Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 208 Grandmaster-level Equipment Blueprints and the Arrival of the Serpent School Demon Hunters

The Beauclan at dusk is very beautiful, with the golden sunlight casting a veil over all the buildings.

Although it was close to dinner time, the streets were still bustling with pedestrians. Wayne and Francesca, arm in arm, were a striking couple, attracting the attention of passersby.

These countless gazes were nothing to Francisca, who had been a member of the elven royal family since childhood, and to Wayne, who was already somewhat accustomed to his identity as a witcher, they were just commonplace.

The two strolled along the scenic street, chatting as they went. Occasionally, they would enter a shop that interested them, buy something, and stop to try any new or unusual food they discovered.

Wayne discovered that Francesca was not as detached from worldly affairs as she seemed. Over the years, although she rarely went shopping like an ordinary person, she did not experience the mundane realities of daily life.

However, they are not lacking in experience and knowledge, and they have their own opinions and understanding of everything. They also maintain curiosity and respect for new things.

About half an hour later, led by Wayne, the two arrived at the shop of the elven armor master, Tynssel.

This is a shop with a luxurious storefront and a large area. Judging from its decoration and its location on a bustling street, this elven armor master clearly has considerable authority in the local area and is highly sought after by the local people.

Pushing open the shop door, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge display wall, with all kinds of exquisite armor placed on the display stand like exhibits.

A middle-aged male elf sat behind a counter, leisurely smoking a pipe. Even when he noticed a customer, he merely glanced at him lazily, showing no intention of getting up to greet him.

In this shop, besides him, there was another young human, who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a rather honest appearance. When he saw Wayne and Francesca, he immediately smiled and came over to greet them.

"Guests, this is Master Ornsel's shop. What can I do for you?"

"Whether you buy a product, have it custom-made, or want it built according to blueprints, it's all possible."

"Master Tainsel is a master blacksmith as certified by the Blacksmiths' Guild. His skills are the best among all blacksmiths. Of course, his prices are also quite high."

After listening to the young man's introduction, Wayne turned to look at Francesca. He saw the sorceress looking at some finished armor pieces in the shop with curiosity in her eyes, but she didn't seem inclined to speak.

Seeing this, Wayne had no choice but to speak up himself:

"Young man, I need to commission some top-tier armor. I need to speak with Master Tainsel privately."

The young human hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the middle-aged elf behind the counter, who was clearly Thansel.

The middle-aged elf, Tynssel, had obviously heard Wayne's words. After Wayne finished speaking, the elf slowly sat up straight and carefully examined Wayne and Francesca beside him.

A few seconds later, the beautiful Francesca beside him exchanged a glance with him. The middle-aged elf suddenly froze, then, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, quickly stood up and said to the young human:

"Lafa Kui, you can go back now. That's all for today. Remember to close the shop door behind you."

Then, Master Tynssel bowed slightly to Francesca and Wayne, and said respectfully:

"Madam, sir, let's discuss the custom nail art in my drawing room."

As he spoke, he walked out from behind the counter, came to a door, and gestured an invitation to Francesca and Wayne in the hall.

The young human named Raphael was very surprised. He knew the temperament of this elf master very well and had never seen him be so polite to anyone before.

However curious he was, he still bowed respectfully to his master's order, obediently closed the shop door, and left.

After the three of them entered a nicely decorated reception room, Tyncel politely brewed a cup of tea for them, then sat down opposite them and looked at Francesca, seemingly unsure how to begin.

Seeing this, the sorceress readily removed her pearl earrings, revealing her naturally beautiful elven ears. With a smile, she asked the elven armor master:

"Mr. Tyncell, have you seen me before?"

Seeing Francesca reveal the delicate ears characteristic of elves, Tiancel seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief, then rose again, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Princess Francesca, I was once a subject under your father's rule. I was fortunate enough to see your face at some celebrations, and I have never forgotten it. However, a few hundred years ago, I migrated to the south to settle down because I could no longer bear the struggle with humans."

Upon hearing the title "Tainsel," Francesca showed a slight look of nostalgia. After a moment of distraction, the sorceress smiled and said:

"Tyncel, the man beside me is also one of our kind. His name is Wayne, and he is also a Witcher of the Wolf School."

He probably needs your help with something.

"Let's talk again after you've finished talking."

After speaking, Francesca nodded gracefully to the two men, then took a book from her pouch and left the reception room.

After the sorceress left, Wayne clearly sensed that Tyncel breathed a slight sigh of relief, and even his posture relaxed considerably.

