Chapter 215 Young people should drink less wine.
Vesemir's expression was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered. There is no such thing as "visiting relatives" as a demon hunter apprentice. Apprentices are not allowed to go down the mountain for decades after arriving at the base camp until they leave the army.
Although the Wolf Faction has now decided to move the sect to Cintra, Kaer Morhen has not been abandoned. Not to mention the unique ring of elements here, many supporting combat training venues, equipment, and even special mountain terrain are all indispensable for demon hunter training. Ciri's future training will still be conducted in Kaer Morhen. .
In Lann and Vesemir's original plan, the school's establishment in Cintra was more like a new headquarters, while Kaer Morhen was transformed into a base for logistics and apprenticeship training. The main members of the Wolf Faction will be stationed in Cintra, while the training teachers will train apprentices in Kaer Morhen - if new apprentices are added in the future - after the apprentices leave, Cintra will be their first stop. Start your own career as a witcher.
In short, Ciri's continued training at Kaer Morhen was necessary.
But Ciri is special after all, and since it was Lan who spoke now, and the reasons given were so impeccable, Vesemir naturally had no way to refuse.
The old demon hunter pretended to think for a while in the little girl's expectant eyes and smiled: "Okay then!"
Ciri immediately jumped up and hugged Vesemir, causing him to laugh. .
.........
As the night was getting darker, Yennefer left her seat after finishing her meal, and after giving Geralt a "come back soon" look, she drifted away.
Triss saw that the demon hunters seemed to have endless topics to talk about, so she quickly stood up and left her seat, taking Ciri away along the way, leaving the table to the men.
Although it was said that even if they didn't leave, everyone wouldn't be shy about their dirty words; but they still felt a lot more comfortable when they left the table at this time - at least that's what Geralt felt.
Vesemir was discussing the relocation of the school with Lan: "We estimate that it will take about half a month to arrive in Cintra. Many experimental equipment, weapons, medicines and other things need to be sorted out to see which ones are suitable to take away. Which ones are suitable to stay?"
The old demon hunter shook his head: "After all, the castle is too big, and there are too few of us - in fact, no one has been to places like the cellar and forge room for decades. Passed."
Lan nodded, expressing understanding. Then he suddenly said: "If that's the case, Kaer Morhen actually has a lot of treasures."
With Vesemir's expression of "Do you know Kaer Morhen better than me?", Lan En smiled and said: "You can understand that it is the precognition ability of the ancient blood that allowed me to see some scenes." "
Kaer Morhen was once attacked by a mob incited by a warlock, right? I want to say that I am sorry... but According to the scenes I saw, the wolf sect's demon hunters and resident mages during the riot hid the equipment blueprints that the sect was researching at the last moment. Maybe you can find it." After drinking the strong drink, he was all faceless
. Vesemir, who did not change his expression, suddenly turned red in the face: "School equipment blueprint?"
For the Wolf Faction, which can now be described as a "remnant party", a set of equipment blueprints is of great significance. Not only can it significantly improve combat effectiveness, but it also means the continuation of the school's inheritance.
Lann affirmed: "That's right, and if what I expected is good, it's still a complete set. Go take a look at several ruins around, you will gain something. But you may need a little magic help, because the station The warlocks used all their strength to make magic disguises at the last moment, and some of the undead souls of the school who are still dying may be able to give you hints..." After hearing this, Vesemir, who was originally happy,
calmed down little by little, and even showed signs of Disappointment: "I have always used the lack of manpower as the reason for not organizing the ruins... Actually, I didn't want to face the disaster. I didn't expect that everyone didn't give up at the last moment, and I..." Seeing the old demon
hunter With a look of disbelief, Mossack patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "And you have continued the school by yourself, Vesemir, and you will continue to do the same."
After learning the story of the Wolf Sect, the old German Rui really admired Vesemir, especially after his own recent experience of supporting Cintra, he even developed some sympathy for Vesemir who was pulling the school alone.
"If you need magic support, you can contact me at any time." The old druid said with a smile, "I will be able to relax a little bit after Visekid and our troops are united, and I can spend more time to devote to Go inside the magic."
Vesemir quickly adjusted his state and thanked Lan for giving him the news.
Lann smiled and said: "After you find the blueprints, you can bring them back to Cintra, and we will pay for them to be built for you. We happen to have a blacksmith and an enchanting mage." But this is not over yet
.
