Witcher's Atelier

They came suddenly and left gracefully. They were talking about these three friends of the Viper School, and they left precious gifts for themselves.

Not long after leaving Kaermohan, after finishing all the energy soup in stock, Victor began to worry about the reduced effect of physical training, and the Viper School's energy soup formula could just make up for this shortcoming.

Looking back on the process of the encounter, from the helping hand, the communication by the lake, the sharing of materials, to the communication over drinks, this was the boy's first contact with witchers outside of the wolf school. In the past, these schools were just pen and ink on the pages of books, but now they Real existence.

Standing in front of the city gate, he pondered for a while about the absurd exclamations about school divisions, racial discrimination, and professional discrimination. A drizzle fell from the sky to drive people away. Victor walked quickly into the doorway and rushed back to his home in the temple area despite the rain, because he Suddenly it occurred to him that Shani might still be waiting for him at home.

Along the way, I vaguely heard two children humming songs...

"As Rafald stepped forward, the gates rose before him, and Vizima welcomed its true master."

…

Pushing the door open and entering the room, luckily it was later and Shani had already gone to work in the hospital. Otherwise, Victor would have had a headache thinking of explaining why he was socializing again and smelling of alcohol. When he saw the "note" and " "Handmade breakfast", the boy expressed his gratitude to the young lady.

When they got to the room on the second floor, Angouleme was still sleeping soundly. Standing by the window, Catherine, who looked worried about the country and the people, tilted her head to observe. After confirming that it was Victor, she turned her head away without interest and continued to watch melancholy. Raindrops outside the window.

He leaned a little closer and listened to the girl's steady breathing. He curled his lips and returned to his room. He originally wanted to lie down and fall asleep, but he couldn't bear the smell of alcohol and sweat all over his body. He went out to get water in the rain and took a shower. Then I went to bed and slept until the afternoon.

…

Victor, it's time for me to go to work.

Angouleme is recovering well, and I must say that your skills as an alchemist are much more trustworthy than those of a witcher.

Since you haven't come back all night, I can guess that you are probably drunk again and smell of alcohol, but I am not going to blame you this time.

During the physical examination before leaving home, you are the healthiest person I have ever seen, and your strength is far greater than that of an adult. This is the condition when you and Angoulein have just returned from injury.

Therefore, I admit that it is necessary to re-evaluate the physical structure of the witcher apprentice, and we can no longer use children's standards to require your behavior, especially that you have a correspondingly mature mind.

But you still have to remember to eat breakfast!

Your loyal friend. Shani

…

When he woke up, it was just after noon. The young man went to the kitchen and mixed some apple pies in a pot for lunch. He went down to the basement and took out the alchemy materials that had been arranged in advance, and put the whole bag on his back.

These things, plus the "vampire blood" obtained yesterday, finally completed the alchemist mission in Kalkstan, and can receive the stage reward: the formula for improving the spiritual potion.

Although after confirming that the "Happy Growth Method" is effective, increasing the upper limit of mental power is not a problem, the refreshing agent still has strategic value as a temporary supplement for the dazed state when alchemy fatigue occurs.

As long as his mental energy is not drained out and he faints in an instant, before the refreshing drug develops resistance, he can obviously tinker with something that he could not do in the past because of his lack of endurance.

Walking on the streets of the Temple District, the light rain cleared up and the air was fresh. Victor soon arrived at the alchemy workshop in Kalkistan.

When I opened the door, I could vaguely hear children not far away singing nursery rhymes, "Black banana, black banana, hey yo hey yo black banana, hey yo hey yo I can't pull it out, little girl, come on, come on and help me pull it out" Black Banana!”

The tune was light and cheerful, making Victor's steps stiffen a little. He thought about the possibility of compiling two educational nursery rhymes to teach children, and then opened the door and entered.

…

Kalkistan's alchemy workshop is still so dark, and the method of testing the freshness of materials is still so obscene.

Licking the remaining blood on his fingers, the nervous alchemist returned to his academic appearance: "Well done, Apprentice Victor, the reward I promised you - the formula is on the right side of the second row of the bookshelf. I put the manuscript in the fourth frame there.

And that pile of manuscripts is what I recommend to you to read this time. Observing the types of books you often borrow and the content you are accustomed to checking, I believe that that information is what you want. "

The alchemist's words made the apprentice slightly stunned, and after blinking, Victor bent down ninety degrees and bowed in thanks.

Because it is not easy to find the correct information in the vast sea of ​​books, and an alchemist with rich knowledge like Kalkstein will not joke academically and say that it is helpful to him, then it must be extremely valuable, far away Better than searching for pieces of knowledge like a needle in a haystack.

Taking the book off the shelf, he could hardly help but tremble with his fingertips when he saw the cover of the manuscript. "Record of the Effects of Herbal Reagents on the Human Body". At first glance, the title seemed ordinary, but the word "influence" , in fact, it can be changed to "mutation", because the signature of the manuscript is clearly - "Azu Lie" - the father of green herbal medicine.

He held the manuscript down with piety, and after opening it, it turned out to contain the formula for a "spirit-enhancing potion." At this moment, he felt something in his heart... Victor suddenly turned around.

Kalkstein had walked up to the boy at some point, and his slightly atavistic appearance was not at all funny at the moment: "Child, although I don't know why you want to study these things, I must remind you that this is not a good thing. Research topic.

Azulie's success is the inevitable result of countless bloody experiments. It is a helpless choice made in the dark ages of the past. Knowledge itself has no distinction between good and evil, so I will not set limits to prevent you from researching.

But I must give you advice. Sooner or later, under its guidance, you will be unable to help but conduct human experiments, and then the knights of justice will break in and tie you to a stake and burn you alive.

Believe me, I have no sympathy for you at all when I see that scene.

Every witcher in existence is meaningful and valuable, but humans no longer need them that much, so every new witcher born is innocent and redundant.

I don't think it's a shame that the 'technology that made them' is buried. "

Looking at Kalkstein's serious look, Victor knew that he meant well, so the young man touched his nose and decided to respond head-on.

"It is a wrong idea to think that witchers are manufactured weapons or tools. I think they are still human beings.

Every witcher, at least the ones I have met, may have all kinds of problems, but they are also good people.

Meritelli on top! The most evil beings I have ever seen did not have beastly pupils, and the filthiest crimes I have ever seen were committed with an axe, not a silver sword.

I don’t think that a few mutations in the body can deny the essence of being a human being. The definition of whether a person is a human being should depend on human nature. "

Kalkstein fell into silence for a long time, then sneered: "You should become a philosopher. Your ideas in the field of philosophy are much more reliable than your alchemy skills."

After speaking, the alchemist and the alchemist apprentice looked at each other and smiled.

Kalkstein turned and walked back to the workbench, then stopped suddenly after a few steps: "By the way, when you first came here, I was discussing the Catriona Plague with a mage. Do you still remember this? "

The alchemy apprentice nodded, "Yes, he may be in a hurry to go to the toilet and can't wait to open the portal to leave, without even having time to say thank you or goodbye."

Kalkstein laughed out loud at Victor's explicit sarcasm, "Don't worry, Alexander is the kind of fool scientist who indulges in research. He seems to have made great gains from the tips you gave him. Send a message to contact me to ask you." Name, I told him.

He asked me to tell you if you would like to work as an assistant in his laboratory. I think this is a good research topic and learning opportunity. "

Victor raised his eyebrows, "Where does he work?"

"Currently in the Velen region, a Baron Wesselad built a mage tower for him."

The apprentice smiled gently, "Let me think about it!"
