The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Kaer Morhen" Source: The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Soundtrack.)

Goth Velen is a seaport city in the northwest of Temeria. The north of the city is connected to the island of Thanedd by a stone bridge, and the famous Aretuza Warlock Academy is on the island of Thanedd.

Goth Velen has also become a different kind of vitality because of the female sorcerers who come to purchase.

Cardo Street connects the city gates in the east, south and north directions and the sea gate in the west. The dock area is famous for its fish market on Round Street, and its strong fishy smell always attracts nearby wild cats.

Goth Velen and the academy on the island of Thanedd were built on the ruins of the elven city, and all large cities on the continent are like this.

The elves who like cleanliness designed and built a huge sewer system for their city. Therefore, the city here is not like the medieval city in Europe in our impression, with sewage flowing, stench everywhere, mosquitoes and flies everywhere, and the nobles don't need to wear high heels here.

Silver Heron Tavern, noon.

Amawit dropped his pen, stretched his back, and tidied up the drawings on the table.

He picked a total of three knife types, namely the Yanling Knife, the Qi Family Saber, and the Imperial Guard Saber. And according to his own body conditions and usage habits, he made slight modifications to the size, handle, and knife guard.

While tidying up, he was thinking whether to learn forging knowledge so that he could be self-reliant in weapons. Then he gave up. The smelting technology here is very primitive, and some of the smelting work in "Ming Dynasty Knife Weapon Atlas and Knife Skills Summary" cannot even be completed.

Besides, as a prince of a country, there are people to work for him. The so-called right not to expire. Why bother.

By the way, "Ming Dynasty Knife Weapon Atlas and Knife Skills Summary" does not list the original techniques and knowledge of the Blue Star Ming Dynasty, but the materials, forging, moves, and combat data that were improved and recorded by someone unknown. There are also animated demonstrations in it. Can you believe it?

…

After lunch, Amavit packed the blueprints and took Drina out of the Silver Heron Tavern and walked towards the golden weather vane in the center of the city. That was the city lord's mansion.

Gos Velen is currently directly under the royal family. There is no lord, only the city lord appointed by the royal family.

Your Highness should come and say hello to the city lord. Otherwise, what do you want to do when you live in a subordinate city for half a year incognito? It's hard for people not to think too much when you do this.

Having said that, if you reveal your identity, if you encounter something, your Highness can find helpers and the city lord can also distance himself from it. It's good for everyone.

The city lord, who had received Drina's notice yesterday, has made preparations.

Your Highness came to guide, and the city lord, who was not worthy of a name, gave a grand and private reception. The host and the guest had a simple exchange of views on the current political and economic status of Gos Velen, and fully exchanged opinions on the future development of this beautiful coastal city.

On behalf of the royal family, His Royal Highness expressed great appreciation for the hard work and loyalty of the City Lord. The City Lord expressed his loyalty and support for the royal family and His Royal Highness.

Finally, His Royal Highness reiterated that the study process at Aretusa College was a private trip and required a certain degree of confidentiality.

In addition, the prince asked the City Lord to pay attention to all those who had inquired about the whereabouts of the prince and the guards recently. If necessary, they could be arrested directly, and they could also apply for assistance from Aretusa College and the prince himself.

Declining the City Lord's invitation to dinner, the prince and the guard left secretly through the back door.

"Fuck, I will never deal with this bunch of noble politicians again. It's more tiring than fighting a werewolf." Amawit patted the guard on the shoulder and said.

"Master, you are talking dirty again." The guard tried his best to do the task assigned by the queen.

"So what? My dad is... ahem."

"Okay. Anyway, I reminded you." Drina rubbed his shoulders and said, "Master, have you become stronger?"

"Yes, yes, I have fought all the way in Velen, so I have to make some progress." Amavit changed the subject: "By the way, Drina, find a blacksmith shop. The best one."

"Your wish, Master."

...

"Welcome!" The bearded dwarf behind the counter said loudly.

This is a very well-organized shop, with weapons and armor samples placed in the display cabinets on both sides, which are very exquisite.

