Witcher's Atelier

If someone had told the boy a month ago that he would live in Vergen for a long time, Victor would have loudly scolded him for talking nonsense. However, coupled with the week of being in a coma, before he knew it, he had lived for a month, which was enough to recover. Three weeks.

He still slept at Angouleme's house. When he received the first batch of payment, he wanted to move out, but gave up after being yelled at by the girl.

During the period of recuperation, he resumed the habit of morning jogging. After breakfast every day, he jogged around the mountain town of Vergen, drank a large jug of milk after running, and then sparred with Angouleme, which was a good recovery training.

Although the girl has not received systematic training in swordsmanship, she has wild intuition and rich combat experience. It can only be said that she is a militant who can fight with Geralt in Thousand Miles to Seek Women and fight with mercenaries. Victor can fight from I learned a lot of nutrients from it──in fact, I just couldn’t beat her.

As for her past story, Victor settled it with a few bottles of wine on the third day of their relationship. Of course, this was also related to the fact that she had no intention of hiding it.

The summary is that the illegitimate daughter of a Cintra noble was sent to a farm for foster care. When Nilfgaard called, she was sent to a temple, but that temple was a children's technical college, and her business was even poor because of her age.

After being abused at the age of 15, he rose up and burned down the academy with his friends, chopped down the old bustard and fell grass, and formed a Hanseatic alliance with the bandits. Until he was arrested by the Nilfgaardians at the age of 17 and was about to be executed, he was saved from the gallows by Geralt due to fate. , and then return to your heart...

It is indeed a story that makes people feel bad once they hear it.

In short, for her, her family, her sense of belonging, and her sense of security are all Hansa... Of course it should be called the Phantom Troupe now.

When she first heard the story, Victor felt a little regretful. The first operation of the brigade in which she had entrusted so many things was to sell aphrodisiacs, which seemed to be a bit of a loss of status.

However, Angoulan himself didn't feel anything. After sparring every day, he happily went to the herbal shop under the banner of the brigade to make purchases. That's right, when she goes to deliver goods, she always calls herself Angouleme of the Phantom Troupe. Corleone, lest others don't know.

Afternoon is the time for reading, and members of the brigade must not be devoid of knowledge. Victor took out his identity as the leader and declared that this was the new rule of the brigade. If he did not comply, he would leave the group. He relied on this powerful weapon to suppress Angouleme's backlash. Ye ㄚ The head can only admit defeat.

In the evening, it was time to drink. Sixty percent of the population in Vergen were non-humans, and more than fifty percent were dwarves. With Zoltan’s guarantee and introduction, Angouleme, who had been living there for half a year, and his generous money-spending style, Vic Dora quickly became one of the tavern's most popular characters.

However, he never gets drunk. He must go home before nine o'clock every night. After mixing the products, he drinks a cup of hot milk, does soft exercises for half an hour, and sleeps for six hours.

The life of a rich man who sells aphrodisiacs is so simple and unpretentious.

A month has passed, and time flies.

…

Late April, night, living room of Angoulême house.

"Is this really for me!?" The girl stared with round brown eyes, and her eyebrows were beating vividly. In front of her was a set of brand new leather armor inlaid with iron plates, and a Mahakam steel sword. .

She picked up the sword without hesitation and took a closer look. It was as sharp as a razor, more than three feet long, and weighed no more than two pounds. The twelve-inch long sword hilt is wrapped with strips of lizard skin. The matching scabbard is a plain scabbard with no decorations on it. The scabbard mouth and guard ring are made of black steel. The overall production is very elegant.

"This sword looks very powerful!" Angoulin turned to look at Victor with a smile on his face.

"Hmph! Swords," Zoltan interjected, "are used for cutting, not for looking at. You can't judge based on the first impression alone. The point is, your sword is a typical refined alloy, containing Graphite and borax…”

Angoulin glared at Zoltan and made a face: "Shut up, of course my captain will get the best for me. I know it without you saying it!" After saying that, she hugged Vic happily. Duo, bent down and kissed Zoltan on the cheek, happily picked up the sword and armor and went back to the room to continue preparing his luggage.

