| Also, remember that line of dialogue when Geralt first met the GM (hehe) in the swanp in Chapter five. GM told him that he Geralt didn't owe him anything and that he laughed at Geralt's philosophy (kind of weird if they didn't know each other at some point). And yes, GM repeats the phrases that you told him in chapter 4.
As to why salamanders were looking for Alvin, I don't think they wanted to kill him and not necessarily Javed knew who he was. Either the GM wanted to somehow double his power by influencing Alvin or Javed wanted to experiment with him, whoever was the initiator of the search. Although, the GM should have know that Alvin was there at the time.
As for how Geralt returned to life, that's the biggest mystery.
(BOOK SPOILER)
In the book he gets killed by the angry mob and then transported to another dimension. He is wounded, but he is alive. Sapkowsky himself said that Geralt didn't die at the end. Although how he got back to his world and for what reason that's the biggest mystery because he couldn't do that on his own.
(END BOOK SPOILER)
It's interesting though that the Wild Hunt king told Geralt when first met in Act I that Geralt is his greatest tool or something like this. May be Geralt's actions would cause the beginning of the new Ice Age.
And one more interesting thing that I noticed. In chapter 4 the hermit tells of 5 graves, occupied by the knights of the lady of the lake. Although he said that the last one is empty and awaits the future knight. Soon after that Geralt is knighted...looks like a newly dug grave for him, right after he got resurrected. Although this time he won't be a novice when he dies...again hehe.  |
