Chapter 123 Return to
the Blue Mountains of Kaer Mohan and Kaer Mohan Castle.
After nine months of absence, Wayne re-entered the castle of this wolf school demon hunter.
Before he and Geralt could lead their mounts to the stables in the castle, the door to the castle hall was opened from inside, and a tall and strong old man with white hair and beard came out. He is the great mentor of the Wolf School of Witchers, Vesemir.
He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. When he saw that the people coming were Geralt and Wayne, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face unconsciously.
"Geralt, Wayne, kids, welcome back?"
"You guys came back really early this year!"
Hearing this, Geralt also showed a faint smile and nodded towards Vesemir, but said nothing. , he is a sullen person and not very good at expressing his feelings.
Wayne handed the mount to Geralt, then stepped forward and gave the old demon hunter a warm hug, just like a wanderer returning home after a long absence hugs his elders.
The earliest person to return to Kaer Morhen every year is undoubtedly the old witcher. He usually returns more than half a month earlier than other witchers, cleans the castles that have been uninhabited for a long time, and then waits. Bringing those children back home who have left home.
The old demon hunter also responded enthusiastically to Wayne's hug. He patted Wayne on the back, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become more kind. He said with a smile: "My child, when I see that you are safe and sound, I
will Don't worry, it seems that you have really had a good year this year, and your body is stronger than when you left."
Wayne hugged the old man for a few seconds before letting go. He looked at the sky and found that the time was close to noon, his face With a smile on his face, he said,
"I'm doing really well, teacher." "
It's almost noon, let me go to the kitchen to make some food. We brought back a few bottles of good wine. Let's eat and chat later." "
Yes. Yes, Lambert and Eskel, they are not back yet."
Vesemir shook his head and said with some regret:
"The two of them usually come back late, and sometimes they are delayed due to things, and finally come back in the wind and snow."
Wayne nodded and said with some regret:
"Then ignore them for now. I'm going to cook. By the way, teacher, I have a gift for you later."
An hour later, the three of them sat around the ancient wooden table in the hall, with firewood in the fireplace next to it. The pile was burning, and in the corner beside the fireplace, enough wood for a month had been stacked, which the old man had obviously prepared for the coming winter.
Above the fireplace, there are some processed game meats that are being smoked by fireworks. This is one of the ways to preserve food. The smoked and roasted meat will not deteriorate even after a winter. .
The warm breath dissipated the coldness of winter, and the delicious meals on the table also made several weather-beaten demon hunters feel happy.
"Teacher, try some of the new dishes I've developed this year, crispy fried chicken, spicy hot pot, and this one. This snack filled with meat is called dumplings. It's especially delicious when fried like I do."
At the dinner table, Wayne was like a filial child, constantly and enthusiastically introducing various delicacies to Vesemir. With his own cooking skills and systematic additions, even simple meals seemed to be delicacies. The deliciousness is equally addictive.
The white wolf Geralt had no time to speak. He kept stuffing various delicacies into his mouth, with a look of happiness on his face unconsciously.
They returned from Vizima all the way back to Kaer Morhen. It had been a month since they had eaten a feast cooked by Wayne. Tasting these delicacies again made Geralt feel like he couldn't stop.
The old demon hunter was also very happy when eating. Not only was the food delicious, but he also felt a sense of happiness when dining with his relatives.
But after taking a few bites, his attention returned to Wayne's experiences over the past year.
The old man had a smile on his face and said in a slightly teasing tone:
"So, you have really had a lot of experiences this year." "
The evil god, the Lady of the Lake, the golden dragon, the giant, the green dragon, and the gryphon school of demon hunters." "
I have never heard of the one just now . A demon hunter who has been out for a year will encounter so many bizarre events. He is just like the protagonist of a novel in a script. Wherever he goes, something will happen." Wayne scratched his head, and he heard that
Visser The hidden meaning in Mir's words is to warn him not to always look for trouble, but to grow up peacefully.
"Teacher, although I have indeed experienced a lot of adventures, my gains are also very rich." "
You see, in less than a year, I bought a big house in Vizima City. I got my own master-level silver sword and mount, and also gained many friends." "
You know, I like to make friends. Every time I have a friend, there will be one more when we encounter difficulties. Help."
Vesemir was noncommittal about Wayne's point of view, and said with a hint of emotion in his tone:
"When they are in trouble, you will also be involved in trouble unconsciously."
