Chapter 196 The first epic quest:
healing potions, mana potions, enchanted shirts that can effectively keep warm in all seasons, several large packages of rich-tasting pipe grass and exquisite pipes, fine wines and wines from the worlds of Middle-earth and Azeroth. Delicious food, and a few magic scrolls picked out from the space bracelet of the legendary thunder mage Tesla.
Apart from these little bits and pieces, the thing that occupied the most space on the entire table was the large number of books that Wayne bought back from Arethusa College.
Seeing the dazzling array of gifts piled into a hill, and listening to Wayne's introduction one by one, Geralt, Eskel and Lambert were all stunned. Even Vesemir couldn't maintain his dignity as a teacher. Steady, looking at Wayne with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.
Lambert suddenly swore and asked,
"Damn it, tell me, Wayne, which country's treasury did you rob?"
"These things shouldn't add up to tens of thousands of gold coins, right?"
Wayne heard this He looked at Lambert with the look of a country bumpkin who didn't know anything about the goods, pointed at the books casually, and said: "
These books cost dozens of Oren each, and these one thousand books are worth it." It costs tens of thousands of gold coins."
"A lot of the knowledge contained in it is the missing copy of our demon hunters. It is impossible to buy it on the market. Even if you can buy it, it will cost several times the price." "
Plus The total value of these magic props, hearthstones, magic pockets, and these life-saving potions at critical times is about one hundred thousand gold coins and upwards!" Upon hearing the
words one hundred thousand gold coins, the demon hunters of the Wolf School present were all stunned. , looking at Wayne with an expression like seeing a god, as if he saw a super rich man who spends money like water.
Not just for the Wolf School Demon Hunters, but for any Demon Hunter still alive in the world, even fifty thousand gold coins, let alone one hundred thousand gold coins, is an astronomical sum that they will not be able to save in their lifetime.
One hundred thousand gold coins, the purchasing power in this world, can even directly buy a small town with a few hundred people and buy everything in it.
This is a huge sum of money that many kings have to prepare for a long time before they can come up with it. Hundreds of years ago, the Kingdom of Kevir summoned tens of thousands of mercenaries to help them defeat the army of the Kingdom of Redalia, and it only cost one hundred Around 10,000 gold coins, which is enough wealth to summon an army.
Vesemir quickly calmed down the surprised expression on his face. He put his hand on Wayne's shoulder, patted it hard, and said: "
Child, we accept your offer, but one hundred thousand gold coins, mine Oh my God, can you tell me where you got so much money?"
"Don't put yourself in a dangerous and difficult situation by buying these things. This is not what I expect." Wayne reached out and
patted Vesemir put his arm on his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't worry about my financial situation, teacher."
"Although I owe a little money by buying these things, they are mine. Good friend, and I have also found a new way to make money, and I will be able to solve this debt next year."
As he said that, he took out the top few books from the pile, handed them to Vesemir, and said:
"Teacher, these are the methods and data collected by Arethusa College about our genetic mutation experiments on witchers. They are the research notes of Arzu and Cosimo, the legendary warlocks who were the first to study witchers." "Yes
. For these things, when I find some trustworthy warlocks to work for me, release stabilizing spells, replace more advanced equipment, and research more stable formulas, then the mortality rate of our grass experiment will no longer be what it used to be. , narrowly escaped death."
"Those children who join the school will no longer die in vain like in the past."
Looking at the few precious materials that Wayne gave him, and listening to Wayne's imagination, Visser Mir subconsciously asked:
"Wayne, why are you doing this? This is obviously nothing to do with you."
Wayne stopped smiling after hearing this, looked at Vesemir with a serious expression, and said:
"Teacher, I know that you have always wanted to continue the profession of demon hunter, and you don't want the inheritance of demon hunter to be interrupted." "
But you have to take into account the mortality rate of the grass experiment, and you don't want more children to die in vain." "
But . My idea is to go one step further. We protect people and collect rewards. This is a profession that should be respected. However, due to all kinds of slander, slander and hatred, demon hunters have become street rats and have been subjected to unwarranted treatment. accusations and abuse."
