As it turned out, Yennefer and Cirilla were fated to meet. At first, they did not get along very well. However, as they got to know each other better, they gradually became like mother and daughter.
During this process, Yennefer truly treated Cirilla as her own daughter. She taught her everything she knew. On the other hand, even though Olivia called Cirilla mother, they were only mother and daughter on the surface.
Perhaps Yennefer had some complaints about Olivia's eagerness to introduce sorceresses to the White Wolf. She felt that Olivia was too controlling. She gave off the same vibe as Emperor Emhyr.
The difference between Olivia and Emperor Emhyr was that she had the technology to combine magic and science to maintain her rule.
Yennefer brought her two daughters to the Temple of Merytelli in Elland for further study. There was not only magic there, but also the mysteries of the divine arts.
Olivia was quite satisfied. She had stored up many skills. As long as she had skill points, she could max them out.
The Temple of Merytelli was located outside the capital of Elland. It was probably the most well-known place under the name of this goddess. A poplar avenue led from the gate to the buildings next to the sanctuary. The main temple area was built against the mountain. There was also a garden and some peripheral buildings, as well as a cave carved out of the mountain rock. The roof was covered with crystals, and it was used as a greenhouse.
As the situation of the war escalated, and for the sake of her two daughters' studies, Yennefer decided to leave the Temple of Merytelli and head to Goth Velen. They were going to attend the Mage Conference on the nearby Thanedd Island. She planned to send the two girls to the Aretuza Magic Academy built on the island after the conference.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Yennefer had planned. On the eve of the Mage Conference, a premeditated coup took place on Thanedd Island. Mages, the Empire, the Northern Kingdoms, the Squirrel Gang, and other forces were involved.
The Nilfgaardian knights, Cahir and Vilgefortz, who had taken Cirilla out of the city of Cintra, had planned to kidnap Cirilla during this coup.
Cahir and Vilgefortz were old acquaintances of Olivia. The former was unlucky. He thought that he could bring the two princesses back with him, but he failed. In the end, he was thrown into prison by the enraged Emperor. Now, he was reactivated. As Olivia's first teacher, he was obsessed with Cirilla's blood. He had always desired her "Elder Blood."
When Vilgefortz was plotting to restore Emperor Emhyr to the throne, he had planned to take Cirilla with him. Little did he know that Paveta had seen through his plan with Emhyr and caused his plan to fail …
This time, during the coup on Thanedd Island, his goal towards Cirilla had been exposed. Emperor Emhyr no longer trusted him.
In fact, no one knew that the real winner of this coup was only one person, and that was Olivia!
As the leader of a faction, she had long been informed of the various factions' plans to stir up trouble on Thanedd Island. Instead of being alarmed, she was overjoyed. She felt that the female sorcerers of Aerith Academy, which she had been drooling over, were now completely within her grasp. And the various knowledge of the academy, why not move them all to Kaer Morhen?
After all, Thanedd Island was built by the elves using magic. It was a domain that belonged exclusively to mages. There was a sorceress academy on the island, which was connected to Goth Velen by a bridge.
From afar, Thanedd Island looked like a huge stone pillar piercing through the waves. A huge psychic tower surrounded a spiraling path, winding ladders and platforms. The platforms were submerged in a green forest and gardens. Between the greenery was a towering white tower, attached to a swallow-neck-like stone. There was also a dome-shaped building surrounded by a gallery. It looked as if it had been carved from the mountain that rose from the sea.
At the top of the island was the Tower of the Seagull, Thor Lara. There was a portal inside. The entire island was actually hollow. There was a secret passage that led from the sea into the hollow at the bottom of the island.
Olivia watched helplessly as the various forces wreaked havoc on this famous sorcerer academy. Apart from the main body of the academy, the other Gaston Palace and Luo Xia Palace had all stopped operating. She had prepared for this. She brought her people and moved countless precious magical knowledge to Kaer Morhen.
Because of this, Olivia had neglected Cirilla. However, Cirilla's personal strength was enough to put her at ease.
Of course, Geralt was there for the coup on Thanedd Island. In order to protect Cirilla, he confronted Vilgefortz. However, his right leg was broken!
Lord Vilgefortz, who practiced both magic and martial arts, had truly opened Geralt's eyes. This Lord Vilgefortz was a mage who knew martial arts. No one could stop him!
He could actually break Geralt's leg with a staff!
At this moment, Geralt understood that this Vilgefortz was his lifelong enemy!
Before this, the two of them had a very philosophical exchange …
"When you think, look at the sky and the stars. Don't confuse the stars in the sky with the reflection on the surface of the pond," he said to Geralt.
During the Thanedd Island Conference, he had attended the banquet with Francesca Findabair. He looked no more than thirty-five years old. He was tall and burly, wearing a knight's jacket without a coat of arms. He was exceptionally handsome. Even Francesca Findabair, who had doe eyes and stunning beauty, stood out next to him.
He then invited Geralt to visit the gallery with him. In a very philosophical exchange, he hinted that Geralt should hand over Cirilla.
During the coup on Thanedd Island, Felipa Earhart believed that he had colluded with Nilfgaard and was accused of treason. Vilgefortz was shackled with anti-magic shackles. However, someone used magic to break the shackles. He escaped and tried to capture Cirilla. On the way, he met Geralt, who tried to stop him. Vilgefortz used only his staff skills and no magic. In two moves, he subdued the veteran witcher. He then broke Geralt's thigh bone. However, he spared Geralt's life and continued his pursuit of Cirilla.
To Vilgefortz's surprise, someone stood in front of Cirilla. It was Olivia, his former disciple, who had looted Thanedd Island!
"Teacher, long time no see." Olivia said with a smile, her hands empty. She then bowed, but there was a chill in her smile.
