Chapter 685 - City of Miracles (2/2)
When the “City of Miracles” finally appeared before her eyes, she doubted no more. That’s right. Poets had called it the “City of Miracles.” Cities loved being called names such as, “The City of XX,” such as “The Free City of Novigrad,” “The City of Golden Towers.” Now, Kaer Morhen was called “The City of Miracles.”
Raising such a beautiful, great city within such a short period of time with magical dark technology – what was not miraculous about it?
This city was already the holy land to some mages. It was akin to a big, new door to many of them —— Magic could actually be used like this?
Of course, some purists and conventional mages might find such methods of using magic to be controversial at best, taboo at worst. Magic was far too noble to be used on commoners, not to mention inanimate constructs and buildings. It was an insult to magic.
Olivia had no respect for these stiffnecks. She would not grant them the undeserved preferential treatment either. She believed that all mages had endless potential. As long as they were willing to learn, they might accomplish far more than the scientists of the other world.
The scientists within the modern world relied heavily on various instruments. On the other hand, sorcerers only need turn their thoughts inward unto their bloodline to gain an understanding of what things were, and why they were so. They could go far further than scientists. Revolutionalizing the world would be possible in a snap of their fingers.
Olivia would only give “Chosen Ones” and “Elder Blooded” like Cirilla special attention, regardless of their attitude. Their potential was limitless. Otherwise, even formidable forces like Triss would pale in comparison to some of her modern technology!
Olivia intended to train sorcerers like scientists, not like soldiers. She was probably the only person in the entire world who had that idea. This was also the sole reason why her Kaer Morhen had grown into a one-of-a-kind station of power.
Yennefer was shocked by how “The City of Miracles” had been built around geometric aesthetics. Words could not describe the precise calculations that have taken place in its build. She could only confirm that the rumors were not exaggerated accounts of the truth, as she had once thought. After all, seeing was believing.
If this was the case, the legend of the “Northland Pearl” Princess Olivia might not be untrue either. It now made sense why Geralt’s name had shot up to such an extent. Geralt was now probably the most famous witcher throughout the entire continent.
Perhaps even Geralt himself had not expected to “have this many daughters” one day. After all, people only “had many fathers” these days. What was the purpose of “having many daughters”?
Yennefer was finally curious about this adopted daughter…
