Witcher's Atelier

"The Soaked Letter"

Lonnie!

Believe it or not, I heard that there was a prince in the Oxenfurt sewers who was cursed to turn into a toad. Sounds like fantasy, I know, but Suther of Sirop swore it was true, and Mary Heather vouched for it to me.

They all said that the prince came from a distant country to pursue a certain noble lady, but her lover, the wizard, cast a spell to turn the prince into a toad out of jealousy and hatred.

It is said that if a girl can find the toad and give it a kiss on the mouth, the sticky monster can turn into a handsome prince.

You don't need to guess what happens next. That kind of prince is definitely not a commoner. He will definitely repay the kindness and marry the girl who rescued him.

Lonnie, next time you come to Ossenfurt to visit the market, go for a walk in the sewers. What I say is true, maybe you will become the prince's fiancée when you walk out of the sewers!

…

In a dark sewer where there are few other creatures and only water ghosts are rampant, two people hold torches and move forward. They are a wonderful combination of a doctor and a witcher.

The body of a woman stuck to the wall was covered with a layer of slime, probably left by the monster to enjoy later.

The body fixed to the ceiling nearby was almost intact, with only the upper half of her body covered in mucus. I hope she didn't suffer too much before she died.

After sniffing the smell and shaking off the scraped tissue with the knife, Shani's expression was not very good, "She is also a woman. She must want to find the prince."

"Ah! Another unfortunate romantic came here to lift the prince's curse, only to be met by the god of death." Victor crossed his arms and smacked his lips.

"I've heard this rumor too, but just based on the letter you found, are you so confident that the monster is a giant toad? Is it responsible for all the killings?... But first, no matter what kind of monster it is, wait a minute Be careful not to get sprayed by the mucus, it contains a strong paralyzing effect."

"Thank you for reminding me, I don't want to fall asleep at all. As for the types of monsters, please trust the judgment of experts. All fairy tales must have some truth, and so do rumors.

...Tsk! By the way, is this place originally curved like this? "Victor stopped and looked at the bow-shaped depression left by the iron fence that had obviously suffered a heavy impact.

Shani shook her head and denied, "No! I was fine when I ran away. I must have been hit by that monster."

Holding the iron rod with both hands and shaking it, the deformed fence is still strong, otherwise it would not be able to block the monster, but the wall next to it is visibly collapsed and loose.

After picking up the seal and using Alder Blast to open a gap large enough for people to pass through, the witcher and the doctor continued to move forward.

"Be careful, the monster may still be nearby!" Not far from the gate, Victor squatted down to inspect the tattered corpse, "The soldier who came with you?"

"It's them, Fern, Miklas... so pitiful." Shani's face was full of unbearable, "They saved my life!"

"Are you familiar with them?"

"I just met North this morning, but Fern and I served in the Battle of Dorian not long ago, and Miklas has just joined the army. ... After you deal with the monster, I will definitely find someone to collect the body below. Bury them well."

"Tell me more about the attack?"

“After we came in, Miklas started looking for footprints, and then the water ghosts started attacking us.

They quickly dealt with the water ghost, but Franz was injured and couldn't walk, so I stayed with him. I tried to bandage him while North stood watching.

Then the thing appeared, and North pushed me towards the exit, then charged towards the monster.

When the commotion subsided, I went back and saw him lying on the ground, covered in mucus. I tried to save him and dragged him to the place where I met you. You know what happened next. "

Victor smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

In fact, the witcher knew what the senior said by observing the environment, and asked her to describe it in an orderly manner, which mainly helped to stabilize her emotions.

…

after a while.

"The corpses are rotting, there is mucus everywhere, and there is that unique smell. This must be the monster's lair!"

The place where the witcher stopped was at the intersection of the city's drainage channels. The wide space stretched far away through corridors one after another, and unknown horrors were hidden in the darkness.

He squatted down in front of one of the passages, "Look at the moist and fresh mucus here. The monster must have been there just now."

After hearing what Victor said, Shani also squatted down to confirm, and quickly took out a test tube and scraper from the herbal bag she carried to collect samples.

"Are these samples enough?"

"I hope it's enough, but I also want to get some pure venom... Whether it's trying to distill it to make an antidote, or testing interesting properties... Anyway, let's wait until we kill the monster first!"

Noticing the use of "we" in the senior sister's tone, as if she was also listed as a combat unit, the witcher raised his eyebrows, "Don't be ridiculous, dear, you want to join the war too? I don't think so! You'd better go up and wait for me. …or just go home.”

"But I think it's okay! The incident just happened suddenly and I was a little caught off guard. Now that I'm mentally prepared, I promise to surprise you!" The doctor bit his lower lip with a very serious expression.

"Dear! Don't bargain with experts. It takes more than courage to truly face monsters!" Victor raised his chin slightly. "At most, I will hide you nearby. Maybe I will need your help after the battle is over!"

Holding her arms across her chest, Shani pouted and stared at him with lake-green eyes to express dissatisfaction. However, after their eyes met for a moment, she suddenly moved closer to hold Victor's face, lowered her head and kissed the young man's forehead, "Then be careful! I'll hide nearby!" Then she turned and moved in the direction where the two were coming from.

The doctor's attitude changed too quickly, which surprised the witcher for a moment. The other party had never been the type to listen to advice obediently in the past, but it was normal to think about it. When encountering such sticky monsters, girls would be weaker.

Watching her slender back disappear into the darkness, Victor, who had no worries, took out alcohol and poured it on the rotting corpse next to him.

From the intelligence he had just explored along the way, he learned that this toad monster liked the smell of alcohol mixed with blood. Now, through the temptation of high-purity alcohol, I believe that the foreign prince will soon come.

And sure enough, not long after kneeling and meditating, Victor could feel the rumbling of the ground and the trembling of the water waves, which fully demonstrated its extraordinary size.

The demon hunter, who had been prepared for this, was not afraid. The battle patterns on his face were gorgeous and colorful, and the frost in his palm was shining.

He was ready to get rid of this disgusting monster as quickly as possible, and then leave this stinking sewer with his senior sister and return to his warm residence to reminisce about the past.
