Chapter 609: The Law of Accident
On a hillside covered by emerald green grass, a piece of silk, two silhouettes, a plate of fruit, a piece of roasted lamb and wine bottles scattered all over the place, the two drink together in front of the soft and beautiful moonlight. m. The mobile phone saves the most traffic and has no advertisements.
"In Kaer Morhen, every apprentice has been through rigorous training since childhood. Sword skills, riding skills, boxing skills and all kinds of boring and tedious knowledge. Human, elf, monster and herbal knowledge. These knowledge It’s so complicated and profound that it can make a person as big as an ox, but you have to learn it.” Vesemir took a sip of wine and said, “However, these things to learn are just a drop in the bucket. Even if you understand This knowledge, but when you grow up, you will find that you have to learn, in fact, there are many, many more."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, listening to the story Vesemir told, "A person's success depends not only on talent, but also on whether he works hard or not. God is fair and unfair."
Vesemir nodded, "... After each apprentice demon hunter has learned these things, he must continue to learn. Martial arts must not be left behind at all times. After that, he must learn magic seals, some simple alchemy and pharmacy. After all , we hunt monsters everywhere, and sometimes we have to make corresponding items to defeat the enemy based on the intelligence and weaknesses of the monsters. But these can only let a person understand the things related to monsters or occultism. If you want to become A qualified demon hunter must also endure the trial of green grass. If we do not die, we will undergo transformation! Whether it is facial features or physique, they will surpass ordinary people, bringing us developed and keen senses, strong physique and rapid growth Resilience. We can drink alchemy potions that are extremely deadly to ordinary people, although the taste is really not very good..."
He tore off a piece of mutton, took a sip of wine, and continued. "Whether it's an alchemy potion or a soup made by ordinary people, the taste is so disgusting, it's not the same as this delicious beer and this delicious roast lamb." He said, tearing off another piece of lamb, chewing carefully After tasting it, he said: "I'm really curious what the world of the high elves looks like, and there are such unique spices. I found that barbecue mixed with this strange spice will become extremely delicious."
"This is cumin." Jiang Ning explained to him.
In the infinitely vast universe outside the world, thousands of planets are arranged and distributed. The species in it are different, some world species are similar or the same, but some worlds are completely new species. And the high elves have colonized and ruled hundreds of worlds, so it is not difficult to find new spices from these endless species and resources. As for the naming of some spices, Jiang Ning naturally gave him familiar and affectionate names.
"Cumin?" Vesemir sniffed lightly again, and then ate the roast mutton, "This thing is really suitable for barbecue!" Then, he looked at Jiang Ning suspiciously, "It's just that barbecue is not the temperament of an elf. In contrast. Could it be that the high elves also like to eat barbecue?" Jiang Ning shook his head and said to him, "Actually, only I like this stuff."
Jiang Ning didn't want the topic to continue to revolve around barbecue, he said, "Why did you choose to become a witcher?"
Vesemir paused slightly with the hand holding the wine, and then he said, "Have you heard of the Law of Accidents?" Jiang Ning shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it. Vesemir began to explain to him, "It is a baby bound by the laws of fate to the Promised One, usually in order to repay a favor. Anyone who wants to use the law of accident, hearing others swear to give him any When reciprocating with things, say something like: "You will give me something unexpected you found at home." This sentence does not refer to the lover hiding under the wife's bed, let alone the mother-in-law who came to visit unexpectedly, but A child born or adopted when the person who made the oath was away." He said lightly, "It is said that such a child marked by fate will become a very accomplished person when he grows up." He mocked, "But, who knows True or false?"
Jiang Ning looked at him,
"Are you the one who became a demon hunter because of the law of accident?"
Vesemir nodded, "The possessor of this law has the power of magic. Once a request that meets the conditions of the law of accidents is made, a bond of fate will be created between the oath initiator and the oath object." He said: "I am Because of the law of accident, I was taken to Kaer Morhen by my mentor and became an apprentice. After successfully surviving the trial of green grass, I became a demon hunter. And I went to various places, accepted entrusted tasks, and earned Commission. After all, maintaining life and maintaining equipment also requires money support."
Jiang Ning was stunned, so he didn't continue to ask Vesemir.
In fact, there is no exact record of the emergence and birth of the law of accident. However, the law of accident has a strong binding force. Partly due to the effect of the law, partly due to the power of magic. In the story of the witcher, Geralt's companion demon hunter Lambert also became a witcher because of the law of accident. Same goes for Ciri. Ciri's father, Emhyr, was cursed by a warlock in his early years and turned into a hideous and disgusting monster, which originated from a riot when he was 13 years old. Riots broke out in the capital of the Empire, and Emhyr's father Fergus refused to justify the treachery when Emhyr's father was overthrown and the usurper seized power. So the usurper ordered the warlock to torture Fergus' son, Emhyr, and was cursed, and the warlock turned him into a hedgehog-like monster-Urchion. This is why Emhyr hates warlocks.
However, Emhyr eluded the hunters in the end, and on a rainy night, he met Rognar of Ebin, king of Cintra, and saved his life, demanding the king's unexpected law in return. After the king returned home, he learned that his wife was pregnant, and ordered the baby to Emhyr according to an accident. When the king's daughter Pavetta was 15 years old, Emhyr, who went by the pseudonym Doni, went to Pavetta's selection party. But how could King Rognar of Cintra want his daughter to marry a monster? So Geralt, who found Livia, wanted to get rid of Emhyr. However, Emhyr lifted the curse with Geralt's help. Therefore, Pavetta agreed to become his wife. However, Geralt also used the law of accidents in return. At this time, Emhyr, who knew that Pavita was pregnant, could only guarantee that the child in his wife's womb would be given to Geralt, that is, Ciri.
The effectiveness of the law of accident, whether it is the law itself or because of magic, its appearance has brought about many changes. At the same time, people's rumors that such a child marked by fate will be very successful when he grows up have been realized.
However, Geralt was not abandoned by his mother in Kaer Morhen because of an accident.