"I hope that witchers can get the respect and status they deserve, and I hope that every one of my witcher brothers can live a happy life." "To do this, you must
first Let us become stronger, united, and have more power." "
My purpose is not to create more witchers, but to unite the existing witchers and let us obtain what originally belongs to us. To help everyone live a better life."
After hearing what Wayne said, several old demon hunters present looked at Wayne with complicated expressions.
They discovered that Wayne, the young demon hunter, was indeed different from them. Most ordinary demon hunters, after completing the trial and becoming demon hunters, most of them had no idea about their identity and future life. With a pessimistic attitude, everyone lives a dreamy life, living day by day.
There are few people like Wayne who have hope for the future and even want to change the world's prejudice against witchers.
Vesemir looked through the books in his hands with a complicated expression. Several other demon hunters also looked at Wayne with different expressions. After dozens of seconds, the old demon hunter spoke to Wayne in a serious tone. Asked:
"Wayne, have you thought clearly?"
"This is a very difficult road. The decline of the demon hunter is not only due to the decrease in the number of monsters, but also a variety of complex reasons."
"If you want to unite demon hunters from other schools and integrate our forces together, you will have to face many enemies, and the difficulties in the future will be countless."
"Although I don't want the inheritance of the Demon Hunter to be cut off, I don't want to entrust this responsibility to young people like you." "
Back then, I experienced the strongest period of the Demon Hunter, and I watched how it turned out. It has declined step by step until now."
"But if you have the will to take on this responsibility, I won't stop you, Wayne." "
You are still young now, you can wait a few years, when you have enough After you experience it, tell me your decision."
As the old man finished speaking, an unusual melody sounded in Wayne's mind.
After the melody, there was another soft ding.
The mission is triggered, an epic mission.
[Rebuilding the Demon Hunter Order]
Ding! Epic-level tasks are staged reward tasks. They are divided into different numbers of stages according to the difficulty of the task. You will receive a reward for each stage you complete.
The host will decide when to complete the final stage of the task. Depending on the completion of the task, you will receive a final task reward ranging from 30% to 300%. Current mission progress: 0/10.
Next stage reward: 300 experience, master level treasure chest*1.
Hearing the completely different mission completion mode in his mind, Wayne was stunned for a moment, and then after a little calculation, he discovered how rich the rewards of this epic mission were.
If he can complete this task according to the highest specification of 300%, then he is very likely to obtain more than 10,000 experience points and nine master-level treasure chests, as well as three epic-level treasure chests, not to mention the items in the treasure chests. How precious is it? The mission experience alone is enough for him to reach about eight or nine levels.
Moreover, rebuilding the Witcher Order is indeed something Wayne wants to accomplish, not just because he wants to make Vesemir and the brothers of the Wolf School better off.
At the same time, he also knew that when he went to some more dangerous and broader worlds, if he wanted to complete some difficult tasks, it would not be easy for one person to complete them, such as dealing with a force, a country, or even an entire race. , there must be more helpers and more subordinates to complete these tasks more easily.
Wayne calmed down the slightly excited mood in his heart and looked at Vesemir. He did not refute the old demon hunter's suggestion that he take more time to think. Anyway, the mission has been taken over now, so he said nothing. Affected, he said with a sincere expression:
"Teacher, don't worry, I will not act recklessly. I know very well that even if you want to revitalize the profession of demon hunters, it will not take a day or two or a year or two."
" Maybe it will take me several years, decades, or even a lifetime to complete this thing." "
I have already made this mental preparation. No matter what I choose in the end, I will start with little things and work hard. Improve our lives little by little."
As he spoke, Wayne looked at the pile of books on the table, and then said to Vesemir:
"Retrieving these books is only the first step. Wait until next year or the year after, I will hire a We need a group of trustworthy workers to help us renovate Kaermohan Castle and strengthen its defense." "
In the future, I will try my best to help fellow demon hunters from other schools, convince them, and let them see the various schools. The hope of getting back together again."
