Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 279 Making a Grand Debut

Leaving aside how enjoyable Wayne had that night, and how long the battle lasted before the two sorceresses were satisfied.

On the morning of the third day, after gathering at Kayla's mansion, they opened a portal and arrived at the small town of Cordwin, located near the mist.

The town is called Uñeva, and it used to be a small town with a population of five or six hundred.

However, when the monster-filled fog spread to this place, the wealthy and nobles of the town all fled because they were too close to the fog, and some cowardly townspeople also ran away. Only about one-third of the town's population remained, mostly the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled who were unable to escape.

The Warlock Brotherhood has temporarily taken over the area and set up a temporary base here to accommodate other warlocks. They frequently post bounty missions, attracting many mercenaries looking to make money.

These mercenaries were not very strong, and they often traveled in groups of ten or twenty to earn money. The influx of a large number of outsiders and their various needs for food, clothing, and shelter brought a different kind of prosperity to the town.

"Principal Margarita, Ms. Kayla."

Are you also participating in this bounty competition?

As soon as they passed through the portal, the warlock guarding the other side came to greet them.

As the current headmistress of the Academy of Aretusa, Margarita enjoys a very high status among all warlocks, and the warlocks guarding the portals naturally consider her to be the leader of this group.

However, the female principal was a very kind person. Noticing the other party's attitude, she naturally smiled and then looked at Kayla, saying:

"I came out with Kayla this time, mainly to study what's so special about these monsters from another world."

The gatekeeper looked at Kayla with some surprise, then glanced at Wayne and the others behind the two sorceresses, and finally said to Kayla:

"Ms. Kayla, according to the requirements of the Supreme Council, in order to participate in this bounty competition, you must sign a contract with me. It is a peaceful competition contract within our organization."

"The councilors demanded that all warlocks be forbidden from fighting amongst themselves, and that anyone found doing so would not only be expelled from the Warlock Brotherhood, but also face bounties and being hunted down by the organization."

Kayla and Margarita were well aware of this matter. They followed the warlock guarding the door to the room where the contract was signed, while Wayne led Letho and the others away from the Warlock Brotherhood's office.

As the group arrived at the office gate, a beautiful female sorcerer walked towards them. She was tall with black hair and black eyes, wearing a revealing red dress. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. She had a serious look in her eyes, and was followed by more than twenty fully armed knights in gleaming armor.

Noticing the four witchers standing outside the office, the sorceress raised an eyebrow and said to Wayne and the others with a hint of surprise:

"Are you witchers?"

"I haven't seen any witchers in Kaldwin for a long time, and I never expected to see four of them today."

Wayne glanced at Letor and the others a few times, and seeing that they weren't interested in talking to him, he took the initiative to step forward and say:

"Hello ma'am, my name is Wayne."

"While we witchers have always maintained a neutral policy, it's difficult for us to stay in an unpopular country for too long."

"The people of the Kingdom of Cordwin do not welcome us, so we rarely stay here anymore."

The sorceress nodded upon hearing this, adopting a rather haughty demeanor, and said:

"I have advised Henselt countless times that the inhabitants of non-human races are also inhabitants of the Kingdom of Cordwin, and they can also bring wealth to this country."

"However, he is a stubborn man and will not listen to my advice. He is currently in a coma, and the whole country is in chaos."

As she spoke, the sorceress looked at Wayne, then extended her palm and said:

"Hello Wayne, I am Sabina Grewisher, Royal Advisor of the Kingdom of Kovind."

"Welcome, Witchers. This country is overrun with monsters, and we really need you now."

"However, judging from your appearance, it seems that you have participated in the bounty competition within our Warlock Brotherhood."

"Then you'd better be careful. The monsters in the mist can defeat even an army, so they can't be dealt with by just a few swordsmen."

"The profession of Witcher seems to be very rare already. I hope that you won't become extinct because of this otherworldly monster."

Wayne frowned upon hearing this. The other party's tone, which seemed welcoming but was actually a warning, made him quite unhappy.

However, they are currently within the territory of the Kingdom of Cordwin, and the enemy is likely followed by noble knights, making it difficult to take action.

Otherwise, he would definitely make this little vixen know that she had messed with the wrong person.

Sabina certainly didn't know that even her master, Henselt, was almost killed by Wayne; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have had the courage to appear before him.

However, no sooner had the Royal Advisor of Cordwin finished speaking than the door to the office behind Wayne was pushed open.

Kayla's voice drifted over slowly.

"Thank you for your concern, Sabina. These witchers are my allies."

"Your king is currently lying in bed in a coma, and I didn't expect you to have the time to come and compete for this bounty."

"Won't the other royal ministers have any objections?"

Wayne turned around when he heard the sound, and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the people who appeared at the door.

Unexpectedly, besides Margarita, Yennefer, dressed in a sexy black dress, also came out with Kayla.

The sorceress from Wengeburg, with a half-smile on her face, looked at Sabina, who was somewhat angry because of Kayla's words, and suddenly said with a smile:

"Kayla, don't you understand?"

"It is precisely because Henset is already a sinking ship that Sabina is in a hurry to find another way out."

At this point, Yennefer put on a feigned concerned expression and said:

"Sabina, I heard you were planning to go and assist Henset's cousin, Marquis Irasset?"

"He shares similar political views with Henselt, so he should get along better with you."

As sorceresses from roughly the same era, Yennefer and Sabina did not get along well. Although they maintained a facade of harmony whenever they met, they were always at odds with each other in secret.

Seeing that there were three female sorcerers standing opposite him, while he only had one person on his side, he decided to avoid a disadvantageous situation.

Sabina gave a fake smile, and as she led the knights behind her toward the office door, she said with a smile:

"Thank you for your concern, Yennefer and Kayla."

"I can handle my own affairs."

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Cordwin, but this time, I don't have time to extend my hospitality to you."

"Let's catch up after this bounty is over."

After the royal advisor from the Kingdom of Cordwin left with his entourage, Wayne greeted Yennefer and asked with a smile:

"Ye, why are you all alone?"

"Where's Geralt? Didn't he come with you?"

Yennefer smiled and nodded at Wayne, saying with a hint of helplessness:

"That guy still isn't used to the teleportation portal, so he's decided to ride over on horseback. It'll probably take him another day or two to arrive."

"I am here because I was invited by Civire's royal advisor, Sheryl de Tansavier, to join us in researching the monsters from another world. We will not be participating in this bounty."

Geralt, on the other hand, wanted to return to Wolfsburg for the winter, so he set off two weeks early.

"Prepare to pick up commissions along the way."

Wayne nodded upon hearing this, surprised to see so many familiar faces so soon after arriving in Cordwin.
