Witcher's Atelier

Saying goodbye to Siegfried, the Knight of Roses, Angoulaine and Victor continued walking home.

The young man asked: "How many do you feel?"

Angouleme: "...two...five...six...six, four in front and two in back."

Touching the "anti-prank amulet" that was burning in his arms, Victor once again thanked Banad's Bras for his enthusiastic recommendation. Although this thing looked like a funny toy when he bought it, it was really useful in preventing ambushes.

Not far ahead, you will enter a relatively narrow alley, which should be the best location for an ambush. Well...calculating the time, let Siegfried go back to the Knights to request reinforcements and it is time to set off.

The advantage of having fewer enemies is that you don’t have to think about who the enemy is. Now it seems that Count Falwick’s men are not stupid. After observing that instead of escaping from Vizima, they returned to the city, they considered the possibility of being counter-detected. , making a decisive decision to conduct an ambush and then leaving the city regardless of success or failure.

If the position were reversed, it would probably be the same if Victor was in charge of planning.

When the Phantom Troupe arrived in front of the ambush circle, Falvik's mercenaries were ready to attack, but unfortunately the prey stopped to talk, and after a few minutes, they suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Discovered! Take action immediately!" The leader hurriedly gave the order, and the four crossbows immediately aimed at the back of the brigade and fired.

However, at the same time as the machine sounded, the girl knocked down the boy. The two fell to the ground to avoid the fatal attack, then got up and continued running away.

It was estimated that they could still catch up, so the mercenaries dropped their crossbows and drew their swords to surround them. However, as they chased them, they realized something was wrong, because the two men who were supposed to block the retreat did not appear.

And when they stopped, they saw a face that froze their blood, with short blond hair and chiseled features - Siegfried of Danso, and several supporting knights he brought.

The six of them originally had wanted warrants on their bodies. It was because of Falvik's protection that they could live happily in the Morn area, and they could not normally appear in other places.

Once criminals like them are caught by law enforcement organizations such as the city guards or knights, the gallows will be their final destination, so the remaining four people split up and ran away in an instant.

But everyone also knows that within this distance, escape can only be regarded as a desperate struggle. The knight system in the fantasy world is completely different from the knights in the medieval century, and the weapons they are equipped with are naturally completely different.

Because knights in the demon hunting world have the need to resist spells, they not only encourage the development of archery, but even allow the use of weapons such as crossbows. Therefore, when the mercenaries are targeted by the knights, the outcome is already doomed.

They also fired their crossbows first, then drew their swords and charged forward to strike. The knights wearing heavy armor often gave people the impression of being slow, but in fact, the first strike of their charge was faster than laymen could imagine.

Seeing the knights chopping down the mercenaries, Victor made a rough assessment in his heart. If he only fights with swords, he will win one on one. One on two can fight for a long time, but in the end he will definitely run away. , as for one-on-three, that is asking for death.

It seems that excluding a small amount of extra-standard combat power, the conventional force value of the demon hunting world can be roughly summarized as "one hundred people can have unparalleled power" - being a magician; "it is no problem to be invincible" - in a dream.

Neither Victor nor Angouleme took action to block the attack. At this time, they just had to be good citizens. They were able to kill two waves of enemies with the help of external forces in one day without consuming potion bombs. The young man was quite satisfied with the result.

It's a pity that this scene of winning was unexpected in the end, because one of the six mercenaries was actually a mage. He used a fireball to repulse the knights approaching him, and then leaped to the roof of the nearby building.

Under the bright moonlight, the masked mage couldn't see his face clearly. Victor could only see his narrow eyes. He silently clapped his hands to applaud the young man's vigilance, and then swiped his palm across his throat to provoke, before the knights fired their second round of crossbows. Open the portal before disappearing into the night sky.

Seeing the mage disappear from the roof, Siegfried turned to Victor and smiled bitterly, "Eternal Fire! You should have told me in advance that one of the people chasing you is a mage."

In response, Victor could only respond with an even bitterer smile: "Believe me! I just found out just now."

Understanding that the young man could not be blamed for this, Siegfried sighed, "...If I had known better, I would have brought an anti-magic metal net. No...a mage who can teleport must apply for an 'anti-magic metal bomb'."

Suddenly hearing the name "Anti-Magic Metal Bomb", Victor's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

Because in the game, the Witcher actually has many types of bombs that he can use, but the bomb recipes he collected in Kaer Morhen are only Honeycomb (grenade) and Dancing Star (incendiary bomb). Ask Vesemir to get The result is that there are only two types.

Sensing the gap between games and reality, as the most profound thing in his memory and an indispensable means to fight against mages, anti-magic metal bombs are naturally the focus of the boy's attention. However, when searching the literature, he only found records about the anti-magic metal - "Dimogen" .

Produced primarily in the kingdoms of Kovir and Powis, this metal is rare, imported, and extremely expensive.

In addition, Victor did not find any description of anti-magic metal bombs in any books, so he did not expect to hear it from someone like Rose Knight who seemed to have nothing to do with bombs at this time. News of this "law-breaking weapon" arrived.

The boy subconsciously asked: "What is this 'anti-magic metal bomb' you are talking about?"

Glancing at Victor, Siegfried shook his head, "Sorry, this is a secret, Wick, I just let it slip, please forget it for me.

All I can say is that just holding that item would be considered an extremely unfriendly move towards mages, although to be honest, some mages' attitudes are really unfriendly. "

He continued: "Let's go. The appearance of the Wandering Mage has changed a lot of things!" Siegfried waved his hands to the Phantom Troupe, "Now I must solemnly invite Victor, Angouleme, and the two Corleones to come. Flame Rose Headquarters.

Regarding the vicious incident that happened in Vizima tonight, the Knights need to understand the cause and effect.

In any case, six fully armed mercenaries carrying crossbows, one of whom is a mage. If the two of us insist on knowing nothing about this kind of attack, it will be an insult to our mutual wisdom. "

…

An hour later, in the reception room of the Knights of the Flaming Rose headquarters, witnessed by six knights who participated in the operation tonight, Siegfried took the transcribed confession from the clerk and handed it to Victor for confirmation.

"... At this point, Mr. Victor Corleone, I must confirm to you again that you are now accusing a respected nobleman, an honorary knight, the former Knight of the White Rose - Falwick of Morne. Count, sent mercenaries to attempt to murder you and your companion, Ms. Angoulaine Corleone."

After reading the confession carefully, Victor signed his name.

"Although I don't want to say this, it is true. Well, yes, the above things that happened in Elland and the encounter after entering Vizima, I swear that everything I confessed is true. Long live King Foltest ”

Just when several witness knights sighed softly after hearing Victor's accusation, the rumble of the portal opening sounded, and a pale golden halo appeared in the center of the room, attracting everyone's attention.

Then a woman walks out of the portal, and the first thing anyone will notice is her shiny and shiny "shoulder-length hair."

In the world of monster hunting, commoner women usually wear headscarves, while noble women wear their luxurious top hats.

Only two kinds of women will wear long shawl hair - technicians and sorceresses. In this way, they declare to the world that she is a free woman who is in charge of her own destiny.
