Witcher's Atelier

At this point, there is actually nothing more to say. Since Yennefer has made it clear that she is confident, there is no point in staying here. Victor said goodbye and left with a heartfelt greeting.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Horace. Funez, the handsome "Bucket II", was hesitantly wandering outside the door.

As soon as he saw the witcher, the vice-captain immediately smiled, grabbed his arm and hurried away, as if there was a troll chasing behind him.

The two of them walked side by side outside the palace.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Vivien came to me and told me, it would be better if you threw the bomb out and walked away. Do you know how embarrassed I was at that time, I almost wanted to jump off the observation deck."

"I'm sorry, because of the atmosphere at that time, words came out unknowingly in a hurry, and there are some things that must be made clear first. It would be irresponsible not to reveal them now."

"If I weren't very familiar with you, I would almost suspect that you deliberately angered His Highness. You are really lucky. The Baroness didn't ask me to bring a group of people to arrest you. She only issued a message to relieve you of your entrusted mission and tell you to get away as far as you can. !”

"Uh...is this burning the bridge? Even if I didn't catch the evil beast, at least I saw the right direction first..."

Horace shrugged his shoulders and did not take the meaning of this sentence, but changed the subject, "Your Highness, the Baroness, told us to shut up, you know the meaning.

Then you previously ordered me and Guillaume to investigate which castles have recently added armed personnel. We have eliminated most of the castles, leaving only a few sporadic castles on the other side of the Sansredo River that have not yet been confirmed. "

"Well done! Now you should know the reason. Those are the spare troops needed for the coup. Ms. Sianna should be there."

Hearing the emotion in his words, Horace coughed twice, "Don't mind, Ms. Enlightenment may be angry now, but when her emotions calm down, she will know that you are doing it for her own good.

Anyway, at least me, Damien and Sebastian, we are all grateful to you. Of course, I would never admit that I said this in front of an enlightened lady.

When we determine the target castle and launch an attack, do we need to notify you? "

"No, that's the part that belongs to humans. Let the heroic knights deal with it. The responsibility of the witcher is the evil beasts. And gratitude cannot be used to pay bills. You all know my bank account, so just give it a discount!"

Unknowingly, the two of them walked to the side door of the palace. Horace stopped and said, "I will discuss your reward with the captain, so we say goodbye for now. Before you leave, you should stop thinking about whether there are any unexploded bombs that have not been mentioned." , tell me now, so as not to cause any more psychological shadow on me..."

Taking the cleaned weapons and armor from the guards, Victor began to put them on, "There are two things that I haven't had time to talk about just now. First, Count Laquas's mill was the first place where he was killed. You can send I'll ask someone to confirm, although I don't think there will be any clues.

Secondly, the bargaining chip that Ms. Sienna used to coerce the high-level vampires──Miss Lena Wade. In fact, it was the pseudonym she used when operating in Naser Province, which means──"

"──Wow! This is great. Our work has become much simpler. We only need to break through a certain castle to capture the mastermind or bring back the eldest princess, and then Yennefer will help us get rid of the evil beast!"

Raising his eyebrows, Victor had no intention of dampening the other person's optimism: "I hope so."

Udvik's armor, which had just been briefly cleaned, exuded the fragrance of soap and a familiar and elegant smell, which could be identified as Vivienne's usual perfume.

The witcher leaves the palace.

…

After a while, opposite the dye workshop in the port area, in the "Rocking Horse Toy Store".

Victor and Regis, in a childish and fun environment, search for clues that Dettlaff may have left.

The cute shoe-shine boy will become a great person in the future. He senses the herbalist's concern and wins a small packet of entrepreneurial funds through bargaining and a shiny shoe-shine formula, which reveals the possible hiding place of this "evil beast".

In the past, if Mr. Dettlaff left his boots to be polished, the child would bring them to the shop afterwards. In addition, he also confessed frankly that he sometimes helped run errands to deliver some notes here, but he did not know what the contents were.

And Victor soon found a "Suspicious Letter" next to the tool table for repairing toys.

…

Dettlaff Eredin!

You don’t know us, but we know you better than you think. We know your past, your origin, your secrets... We know you are a vampire, and we also know that your weakness is a woman named Lena Wade.

We have news for you: Lena Weed is alive and well, at least for now. How long she can survive depends on your performance.

Currently, Lena Wade has everything she needs. She even has Coville pears, which you should know are her favorites. But that could all change soon. If you don't do as we ask, Lena Weed may not only be deprived of pears, but also bread and water.

We would lock her in a rat-infested cellar and begin torturing her: first pulling out her fingernails, then breaking her bones, and finally peeling off her skin piece by piece.

However, you can rescue her. All you have to do is go to Beauclair and kill five men as we ask. Five unimportant people can be exchanged for the woman you love.

You will soon receive a letter telling you who the first person to die is and how to kill him. You have three days to kill this person. If you fail, you will not receive the next letter, but a finger of your lover.

Don't try to find us, you won't find us.

Your friend

...

After taking the letter from Victor and reading it, Regis knelt and bowed deeply, "Although I never believe in prophets, I want to pay tribute to the prophets today. I am glad that my friend was proved to be coerced, not to commit cruel murder out of his own will."

The witcher smiled and accepted the compliment in return, and handed another "Letter Listing the Targets of Evil Beasts" to the herbalist, "Unfortunately, these documents are of little use. They are just facts that we have known for a long time, and they can't help us find Dettlaff."

...

[Page 1] Honor

Count Cresp claimed to be a knight, but he insulted the spirit of knighthood. So he should not die with a sword in his hand, but should be locked in a locked pillory to atone for his shamelessness. He is a criminal and should die like a criminal.

[Page 2] Wisdom

You have dealt well with Cresp, and he deserves what he has done. Now it is Ramon Dulac's turn. This idiot thinks he is so wise, and he always likes to pass judgments that ruin other people's futures and lives. He is a fool and he should die like a fool: alone, in a dark alley, with his neck broken.

[Page 3] Generosity

The Count of Lacroix, because he loved money too much, committed the most abominable crime and broke the hearts of those who trusted him. Therefore, you will tear his body into pieces and leave the wallet that came with the letter on his body.

[Page 4] Valor

Your second to last victim is Milton de Peraperin. He should have shown his courage in defending the innocent, but he turned out to be the most cowardly of all the knights of Beauclair.

So he will die like a coward, and you will kill him in the tournament, at the beginning of the hare hunt in the palace grounds. Milton will play the role of the hare, he will run away like a coward, and then you will find him and kill him, just as the hunter kills the coward.

[Page 5] Compassion

The last person you need to deal with is our baroness. Anna Henrietta is a heart of stone, and there is no warmth in her heart. I want you to dig the ice out of her chest.

…

Hand the document back to Victor and ask him to put it in the herbal bag. Regis sighed softly, "It is a heavy accusation, but since the baroness chooses to forgive and cover up, I believe the incident will end soon."

After that, he gently turned the repaired music box on the stand and played a warm song. The high-level vampire Dettlaff Eredin, his leisure time entertainment is to repair toys here and give them to children who want toys.
