Witcher's Atelier

Victor and Shani had a very fulfilling lunch chat. She is a dynamic, open-minded and caring doctor.

The two, who were both carrying herbal bags, exchanged names and easily found a common topic - the Catriona plague that was happening in front of them.

After sharing many plague symptoms and treatment experiences, the doctor politely told the witcher apprentice that the purpose of going out of the city to collect herbs in the morning had been achieved. After lunch, she would go back to the hospital to continue working hard.

Without being reluctant, the boy got up and politely escorted her to a place not far from the city gate, and then said goodbye and left.

Although Dr. Shani was one of the few special people who could enter and exit the city gate at will, Victor did not mean to ask her for help, because no matter how well they talked, it was just their first meeting after all.

However, just knowing the female doctor was enough to make Victor happy. Facing her was like meeting a favorite star by chance while shopping.

"Ah! This is Miss Shani, who had many sincere love scenes with Geralt in the game. Although they didn't end up together, the process was really romantic!

I still remember that every time I played Geralt, I broke up with her with a little melancholy, and then turned to Triss or Yennefer to make a vow of eternal love.

Alas... Geralt is such a sinful man.

By the way, Meritelly, Shani has a great figure!"

With a smile on his face, he replayed the pictures of the two people's conversation in his mind. Suddenly, Victor felt that there seemed to be a subtle incoordination.

It was like watching square dancing from a high place. When thousands of people turned right enthusiastically, one person turned left abruptly.

But thinking back carefully, this sense of incoordination was ethereal and I didn't know where it came from. I thought about it and couldn't find an answer. In the end, I could only let it go temporarily.

…

Late at night, after the patrol guards passed by, Victor followed the Salamanders' gang member "Red Dog" into the cold moat on a summer night, climbed up the fence that seemed intact but was actually sawed open, and entered the spacious and smelly sewers of Vizima.

Speaking of spaciousness, the elves built a spacious room that can accommodate five people in parallel, and speaking of stench, the smell that gathers the essence of the citizens in one place is strong and powerful.

The entire sewer project is buried deep underground, densely covered like a spider web maze. Without a familiar person to lead the way, it is easy to get lost for the first time. Thinking of the possible existence of rotten demons or kikimos in the sewers, the boy did not even dare to apply nasal congestion ointment, because their strong and unique smell is the best warning.

Resisting the sourness of his nose, he followed Red Dog silently while reflecting on the gains and losses of today's series of actions.

…

At noon in the tavern kitchen, when Old Cold Legs mentioned that he would use enough dedication to prove his piety to the priest, Victor intuitively thought that it was a problem that could be solved by "arcane" shock.

Unfortunately, he was slapped in the face by the priest of the Eternal Fire.

The Church of the Eternal Flame, founded in the free city of Novigrad several centuries ago, is mainly symbolized by the ever-burning flame that symbolizes hope. In recent years, it has gradually become a mainstream religion with a strong influence in all northern countries.

Its worshippers believe that the eternal flame is a symbol of survival, a guide through darkness, and a harbinger of a better tomorrow. Therefore, in the temple of the Eternal Flame, the blazing flame never goes out.

However, in Victor's view, this is a quasi-cult, because they do not have a complete ideological theory, only fragmented ritual slogans, and the most notable feature is that you cannot quit after joining the church, and they do not accept believers leaving.

The result of not taking other people's beliefs seriously is to be slapped in the face by a devout priest. The other party does not want money at all, but wants the teenager to join the Eternal Flame and carry out a series of trial tasks to prove his piety.

For example, lighting five outdoor bonfires of faith at night, and gaining the trust of three respectable villagers.

Touching his nose, Victor, who found that he had made a mistake of insufficient intelligence, left immediately and went back to the tavern to start over. Oren opened the way and asked about the intelligence around the entire suburbs clearly.

This also led to a piece of important news that was hard to tell good from bad.

The White Rose Knights were disbanded and reorganized into the Flaming Rose Knights.

They had a new leader, Jacques of Aldeburg, a devout believer in the "Eternal Fire"; they had a new goal, which was to eliminate the monsters that appeared in Vizima and the surrounding areas, and to protect human residents from the threat of non-human races.

From the new goal, it can be seen that the new leader Jacques is a "great humanist". He ordered his knights to deal with the Scoia'tael as if they were monsters, and attributed all the disasters and sufferings encountered by humans to the invasion of non-human races.

This set of remarks is very popular among civilians, who like and need an object to blame for all their anger and dissatisfaction.

In short, the good news is that Morn's Falvik has lost a lot of available power, and the bad news is that the boy is very familiar with the name of the Flaming Rose Knights, who are the main force of future witch hunts in the north.

The only thing that puzzled Victor was why they appeared in Vizima to pledge allegiance to Foltest. In his memory, the Knights of the Flaming Rose should be the thugs of Radovid V...?

...

As for the so-called "merchants" who controlled the passage into the city, they were actually a criminal organization calling themselves the Salamanders. They ran many "businesses" that were considered evil, including the business of smuggling. They recently began to sell weapons into the forest to the Squirrel Party.

With enough intelligence, it was not difficult for Victor to communicate with them, and he did not use the steel sword that Old Cold Legs reminded him of. After the price was agreed, the guy named Red Dog in front of him led the way into the city.

As a guide, he was very competent, familiar with the route, and walked briskly. It was also quite hard to lead the way in the dark and smelly sewers, and the boy decided to give him an extra tip when they reached the destination.

Finally, after turning another corner, Red Dog led the boy up the long straight ladder, pushed open the unsealed manhole cover, and saw the starry sky again.

Recalling the last time I paid special attention to the constellations, it was when I was camping with Lambert. Now the Pegasus constellation is still hanging high, but the Winter Girl has disappeared.

"Hehe, mercenary, welcome to Vizima!" Red Dog, wearing a black water jacket and a black cloth on his face, spoke a little sharply, and it seemed that his voice had not changed yet.

Glancing at the fire lizard tattoo on his exposed arm, Victor replied in a rough voice: "Thank you." The boy also wrapped his face tightly, and he didn't want to be associated with the criminal organization at all.

He threw the cloak full of the smell of feces and urine into the sewer, and then threw it to the red dog Wu Oren as a tip, and he quickly disappeared in the narrow and winding alleys of the old city.

…

Later, people said:

"He came from the east and passed through the shepherd's gate.

He rode a gorgeous and majestic horse, and the wisdom in his eyes was as bright as the morning star.

He was the first and the last, and he was the one who passed on the fire."
