Witcher's Atelier

It was already late at night when we arrived in the city yesterday. There was no cat's eye potion on hand, so it was difficult to see the marks left by Angouleme. Victor had no choice but to choose to stay in a place that was open late at night and had a large bathtub for bathing.

As expected of Vizima, the services and fees are at the capital level.

The next day, following the occasional abstract paintings that appeared in the corner, Victor knocked on the door of a three-story building in the temple area. The door opened and he was greeted by Angoulême's sincere embrace, which was filled with tears of joy.

Then the young man walked into the house and was led by Angulam to inspect her work progress from the basement.

"When I heard that the city gate was controlling access, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get in."

"Have faith in your leader, he always has a plan."

"Really? It's a pity that plans can't keep up with changes."

"Hey! It's been a while, haven't you seen me? Are you better at sarcasm?"

"After reading books for so long, there is always some growth."

The basement of this three-story building is scheduled to be used as an alchemy room. The first floor is the living room, kitchen and Victor's bedroom. The second floor is reserved for Angouleme and Catherine. The third floor is temporarily vacant.

"Since there has been growth, tell me, why did you choose this place? What are the advantages and disadvantages?" After a cursory inspection, the young man was actually quite satisfied with this place.

"I chose the temple area because I didn't have enough money." Angoulan spread his hands and made a face. "And considering convenience and safety, this place is very close to the public water tank. Most of the surrounding areas are ordinary residents, and there are patrol posts not far away."

Victor clapped his hands, "Very good, very thoughtful. Is there any problem with Kathleen too?"

"No problem. There are too many people raising ferocious animals in Vizima. Kathleen is not a rare breed."

"Let's go now. Take me to the alchemy workshop in Kalkistan. Tell me what information you have about his personality on the way."

…

"You brave knights, you are gathered before me... filled with sorrow.

Embracing loyalty to the king, but not knowing the right path to take.

Yes! We are at a critical moment!

The last time Emhyr the Great's armies invaded the north, they annexed Cintra and sacked Aedirn. Their attacks were ruthless and greedy, and they would never be satisfied.

think about it! Nilfgaard, which used to be suppressed south of the Ileana River, once upon a time came to the other side of the Yaruga River to covet our territory.

Have you ever thought about the reasons why their aggression continues to succeed?

Let me tell you the answer -

─Everything is caused by those dirty and shameful Scoia'tael!

These traitors! In the past, we relied on defrauding our mercy and enjoying our blessings to survive, but now we are constantly shooting despicable cold arrows from behind..."

Listening from a distance, Victor recognized that the speaker was a contagious storyteller. He looked a little closer - dozens of knights stood in formation, listening to the teachings of the person on the stage.

The speaker is tall and strong, wearing full-body heavy armor with the Eternal Fire emblem engraved on the chest. His hairstyle is a short brown M-shaped head that is comparable to Lambert's. His rectangular face is resolute and serious, and his beard is majestic.

This man's demeanor was so extraordinary that he looked like the leader of the regiment. Victor looked at Angouleme with questioning eyes, and she nodded knowingly: "Jaques of Aldeburgh--the leader of the Knights of the Flaming Rose."

After getting the answer, he stared deeply and remembered Jaques's appearance firmly. The boy turned around and left quickly. The girl trotted to follow and continued to lead the way. She whispered: "Captain, you don't seem to like that regiment very much." long?"

The young man yawned because he didn't get enough sleep last night. "Is it because your ability to observe words and emotions has improved greatly? Or am I being too obvious?"

The girl raised her lips in contentment: "In the past month, from Elland to Vizima, I have been almost alone, and I do feel that I have become more sensitive.

But you, the leader, also showed it clearly, because the expressions on the faces of most people who heard Jaquez's speech were full of energy and hope. Instead of being expressionless like you.

What don't you like about him? Because they are all group leaders? "

"..., I don't like the practice of gathering people's hearts with hatred."

"Really? But I think he is pretty good."

"You can make a judgment after only a few days. What's the reason?"

"Anyway, the headquarters of the Knights is here. We encounter each other almost every day when we go in and out in the morning and evening. The leader will know it soon."

From the Vizima branch of the Phantom Troupe, walk north for about fifteen minutes to reach the headquarters of the Knights of the Flaming Rose. Further west, near the center of the temple area, stands the Hospital of Saint Lebioda, the only solace for the poor and victims.

When passing the hospital, Victor naturally looked inside the door. Because of the epidemic, the tall and wide carved door was closed tightly, and members of the security guard were guarding the door.

Noticing Victor's gaze, "What's wrong, leader?" Angoulan asked.

"There is a sister who works in the hospital. I will introduce you to her next time." Thinking of Shani, the boy's mood improved again due to the influence of Jaques.

"Yeah, let me tell you first, I won't go into the hospital. It's full of plague patients. It's really miserable to be sick.

When I first came here, I saw with my own eyes a patient's neck that was swollen to a large size, and it exploded with yellow pus..." Thinking of that scene, Angoulan's face showed no concealment of disgust and fear.

Speaking of the plague, Victor took out an amulet from the herbal bag and gave it to Angouleme: "I almost forgot, this is for you to hang on your body. It can reduce the chance of getting the plague, probably."

Angoulan was immediately surprised and delighted, "Wow! As expected of the leader, what kind of amulet is this? Is it so powerful?"

"I'll tell you next time, what's going on now?"

In front of them, a group of armored knights dressed in clothes that were obviously different from those of the Knights of the Rose, surrounded by a lady in hunting attire in the middle, rode through the market.

"That's Princess Yada and the nobles who want to get under her skirt. Commander, tell me, do those knights look like flies buzzing around cow dung?"

Speaking of flies, Angouleme spat in disgust: "But everyone knows that they can't marry the princess. With King Foltest's love for her, he will definitely marry her to a real big shot."

"What chance do they have? I mean under the skirt."

"Who knows? In short, the reputation of this princess is not very good. Even the fish seller in the market said it in a decent way, as if she was also involved at the scene.

There was also a butcher in the trading area who named his dog ‘Yada’ because she was a ‘spoiled bitch’. Of course, he only dared to call her that in private.

There are many interesting little stories, do you want to listen? "

Victor shook his head: "No, thank you."

He remembered this Yada, because helping her lift the curse can be called the highlight of Geralt's career, and she was even featured in the opening animation, but he really didn't know that this princess would later turn into such a free-spirited person. .
