Vesemir soon found out about Cirilla and Olivia's identities. He could not help but tease his disciple for being so popular with the ladies. Other witchers brought back children through the "Law of Surprise" were usually boys. Then, the "Trial of the Grasses" would naturally follow.
Girls were not suitable for the "Trial of the Grasses." Besides, Cirilla and Olivia were special. They were not orphans.
The "Trial of the Grasses" might not sound like much, but it was a very cruel process. Apprentices who could not survive the trial could only die in agony. Those who survived would gain extraordinary agility and strength. The survival rate was only three out of ten.
The words that recorded the process of the "Trial of the Grasses" were bloody — —
"… On the third day, except for a boy who had just turned ten, all the other children died. He was agitated by the sudden madness, and immediately fell into a deep coma. His eyes were dull, and his hands were constantly grabbing his clothes or waving them in the air, as if he was trying to grab a quill. His breathing became heavier and heavier. Cold sweat broke out on his body, and his skin became wet, sticky, and stinky. Then, another drug was injected into the boy's veins, and he had another seizure. This time, the symptoms were nosebleeds, violent coughing, and finally vomiting. The boy collapsed completely, and he lay motionless. Over the next two days, his symptoms did not improve. The boy's skin was soaked in sweat, and then gradually dried and started to heat up. His pulse became intermittent, but maintained its normal intensity. He did not wake up, nor did he scream. Finally, on the seventh day, the boy finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were like those of a poisonous snake … "
In fact, because the "Trial of the Grasses" was too cruel, the remaining witchers of the School of the Wolf in Kaer Morhen would not go through this cruel trial again, unless there was a special situation where they had to do it. It might not be to train new witchers, but to lift a curse. After all, the "Decoction of the Grasses" was an alchemy potion with special effects.
Vesemir had a lot of experience with children. It could even be said that he was the most experienced "babysitter" in the entire continent. So even though his face was scarred, he used his kind attitude to put the two girls at ease.
Olivia had already learned about Vesemir's past through the game system's "Character Information Bar." She knew that he was indeed a good person. This was also why he was loved by other witchers of the School of the Wolf. So, she quickly called him "Grandpa."
It had to be said that Princess Olivia, the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms" with a sweet mouth, was unparalleled in terms of being likable.
In fact, Vesemir had heard of the little Princess of Cintra, the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms." However, seeing her in person was not as good as hearing about her. No wonder Princess Olivia could earn the title of "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms." Her beauty was only one of the reasons. The deeper reason was her charm and versatility.
After all, when beauty reached a certain level, it would be like radishes and vegetables to each their own. Then, it would truly be a competition of inner beauty …
After Kaer Morhen accepted the two princesses as refugees, Olivia's game system notified her that she had successfully joined the neutral faction of the witchers. As long as she expanded the influence of this faction and completed various faction quests, she would be rewarded with more skill points.
This was no longer a side quest, but one of the main quests.
It turned out that in this era, witchers had completely declined. They were not welcomed anywhere they went. Ordinary people thought of them as monsters and feared them. However, they had no choice but to rely on them to deal with those inhumane monsters.
The witchers of the School of Wolves were still alright. They basically did not participate in politics and strictly adhered to the law of neutrality. However, the witchers of the School of Cats had already become assassins and specialized in assassination. Some were forced by circumstances, while others had long thrown away their dignity as witchers …
Because of the negative influence caused by the School of Cat witchers, the School of Wolf witchers were also implicated.
Therefore, for Olivia, the main quest of expanding the influence of the witchers of the School of Wolves in Kaer Morhen was very difficult to complete. It could be said that this was a quest that went against the trend. It was very challenging.
However, the "Trial of the Grasses" was no longer going on. This meant that for every witcher of the School of Wolves that died, there would be one less. They were a species more precious than pandas …
Looking at Geralt the White Wolf's impoverished appearance, she knew that it would be extremely dangerous for them to hunt monsters. Without equipment, how could they easily defeat monsters?
Olivia felt that she had a long way to go. First, she had to make a small goal. First, she had to earn a lot of money. She had to refurbish Papa the White Wolf's equipment. At the very least, she had to get a full set of master-level witcher equipment. Then, she would embed all kinds of runestones into it. That was the way to go!
There was also the steel sword and the silver sword. They seemed to be pretty good for this era, but compared to modern cold weapons, they were nothing!
Other than the game system, Olivia's biggest support was actually the technology from the modern information world. It was not like she had not read all kinds of novels about traveling to ancient times and climbing the technology tree. In the future, she might have to equip Geralt with a shotgun that could shoot silver bullets. Then, he would be able to "shoot" Tao Zhe. This was the true nature of a hunter …
She, Olivia, was destined to bring change to this medieval world of swords and magic!
However, after such a long journey, she also felt tired. On this day, she could finally rest peacefully with Cirilla.
Although the castle of Kaer Morhen was very run-down, at least there was no need to worry about safety. Even though it was deserted, because of Geralt and Vesemir's presence, it had the warmth of a home.
Due to the population, Kaer Morhen was not suitable as a base for farming. However, as a secret base specializing in black technology, it was still very suitable. It was easy to defend, but difficult to attack. Rumor had it that the White Wolf's father was close to many sorceresses?
It would be great if all these sorceresses could stay here. They would definitely be the scientists of this era …
Unfortunately, the White Wolf's charm alone was not enough to make them die for him. After all, most sorceresses preferred a luxurious, comfortable, and elegant life. They could happily have sex with Geralt, who was so powerful in certain aspects, but to live in a run-down Kaer Morhen?
That was the biggest joke in the world!
It was like a modern woman despising a self-built house in your hometown, unless it was a luxurious villa! In fact, even a luxurious villa in the countryside would be particularly unattractive if it did not have the various conveniences, entertainment facilities, and service industry of a big city. Kaer Morhen was in such a situation. It was not a luxurious villa, but a ruined castle.
Therefore, Lady Olivia Zhao's small goal was not wrong. First, earn a hundred million, and transform Kaer Morhen into the most comfortable place on the whole continent!
Well, she had to admit that she despised the poverty here, but she was willing to put in the effort to transform this place herself. She wanted her sister, father, and grandfather to live a good life. She even wanted the sorceress friends of the White Wolf's (PAO) to stay here willingly, and help her with black technology …
