From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 215 Young people should drink less alcohol

Vesemir's expression was slightly astonished, but he quickly recovered.There was no such thing as "visiting relatives" as a witcher apprentice. Apprentices were not allowed to go down the mountain for decades after they came to the base camp until they left the master.

Although the wolf faction has decided to move to Sintra, Kaer Morhen is not just abandoned.Not to mention the unique Ring of Elements here, many supporting combat training grounds, equipment, and even special mountainous terrain are an indispensable part of the training of a demon hunter. Ciri's future training will still be carried out in Kaer Morhen. .

In Lann and Vesemir's original plan, the school's establishment in Sintra was more like a new headquarters, while Kaer Morhen transformed into a base for logistics and apprentice training.The main members of the wolf faction will be stationed in Sintra, while the training teacher will train apprentices in Kaer Morhen—if new apprentices are added in the future—after the apprentices leave the division, Sintra will be the first stop. Start your own witcher career.

In short, Ciri's continued training in Kaer Morhen was necessary.

But Ciri was special after all, and since it was Lan who spoke at this moment, and the reason given was so impeccable, Vesemir naturally didn't refuse any more.

The old witcher pretended to think for a while under the expectant eyes of the little girl, and smiled: "Alright then!"

Ciri immediately jumped up and hugged Vesemir, causing him to burst out laughing.

…………

As the night was getting dark, Yennefer left her seat after finishing her meal, and left Geralt with a look of "come back soon".

Triss saw that there seemed to be endless topics among the demon hunters, so she quickly got up and left her seat, took Ciri away by the way, and left the dining table for the men.

Although even if they didn't leave, the crowd would not shy away from swearing and swearing; but after all, they left the banquet at this time, after all, it still made people feel a lot more comfortable-at least Geralt felt so.

Vesemir was discussing the relocation of the school with Lane: "We estimate that it will take about half a month to arrive in Sintra. There are a lot of experimental equipment, weapons, medicines and other things that need to be sorted out to see what is suitable for taking away. Which ones are suitable to stay."

The old witcher shook his head: "After all, the castle is too big, and we have too few people—in fact, no one has visited places like the cellar and the forging room for decades."

Lane nodded in understanding.Then he suddenly said: "If that's the case, Kaer Morhen actually has quite a few treasures."

With Vesemir's expression of "Do you know Kaer Morhen better than I do?", Lann smiled and said, "You can understand that it is the prescience ability of the ancient blood, which allowed me to see some scenes."

"Kaer Morhen was once attacked by a mob instigated by warlocks, right? I want to say that I'm sorry...but from what I saw, the wolf sent demon hunters and resident mages in the riot at the end At this juncture, hide the equipment blueprint that the school is researching, maybe you can find it."

Vesemir, who didn't change his face after drinking the spirits, suddenly turned red: "School equipment blueprint?"

For the Wolf Faction, which can be described as a "remnant party" today, 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.

Lan En affirmed: "That's right, and if my predictions are correct, it's still a whole set. Go and have a look in the surrounding ruins, and you will gain something. But you may need a little magic help, because the stationed The warlocks exhausted all their strength to make magical disguises at the last moment, and some dead souls of schools who are dying may also be able to give you a hint..."

After hearing this, Vesemir, who was originally happy, calmed down little by little, and even appeared disappointed: "I have always used the lack of manpower as an excuse for not cleaning up the ruins...in fact, I don't want to face the disaster that once happened. Unexpectedly, everyone did not give up at the last moment, but I..."

Seeing the appearance of the old witcher, Mossak patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "And you have continued the school by yourself, Vesemir, and you will continue to do so."

After learning the story of the Wolf faction, the old druid really admired Vesemir, especially after combining his recent experience of supporting Sintra, he even developed a bit of sympathy for Vesemir who was pulling the school alone Feelings.

"If you need magical support, you can contact me at any time." The old druid smiled, "I will be able to relax a little bit after Vesekid joins us, and I can spare more time to devote Go inside the magic."

Vesemir quickly adjusted his state and thanked Lan for giving him the news.

