The Divine Hunter Chapter 29: Back to Sintra
Time quietly came to mid-September 1262.
Roy spent another month in retreat in Nuo City.
During this period, Master Alchemist Kalkstein overcame a difficulty in improving the Green Grass Trial that had troubled Rita Nied for a long time.
If this research efficiency is maintained, in the first half of next year, reserve demon hunter apprentices will be able to use new universal prodrugs to further improve the trial survival rate, and they will no longer have to worry about which school of grass decoction to choose in the future. .
The "Advanced Vampire Decoction" project that Leisuo and Keyan participated in is also progressing steadily. After the two finish their teaching work every day, they will immediately go to the laboratory under the temple island and work with the alchemist master until the early morning.
However, Gao Sui's body is full of secrets...blood, organs, and mutant tissues. Each part is an extremely complex "maze" that requires a lot of time to analyze and characterize, and there will not be much progress in the short term.
This month, Cohen gave everyone a surprise.
The "old boy" of the Griffin sect got rid of the dilemma of love, and returned to the inseparable state of first love with Igesena.
Out of gratitude and some other reasons, he agreed to Roy's request and made a special trip to Gawain's house every afternoon to teach the witchers the skills of double seals.
No one can resist the temptation of the secret method of the Griffin Sect...
The ten demon hunters who stayed in the school, including Roy, were all obsessed with it.
This secret skill of two-handed spellcasting does not pay attention to talent, but only the proficiency of the seal...
Serrit, Vesemir, and Geralt learned the fastest...
Roy, who has outstanding elemental talents but low skill level, has become the one holding him back, and is often laughed at mercilessly by Lambert.
A month later, he barely mastered the two-handed spell-casting skills of seven kinds of seals... The secret method of the Griffin Sect was upgraded from lv5 to lv6.
The power of the seal released with two hands is twice as strong as that with one hand, but the magic power consumption also increases from 20 points to 40 points.
And the release speed is much slower than the one-handed seal. If it is to be used in actual combat, Roy is still a lot behind.
……
At this time, two months have passed since Dandelion and Oakes left for Toussaint.
But there was no news from the two of them. They seemed to be completely addicted to the gentle foreign country, and everyone felt faintly worried.
……
Another early morning, black cotton candy-like cumulonimbus clouds hung in the gloomy sky.
Weeping willows stained with dewdrops gently brushed against my cheeks.
Roy and Geralt stood in the courtyard of Gawain's house, dressed uncharacteristically - a blue round-necked tunic with a crocodile leather belt, and red tight trousers with boots.
Weapons and pendants are stowed away and carefully groomed.
Ignoring the color of their pupils, they are just two young nobles, and they maintain their figures better than other nobles who indulge in drinking and women.
The sorceress was putting a disposable portal into Roy's hand, biting her ear and explaining something.
Roy nodded from time to time, seeming to be listening intently, but other images flashed through his mind.
This month.
Triss contacted him twice through the telescope, and according to his strict time schedule from 1 to 5 pm every day - it was impossible to have any interaction with Coral.
The efficacy of the mandrake completely faded away, and Triss's tone and demeanor finally returned to normal, just like chatting between friends, talking about the current situation and the changes in Vizima - Princess Yada didn't know where she came from. The message received alerted Foltest to the threat from Nilfgaard.
At the same time, Keira Metz submitted Grufeld's diary.
The two-pronged approach finally attracted the attention of the King of Temeria. After discussing with the Royal Council, he made an unprecedented decision - to send scouts to Mount Amer to explore the reality of the Southern Empire...
This gave Roy a surprise.
However, it is not yet known whether Temeria will eventually intervene in this battle.
……
Three wolf witchers blocked Geralt.
"Seriously, man," Lambert said seriously, stroking his light black hair back, "Take me with you to Sintra. If that old woman dares to object, we will secretly The little princess takes back Novigrad!"
"Anyway, according to Roy's prophecy, that small country will not last long and will perish... Don't worry about offending it!"
Askar shook his head and said angrily, "Calanthe's Cintra is doomed to perish, and you still forcefully kidnap someone's granddaughter?"
"We can't afford to play tricks on a poor old woman, there must be a gentler way!"
