Chapter 76 After saying goodbye and
returning to the shore, looking at the empty wooden boat, Wayne suddenly realized that he had forgotten one thing. Without the Fisher King to drive the boat for him, he would not even be able to leave Black Tern Island.
Just when he was at his wits' end and considering whether to return to the forest and ask the Fisher King for help, the old man had already walked out of the forest with steady steps.
The old man first looked at Wayne seriously for several times with somewhat unclear eyes, as if he was something rare, and then he drove the boat without saying a word and took Wayne away from the island in the middle of the lake.
When Wayne took a boat from Black Tern Island back to Swamp Village, and then rode back to Vizima City from Swamp Village, the sun was rising and the city gate opened, so that he would not wait like a fool. Outside the city.
Back home, Wayne couldn't wait to start boiling water and prepared to take a hot bath. After every battle, although the blood outside the armor was easier to deal with, the blood that seeped into the armor always made him feel... Feeling uncomfortable all over.
Not only was it wet, like countless tentacles crawling on his body, but it also had a disgusting smell that always lingered in his keen sense of smell.
But there is no other way. He is engaged in this kind of killing profession. No matter how uncomfortable he feels, it is still better than Geralt entering the sewer and dealing with those water ghosts covered in shit.
With the end of the Lady of the Lake incident, Wayne's life has gradually returned to the right track. In addition to completing some ordinary commissions he received sporadically, he helped Revarden and other logging bosses clean up the monsters that attacked them.
What he did most on weekdays was to go to Master O. Henry's blacksmith shop, learn various forging techniques, purchase various daily necessities for his home, and build other necessary daily facilities.
After nearly a month and a half, Wayne succeeded in burning money regardless of the cost and wasting a lot of materials. Not only did he learn the blacksmithing technique, but he also upgraded it to level two.
Blacksmithing LV2: Blacksmithing efficiency +2, quality improvement +2.
The little earth spirit Lala, who learned magic from the Lady of the Lake, also returned to her home a week later.
Then, together with her parents and brother, she came to Wayne's home from Shuijingkou, and made a special trip to deliver the reward for the last commission and sincere thanks.
Lala's father, Cruz, not only gave Wayne a small bag of carefully polished precious gems as a reward, but also gave Wayne a special magic item.
"Mr. Wayne, this is a magic wine flask that I found while exploring some ancient ruins. It is a gift I carefully selected for you." Cruz placed a flat shape that seemed to be made of silver, with engraved words on the bottle
. Wine bottles with various magical inscriptions were delivered to Wayne's hands, and he said in a sincere tone:
"You are a demon hunter who often carries out commissions in the wild. You will definitely like this gift very much." "
This magic wine The jug can hold four different drinks in total, and because of the special magic, each drink can hold as much as an entire wine barrel." "Not only that, as long as
those drinks enter the jug, they will not It is also affected by the outside temperature, that is to say, if you put hot water in it, even after a year, as long as you pour it out again, it will still be hot water." At
this point, Cruze touched it reluctantly . His own beard said with emotion:
"I don't know which magic master this magic item is."
"It contains not only space magic, but also time magic, and the magic inscription on it is not what we have today. Any kind of font."
"I have studied for a long time and checked many ancient books, but I still don't have any clue. Sometimes I even suspect that it is not something from this world." At this point, he once again expressed his gratitude
to Wei En nodded and said,
"However, you are my son's savior and the patron of the Lady of the Lake. I am willing to give this treasure to you."
Wayne picked up the wine flask and observed it carefully, and then couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was sure that this magic wine flask was not a product of the wizard's home world. It must have traveled from other worlds due to a certain celestial convergence. Magic items come from.
Because the style of this hip flask is a classic shape that was very popular in the 19th century on Earth.
The magic inscription carved on the wine pot is very similar to the legendary rune text.
However, based on these two points, Wayne was not sure which magical world this wine bottle came from. After some testing, Wayne discovered that this was indeed a very practical magic prop, although due to the size of the bottle mouth, too large items could not be stuffed into the wine flask.
But as long as liquids such as various hot water, fine wine, cold drinks or potions enter this flask, it will be as if time has stopped, and no other changes will occur until it is poured out.
It is simply the perfect tool for home travel.
Moreover, Wayne also discovered that after being treated by the Lady of the Lake, Lala's brother Fitz had indeed gotten rid of the influence of the evil god. He was a little earth spirit with a somewhat bad temper but an extremely tough character.
I don’t know if it’s a blessing in disguise, but after some modifications by the evil god, the little earth spirit Fitz is not only much stronger than his peers in terms of physical strength, but he also has fish gill-like tissue growing on his cheeks, and he has With the ability to live on land and water, the octopus tentacles on the chin no longer grow, but look like a strange decoration, which looks quite interesting.
Perhaps in the future, when Fitz grows up, this little guy will be able to defeat other enemies with his physical body and martial arts, even without relying on magical abilities.
Wayne also received news from Cruze that several other survivors rescued from the fishman's lair did not persist after they were sent to the swamp village.
After persisting for a few days, he finally left this world accompanied by his relatives.
Perhaps, rather than becoming a slave of an evil god, being able to die next to your loved ones is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
After living in Vizima City for nearly two months, Wayne gradually adapted to this medieval life.
Because of his appearance, except for the more conspicuous amber cat eyes, he looks like a handsome and strong elf boy. In addition, he does not have to deal with the pressure of life. In fact, his identity as a demon hunter does not have a big impact on him. Impact.
After all, in the city of Vizima, Wayne lives a very low-key life. He always circulates among a few acquaintances. Each request is basically an introduction from an acquaintance. The client will show considerable respect for his identity as a demon hunter. of respect.
Gradually, Geralt also let go of his worries about Wayne, and did not have to worry about what danger the young apprentice would encounter in the city.
And one night, Geralt, the white wolf, formally bid farewell to Wayne.
"Wayne, I've been in Vizima long enough." "
We've basically cleared up the commissions here, and you can live a pretty stable life." "
In a few days, I'm just going to leave here and go to a country farther west to see if there are any other jobs."
Wayne, who was having dinner with Geralt, raised his eyebrows. He was not too surprised by this. The two had already agreed, but it was only today that Geralt proposed it.
He thought about it for a few seconds, then nodded and suggested:
"Now that you have decided, I won't stop you." "
However, Geralt, it has been nearly a month since we moved to our new home, and we haven't held a wedding yet. Any celebration."
"The day after tomorrow, I am going to hold a dinner at my home and invite some of our friends to participate. It can also be used as your practice banquet. I hope you will not refuse." Geralt nodded after hearing this
. He responded in a hoarse voice:
"Okay, that's it. I happened to have saved some money, and I also need to prepare supplies for the trip before setting off."