"Child , your achievements in the past year really surprised me. I am not dissatisfied with your attitude towards life. I just think that you should be calmer and not so impatient. We still have a long time." "For demon
hunting For people, you are still too young, even for ordinary people, you are only a child under twenty years old." Seeing that the old demon hunter seemed to be about to start preaching, Jay, who was drinking beer, Lott winked at Wayne and told him to think of a solution quickly, otherwise, after the old demon hunter started preaching, he would not be able to find peace for at least half an hour.
Seeing this, Wayne coughed lightly, took out a red meat ball soaked in a glass jar from his pocket, placed it on the table, and then asked Vesemir: "Teacher, I heard about the Demon Hunter of the
Griffin School. George said that this is a large red mutation inducer that can improve the strength, agility and reaction speed of our demon hunters. Is this true?"
Upon hearing this, Vesemir also stopped preaching. He reached for the large red mutation inducer that Wayne had placed in the bottle, and observed it before his eyes.
Then he said with some emotion:
"This is a very rare and very rare large red mutation inducer. Only a very powerful monster can have such a thing." "
This is what you said, from Willen's The one obtained from the giant's body?"
Wayne nodded and said,
"Yes, teacher, without the help of the golden dragon Borch and the master demon hunter George of the Griffin School, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to defeat him so easily. That giant."
Listening to Wayne's somewhat ostentatious speech, Vesemir stroked his white beard without saying a word to refute.
Although most demon hunters are lonely, not to mention good friends, there are only a few acquaintances.
But I have to say that sometimes connections are really a very powerful force. When you have enough ability to gather your own connections, you can often exert a power far beyond what others imagine.
From a certain point of view, making connections is also a way to increase strength. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you have more friends, you will always be dragged into all kinds of troubles unconsciously.
After observing the bottle containing the red meat ball for a few minutes, Vesemir carefully placed it on the table, considered it for a few seconds before saying, "
I have also heard of George from the Griffin School. This suggestion is not wrong, but he probably doesn't know that you have just completed the Witcher Trial less than a year ago, and you are completely just a novice." "
Transplant this large red mutant now, it will be good for you. It's too early to say."
"You should also know that our green grass trial is to use various medicines and monster body tissues to infect our bodies, let our bodies adapt to the operation of chaotic magic, and change our The genetic structure of the body, thus making us witchers.”
"Actually, during the Green Grass Trial, you had already been transplanted with mutation inducers." "
But at that time, you were still a child and your body was very weak, so you were also transplanted with extremely weak mutation inducers." "
I remember your body That one is the green mutation inducer extracted from an Anderegg embryo."
"It can make your body stronger, so that your body can barely withstand the changes caused by the mutation experiment."
said At this point, Vesemir glanced at Geralt, who had been silent and just eating vegetables, and then said:
"Among our wolf school, only Geralt has withstood two mutation inductions. "
A red mutation inducer that increases strength and agility, and a blue mutation inducer that enhances the magic of chaos." "
Even in the entire history of the witcher, there are few who can be like him. This way he can withstand so many mutations."
"This also makes him inherently much stronger than ordinary demon hunters."
Wayne was also a little surprised when he heard this, although this matter was slightly mentioned in the original book and the game. A few sentences later, but not as detailed as what Vesemir said.
It can only be said that Jie Ritian is worthy of being the protagonist. He has been destined to be an extraordinary person since he was born.
On the contrary, if it were not for the impact of time travel, my body would probably have died on the mutation experiment platform.
Seeing that Wayne didn't speak, Vesemir coughed lightly and then added:
"So my suggestion is that you don't need to be so anxious to transplant this large mutant. It's still too early for your body."
"It will be safer to transplant this large mutant after your body has grown to a certain level and has fully adapted to the subsequent effects of the mutation experiment."
Wayne nodded when he heard this. Although his body has received the blessing of the Lady of the Lake, even among demon hunters, he is already considered the top existence. However, mutation experiments are too profound for anyone to say. Not sure what to expect.
At this time, it is always safer to listen to the advice of the elders.
However, Wayne changed his subject and said:
"Teacher, since it is too early for me to use this large mutant, let me let others use it first." "
Geralt, Lambert Or Eskel, it's just a waste to keep it."
"I think in a few years, when I can use this thing, I won't be short of it."
