Chapter 609: The Law of Accidents
On a hillside covered with verdant grass, a silk, two figures and a plate of fruit, a roast lamb and wine bottles scattered all over the ground drank against each other in the soft and poignant moonlight.
"In Kellmohan, every apprentice has been trained from an early age. Swordsmanship, horsemanship, boxing, and all sorts of boring and tedious knowledge. Human, elven, monster, and herbal knowledge. This knowledge is so complex and advanced that it can make people's heads big, but you have to learn it. Vismere took a sip of his wine and said, "But this is only a drop in the bucket. Even if you know this, when you grow up, you will realize that there is a lot more to learn. ”
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, listening to the story told by Viselmir, "The reason why a person can succeed depends not only on the factor of talent, but also on whether he works hard or not. Heaven is fair and unfair. ”
Viselmir nodded, "...... When every Demon Hunter apprentice has learned these things, he has to continue to learn, and the martial arts naturally cannot be left behind. Then you have to learn the seals, some simple alchemy and apothecary. After all, we hunt monsters everywhere, and sometimes we have to make corresponding items to defeat the enemy according to the monsters' intelligence and weaknesses. But these can only teach one about monsters or the occult, and in order to become a good witcher, one must also endure the trials of grass. If we hadn't died, we would have been transformed! Whether it is the facial features or the physique, it will surpass mortals, bring us developed and keen senses, and a strong physique with rapid recovery. We were able to drink the alchemical elixir, which is extremely lethal to ordinary people, even though it didn't taste very good......"
He tore off a piece of mutton, took a sip of wine, and continued. "Whether it's an alchemy potion or a decoction made by ordinary people, the taste is so disgusting, not the same as this delicious beer and this fragrant roast mutton." As he spoke, he tore off another slice of mutton, chewed it carefully, and then said, "I'm really curious about what the world of the High Elves is like, and there are such unique spices." I've found that barbecue is incredibly delicious when mixed with this exotic spice. ”
"It's cumin." Jiang Ning explained for him.
In the infinite universe beyond the world, there are thousands of planets scattered in a row. The species inside are different, some worlds are similar or identical, but some worlds are completely new species. The High Elves have colonized hundreds of worlds, so it's not hard to find new spices from these endless species and resources. And the naming of some spices was naturally crowned by Jiang Ning with a familiar and affectionate name for him.
"Cumin?" Viselmir sniffed lightly again, then ate the roast lamb, "This thing is really good for barbecue!" Then, he looked at Jiang Ning suspiciously, "It's just that this kind of thing is not compatible with the temperament of the elf." Could it be that the High Elves also love to eat barbecue? Jiang Ning shook his head and said to him, "In fact, this thing is the only thing I love to eat." ”
Jiang Ning didn't want the topic to continue to revolve around barbecue, he said, "Why did you choose to become a witcher?" ”
Viselmir's hand holding the wine paused slightly, 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. Viselmir began to explain to him, "It is a baby who is bound to the Promised Man through the laws of fate, usually to repay the favor. Anyone who wants to use the method of surprise should say something like "You're going to give me the surprise you found in your house" when he hears someone swear to give him anything in return. This sentence does not refer to the lover who hides under the wife's bed, let alone the mother-in-law who suddenly visits, but the child who gave birth or adopted in the absence of the person who swore the oath. He said lightly, "It is said that such a child who is marked by fate will be a very productive person when he grows up." He laughed mockingly, "It's just, who knows if it's true or not?" ”
Jiang Ning looked at him, "You are the one who became a demon hunter because of the law of accidents?" ”
Viselmir nodded, "The power of the magic of the owner of this law, once the requirements of the law meet the conditions of the law of accidents, a bond of fate will arise between the initiator of the oath and the object of the oath. He said, "It was because of the law of accident that my mentor took me to Kylemohan as an apprentice, and after successfully surviving the Grass Trial, I became a witcher." And go to various places, accept entrusted tasks, and earn commissions. After all, money is needed to sustain oneself and to maintain one's equipment. ”
Jiang Ning was stunned, and he didn't continue to ask Viselmir.
In fact, there is no exact record of the emergence and birth of the law of accidents. However, the law of accident has a strong binding force. Part of it was because of the effect of the law, and part of it was because of the power of magic. In the story of the witcher, Geralt's fellow witcher, Lambert, also became a witcher because of the law of accidents. The same goes for Ciri. Ciri's father, Nhil, had been cursed by a warlock in his early years and turned into a hideous and disgusting monster that originated from a riot when he was 13 years old. There was a revolt in the capital of the empire, Enhill's father was overthrown, and the usurper took the opportunity to take power, and Enhill's father, Phorgus, refused to recognize the legitimacy of the mutiny. So the usurper had the warlock torment of Phagoth's son, Enhil, and cursed him, and the warlock turned him into a hedgehog-like monster, Uchion (because the ancient word for "hedgehog" is similar to Emhyr). That's why Enhil hated Warlocks.
However, Enhil eventually evades the huntsman's pursuit, and on a rainy night, he meets Rognar of Ebin, King of Sintra, and saves his life, so he demands that the king repay the law of accident. When the king returned home, he learned that his wife was pregnant, and that the baby belonged to Enhir according to the law of accidents. When the king's daughter, Paveta, was 15 years old, Nhil, who assumed the alias Doni, went to Paveta's marriage party. But how did Rogna, the king of Sintra, want his daughter to marry a monster? So, Geralt, who brought in Rivia, wanted to get rid of Nhil. However, Nhil lifted the curse with Geralt's help. Therefore, Pavita agreed to be his wife. However, Geralt also reciprocated with the law of accident, and at this time, Enhil, who learned that Paveta was pregnant, could only promise to give Geralt, the child in his wife's womb, that is, Ciri.
The effect of the law of accidents, both in the law itself and because of magic, has brought about many changes. At the same time, it is rumored that such a child who is marked by fate will grow up to be very productive, but it has been realized.
It's just that Geralt was not abandoned by his mother in Kyrmohan because of accident.
