Chapter 209 Cat School Assassin (Thanks to Mr. Rain Mirror for the reward)
After hearing some news about the current Viper School, Wayne also talked about some of the current situation of the Wolf School with Leisuo and others.
When they learned that the former Wolf School Kaermohan had also been attacked by mobs and warlocks, and now its talent was withering, with less than ten Wolf School demon hunters left, everyone looked at each other speechless, a kind of The feeling of sympathy for each other arose spontaneously in their hearts.
Not only that, Wayne also told Leisuo about the Griffin School. When these three demon hunters of the Viper School heard that the Griffin School, which once had the best reputation, had also been defeated by warlocks, and now only After two or three demon hunters, they all clenched their fists uncontrollably, with gloomy expressions, not knowing what they were thinking of.
Later, while drinking, everyone talked freely about their dissatisfaction and the strange people and strange things they encountered in their adventurous lives. It was considered a very pleasant conversation.
After more than a dozen bottles of good wine, everyone's face turned red and their blood surged. Everything they said was sincere and very enjoyable.
Except for a generous man like Wayne, there are few opportunities to drink so much good wine in one go.
After three drinks, it was time to get down to business. Leisuo held a wine bottle in his hand, looked at Wayne with amber vertical pupils, and asked a little drunkenly: "Wayne, tell me about you
. Entrust it, you said this is a commission from you, is there anything you need our help with?" After
hearing this, Wayne also put down his wine glass, looked at several people from the Viper School, thought for a while and said:
"Originally, I was going to I invited you to serve as bodyguards for a special team of mine, but yesterday, I found some special information, the locations of some master-level suit drawings for each school of our demon hunters, so I changed my mind." "Let's
. First in Toussaint, after completing a few commissions, let's talk about the next commissions."
"Grandmaster suit drawings?"
Leisuo was stunned when he heard this, and then asked emotionally:
"Do you have the master-level equipment blueprints of the Viper School?" The
master-level equipment blueprints of the Viper School have been lost during the encirclement and suppression by the usurper's soldiers. If the blueprints can be recovered, for Lei Suo, who has a strong sense of responsibility, It will be a very meaningful thing, no wonder he is a little excited.
Wayne smiled and nodded, and said:
"Except for the Cat School, several other schools have news about blueprints."
"You should have heard of Elf Armor Master Tyne Seer, he is a famous person in your south. Armor Forging Master, these equipment blueprints were lost when our former demon hunter predecessors came to this master to make equipment."
Leisuo nodded in confusion, and then he requested with a serious expression:
"Wayne, If there are master-level equipment blueprints of the Viper School among these targets, I hope to make a copy so that I can bring them back to our school. This is the responsibility of our Viper School demon hunters." For this request, Wayne did not have
any After hesitating, he immediately smiled and nodded in agreement. In fact, when he was talking to Tainsel, he had already received a master-level task from this master, which was to find the master-level equipment blueprints of these five schools. And now, He planned to entrust this task to Lei Suo and his two companions. The money spent would definitely be less than the rewards of the system, and the experience and treasure chest would be in vain. It was simply a waste of the system.
In the future, if these master demon hunters join his camp and encounter other high-level commissions and difficult tasks that require a lot of time to complete, he can also hand them over to others in this way. If you complete it, you will get the reward for free and continue to harvest the system's wool.
Immediately, he told Lei Suo and others the location of the Viper School's equipment blueprints without reservation, and asked them to bring back the loot there by entrustment.
Wayne still has great trust in the credibility of Reso and others.
In the original story, Geralt, Leitho and others met unexpectedly and saved Leitho's life at the hands of a dragon lizard.
Then Geralt was taken away by the Wild Hunt, and Leitho and the others directly protected Yennefer for nearly a year. Finally, the Nilfgaard Emperor captured Yennefer and forced Leitho and others to assassinate the Northern King.
Faced with such a dangerous task, Leitho and others did not refuse. They ventured into the north and assassinated the king of Aedirn. Unexpectedly, in the end, during the assassination of Foltest, they were killed by the amnesiac Geralt. .
It can really be said that it is the end of love and righteousness, and it is extremely unlucky.
In the final stage of everyone eating, drinking and chatting, Reso revealed a very interesting news to Wayne.
Because in the past, the Viper School, like the Cat School, sometimes took on some assassination missions when they lived in the south, so they had contacts and connections with the local Thieves and Assassins Guilds, and were considered to be the top assassination masters. It is also one of the main reasons why the usurper wants to take the demon hunters of the Viper School for his own use.
When Reso came to Toussaint to hunt down pterodactyls, he accidentally learned a piece of news from the Assassin's Guild in the South. Someone wanted to assassinate Beauclair's palace illusion master, Artorios Vigo, also known as Artorios Vigo. He is the uncle of the sorceress Fringilla Vigo.
Moreover, Leisuo also learned from special channels that a demon hunter from the Cat School has already taken over this task. He is probably already in Toussaint and may take action at any time.
This news surprised and confused Wayne. What was going on? Was he just like the protagonist in the story? Wherever you go, there are more things going on.
This was my first time in Toussaint, and I met people from the Viper School and the Cat School. It was really a coincidence!