Askar recalled the origin of the terrible scars on his face and said with deep emotion, "You must never force the child of destiny...otherwise you will be severely punished by fate!"
"Didn't you hear Geralt? That old woman is like a stone in the toilet... How about we make a bet on all the pastimes this month, and whoever loses pays the bill - I bet Calanthe will never hand it over. Shirley!"
"What are your plans?" Vesemir glanced at his eldest disciple.
He just recently heard that this guy has a girl of destiny.
For all these years, Geralt kept his secret tightly and never revealed it to his companions.
The white wolf's eyes turned to the open space beside the alder forest outside the fence of Gawain's house.
A group of dwarves recommended by Cleaver the Butcher were clanging hammers and shovels there, building houses with wood in preparation for the expansion of students in the coming year.
The prototypes of three houses can be vaguely seen.
"Roy and I discussed that we should meet Calanthe first... We knew clearly that she would have a tragic end in the future, but if we didn't remind her, we would definitely be complained by Ciri in the future."
"He and I can do this trip alone. Too many people will cause unnecessary vigilance!"
The white wolf glanced at the dark and unclear sky, and stretched out his right hand to touch the sky. There was no wind and it was slightly muggy. The environment became extremely depressing, making people feel a sense of depression in their chests.
"It's almost time for us to set off, otherwise the heavy rain will fall."
"Boom!"
There is a strong wind in the yard of Gawain's house!
A square door inlaid with gold edges emerged from the void.
A group of children lay beside the window and looked around.
The two waved their hands and jumped into the portal one after the other.
……
After almost three seconds of dizziness.
The two demon hunters opened their eyes and suddenly entered a luxurious guest room with a velvet bed, a luxurious dressing mirror, a pile of colorful lipsticks, and an astonishingly large wardrobe from the quiet wilderness.
"Ugh..." Geralt bent over and held his knees and retched. He slightly recovered from the strong discomfort caused by the teleportation. He looked around and asked with admiration, "How many safe houses does Rita Nidd have?" ?"
Roy pushed the black hair from his forehead to his ears, put on his sunglasses, and rubbed the Gorfen Harrier in the hood soothingly, "As far as I know, Yennefer has a lot of safe houses. ."
"Also often used for dating."
"Enough is enough! Can't prophecies be used on the right path? Don't keep mentioning her to me and get going!"
……
The streets of Sintra are exceptionally spacious, and the hard bluestone roads are no less impressive than those in Nuovo. The surrounding buildings are simple and elegant. The walls of the houses are made of high and thick stones with clear textures. There are no unnecessary decorative patterns on the windows of the houses.
The refreshing sea breeze carrying the taste of sea salt blows from the west.
Two witchers walked across the long street, looking around.
Because it is adjacent to the sea and maintains a good alliance with the Skellige Islands at sea, the people of Sintra are more or less infected with the toughness of the islanders. You can see turbans and sleeveless shorts everywhere. He was wearing clothes, revealing two big arms, and his cheeks were roughened and reddened by the sea breeze.
There are also carefree women with high chests.
They walked towards the majestic castle on a lonely cliff on the coast just north of the city of Sintra.
I discovered something unusual along the way. ~IndoMTL.com~ Compared to the past, there were surprisingly more armed soldiers in the streets and alleys at this time. They walked through the long streets with "clack-clack" in armor, patrolling repeatedly, and their eyes were alert, as if they were protecting something important. figure.
The two later discovered the reason when they observed the suspension bridge on the moat outside the gate of Sintra Castle.
There are numerous flags hanging on both sides of the suspension bridge. The flags are fluttering in the sea breeze, but the stretched pattern is not the three lions flag with a blue background of Sintra——
Soden’s octagonal ruby flag, Verdon’s intertwined black and yellow square flag, Brugge’s green background and white cross flag…even the flags of Leiria, Livia, and Toussaint…
"So the Cintra Alliance Conference hasn't ended yet?" Roy looked thoughtfully at the row of soldiers with crossed halberds in front of the gate, "We have to find a way to sneak in."
"Just let me," Geralt straightened his round collar and smoothed out a coat of arms on his chest - an advancing black bear with a girl in sky blue clothes on his back, " From the Nameless Land, Lord Ravix of Four Horns clears the way for you."
