The Divine Hunter Chapter 17: Plenary meeting

The orange sun hangs in the sky.

The orphans of Gawain's House have finished their daily morning training. Thirteen boys with slight sweat on their foreheads and healthy blushes on their faces, and seven little girls who were chattering and holding hands filled the two tables in the yard. Rectangular table.

Faced with food, the hungry children burst out with amazing fighting power. They buried their heads in their own plates and launched a "relentless" attack on fish, eggs and bread.

It seems that what is on the plate is dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder, and delicious delicacies.

"Pfft..." A piece of fish slipped to the ground while he was devouring it.

As fast as lightning, Akamtom lowered his waist to pick up the food, and at the same time gave a stern warning look to his two companions on the left and right who were about to make a move,

"Hmph! Monty, Carl, don't be like hyenas and keep staring at the lion's trophies. Aren't there always opportunities for scoundrels to steal! If you haven't eaten enough, you can help yourself! Are you too lazy to walk these few steps? ?"

"Be careful if the teacher finds out and will **** your legs!"

"Who told you that you are a funnel-mouthed person? Who else will eat your food? Wrap your mouth tightly next time?" Karl licked the glass-smooth dinner plate and touched his bulging belly like a pumpkin.

Then the three boys sitting side by side glanced at the girl at the next table, their smiles as bright as those of three congenitally retarded girls.

Every time after training, after breakfast, admiring the girl's eating posture has become a regular entertainment activity for boys.

Compared with the little cubs who are feasting on food, girls are much more delicate when eating, taking small bites and chewing slowly... which is pleasing to the eye.

They exposed a few front teeth from time to time, their little faces tensed and stretched, and the sparse freckles dotted on both sides of their noses seemed to be dancing.

Karl shook his head regretfully.

Most of the children in the orphanage come from ordinary families, and few have outstanding looks. Freckles, wide chins, and large foreheads can be seen everywhere.

Among the seven girls, Vicky is the only one whose facial features are as delicate as the one in the painting. After more than a month of adequate food recuperation in the orphanage, her skin and blond hair are no longer as dry as straw, but become as smooth as silk and radiant. Attractive luster.

Karl and the boys in the yard liked to peek at her when they had nothing to do.

At this time, the little girl felt strange attention. She turned around and found a dozen pairs of sneaky eyes. Two red clouds suddenly appeared on her face, and her head almost dropped to the table.

"Reserved and beautiful..." Monty sighed and murmured, "She is the best girl I have ever seen."

"Hmph, the most beautiful woman will only marry the strongest swordsman, after I pass the grass trial." Karl took another lick of the bare dinner plate and smiled provocatively at his two companions, " One of you is short and the other is skinny, and you are reluctant to be my flower girl."

"Boom!"

"Ouch, who?!" Karl turned around angrily and saw a pair of gray-green pupils and a face as cold as ice. He immediately lowered his head like a puppy being held by the back of the neck.

"Teacher..."

The cat eagle glared at the disciple coldly, "The amount of training this morning was far from the standard, but you actually have the energy to discuss girls... There is still a quarter of an hour before class, go and squat on the plum blossom pile, two sets of pendulums!"

"Immediately, immediately!"

"Teacher...what about them?" Karl glanced at his two companions who were as silent as ice, trying to drag them into the water.

"They need to slow down, hurry up!" Cat Vulture kicked him on the butt.

Karl showed a smile that was uglier than crying. Reluctantly, he turned back three times and ran away to the wooden pile area.

When the cat vulture nodded and left, Monty and Akamtom immediately held their stomachs and snickered.

"Karl was wrong. The most beautiful woman can only marry the smartest man!" Monty muttered, and suddenly his eyes widened.

"What's wrong with you?" Akamtom looked at his friend's forehead with concern.

"So beautiful?"

"What's so beautiful?"

"More beautiful than Vicky!" Monty thought hard and came up with the words of praise, "The lips are like...like little blooming morning glory."

