Chapter 48
The story of Hekena's Talisman Kainster is not complicated, but the process is embarrassing.
Three years ago, the leader of the Wild Dog Gang was a hunter in the forest. He was targeted by a pack of wolves while hunting and almost died in the wolf's kiss.
But he was lucky enough to meet Kainster who was out on a mission. The kind old druid used animal taming skills to disperse the wolves and saved his life.
Unexpectedly, this guy had a vicious mind, and in the name of pretending to repay his kindness, he invited Keinster to his house for a dinner.
As a result, when he was halfway through drinking, this guy sneaked up on him and knocked Keinster unconscious.
It’s almost like a medieval version of the farmer and the snake.
Then, this guy found a shackle mixed with magic-blocking gold from nowhere, imprisoned Keynster directly, and asked him about the method of taming animals. This imprisonment lasted for three years.
Hearing this, Wayne also felt a little emotional. According to Kainster's description, he was an elder-level high-level druid from another Druid ring. He accepted a mission and came to a forest near Vizima. Build a new Druid Circle.
As a result, such a high-level spellcaster became no different from an ordinary old man after being shackled by the magic-blocking gold, and was imprisoned by a low-life hunter for three years.
You know, as long as high-level spellcasters like them are given enough time and find a magic node to provide them with magic power, these people can cast natural disaster-level magic and destroy a city.
It can only be said that in this world, everything is interdependent and nothing is invincible. As long as a way is found, even high-level spellcasters will be killed like ordinary people.
After understanding the general situation, Wayne temporarily placed Keynster on the second floor, found some changes of clothes and food for him, and then handed the box containing two magic items to him.
Originally, he was prepared to lose these two unknown magic items and gain the friendship of the old druid, but he didn't expect that the old man was quite smart.
He grabbed the dead wood staff in his hand, then chanted a spell while driving the green magic power. After casting a spell on the strange ornament that looked like an eagle's eyeball, he handed it to Wayne and said: "
Wayne , thank you for rescuing me from the predicament." "
I heard that witchers abide by neutrality and rarely do unpaid tasks. Now I have nothing on my body that can repay you." "
This necklace is for me. A magic talisman made from the claws of Hekna and the eyeballs of the fish monster. I want to give it to you as a gift." "
As long as you wear it, the animals around you will be closer to you and will not actively attack you. It can also give you the ability to breathe underwater and speed up your swimming." "
Although it's just an accessory of little use, I hope it can help you in the future."
Wayne reached out to take it without being polite . With that Hekena talisman, he immediately felt a special magic enveloping his body.
He nodded to the old Druid and said,
"Thank you, Elder Kainster, you can rest here for the time being. I will go back to the city to call a carriage and take you to where I live to recuperate for a few days. "
What's the matter? Let's make plans after you recover from your injuries."
The old man nodded with a smile and did not refuse Wayne's help. Although he had suffered a big loss in trusting strangers, he could still Maintaining a peaceful and friendly attitude, he is obviously a druid with a very firm belief.
Half an hour later, Wayne rode his horse Lucifer and brought two rented carriages back to the farm.
Along with him came Old York, the tavern owner, and several of his workers.
As soon as he entered the farm, he was greeted by a scene of corpses strewn across the field. Old York couldn't help but shudder and cursed loudly: "
Shit, Goddess Melitea, Wayne, what on earth did you kill?" How many people? Have you killed all the bastards from the Wild Dog Gang?"
"This place is like a slaughterhouse. I have never seen such a bloody scene since I left the battlefield."
Wayne shrugged. In his mind, there is actually no difference between villains and monsters. They are all necessary. The existence of annihilation. He has no empathy for those scum, nor does he feel any guilt for killing those guys.
"That's about right, Old York. Anyway, I'll kill everyone who stands in front of me, and I won't bother to chase the ones that escaped."
Wayne said, pointing to the two horses in the stable, and said:
"If you can Replace the two horses with Oren for me, and you can do whatever you want with the other things on this farm." "
However, you'd better bring people to burn all the corpses on the ground, lest they attract corpse-eating monsters in the future. , endangering the safety of the surrounding residents."
Old York spat on the ground with some displeasure, and said arrogantly: "
Okay, okay, little bastard, I'll wipe your butt for you." "
If it weren't for the sake of it, You helped us get rid of a scourge, and I really don’t want to get involved in this nonsense.”
Wayne didn’t care about Old York’s foul language. This old guy has lived in Vizima City for decades. Although he is not a powerful figure, he To be able to open a tavern for decades in a slum where dragons and snakes are mixed, he is at least a local snake-level person.
The most important thing is that this guy has a good heart and is a loyal believer of the goddess Melitea. According to Wayne's vague memory, not only Melissa and his mother, but also many poor people near the tavern have been affected by the old man. With York's help, this is a friend you can make friends with.
He looked at the old guy commanding several young workers with an unhappy look on his face and started digging holes to cut firewood outside the farm in preparation for burning the body. He couldn't help laughing and said: "By the way, Old York,
you Don't forget, I have completed your commission and helped you get rid of the Wild Dog Gang. From now on, I can drink the wine in your shop as I please." When the
old Yorker heard this, his expression became even more unhappy. He snorted and said:
"Okay, little bastard, I'm not a person who doesn't keep his word. With your drinking capacity, how can you still drink me out of poverty?"
After receiving this answer, Wayne nodded with satisfaction. He didn't care about the drink money. Completing system tasks is the most important thing to him.
Sure enough, as soon as Old York finished speaking, the system's voice sounded in his ears.
Ding! The expert level mission [Eradicate the Wild Dog Gang] has been completed.
Gain: 45 experience points, expert level treasure chest*1.
Wayne was overjoyed when he heard that the system had awarded up to 45 experience points. Such a large amount of experience points was almost ten times that of ordinary level tasks.
It seems that the system also encourages him to complete more difficult tasks. No matter how many ordinary tasks he completes, the experience gained is quite limited.
He can only complete one task per day, which limits his possibility of gaining experience.
After looking at the sky and realizing that it was getting late, Wayne turned to Old York and said,
"Old York, I have something else to do and I have to go back to the city first."
"There is a big wild boar next to the farmhouse. I have already removed it." It's been taken care of. Remember to bring it back when you go back." "
I'll just keep some pork thighs and pork ribs. You can take the rest back and sell them." "
Don't worry about the money from selling the horse. It will come in a few days. I will come to you."
After a few brief exchanges with Old York, Wayne returned to Vizima City with Old Druid Kainster.
It was already getting late. After killing the Wild Dog Gang, he was still planning to do some more things before meeting up with Geralt.
