Chapter 206 New Ability Points and Viper School
Through Gwent and pipeweed, Wayne became a well-known and popular figure in Beauclair City in a short period of time, and met many powerful people. connections.
After his deliberate inquiring, he soon obtained some interesting information from these manor owners, nobles, businessmen and celebrities.
First of all, the Duke's two daughters, Anna Henrietta and Sylvia Anna, are almost coming of age, still living in the palace of Beauclair, and are not yet married.
However, due to the Curse of the Black Sun, the current noble class generally has a disgusting and even fearful attitude towards Sianna, and does not support the Duke's eldest daughter's right to inherit the lord.
What's even worse is that as Sianna's parents, the current Duke and Duchess of Beauclair believe in the Curse of the Black Sun more than anyone else and are a firm supporter of this prophecy. He believes that Sianna, who is burdened with the Curse of the Black Sun, will bring great consequences to the entire kingdom. bring disaster.
Rumors have even circulated in the palace that when Sianna comes of age, she will be expelled and exiled by the Duke, and the Duke's youngest daughter Anna Henrietta will inherit the title.
Anyone who has played The Witcher 3 games knows very well about this plot. The final result is that Syanna was expelled and suffered a lot of torture during the expulsion process. She joined a gang of thieves and returned to Towson twenty years later. Special, using high-level vampires to seek revenge, and trying to use gangs of thieves to cause chaos.
When mentioning this, I have to talk about the Curse of the Black Sun. The Curse of the Black Sun is also called the Curse of the Dark Sun, and the Curse of the Black Sun. The Black Sun refers to a solar eclipse, a prophecy prophesied by the mage Etibad that predicts the ultimate destruction of human civilization at the hands of sixty girls born during or after a specific solar eclipse.
This seemingly joking prophecy from a wizard led to dozens of girls from wealthy and even aristocratic families being killed or imprisoned in towers because they were believed to be haunted, cursed or blackmailed. Defiled by the sun.
Among them are several quite famous characters, such as Sianna, the princess Renfeng who had an affair with Geralt, and Eskel's destined daughter Deidre Admayne.
The daughters of these aristocratic families were all hated and tortured by their parents and the people around them because they had been cursed by the black sun since childhood, resulting in quite miserable fates.
The second piece of news was that a manor owner who owned a large vineyard on the outskirts of Beauclair told Wayne an interesting piece of news. Yesterday at dusk, a barrel washer in his manor was washing barrels by the river. At that time, I saw a gray-green dragon flying in the sky and flying into the Carberta Forest.
This huge beast flying in the sky scared the barrel washer so much that he fell into the river and even lost two oak barrels. Some people thought he was lying, while others said they had seen it too.
The manor owner used this matter as a topic of conversation and had told it to many people. Wayne also overheard this information by chance.
This made him involuntarily think of the demon hunter chasing a giant pterodactyl that Francesca had mentioned.
After receiving the news, he immediately rode a newly purchased horse to the Carberta Forest that the manor owner told him about.
After entering the forest, he quickly hid the newly purchased horse in a cave. After killing some evil spirits in the cave, he also sprinkled some dragon excrement at the entrance of the cave to drive away possible evil spirits. The beast of existence.
Fortunately, his ability to tame animals is very useful. Even the newly purchased mount is very obedient and has a natural affinity for him. If this cave was not inhabited by evil spirits instead of animals like bears and wolves, maybe it would be possible. He can also convince horses to be friendly with them.
After placing the mount worth two hundred crowns, Wayne immediately put on the magic flying carpet and flew towards the heights of the Carberta Forest.
Similar to the habits of most flying monsters such as the Griffon Dragon, pterodactyls also like to live at high altitudes. After all, they are very large. If they live in a place with crowded trees, it will affect their landing and takeoff. , very inconvenient.
Unfortunately, the Carbota Forest was too big. Wayne flew over the forest for half an hour, and even used animal language to ask some birds he encountered on the road, but he could not find any trace of the pterodactyl.
But unexpectedly, I got unexpected information from the mouth of a sika deer.
The little deer told Wayne that beside the small pond where it had just drank, there was a very nice-looking blue-purple light ball floating in the air.
And around this ball of light, there are many beautiful flowers and plants growing.
After receiving the news, Wayne immediately became energetic and used his driver's license magic flying carpet to quickly fly towards the small pond that the deer had mentioned.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to discover this beautiful place, and above the pond was a magic node that was shining with magic light.
This is a brand new magic node that is not recorded in the Warlock Brotherhood. In other words, most of the magic nodes in the Southern Kingdom are not recorded in the Warlock Brotherhood.
Faced with such an unexpected surprise, Wayne certainly had no reason to refuse. When he came to this magic node, he began to absorb the magic power inside.
Ding! Magic node detected, do you want to absorb it?