After giving the news about the equipment blueprint, Lan continued eloquently: "In addition, I also saw a group of demon hunters building equipment in the mines. Some of the high-end goods have not been taken away. You can Go and get them back together. But be careful that there are elemental beings guarding there, so it’s best to work together as a team. That should be during the period of the Demon Hunter Order, because I think Kaer Morhen Castle had not been completely built at that time... "
I also saw a witcher running around behind a mountain being chased by a goat-horned demon. He seemed to have a drawing of a sword and a lot of leftover equipment. There was you Vesemir in that scene, maybe. You can check it out, there are a lot of good things in the lair of the horned demon..." "
Oh, yes, I also saw a warlock building a greenhouse in a cave, but now due to the disorder of magic energy, that area It seems to have become an abnormal weather area with heavy rain. You can go explore it. The warlock should have left behind a way to restart the greenhouse, which is perfect for cultivating herbs..." ... The more
Vesemir
listened, the more It was dumbfounded.
Mossak was used to it. He was now particularly satisfied with the way others looked at Lan with such expressions and eyes. He picked up the wine glass with a smile: "Blood of the Ancients..." After a while,
Vesemir came back to his senses. Come, silently pick up the wine glass and greet Lan.
Lan was about to pick up the wine glass and return the favor, but suddenly found that it was empty.
A hand patted his shoulder. Lann looked up and found it was Lambert.
"No more wine?"
Lambert smiled evilly and took out two wine bottles and started mixing them into Lan En's wine glass. After a while, he handed it to Lan En.
"Try this, I call it 'Iron Glove', a mixture of strong liquor and white seagull. I learned it in a village that has no name at all." Lambert said with a smile, "Ladies, please leave. It's time to drink some man's wine!"
Lann took it without hesitation, greeted Vesemir and took a sip. He only felt a stream of flames flowing down his throat, followed by another large ball. The heat reaches the sky.
He shuddered suddenly and exhaled a breath of hot breath: "Enough!"
Lambert laughed proudly and mixed a cup for the other companions, which attracted a burst of praise.
You must know that White Seagull is the base wine used for alchemy. If it is blended with spirits, it will be more than just "strong enough". The atmosphere at the table immediately rose like the alcohol level.
"Vesemir, Lann, stop talking about business. Seeing the serious looks on your faces just now, I'm not even interested in drinking. Today we killed the old spearhead. It's time to celebrate desperately. Let those annoying people Let's leave everything behind!"
...
The Wolf Faction is about to move, even though the demon hunters say they have no feelings for this place. But now that they really have to change places, they can't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts. Looking at the masonry patterns around them that had been seen for decades or even close to a century, everyone gradually became more talkative.
We have basically finished talking about the matter with Vesemir, and now looking at the atmosphere around us, to be honest Lan is enjoying it a bit.
He had never been so relaxed. Even when I first arrived in Cintra, I was busy completing quests in the capital, accepting commissions, and honing my sword skills. Needless to say, after the fall of Cintra, it was really a fight from beginning to end. It is also interspersed with various heavy political tasks and commissions.
There were occasional breaks in between, but nothing as relaxing as today. Even in a tavern or a romantic place, he mostly drank restrainedly on one side and watched his attendants and soldiers making jokes; how could he be like today, sitting around the table freely with more than a dozen people of the same status? While drinking and chatting.
He liked this atmosphere and even recalled the feeling of playing games in his previous life.
"I want to share a story." Lane volunteered.
Among witchers, the only popular topics are hunting and women. If you combine the two, it will be more popular.
"I once received a commission when I was in Toussaint. I was not a witcher at that time, but Geralt was present." Lann looked at the white wolf, "There was a female night demon in that country, the Duchess. Promised us a large amount of money to 'remove harm for the people'. But guess what? Geralt - tell everyone the story behind!" The white wolf
also laughed wantonly: "Later, two knights found us and promised We had more money to let us ignore this matter, and also assured us that the female night devil was harmless and even beneficial to the stability of the country. In the end, they were kicked out by Lan." Everyone laughed suddenly
.
"Speaking of which, the female night demon actually appeared later and bumped into my attendants. Unfortunately, I didn't encounter it." After Lann returned, Ace and House also told Lann this. This incident happened when they found the grave of Thomas Moreu in the direction given by the Night Devil.