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

At the entrance of the orphanage, under the brass plaque, a stunningly beautiful woman quietly appeared. Her white dress covered her curvy figure, and her flame-like hair trembled slightly on her shoulders.

The wheat-colored skin seemed to be shining.

As beautiful as a goddess, breathtaking.

Beside her was Teacher Roy, whom the children had not seen for a week.

She held his hand like a gentle wife.

The intimate gesture between the two made the orphans stunned, and their mouths could fit an egg into their mouths.

"Rare visitor, rare visitor! Ms. Rita Nied, welcome to Gawain's House!" Several demon hunters guarding the yard immediately greeted them.

Ochs stuck out his tongue at the sorceress, made a face, and stretched out his arms for a hug, but Rita Nied just stood there and watched coldly.

He was not embarrassed, shrugged and took back his hand, immediately winked at Roy and gave a thumbs up.

The bald man glanced between the arms of the two people, sighed, took a deep breath, and shook hands with the sorceress.

"Ms. Rita, let's go into the room and chat, and introduce you to some new friends!" Seret nodded to her, with a smile on his face.

"That'll have to wait a little longer," Rita Nied smiled brightly and smoothed her hair, "There are still a few people behind."

"Who are you referring to?" Cat Vulture and Eskar came forward.

"Little cubs, did you miss me?!" A heroic and vicissitudes of shouting came from the alder bushes, wearing a high black hat, holding the gray horse with a bulging saddle bag, Vesemir Entered Gawain's house.

Lambert and a man with short black hair, a scar on his chin, and a stern face were talking loudly as they walked out of the alder forest.

The man wore a cat-pie pendant around his neck.

Geralt and Yacain walked slowly at the end.

"Wow... what a good day today is, everyone is here!" Oaks opened his mouth wide, his face excited, "Come in, guys, let's go to the conference room and have a good chat!"

……

In the simple conference room in the far left building of the orphanage, warm sunlight shines through the windows, illuminating the twelve faces surrounding the round table.

"Brothers, the distinguished lady who appears before you is the royal advisor from Kairak, Ms. Rita Nied..." Oakes bowed exaggeratedly and guided his hand to the only graceful woman present, as if A servant who greets guests.

Rita Nied nodded to everyone and corrected,

"To be precise, I am the former Royal Advisor. I have accepted Roy's invitation to come here and cooperate with the Demon Hunter Brotherhood to jointly research and improve the mutation formula."

"I'm not lying to you, man, I told you they have an affair, it's a sure thing!" Lambert whispered to Aiden beside him, raising his chin in a show-off manner, and the latter was stunned and speechless.

He did not expect that there would be warlocks willing to cooperate with demon hunters today.

The reddish-brown eyes couldn't help but look at the young man sitting here.

Being able to win over a warlock, this guy is really different from other demon hunters.

The old man looked appreciative.

As for those who have joined the Brotherhood, the Wolf Faction, Snake Faction, and Cat Faction can’t help but feel excited.

Recently, they established an orphanage and enrolled twenty children. Everything went according to plan and in an orderly manner.

And the addition of spellcasters is a shot in the arm!

"Ms. Rita Nieder, thank you very much for deigning to come..."

"Who told this little rascal to be here?" Coral shook her head and chuckled, and then generously took Roy's arm, showing no secret of her intimate gesture in front of everyone.

The big men present gave each other a knowing look.

Geralt was in a daze, Ye had shown affection to him like this before.

Unexpectedly, I became a bystander this time.

"Ahem, in short, from now on, everyone is brothers and friends. We must abide by the rules and regulations of the fraternity, respect each other, and take care of each other!"

……

"It's my turn, look over here, this is Aiden from the Cat School, the best friend I mentioned!" Lambert and Aiden stood up at the same time,

"Aiden, they are from fraternities..."

"Man, do you still remember me?" The cat vulture's gray-green eyes shone on him,

"I can't forget, I met you decades ago, Lord Furius." Aiden nodded with a trace of respect on his face, and his eyes suddenly shifted to the ferocious-looking Kyan next to the cat vulture.

