Witcher's Atelier

First Shani, then Dandelion. Although the two friends left, they were a little disappointed, but life still had to move on.

After resuming his reading and jogging schedule, the once sensational "dragon-born poet" had no follow-up updates, and his popularity faded away after a few days.

Victor sincerely lamented that after Dandelion, the troublemaker, left, the world would be peaceful and peaceful, and even Angouleme's injuries would recover faster.

Before leaving home, he caught a glimpse of the girl lying on the edge of the dining table studying a piece of paper. It was a copy of the secret letter of the Scoia'tat Party that the boy had given her a few days ago.

He leaned over and watched: "How's it going? Do you have any thoughts?"

"Come on, I'm about to figure out the answer, just give me a little more time." She waved her hand to chase them away.

The group members worked hard and focused, and felt proud of themselves as the group leader. They decided to make two more apple pies for dinner to reward her.

Carrying the herbal bag, he was going to the swamp forest today to ask "Yaiwen" for a message delivery reward. Victor originally didn't want to deliver the message for him, but the reward he gave was too fragrant and tempting, a rare alchemy material. It happens to be a must-have for “herbal medicine”.

However, after two conversations with Intelligence Bureau Taller, the boy was sure that the Scoia'tael would make big news soon, and there would be a reason why the King's Eye would be targeting him.

So now the young man feels that his gains outweigh his losses and he has to spend more money!

Even if the Elf Commander has a higher chance of not adding money, he must express his position clearly and temporarily break ties with the Scoia'tael.

…

Standing high in the swamp forest, looking at the logging area from a distance, there are actually not only humans working there, but also some non-human races. The elves are the least, and the dwarves are slightly more than the elves.

"I told you to talk and visit the unique scenery, so why don't you bring me here?"

"I wanted to see this place today, so I came here. Can't you stay with me for a while?"

Victor turned his head to look at Yaiwen and noticed that there were a few streaks of gray in his black hair. It seemed that he had not been having a good life recently, maybe he was overworked.

Apart from the two of them, today he was only accompanied by his old friend "Elf Scout" who was also familiar to Victor. The three of them were peeking into the logging area in the jungle.

"Do you often come here to observe? Could it be that this scene allows you to see a future where humans and non-humans coexist harmoniously? I remember that their slogan when I visited was 'Work makes me happy'."

"...Are you really mean, or do you really think this is called harmonious coexistence?

No, I am here to appreciate how humans exploit my fellow humans, enslave inhuman races, and are determined to resist to the end.

We must know that thanks to our resistance, their non-resistance is precious, and only a thin and inhumane protection policy is implemented. "

"I reserve your opinion."

“I give you permission to keep it.

Now, you said you wanted to talk to me, what did you want to talk about? "

"When I went to deliver the letter this time, you didn't tell me in advance that the banker had been targeted by Thaler, which caused me to almost get caught. Do you have any explanation for this?"

Yaiwen's narrow eyes stared into the distance, where a dwarf overseer was beating the elf with a whip. It was too far away and he didn't know why.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know beforehand. I didn't want to involve you, at least not now."

Staring into each other's eyes, Victor believed this. Even if he was on their side now, it would only be a drop in the bucket. A demon hunter who was good at killing monsters would be of little help to his career, not even as important as a mission. The postman arrived.

"I really need to pay more this time! Taller searched me thoroughly. If it had been anyone else, let alone delivering the letter, they would have gone to jail and enjoyed the entertainment. Let's not contact each other for a while."

Yayiwen laughed out loud, "Okay, but I still don't have the money. If you need any other materials, ask for them from the herbal medicine seller in the slums of the city. I will inform him."

Reaching out to take the "Flying Lion Monster Poison Gland" from Yayiwen, Victor couldn't help but make suggestions.

"Why don't you take your men back to the Valley of Flowers? The elven kingdom rebuilt by Francesca is your hometown after all."

"Impossible! Baihua Valley is my hometown, but I cannot accept the rule of that cousin.

