Chapter 16 Going down the mountain
was when Wayne was considering whether to absorb this ring of elements.
The Wolf School badge placed on the stone table has been charged with magic. It looks no different from the original one, but if you look closely, you will find that the surface of this badge has been covered with a layer of strange things that are vaguely visible to the naked eye. luster.
Geralt reached out and picked up the badge on the stone table and observed it for a while, then turned around and handed it to Wayne's hand. As if he was relieved, he walked off the altar and said: "Let's go, it's time to go back to the castle
. "We encountered a lot of things today, and there were also fights, so now we are all smelling of monsters." "
Let's catch some game on the way, you haven't finished your training today yet."
Wayne nodded, rather Looking back at the Ring of Elements with nostalgia, I sighed quietly in my heart.
He put the badge on his chest, followed Geralt in a few steps, and said,
"There should be some harvest in my fishing trap. Let's pick some mushrooms in the forest and see if we can catch them." There are a few rabbits or deer."
"However, there is not much wine in the warehouse. Spring is still more than a month away, so you can no longer drink without restraint like before."
…………
Winter Last spring came, and when Wayne was preparing to go down the mountain, time quickly came to the spring of 1250.
Kaer Morhen is located in the Blue Mountains northeast of the Northern Kingdom and belongs to the Kingdom of Kaedwen. Although the snow has not completely melted yet, the weather is still very cold.
But the witchers who have been living in the castle all winter must embark on the journey again and run for their own lives.
Eskel and Lambert have set out a few days in advance. They are planning to go to the free city of Novigrad in the north this year to see if they can find a commission.
Now there are only three people left in the castle: Vesemir, Wayne and Geralt.
Today, Wayne and Geralt are also preparing to leave Kaer Morhen and set off for the northern countries.
Although the old demon hunter Vesemir didn't say anything about Wayne's departure, he was like an old man watching his child leave for a long distance. Not only did he prepare a set of 90% new wolf sects for Wayne, The witcher was in armor, and a fine steel sword was prepared for him.
According to the old man, this was a steel sword he had replaced when he was young. It was mixed with a lot of precious metals and was a good weapon.
Now it's just a souvenir, so it's better to leave it to Wayne for use.
As for the silver sword and horses, these two items were too valuable. Even if Vesemir had some savings, he did not have the financial resources to prepare one for Wayne in advance. He had to work hard himself.
At the gate of the castle, Geralt was holding a gray mare named Carrot, looking at Wayne and Vesemir who were talking with interest.
The old demon hunter patted Wayne on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"My child, after going down the mountain, you must be careful and don't get involved in the conspiracy between nobles or countries." "
We demon hunters must uphold neutrality. The way is to not be biased towards any one force."
"I have confidence in your talent and strength, but you are still young. You have to remember that sometimes, people's hearts are more insidious than monsters, and evil people are more vicious than monsters." "Don't be so easy
. Trust outsiders and be careful of the knife coming from behind."
Listening to Vesemir's somewhat rambling instructions, Wayne couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. During the two years he spent with Vesemir in Kaer Morhen, he was able to realize that the old man truly cared about him and taught him without reservation. He was almost the closest person to him in the world.
Although there is no blood relationship between them, the old demon hunter is like a real elder, loving and protecting his younger generation.
He took a step forward, hugged Vesemir gently, and said sincerely:
"Don't worry, teacher, I will learn from Geralt and become an excellent witcher."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Wayne said, Vesemir said with a straight face:
"You just need to learn how to deal with various monsters. Bad habits such as gambling, whoring, and spending money indiscriminately will be harmful if you learn them." I'll kill you."
Hearing what the old demon hunter said, Wayne couldn't help laughing. He turned his head and glanced at Geralt, who had turned into a bitter melon face, and then echoed: "
I understand, teacher. "
It's getting late. We must leave early." "
Otherwise, we will have to spend the night in the forest tonight."
Vesemir patted Wayne on the shoulder with some reluctance and said goodbye:
"Okay. , you go, remember my words, don’t trust others easily.”
Wayne nodded seriously again, and then set off with Geralt under the watch of the old demon hunter.
The destination of this journey has not yet been determined. However, the purpose of the demon hunters is to accept the commission and earn gold coins. They will first visit some nearby villages to see if there are any monsters that need to be cleaned up and inquire about them by the way. Some war intelligence.
According to past experience, whenever there is a war and casualties occur, those corpses will attract a large number of monsters to follow them, posing danger to nearby humans.
If there was no war, they would go to the big cities in the north to look for opportunities, where there are more wealthy people, complex relationships, and it is easier to find jobs.
And this time when going down the mountain, as a freshly minted witcher, Wayne must save more money, buy himself a mount, and build a silver sword. This is a must-have equipment for a witcher. And they are not cheap, so it will take a long time to save.
Of course, this was Geralt's idea, but he didn't know that Wayne was much richer than he thought.
After two years of accumulation, Wayne's system still has one professional-level treasure box and more than 500 ordinary-level treasure boxes that are not used. Each treasure box contains some coins, and the total amount must be considerable.
However, Wayne knew that this money was obtained out of thin air after all. If Geralt had been by his side, it would be difficult to explain when he received this huge sum of money.
Therefore, he had to find an opportunity to drive away Geralt for a while and find an excuse for his gains.
However, these are things to think about after leaving Kaer Morhen.
Under the watch of the old witcher, Wayne followed Geralt, holding the mare loaded with luggage, and soon disappeared into the forest.