"I was injured a little bit, it's a little serious. It's normal for a demon hunter..." Kyaan shrugged nonchalantly and asked, "Do Jor-El and Gaitan know each other?"

Aiden pondered for a moment, "Joel is my teacher...but I haven't seen him for more than ten years."

"As you know, the Cat Faction's buddies wander around in caravans and have no fixed residence. The hiding place where apprentices are tested is constantly changing. Whether you can bump into them or not depends on luck."

Cat Vulture nodded, "There were too many crazy people in the school before, so it's okay not to contact them. As a rationalist, you shouldn't hang out with them! Are you willing to join a new brotherhood? Fight side by side with us."

"I promise, the atmosphere in the fraternity will be as warm and harmonious as home."

Aiden fell into silence, his eyes slowly sweeping over everyone present.

Lambert interrupted, "Everyone, give him some time, and he will make a decision after he has inspected the brotherhood environment."

"Then you will be my companion for the next period of time!" Lei Suo said.

Lambert nodded, then looked at Vesemir and teased with a playful smile,

"Old man, life in Oxenfurt is quite good. There are even fewer white hairs on my head."

"But you have enjoyed the gentleness of Countess Minorle's manor for a month, and you are still willing to leave?!"

"So what, you brat, if you have the skills, bring a decent woman back to see me!" Vesemir's eyes slowly swept across the crowd and said loudly, "And I didn't come back empty-handed this time... The saddle There are several school weapons and armors in the bag."

"All of them were kindly donated by Minore for my sake - a complete set of equipment for the snake sect, and a few pieces for the bear sect. You can figure it out for yourself later."

"Vesemir, the Countess is not short of money, right?" Lambert rubbed his index and middle fingers towards the old man, "Can you..."

"Greedy little bastard! Do you really think of me as a freeloader?" Vesemir shook his head, "It would be nice to give you weapons and equipment. You can solve the money problem yourself!"

"Having said that, establishing and developing an organization is not a simple task. It involves all aspects. The water here is too deep, and you, the young guys, may not be able to grasp it. The organization still needs An experienced senior is here to help you as a consultant and check things for you. Like me!"

Smiles bloomed on everyone’s faces,

"Welcome to the Witcher Brotherhood, Vesemir!" Eskar said with a smile, "I will give you the rules and regulations later, and by the way, I will arrange a job!"

……

"Everyone, Keyan and I have a good trip." It was Geralt's turn to report on his work. "The blueprints for the Cat Pie steel sword and the silver sword are here. All the Cat Pie blueprints are complete."

After leaving the elven ruins of Etaye, they entered the Drasi Fortress not far away, and found the bones of Prince Adrian on a spacious and dilapidated balcony - he was responsible for the order he had given to Kyyan. Feeling guilty for the cruel order to massacre the Oxenfurt archaeological team, he hanged himself in his later years.

The Sea Cat Dynasty will never be seen again.

Beside his remains were the blueprints for the last Cat Pie steel sword, which also marked the end of the tragedy for the Oxenfurt archaeological team.

From then on, Kyaan kept all the guilt in his heart.

……

Total statistics show that the Demon Hunter Brotherhood has now collected a complete set of blueprints for the wolf sect and cat sect, as well as the double swords of the snake sect, as well as the flying lion armor, greaves, and steel sword blueprints.

The six schools of thought already account for half of the missing drawings.

"So, we are in urgent need of a skilled blacksmith master, who can use the blueprints to research new alloys, combine the advantages of each school's suits, and forge the best weapons and equipment." Roy paused and said frankly Reported Berengar's whereabouts to Vesemir. Hopefully, the old man might be able to think of a way to convince the wolf traitor.

After hearing this, the old man was silent for a moment, wrinkles appeared on his weathered cheeks, and he shook his head, "Leaving Kaer Morhen was Berengar's own choice, and there is nothing I can do to reverse it."

