Geralt was satisfied and returned to his villa in Shangcheng District that Lynn had told him before.
He just opened the gate of the courtyard wall and walked in holding Roach.
Then a little girl trotted out to greet him.
He also bowed to him.
"You are Mr. Geralt, right? Mr. Lynn and Mr. Berengar have been waiting for you for a long time."
Geralt was stunned immediately.
In his decades of career as a witcher.
I have been called a "mutant", a "freak", and a "monster with cat eyes" so many times that I have lost count.
But the number of times I am respected by others like this is pitiful.
Cassia helped him remove the two swords from his back.
The two long swords that the demon hunter could wield at will were still a bit heavy for a child.
Cassia could only hold one weapon with both hands at a time before putting it on the weapon rack.
After Geralt put the muddy boots at the door and put on the indoor shoes Cassia had prepared for him, he led the way.
"Please follow me, Lord Geralt."
The two came to the hall.
I saw Lynn and Berengar placing plates of prepared food on the table.
"You came back at the right time, Geralt. I originally thought that if you didn't come back, I would leave some food for you."
"Cassia, sit down too and we'll eat together."
The girl nodded obediently.
The four of them sat down at the long table.
No one spoke during this period, only the sound of chewing food was heard.
After dinner, Cassia skillfully put the tableware into the basket, and then took the basket to the kitchen to clean it.
Berengar took the initiative to help in the kitchen.
There were only two people left in the hall, Lynn and Geralt.
Geralt glanced in the direction of the kitchen. "Is that child your unexpected son?"
Lynn wiped the table with a piece of cloth and said, "How is that possible? I just took her in."
"Then have you thought about her future? Are you planning to train her to become a witcher?"
"No, women cannot become demon hunters of other schools except School of the Cat. You obviously know this better than me."
"So you want that kid to accept Trial of the Grasses from School of the Cat?"
Lynn stopped wiping the table and looked at Geralt.
"Of course not, Geralt, what are you thinking? I'm not a School of the Bear without emotions. Naturally, I can't just watch and trust my little guy to accept Trial of the Grasses, whose survival rate is only three-tenths."
"It's just that in this rotten era, I will teach her martial arts. She is an elf. Even if she does not become a demon hunter, with her long life, as long as she is willing to study hard, no matter what her talent is, she will have a hand-to-hand combat ability far beyond that of ordinary people."
Geralt breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry."
"I accept your apology."
In fact, it's not just Cassia.
If Lynn encounters another apprentice who is suitable to become a demon hunter in the future, he will treat them carefully.
He knows that the Potion of the Grasses formula of any school is actually defective.
But the degree of defects is different.
That's why the survival rate is so low.
Therefore, he will not let any child receive Trial of the Grasses until the formula of Potion of the Grasses is improved and the survival rate is significantly increased.
Just kidding, Lynn has been caught in the rain himself, how could he tear other people's umbrellas to pieces?
There is not much nightlife in this era.
Even in a city like Novigrad, entertainment at night is nothing more than playing cards, boxing, discussing life with the opposite sex or the same sex by candlelight, etc.
Lynn is not interested in any of these.
After cleaning up the living room, he went back to his room.
When he stood in front of the door of his room, the snarling wolf head badge hanging around his neck suddenly began to tremble violently.
He was startled at first, and then his expression returned to normal.
Push open the door.
Sure enough, I saw a beautiful figure sitting at the only table in my room.
Different from the past, the sorceress did not wear a tight-fitting outfit that facilitated movement. Instead, she put on a dark green deep V dress with golden patterns on it, showing her noble temperament.
"How did you know I was back today?"
"I just know."
Triss snorted proudly.
She would never say that after the first snow melted, she would open a portal every day for almost half a month and teleport from Vizima back to the house of Novigrad.
Just to see if Lynn is back.
"Have you eaten? If not..."
The Witcher's next words were silenced by the sorceress's affectionate kiss.
Lynn instinctively hugged Triss's slender waist.
It wasn't until the latter was out of breath that he let go of the other party.
"Bad guy."
Triss poked Lynn's chest hard with her finger.
Then she took out a notebook from the lady's handbag and put it in Lynn's hand.
"Here, what you want."
"So fast?"
Lynn made no secret of his inner surprise.
Also the language of an ancient race, the difficulty of Elvish (ancient language) is different from that of Dwarf.
The former is at least one level more difficult than the latter.
This is because Dwarven language is not very complex.
Due to the straightforward character of dwarves, as long as you master the common words and grammar of Dwarf, you can almost become an expert in Dwarf.
But the ancient sayings are different.