But then, Wayne also became interested in the cat school. There has always been a saying in the wizarding world that the reason why the social status of witchers is so rejected by rulers and ordinary people is partly responsible for accidentally taking away children, and the assassins of the cat school also partly responsible.
It is precisely because of this group of highly skilled assassins who specialize in killing various powerful figures that the ruling class has become seriously afraid of demon hunters, believing that the existence of demon hunters poses a serious threat to the rulers.
Therefore, various rumors that were unfavorable to witchers began to be spread, ruining the reputation of witchers, and even adding fuel to the flames, accelerating the decline and demise of the witcher profession.
In fact, this statement is not unreasonable. When the demon hunters of the Cat School split, there was a problem with the mutation formula and equipment, coupled with some human-caused accidents, which led to the failure of every Cat School demon hunter. People's personalities are very extreme, capricious, irritable and murderous.
In addition, most of them are engaged in the profession of assassination, specializing in killing people, regardless of men, women, or children. Therefore, the demon hunters of this school are hated and feared by everyone.
However, similar to the witchers of other schools, although the witchers of the cat school do not have their own fixed academy, they live in caravans similar to gypsies.
However, in the past year, their headquarters was also besieged by the human army, resulting in heavy casualties. Although the Cat School may have the most survivors among all schools, it has basically withered completely, and it is difficult to survive again. Rise up.
Wayne kept the news in mind. He had not yet decided whether to tell Fringilla or Francesca the news. On the one hand, this matter involved the Cat School of Demon Hunters. On the other hand, it was just Ray. A piece of information obtained through request cannot be confirmed whether it is true or not.
But now that he knew the news, he couldn't waste it. He was going to find time to meet with this possible cat-sect demon hunter, and maybe he could get something from him.
After having enough wine and food, Wayne did not break his promise. Adhering to the mentality of eating, drinking and having fun together, he took three demon hunters from the Viper School to find the most upscale brothel in Beauclair, and gave each of Reso and his companions I ordered three young and beautiful girls and four for myself, and everyone indulged themselves.
As the saying goes, the four irons in life have carried guns together, been in the same window together, been in jail together, and been in prostitution together.
Although this statement is just a joke, it is still very useful in bringing everyone closer.
In the afternoon of the next day, when everyone gathered to talk again, they had become much closer to each other, as if they had become good friends.
Wayne was not stingy either. He stored almost thousands of bottles of intermediate healing potions and intermediate mana potions, and distributed a few bottles to several people. Then he paid them two hundred crowns in advance for the mission, allowing Leisuo and him to The companions are fully prepared for battle, and then complete the task of finding master-level equipment blueprints.
After Leisuo and others left, Wayne returned to the Red Moon Hotel and took a short rest for the afternoon in the room he rented.
After dusk, he changed into light clothes, put on his invisibility cloak, and walked towards the Beauclair Palace.
If he wanted to catch the demon hunter from the Cat School, he had to find the residence of the court mage Artorios in advance and collect information in advance.
According to the current inference, maybe this cat-sect demon hunter is also checking the mission target. If he is lucky, this kitten may fall directly into his hands.
Toussaint did not have its own organized army, but relied on several regiments of wandering knights to maintain border and road security. The capital Beauclair and palace security were responsible for the Duke's Guard.
Although nominally a vassal of Nilfgaard, Toussaint enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and the empire generally does not interfere in or participate in their internal affairs or violate their borders.
When Wayne wore an invisibility cloak and came to Beauclair's palace, he found that the defense here was indeed quite lax. Perhaps it was because of the long-standing peace. Although the guards soldiers here were brightly dressed and had bright armor, the weapons and equipment in their hands looked quite good. They are excellent, but their expressions and temperament lack a spirit that has been truly tempered by blood and fire, as if they were young soldiers who were about to collapse at the first touch.
Wayne basically didn't spend much effort to bypass all the guards and enter the interior of the palace.
It has to be said that the palace of Beauclair is more beautiful than the city of Beauclair. The overall structure is both luxurious and artistic. There are various works of art and statues everywhere. The ladies and servants who come and go are also very exquisitely dressed, as if they are from a fairy tale. Just like the palace.
Wayne was a country bumpkin in his previous life. He had never traveled to a foreign country. He liked the scenery very much, so he remained invisible and wandered around the palace while scouting. Soon he came to a In the back garden, there are all kinds of flowers blooming and the scenery is quite beautiful.
And in the center of this garden, a beautiful girl wearing a black dress, with long black hair, protruding forward and backward, revealing a white patch of snow on her chest and a bottomless ravine, was sitting in the fountain with a sad look on her face. Next to him, he was holding a picked flower in his hand, thinking about something.
Seeing such a scenery, Wayne suddenly felt that the flowers and green leaves around him were a bit dim. With a smirk on his lips, he walked quietly to the girl's side and unscrupulously enjoyed the close-up view that only he could see. The scenery to arrive.
A few minutes later, Wayne, who had feasted his eyes on it, sat in a pavilion not far from the girl, while enjoying the evening breeze, he fell into thinking.
And just when he was thinking about how to find the court mage Artorios in this huge palace without disturbing others.
Another girl with blond hair, an exaggerated figure, and a gorgeous blue dress walked over from the other side of the garden.
When she saw the black-haired girl sitting by the fountain, the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist, and she shouted:
"Xiana, I heard a rumor. They said you are going to be deported."
