden stakes, garlic, holy water, and the origin of symbols? But they can't kill you... Even silver products are only more effective."

On this point, Victor, who had a head-on fight with Regis yesterday, has a lot to say. It's hard to deal with a high-level vampire in a weak state, let alone in its prime. Besides, if the other party wants to leave, it's impossible to keep him.

"...But they won, because it was too annoying. Sorry for using this metaphor, but it's the most appropriate, just like a mosquito constantly flying around your ear, it's so annoying!

In any case, the other vampires thought that they couldn't just ignore it, and they had to stop the meaningless disputes and punish Kagma.

But killing each other violates the iron law of the tribe, so we built a torture chamber in the dungeon of Desamuna. A special alloy cage made of silver, meteoric iron and Demojin was used to imprison him and his desires."

Shaking his head and sighing, Regis' right hand suddenly turned into blood mist, rendering the murals on the stone wall.

Then there was a rumbling sound, and the stone wall opened downwards, revealing a dark dungeon, "Welcome to Desamuna!" he said.

Angouleme was surprised, "What...what's going on!?"

"To prevent uninvited guests, only the blood of high-level vampires can unlock it."

After that, Regis walked down the dark corridor first. Victor took out a torch and threw it to the girl, then followed the vampire's steps.

"Safe unlocking mechanism, hidden hiding place, Toussaint was very important to you in the past?"

"Yes, when the celestial bodies met, the door to our hometown leading to this world was on this land. Our first landing in Toussaint was like the first landing of humans in the Pontar Delta."

Going down the stairs, they arrived at a spacious space with prisons on both sides of the corridor.

The Samsara Eye missed nothing and noticed the sink, food box, wooden barrel and bracket of unknown purpose. From the various skeleton remains in the prison, the witcher guessed that this was once a place similar to a "wine cellar".

But he remained silent until he accidentally glanced at the books on the bookshelf.

"Human Care and Care? Regis, is this book serious?" Victor reached out to take the book, opened it and read.

The herbalist leaned against the wall, "Well... the author is very serious. He spent several years raising humans, observing their appearance and behavior, and even lurking and living with them.

Doing this kind of thing in that era is like trying to understand the ecology of cattle, so you eat and live in the cowshed. Although it has moral flaws, it is a very complete research."

"It's a pity that you can only describe it as flawed..." He said sarcastically, noticing that there are two books next to it, "Comparison of Caged and Free-range Humans" and "Records of Dialogues with Lower Creatures", and the witcher took them together.

"The first one is better, but I personally don't recommend you to read the second one. I'm afraid it will give you an extremely bad impression of our race.

Most of the existing high-level vampires have abandoned that concept. After all, hundreds of years of living together have proved that the past practices were too lacking in empathy and too... evil..."

The witcher closed the books and put them into the herbal bag, "Please rest assured, Mr. Regis, I will look at it dialectically. The decision of evil or not is never based on whether the teeth are sharp and shiny.

The most evil monster I have ever seen appeared in the old mansion of Vizima. It wore countless rings and could cast a variety of powerful spells.

And the mutants encountered in the north of Vergen City, they held swords, axes and hammers, were very big, dirty, bald, and had yellow and black teeth with defects..."

Shaking his head and laughing, Regis stopped trying to dissuade them.

Then they continued to move forward and soon arrived at a vast circular square. The columnar space extended to the height of several floors.

In the center of the square, there is a special-shaped cage that looks like a birdcage that has been enlarged several times.

"Wait a minute, uncle... Is this the prison where Kargma is imprisoned? What are you doing by bringing us here? Didn't you say we were here to get the materials for the Resonance Water?" the girl asked curiously.

Seeing this familiar scene, Victor immediately recalled the plot and knew what Regis was going to say next.

"Let me explain, to use the resonance water to awaken the memory of the tissue, the solution must contain the blood of another sample of the same species. So to track Dettlaff, we need the blood of a higher vampire."

"Then...why do you still come here? Regis, aren't you willing to help?" Angoulan didn't know why.

"Of course I am willing to donate blood, but in reality it is not that simple. The blood must be drawn under excitement to be effective.

I believe in that battle a few days ago, you all saw that vampires can change their body structure. When the physical body changes, the chemical composition of the blood also changes.

To put it simply, I have to go into intense mental agitation mode - well... crazy and violent state - and you don't need to modify it.

But that would be very dangerous, very dangerous to the people around me. I will be filled with emotions and anger, and my chest will be filled with the desire for blood! "

"Like when you fought Wick?"

"You don't want to try, I double and triple when I'm really angry."

Victor said softly: "So when we come to Dishamuna, you are going to enter this cage and transform, because it has been proven to be able to contain high-level vampires."

"Exactly, to a certain extent, the legend of Toussaint is partially true - Dishamuna can be regarded as the lair of Kargma.

When he was imprisoned here and endured the torture of thirst for blood, the furious and shrill wails continued day and night for two whole centuries..."

"I believe he would rather die."

"He chose to be completely crazy."

"Okay, Regis, how are you going to push yourself to the point of excitement?"

The herbalist took out several tubes of potions and a piece of carrion wrapped in oilcloth. "I will put myself in a birdcage later. Did you notice the caves around me? Putting these potions and carrion at the entrance of the cave can draw out underground monsters."

And you slaughter them here, releasing a large amount of plasma. The fresh and sweet fragrance will make the tortured go crazy and lose their mind. "

Scanning the ground with his eyes, the witcher saw the criss-crossing ditches used to spread the smell evenly into the air. The torture chamber lived up to its name.

Although he had seen this scene in the game, when faced with it in reality, Victor couldn't help but ask: "You haven't sucked blood for centuries, why do you put yourself through this kind of torture? It would be too much to make such a sacrifice for mankind. Too noble.”

"Of course not for humans, but for Dettlaff!" Regis responded with a smile.