Ding! The magic absorption has been completed, and 3 ability points have been obtained. The current total number of ability points is: 6 points. With six ability points, he was still four-fifths away from unlocking the bloodline of the next step of ancient blood.
But this time, when Wayne sensed the world on the other side of the crack through the newly formed crack, he found that the opposite side was a world that was quite lacking in magic power. The amount of magic power in the aura revealed was quite small, almost only a dozen or so times that of the wizarding world. one part.
Moreover, this magic power is quite neutral, with neither evil nor light aura, and its activity is very low, which makes Wayne relieved.
Based on the quality of this magic power, Wayne could judge that the opposite world should be a fairly low-magic world with no overly powerful enemies and a very high exploration value.
However, he is currently busy looking for the demon hunter who is chasing the pterodactyl, and has no time to explore the world.
So I just recorded the coordinates in my own map, and then used an unskilled sealing array to seal the space crack.
The Space Seal Seal can be said to be the first warlock spell he learned. His skills were not enough and he had to scrape together materials. Although his skills were not yet mature, when the quality of the casting materials was good enough, he could make up for the technical shortcomings. Not enough.
And perhaps it was a combination of good luck. When Wayne had dealt with the space crack and continued to search for traces of pterodactyl on the magic flying carpet, he was suddenly attracted by the sound of a bomb explosion.
After hearing the unique sound of gunpowder explosion, he felt happy. In this era, there were not many people who could skillfully use bombs. Apart from some professional blasters who needed to carry out mining work, there were only demon hunters. And the alchemist has this ability.
Immediately, without much hesitation, Wayne immediately drove the flying carpet and flew quickly towards the direction where the explosion sound came from.
Sure enough, before he could fly for long, he immediately heard a huge roar of a beast, and a huge beast with bronze scales all over its body, a huge lizard head, and a total length of nearly ten meters, jumped out of the woods.
Its chest was probably exploded by an alchemy bomb. Some of its scales had fallen off and blood oozed out. The surrounding scales were covered with scorched marks.
However, compared to its size, this injury is not particularly serious, and this beast seems to be used to being the king. Faced with its own injury, it was very angry, and did not think about running away, but began to face the ground launched an attack.
Upon seeing this, Wayne immediately controlled the magic flying carpet and flew above their battle. From top to bottom, he could clearly see the situation below.
Fighting this huge pterodactyl were two demon hunters wearing black light armor. One was a very strong, bald, round-faced, evil-scarred man, and the other was a slender man with short black hair. Little man.
At this time, the battle had only taken place for less than four or five minutes. The wings of the pterodactyl had been slashed several times by the bald and round-faced demon hunter. The flesh wings were broken and dripping with blood, making it lose the ability to fly. And that The short demon hunter was quite agile in his movements. He kept brandishing his steel sword and used sneak attacks to attract the attention of the pterodactyl and create opportunities for his companions to attack.
The two of them cooperated very well. Judging from the state of their faces, it seemed that they had drunk the demon hunter's potion. All body functions were at their peak, and they were at the upper hand in the battle with this pterodactyl.
Seeing this situation, Wayne didn't bother to intervene in the battle between them, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. He just controlled the magic flying carpet, suspended it in mid-air, and waited quietly.
Soon, the battle between the demon hunter and the pterodactyl lasted for five minutes. Through cooperation, the two demon hunters successfully consumed most of the pterodactyl's physical strength, caused a lot of damage to its body, and made it lose strength. control of the body.
Finally, the strong demon hunter with a bald head and a round face took advantage of an opening to climb onto the back of the pterodactyl, aimed at the back of its head, and launched a fatal blow.
After the dust settled, the strong-bodied, bald and round-faced demon hunter did not go to collect his trophies. Instead, he and his companions, holding steel swords in their hands, looked at the magic fly standing with a cautious expression. Wayne on the blanket said in a low voice:
"That friend in the sky, who are you? Why are you waiting there?"
Because he had guessed in advance that he would meet a demon hunter, Wayne had already lost his disguise at this time. He was wearing green dragon leather armor, and he deliberately placed the badge of the Wolf School on the outside of the armor. The amber cat's head was very conspicuous. He probably saw these features, so the demon hunters on the ground would treat him like this. Friends are worthy of each other.
Hearing his question, Wayne showed a gentle smile on his face. While lowering the flying height of the magic flying carpet, letting it land about seven or eight meters away from the two demon hunters, he said: "Two demon hunters.
" Friends, I am Wayne, the witcher from the Wolf School." "
I heard that a witcher is tracking a huge pterodactyl, so I came here to look for you." The
strong witcher with a bald head and a round face heard this. He was stunned for a moment and asked with a vigilant tone:
"I am Leisuo from the Viper School."
"Wayne from the Wolf School, why are you looking for us?"