Wayne asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Master, you seem a little reserved in your attitude towards Ms. Francesca. Is there a reason for that?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the middle-aged elf merely glanced at Wayne indifferently, reached into his pocket, pulled out his pipe again, put it in his mouth, took a satisfying puff, and then said:

"You new generation of elves certainly don't know that Princess Francesca was once the most beautiful and talented elven royal in our race. She was the dream lover of countless young elves and was deeply loved by everyone."

"Even now, this noble lady is the most outstanding spellcaster on the entire continent. It is because of her protection that many elves have been able to retain their current power and status."

"She is a respectable woman."

After a few words of reflection, Tynssel casually said to Wayne:

"Are you a Witcher too? Are you looking to craft some equipment?"

"Before you, many witchers came to me, all wanting me to craft equipment for them."

"Since you are someone brought by Princess Francesca, I can give you a cost price and only charge you for the materials."

Unexpectedly, Francesca had such influence; just one meeting could save him a lot of money. Wayne chuckled inwardly, but said aloud:

"Master, I don't have any suitable equipment blueprints at the moment."

"I've come to find you because I heard you know something about high-level Demon Hunter equipment blueprints. I hope you can tell me their locations so I can collect them."

………………

Half an hour later, Wayne and Francesca left Tynssel's shop together.

Wayne was in a very good mood. He had obtained the whereabouts of the master-level equipment blueprints for the Griffin School, Wolf School, Bear School, and Flying Lion School from Tynssel.

Although he could find out the blueprints of the Wolf School by asking Vesemir, he still had to collect the body of the colleague Vesemir had sent here decades ago.

As for the Cat School Grandmaster-level blueprints, well, because he arrived too early, this hadn't happened yet. The Cat School Witcher with the blueprints hadn't arrived in Toussaint, nor had he died.

While he was chatting with Francesca, the sorceress told him that Thanessel would probably stay in Toussaint for about another month before heading to the Valley of Flowers to settle down.

His shop will also be managed by his apprentices. If Wayne needs armor in the future, he can go directly to Hundred Flowers Valley to find him.

Well, Wayne felt a little regretful about the news, but also somewhat fortunate. At least his decision saved the elven armor master's life, preventing him from dying at the hands of racists at some point in the future, which could be considered as indirectly strengthening the foundation of the elven race.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Francesca's skills. Although Wayne knew that this sorceress was always trying to win him over, he had to admit that he felt very comfortable and happy when he was with this intelligent, generous and beautiful elven sorceress.

It can only be said that even heroes cannot resist the charms of a beautiful woman. When faced with a beautiful woman, even the most hard-hearted person will give her some preferential treatment.

That night, Francesca did not return to the north, but went back to Wayne's rented room with him. Of course, the two did not do anything like what people usually expect, after all, their relationship had not reached that point yet.

Wayne simply made some desserts and snacks that women like, and the two chatted and ate snacks while playing Gwent all night.

To his surprise, the seemingly ethereal elf beauty Francesca was actually a Gwent master with a huge collection of rare cards. Her skill and luck were also exceptional. If Wayne hadn't already reached level nine in Gwent, he might not have been able to defeat this elf beauty.

That evening, the two had a great time. Francesca subtly learned some of Wayne's advice on the future of the elves from him, while Wayne gained a lot of Gwent experience and several rare Gwent cards from Francesca.

The next day, the beautiful sorceress packed up the many pastries and snacks Wayne had made and then used a portal to return directly to the north.

To Wayne's surprise, Letho was incredibly fast and kept his word. Just one day later, he and his two companions found the Red Moon Inn, and the two schools of witchers were finally reunited.

Faced with such guests, Wayne was naturally very hospitable. He went straight to the best restaurant in the city, booked a private room, and served the best food and the finest wines. After the conversation ended, he even planned to take these people to the best brothel in the city to let these witcher brothers, who were used to living in poverty, witness the power of Wayne's money.

The four men sat in a luxurious private room, drinking and chatting. From Letor, Wayne learned a lot of information.

First of all, his two companions are both Witchers from the Viper School. The one he met last time was shorter and named Serret, while the other one was taller, smelled of medicine, and was wearing bandages. He was named Oakes. Both of them were relatively young Witchers, and their experience and strength were not outstanding, so the three of them always went on missions together.

Letho's full name is Letho of Guletar. Like Geralt of Rivia, he was a relatively famous witcher in the former southern kingdom of Arbin.

As Wayne predicted, the Viper School was besieged by the Nilfgaardian usurpers two years ago. Apart from the three witchers who survived, there was also an older witcher master who was seriously injured and almost crippled. He is now hiding somewhere in the Southern Kingdom, responsible for protecting the Viper School's remaining assets.

In addition, one or two veteran Witchers have gone missing and their whereabouts are currently unknown.

Meanwhile, Letso and his two companions carried out their commission while searching for a future path for the Viper School.
