Chapter 214 Gwent Level LV10
The Valley of Nine is located in a gorge of the Sansredo River that has been flooded by the river.
It was still early spring, and although the temperature in Toussaint was much higher than in the north, the temperature underwater was still quite cold.
Well, for a witcher like Wayne, the coldness of the water is nothing to worry about.
With the help of the Hekna Talisman, he dived into the river quite easily and soon reached the bottom of the river.
However, because this is the wild, there are a large number of wild water ghosts living underwater. When they see someone entering the water, they immediately surround them with roars and screams like bees eyeing nectar.
However, when faced with Wayne, who had dozens of strung crossbows hidden in his space bracelet, they were quickly shot through their vital points like dumplings and sank to the bottom of the river.
It's a pity that these monster materials are not valuable. Wayne once used materials like water ghost brains to sell to Vivian's trophy collection station. In the end, they were not even worth an Oren, and were even more valuable than when Wayne sold them to a warlock. The prices are much lower.
Don't look at Wayne's lavish spending now, but except for the valuable and recyclable trophies that he keeps in his collection, the rest are sold directly to Vivian, and he can get a lot back in every battle. funds.
This means that you should make money and spend money. Boys should be kind to themselves when they go out.
Thinking of such things, Wayne swam to the bottom of the river, picked up the corpses of a dozen water ghosts, sold them to Vivian, exchanged them for seven or eight Orens, and deposited them into his account.
Then he used the night vision ability of the cat's eye potion to search for the remains of Professor Moru's laboratory in the dark river water.
Compared with the underwater environment full of weeds and rocks, the huge stone pillars of the ruins gate are still quite conspicuous. After searching for about ten minutes, he found the almost destroyed ruins gate on a river bed near the river bank. .
After walking about a few dozen meters in the direction of the gate and killing a few more water ghosts lurking in dark corners, Wayne finally saw the portal that was still shining with magical light.
However, although it was confirmed in the game and in Professor Moru's notes that it was this portal, Wayne still adhered to the idea of safety first and carefully checked several times outside the portal, and also passed his own With his ancient blood ability, he carefully entered the portal after confirming that the portal would not send him too far away.
Along with that uncomfortable teleportation technique, he was quickly teleported to a dark underground ruins.
What you see at first sight are high ceilings, spacious underground spaces, and some statues carved on the walls and buildings.
The turbid air and some rotten smell made Wayne's sensitive sense of smell quite uncomfortable.
But what made him even more curious was how much money the professor had invested in building such a huge underground laboratory. It seemed that this was not a small amount of money.
It is indeed a bit of a waste for such a private and spacious space to be left here.
It just so happens that after he cleans up the monsters and traps here, it would be a good choice to arrange another portal and use it as a secret base for the demon hunters.
He also thought about the person responsible for guarding this place and asked Gaitan to be in charge.
This guy is from the Cat School. Taking him to the north will easily affect the reputation of the demon hunters. It just so happens that he is placed here as the person in charge of this stronghold and responsible for protecting this ruins.
Because of the help of Professor Moru's notes, it was not difficult for Wayne to explore the ruins of this laboratory. Whether it was the ground spike trap at the beginning or the gargoyle puppet and cheetah puppet at the back, for him, he could only A small obstacle will not have any impact on him.
With the help of the magic flying carpet, he can even fly directly over these obstacles and enter Professor Moru's real experimental site without triggering these traps.
However, for the safety of those who entered the place later, Wayne still spent half a day to eliminate all these traps and monsters.
By the way, he also called Vivian out. With the help of this wealth elf, he sold all the worthless and useless junk in the entire ruins to her trophy acquisition center and exchanged it for about five dollars. A hundred or so gold coins.
Finally, after spending seven or eight hours, Wayne cleaned up the entire laboratory ruins and found the experimental equipment left by Professor Moru, his experimental notes, and the telescope that was close to a video device.
As for the giant centipede monsters raised in the cave by Professor Moru, because they themselves were important materials for the demon hunter to undergo secondary mutations, Wayne did not kill them or disturb them, but allowed them to continue living in the cave. Breed in that cave.
In the next two or three days, Wayne left the laboratory ruins once, returned to Beauclair City to prepare some supplies, met with Leisuo and others who had found another master-level equipment blueprint, and transferred the store and new equipment. The location of the residence was told to them, and Xianna, who worked hard for him, told them not to have any fancy thoughts.
For the next time, Wayne stayed in the laboratory, studying the experimental notes left by Professor Molu, and by the way, he made a copy of all these notes.
Unfortunately, as a demon hunter, Wayne's strength may have reached its peak, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the strongest demon hunter.
But as a warlock and a spellcaster, Wayne was lacking in spellcasting skills, magical knowledge, and research experience. In this regard, he could only be called an apprentice.
A talented researcher like Professor Molu, who had his own unique insights in research and even created a new path, Wayne could only look at his research notes stumblingly, barely understand the meaning, and could not even judge. The content inside is right or wrong.
Whenever this happens, Wayne always longs for a warlock who truly belongs to the wolf sect of demon hunters to come out and help him.
