Episode 1: The Butcher of Blaviken
Main characters: Geralt the witcher, Renfri the girl, Strigob the wizard.
In the first episode, the witcher kills a Kikimo on the way, and then goes to the nearest Blavican for some money? Since he came to Blaviken, the witcher of course preferred the tavern to inquire about news. However, the drinking guys and the tavern owner didn't like to see the witcher. When the conflict was about to start, the girl Renfri rescued and invited the witcher to drink.
Suddenly, a little girl took Geralt to a local wizard on the pretext of selling Kikimo. Through conversation, she learned that the little girl had killed a puppy before and sold it to the wizard for 15 crowns. The wizard Strigob hid in the tower, and the little girl invited the witcher at his behest. The wizard hides in the tower because he is being hunted by Renfri. According to the wizard, Renfri is an ominous girl born during the dark day, which will lead to war or some kind of terrible result... So the wizard wants the witcher to help him kill Renfri, the wizard said to the witcher : "It's the less evil." The witcher refused, of course - Geralt didn't kill sentient beings. The witcher said: If it was the lesser of two evils, I would rather not, and the witcher left.
In the afternoon, in a forest, the witcher met the girl Renfri. The truth of what was learned from the girl's mouth was another matter. Renfri was assassinated by a wizard. Although the assassination was unsuccessful, she raped her first. When she was happy, Renfri used her mother's brooch to kill her. In order to survive, the girl also tried her best, but the princess' life is gone forever. The girl who survived, of course, had her first task of revenge—killing the wizard. The girl also said to Geralt, "It's the lesser of two evils!". But the witcher still wanted to stay out of it. And persuaded the girl to leave Bravican, give up revenge, and start a new life.
Towards the evening, the girl came back again and said to the witcher, "I have decided, I will leave Blaviken tomorrow." After being hypnotized (clothes intact), I immediately thought that it might be a trick to get rid of the tiger. So I hurried to the town of Blaviken to find out. When they arrived at the market, they naturally clashed with Renfri's subordinates (the same group of people who had clashed in the tavern before), and it was the group of weak subordinates who acted first, and the witcher was forced to kill them all. Finally Renfri showed up and said, "I'm going to kill everyone until the wizard comes out of the tower". Still forcing Geralt to make a choice, Geralt said you can go, it's not too late. But the vengeful Renfri disagreed and took the initiative to fight the witcher, and eventually died.
At this time, the wizard finally came out and jumped. Geralt saw this guy was very upset (I also saw him upset, very humble), when the conflict was about to start, the role of the fools came into play. After all, Geralt had killed so many people and had no choice but to leave.
The witcher made a choice. In order to protect the people in the whole city (the girl Renfri said that the wizard would kill everyone if she didn't come out), the witcher killed the girl, but was rejected by the whole city. This is the witcher status quo. Demon hunters have their own standards, but they are often not recognized by the foolish people. Do you think the witcher is a killing machine with no emotion at all? The woman who was still lingering on the previous page, killed her the next day, and Geralt felt uncomfortable. It is this sense of conflict that creates a sense of substitution in the plot.
In addition, I also saw the downfall of Sintra. There is no such part in the novel and the game. I feel that the drama is very good, the kind grandmother, and the funny grandfather. . And Ciri, who was forced to flee.

Episode 2: Forest Spirit Stealing Grain
Main characters:
The first line: the heroine Yennefer, the heroine of magic and sexual enlightenment Istrid, the principal of Arethusa, Tishaya;
The second line: Ciri, the elf boy Dara;
The third line: Geralt, the bard, Tok the forest elf.
Ciri was on the run and met Dara, her elf companion. There were occasional twists and turns, so I won't talk much about it; the witcher met the bard and went to hunt monsters that steal grain. Unexpectedly, they were overcast by the forest elf, and the two went to the elf king's palace together for a thrilling walk. The forest elf who steals grain does have haha in the novel, and our theme is the witcher, so we use the forest elf as the title.
Of course, we mainly introduce the Yenne normal.
Unexpectedly, Yennefer's life experience is actually quite miserable. Since it is a new line, it is best to start from the origin of life experience. (Are TV series original plots? Novels and games should not have such an early timeline)
When she was a child, Yennefer had a hunched back and a deformed head. To be honest, she was not very good-looking. She was also despised by her stepfather and kept doing rough work. Yennefer accidentally triggered the teleportation and was discovered by Tishaya, so Yennefer was sold by his father to Arethusa College for four crowns. Yennefer, a newcomer to the academy, failed to commit suicide and began to study magic, but he couldn't keep up with the progress of his studies. At this time, I met a nobleman-Istrid, who I met in the Tower of Seagulls by mistake during the first teleportation. With the help of Istrid, Yennefer first learned the magic of magic and learned the first magic - mind reading. Yennefer, who is of elven blood, gradually showed his prominence and finally won the promotion opportunity given by Tishaya. Of course, the reality is cruel, and those who are eliminated naturally "can only wither".
—————————
I'm lazy later, I don't want to write it in multiple episodes... I'll just say it briefly according to different lines.
