Chapter 32 There is no hatred without reason
After Knight Thales and Commander Kramer left, Grandma Nannick waved to Victor to help her and said, "Let's go to the greenhouse!"
Walking out of the side hall, flowers were blooming in the early summer garden. On the way to the greenhouse, there were female students or priests asking if they needed help, but the nuns gently waved her hands and let them do their own thing.
Victor knew very well that she didn't need anyone's support at all, and she was very flexible when working, so this kind of intimacy was just a statement, for other people in the temple and the civilians who came to ask for help...
However, at this time, Victor had many questions about the play he had just performed and wanted to ask his elders for advice and exchanges. Although Angouleme sorted out the summary and results for him, success or failure was determined by the details.
Victor kept his feet steady and regular, matching the pace of the priestess.
"Mommy, you seem to have known Knight Thales for a long time. Do you know why he hates witchers so much?"
Nannick said calmly: "Didn't you already know that he was biased? Why would you ask that?"
"Because the hatred he showed just now far exceeded my imagination beforehand. I always felt that there should be a deeper reason."
There was silence for a while.
Sighing, Mammy said slowly: "That was about ten years ago. At that time, Thales had just joined the Knights of the White Rose and became the favorite of the old guy Siward─"
"Uh, are you that kind of favored minister?" Victor interrupted unconsciously and asked.
It was so shocking. I didn’t expect that this guy Taylor, who looked so thick-browed and big-eyed, would actually...!
"Haha, who knows? That's not what I care about." She continued: "The young man is full of blood and can be easily led. At that time, he was instilled by White Rose's mentor to hate the witcher, and by defeating Famous witchers promote their own ideas of martial prowess.
Then Geralt happened to come to my place to recuperate at this time. "
The young man suddenly laughed out loud: "Wow... The White Wolf, Geralt of Rivia, and the Butcher of Blavikan. A young knight wants to defeat him with swordsmanship in a duel? It's really daring to think, really whimsical."
"So they were very practical and asked Geralt not to touch a finger of his. He would be beaten if he only defended without attacking. Otherwise, he would be hanged." The priestess shook her head disdainfully.
Victor raised his eyebrows, "What happened next?"
There was a bit of amusement on the face of the priestess, "He tripped over a stone and fell. He was slashed on the face with his own sword, and then he cried as if one of his hands had been cut off.
Geralt kept his promise not to touch his body, so Kramer blocked Falwick's wrath and let Geralt go. "
With the experience of being beaten by Vesemir in a fancy way while practicing swordplay in Kaer Morhen, Victor can fully imagine how Geralt did it. You can also imagine how much humiliation Knight Thales' glass heart would feel, even if he brought it upon himself.
"Who is Falwick?"
"Count Morn, Thales' mentor in the Knights of the White Rose, one of the witnesses of that funny duel."
After a while, they walked onto the hiking trail.
"Mammy, you just last said that you wanted to write to the Duchess. Are you familiar with her?"
“Amelia, my pharmacy has been supplying her with aphrodisiacs for years.
But I'm afraid she can't help with this matter. Although Siward doesn't hate the witcher, he doesn't care either. "
The young man was not surprised by the answer. It was unrealistic to say that Thales had been responsible for managing the city's security over the years, but the prince knew nothing about the knight's actions. It was good news to be indifferent rather than disgusted.
During the conversation, the two walked to the greenhouse, and Victor stepped forward to open the door and let the high priest into the cave.
The priestess picked up the scissors and bone stick and walked into the potted plant area with a flexible step: "Speaking of which, you were very calm just now. I thought you were overwhelmed with anger and wanted to leave immediately. The final deadline you set They must be very angry.
But you must know that this really offended them. If it was just a severe beating, now it will definitely be more intense. "
Victor replied nonchalantly: "Then they have to catch me first. If they can't catch me, it will be a lie."
Ms. Nannick smiled and said: "I will help you prepare a good horse and let them stay up for a few weeks. After they relax, you can ride away a few days in advance and it will be fine."
He had other plans in mind, but Victor replied: "Thank you, Mammy."
…
Time flies like water, and more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye...
By the way, the food sold by Lame Anton is really not good!
Angouleme didn't understand why there was such a difference between the same roasted basil chicken? The one made by the group leader has crispy skin and tender meat. Although the one made by the hotel looks similar at first glance, you will know that it is completely different when you taste it.
Although she was happy to let herself go, she missed the leader a little. Although the leader would ask Kathleen to give various instructions every other day, such as purchasing things or giving instructions on reading, life seemed to be boring without the venomous remarks in person. It's missing some flavor.
As she grew up in reading, she now knew that the direct assassination was not appropriate. The most important thing was that she was not even sure of the opponent's strength. What if there was another one as good as Iorveth?
Taking a hundred steps back, as long as he can fight like Toluvel and can fight back and forth for a period of time, he will be surrounded by support.
So her new suggestion this time was to use traps. The bear traps that were so successful in jungle pursuits, Xi Lang even asked her privately why the trap hit rate was so high. It's a pity that she doesn't know either.
However, she knew that Victor didn't spend much time on the arrangement, and Thales obviously hated the witcher apprentice. He would personally go to the forest every few days to confirm that the leader was still in the temple and had not left the temple, and whether there was enough manpower for the arrangement. slack off.
So just arrange it for him in the jungle, wait for him to step on the trap, and clamp it on both sides to ensure that Taylor's feet will happily "jump", and then go out to harvest by yourself, relaxed and happy!
The key point is that the only one who takes action is Angouleme. Corleone, everyone in the temple can prove that the matter has nothing to do with the leader, this plan is perfect!
The good feeling lasted until the girl confidently opened the letter from Kathleen, and then her face fell with pride──
"This plan is good, but unfortunately it has a fatal flaw. The trap is induced through smell, which will dissipate quickly in the natural environment. In other words, there is a time limit. It is not the last time where we were chased very tightly. It will take a long time. Arrangement impossible.
And then at that point, you can stop thinking about that person and he will soon cease to be a problem.
Have you read the book list I gave you last time? Seize the time to read more and study more. I have high expectations for you, don't let me down.
Your leader Victor. Corleone"