I will never forget her betrayal - tying up thirty-two officers of the 'Verihed Brigade' and handing them over to the northern countries, and I will never forget what she said to us that day:

‘For the future of the elves! ’.

Thirty loyal officers did not die on the battlefield, but were hanged on the gallows. Because they faithfully carried out orders, destroyed transportation and disrupted production, they became war criminals who massacred civilians after the war. "

He punched the tree trunk hard, causing the leaves to fall.

"Francesca will not be my queen, and I will never go back to 'Dol Bretanner' and put my fate in her hands again."

"But you should also think about the people who follow you."

"I think clearly. If I go back, the northern countries will ask Baihua Valley to hand us over. Staying here to fight is our hope."

"I know you are looking forward to war, my friend.

When the 'Third Nilfgaardian War' begins, on that day, the Southern Empire and the Valley of Flowers will once again think of it and call on the power of the Scoia'tael. As long as they achieve complete victory, you will be out of trouble. You are Is that what you think?

But even if the South wins, your men may be saved, but you are certain to die. Emhyr wants to stabilize his rule. Emperor Enrith will not tolerate a notorious executioner like you. You are a stain that must be wiped away. "

"I don't care. I did this for Baihua Valley, not for my appearance. Until the day of victory, I will run away far away, to a place where no one knows me.

Do you know why I joined the Scoia'tael in the first place? "

Victor stretched out his hand to block the situation in front of him, "My suggestions are just friendly advice before parting. If you are going to tell a touching story, just save it. I don't particularly want to hear it."

"But I want to talk now." He left the zelkova tree he was leaning on and walked toward the dock. "I will give you a ride. Along the way, you will have enough time to listen to the dark secrets deep in my soul."

Sighing, the young man followed quickly, but the elf scout still followed behind without saying a word. The last two times they met, his expression was quite gloomy, no longer as sunny as when they first met.

…

The story of the black-haired elf is cliche and has nothing to add to it. Compared with countless other similar stories, his mellow alto opera accent is the biggest advantage.

"A long time ago, I lived in a city full of humans, and I honestly and diligently respected all their ridiculous habits and laws.

Assimilation - I lived under that word for several years. During that time I was deceived, ridiculed, and occasionally beaten and robbed.

But I don't hate humans, I feel better than them. I tell myself that they just can't control the weaknesses of their personality. This is their shortcoming and we must tolerate them.

I was robbed three times, just like everyone else, and racist slogans were often smeared on my door with feces.

For several years I wondered, had I done something wrong? What can I do to bring peace into my life? Do you know what the last thing I knew was? "

"I don't know, but I believe you are preparing to tell me." Victor replied calmly.

“I’ve done nothing wrong, and looking for fault in myself is like climbing a tree looking for fish or jumping into the ocean floor looking for deer.

I am pursuing non-existent results in the wrong place. I can never find peace in human society, just like the moon can never catch up with the sun, and humans will never change. "

─Human beings will change, as long as they are given another thousand years to evolve, maybe...

“They stubbornly retain selfishness, are jealous, narrow-minded, fearful of the individuality of things they don’t understand—and, believe me, there are many, many other shortcomings.

The day I woke up to this, I left the city and joined the Scoia'tael. "

Victor was silent for a while.

"And now you are very similar to humans. Congratulations. I mean the flawed parts...such as beating and robbing, and racial discrimination."

…

Watching the ship slowly leaving the shore and heading to the center of the lake, the elf scout asked Yaiwen, "Why don't you keep Victor? He obviously guessed something? Even if you don't hurt him, you can detain him first."

"Control your hatred and don't make the wrong target. Losing your brother is very painful for you, and it is also painful for me, but it is precisely because of this that we must distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

He was not a friend yet, but he was definitely not an enemy, and there was nothing more foolish than pushing a possible friend into an enemy. "

Patting the elf scout on the shoulder, Yaiwen continued thoughtfully: "His kind of rationalist must have a trump card. Even if you fall out with him, even if you win, he will make the winner very painful."

"Go back! It's time for us to take action."