Next, let's talk about the Yenne normal. In the academy, a large group of people stood watching from a distance. What were they watching? Yennefer and Istred are having sex. When the lingering ended, the audience remembered the warm applause. "The final applause is the icing on the cake!" Estrad sneered.
The two talked about the upcoming transformation ceremony while sorting their clothes. Yennefer had no idea what he wanted to become. Also talking about the place to go, Yennefer wants to go to Aden. With the help of Dean Tishaya, Yennefer successfully found the image he wanted to transform into. Everything is ready, only the ceremony is due.
As a result, although Tishaya tried her best to let Yennefer go to Aden at the Wizarding Conference, most of the Wizarding Council still supported the fact that Yennefer's elf blood identity was unintentionally revealed by Istride under magical hypnosis. Yennefer goes to Nilfgaard. Let's explain why knowing Yennefer's elven lineage will cause some wizards to force Yennefer to go to Nilfgaard. ??
Nilfgaard is in the far south of the map, Sintra to the north, and Aedirn to the north. The king of Sintra, Daglad (later Calanthe succeeded, Ciri's grandmother) banned the sorceress in Sintra, so it is temporarily impossible to send the sorceress there. On the other hand, Nilfgaard is more ambitious (launching an invasion war, etc.), and the wizard will not want to send a person who obeys his words, but wants to send a person who is not very obedient "a "backbone" person", Better to disrupt Nilfgaard's plans. On the other hand, in order to anger the King of Sintra (who told the King of Sintra to refuse the assistance of sorceresses), send a elf (compared to sorceresses, Sintra hates elves more) + Sintra Allied Aedirn (Yennefer was born in Ungerburg, belonged to Aedirn) to Nilfgaard, will have better results (more able to anger the king of Sintra).
Yennefer later learned that he would be sent to Nilfgaard and was very angry. So she angrily did a very irrational thing: she wanted to write a letter to her adoptive father to admit that she was biological (even if her adoptive father admitted it, would she still be able to deceive the elders of the wizarding society? So stupid), so that she missed it. Transformation ceremony.
It doesn't matter if she missed the transformation ceremony, Yennefer successfully persuaded the wizard in charge of the transformation operation to help her transform through the trick. In order to save time, Yennefer stubbornly chose not to use herbal anesthesia and start the operation directly.
Before the operation, I had to strip naked, and I couldn’t help but scream during the operation. Let’s not mention the details of the operation for the time being. Let’s explain why Yennefer is in a hurry (even the time to prepare the herbs can’t be spared). ??
At present, what is actually being held here is the graduation ceremony of their current students (many kings and ministers have come to participate, including the king of Aedirn), of course, including the transformation ceremony, and the subsequent social ceremony (dancing and the like). After the transformation ceremony, everyone naturally began to socialize - dancing. As a student who has just graduated, after all, he will be the right and left hand of the assigned king in the future. Of course, he must use this opportunity to get in touch with the corresponding king and dance together. Therefore, Yennefer was unwilling to go to Nilfgaard and had to start from the ball. So she must be in time for the dance.
Finally, Yennefer with a new look appeared. He went straight to King Aedirn at the ball and announced his name "Yennefer of Ungerburg". When King Aedirn heard this, he was overjoyed. Isn't this the witch I'm looking for! (It's not that the king is lustful, it's that the king wants to find witches born in his own country). The two meet to dance. Yennefer finally got his wish! It's done! A lot of hard work was not in vain.

(Episode 4) Pfft, it's still divided into episodes...
Time flies, 30 years later... Yennefer is escorting a princess and her child. Thirty years is enough to change a person. Yennefer is tired of the royal life, and she wipes the buttocks of the royal family all day long and becomes the "glorious toilet paper" of the royal family. This is completely different from the ideal in her heart: she can want to become a royal family. The greatest wizard! So she gave up her Uwo life in Aedirn and slipped out. Since he ran out, of course, he had to make a living. She easily found an errand in a small country - escorting the princess and her children. I didn't expect this little thing to become a big trouble...
Who would have thought that the king who had not yet met did not want to let the unnamed princess (the king's future wife) live. A killer was sent to kill her. Yennefer did his best, teleporting all the way, escaping all the way, racing against time. But they were followed! The princess had never been so panicked before, and she couldn't help but scolded Yennefer in a bad tone: "Idiot! You are here to protect me, why didn't you expect this in advance?". Yennefer was angry, and the consequences were severe. On the one hand, when running like this, when the mana will eventually run out, both of them will inevitably die; on the other hand, it is the attitude of the princess that arouses Yennefer's "backbone" and rebellious heart. So, Yennefer teleported away alone, leaving the mother and son to face the assassin...
After a while, Yennefer, who had found his conscience, realized that it was really inappropriate to abandon them and run away alone in a fit of anger, and changed back to rescue them. Despite being stabbed in the shoulder, the child was rescued, but unfortunately the child died. Yennefer was sad. Sitting on the beach for several days, I figured out some things, and finally buried the child... —————————
