Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 145 The Wolf School Gathers in Vizima

March arrived quickly, the time Wayne and the other members of the Wolf School had agreed upon.

While learning magic from Triss, he successfully acquired two new secondary skills: spells and magical knowledge.

Spell LV1: Spell power +2%

Magic Knowledge LV1: Magic comprehension speed +1, magic casting speed +1.

Both of these spell skills are very useful, but unfortunately they are not the primary skills of a Witcher and have been assigned to the secondary skills category.

While waiting for his companions for a month, Wayne successfully leveled up to level eight by completing daily fish-frying tasks.

Wayne (18 years old)

Occupation: Witcher

Level: 8 (53/800)

Ability value: 1 points

Attributes: Strength 28, Agility 33, Constitution 30, Spirit 33.

Unique Skills: Swordsmanship LV6, Signs LV8, Genetic Mutation LV6, Gwent LV6.

Special Bloodline: Ancient Blood (Basic Unsealing), Advanced Unsealing requires 30 Ability Points.

Bloodline Power: Blink, Source Mage, Time Traveler.

Additional skills: Archery LV4, Cooking LV6, Planting LV3, Alchemy LV5, Riding LV4, Forging LV5, Alchemy 5, Beast Taming LV1, Spells LV1, Magical Knowledge LV1.

During this period, not only have the Witcher's exclusive skills of swordsmanship, signs, and Gwent been upgraded by one level, but some of the secondary skills have also been improved to some extent.

However, because they did not reach the threshold of level five, they did not receive a qualitative improvement.

After the initial unsealing of the Ancient Blood, the ability points required for the advanced unsealing reach thirty points. If one only relies on leveling up to obtain it, it would probably take more than ten years.

This further fueled Wayne's desire to find more magical nodes.

Even if those magical nodes become spatial rifts because of his absorption, they can be reported to the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, as they have done this time, or he can invite a sorceress to seal them.

Although it's only a temporary solution, everything comes at a price, and you always have to pay a price if you want to improve your strength.

Through testing the spatial rift sealed by Triss in the Leshen's lair, Wayne discovered that even if the spatial rift was sealed by magic, it would not affect his ability to travel through time and space.

However, if he wants to use his ability points to expand the spatial rift into a spatial passage, he will break the seal and even cause the rift to expand further.

Now that he and Triss are getting closer, when their relationship reaches a point where they can truly trust each other, Wayne might tell her about his ancient bloodline and obtain information from her about the other spatial rifts sealed by the Brotherhood of Warlocks.

Each spatial rift represents a new world, and each new world represents infinite possibilities.

Thinking about this, Wayne was filled with anticipation for his colorful future life.

That morning, Wayne had just returned from Master O. Henry's blacksmith shop. As he opened the door, he saw Geralt sitting on a stone stool in the gazebo in the front yard, leisurely drinking beer while his eyes were fixed on Alex, who was bathing the horses, seemingly admiring the boy's work.

He was dressed in black armor, with the weapons still on his back, and his face and body were covered in dust from his journey, clearly indicating that he had just arrived.

Upon seeing Wayne, Geralt simply waved and gave a perfunctory greeting, saying nothing, and continued drinking his beer.

Among the Wolf Witchers, besides Vesemir, who is his teacher, he has the closest relationship with Wayne and spends the most time together; they have already passed the stage where they need to be polite to each other.

Wayne nodded to him, walked to the gazebo, picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass, and was about to say something when he was surprised to see Yennefer come out of his backyard, seemingly having been observing Wayne's house.

The female sorceress wore a black and white leather jacket and tight black leather pants. Her legs were long and slender, and her upper body was full. Her round breasts pushed the leather jacket high, and she looked to be two sizes larger than Miss Mengte, which was very eye-catching.

Her expression was cold and aloof, exuding an air of haughty sophistication. Upon seeing Wayne, her cold expression softened slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face as she asked:

"Wayne, when are you planning to start your operation? I will also participate in this battle."

"I will always remember the help that Lady of the Lake gave me."

He had a rough idea that Yennefer would likely participate in this operation, but he was still somewhat surprised when he actually saw her.

