Witcher's Atelier

In the spring of 1272 AD, on a warm morning, two travelers were walking side by side near the White Orchard Village in the land of Temeria.

At first glance they all have gray hair. However, if you look closely, you will find that one of them is not actually aging. The gray hair may be a sequelae of the physical mutation caused by the use of medicine...

Yes, that's right! Anyone can tell they are a witcher just by looking at each other face to face. Some well-informed people can even easily identify the identities of the two travelers, namely Vesemir, the master of the Wolf School, and the White Wolf. Geralt of Rivia.

And the appearance of the famous witchers in this remote village is certainly not just an accident.

When the snow first melted half a month ago, Geralt received a letter from an "old friend". It smelled of lilacs and gooseberries, inviting him to meet him at Willowby, a village near Vizima. Indicates that there is something very important to discuss.

In response to this "instruction" from Yennefer, Geralt, who had fully recovered his memory, chose to rush to the agreed place as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, he was a step late. Unfortunately, the entire village was razed to the ground by the warring armies, and the sorceress disappeared without a trace.

Faced with the sudden dilemma, the witcher did not give up. With the help of Vesemir, Geralt continued to track Yennefer.

By examining various clues, they determined that the sorceress was galloping northward, passing through battlefields and wastelands, and was probably passing through the remote Baiguoyuan Village...

So they decided to go to the local area to collect intelligence.

…

The sun shines through the shades of the trees, the spring breeze blows coolly on the face, and "Carrot", who has just eaten his fill of radish, walks briskly.

Carrot is the name of Geralt's horse, and each of his horses is called Carrot. At this time, the "white wolf" on Carrot's back was whispering questions to the master walking beside him.

"Master, how long do you think we will be behind Yennefer?"

Wisdom eyes scanned the soil on the ground, and relying on his rich experience, Vesemir asserted: "Two or three days, right? The marks on the road are still new, but we will soon enter the main road, and then it will not be so clear."

"Then we'd better move faster. Combined with the nightmare in the early morning, I have a very bad feeling." As he said this, he gently pinched the horse's belly to speed up.

Recall the nightmare Geralt told earlier - "Child Ciri was hunted by the Wild Hunt." Vesemir also rode up to follow, "If your dream does mean that Ciri is in trouble, then maybe Victor can help. There was a preview in his "The Burning Omen" the year before last."

The hoofbeats of two fast horses were clattering together, raising a cloud of dust.

"I regret that I didn't ask him more questions, and now I don't know where he went."

"According to Leo's message, Victor went to Toussaint last winter to investigate the incident. If it is resolved successfully, he should be in Novigrad now, where he has a lucrative estate."

"Yeah! I'll go find him after seeing Yennefer. That damn burning omen is incredibly accurate."

"Indeed, when Victor made the prediction, we all thought he was joking. Who could have thought at that time that a country as powerful as Temeria would collapse... and the development of the war situation seems to be getting more and more unfavorable to us."

Geralt raised his eyebrows at the master's statement, "Us? Are we on whose side?"

"I usually don't care about politics, but compared to the men in black, I am certainly closer to the northern countries!" Vesemir replied cheerfully.

Thinking back on the turbulent waves he encountered in the past year, even Geralt, who had recovered his memory, admitted that he was facing an unknown "era of contempt".

At this point in time, ancient codes have been crushed to pieces, but new values ​​have not yet been established.

"I'm sorry to say this, but my dear witcher master, there are no northern kingdoms anymore! Redania and Kaedwen are the territories of Radovid, while Temeria and Aedirn belong to Emhyr. Enris."

"Radovid vows to restore the previous borders after winning the war!"

"Do you believe him? No way..."

"One must have faith in order to continue on."

During the long chat, the two of them galloped, passing by dilapidated villages and across deserted fields. Unknowingly, "Baiguoyuan Village" was in sight in the distance.

…

…

Looking back on the not-too-distant year 1271, it was an unforgettable year. Three witchers who came from the south to the north used murderous methods to completely shake up the structure of the entire world.

The kingslayer!

From early spring to midsummer, they first assassinated King Demavi of Aedirn, and then assassinated King Foltest of Temeria, causing a severe impact on the northern kingdoms.

Then at the "Summit of Lomunne" at the end of summer, the arrested king-slayer Reso revealed that the person behind the scenes was the evil "Sorceress Assembly", named Philippa. Seven sorceresses, led by Erhart, were found responsible for this horrific crime.

The other six people are Xi'er. Tanshavier; Triss. Merigold; Margaretta. Antille; Ashley Anahim; Fringilla Vigo and Keira. Metz.

Many famous sorceresses became notorious overnight, laying the foundation for the subsequent "witch hunts".

…

Autumn of 1271.

Not missing the opportunity for chaos in the northern kingdoms, Nilfgaard in the south brazenly tore up the Peace of Cintra.

Emperor Emhyr. The steel army under Enrith crossed the Yaruga River and attacked from the Blue Mountains to Velen. Aedirn and Temeria, which bore the brunt of the attack, almost collapsed at the first touch.

Their frustration was unexpected but reasonable.

In Aedirn, the newly crowned King Stennes I was caught off guard by the fierce attack of the Black-clad Ones before he could recover the power vacuum left by the Dragon Girl Saskia of Upper Aedirn. He was trapped in the capital of Vengerberg and waited for rescue.

Unfortunately, he did not wait for reinforcements until the city was broken after 20 days. He could only jump from the tower and declare the complete destruction of Aedirn with his death.

In Temeria, although Anais La Valedi once became the core of Temeria, the ruling skills of Regent Natalis were not enough to control the greedy nobles.

This directly led to the fact that when Nilfgaard invaded, the struggle for power and mutual betrayal could not stop. The capital of Temeria, Vizima, was breached in a short time, trampled by the iron hooves of the Black-clad Ones, and the lilies withered and died.

…

As for the other two northern countries, King Henselt of Kaedwen showed his nature as a scavenger boar. When Aedirn was dying, he sent troops to Aedirn again and successfully swallowed up the coveted territory.

Unfortunately, he didn't stay happy for long, because the mantis stalked the cicada, and the oriole was behind.

Radovid, the young king of Redania, showed his sophisticated military qualities and genius strategic ability. He seized the flaw of his empty troops and brazenly crossed the snow-covered Kestra Mountains all year round to attack the capital of Kaedwen.

Lord Henselt of Ardkalai was defeated and burned himself.

This miraculous military adventure helped Radovid successfully annex Kaedwen and quickly reorganized its troops under his command.

At the same time, he not only made achievements in the military, but also initiated political reforms. The king, who regarded mages as the source of evil, launched a "witch hunt" movement to completely eliminate the influence of spellcasters.

Under Radovid's authorization, the witch hunters of the Church of the Eternal Fire went out and relied on anti-magic armed forces to eliminate all wizards and magic users in the territory, confiscating their accumulated wealth to fight against Nilfgaard.

As the horror spread across the north, people called this king "heartless" behind his back for his deep and cunning behavior and ruthless and cruel nature.

In this way, when winter came, other countries were defeated by the black-clad men, but Radovid completely consolidated the situation and commanded the elite Redanian Legion to confront the Nilfgaard Iron Guard across the Pontar River.

With this brilliant victory, he became the most successful monarch in the history of the northern countries!

Regardless of whether people's evaluation of him is good or bad, all clear-headed people now agree that "heartless Radovid V" is the final bastion to prevent Nilfgaard Emperor Emhyr Emreis from ruling the world.
