Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 342 Noble Banquet

The benefits of Soul Wine are indescribable, although making this wine requires using souls as ingredients, which is a rather evil spell.

However, as long as Wayne doesn't tell anyone, Miss Paltris will never know, and most of the monsters Wayne kills are demons and monsters, so even if someone finds out, it wouldn't be considered a heinous act.

With the help of this fine wine, the priestess's healing process lasted all night. Holy light enveloped Wayne, successfully sealing the hellish magic within him into a crystal and constructing a sturdy defensive magic array around this magic crystal.

Humans have used holy light for thousands of years, and their application of holy light is quite sophisticated. Although this is the first time the priestess has seen hellish magic, she has dealt with similar evil god powers several times in the history of the Church of Holy Light, so she is not without experience.

Moreover, as a genius of the Church of Holy Light, her talent is beyond doubt. After this sealing, Wayne is able to use more than 80% of the chaotic magic power in his body. After a few more consolidation treatments, he can choose to expel this hellish magic power from his body, or he can choose to take the risk and absorb this magic power with Lani's help.

The next morning, after a night of spellcasting, Miss Paltris showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, her complexion was rosy and she looked radiant.

In addition, the fact that a man and a woman spent the night alone in the prayer room last night inevitably aroused strange thoughts among many church members who were unaware of the situation.

As Wayne and the pastor walked down the church corridor, many young people looked at him with the eyes of an enemy. Clearly, Paltrice was quite popular in the church. However, Lord Wayne certainly didn't care about the hostility of these spoiled brats. After witnessing the pastor's talent and beauty, he would not give this excellent girl to anyone else, neither morally nor logically.

"Wayne, I thought you were a powerful warrior, but I never expected you to be a highly skilled mage. This really surprises me."

"But with your strength and past achievements, you should be a renowned adventurer. It's a pity I've never heard your story before."

After a long night of hard work, Wayne naturally invited the pastor to dinner to express his gratitude.

Pardris did not refuse; she was very interested in Wayne's story, and whenever the two walked together, the woman would ask questions with sparkling eyes.

Wayne was always quite pleased when facing a beautiful young woman. After hearing her question, he thought for a moment and, instead of lying, replied with a half-truth:

"This is not your problem, Paltris."

"However, since you've already asked, as a friend, I really shouldn't hide it from you and should tell you my secret."

"Actually, I come from another distant continent, and I am not a human from this continent."

"And my profession is not a warrior or a mage, but a combat profession that combines warrior skills and magic, called a demon hunter, an adventurer who specializes in hunting monsters and demons."

Upon hearing this, Paltris opened her mouth in surprise, but soon her curiosity only grew stronger, and her interest in Wayne only intensified.

Young people can never suppress their curiosity, and those beautiful girls are like adorable little kittens, quite clingy.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Wayne intended to leave to deal with the Hunter Badge matter, but to his surprise, Paltris made a rather unexpected invitation.

The pastor blushed slightly, her eyes darting away, avoiding Wayne's gaze.

"Wayne, do you have time two nights from now?"

"A noble dinner party is to be held at the home of Countess Catlana Presto."

"I didn't want to participate in this banquet, but His Holiness the bishop has put me in charge of the issue of funding for education in this year's council of nobles, and I need to discuss related matters with many nobles in the council."

"However, I am not very familiar with the etiquette of aristocratic banquets, so I would like to invite you to be my date and attend the banquet with me."

Countess Katrana Presto? Isn't that Princess Onknesia, the Black Dragon?

Upon hearing this, Wayne was overjoyed and, without much hesitation, immediately accepted Paltris's invitation with a smile.

He would never refuse the priestess's request, even for an ordinary dinner party, let alone when the target was the Black Dragon Princess, whom he had always wanted to get close to.

Upon closer reflection, the noble banquet was indeed an excellent opportunity. Under such circumstances, if they could force the other party to reveal their true form, even if they ultimately failed to kill the Black Dragon Princess, their plan would still completely fail.

Moreover, as the hostess of the banquet, she would lack the protection of her subordinates in that situation, and it would be difficult for her to be vigilant when facing the guests, making her an ideal target for a sneak attack.

When the fight breaks out, the guards at the banquet, and even the other experts invited to the banquet, will all become allies, and will have no choice but to besiege the evil black dragon.

As for the question of whether the other members of the council of nobles would be sacrificed, Grandpa Wayne regretfully stated that he would not feel sorry for those corrupt nobles even if they all died.

"Of course, no problem, Paltris."

Wayne smiled at the pastor, a warm smile on his face, and said:

"You're my friend, and you've helped me a lot. How could I possibly refuse an invitation from such a beautiful lady like you?"

Hearing the Witcher's praise, Paltris's smile became even sweeter.

This innocent young woman had never been pursued by any other man, and as a devout pastor, she devoted most of her time to the Holy Light and the Church. Lacking experience in dealing with outstanding men, she could easily become very happy with just a few simple words of praise.

However, after praising her, Wayne's expression changed, and he gracefully took the pastor's hand, placing his other hand on her slender waist.

Under Paltrias's surprised gaze, after performing a few dance moves, she said with a serious expression:

"Then, as a necessary etiquette for attending a banquet."

"Today, we're not only going to choose a dress that will make you even more beautiful."

"I will also teach you how to become the most dazzling jewel on the dance floor."