Tomorrow, the Phantom Troupe will leave this city and continue their journey to Vizima, the capital of Temeria. With Victor's character, of course, they must equip themselves with the best equipment possible in Vergen, a place where goods from the north and south are concentrated.

Compared with Angulain, in addition to the Mahakam steel sword from the dwarf's hometown and the tailor-made leather-inlaid iron plate armor, he also made one more thing, a silver sword with a silver-plated blade.

The sword was born out of a conversation Lambert had before he left.

…

"This...this wolf sect badge?...is it for me?"

"Yes, Vesemir asked me to give it to you, saying that if you can't become a mage, you will want to be a witcher. Because you are very persistent in having your own extraordinary power, I must say that the old man can still judge people accurately. ”

"But I haven't experienced the mutation yet..."

"If the old man says it's okay, that's fine. Anyway... there aren't many people left in the Wolf School... You know, our entire group is disappearing. Even so, are you willing to accept it?"

"A badge that can detect magical power and monsters. I've wanted this for a long time."

"You still have to pay attention to yourself. You cannot rely entirely on this. The badge is not omnipotent. For some hidden magic or advanced monsters, such as vampires, the badge cannot detect them.

Hey! what you do? Don't hug me, I'm not interested in men! "

"You know, I'm very grateful to you for accompanying me here and everything that happened along the way. Although you are an old bastard, you are also a good friend. I'm sorry that I can't do anything for you yet."

"You're welcome. You can thank me with a bag full of crowns! I know you have one."

"So easy? Then I believe these two bags of crowns can make you give me a hug!"

"Live well. When I'm done with my business, will I go to Vizima to find you?"

"No, we rarely see Kaermor."

...

The next day, at the ferry outside Vergen, Victor asked Angouleme to board the ship first and stood at the dock to say goodbye to Zoltan. The first stop of their Vizile journey was to take a boat to the floating harbor at the gateway of Pontar Valley.

Before boarding the ship, the dwarf warrior said he had something to say to the boy, leaving Victor alone.

Although he hadn't spoken yet, the boy could vaguely guess what he wanted to say.

Zoltan waved to Angouleme, who had boarded the ship first, from a distance, and said with his mouth covered by his lush beard: "I don't like you very much... since the third day you woke up."

Hearing this, Victor raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Zoltan continued to speak without giving him a chance to interrupt. "The reason I don't like you is very simple. You are too deep-minded. People can't guess what you are thinking. I don't trust you.

The advantage of having a complicated mind is that you can protect Angouleme. The disadvantage is that the girl may be killed by you unknowingly. Even though it seems that you are good to her now...

I know why she has chosen you. This is her choice. I can't stop her from going with you, but I can tell you my worries."

After that, he turned to Victor, "Now, Victor Corleone from Bell Town, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, Ciri's brother, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zoltan's eyes, in the end, are still lack of trust, Victor thought.

Vesemir is Ciri's full guarantee and the trust built by getting along for more than half a year, while Lambert and Eskar are Vesemir and Ciri's joint guarantee and a whole winter of getting along.

But Zoltan's place doesn't work. The two were originally strangers, and the only credentials were the Wolf Clan badge. The badge can let him help with treatment and business, but it is not enough for him to feel at ease to take Angouleme away by himself.

I also made a mistake. Because of my preconceived good impression and familiarity with Zoltan, I didn't hide my edge too much. I didn't expect that in the eyes of the other party, he became complicated and not like a teenager.

However, Victor didn't feel guilty about Zoltan's showdown. Anyway, time will prove himself.

The boy turned his head to look at Angouleme on the deck. She was climbing up the mast like a monkey and looking into the distance. "Zoltan, do you believe in fate?" His voice was quiet and far-reaching. "I don't believe it, I don't believe in fate, but fate waved to me and brought a miracle."

Victor looked down at Zoltan, "I can't explain the reason to you in detail, but to me, Angouleme is very important. She is the starting point of my interaction with the world and the proof that I can change the world.

I will try my best to protect her."