Lan En said with a smile: "After finding the blueprint, we can bring it back to Sintra together. We will pay for you to build it. It happens that we have a blacksmith and an enchanting mage."

But this is not the end.

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 mine, and some of the high-level goods have not been taken away. You can Go and get it back together. But be careful that there are elemental life guards there, it is best to form a team together. That should be something from the time of the Demon Hunter Order, because I think Kaer Morhen Castle was not fully established at that time... "

"I also saw a demon hunter running around behind the mountain being chased by a goat. He seemed to have a blueprint for a sword and a lot of equipment left behind. You, Vesemir, may be in that scene. You can check it out, there are many good things in the lair of the horned demon..."

"Oh yes, I also saw a warlock built a greenhouse in a cave, but now because of the disordered magical energy, that area seems to have turned into a rainstorm abnormal weather area. You can go explore it, that warlock should stay It’s a good way to restart the greenhouse, it’s the best way to grow herbs..."

…………

The more Vesemir listened, the more dumbfounded he became.

Mossack is used to it, and now he is very satisfied with the expression and eyes of others looking at Lann, and raised his glass with a smile: "Old blood..."

After a while, Vesemir came back to his senses, raised his wine glass silently to salute Lan.

Lan was about to pick up the wine glass to return the gift, but suddenly found that it was empty.

A hand patted his shoulder, and Lan looked up to find that it was Lambert.

"Out of wine?"

With a smirk, Lambert took out two wine bottles and began to blend them into Lane's wine glass, and handed them to Lane after a while.

"Try this, I call it 'Iron Gloves', a one-to-one concoction of spirits and white seagulls, I learned it in a village with no name at all." Lambert laughed, "Ladies left, It's time to drink some man's wine!"

Lann took it without any refusal, saluted Vesemir and took a gulp, only to feel a flame flowing down his throat, followed by a large cloud of hot air rushing straight towards the Heavenly Spirit.

He shivered suddenly, and exhaled hot air: "Enough!"

Lambert laughed triumphantly, and blended a glass for the other companions, which attracted a burst of praise.

You must know that White Seagull is the base wine for alchemy, and if it is blended with spirits, it is more than just "strong enough".The atmosphere on the table immediately rose like the alcohol level.

"Vesemir, Lann, don't talk about business anymore, I'm not even interested in drinking after seeing the serious faces of you just now. Today we killed the old spearhead, it's time to celebrate desperately, let those annoying people Let's go aside!"

…………

The wolf faction is about to relocate, although the witchers say they have no affection for it.But now that they really have to change places, they still feel a lot of emotion in their hearts.Looking at the masonry patterns around them that have been seen for decades or even nearly a hundred years, everyone's words gradually increased.

I've basically finished talking with Vesemir, and looking at the surrounding atmosphere now, to be honest, Lane is enjoying it a bit.

He has never been so relaxed as now.Even when I first arrived in Sintra, I was always busy with quests in the capital, accepting commissions, and honing my sword skills; after the fall of Sintra, it was really a fight from the beginning to the end. It is also interspersed with various heavy political tasks and commissions.

There are occasional breaks in the middle, but they are not as comfortable as today.Even in taverns or romantic venues, he mostly drank with restraint on the sidelines, watching his attendants and soldiers making jokes; how could he sit around the table freely with a dozen or so people of the same status as today? Drinking and chatting.

He likes this atmosphere, and even once recalled how he felt when playing games in his previous life.

"I have a story to share," Lane offered.

Among demon hunters, the only topics of circulation are hunting and women.It would be even more popular if the two were combined.

"I received a commission when I was in Toussaint. At that time, I was not a witcher, but Geralt was there." Lan looked at the white wolf, "A female night devil came out of that country, the Duchess Promised us a lot of money to 'kill the people'. But guess what? Geralt - tell us the story behind!"

White Wolf also laughed recklessly: "Then two knights came to us and promised us more money to let us leave this matter alone, and they also assured us that the female Night Demon was harmless and even beneficial to the stability of the country. In the end they were thrown out together by Lane."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Speaking of which, the female night devil really appeared later and bumped into my attendants, but unfortunately I didn't come across it." After Lane returned, Ace and House also told Lane this. The first thing that happened was that the female Night Demon led them to the tomb of Thomas Moreu.

