In the source world of the "Witcher" game series.
Olivia, who was only three years old, was alone in the library of the Kingdom of Cintra. She activated a certain "book-eating" skill, eagerly absorbing the knowledge of this source world.
In fact, just from the structure of the books, this world's paper-making technology and printing technology were quite advanced. These books were obviously not hand-copied, but printed. Of course, there were hand-copied books, but they were all relatively precious ancient books.
In just one week, Olivia had mastered the common language of this world. The old scholar who taught her had called her a genius. At the same time, her elders were pleasantly surprised. In fact, she had mastered the language in just one day. Of course, this was because the game system had a built-in translation function …
However, after completing the side quest, Language Proficiency, her speech became more fluent. At the same time, she also received EXP as a reward. Rather than calling it EXP, it was more appropriate to call it Skill Points, which could be used to add points. For example, she learned a Fireball Spell. It might take a long time to become more proficient, but as long as she had enough Skill Points, she could instantly max out her proficiency.
Therefore, Olivia had an instinctive obsession with completing the game's quests. Anyway, accumulating more skill points and using them at critical moments would definitely bring about miraculous results.
In her skill list, some skills had already been maxed out. For example, "Oriental Swordsmanship," "Musical Talent," "Gaming Skills," "Learning Concentration," "In-Depth Reading," "Acting" …
That's right, these corresponded to her iconic character cards. Other than that, there were also two skills that had very high proficiency. To max out their proficiency, who knew how many skill points would have to be spent. These two skills were "Cat Psychic" and "Riding Intuition".
Olivia thought that this game system was really well designed. You could not race cars in this world, but you could race horses. You could also fight. As for "Gaming Skills," that was the skill of playing cards. There seemed to be a popular card game called "Gwent" in this world …
Ermion had reason to suspect that skill points represented the source power of the previous supernatural world. They could be used to "extend the life" of highly popular character cards that had a time limit. They could also be used to inject the "Two Dimensional Gate," shortening its cooldown time, so that she could frequently go to the literary world to obtain character cards.
Therefore, Ermion was very focused on completing quests. For example, she was currently completing the quest of "Understanding the History of the Continent." She was addicted to "eating books." Incidentally, the books that she had "eaten" would automatically be saved in the "Books Bar" of the game system. She could read them at any time in the future.
"The boundaries of the known human world in the Sorcerer World are: West – West Ocean; North – Dragon Mountain Range; South – Amer Mountain Range; East – Koraz Desert and Harlan Tribe's territory; South – Demigod Kingdom of Hannu and Barsa."
"The world's earliest intelligent inhabitants were gnomes and halflings. Dwarves, elves, and humans were all outsiders who arrived one after another. Among them, elves were teleported here, while humans were the product of the convergence of the celestial sphere 1500 years ago. The arrival of the dwarves and elves was relatively mild, while the arrival of the humans was accompanied by conquest and slaughter. Magic and monsters were also the product of the convergence of the celestial sphere. "
"Although the humans of the Northern Kingdoms and the Southern regions such as Nilvgaard belong to the same species, they are all products of the convergence of the celestial sphere. However, their origins are completely different. The ancestors of the current humans of the North landed in the Pontar River Delta after being exiled 1000 years ago. The human kingdoms of the North are: Redania, Temeria, Aeon, Kodwen, Korvir and Povis, Sidaris, Humphries Alliance, Cintra, Lelia and Rivia, Skellige, Verden, Brugg, Kerak. "
…
Without a doubt, it was not easy for the average person to completely understand the history of the continent. However, for Olivia, who had a lot of tricks up her sleeves, it was just a matter of a day or two. She had devoted almost all of her time to learning. At the age of three, she had earned the title "The Book of Cintra." However, such a title was destined to be less famous than the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms." With her beauty, it was only a matter of time.
In this era, titles were very popular. For example, her maternal grandmother, Queen Calanthe, was known as the "Lioness of Cintra." She was beautiful, brave, and ruled with an iron fist. She was now the de facto Queen of Cintra. Her former husband had passed away. Her current husband was a warrior from the Tursek Family from the Skellige Isles. He was the brother of King Bran, the owner of the Skellige Isles. He was the current King of Cintra, but only in name.
Compared to Olivia, the "Lioness of Cintra" Queen Calanthe obviously liked Cirilla more. She might have thought that Cirilla was more like her. Anyway, she was very "reckless." She deserved the title "Lioness of Cintra." Besides, Cirilla was also the eldest granddaughter. She was naturally higher in the line of succession than Olivia.
For Olivia, who aspired to the throne of Empress, Cirilla seemed to be an obstacle. However, she believed in the saying, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Only those who fought for it could own it. She did not want a divided empire. Instead, she wanted to build a unified, centralized empire. This was the Chinese way of thinking, completely different from the Western way of thinking.
If a Western author had gained inspiration from this source world and created a work called "The Wizard," he might have been surprised to write a female character named "Olivia." Of course, that was if she had accomplished the unparalleled feat of unifying the world.
While Olivia was still engrossed in her book, two people in the library were observing her while discussing something in a low voice.
These two people were Emhyr and Vilgefortz. The former was Olivia's father, and the latter was his "confidant." He was extremely strong and could "prophesy." He was a source sorcerer who practiced both magic and martial arts. He was a member of the Sorcerer's Association. He was talented and resourceful. He was famous throughout the entire Sorcerer World. If this was a Wuxia world, then Vilgefortz would be the world's number one master! He was known as "Lord Vilgefortz." Unfortunately, he was not a good person …
The two were already plotting how to leave Cintra, return to Nilfgaardian in the south, and reclaim the throne.
Emhyr, who was bent on restoring his country, was not very close to his wife and daughter. They were more like tools to him. However, his second daughter, Olivia, was a "genius." He felt that this daughter was worth nurturing. As for Cirilla, according to the "Law of Surprise," she was destined to belong to the legendary witcher – Geralt of Rivia.
"Vilgefortz, why don't you teach her yourself?" Emhyr suddenly said.
Vilgefortz was stunned by Emhyr's sudden suggestion. He had never cared about Olivia. All he cared about was Cirilla. She was the only one who possessed the incomparably precious "Elder Blood." Vilgefortz had been so eager to help Emhyr restore his kingdom. Other than gaining power and wealth when Emhyr became Emperor, he had another goal – Cirilla's "Elder Blood." That represented power!
What about Olivia?
Wasn't she just a passerby?
Why would he, "Lord Vilgefortz," fall in love with someone as ordinary as her?
