Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

"She's okay...it's just a miracle."

Andrea said in disbelief: "Aside from malnutrition and mental stimulation, this lady did not suffer any injuries. Teacher, didn't you say she stayed with a group of corpse babies?"

"yes."

"Then she...?"

"Perhaps it's because she really regarded those corpse babies as her own children." He Shenyan smiled, but he did not tell Andrea the truth he obtained from Gustav's memory.

This woman had had a miscarriage, more than once.

As for the reason?

ha.

"Thank you, Andrea. I hope this will not disturb your work." He patted the apprentice on the shoulder and motioned for her to follow him out.

Andrea smiled sheepishly. When she smiled, a slight dimple appeared on her lips: "I'm not very busy today, teacher. But I just heard you say that you want to talk to Mr. Geralt.

To travel around the world?”

"It's not traveling around the world." He Shenyan corrected her. "To be precise, it's killing people all over the world."

He was satisfied when he saw that his apprentice's expression suddenly turned strange - good, that's it.

He Shenyan finally understood why Gu Yi liked to keep half of his words.

----------------------------------------

That night, they met with Regis in the 'Big Barrel Drinking'. For some reason, Geralt always felt that the old vampire's face had become much paler. When he asked this question, Regis revealed that

gave an awkward smile.

"Well, Geralt. Although high-level vampires will do the kind of things you like, I am not one of them. Many years ago, I completely gave up that dissolute lifestyle. And my friend did not

It’s not an old acquaintance, it’s just a simple old friend. Moreover, even if we have to do it, our energy is much better than that of humans.”

"It seems that some people use themselves to judge others." He Shenyan said in a strange tone from the side.

"Then your face...?" Geralt seemed to be obsessed with this issue. "It seems that this is not my imagination, Regis, your face has really turned a lot pale."

Under his repeated questioning, Regis finally reluctantly spit out the truth: "Well, it's just because I gave her part of my blood."

"Does this behavior mean anything?"

"Higher vampires don't suck each other's blood, but they can draw strength from the blood. She helped me once, and I owed a favor, so I had to use this method to repay it."

"This is the first time I've heard this statement." Geralt nodded thoughtfully, raised his glass and drank the beer in one gulp.

Today's 'big barrel drinking' was particularly lively, and it seemed to be related to Zoltan's new batch of Vizima champions.

Although this kind of wine is named after Vizima, it is not a wine that is often drunk locally. Just behind Geralt's table, there was a group of sailors from afar stepping on the table and singing loudly.

"Oh! The passionate siren!" One of the young men's voice was particularly loud. "She took away my heart, my people, and finally my life!"

A group of them jumped up and down on the table, making the sturdy table shake. In other places, this kind of behavior might be cursed by the boss, but here, Zoltan couldn't wait to join in.

The dwarf even held his hands and tapped them with his feet. He was very happy.

"Falling in love with the sea! Nothing good will come of it!" the young man ended on a high note. Geralt couldn't tell what the tune was, but he nodded.

The demon hunter turned around and said to He Shenyan and Regis, "Do you two know that there are actually more than just monsters in the sea that pretend to hunt humans?"

"oh?"

Geralt began his story.

"It was a small coastal country called Brímwold. I met a Duke there. His name was Agloval, and he was the ruler there. This Duke has a special taste. He doesn't like food.

A man with two legs fell in love with a mermaid he met while going to sea."

The witcher told the two of them very seriously and solemnly, "It's a real mermaid."

He raised a finger: "The Duke wanted to convince her to let her come to the land to live with him. However, he did not understand the ancient language and could not communicate with his lover. So he found me."

Geralt proudly puffed out his chest and put on a happy face. He picked up the thick wine glass in front of him and took a long sip. The taste of the Vizima Champion obviously made him very comfortable.

"The Duke entrusted me to go out and communicate with the mermaid named Xiennaz. I must say that communicating with her was not pleasant. She cursed the Duke in the sea as someone who was unwilling to make changes for her.

, a cheapskate who came to live with her in the sea, and the Duke also scolded her on the boat.”

"On the one hand, I had to translate her words into a less... irritable common language and tell the Duke, and on the other hand, I had to worry about whether I would laugh. Because Siennaz said that every time the Duke was with her on the rocks,

The rocks always scratched her scales when she went to 'Have a Good Time,' and she didn't like the Duke's time."

Geralt coughed, looked at Regis who was suppressing his laughter, and said seriously: "Laugh if you want, Regis, didn't you see that the mage over there was already smiling?

"

The vampire finally laughed.

"Anyway, I have to say, it was not a pleasant conversation. For the three of us. After that, I stayed there for a while and discovered that there was an aquatic race on the bottom of the local coast. They also

Having mastered the art of forging metal, everyone had weapons. They were responsible for several bizarre deaths among local pearl divers.”

"It happened that the Duke was very worried about this matter at that time. He was driven by his failed love and planned to attack the underwater race. I had to run to prevent the outbreak of war. No matter what, I didn't want to see the war engulf people's peaceful lives."

"What happened in the end?" Zoltan, who appeared at their table at some point, shouted impatiently. "Tell me, Geralt, hurry up! Did they finally get married?!"

"Don't worry, Zoltan."

Geralt raised his hand and took a sip of Vizima Champion unhurriedly, showing his confidence: "Of course, at the last moment when the war broke out, Siennaz appeared. She gave up on her

With her tail, she used magic to turn herself into a human being. With bare feet, she walked towards her lover with red eyes and agreed to her proposal."

Regis and Zoltan let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Because you told a good story, Geralt, I will give you a menu tonight!" Zoltan patted his chest proudly and said, but was rejected by He Shenyan.

"It's better to say goodbye, Zoltan. We are leaving tomorrow, so I feel a little sorry to ask you to treat me again."

Hearing this, the dwarf's eyes widened.

"What did you say?!"

His voice even surpassed the combined volume of everyone in the tavern.