Eskar smacked his lips and suddenly asked: "Night Demon? Is she... still in Toussaint now?"
Lann shrugged: "Probably, there are few places like Toussaint that are suitable for their existence... …I think the knights there are a little restless, and fortunately Toussaint is a place far away from war." After
hearing this story, Lambert suddenly sat next to Geralt and patted his shoulder.
In Bai Lang's puzzled eyes, Lambert said: "Although you didn't complete this commission and get the money, at least you learned a good principle, right? For example..." "...
" ...Stay away from dangerous women."
The handsome demon hunter looked at the direction where Yennefer had just disappeared, and the meaning in his words was too lazy to hide.
Bai Lang's cheerful expression just now suddenly faded.
He put his shoulders back and shook off Lambert's hand: "You just don't want to let Yennefer go, right?"
Lambert waved his hand and said matter-of-factly: "Before I am willing to believe her - yes. With all due respect, Geralt, you are willing to go through fire and water for her, but she just throws you away like a tool." When a
witcher travels across the continent, he inevitably has to deal with spellcasters. The attitude of the arrogant warlocks towards demon hunters is not very good: they are either regarded as tools that come and go when called upon, or they are regarded as high-quality experimental materials.
Even Eskar nodded in agreement with Lambert's words: "Most sorceresses are like this. Yennefer obviously doesn't like us, why should we take the initiative to please her?" The brothers who share life and death set fire to the place where their fate is connected
. Bai Lang was so full of temper that he didn't know how to vent his lover. He could only drink to himself gloomily.
In the end, it was Vesemir who put a serious end to the topic: "Don't forget that Yennefer is here to help us, boys! Without her guidance, Ciri would be in danger!" Unable to control the rampant power in his body, it eventually led to tragedy.
In the original plot, only Geralt and Ciri returned to Kaer Morhen at the beginning. After discovering Ciri's talent for magic, Vesemir invited Triss, who had a friendship with her, to be Ciri's magic teacher; In the end, Triss found that her knowledge and ability were not enough to teach Ciri, so she asked White Wolf to seek help from her old friend, Yennefer.
Yes, Triss is different from Yennefer. She has already established a good relationship with the Wolf Faction and is familiar with Vesemir. Her popularity is rare among sorceresses and even among sorcerers.
But this relationship is limited to Vesemir, Eskar and Lambert even have a lot of opinions about Triss. Just like warlocks are prejudiced against witchers, they are also prejudiced against sorceresses, worried that they will steal Ciri back to the magic school. After all, in the early years of the mainland, there was also a legend about "witches stealing gifted children late at night".
Seeing the disdainful looks of his two companions, Geralt slammed the table angrily and said, "That's enough. Look at the love masters you look like. You have never been with a sorceress!"
Eskar shrugged. He shrugged: "White Wolf, that's the problem, except for you, none of us..."
His words stopped suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly looked in the direction of Lan. Not only him, but the entire wine table's eyes were focused on Lan.
The lion-eyed young man's hand holding the wine glass paused, wondering why the fire suddenly burned him.
"Don't act stupid, we all know what happened between you." Lambert jumped to sit next to Lan and patted him hard on the shoulder, "The way Merigold looks at you is like a human being." You can see it, let alone hide it from our eyes!"
"I said..." Lambert came closer to Lan and suddenly asked in a low voice, "You will be with Ciri in the future, right? From now on. You are a queen and a prince, or a king and a queen. In short, you are an official match, right?"
Lann nodded: "Yes."
"Then what about you and Merigold?" "
... "
Looking at the speechless Lan, Lambert's eyes became dangerous: "Only now do I think you are a noble. Such a bad habit..."
In the end, Vesemir came to the rescue for Lan.
He slammed the table: "That's the end of this topic. Don't you have enough money to spend on this outside?" "
Okay, okay." Lambert shrugged helplessly, "Let the handsome one go." The white wolf and the lion, they are already pouting with bad faces, I really can't stand it..." ... The
young
demon hunters were unwilling to speak, and Vesemir shook his head. This was the first time tonight that the three factions of wolves, snakes, and griffons got together in Kaer Morhen, and it might also be the last time. He didn't want to part ways on such bad terms.
"We have wine, meat, and companions. This shouldn't be an atmosphere like this, boys." Vesemir raised his glass, "Well, I propose to play a game, which I learned from Cowburg."
