Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 486: There are many strange things in the castle



At the edge of the civilized world, the home of wolf-faction witchers, Kaermerhen in the depths of the Blue Mountains, is an ancient sea fortress built on the mountain.

Surrounded by a moat that is heated by geothermal heat and does not freeze in winter, the thick walls built of white stone, plus the iron chain suspension bridge and solid city gates, the complete fortifications are difficult to attack.

There is also a deep well in the courtyard to supply water, so that the garrison can withstand long-term sieges. The wide battlements on the outer wall are equipped with city defense weapons-two crossbow carts that cross-fire at the invading enemies, which is enough to easily crush the attack of a small number of troops.

Standing in front of the main castle gate and looking out, the multi-level tough and complex structure, with the dazzling blue sky and the dazzling white snow-capped mountains, reflects each other, with a fantasy and unreal beauty.

And turning around and walking into the main hall, echoing the magnificent appearance, its connotation did not disappoint: the fire was blazing, the square table and benches were decorated with a variety of furnishings, and the cabinets and wine racks were complete, perfectly combining simplicity with comfort and convenience.

The mural on the wall depicts a witcher holding a sword, riding a white horse and fighting against a green dragon with a chicken head - "Witcher George Slays the Dragon". The ancient history is magnificent.

Such Kaer Morhen is beyond the expectations of all "visitors". There is no desolation and ruin as rumored, it is completely in its glorious era!

... Visitors? ? ?

Yes, there are several people who are not wolf-faction witchers visiting Kaer Morhen now, they are the sorceress Yennefer of Fangerborg; the kingslayer Reso of Guleta; and Keira Metz of Carrias.

According to the inviters, Yennefer is Geralt's friend, Keira is Victor's acquaintance, and Reso is a partner recognized by both the "White Wolf" and the "Dragonborn".

It happened that Lambert, Leo and Eskar all returned in the autumn to prepare for the winter this year, and the fortress suddenly became unusually lively, forming a complex social circle around the three guests.

First, let's talk about Letho of "The Tower". The other two guests have mixed feelings about this master of the Snake Sect.

Yennefer owes him a favor. When she lost her memory in the past, it was the Snake Sect witcher who protected her; Keira hates this big guy, the Kingslayer, who ruined her happy and enjoyable life.

The Wolf Sect witchers, on the surface, do not appreciate this person who breaks the "commandments". To be honest, the impact caused by the Snake Sect last year was worse than that of the Cat Sect, which was a killer.

But in fact, for the sake of the White Wolf and the Dragonborn, Vesemir allowed him to live in the "The Tower" where the witchers lived. Lambert and Eskar would drink and chat with Letho from time to time, sharing each other's martial arts biographies.

Especially Leo, a young man from the Cat Sect, doesn't care about the "commandments" at all. They are all from the south and have no deep feelings for the northern countries. They often bring prey to him for barbecue, and practice swordsmanship after eating.

In summary, the relationship between the Viper School and the Wolf School is moving from cautious contact to stable communication.

Next, let's talk about Yennefer of Fangerberg.

After returning to Kaer Morhen with Geralt, the sorceress did not take long to easily win the disgust of everyone except Geralt with her self-centered style of behavior. Even Keira, who is also a sorceress, was unwilling to share her residence with her.

She lived alone in the guest room of the "East Tower" to study how to remove the curse of "Uma". Triss Merigold once lived here, and some wizard research facilities were left here.

After reaching a conclusion, she used an imperative tone to assign other witchers except Vesemir and Letho to collect several materials for the "Green Herb Potion".

Although they didn't like Yennefer, they couldn't afford to offend the sorceress, and they understood the helplessness in Geralt's eyes. Lambert and Eskar chose to dawdle after leaving the castle, while Leo stayed with Letho all day.

Out of entanglement, Yennefer would not bother Reso, and out of pride, she would not take the initiative to ask Keira for help.

After talking about the first two more important characters, let's talk about Keira. Metz.

The petite sorceress from Carrias should be the best among the three guests.

Because with the letter of introduction, she moved directly into Victor's exclusive "North Tower" when she arrived at the fortress, and could use his alchemy room and sleep in his double bed.

Speaking of beds, by the way, Victor's bed is big and comfortable, ranking first in Kaer Morhen!