On the wall opposite, there is a row of signs like certificates and awards. Look carefully, "Gos Velen XX Contribution Award", "Temeria XXX Army XX Award", "Master Certificate of the Craftsmen's Association"...

The dwarf saw Amavet looking at the certificates on the wall, slightly stepped aside, and said proudly: "Master Hatori is a very famous blacksmith master in the whole of Temeria, just tell me what you need."

The bearded dwarf squinted at the armor on Amavet and said: "Human boy, I can see that your workmanship is good, a bit like a demon hunter. But it's still worse than Master Hatori Okan's craftsmanship."

Amavet's current suit is produced by the best blacksmith shop in Vizima City, but it is indeed not made by a master.

When he went out, he was young, weak, and still growing. It is possible that he will not be able to wear this suit in a month.

Besides, with guards and magic, the dangers he faces can be said to be very limited. It is not worth spending a lot of money on equipment, and money is not to be wasted.

Amavet ignored the dwarf and took a closer look at the armor and weapons on display. He even tried out one of the Mahakam steel swords.

He is usually like this, he talks little, especially to strangers. The meeting with the city lord was already beyond the standard.

Replacing the Mahakam steel sword, the prince turned to the dwarf and said, "Who are you?"

"Kalba Okan will definitely become a master blacksmith in the future." The dwarves' voices, like their names, sounded like blacksmithing, and were full of optimism.

"So, Kalba, can you do this?" Amavit took out the three tool drawings he drew.

Halba took the drawings and looked through them one by one: "Well, I have never seen these swords before. Did you draw them yourself?" Note ①

"It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Okay, okay, what a grumpy human pup."

His Royal Highness rolled his eyes.

"Are there any material requirements for these swords?" the dwarf asked.

"No, it's for training." The prince took the Mahakam steel sword and put it on the counter.

"Oh, are there any weight requirements or other requirements?"

"It's a little heavier than an ordinary half-hand sword."

Knives of the same length are generally heavier than swords. Considering that his strength attributes will continue to increase in the future, the prince decided to use a slightly heavier knife for training so that he can get used to it as quickly as possible.

The dwarf neatly put the drawings aside and said, "Human boy, please wait a moment." After saying that, he turned around and lowered himself step by step, disappearing from behind the counter. Uh-huh, let's just talk about how a dwarf like him showed his face at such a high counter.

After a while, the dwarf came back and placed a strange sword flat on the counter. He fiddled with the strange sword's sword grid and pulled out the too thick sword body like a shell. The inside was thinner. Another blade of some.

"Try it."

Amavit tried the sword, then put it back and said, "It's suitable, for this weight."

"Yes, 3.4 pounds, noted down." The dwarf recorded in his notebook: "Are these all this weight?"

Amavit found the two drawings of Miao Dao and Qi Jiada, pointed it out to the dwarf and said: "These two are two-handed weapons, they need to be heavier, 3.7 pounds is good." Note ②

"No problem, I've written it down. Is that all?"

"Also, do you know the Oufei kampilan?" Amavit asked.

"You may not know if you ask other blacksmiths." Kalba said very proudly: "But of course our Okan family knows."

"Very good, the same specifications, 3.4 pounds, and another Ofel scimitar." Amavit tapped his fingers on the counter table: "However, I hate the wooden handle, it is too slippery, can it be changed?"

"Of course. I have to say that you are very good at using a sword. I also hate the wooden handle. It is indeed too slippery. The handle is wrapped with animal skin?"

"No problem, it's very suitable." The prince took out a few more drawings from his arms and put them on the counter: "You should recognize this."

These are the high-level armor blueprints of the Bear Faction that were found in Hunter Nilen's hunter's cabin.

"Wow, this is rare. Demon hunter armor. Where did you get it?" I have to say that this dwarf blacksmith apprentice named Kalba Okan is very good.

Although I still don’t know how good his craftsmanship is, this knowledge alone is very powerful.

"Don't rush to build the armor, I'm still growing. Hmm... I'll give you the armor blueprint. How much can I pay for it?" This blacksmith shop has some stuff. We can make a good relationship and save some money at the same time. It's a win-win situation.