Escal smacked his lips, and suddenly asked, "Night Demon? Is she... still in Toussaint?"

Lan shrugged his shoulders: "Probably, there are very few places suitable for them like Toussaint... I think the knights there are a bit vain. Fortunately, Toussaint is a place far away from war."

After hearing the story, Lambert suddenly sat next to Geralt and patted him on the shoulder.

Under the puzzled eyes of the white wolf, Lambert said, "Although you didn't complete the commission and get the money, at least you have learned a good truth, right? For example..."

"...stay away from dangerous women."

The handsome witcher looked at the direction where Yennefer had just disappeared, and he couldn't be bothered to hide the meaning in his words.

Bai Lang's happy expression just now subsided.

He shrugged and shook off Lambert's hand: "You just don't want to let Yennefer go, right?"

Lambert waved his hand, and said as a matter of course: "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 uses you like a tool." Just throw it away."

When a witcher travels across the continent, it is inevitable to deal with spellcasters.The attitude of the proud warlocks towards the demon hunter is not good: either they regard it as a tool that can be called as soon as they are called, or they regard it as the best experimental material.

Even Escal 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 the flames on their lovers whose fates are connected, so that White Wolf doesn't know how to vent his full temper.He could only drink himself sullenly.

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 teaching, Ciri would be in danger!"

The untaught magic source will not be able to control the rampant power in his body, which will eventually lead to tragedy.

In the original plot, only Geralt and Ciri returned to Kaer Morhen at the beginning, but after discovering Ciri's talent for magic, Vesemir invited the friendly Triss as 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 ask her old friend Ye Naifa for help.

Yes, Triss is different from Yennefer, she has long established a good relationship with the Wolf Faction, and is familiar with Vesemir.Her good popularity is rare among female sorceresses and even among sorcerers.

But this kind of relationship is limited to Vesemir, Escal and Lambert even have a lot of opinions on Triss.Just as warlocks are prejudiced against witchers, they also have prejudice against female sorceresses, worrying that they will steal Ciri back to the magic school. After all, there were legends in the mainland that "witches steal gifted children late at night".

Seeing the disdainful looks of the two companions, Geralt angrily slapped the table and accused: "Enough, look at you masters of love, you have never been with a sorceress before!"

Escal shrugged: "White Wolf, this is the problem, we have no one except you..."

His words stopped abruptly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly looked in Lane's direction.Not only him, but the eyes of the entire wine table were focused on Lan En.

The young man with lion pupils stopped holding the wine glass, not knowing how the fire suddenly caught him.

"Don't be stupid, we all know what happened between you." Lambert jumped to sit next to Lann, and patted him on the shoulder, "Merigold looked at you like everyone To be able to see it, let alone hide it from our eyes!"

"I said..." Lambert approached Lann, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "You will be with Ciri in the future, right? In the future, there will be a queen and a prince, or a king and a queen. Official, right?"

Lane nodded: "That's right."

"And what about you and Merigold?"

"..."

Looking at the silent Lann, Lambert's eyes became dangerous: "I only now think you are a nobleman, this stinking problem..."

In the end it was Vesemir who rescued Lane.

He slapped the table heavily: "That's the end of this topic. Don't you spend too little money on this outside?"

"Okay, okay." Lambert shrugged helplessly, "Let's leave the handsome white wolf and the lion alone, they've already pouted with ugly faces, I really can't bear it..."

…………

The young witchers were reluctant to speak, and Vesemir shook his head.This was the first time that the three factions of wolf, snake, and griffin gathered in Kaer Morhen tonight, and it might be the last time. He didn't want to break up just like that.

"We have wine, meat, and companions. It shouldn't be this kind of atmosphere, boys." Vesemir raised his glass, "Well, I propose to play a game, which I learned from Oxburgh."

Thinking about it carefully, Vesemir and Mrs. Minorer met in Niuburg. It seems that he had a lot of experience during that time.

