Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 55: The friendship between gentlemen is as plain as water



The negotiation process went unexpectedly smoothly. The boy had never thought that Lansmeet would be such a reasonable person beforehand, which resulted in many of the conditions he had prepared not being used at all.

It was not until he walked down the stairs and saw Angouleme, who was holding several bags of money he had won and smiling from ear to ear, that Victor felt that the matter was settled.

The person who was talking to the girl in front of her was the Rose Knight Siegfried. The boy went up to the boss Griffin and asked for a small glass of cherry wine, then took the iron-studded leather armor from Angouleme and began to put it on.

Seeing Victor wearing armor, the knight couldn't help laughing, "Please, this is Vizima, and it's night time, there are no enemies that you need to be on guard like this."

The boy kept smiling without stopping: "I have to thank someone for this habit. The last time I went out without armor, he taught me a lesson I will never forget."

Siegfried didn't know what he was talking about, so he could only shake his head, "Whatever you want!"

At this time, Angouleme interrupted with a smile on her face, "Hey, Wick, look, we won so much money!" She stacked the money bags one by one and put them in front of the boy.

"Why don't you put the money away quickly? Are you leaving it outside for others to rob it?" Seeing that the wild girl's gums were exposed when she laughed, she must have bet more than a hundred orens.

The girl said with a smile: "Don't worry, with the Rose Knight here, no bad guy will be so blind as to rob us. I just told him that he will send us back today."

Raising his eyebrows, Victor looked at Siegfried, "Will it be too much trouble for you?"

The knight raised his bulging purse and shook it, "Haha, it's okay, thanks to you, I also made a lot of money today, just as a service to the citizens."

The boy picked up the cherry wine and drank it in one gulp, "Then let's go, I've finished my work here."

The tavern owner habitually crossed his arms and smiled: "Are you leaving now? I thought you would want to stay and experience the charm of "Desire Thighs". There were many beautiful girls leaving messages just now, waiting for you across the street!"

Walking out of the Hairy Bear Hotel, "Desire Thighs" is across the street.

Victor smiled and responded: "Next time! Definitely next time!"

After tying up several purses and putting them into leather bags, the Phantom Troupe and the Rose Knight, a somewhat strange trio, left the tavern together.

There is no curfew until after 10 o'clock in Vizima, so although there are not many pedestrians on the streets at night, the three people chatting will not seem abrupt.

Their conversation was accompanied by laughter, and Victor sighed that some people in this world are really born to be likable. They have a sincerity from the heart that is different from his own meticulous craftsmanship and reservations after experience.

Siegfried's sincerity is not stupid, because he does not need to be too shrewd. This talent for getting along with people is somewhat similar to Angouleme, but the girl is stronger. She can even blend in with dwarves or elves without any sense of disobedience.

"Hey, I'm talking about Wick," yes, the knight has already called the nickname "Wick", it's so natural. "What work do you have recently?"

The boy was about to speak, and the girl answered first: "Bloodthirsty plants, we will go to the swamp forest in the south to deal with bloodthirsty plants in the next few days."

"Okay," Siegfried knocked his palm with his right fist. "Things like the giant thorn demon tree are not easy to deal with. It's great to have an expert to solve it... But you have to be careful when you move around there. There are squirrel party nearby, and their attacks are unreasonable."

Taking advantage of the knight's mention of the squirrel party, Victor asked casually: "I have heard the public speeches of the Knights from afar. Your 'Knight Master' seems to hate non-human races and hate the squirrel party. Do you also?"

Siegfried replied with a natural expression and a relaxed tone: "Ha! You must not have heard the whole thing to have such a misunderstanding. The leader does not hate non-human races. He has no prejudice against non-human races. He is blaming the squirrel party.

And as the 'Knight Master' said, I I also think that the Scoia'tael is a group of harmful parasites. Without them sabotaging behind the scenes, Nilfgaard would not have been so rampant in the war.

I believe that many people are like me and feel sympathy for the unfair treatment currently suffered by non-human races, but the Scoia'tael is using murder, robbery, sabotage of transportation, etc. to quickly consume this goodwill.

Although there are good and bad people in any group, from what I have seen, the actions of the Scoia'tael are unbearable to look at. "

When her leader began to talk to others at length, Angouleme kept quiet as usual. That was Wick's duty, and she had her duties. For example, now she had a subtle premonition.

"Well... Speaking of which, what kind of person is Jacques of Aldeburg... Why can he become the leader of the Flaming Rose Knights? "

The Rose Knight was happy to answer this question. He believed that he had an obligation to let more people understand the leader's character and gain more support for the Eternal Flame.

"Lord Jaques was originally a wandering knight. His appearance was a great miracle to many people in the Knights.

A few months ago, a serious internal conflict broke out in the White Rose Knights. The previous generation of 'Knight Master' was caught in a dishonorable scandal and had to resign.

We knights lost our faith and goals because of this. We thought we were loyal to the king, but in fact, many of the actions of the Knights' top leaders were deceiving the king.

At this time Lord Jaques appeared. Have you heard of the Islin prophecy? It was the prophecy of the wolf and the blizzard, when he allowed many people in the Knights to see the end of the hoarfrost!

After witnessing the miserable future of the end of the world, the Knights regained their faith. We will become a force that warms the world and continue the flame of civilization. What we do is just. "

"Well, do you really believe they saw the hoarfrost coming?"

"I don't know, I didn't witness it with my own eyes, but in Lord Jaques's words, I can feel his urgency, his efforts, and his firm will, so we gathered around him again and reorganized into the Knights of the Flaming Rose. group."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! What an incredible legend. A wandering knight appeared in front of the disintegrated knights. With one call, he won everyone's approval, and quickly integrated the White Rose on the verge of collapse into a new, bright Flame Rose. It was simply a mere Epic tales told by bards..."

"Hey! Victor, I respect you, and you have to respect me. I heard a hint of sarcasm in your words. I hope this is my illusion."

"Okay, I apologize. The education in Bell Town has made me always mean and mean about unknown things." Victor apologized, stroking his chest as he spoke.

"I forgive your offense, because the prophet Lebioda said: We also need forgiveness from others. We must help each other and overcome all difficulties together." Siegfried waved his hand generously and said it was okay. "After you finish dealing with the giant thorn demon tree, I have another commission for you.

In addition, I hope you can meet the leader if you have the chance. He is the most honest person I have ever met. I believe that meeting him will make you change your mind and forget those unnecessary doubts. "

Victor nodded in agreement, and then stopped. This is the closest place to the Knights headquarters, just right where he can leave separately from the Rose Knight.

He said a few words to Siegfried, which seemed to be a farewell. Angouleme's expression did not change, while the knight's face showed a little confusion at first, and then nodded and left.
