Witcher's Atelier

According to Shani, the wedding will last from morning to midnight.

Then the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the sky, lanterns were hung on the treetops, and the party continued with music and dancing in the hall in the center of the town.

Lute, trumpet, accordion and flute, the light music echoes the laughter.

Mixed in the crowd on the dance floor, Shani and Victor, who were slightly tipsy, linked arms and twirled, took small steps, clapped their legs, twisted their waists and raised their hips to sway to their heart's content.

And, always look at each other and smile.

This lively and noisy carnival will last until midnight, when the bride is crowned and crowned.

At this moment, the dance music paused for an intermission, and the two of them stood still waiting for the next song to start.

"Phew! You dance so well. I originally thought that witchers had nothing to do with dancing..." Shani was in high spirits.

The corners of Victor's mouth turned up, "Humph! Where are we, we haven't shown our true abilities yet!

As an elegant new witcher, I have been practicing dance for almost two and a half years since I left Kaer Morhen! "

"That's good. I was worried that you would be bored."

"How is that possible! Dancing around with a beautiful girl with a rosy face, her red hair swaying freely, a few buttons of her snow-white shirt popping open from time to time, and the waves are turbulent..."

"Hahaha! Help! Don't remind me of that bastard Dandelion today."

Laughing without restraint, Victor stared at Shani's face, which was flushed with blush caused by aerobic exercise and drinking. It was so cute that people suddenly wanted to kiss her.

But just when he was about to start speaking, a voice from the performance stage stopped his action.

“Gentlemen and ladies, next we have a surprise for our special guests, the alchemist Victor and his beautiful companion Shani.

Musicians, please play some romantic songs for this lovely couple! "The person who spoke was surprisingly Gaunt O'Deim, and this evil being appeared at the wedding, wearing a flower-woven crown on his bald head.

Noticing the change in the witcher's face, the senior looked at the strange man on the stage, "What's going on? Do you know that person?"

Victor shook his head, "Don't be deceived by appearance, that's not a human being. He is the Mirror Master I told you. The Extraterrestrial Devil."

"If you want to find him, I will go with you." Shani said calmly.

The witcher neither agreed nor denied the senior sister's request. He just stared at the brown-eyed man on the high platform.

They looked at each other for a few seconds, Gaunt. Odim was the first to avoid it, bowed gracefully, then turned around and walked off the stage, disappearing into the crowd.

The band began to play a lyrical melody.

Recalling his words and actions since his appearance, Victor's serious expression thawed, "Forget it, don't be in a hurry, he can ask for songs and obviously he is not in a hurry, otherwise he will come directly to the door.

Now, lovely lady, will you dance this dance with me? "He bowed and extended his hands to invite the dance.

Simply heartless!

Shani rolled her eyes angrily, "Asshole! Aren't you worried at all? That's an evil devil!"

Then she sighed and put her hand into his hand helplessly, "Just jump!"

…

After a while, it turned out that Victor's guess was right, and the other party was really not in a hurry.

Because after the romantic dance, they walked around the hall without finding anyone. It seemed as if the Mirror Master had never appeared here, so the two had to give up the search.

As midnight approached, the villagers gathered in the town hall to prepare for the last ceremony of the wedding banquet - the crown-wearing ceremony.

The process of performing this ceremony starts with the bride sitting in the middle holding a bouquet, surrounded by young unmarried girls - they are all close friends of Adona, including Shani.

Then all the villagers in the town clapped and sang songs to bless the marriage.

"The newlyweds will have a toast and they will get together again in three or two years. There will be many little furries there, who will be cute and well-behaved.

Please don't worry about the lyrics, it's just to make you smile, it's intended for the guests to raise their glasses and swallow this morning's good wine. "

In the sound of songs, the bridesmaids held hands with each other and danced the Candy dance around the bride in unison, with joyful smiles on everyone's faces.

“The bride has made her vows and the groom better watch out, in less than a year the horns will be popping up.

What was going through the groom's mind? His face was so gloomy that it was hard to guess. Perhaps the people of Zhengtian were at war and wanted to marry the cow and go home?

Don't worry, take her home, the calf's milk will come next, and have a drink happily, tonight is the wedding night! "

The absurd and uninhibited lyrics reached his ears, and as he clapped and lip-synced, Victor looked at the simple smiles of the farmers and lamented that maybe his thoughts were unclean, which led to the strange associations.

At the end of the singing, the mother of the bride Edona came forward to take the flower crown for her, and put on a beautiful hairnet and headscarf, which represented that she had become a married young woman.

The ceremony is almost over.

Finally, the bride closes her eyes and gently throws the bouquet in her hand back. According to their sacred custom, the person who receives the bouquet will be the next person to get married.

The bouquet flew out!

It fell into Shani's hands.

She looked directly at Victor.

They looked at each other and laughed.

…

The moon was bright so the stars were sparse, and there was a lingering noisy atmosphere nearby. Victor and Shani walked to the courtyard to breathe in the fresh air.

"It's past midnight...the wedding is over. Thank you so much for accompanying me today."

"Don't say that, I had a great time. Jonas is a good guy and Adona will be happy."

"I think so too. Looking back, yesterday was such a fulfilling and explosive day...

ah! Did Vladimir's twelve hours expire and he returned to the tomb? "

"That's right, the righteous body fell apart a few hours ago. He must return to the grave, otherwise his soul will continue to lose and he will disappear soon."

"Two alchemists, regarding the topic of Vladimir, I think the poor one has a certain say. After all, I was there and watched him disappear into ashes with my own eyes."

Suddenly a greasy male voice interrupted, and Victor and Shani looked at the source of the voice at the same time.

I don’t know when the mirror master wearing a flower crown on his head, Gaunt. Odim stood a few steps away, biting the apple in his hand.

He stretched his legs, straightened his hands, turned his head downward, and touched his chin to his chest, performing a standard Nilfgaardian salute.

"Salute to you, master alchemist Victor Corleone! Congratulations, the prosthetic skeleton you made is so ingenious that it has successfully allowed Vladimir to enjoy the joy of living.

A few hours ago, I confirmed that my second wish came true, so I rushed here non-stop to tell you the good news!

But seeing such a happy wedding, I was embarrassed to disturb the two of you dancing, so I had to wait until it was over to appear in front of you. "

Blinking, Victor was about to speak, but Shani got there first, "So you came to Brunwich just to say this? To urge him to do the next task?"

Her tone was definitely not friendly, but it wasn't bad either, just neither humble nor arrogant.

Mirror Master crossed his arms cheerfully, "No! You misunderstood me. I'm not that ignorant. I know everything, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until now!

In fact, I have been paying attention to you two since you first met at the Old Cold Legs Tavern, and witnessed the entanglement in the way your eyes looked at each other from curiosity to familiarity, and the emotions from simple to complicated..."

Shani didn't panic, she just frowned, "You...how do you know? And why do you pay attention to us?"

"Dear Shani... would you ask how the eagle learned to fly? As for the reason, there is no need to explain─"

"──Mr. Odim!" Victor interrupted the conversation, "Thank you for your enthusiasm in coming to inform..., now that I know about Vladimir, you can leave now.

No need to rush, I will go back to Oxenfurt tomorrow to find Olgierd and ask about the requirements of the third task. "

Holding his hands together and rubbing them, Master Mirror looked helpless as he was wronged, "Alas! I really didn't mean to urge you, I just wanted to express my admiration for the master. Sure enough, nothing in the world can trouble you!"

But I understand your concerns, I will leave now and look forward to meeting you next time. "

After saying that, he turned around and walked briskly out of the village, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
