"La la la... la la la... la la la..."
A middle-aged man squinted his eyes, shook his head and hummed a strange tune. His saffron nightgown kept beating with his swaying body, as if he had drunk too much or was suffering from an epileptic seizure.
He didn't seem to notice the witcher guarding the door. He walked straight towards the blacksmith shop door, and then, as expected, he bumped into Lei Suo's strong pectoralis major.
The man was shocked like a sleepwalker who had been awakened, and his long and thick eyebrows folded.
"What's going on?" He raised his head.
What kind of face is this? He has long oily dark brown hair hanging casually on the back of his head, and the clothes on his shoulders are covered with dandruff. He has a shaggy goatee on his chin, protruding brows, a flat upturned nose, and sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks.
Roy couldn't help but squint his eyes, as if he saw an undeveloped curly baboon wearing red pajamas.
"This is what we should ask you...didn't you raise your head to take a look when you came?" Roy suppressed a sense of humor and pointed to the sign that said "Closed" at the door, "Shop We have been closed for renovations recently and will not be accepting guests. Please come back in two days."
"Who said I'm looking for the blacksmith? I'm looking for that guy inside..." A humane sneer appeared on the man's monkey face. "Taking my money and not doing anything is a serious violation of the agreement! It's clearly written on it!" The man took out a piece of agreement from his arms with saliva and flashed it in front of the demon hunter's eyes. Even the king can't afford the money! Are you two going to stop me now?"
The demon hunter realized that this must be the creditor Berengar mentioned, that madman. But if you don't come early, you won't come later. Seeing that the double swords of the Snake Sect are about to be completed, they come to cause trouble at this time.
"Please be patient, your Excellency, Berengar will not be able to rely on you."
"Are you his friends, a sect of demon hunters? Are you going to pay him back?" The man glanced at Roy, especially pausing for a moment on his neck and pupils,
"I am Roy, the snake sect demon hunter, and this is Leitho. We and Berengar are barely... friends. By the way, what is your name?"
Roy glanced at the obsidian pendant around the man's neck.
"I am Kalkstein, an alchemist."
The man's voice sounded, and at the same time his personal information was presented in front of the demon hunter.
Karkestan
Age: 209 years old
Identity: Master Alchemist (he has mastered the ultimate alchemical skills: potion manufacturing, biology, chemical conversion and magic refining)
Free Warlock (He has tame magic flowing in his body, he does not join the Warlock Brotherhood)
……
Roy rubbed his temples with a slight headache, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
This weird-looking man is not an unknown person. If nothing else, he will have many interactions with Geralt in the future. As a generous alchemist, he even helped the White Wolf a lot. . But his more striking feature is his unconstrained and eccentric thinking. He has a famous catchphrase——
“Ghouls are cute little creatures who can clean up rotting corpses and prevent the outbreak of plague.”
It is difficult to simply say whether he is a good person or a bad person.
He also had some glorious deeds in later generations, such as helping Dandelion make explosives and blowing up Dijkstra's underground treasure house; his body exploded while being burned on a grill by the wizard hunter of eternal fire. Fireworks flew into the sky to form a row of dazzling and beautiful words - Radovid Eat Me the Big Eagle.
At that time, Redania, under the leadership of Radovid, basically occupied Kaedwen in the east, and its limelight and power were the same for a while.
But this guy has no respect for him.
About Kalkestan, there are various unreliable rumors, such as Alexander, who was studying the Catriona plague in the mouse tower on Fike Island and accidentally created the female plague demon. This is also his pseudonym. .
It is best not to offend this kind of person.
"Tell me," Roy sighed, "How much deposit did that guy charge you?"
"This account cannot be settled like this..." A flash of shrewdness flashed in Kalkstan's eyes, "According to Article 3 of the agreement, item 5, if Berengar fails to fulfill the agreement, he will be compensated ten times the deposit. , which amounts to almost two thousand crowns, a huge sum of money. Are you sure you want to pay off his debt?"
Roy opened and closed his lips quickly and cursed, "Sorry, such a huge sum of money... we can't do anything, and Berengar is even less likely to compensate." He took a deep breath, "And I think ten times the compensation The ratio is completely unreasonable. It is no different from loan sharking and a serious violation of the local laws of Vizima! Double is acceptable."
Kalkestan raised his head proudly and shook his head, "Before signing the agreement, I specially hired a notary at the Vizima Court. It is absolutely reasonable and legal, and there is no discount at all. You are not willing to pay this back. Money, please don’t delay my debt collection!”
As he spoke, he bumped into the bald man's chest again.
"Can you please be accommodating, in two days...not even half a day, tonight." Roy gritted his teeth. In two days, the weapon casting will be completed, and there will be no need to hold the cylinder for Berengar, "Wait until he finishes what he is doing. I will talk to you personally about the matter."
"The witchers all wear a pair of trousers, why should I trust you? Who knows where he will have escaped by then?" Kalkstein put his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "My time is precious, every hour It’s about a hundred crowns, and there’s still a lot of work left in the laboratory, so there’s no time to waste it outside!”
"Get out of my way if you don't want to pay!"
"Then what are you going to do? Belencar doesn't have that much money to pay back!"
Kalkstein suddenly licked his lips, "The witcher's mutated body is acid-resistant, poison-resistant, has amazing resilience, and can survive in extremely harsh environments. It is an excellent experimental subject. If he doesn't lose money, Just use your body to pay the debt!"
"Don't you have a gentler solution."
