Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 152 Excalibur and Parting Ways

Back in Vigimar.

Although the king's reward has not yet been paid, Wayne has already taken three thousand orens from his own treasury.

Five hundred orens were given to each of his fellow Witchers, including Vesemir and Geralt, as a reward for this commission.

Apart from the old Witcher Vesemir resolutely refusing to accept it, the other Witcher brothers didn't stand on ceremony with Wayne and accepted this huge sum of money with a joking tone, as if they were taking advantage of a rich man.

Wayne, however, did not tolerate Vesemir's behavior. He not only forced the old man to accept the five hundred orens, but also, under the pretext of repairing Kaer Morhen Castle, forced him to accept another thousand orens.

He currently has two Master-level treasure chests and dozens of Common-level treasure chests in his system inventory. If he were to open these chests, he would gain at least several thousand Orens. Even without the reward from the King, he wouldn't lose much money.

In short, Mr. Wayne is not short of money.

The witchers who came specifically to help Wayne are all true friends and family, so there's no need for excessive formalities.

The day after returning to Vizima, Wayne personally cooked a delicious meal that left everyone wanting more. His demon hunter brothers then gradually left Vizima, parting ways to go to their respective destinations to carry out this year's missions.

Only Belial and Geralt, who was waiting for Yennefer, remained.

As for the sorceresses, Kayla and Yennefer both needed a period of rest due to excessive mana depletion.

Poor Triss was in an even worse situation. Due to the mental impact of the evil god, her body suffered a magical backlash, resulting in significant injuries. Furthermore, because of her sensitive constitution to magic, she was unable to recover by taking potions.

Left with no other option, she had to temporarily take leave from King Foltest and suspend her work as a royal advisor.

While Wayne was treating Mutter, the red-haired beauty was quite depressed, considering that Mutter had been seriously injured while helping him with his mission.

Feeling a little guilty, Wayne decided to stay at Triss's house for a while, cooking delicious meals for her every day, saying sweet words, and taking meticulous care of her, warming the sorceress's wounded heart with his own body.

To repay the sorceresses for their help, Wayne even took out the magical manuscripts he had found in the Velen Elven underground ruins and shared the knowledge within them, excluding the witcher's equipment, with the three sorceresses.

This private notebook from a magician over a hundred years ago immediately earned the praise of the three sorceresses, who bluntly stated that this was very expensive magical knowledge that would be of great help to them and would be enough to repay their assistance.

Triss finally found something to do to pass the time while she was recovering from her injury.

This also allowed Wayne to breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't like owing favors to others; repaying kindness and avenging wrongs was his way of doing things.

In the following March, Wayne did not receive any more difficult missions. He brought Lambert and Eskel back, but donated the several hundred kilograms of dried salted fish that he did not take with him to the Temple of Merrittli, where they were given to the poor and orphans who needed food.

Aside from completing his daily tasks and waiting for the lucky day in March, he spends most of his time familiarizing himself with the Excalibur given to him by the goddess Lilith.

This is a two-handed greatsword, about 1.3 meters long including the blade and hilt, weighing approximately 20 kilograms. It is entirely silver-white with a gold patterned guard. The hilt and scabbard are both forged from a strange blue metal.

According to the information Lilith gave him, Excalibur, while not exactly a sword that can cut through iron like mud, is still sharper than an ordinary sword and incredibly sturdy, making it difficult for any weapon to damage it.

Moreover, this weapon possesses a powerful ability: whenever its wielder uses it to slay an evil monster, the sword gains a slight enhancement, becoming even more powerful, while also storing a trace of divine magic.

Once it has killed a certain number of monsters, it can unleash a powerful holy magic attack, wielding a huge blade of light several meters or even tens of meters long, which will deal a devastating blow to the enemy.

If it stores enough power, even a mighty dragon could be cut in two by Excalibur.

Furthermore, this Excalibur comes with a powerful magical item: its scabbard.

This magnificent scabbard, crafted entirely from blue and gold metal, also has its own name: Avalon.

Having been imbued with the divine magic within the Sword of Excalibur for a long time, this scabbard, named Avalon, can cast a powerful magical shield that protects its owner from any attack for a period of time.

Of course, this absolute protective shield can only last for about a minute, and it takes almost a month to recover after each use.

As for the description of being immune to all harm, that's an exaggeration. Every magical shield has its limits and cannot protect against all attacks; it's just that Avalon's defensive capacity is high enough.

Without a doubt, Excalibur, with its scabbard Avalon, is a precious sword given to him by the goddess of the lake. It can not only exert great strength in daily battles, but also play a decisive role and save lives in critical moments.

It is definitely a rare divine weapon in the world of Witcher. No wonder he tried so hard to please this goddess, and even sold his beauty and offered his body in the end.

Thinking of the wonderful sensations of the goddess Lilith, Wayne felt a surge of desire. He decided that whenever he had time, he would go to the goddess every month to learn and exchange new positions. This was not because Lord Wayne was lustful, absolutely not.

His main purpose was to enhance his newly acquired skills and receive divine blessings.

This skill is incredibly powerful. The abnormal status resistance corresponds to his physical body, while the mental and soul resistances correspond to his spirit and soul.

As long as the skill level of this Divine Blessing is high enough, it can be used for mental attacks, soul curses, or even frost, lightning, fire, slashing, piercing, and bleeding.

Regardless of the type of attack, the damage inflicted on him will be greatly reduced, eventually reaching a point where he is immortal and indestructible, making him arguably the strongest defensive passive skill.

As for the skill effect, Wayne interpreted the bonus Charisma attribute as representing the instinctive worship, love, reverence, or fear that living beings have for deities.

Charisma is an extremely powerful attribute. Whether interacting with people, animals, monsters, magical elements, or the laws of nature, being able to gain the favor of others is a powerful advantage.

Although he hasn't figured out the specific function of the Charisma attribute yet, its appearance in the Divine Blessing skill is clearly significant.

Time flies, and it's already late March.

That morning, Wayne gently pulled Triss, who was lying on him and sleeping soundly, to one side.

He habitually reached for the silver 36-sided die on the bedside table, tossed it casually, and surprisingly rolled 36.

Wayne was overjoyed and tossed the toss five more times, each time scoring over thirty points. This performance made him realize that his lucky day in March had arrived.

For him, Lucky Day, also known as Unboxing Day, is almost the most important time of the month.

This lucky day is especially important compared to other months.

Because master-level missions are extremely rare, there are two master-level treasure chests in his system waiting for him to try his luck.

Wayne put on his clothes, turned around and patted Triss's flawless white bottom, then whispered in her ear:

"Dear Triss, I have to go home today, so don't wait up for me for lunch."

Upon hearing this, Triss woke up from her sleep, subconsciously reaching out to touch Wayne a few times before giggling, opening her eyes, and looking at Wayne with seductive eyes, saying:

"Aren't you going for your morning exercise today?"

Feeling Triss's slightly cold fingers, Wayne instinctively shivered. He glanced at the rising sun outside the window, sighed inwardly, muttered "little imp," then took off his clothes again and said to the sorceress:

"Alright, dear Triss, since you're not afraid."

"What's the big deal if I leave a little later?"

Hours later, when Wayne left Triss's mansion and returned home, he still vividly remembered Yennefer's amused smile as he left.

Unfortunately, Yennefer is Geralt's goddess, and he can't possibly lay a hand on her.

With this thought in mind, Wayne closed his door, and as usual, took a bath, changed his clothes, burned incense, set up a simple altar, sat cross-legged on the ground, prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and then entered meditation mode.

Treasure chest open!
