Eskel had a head of black hair and a terrifying scar on his cheek. Like Geralt, he liked to use the "Law of Surprise." His horse was named "Scorpion."
There was a story behind the scar on his face.
Seventy years ago, Eskel saved the life of a prince. He asked for the reward of the witchers' Law of Surprise. At that time, the prince did not know that his wife was about to give birth to a baby girl — — Deidre Ardemeyne. However, Eskel did not bring back the promised child.
For some reason, he never went back after that.
Twenty years later, Eskel got into a lot of trouble because of his righteous help, and he stood against the female warlock, Sabina. This caused Eskel to anger Princess Deidre Ardemeyne, the girl who was supposed to be his adopted daughter. His face was slashed by a sword, leaving a deep gash on his face.
In the end, Eskel's unexpected child, Princess Deidre Ardemeyne, was born in the shadow of fate. She changed her fate, forsaking her hatred under the grace of forgiveness, mercy, and humanity. Under the joint rule of Maiwen and Deidre, Cain Gonne enjoyed the most glorious period of its history.
A few years later, a large raven came to Kaer Morhen with a letter from Prince Cain Gonne. Eskel threw the letter into the fire without even looking at it.
Since then, the witchers never mentioned Deidre Ardemeyne again.
This was obviously a complicated story. In fact, most of the kind-hearted witchers were reluctant to bring their "unexpected child" into the world of witchers.
Take Geralt for example. If not for the fact that Cirilla and Olivia's families had already been destroyed, he might have followed Eskel's example and never brought these two princesses back to Kaer Morhen.
In fact, when Olivia first mentioned that she wanted to improve the internal environment of Kaer Morhen, these witchers who were used to living a carefree life were not moved. To them, they were already used to living in the wilderness. It could not be helped. Witchers were too poor. Even when they sold their loot, they would be oppressed by unscrupulous merchants …
However, Olivia was such a cute little angel. Who dared to disobey her? Only Lambert could not stop complaining. He was the one who had laid the marble tiles on the floor in the first place.
Although Kaer Morhen Castle was old, it was spacious enough to house hundreds of people, let alone less than ten people.
Therefore, Olivia had specially planned out a residential area and transformed it into a modern villa. Anyway, with the magical existence of "alchemy," as long as there were raw materials, she could continuously use special alchemy equations to transform them into the substitutes that Olivia wanted.
This was the power of black technology. Magic in this world might not be as powerful as one would imagine, but it was the essence of magic. With the help of the system, Olivia could even perform micro-manipulation on the atomic level. This was also the principle of "alchemy."
It could even be said that every Warlock, in principle, could become an industrial system, as long as she could fully grasp modern knowledge.
Olivia searched for all kinds of knowledge in the real world, and at the same time, fulfilled the saying of "knowledge is power" in this world of swords and magic.
In this residential villa, the marble tiles were laid, and the floor heating was also designed. It gave off a different feeling. Then came the classic modern European villa design, which clearly suited the aesthetic of this world.
If it were not for the lack of time, Olivia could have made the villa even more luxurious. However, the effect had already stunned the witchers, who had not seen much of the world, except for Geralt.
Olivia's own paintings hung on the walls of the villa. It did not matter if her paintings were good or not, the artistic atmosphere was immediately highlighted.
As for the crystal chandeliers and the like, there was no need to talk about it. Although there were no electric lights in this world, there were magic lights of various colors. They were no worse than electric lights.
Even Vesemir, the old man, fell in love with this new place for the first time. His favorite part of the design was the very fashionable bar counter. The only problem was the lack of good wine. It would be great if the wine cabinet could be filled with good wine. He could enjoy the wine while listening to music. That would be the ultimate enjoyment of every winter.
Speaking of wine, this world was already very developed, especially the wine from the Duchy of Toussaint. It was famous throughout the entire continent, but there were no famous spirits. Obviously, the distillation technology for spirits had not been invented yet. This was obviously a huge business opportunity!
One had to know that the real men of Skellige Isles loved hard liquor the most. Unfortunately, they could only drink all kinds of ale. As for grape wine or whatever, they would not drink that kind of wine that was drunk by women!
Lambert, who was cursing, liked the huge swimming pool the most. He thought that it was incredible. Normally, he could only find a random lake to swim in. He did not expect to build a swimming pool in the castle!
Ermion had also come up with simple yet practical furniture like the sofa …
Of course, she had a complete plan in her mind. She wanted to transform Kaer Morhen into a more homey place, not just a temporary stop for winter.
Olivia and Cirilla still shared a room. They were used to sleeping in each other's arms. No one could separate them.
Obviously, the villa in Kaer Morhen still had many shortcomings. After all, the witchers were too short on money. However, with the vision of a better life, they were willing to let Olivia take care of the Oren coins and Crowns that they earned from hunting monsters …
So while she was commanding the witchers to remodel the castle, she also quietly took control of the financial power of the School of the Wolf. She first wanted to establish a chamber of commerce, and the starting capital, of course, came from these conscientious witchers.
In the middle of winter, when snow was falling, Triss finally arrived at Kaer Morhen. Seeing the old castle, which still looked shabby, a bitter smile appeared on her face. However, when she thought about how she would see Geralt again, her heart was filled with sweetness.
