Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?
22. Gustav Lavarredi (4k)
Generally speaking, Geralt is not the kind of person who waits for a job opportunity to come to his door. His profession is like this. He has to travel all year round, save a little bit of money, and maybe have an injury that is difficult to heal.
.
However, the situation has changed slightly now.
"I'm sorry, sir, your description does not match the lady we found. Please go back."
"At least let me take a look at her!"
The demon hunter took a step forward and blocked the door inside, preventing the middle-aged man in a high-collared robe in front of him from entering the room. His tall figure obviously gave him an advantage at this time, especially those pairs of shoes that could become almost invisible.
Emotionless cat eyes. The middle-aged man swallowed, said nothing more, and left honestly.
"To be honest, He, now I feel like a gangster, just a janitor."
After seeing off the last visitor this morning, Geralt turned around and complained to the mage sitting in the armchair. He Shenyan was originally reading today's Vizima newspaper. After hearing his words, he started to read from those words.
The lieutenant general raised his head.
He looked Geralt up and down and muttered: "...Well, actually it doesn't really look like him."
"What did you say?"
He Shenyan shrugged: "Look, if you really plan to dress yourself up as a gangster, you shouldn't wear this kind of shirt and breeches anymore. I suggest you buy two tight shirts and open the collar.
Then get a tattoo on your chest..."
"Okay, okay." Geralt interrupted his casting. "I know, but I don't want to become a gangster. Seriously, do you think this will be effective?"
"It's only been a day, Geralt. Be patient. We met eight people in one morning. According to this progress, we will find that family sooner or later."
"But what if they don't come to the door at all?"
Geralt came to the living room, and the floor was thumped by his boots. He pulled up a chair and sat down, then picked up a pot of cold water and drank it all. He coughed twice before continuing: "...
....If they think that poor woman is a burden and a 'family scandal', won't we cut off the clue?"
"No." He Shenyan shook his head.
He said calmly: "There are a total of forty-three noble families living in Vizima City, and there are one hundred and twenty-three relatively wealthy merchants. Even if the instigator has a ghost in his heart and dares not come, I can use the method to rule it out.
I can't find them... Well, I don't have to search with my mental tentacles to solve this kind of thing, but I feel a lot better."
As he spoke, he lowered his head thoughtfully: "Maybe I did rely too much on them before..."
Geralt rolled his eyes. He had no intention of learning from He Shenyan's behavior of making progress through reflection. If he had, he wouldn't have been unable to save any money over the years.
.
After noon, around one o'clock in the afternoon, footsteps were heard again on the stairs, which seemed a little heavy. After a while, their door was knocked. The person who knocked on the door used a strong hand, and the whole door was
There was a bang. Geralt stood up, went over and opened the door.
Standing in front of him was an extremely strong man.
His shoulders were extremely broad, and his loose robes were stretched tightly. He had short brown hair, a high nose, and gloomy eyes. With just one glance, Geralt concluded that this man had a military background, and his level was not low. Then
Short hair is only worn by people in the military, so that they won't get heat rash when wearing helmets in the summer.
"Sorry to bother you." Unlike his gloomy expression, the man's words seemed very polite. "My name is Gustave La Valetti."
"I noticed the information you published in newspapers and on various notice boards..."
He bowed slightly to make himself less intimidating. The man lowered his head and whispered to Geralt: "Can I go in and take a look to confirm whether that poor lady is my missing sister?"
"Let him in, Geralt."
The witcher turned slightly to let the man in. He noticed that the guy's black robe had a bulging waist, and he couldn't help but be more vigilant.
Gustave walked into the room and happened to see He Shenyan putting down the newspaper and sitting in an armchair. The mage made a gesture to him, indicating that the latter should sit down. At the same time, he asked: "Gustave La.
Mr. Varetti, your last name is very interesting."
"It's just a surname, not worth mentioning." Gustave remained calm and humble, with a low attitude. "Sir, I can see that you should be a noble like me, right? Mr. from the East,
I beg you, let me take a look at her."
He resolutely uttered a short sentence: "Just one glance."
"Your request is legitimate, Mr. Gustave. But I'm afraid it's not convenient for the lady to meet you."
He Shenyan lied skillfully: "She has tormented me and my companions so much in the past few days. We even called in several nuns from the goddess Melitelli, but they couldn't make her get better. Goddess bless them.
, those nuns said that it is better not to let her meet strangers in the near future, unless she wakes up a little bit."
"However, I can let you take a look at her through the door." He Shenyan pointed to a closed door in the house, with a small window for delivering food. "In order to deliver food to her, we
We specially made this small window so that you can take a look there and confirm whether it is her or not."
"Thank you." Gustav said in a hoarse voice. Then he stood up and walked towards the door.
Geralt found that his worries were completely unnecessary. Gustav was obviously a man of rules. He had no intention of breaking in. He stood in front of the door, bent down, and gently opened the low food delivery port.
He opened it slightly, and for a tall man like him, it was extremely difficult to peek through the mouth to see the person inside.
However, he seemed to be very patient. Gustave slowly and quietly observed the woman inside.
She huddled in the corner, with her back to the door. Domestic garbage was scattered on the floor, and some food was spilled on the wall. Her dress was dirty, as was her black hair. She hugged her thin shoulders and huddled there.
The small corner... looks like a baby.
When Gustav stood up again, he could barely keep himself standing. The man, as strong as a mountain, was breathing heavily and rapidly, like a furnace—a swaying furnace. Geralt saw his expression.
, needless to say, the demon hunter understood a lot in an instant.
"It's her..." Gustave whispered with a pale face. "Sir, I'm sure, that's my sister."