"A person starts a sentence with 'I've never...', followed by an event. If anyone in the room does this, drink a glass of wine, and then choose the next person from among the drinkers. Vesemir laughed. "How about you guys, want to get involved?"

Lan En suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu, and his intuition told him that all the people at this table would die if he went on like this.

But Lambert was already excited: "Of course! I also played this game in Niubao, I will come first."

Vesemir made a "please" gesture.

After thinking for a moment, Lambert suddenly looked at Lann with a smirk: "I've never... slept with Hiroki with a female night devil!"

He seemed to think that Lane had concealed some follow-up in Toussaint's story before, and now he wanted Lane to make a fool of himself.

However, Lan didn't move at all, but there was a helpless toast coming from Lambert's side.

Lambert looked back to see both Eskar and Vesemir raised their cups.

"What's wrong?" Escal said confidently, "I like women with horns!"

Vesemir shook his head, "Don't ask anything, Lambert."

Lambert only felt happier than letting Lann drink at this moment: "This is really... well hidden, Eskar, Vesemir!"

……

The next round will be between Vesemir and Eskar, and Vesemir shook his head and gave Eskar the chance to speak.

The scar-faced witcher thought for a while and came up with an idea: "I've never... woke up after a drinking binge and found myself naked and wearing only my underwear!"

It turns out that this statement hits a lot.

Vesemir, Geralt, Lambert, Kern, and even the Snake faction all raised their wine glasses.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Lan En's eyes, Cohen shrugged his shoulders, "Drinking a little more indulgently, I don't think this is a particularly absurd thing."

Indeed, compared with the first female night devil incident, the lethality of this sentence is relatively small.

But Lambert seemed to show off: "Then I have a follow-up. When I woke up, I found that the underwear on my body was not mine!"

Not knowing what he was proud of, everyone shook their heads and ignored him.After a while of negotiation, the right to speak for the next round was handed over to Geralt.

The white wolf thought for a while, and came up with an idea: "I have never... jumped out of a girl's window before dawn and escaped!"

It wasn't until Geralt said this that he realized that he was too targeted—the story of Mrs. Minorer and Vesemir was no secret in the Wolf Faction.

When he turned around, he found that Vesemir poured himself another glass of wine with a depressed expression on his face.

Surprisingly, Lambert followed suit.

"Ha." Geralt was finally happy, "It must be a ruthless character who can make you run away in a hurry!"

Lambert was no longer as excited as before, and lost in his words:

"No...he's my friend, I just don't want to hurt his feelings."

The warrior of pure love fell to the ground.

"Oh, you are such a 'good friend'."

Looking at the inside of the wolf faction that was about to fight again, Lan sighed: "Guys, why don't we stop here, or it will be very awkward to get along with each other in the future..."

Snake pie, who had already eaten several big melons, had no objection to the others.

But Lambert, still Lambert, still Lambert--wouldn't let it go.

"One round, one more round!" Lambert seemed to be on the top of his drinking, "Let Vesemir come. He drank every round before, but he never spoke. He is still the proposer of this game. He Compensation is needed!"

Vesemir's face darkened, "Thank you for being so considerate of me, Lambert."

Lane was really worried that the old witcher would crush the wine glass in his hand. He had already overturned most of his image tonight.At first, everyone thought that the most absurd person should be the famous White Wolf or the most cynical Lambert, but it turned out to be the calmest and even kindest Vesemir.

Should it be said that it is the tradition of the Wolf faction?
However, alcohol may indeed have an effect. Vesemir was the person who drank the most tonight. At this moment, he blushed and agreed to Lambert's proposal, starting the final round of the game.

"I have never... anything happened to a woman when I was unconscious!"

Lane's hand froze suddenly.

The memory was reversed, and he returned to the time when he had not become a witcher.Brokilon that night, and the five hundred crowns.

There was no need to hide it, because Geralt was there at the time, and the white wolf had already cast his playful gaze over.

Lan sighed and picked up his glass.To his surprise, however, the other hand beside him made the same movement.

Look up—it's Mossack.

The old druid froze and said, "Don't ask anything, Lan."

"……it is good."