Originally it was ranked second, but the previous first place "Four-pillar solid wood European country elevated double curtain bed. Shadow" was thrown out of the tower and smashed to pieces not long ago.

The motive of the murderer, Yennefer, was that when Triss lived in Kaer Morhen the year before, she and Geralt had a romantic relationship and had repeatedly performed incestuous behaviors on it that were not for the purpose of procreation.

She refused to sleep in a bed that other women had slept in, even if the other party was her best friend.

──After talking about the bed, let's get back to the topic.

Since the two topics that Keira is researching, whether it is the "secondary mutation" of the witcher or the vaccine for the "Catriona Plague", are very meaningful projects, and the man behind her provides strong support, no one in Kaer Morhen will want to provoke her. If she needs any alchemical materials, the witchers are also willing to enthusiastically arrange it, making her life in the castle leisurely and comfortable.

But because of this, although Keira really wants to make Letho suffer, she can only think about it and must consider her image.

Just like now, although she has long wanted to pour the brass knuckles on the face of the guy in front of her, for Victor's sake, Keira still has to listen to the other party's words before she can start to curse!

"*m&u︿j$x-%+!~ (a long list of obscene words that ladies will blush when they hear)!

Old bastard with white hair! Listen to me, don't talk about knowledge sharing, you are just robbing!

Do you know that data is valuable? Haven't you heard of intellectual property rights? Victor and I worked for several months to come up with an experimental model for the herbal potion. Why should we share the research results with Yennefer! Just because you are so shameless?

Yennefer doesn't even dare to make such a request, but you come to me and talk nonsense about sharing? Why don't you ask Yennefer and Triss to share a man and see if they are willing? "

After a scolding, even with Geralt's century of experience, he felt a little depressed. When he was about to leave the room, Keira's voice suddenly dropped.

"Don't take it personally... Geralt, I just scolded Yennefer. I know she didn't want to speak, so I pushed you over.

In fact... I understand your desire to find Ciri as soon as possible. But haste makes waste. Why don't you wait for Victor to come back?

I believe that even if Yennefer is an outsider and therefore does not know, as a member of the Wolf Faction Witcher, you must have noticed that he has some kind of "incredible" talent in alchemy, and he will definitely be able to remove the curse that Uma has endured.

In fact, there is no need to try rashly. "

Nodding to thank her for her kind words, the White Wolf's face was full of helplessness.

It can only be said that he also wants to wait for Victor to return and solve it without fail, but there is a female sorceress who also thinks that her method is foolproof, "I know it's a bit too much, but Keira, can you help me for Victor's sake. Yennefer is very sure that through the transformation of the herbal potion and the spell, she can restore Uma's twisted body..."

The voice gradually became smaller, and it was obvious that he was a little embarrassed.

At this point, the petite sorceress held her chin with one hand and squinted her eyes. She knew that although Yennefer was arrogant, she would not joke with her daughter. And considering the friendship between the Dragonborn and the White Wolf, and the degree to which Victor valued Ciri, if she insisted on stopping him, she might be a villain...

Smoothing her blond hair, the little man shook his head, "Okay, since you are sure, I believe that Victor will not mind the data leaking to help Ciri.

However, according to the rules of the witcher, nothing can be free.

So... you have to be a guinea pig for an experiment!

At three o'clock tomorrow morning, you and Vesemir will come to the North Tower. Only the master is allowed to accompany you. I will try to perform a "secondary mutation" on you.

Don't be horrified! Although the experimental data is not complete, you are chosen for safety and reliability, and there is a reason. "

Facing Geralt's tangled expression, Keira raised an index finger and shook it left and right.

"Our familiar and beloved prophet Victor once predicted that if there is anyone else in the world who is destined to undergo secondary mutation besides him, it must be the White Wolf. Geralt of Rivia.

This was a time when he was extremely relaxed and accidentally let it slip. The certainty in his tone convinced me that he must have foreseen your successful future.

Since it is destined to succeed, is there a better experimental subject than you?

Don't hesitate. Think about the power of secondary mutation. You have also seen Victor's unparalleled attainments in the seal, and he can even face Yennefer and challenge her.

Don't you want to be tougher when facing her? Or add a bargaining chip to help Ciri? "

After speaking, Keira showed a confident smile, because she knew that this was an offer that the White Wolf could not refuse.