He forced a smile and maintained the most basic courtesy. Without any need to say anything, he reached for his bulging waist. What he took out was not a weapon, but a full money bag. Judging from the size,
Geralt conservatively estimated that it was at least six hundred orens in size.
If you were just looking for someone, the reward would be quite generous, but Gustav did not stop there. He solemnly handed the money bag to He Shenyan with both hands, and continued on, regardless of whether he accepted it or not.
Next he said: "There is more money, sir. I will give you whatever you want. I have only one request."
His attitude is very low and sincere. There is almost nothing to fault. Moreover, Gustav has this confidence - his surname is the source of his confidence. No matter how much money he asks for, this Oriental can afford it.
And he also believed that the other party was not a person who was ignorant of current affairs.
"I cannot comply with your request, Mr. Gustave."
Facing the money bag he handed over, He Shenyan shook his head. Regardless of Gustave's change in expression, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the door was knocked open with a bang. Gustav looked back,
There was no one inside. The food remnants and traces on the walls had all disappeared.
That room is now tidy and clean.
Even Gustav's voice was trembling: "What is this?"
"It's just a trick. Your sister is still feeding corpse babies with her own blood in the sewers."
"Corpse...corpse...corpse..." Gustave's face became even paler. He couldn't even say a complete word, which was extremely funny.
"Now -" He Shenyan made a gesture. "-Sit down, Mr. Gustave. I think you have a lot to say."
----------------------------------------
After listening to the 'story' told by Gustav, Geralt had only one idea in his mind.
You nobles really know how to play.
He is not a witcher in the traditional sense. In his career, he has dealt with many sorceresses and kings, and he naturally knows how lowly those who claim to have noble blood are. But this may be Gerald
For the first time, Te felt that his evaluation of them was biased.
What Gustav's family did to him and his sister was simply...
brute.
The nobles hope to keep their bloodlines pure for themselves and their descendants, so they will choose some less secular and less moral methods to ensure that each generation has a pure-blooded heir. And Gustave Varetti and his
My sister happened to be chosen to take on this responsibility.
——The real situation is actually another matter.
The surname La Valedi belongs to Foltest, the current king of Temeria. Geralt had a chance encounter with him in 1256. But that is another story. However, about Foltest
King Ste, we have another story to tell.
He is a hopeless womanizer, and his private life was extremely chaotic when he was a prince. He fell in love with his biological sister, and even wanted to marry her and become the queen after the death of the old king. For this reason, he even rejected the marriage with Reda.
The marriage contract made by the Niya royal family. This matter was strongly dissatisfied by his mother and the nobles.
However, Foltest insisted on having his own way - and the ending was not very happy. His sister died in childbirth, and the child was born a stillborn baby. Foltest buried the two people in the catacombs of Temeria Palace.
in the sarcophagus.
After the funeral, everything went smoothly for seven years until one full moon night. The palace suddenly began to be filled with roars and screams, and it was chaos. The dead baby grew up in the sarcophagus and turned into a vampire.
bird.
Then, there is the story of the arrival of the witcher.
Due to Foltest's actions, the "blood purity" of the La Valette family was broken. As the king and the most prominent person in the family, he failed to give birth to a pure child. Therefore,
The old people in the La Valetti family set their sights on the Gustave branch.
Gustav did not love his sister - I mean, there was no love between men and women. He was a normal person and an upright person. He had always wanted to join the army since he was young and worked hard for it. His sister also had
The person I like, however, on the night before Gustav joined the army, some things were changed forever.
He and his sister were drugged. The magic elixir specially provided by the warlock has been proven to be extremely effective for hundreds of years.
The next morning, Gustav woke up with a splitting headache. He had already arrived at the military camp. He had no idea what had happened. Until he returned home from the army, he found that his sister was missing. There was even panic at home.
After his repeated questioning...those people told him the whole truth.
At first, Gustav wanted to commit suicide. But later, he changed his mind - even if he was going to die, he had to take his sister back and die again.
He grew up with a normal education and could not accept this kind of thing at all. When he returned from joining the army, he learned that he and his sister had a child at some point, and the child was born with a deformity. The deformed child was thrown into the sewer.
Because of this incident, my sister suffered from mental disorder for three years and ran away from home on a rainy night.
His father died of a heart attack because of this incident, but Gustav never went to pay homage to his grave.
At this time, this strong man was sitting on the sofa, with tears in his eyes and trembling shoulders: "I don't forgive him...! Never! He completely ruined our lives for a stupid thing!
"
Tragic story.
Geralt shook his head sympathetically and crossed his arms in front of his chest. The witcher's posture was very relaxed, but his heart was heavy. When he glanced at He Shenyan's face, he knew that the latter was actually not that good.
happy.
But what can they do? This is a bad debt, or a family matter.
"I've finished, sir." Gustave sat on the sofa with his head lowered. After saying these words, he remained silent.
He Shenyan sighed and complained silently in his heart, the Middle Ages were too feudal, you should at least get some capital! Especially this is a magical Middle Ages... No wonder that woman can get close to the corpse baby, her abnormal brain
Li probably regarded all the corpse babies as her own children, and this reaction made the corpse babies also regard her as their mother.
"Stand up, Mr. Gustav. Go home, get a sword, and wear some leather armor for easy mobility. At three o'clock, we will meet in front of the entrance to the sewers of Vizima." He made a gesture.
Gesture, said briefly. "It's time to bring your sister back. My friend still has an unfinished commission."
"I would rather not do that commission," Geralt said.

The next chapter is expected to be updated in the evening. The store is hosting a banquet, so I went to help.
