Roy suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his foot.

Turning around, the corner of his mouth twitched and looked at the big bald man beside him who was gnawing a leg of lamb as if nothing had happened.

Vesemir, who was seated at the main seat, thought deeply when he heard the words, put the knife and fork on the plate, and raised his wine glass, "It's rare for a young man to have such superb craftsmanship, which compares to the old man, allowing us to enjoy a rare experience in the world. delicious!"

"This is a toast to Roy!"

"To Roy!"

……

"Leiso, tell me why the Snake faction moved from the south to the north." Escal swallowed the stewed taro and asked, "In recent years, the north has become more and more difficult to mix, and the number of monsters and entrustments has decreased year by year. , People don’t wait to see witchers more and more.”

Escal thought of a bad experience, and laughed at himself, "In the poor countryside, even in the big cities, many families with children, when they see 'mutants', they take precautions as thieves."

"I'm curious, the conditions in the south are worse?"

"Actually, after the new emperor Emhyr came to power, he treated non-human races pretty well." The bald man took a sip of his spirits, his tone dull, "at least better than Radovid of Redania and Henselt of Kaedwin. Moderate."

"But who told His Majesty the Emperor to take a fancy to the fortress of the Snake Faction, and think that Geswald on the edge of the ravine is an extremely important strategic area."

"Emhyr originally planned to send troops to attack and seize the fortress, but for some reason, he abandoned this plan."

"Gersveld escaped for the time being."

The old man of the Wolf faction changed his face when he heard this, recalling an unbearable memory.

"So Kaer Morhen is even more unlucky. A long time ago, a group of farmers, thugs and mages assembled and raided the castle, which is where we eat now." The old man recalled, "occupied the fortress for quite a while, killing Killed most of the members and robbed everything of value."

Vesemir sighed suddenly. During the catastrophe, as a swordsmanship instructor, he passed out under the corpses of the members of the school and escaped the catastrophe.

As for Geralt and Escal, they had not yet been born.

"Snake School and Wolf School, both schools are not as good as before, and there are only four active members left."

The old man's words came out, and everyone present couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

……

Lei Suo continued to explain, "Serritt, Oakes and I have seen through it, we can't entrust our fate to the nobles above us."

"We have to find another way to survive and come to the north to develop. Facts have proved that this is the right choice. In just over a year, the school has added a new member." The bald man glanced at the student who was holding a chicken leg and munching with relief.

"But before looking for a place to re-establish Viper School, we must first say hello to those who have lived in the north and establish a stable relationship."

Lei Suo glanced slowly over the four wolf factions, and said loudly,

"We are all demon hunters, and the same kind can be more considerate of the same kind."

"If there are difficulties and troubles, we can support each other and tide over the difficulties!"

"Especially in the current environment, demon hunters are in a difficult situation. It seems that no matter what we do, it will be a big mistake in the eyes of human beings! I believe you all have a deep understanding."

Geralt the Butcher of Bravikan nodded slightly.

"Gulu..." Escal took a sip of his wine with a gloomy expression.

"Master Lei Suo is right. I think the four of you are also sensible and willing to be reasonable. Of course, it's no problem to make a mutual assistance agreement with you." Vesemir paused, "The premise is that you must not violate Kyle. Mohan's principle of neutrality cannot interfere in politics!"

"And don't get your hopes up too much, all the members of the Wolf faction are here, there are only four of them in total, including my old bone, and their ability is really limited."

"Master Vesemir is humble," Leto said sincerely, "You are most likely the oldest demon hunter. Your life experience is worth three or four 'capable men'."

The old man nodded and took a sip of his wine, "The specific content of the agreement, we will talk about it later, anyway, you all have to stay for a month, there is plenty of time!"

He also had to spend some time investigating the Snake Demon Hunters.

"cheers!"

……

"Dude, to be more specific, how on earth did you persuade... to persuade this kid?" Lambert frowned, and said in distress, "I found that the law of accidents is not so good, and I haven't received a single apprentice after decades of trying. You guys How did it take a year to find a student?"

"Be patient, you are still young!" Geralt tried to explain.

Vesemir and Eskar were taking the opportunity to quickly eliminate the wild boar in the big iron pot.

……

"No way, Lambert, are you still recruiting apprentices by accident?" Oakes suddenly exaggeratedly shouted,

Successfully attract audience.

"Everyone, the law of accidents has long since ceased to work. Demon hunters should keep up with the times!" Oakes raised his glass high, his dry cheeks shining brightly in the firelight, "Roy is not a child of accidents. It is legendary and will surely leave a strong mark in the history of witchers in the future."

"Ahem..." Lei Suo seemed to have choked on his drink.

Oakes changed his voice and played tricks.

"How he got here, I will explain to you later."

I'm guessing - now that Roy's origin is mentioned, that kid will definitely make use of the topic, and then talk about the Brotherhood.

……

"Okay, I'm waiting for the answer." Lambert didn't force it, "Next, how do you plan to rebuild the school?"

"First of all, a large sum of money is needed..." He wrung his fingers with a serious expression on his face, "Secondly, the purchase of land needs to be officially approved... It's not just a question of money..."

"Third, don't obey the law of accidents, how do you plan to recruit apprentices, and how do you avoid being regarded as human traffickers by the public?"

Vesemir stopped eating.

Several wolf factions pricked up their ears.

"The problem of money... We made a big deal in Novigrad, and we settled it satisfactorily... enough." Serrit said, "It's not hard to find the place."

No matter how bad they are, they still have a laboratory under the island of Nuocheng Temple.

"As for how to recruit apprentices." Serrit smiled, "This world is huge, and there are many children who have no father, no mother, and can't get enough to eat...as long as they are given a choice, they will rush to catch them regardless of their own lives. "

"It's not the child of accident, it can't form the bond of fate." Geralt put down the knife and fork, and said seriously, "The trial of green grass is a death sentence for them."

