Witcher's Atelier

The King's Eye Tal's men soon arrived near Victor's home, preparing to monitor Angouleme's whereabouts. As soon as she returned, she would fall into the net. However, no one noticed that the hawk "Catherine" seemed to have heard something, flew up from the second-floor window, and disappeared in the sky.

…

In the vault of Vivaldi Bank, Yawen of the Squirrel Party was supervising his men to transport bags of gold coins into the sewer.

A subordinate came over and asked, "What should we do next? They caught *** and now they say they caught Victor. Will they find out our secret?"

The black-haired elf narrowed his eyes, "Don't pay attention to what they say. Pretending not to know Victor is the greatest help to him." Then he raised his voice slightly, "Everyone start to withdraw from the vault and retreat into the sewer."

Hearing the order, the subordinate was startled: "*** is still in the hands of humans. Do we really not need to exchange him for hostages?"

"He didn't obey the order. He lost his mind when provoked and led his brothers to die. I will chop off his head even if he is rescued. It's better to die with humans."

"But sir, he is your brother after all."

"I don't have a brother. Both of my brothers are dead."

...

The single room inside the temporary command center is not as luxuriously decorated as the hall, but it is a house in the trade zone after all. It is still very comfortable. Victor sat at the table, eating cakes and drinking milk.

Six of Tal's men were fully armed, with crossbows on the string and swords around him in the center. There were two lily knights guarding him. They were the protectors sent by Princess Yada.

The door opened, and Tal approached with the boy's herbal bag in his hand, "Can we talk?"

"If I say no, will you leave?"

He shook his head and pulled out a chair to sit down. He took out a bottle of wine from his arms and poured himself a glass, and also filled a glass for Victor, and then drank most of it in one gulp.

"Well done, I haven't been so embarrassed for a long time, and I haven't been so excited for a long time. I am full of joy when I think of you kneeling in front of me and begging me to forgive you when I dig out all your dark secrets."

The boy grabbed the pastry and wolfed it into his mouth, and then gulped down a mouthful of milk to help chew.

Facing his nonchalant attitude, the director frowned, "Yaiwen said he didn't know you, and the Squirrel Party didn't say anything except denying that you were accomplices.

This reminds me of when he first met you, he used the word betrayal. To "betray" you must have something to sell, but they are in the bank, surrounded by city guards, and can only negotiate with us. What else can they sell?

So I guess the Squirrel Party still has a trump card, and it must be something we didn't expect. Their appearance in the bank is enough to surprise me. I don't need more surprises. If you are willing to give me some hints, I can consider just hanging you."

"Just hang me? From your tone, this is a reward?"

"Yes, this is a reward.

One of the few good things in war, I learned some skills from Nilfgaard. Although it cannot be carried out publicly, we can cut off all the protruding parts of your body in private, and then use a branding iron to scorch it to stop the bleeding, and finally hang you on the iron hook to slowly air dry, just like bacon."

Slowly drinking the milk in the cup, Victor noticed that the two lily knights in front of him had disapproving expressions on their faces. Obviously, this cruel punishment is not the norm in Temeria, but more like Tal's personal intimidation, and this degree can't scare Victor.

Observing that the boy still had no expression on his face, Tal nodded, "Amazing psychological quality, but the experts I invited will arrive soon, and your deception will be exposed."

...

With a click, the door was opened. Although he turned his back to the door, he was not surprised by the familiar rosemary scent.

Taller stood up to greet him, "Welcome, Ms. Keira."

The sorceress walked into the room with a cat-like step, the fragrance drifted past the boy, and she reached out to take the backpack from the director's hand, "Is this the herbal bag that you said must have secrets, but can't detect magic?"

When asking the question, Keira stared at Victor's eyes, and Victor also looked into her eyes, fearless.

He felt like he was going to resign anyway, so he could do whatever he wanted. Besides, when they met again next time, it was estimated that the cautious disguise would be useless.

The director answered affirmatively: "Ms. Consultant, I saw him put a secret letter into his bag with my own eyes, and then disappeared."

The sorceress nodded, and the violet magic light flashed, and circles of ripples spread from her body, filling the entire room, and the vibration of the wolf badge suddenly accelerated.

It didn't last long. When the ripples dissipated and the vibrations slowed down, she looked at Tal in confusion, "Is the King's Eye dazzled? This is just an ordinary herb bag."

"This is impossible. Is there no other way to hide it?" The director was a little unwilling.

"I believe you can do a better job of physical body search. As for the suggestions on magic, my magic wave swept through him. He is not a spellcaster and there is no trace of magic equipment on his body." Then Keira laughed and teased, "Are you really blinded by love and imagined a non-existent scene?"

"I did see it, even in front of the king." Tal answered monotonously and firmly.

Rolling her eyes, the sorceress's magic burst out, and the herb bag in her hand was instantly ignited by the flames, and turned into ashes in her hand in an instant.

"If you care so much, there is nothing to care about now, give him a new one!"

Originally, he hoped that Keira Metz could find out the secret, but Taler didn't expect the sorceress's willfulness to destroy the possible evidence.

The King's Eye sighed: "Excuse me, I have to deal with other things." Then he walked out of the room without looking back.

Seeing Taler's back going away, the sorceress said: "You go outside and wait first, I have something to talk to him alone."

The six Taler men and the two Lily Knights looked at each other and left the room without hesitation.

The magic was running, and the chair where the director had just sat was covered with a layer of luxurious cushions. Then Keira sat down and said helplessly: "Why do you think witch hunters are so troublesome? They say they are neutral, but they get involved in things that you should not participate in again and again."

Her tone sounded very gentle, even soft.

"I don't know what you are talking about." But the boy never forgot the teachings of leniency for confession and strictness for resistance.

The sorceress rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "Before coming here, I went to see the elf. With his confusion and torture, he couldn't stop his mind from exploring, and all his thoughts were exposed in front of me.

I know that the "good things" you did are actually nothing big, and I can pretend not to know.

As long as you beg for mercy, I won't expose you, how about it?"

After saying that, Kayla leaned forward and put ** on the table, holding her chin with both hands and squinting her eyes, waiting for Victor's answer.
