"I'll make a long story short. I don't know the name of the witcher I once met because he didn't report his family name. I can only identify him from the witcher badge he wears, and he should be from School of the Viper."
"Besides, don't ask me where he went. I haven't seen him since he left this room."
"So, if you don't mind, can you start your work? If I haven't misunderstood your purpose..."
Wearing the badge of School of the Viper, he appears in Toussaint again.
It is almost certain that Lynn should be one of Letho, Auckes, and Serrit.
At this point in time, School of the Viper's base camp should have been occupied by the usurper emperor Nilfgaard.
Unlike the kings of the north, this usurper emperor had extraordinary vision and mind.
It is true that a witcher's role on the battlefield is limited.
But what if we form a team of 100 demon hunters?
Or even be bolder and form a witcher group?
Isn't that a survival rate of three out of ten?
It sounds like it's really low.
Is the ruling class afraid of death?
When they see the orphans being tortured to death by Trial of the Grasses, no one really thinks they will shed a tear, right?
Adopt orphans who have to wander for various reasons from all over the empire. Even if only three out of ten orphans survive, wouldn't it be easy to form a 3,000-strong demon hunter army?
Then, give them 3,000 sets of top-notch knight equipment.
Where is the witcher?
These are three thousand humanoid tanks.
If you can have such a fighting force at hand, why worry about not being able to sweep Northern Kingdoms?
The usurper emperor Nilfgaard thought this way, so he gave School of the Viper two choices:
Join, or perish.
School of the Viper chose the latter.
Then, School of the Viper no longer has a home.
The demon hunter Fringilla mentioned by School of the Viper may have also heard about the situation of the duchess, so he came to take a look.
It turned out that the actual situation was much more difficult than expected.
Then he greased the soles of his feet and ran away.
He may still be at Toussaint.
It may also have gone to other places.
However, as Fringilla said, this matter can be left for later.
So the three of them came to the big velvet bed.
Lynn Looking at the emaciated woman on the hospital bed, Caroberta The duchess's face was like a witcher who drank a lot of magic potion, her face was covered with black lines.
This is indeed more like a symptom of severe poison in the body.
But what School of the Viper is good at is how to use toxins.
If even the School of the Viper demon hunter left directly, it means that the duchess was not poisoned.
But the problem is that he doesn't look like the Duchess is cursed.
Moreover, when it comes to knowledge about curses, warlocks actually have more knowledge than demon hunters.
For example, in the original novel, Geralt lifted the curse on Princess Adda, the daughter of King Foltest. However, because the knowledge of how to lift the curse was incomplete, Princess Adda actually risked turning back into a monster again.
In fact, in The Witcher 1, some malicious nobles did take advantage of this and turned Princess Adda back into a monster.
If it wasn't a curse or poison, then there was nothing he and Geralt could do to help.
"Your Excellency Regis?"
I wonder who else here has a solution.
Then there may be only this high-level vampire who has lived for more than four hundred years.
Regis is indeed Regis.
There are so many famous doctors Toussaint and Nilfgaard who can't even see the toxins. He has only been in this room for less than ten minutes and he has already made a preliminary judgment.
"Obviously, this is caused by demonic power."
In the audience hall.
Earl Raymond holds a wine glass in his hand.
The wine glass contains Toussaint's most famous wine "Est Est".
After listening to the servant's report, Earl Raymond looked calm.
"So, they just stayed in Her Royal Highness the Duchess's ward for less than ten minutes and then left in a hurry?"
"Yes."
"Didn't say anything?"
The servant said respectfully.
"They only talked to Ms. Fringilla. One of them, the hairdresser with a very bald head, said that Her Highness the Duchess's condition was caused by some demonic power."
"Then the young witcher took another witcher with milky white hair and the barber doctor and left without looking back."
The servant raised his head cautiously and glanced at Earl Raymond's face.
"Even though Ms. Fringilla and Master Artorius are working hard to maintain the life of Her Highness the Duchess, Her Highness the Duchess is losing weight day by day. It seems that these are the only days left..."
"My lord, if Her Highness the Duchess is not here, Her Highness Anarietta and Her Highness Syanna are still young, and a powerful nobleman will definitely be needed to act as their agent in government affairs."
"Both Your Highnesses have the blood of the Duke family flowing in their bodies, as long as..."
Before the servant could finish speaking, the wine glass containing Est Est was dropped heavily on his forehead.
The wine glass broke.
Drinks and blood were shed together.
But Earl Raymond seems to feel that it is not enough to relieve the hatred.
He kicked the servant hard in the stomach again.
"Asshole, you can say such things?! You don't know your identity! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again!"
The servant clutched his stomach and hurriedly got up from the ground and escaped from the audience hall.
Earl Raymond was the only one left in the huge audience hall.
The light illuminated his uncertain face, and it was impossible to tell what was going on in his heart.
On the other side, Lynn and his group had left Beauclair and were speeding away in a certain direction.
"Demons refer to those beings from other time and space planes or worlds. They can exist in their own form, or possess animals or intelligent creatures."
"There is a spell to summon demons called 'Goetia'. This is a spell that is strictly prohibited by Brotherhood of Sorcerers."
"Demons don't seem to be a single species or race, but a general term for a class of creatures with common characteristics, because each of them is very different from each other."
Riding on the galloping horse, Lynn turned to look at Regis.
"You seem to know a lot about demons?"
Regis said, "I have dealt with one of them before. Its name is "Master Mirror" Gaunt O'Dimm. Of course, this is not its real name. The devil will never tell others its real name, because knowing the name means that its weakness will be known."
He paused and continued, "It once proposed conditions that were very tempting to me at the time. Even now I don't know how I resisted the temptation at that time."
