Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 294 Aftermath of the Disaster

There is indeed no distinction between good and evil in power.

Just like the fel energy and death power of the world of Azeroth, it can still produce demon hunters and death knights, people who fight for justice.

Unexpectedly, Princess Lani of the Moon, who seemed to lack common sense, actually had such insights, which made Wayne look at her with new respect.

However, those profound truths can wait until later to be understood. Right now, it is more important to figure out what happened to the fallen warlocks who besieged him, apart from Yennefer.

Whether they are dead or alive, there has to be an explanation.

Wayne carefully observed the doll's facial expression before asking his question.

Interestingly, although Wayne and Lani had a cooperative contract, they actually didn't spend much time together. Before entering this mist, they only spent three days together, and after entering the mist, they only spent about three or four days together. In total, it didn't even equal a quarter of the time he was unconscious.

Lani's doll is of unknown origin, and it is very likely that the system smuggled it from somewhere in the border region. Wayne is the first otherworldly person Lani came into contact with, and he is also the otherworldly person who is willing to provide her with help.

Perhaps it was this mutual understanding and his potential that made Lani willing to help him.

"Are you referring to those human spellcasters corrupted by otherworldly forces?"

Lani's voice remained flat, lacking much emotion.

Wayne nodded, then suddenly realized that Lani must have seen all of his ugly behavior when he went berserk, and that he had even had relations with quite a few women during the time he had been with him.

For the previous month, he even livestreamed the entire time, spending a month shamelessly with several goddesses.

I wonder if the beautiful Princess Moon will mind this matter.

"They are not dead. I escorted your friends out of the mist and returned to you soon after."

"At that time, although your will had been dormant, your body had absorbed too much power from the evil god of another world, causing it to be controlled by your subconscious and enter a berserk state, where you were wreaking havoc in the mountains."

"However, the power emanating from those twelve spellcasters seems to have some connection to the dark magic within you."

"Instead of continuing their attack on you, they submitted to you as their master and joined you in attacking the monsters in that mountain."

"However, you, who had gone berserk, did not act as they wished. You released one of the female spellcasters from control and ordered her to leave."

"The remaining people, under your orders, locked themselves in a nearby cave."

At this point, Lani's doll looked up at Wayne and continued:

"However, a month has passed now, and I don't know if those spellcasters are still alive, or if they will continue to obey your orders."

Upon receiving this news, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that, under the control of his subconscious, he would indulge his desires and do some barbaric and lewd things.

Even if he hadn't pinned those sorceresses down and ravaged them several times, he would never have let them go so easily.

Unexpectedly, he simply let those people lock themselves up. Could it be that, subconsciously, Lord Wayne is a good person?

Wayne chuckled to himself, feeling that the ending was not bad, even a happy one for all.

However, he had no intention of rescuing those people immediately. Not only did he not know how to break free from Baal's control, but he also could not be sure whether these people still harbored hostility.

Even if he had that ability, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to appear near that spatial rift from the past right now.

As the main entrance to this otherworldly invasion, even though the matter has been resolved, you are still heavily guarded, with various eyes watching you, both overt and covert. Going there now would only cause you trouble.

As for whether those guys would starve to death, Wayne didn't really care. He was already a renowned spellcaster, and if he starved to death, he could only blame their incompetence.

In any case, their lives or deaths are not a top priority for Wayne. Geralt's safety, finding a cure, or the affairs of the Witcher Order are all far more important than these people.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye, and many things have happened during this month.

First, there's Geralt. His injuries were indeed very serious; he was in a coma for almost half a month before waking up.

Fortunately, Margarita was a highly skilled sorceress with considerable expertise in healing magic, far superior to the charlatans like barefoot doctors, herbalists, and witches found in the countryside.

After reporting the information about the mist to the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, she immediately began to perform surgery on Geralt.

After a day of intensive treatment, the outcome was neither good nor bad.

White Wolf survived, but due to severe internal organ damage, he will likely require long-term recuperation and treatment for the next year or two. He will probably be unable to engage in any intense battles and will become a sickly, dependent patient.

Fortunately, Witchers are far stronger than ordinary people. Although Geralt's injuries were serious, with time and treatment, he could eventually be fully healed, though some aftereffects might remain.

It won't necessarily end the path of the Witcher; it just requires a long period of recovery.

In this regard, Wayne's potent healing potion, worth thousands of gold coins, played a crucial role. If it weren't for this potion keeping Geralt alive and allowing him to reach the well-equipped treatment room, he would have been saved.

Perhaps this time, Geralt of Rivia, the renowned swordsman of the North, will forever remain a story told by bards.

When Wayne went to visit Geralt, his good brother had already woken up. Although he was very grateful to Wayne for his help and for rescuing his goddess, between good brothers, everything was unspoken.

Yennefer was by Geralt's side, taking gentle and meticulous care of the man.

After this ordeal, Yennefer clearly realized how reliable Geralt was. Although he was sometimes a bit carefree, the White Wolf would truly risk his life for the one he loved and dare to face any enemy.

Yennefer witnessed firsthand how brave and desperate Geralt was when they were surrounded by the soldiers of the Fallen Humans. He was a man worthy of entrusting one's life to, far more reliable than those so-called knights.

When they were alone, Wayne found Yennefer and asked her some questions.

However, the result he received was quite disappointing.

Yennefer has no memory of how she escaped the fog, or even how she was rescued.

After examination by the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, Yennefer lost her memories of being corrupted by the otherworldly energy and had no recollection of what she did after being controlled.

After visiting Geralt, Wayne also learned from Keira that the Brotherhood of Sorcerers did not know who had solved the problem, nor did they even know that there was a demon lord from another world behind it.

However, according to their organization's internal statistics, more than 30 young elite warlocks went missing during this operation, more than 1,000 mercenaries died, and five corrupted warlocks have been confirmed dead.

Several royal advisors from the Northern Kingdom, including Sabina, Sil, and Fringilla, have disappeared, as has a member of the Supreme Council.

According to the information Wayne gathered, the guy was the middle-aged male warlock possessed by Baal, who always wore a lens, and his name was Kaduin.

After being possessed by Baal, this unfortunate fellow had his body reshaped by hellish magic, and finally his body collapsed into blood and water, leaving no trace of his corpse.

Upon hearing the news, Wayne breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit of a pity that his fame hadn't spread throughout the North, it wasn't so bad. As the saying goes, "Man fears becoming famous, just as pigs fear becoming fat," and at least he wouldn't have all sorts of messy things bothering him.

Since Kayla and the others were quite far from the spatial rift, the Brotherhood of Warlocks already knew that Wayne had saved Yennefer, but they did not associate Wayne with the hero who had dealt with the mastermind behind it all.

Within just a few days, the loss of more than thirty core members of the organization dealt a heavy blow to the Warlock Brotherhood's strength. The various cleanup issues and the mediation of internal conflicts between kingdoms have left them severely understaffed.

Furthermore, although the fog over the Kingdom of Cordwin has dissipated, the countless monsters and corrupted humans lurking within it have not been eradicated or eliminated. Instead, due to the loss of control, they have spread throughout the northern kingdoms.

This undoubtedly added a lot of work to the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, who were specifically responsible for handling extraordinary events, and also added a lot of chaos to the entire North.

Nearly two months have passed, and apart from a few people close to Wayne, no one has taken the time to investigate further into what secrets lie behind this disaster.

(Not many updates today, wear more clothes tomorrow, thank you.)