"From what I know about him, there's no way he'd join the Brotherhood unless someone put a knife to his neck!"

"Then don't worry about finding a blacksmith." Seret said, "We are not short of weapons and armor, not to mention that Vesemir brought back some this time, which is enough to arm most members."

"Furthermore, after finding a blacksmith and converting the blueprint into a finished product, or researching and improving it, a lot of money will be needed to purchase materials. This is not a top priority. We should use the funds on more important things, such as formula improvement."

Everyone couldn’t help but nodded.

The top priority of the Demon Hunter Brotherhood is always the training of apprentices.

……

The introduction and mission report of new joiners have been completed.

Roy cleared his throat and stood up from his seat, "The first work ended successfully, everyone did a great job! Guys, it's time to start the second phase of work."

"Starting from tomorrow, Coral will retreat in the laboratory under the Temple Island to analyze and study the grass decoction formulas of the snake sect, wolf sect, cat sect, and flying lion monster sect..."

"Ms. Rita..." Cat Vulture suddenly interjected, "Karl, I hope you will take more trouble."

"Exactly, I have something to discuss with you," Coral stroked the red hair beside her ear and said hesitantly, "Your Excellency Maojiu, do you insist that Carl take Mao Pie Green Grass Jian? I hosted Green Grass for Roy. During the trial, I also roughly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the formulas of the Cat School, Snake School, and Flying Lion School."

Eleven pairs of vertical pupils turned to the sorceress, and all the demon hunters were attracted by this content.

"Among the three formulas, the Cat Pie formula has a high fatality rate, the greatest side effects, and is most likely to lead to uncontrollable mutations. Even if the survivor survives the trial, the emotions of the survivors may be amplified and become insane. Manic-depressive!"

"And the formula of the Wolf Faction," his blue eyes glanced at Vesemir, and the old man nodded to the sorceress with a smile.

"Even if I haven't bought it yet, it's obvious...it's safer than Cat Pie."

The sorceress's melodious and magnetic voice was meaningful, "But when it comes to which formula I have the greatest confidence in, Carl is most likely to survive unharmed, including the snake sect and the flying lion monster."

"No!" Cat Vulture said with a gloomy face, "The little monkey has been drinking Cat Pie prodrug for several months, how can it be replaced with another formula?"

"We can't slightly improve the recipe of cat pie in more than a month."

"Your Excellency Maojiu, I must remind you," Coral shook his head helplessly, and Roy held her hand comfortingly, "Recipe improvement is an extremely delicate and troublesome job, and it doesn't take more than a year or a half. It won't produce any effect. Besides, I'm just a researcher... I can only say that I will try my best."

"As for your concerns, the Cat Pie prodrug that Carl took is not much different from the prodrugs of other schools. The effect... is only to increase the poison resistance a little."

"To be honest, if he uses the Flying Lion Monster Green Grass Decoction, I am 70% sure that he will get through it safely, the Snake Faction is 60% sure, and there will be no severe side effects! And the Cat Faction is not more than 50% sure."

The success of the flying lion monster depends on Roy's first trial and providing relevant data.

"Seventy percent?!"

Everyone present suddenly changed their expressions and their breathing became heavy.

"Damn, our previous pass rate was only 30%!" Lambert slapped his knees angrily, thinking again of his companions who failed to survive. "Should have tied a warlock to Kaer Morhen!"

Vesemir was also shocked, but even more pleased.

And the cat vulture spat at the ground frantically.

"Let the flying lion monster be the flying lion monster!"

In the final analysis, although he favors the "bloodline" of the Cat Faction, he also hopes that the students can live normally.

"A demon hunter of the Flying Lion School is at least a demon hunter!"

Kiayan nodded with deep sympathy and hugged his companion's shoulders, "Cat Vulture, little Carl is the first apprentice to undergo a trial after the establishment of the Brotherhood. It is of great significance. You can only succeed and not fail! Think of the overall situation. Right."