If you think about it carefully, Vesemir and Mrs. Minoru met at Cowburg. It seems that he had a lot of experiences during that time.
"A person makes a sentence starting with 'I have never...', followed by an incident. If anyone present has done this incident, drink a glass of wine, and then choose the next person from among the drinkers. "Vesemir smiled and said, "How about it, boys, do you want to participate?"
Lann suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu, and his intuition told him that if this continues, everyone at this table will die.
But Lambert was already excited: "Of course! I also played this game in Cowburg, I'll come first."
Vesemir made a "please" gesture.
After Lambert thought for a moment, he suddenly looked at Lan with a wicked smile: "I have never... slept with the Night Demon in Guangmu!"
He seemed to think that Lan was hiding some follow-up in Toussaint's previous story. This time I wanted to make Lann look bad.
However, Lan didn't move at all. Instead, a helpless toast came from Lambert's side.
Lambert looked back and saw Eskar and Vesemir both raising their glasses.
"What's wrong?" Eskar said confidently, "I like women with horns!"
Vesemir shook his head: "Don't ask anything, Lambert."
Lambert only felt that at this moment, he was more interested than letting Lan drink. Happy: "This is really... well hidden, Eskar, Vesemir!"
...
In the next round, we have to choose between Vesemir and Eskar. Vesemir shook his head and gave the opportunity to speak. It's Eskar.
The scar-faced witcher thought for a while and came up with an idea: "I have never... woken up after a drinking binge and found myself naked except for my underwear!" It turns out that
this sentence has a wide impact.
Vesemir, Geralt, Lambert, Cohen, and even the members of the Snake Faction all picked up the wine glasses.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lan's eyes, Cohen shrugged, "Drink a little more and indulge, I don't think it's anything particularly ridiculous." Indeed,
compared to the first Night Stalker incident, this sentence The lethality of words is relatively small.
But Lambert seemed to be showing off: "Then I have a follow-up. When I woke up, I found that the underwear I was wearing was not mine!" They had
no idea what he was so proud of, and everyone shook their heads and ignored him. After a period of negotiation, the right to speak in the next round was given to Geralt.
The white wolf thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "I have never...jumped out of a girl's window and escaped before dawn!" After Geralt
said this, he realized that he was too targeted - —The story of Mrs. Minoru and Vesemir is no longer a secret in the Wolf Faction.
When he turned around, he found Vesemir pouring himself another glass of wine with a depressed look on his face.
And surprisingly, Lambert was not far behind.
"Ha." Geralt was finally happy, "The person who can make you run away in a hurry must be a ruthless character!"
Lambert was no longer as excited as before, and there was a sense of loss in his words:
"No... he is mine. Friend, I just don’t want to hurt his feelings.”
The pure love warrior fell to the ground in response.
"Oh, you are such a 'good friend'."
Looking at the wolf faction that was about to start fighting again, Lan sighed: "Guys, why don't we stop here, otherwise it will be very awkward to get along with each other in the future. Come on..."
Snake Pie, who had already eaten several big melons, had no objections to the others.
But Lambert, still Lambert, still Lambert - refused to give up.
"One round, then the last round!" Lambert seemed to be drunk. "Let Vesemir come. He drank in every round before, but never spoke. He is also the proposer of this game. He Need compensation!"
Vesemir's face turned dark: "Thank you for thinking about me, Lambert."
Lan was really worried that the old demon hunter would crush the wine glass in his hand. He had already crushed himself tonight. Most of the image has been subverted. Initially, everyone thought that the most ridiculous person would be the famous White Wolf or the most cynical looking Lambert, but it turned out to be Vesemir who looked the most calm and even kind.
Should it be said that it is worthy of the tradition of the wolf sect?
However, alcohol may indeed have an effect. Vesemir was the person who drank the most tonight. At this moment, he blushed and accepted Lambert's proposal and started the final round of the game.
"I have never... had anything happen to a woman when I was unconscious!"
Lann's hand stiffened suddenly.
The memory was reversed, back to the time when he had not become a demon hunter. Brochlon that night, and the five hundred crowns.
There was no need to try to hide it, because Geralt was at the scene at the time, and the white wolf had already cast a playful look at him.
Lan sighed and picked up the wine glass. However, what surprised him was that the other hand beside him also made the same movement as him.
Look up - it's Mossak.
The old Druid stiffened his face and said, "Don't ask anything, Lan."
"...Okay."
