Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 117 Reunion with Geralt

The rest of the journey went smoothly. They didn't encounter any monsters on the way back to the valley. Wayne, with a dozen or so porters, successfully arrived at the valley where the green dragon was.

By the time he met up with George, the corpses in the valley, including the monsters such as dragons and giants, had already been mostly dismembered by George.

The dragon skin, tendons, claws, teeth, and the most precious organ inside the dragon's body—the fire-breathing sac—were all removed.

In comparison, the giant's body is of little value; the only thing that can be considered precious is the giant's eyeball.

Unfortunately, one of them had already been destroyed by Wayne, but the mutation inducer taken from his body was actually more valuable.

Even so, the materials extracted from these monsters weighed several hundred kilograms, all of which were excellent materials for making weapons, equipment, and potions. When distributed among the porters, each of them had to carry dozens of kilograms.

The porters dared not complain about this.

Because all of these guys, including the village chief Jeff, were terrified by the two enormous corpses in front of them. Having never been in close contact with them, they could hardly imagine what kind of monster the green dragon they had faced was.

Its nearly ten-meter-long body, weight of over ten tons, sharp claws, pointed teeth, and terrifying fire-breathing ability nearly made the villagers, who had only heard of evil dragons in legends, wet their pants in fear.

At the same time, they also developed a greater fear of Wayne, the disguised noble young master, realizing that he was someone they could not afford to offend and that he could probably wipe out everyone in their village with just one person and one sword.

It was precisely because of their fear of Wayne's strength and status that these unruly citizens of Velen showed unusual deference and obedience, and did not cause any trouble along the way.

For these troublemakers, fists are definitely more convincing than kind words.

By the time Wayne finished dealing with the mess in Velen and returned to Vizima, it was already five days later.

The unruly villagers of Lower Valen were quite sensible. After he gave them a good beating, when he went there again to demand the elven manuscripts, there was no more of that embarrassing scene of them pestering him.

The manuscripts that were suspected to be lost were also returned. Although it was unknown whether they had been copied, the village chief Jeff, like the legendary honest man, led some villagers to express their gratitude to Wayne and George, loudly praising their merits. They even declared that they would erect a statue for them in the village to commemorate their achievement in helping Warren Village get rid of the evil dragon.

Although Wayne scoffed inwardly, he didn't object outwardly. He simply took his things calmly and turned to leave.

After the two returned to Vizima, George only stayed at his house for two days, copied part of the manuscript, especially the part about the Griffin School's equipment, before taking his leave.

This witcher from the Griffin School is a truly good person driven by the kindness and principles in his heart.

Unlike Wayne, he wouldn't crave a stable and comfortable life. Instead, he would rather risk his life to go to remote and impoverished areas to carry out dangerous missions without expecting anything in return.

Just like this dragon-hunting mission, from beginning to end, he only received the promised 1,000 orens from Wayne as payment. As for the other spoils, apart from the elven manuscripts that Wayne was promised to allow him to copy at will, he didn't want anything else.

On the contrary, Wayne not only learned a lot of knowledge and experience, combat skills and historical secrets from this Griffin School witcher master, but also completed a master-level quest and several professional-level quests from him through the quest system, gaining a considerable amount of experience and treasure chest rewards.

Of course, most importantly, he gained the friendship of this Griffin School master, so that if he needed anything in the future, he could contact the master through letters or other means to seek his help.

Unfortunately, when he opened the treasure chests he had accumulated on his lucky day in July, luck did not smile on him. Neither the Master Chest nor the several Expert Chests yielded anything of value.

The former only had a little over a thousand gold coins, while the latter only obtained one consumable piece of equipment.

Explosive Arrows*20: A special weapon from Amazonian warriors. These specially made arrows explode upon hitting an enemy, causing severe implosion damage and destroying the enemy's body.

However, although he didn't get anything good, the experience from the quest successfully raised his Witcher level to level seven.

Wayne (16 years old)

Occupation: Witcher

Level: 7 (223/700)

Ability value: 7 points

Attributes: Strength 27, Agility 32, Constitution 29, Spirit 32.

Skills: Swordsmanship LV5, Signs LV8, Genetic Mutation LV5, Gwent LV5.

Special Bloodline: Ancient Blood (weak, unawakened) requires 10 ability points to activate.

Additional skills: Archery LV2, Cooking LV6, Planting LV3, Alchemy LV4, Riding LV3, Forging LV4, Alchemy 4.

After saying goodbye to Master George, Wayne's life in Vizima was quite peaceful for the next few months. There were no dramatic master-level quests, and no one bothered him.

He usually uses camouflage glasses to disguise himself as a human. Apart from those who are with him, everyone thinks he is just a powerful mercenary and a wealthy young master, rather than a rare demon hunter.

In the past few months, aside from completing his usual routine quests and visiting the sorceress's home, Wayne has spent almost all his time improving his secondary skills.

He successfully raised his skills in alchemy, alchemy, and forging to level five. However, instead of using his ability points to unlock the skill specializations of these three skills, he chose to save his ability points and wait until he had ten points before unsealing his ancient bloodline.

This money-burning behavior not only increased the amount of inventory in his warehouse, but also meant that all the money rewards he received from tasks were spent on this.

By the time all these skills were upgraded to level five, he would only have about eight thousand Orens left.

The materials brought back from Velen have been almost entirely used up.

Under Master O. Henry's guidance, the rare dragon hides, dragon teeth, dragon claws, and dragon bones were used to create many very practical finished pieces of equipment, which were then stored in his warehouse.

As for the elven manuscript and the green dragon's fire-breathing sac, he did not trade these two precious items to his acquaintances Keira and Triss. Instead, he secretly kept them, studying and copying them while waiting for the right opportunity to exchange them for a more suitable reward.

For example, when he wants to clear out the underwater city beneath Lake Vijima, he can use these rare materials to exchange for the help of the sorceresses.

Unfortunately, magical nodes in the real world are not as common as in the game. At least, no such places have been found near Vizima City, so his ability to absorb power points has no use.

To unlock the special abilities of the Ancient Blood, or the skill feats of its secondary skills, there is currently no other way besides patiently waiting for the ability points granted upon leveling up.

Time flies, and October has arrived in no time. Temperatures across the north have begun to drop rapidly, ushering in a long winter.

As the northern regions have cold climates, it won't be long before most countries begin to experience snowfall, rivers freeze over, flowers and plants wither, and all things in the world enter a dormant phase.

And this is also the time when all the Wolf Clan Witchers begin to return home.

Sure enough, Wayne didn't have to wait long before Geralt, carrying a longsword, wearing a cotton-padded coat, and leading his mount Carrot, appeared at his doorstep looking quite well.