Among the many sorceresses, Yennefer is quite unique. She is neither obsessed with power nor with luxurious enjoyment. She is particularly obsessive about love and is the kind of ruthless person who would not hesitate to destroy the world for the sake of her lover.

Wayne nodded to her, then looked at Geralt, took out the royal commission he had taken from Triss from his pocket, and after thinking for a moment, considering Geralt's status in front of the sorceress, simply handed it to Yennefer for her to see.

Yennefer took over without any hesitation, not even glancing at Geralt, which made Geralt's lips curl into an awkward smile.

After reading the contents of the Royal Commission, Yennefer raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at Wayne with some surprise, and asked:

"Are you close to Triss, Wayne? She's a good friend of mine; we've known each other for many years."

"I've heard of this young woman, Kayla. I've heard she has a great talent for protective magic, and even Headmistress Margarita has praised her."

Of course we know each other very well; I know every part of her body very well.

He thought this to himself, but Wayne certainly wouldn't say it out loud. Yennefer was actually more than ten years older than Geralt, almost ninety years old, so calling Kayla a young man wouldn't be a problem.

"I've known her for almost a year now, and we're pretty good friends."

Upon hearing Wayne's answer, Yennefer scoffed, looking at the handsome young witcher before her, clearly not believing him.

However, she didn't delve into it further, but instead turned to Geralt and said:

"Then I'll stay at Triss's house for a while. You and Wayne can stay here together. I'll come find you if anything happens."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to Wayne and left Wayne's house without looking back.

After Yennefer left, Geralt visibly relaxed, downed a large glass of beer, and gave Wayne a smile that seemed to indicate he had regained his freedom.

"Hey Wayne, go get some snacks to go with your drinks."

"It took Ye and me almost ten days to ride from Redania to get here. The food along the way was really indescribable."

"I want to eat your delicious cooking right now."

Wayne raised an eyebrow, not believing Geralt's words at all. Traveling with a wealthy sorceress like Yennefer, how could their treatment on the road be bad? Besides, it wouldn't even take ten days to get here from Redania. Obviously, they had been having a lot of fun and wasting a lot of time.

With Geralt and Yennefer's arrival, Lambert and Eskel also arrived in Vizima within the following week.

Wayne and Geralt treated their two somewhat impoverished brothers to a good meal. He even spent a large sum of money to take the three brothers to the legendary Night Queen's Club, where they enjoyed a lavish experience with high-class beauties, spending hundreds of orens to let them experience the luxurious life of the wealthy.

In the following days, George, who had received Wayne's letter, also rushed from Wellen to Vizima, where he officially met the members of the Wolf School and made an impression on each other.

Vesemir was the last to arrive. The old witcher hadn't traveled this far for a mission in a long time, but after arriving in Vizima and witnessing Wayne's somewhat extravagant lifestyle, he couldn't help but give him another lecture, which left him quite helpless.

However, as a Chinese man, Wayne has always held the tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young in his heart. He always listens to the old Witcher's teachings on the surface, but in secret he is still generous with money and leads his Witcher brothers to live a rich and extravagant life.

They were treated to fine wine and meat every day, and occasionally visited various brothels. The blacksmith even paid for them to come to O. Henry's blacksmith shop to repair all their equipment, which was a truly lavish hospitality.

Finally, by mid-March, all those involved in the operation to clear out the half-fish city had arrived, and their combat preparations were complete. They were just waiting for Wayne to set a specific date so that they could work together to eliminate this scourge that had taken root on the shores of Lake Vigema.

However, before that, as the most important beneficiary of this operation, Wayne still needs to have a formal meeting with Her Majesty the Lake before the operation begins.

While selfless dedication is admired by many, Wayne is not that kind of person. He believes that while one may not need to ask for anything in return for their efforts, one should at least let others know how much importance they place on the matter.

Don't let others take your efforts for granted. Otherwise, not only will you not receive the respect you deserve, making your efforts seem cheap, but you might also be looked down upon, becoming someone dispensable in their eyes, or a sycophant.

A simp who keeps fawning will end up with nothing.
