Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 141 The World Beyond the Rift

After testing the effects of the Source Warlock bloodline on his sign abilities, Wayne then tested the Blink ability triggered by the Ancient Blood.

However, the test results were neither good nor bad. Blinking is indeed a powerful ability, capable of ignoring obstacles and terrain, and instantly appearing in other places within sight.

However, because Wayne's awakened ancient bloodline was incomplete, he did not have a deep understanding of the two mysterious powers of space and time. He could only confirm the landing point when he flashed through his vague senses.

Once this distance exceeds thirty meters, not only will it take longer to calculate the landing point, but the physical strength and magic power consumed will also increase rapidly.

Therefore, the idea of ​​relying on this ability to create continuous flashing is very difficult to achieve.

However, blinking within a 30-meter range is not difficult for Wayne, and it consumes very little magic power. He can even appear directly dozens of meters in the air, launch an aerial attack, and then blink to another place before landing, achieving short-distance flight.

Combined with his powerful physical attributes as a Witcher, various instant-cast signs, and external weapons such as alchemical bombs and throwing knives, his combat strength will undergo a qualitative leap with diligent training, becoming even more ruthless, fierce, and unpredictable.

A human wave tactic of a few dozen people will no longer be able to surround him. Instead, he will easily deal with them by using a kite-flying tactic. Even when facing a large army, he can successfully escape their annihilation before being completely surrounded.

After testing the first two abilities granted to him by the Ancient Blood, Wayne's gaze involuntarily turned to the third: the ability to travel between worlds.

This is the most unique and powerful ability that the Ancient Blood can provide. The reason why Ciri, the future Lady of Destiny, is remembered and loved by so many people is largely due to this ability to travel through time and space and enter different worlds.

However, Wayne currently only possesses the ability to travel to the other world via spatial rifts.

With no knowledge of the world on the other side of the rift, this ability is more like a gamble.

After all, no one can say for sure what kind of world the other side will be, what kind of dangers it will hold, or even what kind of evil gods will reside there.

Perhaps the moment you cross over to the other world, you'll be captured by a powerful figure, locked up like a guinea pig, and die quietly and without a trace.

However, human curiosity is always incredibly strong, and even such danger could not stop Wayne's heart from exploring the unknown.

He hesitated for a few seconds, but couldn't resist coming to the spatial rift he had created.

Of course, Wayne did not rashly choose to travel directly to the other world. Instead, he learned from Triss and used his powerful magical perception as a source mage to sense the situation in the other world through the slight aura of another world seeping out from the spatial rift.

It's a feeling that can't be described in words, like holding a cotton candy under your nose and only being able to smell it to experience the taste inside.

Wayne carefully sensed it for nearly ten minutes. Through the otherworldly aura seeping in through the crack, he indeed perceived a sense of peace, tranquility, and natural beauty, completely devoid of the evil, terror, or eeriness he had imagined.

As Triss said, the world on the other side shouldn't be dangerous, at least not the area connected by this spatial rift.

He stood before the crack, pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the visible crack.

In just a moment, the otherworldly aura emanating from the other side became even stronger, and Wayne could even smell the rustic scent of a paradise on earth.

This made him even more certain that the world on the other side must be a safe world, an ancient world where magic could be used, uncorrupted by evil forces, and free from the various byproducts of modernity.

Although it was a bit risky, once he made the decision, he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately activated the power of the Ancient Blood, and his entire body transformed into a beam of light, instantly entering the spatial rift.

After entering the rift, Wayne felt his body float up, losing all sense of gravity, space, and direction. It was a feeling difficult to describe, as if he were floating in a void, surrounded by a bizarre and fantastical starry sky, while he himself was traversing this void at an unimaginable speed.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps only a moment, Wayne's body returned to the ground. He cautiously raised his head and looked around at his surroundings, while keeping his ears perked up, remaining highly alert so that he could escape through the spatial rift at the slightest sign of trouble.

However, he seemed to be lucky. After careful reconnaissance, Wayne discovered that he was located at what appeared to be the edge of a forest.

The time he was in was different from dusk in the Witcher world; it seemed to be early morning, with the sun just rising and the air still filled with the unique dampness and chill of the morning.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the scents of grass, earth, and trees, which drifted into Wayne's nostrils. He could hear the sounds of various flowers, birds, fish, and insects. The warm morning sun shone on his body, giving him an involuntary ticklish feeling, which was exceptionally pleasant.

What surprised Wayne even more was that, just a kilometer or two away in the distance, a cluster of oddly shaped and beautiful houses had gathered together to form a small, beautiful village. Surrounding the village were golden wheat fields, lush orchards, and various gardens, vegetable plots, and farmland.

Without a doubt, it was a settlement. Although it is uncertain whether it was a human settlement, the creatures living there must have been very hardworking and intelligent beings, and also peace-loving and life-loving intelligent beings.

Because Wayne had never heard of such a beautiful house and such beautiful wheat fields, orchards and gardens, built by an evil species that lived by plunder and killing.

After considering for a few seconds, Wayne decided to go and take a look, get to know the natives of this world, and learn what kind of world it was.

This decision might be a bit risky, but Wayne is confident in his abilities, and with the help of the Blink ability, he can at least escape no matter what happens.

He noted down the location of the spatial rift that led back to the Witcher world. This rift was still dormant and might be invisible to others, but it was exceptionally conspicuous to Wayne, who possessed the talent for space and time.

He could easily find the crack if he was within a hundred meters of it.

A dozen minutes later, Wayne left the forest, traveled a kilometer or two, and approached the beautiful village without any trouble.

It was just dawn, and the people in the desolate village had not yet gotten up to work, so there was no sign of anyone moving around.

Moreover, Wayne didn't notice at first because the distance was too far, but when the two sides were less than two hundred meters apart, he was surprised to see that those beautiful houses of various shapes were actually miniature simulated houses.

Based on the size of the doors, windows, and roof, their owners are estimated to be only about half the height of an average human. Could it be that the people living here are all dwarfs?

Just as Wayne was thinking this, the door of the nearest house with a red roof opened, and a short, half-human figure, probably less than a meter tall, walked out.

He was carrying a hoe, barefoot, and dressed like a farmer. He was quite surprised to see Wayne walking towards him from a distance, but he didn't panic. After observing him for a few seconds, he smiled and asked:

"You're human, right? How did you end up in a hobbit village?"

"Would you like to come over to my house? I just brewed a pot of fine tea that you've never tasted before."