"There are also gentler methods..." Kalkstein glanced at the witcher with a deep meaning, "Continue to complete the commission in the agreement without any liquidated damages. But it is obvious that he is busy with two people. I can’t get away from my job..."
The alchemist paused,
"If you are willing to complete the commission on his behalf, the debt will be cancelled!"
"I knew it! You must have done some research before you came here, so you have already dug a hole for us to jump into?" Roy squinted at this weirdo, but he looked crazy but had more calculations than anyone else. Refined.
"I will not force anyone." The alchemist held his head high and looked calm.
The two witchers exchanged glances.
After hesitating for a moment between the compensation of two thousand crowns and a commission, he chose the latter. Maybe this commission was not difficult for him?
After doing this, Berengar owed him a favor.
"Tell me," Roy sighed, "Master Alchemist, what exactly do you need me to do?"
"Before revealing specific matters, you must first sign a confidentiality agreement with me."
"Lesuo, are you going or should I go?"
The bald man's amber eyes swept across Kalkstein's "monkey face", firmly remembering his appearance.
"Kid...don't sign anything else except that confidentiality agreement."
"Yeah."
Roy was also a little curious about the alchemist's mysterious commission, so he followed him out of the blacksmith shop and went to a room in a nearby tavern.
Subsequently, an agreement filled with dense terms was placed in front of him.
Only then did Roy realize that the confidentiality agreement the alchemist was talking about was not an ordinary agreement that only had legal effect, but a magical agreement.
The so-called magic agreement is that a magician casts a spell, and then uses the power of the spell to supernaturally bind the signatories. Violating a magical agreement will cost you much more than an ordinary agreement.
The same is true for this confidentiality agreement. Party B who breaches the contract and discloses the entrusted content to a third party will have an extremely miserable end - he will be cursed by magic and turn into a frog, which will last for one year.
"Berengar must have signed this confidentiality agreement before, so he dared not mention the specific content of the debt. Turning into a frog is really a nightmare! It will definitely be worse than death!"
Roy read the agreement hesitantly several times before slowly signing the confidentiality agreement.
But he is not yet sure whether to accept the commission. If the content of the commission is too dangerous, he will never jump into the fire pit.
This magic confidentiality agreement is also in duplicate, with Roy and Kalkstein each keeping one copy.
"Very good..." Kalkestan showed a rare ugly smile, and the demon hunter in front of him seemed to be more pleasing to the eye. "Now it's time to get down to business. My commission is very simple. I hope you can find some information for me."
Roy stretched out his hand and looked like he was listening.
"I want you to enter a laboratory near Foltest Castle and find an experimental diary for me."
"Whose laboratory?"
"A foreign sorcerer,"
Roy looked weird and refused decisively, "I am a demon hunter, not a pickpocket from some gang... Your commission is beyond the scope of my responsibilities... I'm sorry."
"No, although it is stealing...ahem..." the alchemist leaned on the sofa and explained patiently, "but what is needed most is not stealing skills, but courage and iron will."
"Because there are many magic traps set up in this laboratory," Kalkstein complained, "from the handiwork of Azar Javid."
"Aza Javid?" Roy suddenly realized that after the two demon hunters killed the evil **** Dagon for Yada, the mayor invited Aza to open the portal to Cintra for them. Roy even used the mixed blood of various creatures to fake it as the blood of a demon hunter, deceiving the research madman once.
I don’t know if the other party has developed any tricks from the "witcher blood".
"Isn't he Vizima's magic advisor?" At this point in time, Triss has not yet become Foltest's royal advisor.
"Do you know him?" Kalkstein asked,
“I’ve only met once, so I can’t say we know each other, let alone have any friendship.”
"That's good, you can't be soft at work." Kalkstein began to tell more details.
He and Azar Javid are both science geeks living in Vizima, and they share the same affinity, so they maintain a good relationship on the surface and meet every few days to exchange research experiences.
However, in the past two months, Aza has missed appointments many times or been late.
Kalkestein is keenly aware that the other party is conducting some important research, or has found an excellent research subject, and he wants a share of the pie.
But Aza was resolute and refused to disclose any information.
He attacked Kalkstein, a madman who was willing to sacrifice everything for research. His crime is unforgivable!
"Azar Javed's recent behavior completely violates the basic principles of scientific research and open communication, and has gone astray. As an old friend, I have the responsibility to correct his wrong thinking."
Kalkstein said seriously, "But I cannot enter Aza's laboratory in person, otherwise the magic alarm will be triggered immediately. And the psychological quality of the witcher is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he happens to be the best candidate to invade the laboratory."
"What kind of gangster logic is this? Invading other people's laboratories~IndoMTL.com~ and then correcting mistakes? What a shameless person!" Roy wiped cold sweat, but he was not satisfied with Aza, the future invader of Kaer Morhen. His accomplices are also disliked, and it seems good to be able to cause trouble for the other party.
"Tomorrow, once the operation starts, I will find an excuse to get him out of the laboratory, and then you will use the magic scroll to transform into a cute oriole, enter his laboratory, and investigate the experiment diary."
"Wait...there's something wrong with my ears? What have they become?" Roy looked stunned. Sure enough, this Kalkstein is a psychopath, right? Turning people into birds was something he couldn't imagine.
"Don't worry, it's safe..." Kalkstein gave the witcher an ugly smile, "The Oriole is small in size and can easily avoid the magic traps in the laboratory..."
"Stop! This commission ends here...I have no interest in turning into a furry little animal. That is too ridiculous and there is no guarantee of safety!" Roy interrupted the alchemist and changed his tone. "Or, change the terms and pay a more suitable offer - a reward that satisfies me."