"And the sixth article of the fraternity stipulates that cliques are not allowed... Didn't we promise that after joining the fraternity, the branches of the school will be gradually cancelled..."

"Regardless of the cat sect, snake sect, or wolf sect, the one that can train students is the most suitable school!" Oakes interjected.

Coral's pretty face showed a relaxed smile, and she exchanged glances with the people around her. "Then in the next month, I will use the formula of the Flying Lion School as a blueprint to study and further optimize it. I need an assistant, and Roy is very suitable. He has a perfect understanding with me."

Leso and Seret glanced at Roy questioningly.

Could this guy be a self-serving person who secretly hid in the laboratory and dated the sorceress day and night?

"Kid, after a month, don't go in with two people and come out with three people."

"Three is not enough, at least ten or eight!" Roy's behavior was different from before. He got into trouble after just a few words of ridicule, and just shook his head with a smile.

In fact, no one can be born from the combination of a witcher and a sorceress.

"Shut up!"

The sorceress was touched by the scar in her heart, and she looked at the bald man displeasedly, like an angry cat.

Then he comforted himself again,

You stupid wretch, you have no idea that your own student is about to risk his life for the second Green Grass Trial.

Making a huge sacrifice for the Witcher Brotherhood!

Only you know the inside story.

Coral took a deep breath, put away her complaints and continued, "Roy and I will try to make Carl's grass trial foolproof. The materials..."

"Don't worry about the materials. I have already collected two sets...and will send them to you later." Cat Vulture said, "Anyway, the mutants in the formula are generally universal...that's it."

……

"Ahem, everyone, is it my turn to arrange work?" Vesemir glanced out the window of the conference room, and a few sneaky little heads instantly got under the window sill, "I found out that these people in the orphanage There are a lot of thorns in the little cub and it needs to be cleaned up."

"How about letting my old bones help?"

He half-closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Being with the children will make me a few years younger. Maybe I can live a few more years."

Everyone looked at this old face with a hint of hope.

"What Master Vesemir said is true. Those five reserve demon hunter apprentices have nowhere to vent their energy, and they are too exuberant." The bald man emphasized his tone and glanced sarcastically at a bunch of cockroaches protruding from the window sill. The black hair rose, "It's time to increase the amount of training...the free time every night is cancelled! It's replaced by a second swordsmanship class."

"Master Vesemir will be your guide!"

The five little boys who were hiding under the window sill and eavesdropping suddenly turned into bitter faces. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes and choked silently.

The sorceress also noticed something and giggled while leaning into the witcher's arms.

……

Then everyone focused on discussing whether to send people to the coast of Povis to find and convince the last few descendants of the Griffin sect.

Vesemir frankly revealed the location of Kael Siren.

But he doesn't recommend immediate action.

"My old friend Kelda is harder and more conservative than the weathered rocks on the mountain...and has a sharp eye, and is not easy to change his mind. We have not achieved anything now, and there is absolutely no way to convince him."

"In short, it is best to wait until the Witcher Brotherhood has trained a few young apprentices before approaching him. ~IndoMTL.com~ Final meeting summary:

Roy and Rita Nied will go to retreat at the foot of the Temple Island tomorrow to conduct the Flying Lion Monster Green Grass Trial, record the experimental data, and pave the way for Karl's trial.

The remaining witchers: Letho and the Oakes brothers, Lambert, and Vesemir took turns teaching students, managing the apothecary, and training Gawain Samsa's men.

Aiden is free to inspect.

The Cat Vulture and Eskar equipped the Bear Pie and Snake Pie armors brought back by Vesemir, prepared vampire oil, entered the sewers of Novigrad, eliminated the monsters lurking in them, collected mutants, and prepared for more Preparing a decoction of green grass.

As for the missing equipment blueprints.

Rita Nied opened the portal and sent Geralt and Kyaan to the outskirts of Velen to find the Griffin Faction blueprint.

Because the Snake Faction and the Cat Faction had a grudge against Mrs. Lin, the Wolf Faction could only go there.
