The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 5: The hospitality of Yharnam people, the simple folk customs of Undead Street

Dang Dang Dang!
On the training ground, the sound of iron hammering continued to be heard.

Lynn and Geralt each held an unsharpened training sword and fought each other quickly.

The two swords collided, and sparks continued to burst out.

The two fought for a long time until Geralt stepped back and put down his sword.

"Yes, judging by your swordsmanship alone, you have already reached the level of a full-fledged demon hunter."

"Lambert is right. You are indeed the best among this batch of new recruits... At least I've never seen anyone master such sharp swordsmanship while still an apprentice."

"Now, let's start teaching you the Dharma Seal."

Lin En also put down his sword and breathed slightly.

Even though he had already mastered the "Wolf School Swordsmanship", through the fierce duel just now, he could still feel that this famous female sorceress had not yet used her full strength.

This is true.

After all, he is the protagonist of the Witcher novels and games.

Although there was a time in Lin En's previous life when he looked down on heroes who were stabbed to death by dung forks.

Until later in his Bloodborne gaming career, he had been killed by every dung fork in Yharnam.

Only then did he realize that a dung fork could actually kill people.

"We demon hunters don't like the complex spells used by warlocks. Instead, we prefer simple spells that can be quickly cast with one hand in battle. These simple spells, which warlocks call cantrips, are the sigils of our demon hunters."

"Although these are tricks that sorcerers despise, if used properly, they can bring great results."

"Next, I will demonstrate them to you one by one."

"First, the Igni Sign."

Geralt made a sigil with his left hand.

next moment.

A stream of fire spurted out from his palm, burning a charred area on the muddy ground of the training ground.

If someone had been standing in front of Geralt earlier, they would undoubtedly have been severely burned by the flames.

"Then there's the Quen Sign."

As he moved, a bright orange shield flashed around Geralt.

"Now, attack me with all your might. Don't hold back. Don't worry, you won't hurt me."

Lynn nodded.

He raised his training sword and slashed down fiercely.

when!
It was like chopping off a thick tower shield. The recoil force made Lin En's palm numb and he almost couldn't hold the weapon.

But the bright orange light shield remained motionless.

Geralt put away the Quen shield and walked forward to ask with concern.

"Are you okay, Lynn?"

Lin En shook her head: "It's okay, my hands are just a little numb."

Geralt carefully examined Lynn's hand and confirmed that it was fine before continuing his explanation.

"Okay, let's continue... Once you release the Quen Sign and your enemy's hands feel numb like you did just now, you can take the opportunity to step forward and kill him."

"But it should be noted that there are two modes of Quen's Seal:"

"A continuous casting like the one I just did. As long as the chaos magic is continuously supplied, the shield will not collapse easily;"

"The other method is to form a shield around you, eliminating the need for continuous mana input. However, the disadvantage is that it breaks down very easily."

"The drawback of the former is that you can't move or attack while continuously casting, and you must maintain concentration. The latter doesn't have this drawback, so you need to carefully consider which mode to use in battle."

"There's also a defensive sigil called Heliotrop. It's the same as Quinn's, except that Heliotrop requires crossing your hands to cast it, and it's specifically designed to defend against magical attacks."

Lynn nodded to show that she understood.

"Very good, let's continue. The third one is the Sign of Arden." Geralt slapped the ground, and several purple lights lit up on the ground. "Once the enemy falls into it, they will be like stuck in a quagmire, and their movements will become slow."

"The Yerden Sign is best used in one-on-many situations. Even a swordsman master would be in great danger if he were alone and surrounded."

"Sometimes a pitchfork stabbed from behind can kill you. Neither demon hunters nor warlocks are invulnerable."

"Therefore, flexibly utilizing the Yerden Seal to expose weaknesses in the previously coordinated enemy is the key to turning the tide of victory."

"In addition, the Yarden Sign can also force monsters like demon spirits to manifest themselves, making it extremely important when dealing with these types of monsters." "Finally, I'd like to demonstrate the Alder Sign."

Geralt slapped a dummy on the training ground.

Bang!
The invisible air wave hit the dummy like a wall.

The dummy made of straw and wood was instantly knocked away and shattered into pieces.

The straw fell like flowers from heaven.

"Well, you've seen the effects of the Alder Seal. Like the Yerden Seal, the Alder Seal is also suitable for dealing with multiple enemies."

"But it's important to note that the power of the Alder Sign will diminish with distance, so you have to keep a good distance."

"Also, the Alder Sign may be less effective against large monsters or enemies wearing heavy armor. This is also something to keep in mind."

"Well, what's going on? What's that expression on your face?"

Geralt touched his face in confusion.

I thought there was something dirty on my face.

Then he heard Lin En say in a dry tone, "The dummy you just knocked away was made by Teacher Vesemir. It took him a whole day."

Geralt's face froze.

How cool was the Alder Seal just now.

How miserable he looks now, picking up straw everywhere.

Lynn helped Geralt pick up the scattered straw.

Then, while Geralt was repairing the dummy, he practiced the sigils on the side.

Let’s start with the Quen Sign.

Among all the seals, only the Quen Seal and Heliotrop Seal are defensive seals.

Some people may think that offense is the best defense, but Lin En believes that only by staying alive can you output.

He concentrated his mind and made the Quen seal.

next moment.

He felt the magic power in his body surge like a tide towards his left hand that was forming the seal, and finally released.

A bright orange shield appeared around him.

It worked, but not quite.

Because this Quen shield flickers, like an old lightbulb with bad contacts.

I'm afraid it will collapse on its own without even any arrows being shot at it.

It's completely incomparable to the effect Geralt just released.

"It's okay. It's like this at the beginning. It's normal to be unable to maintain the stability of the seal. Everyone has gone through this stage. Just practice more and you'll be fine."

Geralt, who was repairing the dummy on the other side, saw this scene and patiently comforted him.

Lynn nodded as well.

Don't be discouraged, keep practicing.

When the sun set, Eskar and Lambert had not returned.

Same thing the next day.

It was not until the third night that Eskar and Lambert finally returned.

At the training ground, Geralt looked at the two returning people and asked, "How is it going? Did our 'friends' from the Cat School get lost in the Blue Mountains?"

"No, we personally gave him a warm send-off from the Blue Mountains, and in return he gave us an international gesture of friendship."

As he spoke, Lambert was about to make that gesture.

But he was quickly stopped by Eskar.

"Lambert, there are children here."

Lin En, who was practicing seals on the side, didn't care.

It’s just the middle finger, it’s not something I haven’t seen before.

What’s the middle finger? He even knows several ways to use the middle finger. Is he proud?