"I'm just an exception?!" Dark Gold's pupils swept over Geralt and Escal, and Roy retorted,

"And so what if he is a child of accident? A child of accident may not be willing to be a demon hunter's apprentice."

"In order for the school to continue, changes must be made!"

Escal suddenly touched the hideous scar on his right cheek,

And Geralt's pupils shrank, thinking of the little princess he left in Cintra.

"Guys, don't talk about such heavy topics at the dinner table." Vesemir tapped the plate, "Let's have something light."

……

"What are you waiting for, Geralt, let's start with you!" Lambert suddenly became excited. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and couldn't wait to share and show off the wolf pie's hunting experience with new guests, "This year , How many women have you slept with?!"

"Then it's my turn, Escal, Wei... Let's talk one by one!"

"Are you sure?" White Wolf glanced sideways at his friend's smelly face, and "disdain" was written on his rigid face.

"Don't you dare, Geralt? Don't tell me you've been abstinent for a year!?"

"How about I come first?" Oakes said unwillingly. "I had a date with the sorceress in Arethusa this year."

"A petite blond beauty!"

……

The dim light of the fire revealed a bunch of whispering faces with wretched expressions.

Old Man Vesemir seemed to feel that the meat in the pot was not so fragrant anymore, so he quietly leaned towards the discussion area.

The youngest witcher sighed helplessly.

Looks like tonight is going to be a sleepless night!

Chapter 5 The Seal of Heliotrope

The morning light shines through the mottled iron windows of the tower, revealing the moth-eaten tapestry.

Roy woke up from the highest floor of Kaer Morhen, the best wooden bed, in the piercing cold wind.

As the youngest of the eight demon hunters, he also took care of the duties of cook and dishwasher. He was arranged by a group of big brothers and old men to the best room.

Still, this bedroom remains faithful to the austere style of Wolf Pie.There are hardly any furnishings and furniture, only a bed nailed from several planks, a suitcase and a chair.There are also some animal furs hanging on the walls and wooden doors, including wolves, stags, bobcats, etc. that the wolf faction usually hunts.

It was rare for Roy to enjoy a dark and sweet sleep instead of meditating all night.

At the same time, I sorted out Kaer Morhen's plan.

The primary purpose is to form an alliance with the wolf faction.Although Lei Suo and the others thought it was their first time to be a guest, it was enough to reach a mutual assistance agreement with the wolf faction.

But I still have to try my best to promote the concept of the Demon Hunter Brotherhood to Kaer Morhen and draw them into the team.

After all, the first Northern War is only over a year away, and time waits for no one.

Secondly, he must make good use of Kaer Morhen's lost blueprint to gain the trust of the wolf faction.

The locations of the six blueprints are all recorded in Roy's mind, not far from the castle, and it is very convenient to find them.

Finally, try to obtain the wolf pie mutation formula. Roy already has the formula of the flying lion monster, cat pie, and snake pie, so there is no rush for this task.

There are also some side tasks, such as visiting the ring of elements, meeting the old Spearhead of Cyclops who is the trial level of the wolf faction badge, finding a remote place to try to summon evil spirits, exchanging sword skills and magic seals with the wolf faction... Learn something new.

If Roy remembers correctly, the wolf faction has more than five seals.

"I don't know if those guys got up or not."

Last night, the adults of the two schools exchanged their experience in picking up girls until midnight. If it wasn’t for Kaer Morhen’s fortress, deep in the mountains and old forests, these night owls probably couldn’t help but go out together to have fun.

Putting on the armor, carrying the double swords on his back, he stuffed Gorfin Little Black Pig who was still sleeping in "Heng Hem" into the hood.

The young witcher stepped out of the wooden door, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Little thing, it's quite heavy."

……

The wind blows from between the fertile field and the ridge, like an ice knife scraping the surface, perfectly showing the amazing power of the Blue Mountains in winter.

The big banyan tree in the courtyard looks like a shivering old woman, with its withered arms blowing the wind and scattering broken leaves all over the sky.

On the side of the training field under the corner, there was already a strong man doing morning exercises against the cold wind.

His swordsmanship posture is very solid, with both hands holding the long sword straight above his head, his shoulders are relaxed, his upper body is centered, and his feet are in a T-step. Just standing still, he gives people a mountain-like calm feeling.

After taking two steps forward slowly, he circled with the imaginary enemy in his mind for a second, and the steel sword suddenly slashed from top to bottom.

A bright white line flew across the air.

The man's powerful blow split the air, and there was a piercing sound, and the flying leaves were blown away by the violent airflow.

The sharp and unshakable blade slashed to a horizontal position, and then suddenly withdrew, as if a giant was carrying a hill.

A majestic and resolute momentum is ready to come out.

The man stopped in his tracks and raised his hands obliquely upwards. The hilt of his sword stood outside his left face, and the sharp tip of the sword maintained a slight slope, forming an extremely standard bull posture.

His strong body is like a fully stringed bow, while the steel sword is his arrow, aiming at the enemy in nothingness with all his attention.

"Shh-"

The steel sword stabs forward like lightning, and the sturdy figure leaps forward, like a beast out of the gate.

A few meters away with one step, the fallen leaves danced with him.

Roy, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help blinking his eyes. The man had his back turned to him, but this stab seemed to be coming at him.

The air is oppressive to the extreme.

He tensed his body quietly.

……

The swinging of the sword continued.

The steel sword retreated to the waist, in a plowing posture.

The man began to dance the sword more quickly, turning his wrist and stepping forward, and the blade swung around his body.

Another lap.

The sword's momentum continued, like a violent wind and rain.