The dwarf looked up in surprise: "Human boy, are you serious?"

In the blacksmith industry, drawings are very precious. Drawings such as the Demon Hunter Armor can be said to be treasures, and they contain biological material application knowledge that most blacksmiths do not have.

The prince spread his hands: "I'm not a blacksmith."

"Okay, let me do the math...well, let's count 120 orens."

"Hey, Kalba, are you related to those dwarves who open banks?" Amavit patted the counter and said, "But forget it, it's only 120 orens."

The bearded dwarf was about to enter the bargaining stage, but was taken aback.

"How much more do you have to pay?"

"Training a sword is not expensive, just pay another 130 orens."

"You also need to ensure quality when training swords."

"Are you questioning our reputation? Human boy."

Amavit shrugged and said nothing: "When will I come to get the weapon? If possible, send it to Aretuza Academy. Give it to Amavit."

"In half a month. Delivery is available."

"You make a copy of the witcher armor blueprint and send it with the sword. I have to keep a copy for myself."

"Slight problem. Thanks for your business. Goodbye, little human."

"Goodbye."

…

Caddo Street is not just one street, but an irregular cross street connecting Sanmen and the Seaport District. The Okan family's blacksmith shop was on North Caddo Street near the center of the cross.

In order to avoid being chased by his two sisters after returning home, Amavit decided to buy gifts for his sisters and his mother-in-law while he still remembered. As for His Majesty the King, he does not need this.

Shortly after His Highness the Prince was born, Blood Queen Falga was defeated and Queen Leianlun was rescued.

After more than a year of treatment by the Meriteli Priest and the palace's magic consultant, the queen recovered from her madness and converted to the Meriteli Temple. The most important thing every day was to pray in the small sacrificial hall in the palace castle.

The Temple of Meriteli is the oldest sect on the mainland. The goddess Meriteli is a real-life deity who often appears as an old woman, a middle-aged woman, or a young girl. Her statue is also a statue of the trinity goddess, symbolizing fertility, prosperity, and harvest. At least one-third of the women in the mainland believe in Meritelli.

The prince bought his mother a stone statue of the three gods of Meliteli, which was very well carved; he bought Fiona two boxes of magic cream; and he bought Adela a gem brooch.

Women in the north of the continent, especially adult women, dress relatively conservatively, and most of them cover their heads with headscarves when going out.

However, because the sorceresses have received more advanced education, have great power and higher social status, they like to behave differently from traditional women in every way, and are criticized by traditional people as "heretical".

Sorceresses usually have loose hair, delicate makeup, and bold clothes. They despise and dislike fat nobles, so there are not so many ambiguous stories between nobles and sorceresses.

Sorceresses are not fashion experts who only know how to buy. Some of them run their own businesses with their magic knowledge and business acumen, and some rely on their profound knowledge and powerful power to seek greater rights for themselves in various countries.

For example, in the future, Yennefer will run her own magic cream business in multiple cities. Her magic cream really has the effect of anti-aging and anti-wrinkle, so the business is very good. Yennefer often complains that Geralt is a poor guy rolling in the mud.

For example, Philippa, the sorceress who likes to turn into an owl, tried to PUA the prince when educating the young Radovid V, so as to gain more power after he ascended to the throne.

Unexpectedly, this handsome but extremely tyrannical king captured his teacher and dug out his eyes after ascending to the throne. A very famous oil painting was also circulated about this incident. Note ③

It must be said that the fate of sorceresses participating in politics is mostly not good, probably because Aretuza College does not have a political science course.

…

Men are generally more efficient when shopping. When the prince and Drina returned to the Silver Heron Tavern, it was not yet dinner time, so Amavette had time to pack up and continue to learn magic.

After dinner, His Royal Highness recalled the situation, questions and records of his meditation in Weiren these days, and compared the learning materials in the learning machine to study the "Meditation Method".

After that, Amavit stayed in the tavern room for another 2 days, and the time passed by in learning.

Learning made him happy!