"Don't worry about the financial consumption. I have found a stable financial income. Hum, to put it bluntly, even if I can feed all the demon hunters by myself, It won't be a problem."
"At that time, teacher, you can just stay in the castle and supervise them to complete this work."
After saying that, Wayne turned back to look at Geralt, Lambert and Eskel, and smiled. Then he said:
"Everyone has endured this shabby castle for many years, hasn't it?"
The others came to their senses after hearing this and looked at each other. They actually had different opinions on the plan that Wayne mentioned, but they did not express it. Regarding what this junior wanted to do, Those of them who are seniors will not really stop him.
This evening, Wayne prepared a lot of delicacies, not only delicacies from the wizarding world, but also specialties he brought back from other worlds.
A group of demon hunters drank wine, ate delicious food, and chatted for a long time until late at night before they dispersed. However, their hearts could not calm down for a long time about the things Wayne mentioned.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Wayne has stayed in Kaer Morhen for a week. In addition to doing combat exercises such as swordsmanship and seals, he also often goes to Kaer Morhen's study to look through the books he brought back. Although we have been living in a small castle, every day passes in a hurry.
One afternoon, he found the old witcher who was sitting by the fire, studying Azul's notes. He took out a bottle soaked in unknown blue meat from his arms, and asked the old witcher a question. ask.
After listening to Wayne's request, the old witcher asked with some hesitation:
"Wayne, you have just completed the witcher's mutation in less than four years. Do you really want to do this now? Blue mutation inducer transplantation?" "
Although Eskel completed the transplantation of red mutation inducer last year, that is because the gene mutation in his body has long been stable and has been able to adapt to the new mutation."
" But I still think it's too early for you to transplant mutagenizers! You'd better think about it more."
Vesemir did not lower his voice, and his words quickly aroused the attention of several other people in the hall. A witcher's attention.
Lambert, who had already lost all his money and could only watch Geralt and Eskel play Gwent, immediately became interested. He walked to the two of them in a few steps and picked up the device on the table. There was a bottle with a large blue mutation inducer, and he said with a tsk in his mouth:
"It's another large mutation inducer, and it's still a rare blue color. Boy Wayne, you're so lucky. I've executed so many commissions and killed a lot of monsters. I've seen the most A medium-sized mutagen, I have never seen a large one."
"What kind of monster did you dig it out of?"
Wayne didn't have any proud expression on his face, he just smiled and said:
"An ancient deer-headed spirit. , a mission entrusted to me by Triss just before we conquered the evil god Dagon."
While the two were talking, Geralt and Eskel also stopped playing cards and gathered around. Eskel looked at Looking at Vesemir's expression, he patted Wayne on the shoulder and said,
"Wayne, don't worry, just wait a few more years. Vesemir is also worried about your safety." "
I transplanted the large red mutation inducer. Sometimes, I feel very uncomfortable and the physical burden is very heavy." "
Every mutation is a possible death risk for us demon hunters." "We
must act carefully to minimize the danger. ."
Looking at the concerned expressions of several people, I knew that they were simply concerned about their own safety.
So, after thinking about it, Wayne decided to show his trump card and dispel everyone's doubts. He said to Vesemir with a firm expression:
"Teacher, don't worry about the safety of dangerous transplant surgeries."
"Actually, I never told you. , I received the sacred blessing from the Lady of the Lake." "
It was a very powerful purification ritual. She repaired all the hidden wounds in my body and the disharmonious parts of my genes. I have become a knight of the Lady of the Lake. My body has been greatly enhanced compared to ordinary people."
As he spoke, Wayne looked at his fellow demon hunters, looked at Lambert's body a few times, and said:
"I'm not bragging. My current physical fitness is definitely the most powerful among the demon hunters. Whether it's strength or speed, whether it's reaction ability, or my mastery of chaos magic, it's far beyond Your expectations."
"If you still have doubts, I can compare with Lambert and let everyone see my growth over the past year."
