Witcher's Atelier

Slums - every city has such a place, narrow and crowded, filthy and dirty, precipitating the dregs of the entire city and condensing the sadness behind the prosperity.

Victor Corleone has never been here. He knows this place, but he will not come here on his own initiative, because there are too many tragedies here, and there are pictures or sounds that make him uncomfortable at every moment, and he can't handle it no matter how capable he is.

As the night fell, carefully avoiding several pools of unknown liquids and ignoring the sounds of quarrels and curses around him, the boy reviewed everything he knew about the Viper School in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened to the giant man, his name should be "Reso", one of the few strong men in the Viper School.

Victor had an impression of his appearance, a very domineering bald head, deep and exaggerated facial features, and strong and solid like a granite boulder. He remembered that when playing games, he and White Wolf seemed to have known each other for a long time. When they met, there was a cloudy conversation, telling about their friendship as both enemies and friends.

Moreover, in the later stage of the big scene of the Kaermohen decisive battle, he can also participate in the battle and become a comrade-in-arms. The detailed reasons and process are no longer available due to the long time, and there is nothing that can be done about the vague memory. The plot of a sturdy man is not worth wasting too much brain memory to remember.

However, Reso is a good man and it is certain that he is worthy of being a friend. The impression left by this past life is the reason why Victor now chooses to trust and come directly to see them. Although they can appear in time, it is full of strangeness.

Looking back on the whole thing, through Oaks's big mouth, the thread of their shining appearance is clear. A month ago, he found himself in the Vizima Cemetery. According to the witcher, this matter was an accident.

Then the "Wolf School" is worthy of being a bomb expert. The "Dancing Star" made him very surprised, although it was actually the effect of incredible alchemy.

The next month passed, and the three witchers of the Viper School gathered in Vizima to help get rid of the vampire girl in time...

... They can't admit that they saved themselves from the monster, not only because they were sure to get out safely at that time, but also because they easily admitted that the "life-saving grace" might have sequelae.

Demon hunters have always been paid services. The price of saving a life and helping to exorcise demons is very different. Helping to exorcise demons can be solved by paying money, but saving a life may be required to be paid by the "Law of Accidents".

In addition, they were able to arrive in time, which obviously showed that they had paid a certain degree of attention or surveillance on themselves. What is there about a wolf school apprentice that is worthy of the covetousness of other schools of formal demon hunters? No matter how you think about it, there is only one answer...

Thinking of this... Victor saw Oaks' cheerful smile and waving his right hand. He obviously came out specially to wait for the demon hunter apprentice.

"Ah! I won, I knew you would come tonight!" His tone was still so frivolous and joyful.

After meeting up with the witcher, the boy followed his footsteps, "What's going on? Are you still betting on when I will come?"

Ox said happily: "Yes, Serrit said that you are very scheming. If we suddenly jump out to help, we may not be able to win your favor. Instead, we will probably be on guard against us. Maybe we will come in the end, but we will at least think about it for a day or two, and even bring a lot of fully armed "friends" with us."

Victor felt a little hot on his face when he heard this, because he knew that if it wasn't for the spoilers across the world line that made him choose to trust these three people, Serrit was right, he would really consider the meeting carefully, and even bring some friends nearby to support.

"Of course I won't accept it. You can't always think of people as bad. I think you're pretty good. Although you're still an apprentice, you've already started to harvest monsters like an old farmer. You've done a great job harvesting water ghosts and giant thorn trees. If I hadn't confirmed that your pupils hadn't mutated, I would have almost thought you were already a formal witcher."

Victor remained silent. He was another person who was moved by his own "enlightenment". In the Middle Ages, noble virtues could be realized, and others would rationalize everything you did.

"Then we made a bet, twenty orens. I said you would come tonight, and by yourself, and you really didn't let me down..."

Victor still didn't speak. He felt that Oaks didn't need his response. He just wanted to move his mouth.

The boy quickly walked through the streets and alleys. He stopped and saw the granite-like sturdy back again by a campfire by the Vizima Lake.

Ox tilted his head and pointed at the campfire, motioning Victor to go over by himself, then turned around and stayed where he was on guard.

The experience of living together in Kaer Morhen made the boy confident in the witcher's keen senses. He was sure that the back figure knew he was coming. But he still didn't walk directly from behind. The witcher apprentice deliberately made a small detour and approached the campfire from the front of the giant. This was a sign of respect and also gave himself enough time to observe before the conversation.

The other person who was eating grilled fish by the fire, Serrit, who always kept a cold face, noticed him approaching, stood up and nodded to Victor, then left quietly without saying a word, leaving the conversation space for the giant and the boy.

He sat by the campfire like a hibernating bear, looking up at Victor, like a tiger waking up, "Please sit down, it seems that Oaks won."

Victor accepted the invitation generously and sat down cross-legged. He took off the sword and placed it on his right hand. "Yes, Oaks won."

The giant leaned forward and stretched out his big hand to Victor, "Reso, from Guleta, a witcher of the Viper School."

──It's you, Reso..., long time no see.

Reaching out and holding his hand, "Victor Corleone, from Bell Town east of Zerecania, apprentice of Wolf School witcher."

Reso chuckled twice, "This is a good start, an honest start. Now we take turns asking questions and let each other answer their doubts. You start asking first!"

Stirring the campfire, the giant picked up a string of grilled fish and handed it to the boy.

Taking the grilled fish, Victor sorted out the information he knew and wanted to express in his mind, and said calmly and steadily: "First of all, thank you, thank you for arriving in time to help solve the vampire girl." The boy defined the value of the three of them appearing today in the first sentence - not saving a life, but helping a hand.

Reso's strong and deep face was as unmoved as a rock.

"My question is, I concealed my school of origin in Vizima, how did you know? And you were able to arrive in time, which means you are paying attention to me, what is the reason?"

The evening breeze blew over the campfire, crackling.

"We can arrive in time to help you deal with the vampire girl because..." Reso's words mean that he approves the boy's offer for the appearance fee of the three witchers.

According to the witcher's code, hunting monsters is a paid service. It may not be considered a life-saving favor, but Victor must be grateful.