Because the elves consider themselves to be the most outstanding and noble race, when they invented the Ancient Language, they deliberately made it more difficult to learn and use this language.
To put it simply, it means not speaking human words.
As long as you can use fancy words to decorate your words, you will never be straightforward.
Not to mention that in order to be elegant, a paragraph usually contains various metaphors, allusions, etc.
This means that even if you reach level 8 of Ancient Speech, it will be useless.
You still have to continue studying the culture and history of the elves.
Only by memorizing all those things can you truly understand what these long ears are talking about.
Seeing Lynn's expression of surprise, Triss felt as sweet as drinking honey.
She stayed up late and worked overtime, didn't she just want to see Lynn's current expression?
"Do you have any unfinished work at the Vizima court tonight?"
The sorceress vaguely guessed the reason for the witcher's question, and she couldn't help but show an expectant look on her face.
"No, what do you want to do?"
"Of course I offer my most sincere thanks."
Along with the sorceress's charming smile, the lights in the room were extinguished by the witcher.
Late at night.
Lynn tiptoed out of his room and closed the door gently.
He went to the living room and lit a candle.
By the faint flickering candlelight, I opened the manuscript that Triss had translated into Common Language.
Then I read the entire contents of the manuscript word for word.
The notebook is not heavy, but the amount of information recorded is extremely valuable.
It turns out that this is actually a Phoenix Guard drill manual.
The Phoenix Guard is an elite legion under the command of the Sun Dynasty, the most powerful empire in the long and long history of the elves.
When every elf begins military training, the first lesson he learns is archery.
Only by mastering the skills of using the bow can he become a member of the archer army.
Only the best archers can be selected into the Phoenix Guard.
They are adept at using longbows to shoot arrows with deadly accuracy, allowing each arrow to maim or even kill their enemies, bringing death to their enemies from the air.
The Phoenix Guards have served for longer than many human lifetimes.
Unfortunately, after the death of the last royal family of the Sun Dynasty, civil strife broke out in the struggle for royal power, and the Phoenix Guard was also forced to join the civil war.
These noble warriors no longer throw arrows to defend the country and the people.
Their bodies are stained with the blood of their compatriots.
Since then, the entire Sun Dynasty has been in decline, and was subsequently annexed by other elven city-states, and finally disappeared in the long river of history.
"Arching?"
This manuscript was originally placed in a secret room where gold was stored, so it obviously couldn't be a valuable thing.
But what Lynn didn't expect was that it would be a high-level archery skill that had been lost among elves.
With such a good thing, he will naturally accept everyone who comes.
The advantage of the demon hunter is not only swordsmanship, but also a variety of fighting methods:
Seals, magic potions, alchemy bombs...
Archery can make up for the witcher's shortcomings in long range.
He had been considering whether he should buy a crossbow before.
But now, since you have this Phoenix Guard Manual, it's even better.
So Lynn simply stopped sleeping.
Start studying the Phoenix Guard training methods recorded at the back of the manual.
This study lasted only one night.
When the morning light faded and Cassia prepared breakfast for everyone, she discovered Lynn who had stayed up late studying in the living room.
But she didn't come to disturb the witcher.
Instead, he quietly placed a cup of hot tea and a plate of snacks on the table later, and then left.
After a long while, Lynn closed the notebook and called out the properties panel.
But what makes him regretful is that there are no new skills on the attribute panel.
Lynn is thoughtful.
"It seems that if you want to include it in the attribute panel, just reading the training methods in the manual is not enough, you have to practice it yourself."
He wished he could take a bow and practice in the yard right now.
Unfortunately, there were no additional weapons prepared in the villa, so we had to wait until nine o'clock in the morning, when the blacksmiths and weapon shops in the city opened for business, to buy one.
Only then did Lynn notice the tea and snacks on the table, as well as the thin figure busy in the kitchen.
He ate the breakfast prepared by Cassia, washed the dishes, and went to the stable to feed the horses.
Then he returned to the bedroom with another breakfast prepared by Cassia.
Another moment of tenderness with Triss.
After the sorceress reluctantly returned to Vizima through the portal.
Only then did he catch up on a few hours of sleep in the still warm bed.
When the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, Lynn woke up on time.
I went to the market and bought a hunting bow and enough arrows.
While Geralt went to buy supplies for their trip, Lynn was practicing in the courtyard.
A few hours later, Lynn's efforts finally paid off.
"New skill: Phoenix Archery (Introduction)"
He did not hesitate to allocate attribute points to the newly acquired skills.
"Attribute points:12(30%)→4(30%)"
"Phoenix Archery (Beginner)→Phoenix Archery (Master/Extreme)"