Although Triss is his lover, the two have a very close relationship, Keira is barely his lover and can provide him with a lot of help, and the elf warlock Francesca is his partner, and the two parties can also trade many things. . However, putting aside the question of whether they can be trusted, these three sorceresses all have their own careers, and they are all on the rise. It is impossible for them to abandon their own affairs and spend a huge amount of time to help the witcher.
As for cultivating a warlock, not to mention that Wayne does not have such ability, nor does he have such resources. He cannot even find talents with this talent. Even if he has the ability, he does not have so much time to slowly cultivate it.
The training of a warlock usually takes ten years. Being able to become an independent warlock within thirty or forty years is considered a genius warlock.
It's not that Wayne hasn't thought about this problem, it's just that there is no suitable solution, so it has been delayed.
Now, the only way he can think of, in addition to recruiting spellcasters and researchers from other worlds to help the witchers with their research, is to take the risk of choosing a male warlock from the north to help the witchers. .
What needs to be considered in the former is the difference in the magic systems of the two worlds and the issue of acclimatization.
The latter is how to find a candidate with good character, trustworthy and capable.
You know, for the warlock group, they do not want the demon hunters to rise.
You'd be lucky if you didn't cause trouble, and it would be difficult to get help from the Warlock Brotherhood.
There is no way, this problem can only be shelved for the time being. After Wayne returns to the north, he will return to Kaer Morhen and discuss with Vesemir, the most experienced person in the Wolf School. Before the mutated system, you couldn't directly experiment with your own body like Geralt did.
The famous White Wolf is the protagonist. He is favored by fate. Of course, he can succeed in one go. Not only will his strength be greatly increased, but there will be no side effects. As for the others, that may not be the case.
What Wayne hopes is to spread the second mutation to all demon hunters, and even use the power of the second mutation to repair the defects caused by the first mutation in various university sects.
This is not a simple project. It is just an idea at the moment. It is very difficult to realize it. Fortunately, the time is not urgent now and there is still a lot of time to prepare. When Wayne is strong enough, there will definitely be someone willing to do it. He serves.
After staying in the laboratory ruins for another two days, Wayne, who made no progress, chose to put it aside for the time being and wait to find a solution when he returned to the north.
If that doesn't work, he can only rely on his beauty to bribe Triss. After all, among the many warlocks Wayne knows, she is the only one who has enough ability and is the most trustworthy.
It's a pity that this is not the period of the Civil War, and the Warlock Brotherhood has not been destroyed. Otherwise, this matter would be much easier to handle.
Even during the witch hunting period, the sorceresses would cry and shout to pray for the protection of the witch hunters.
After leaving the laboratory ruins, Wayne found that he was temporarily without help and needed to take care of urgent matters.
While Sianna, the sales girl, was helping him look after the shop and selling pipe grass, Wayne started a crazy Gwent competition throughout Beauclair and even the entire Kingdom of Toussaint.
The odds were still double, and he did not show too much overwhelming strength. He held public duels in different places every two days, attracting a large number of Gwent players to come and play with him.
Such a somewhat flamboyant move even spread the reputation of his tobacco merchant Joel to the court of Beauclair and even to many wine estates around Beauclair.
Many people know that a tobacco merchant came from the Kingdom of Zerikan. The pipe grass he sells has a rich taste and is a high-end luxury product. At the same time, this merchant is also a super player of Gwent. He is handsome and rich. Now He has become a popular figure in Beauclair City. Many prominent people know him and like to play Gwent with him.
Affected by this trend, even the business of Wayne's tobacco shop has become more prosperous. Coupled with the huge profits of pipe grass, as well as Sianna's elegant temperament and increasingly mature sales techniques, the entire store's Business can almost be said to be making money every day.
This was a hardship for Gaitan of the Cat School. Because of the booming business and the fact that there were only two of him and Xianna in the store, he soon changed from a bodyguard to a porter and waiter. Under Xianna's command, Busy as a dog.
After Wayne discovered their predicament, he also gave Xianna the authority to recruit several employees, and he finally raised his Gwent level to level ten after playing thousands of consecutive Gwent duels. .
Gwent LV10: Luck +10.
Lucky Curse: Because you have been favored by luck for a long time, you find that you have awakened some magical ability. You seem to have the power to control luck. You can roughly see other people's fortunes, and you can steal other people's luck for your own use. While increasing your own luck, it also makes the other party unlucky. Effect: Steal someone's luck value for your own use. The stealing effect is 1-20. The effect is affected by your own luck. It lasts for seven days and has a cooling time of half a month.
Lucky Blessing: Because you have been favored by luck for a long time, you find that you have awakened some magical ability. You seem to have the power to control luck and can roughly see the fortune of others. At the same time, you can also bestow your luck on someone. , in a period of time, change that person's fortune and make him very lucky, but during that period of time, you will also lose the favor of luck and no longer have good luck. Effect: Grant all your luck to someone, your luck will return to zero, and the other person will become luckier. Lasts for one day, cooldown: three days.
After seeing that Gwent provided two skill feats, Wayne fell into thinking.
Of these two skills, one is to benefit oneself at the expense of others, to steal other people's luck for one's own use, and can even be used against enemies.
The other one is self-sacrifice, sacrificing himself to make others lucky, which can be used to help relatives and friends change their destiny.
How should he choose?
