Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 343 Sudden Assassination

After two more pleasant days together, Wayne's romantic and extravagant advances brought him and the pastor closer together.

Young girls with no romantic experience are often easily won over by men who are rich, handsome, and skilled in various romantic gestures.

While pursuing his love interests, Wayne also didn't forget his mission to deal with the black dragon princess Onknishia.

Although he set the time for the battle at the noble council meeting two days later, he had no way of telling others about his decision.

After all, it was too hard to believe that a black dragon could transform into human form, especially since the target was a powerful countess whom Regent Bolvar Fordragon was passionately pursuing.

Even if someone has doubts about them, they dare not take any drastic measures; they can only try to find evidence to prove their point of view.

However, Wayne had no such concerns. He first used the excuse that he had found some secret information to have MI7's Shaw deploy a large number of people around the banquet. He also took out a large sum of gold coins to hire more than a dozen well-known adventurers in the city to wait in an inn not far from the banquet venue.

They were given a brocade pouch and told to wait until certain conditions were met before having it opened.

In addition, Wayne, in his personal capacity and under the pretext of rewarding the Church of Holy Light for its help to him, had Paltris invite many of his fellow clergy to dine at another upscale restaurant that evening.

Although this action made the priestess feel very strange, the innocent girl was no match for the cunning witcher. She was fooled by his clever reasoning and still completed Wayne's plan.

After arranging these three sources of assistance, Wayne was still not entirely at ease. Unfortunately, his relationship with Major Gengsett wasn't strong enough; otherwise, he might have remembered their connection and tricked another group of military experts into coming as well, so they could deal with the aftermath together once things went wrong.

However, if things really escalate and the black dragons show up, even if Wayne doesn't invite these experts from Stormwind, they will probably come quickly to deal with the enemies here.

His reason for doing this was simply to minimize casualties after the battle.

………………

Two days passed in a flash, and on the second evening, Wayne and Paltris, dressed in a gorgeous white gown, entered the home of Countess Katrana Presto.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. With Lord Wayne's financial support, the originally plain-looking pastor's daughter, after being packaged and dressed up, immediately became a very eye-catching sight at the banquet.

Her pure temperament, extraordinary beauty, and the talent of a high-ranking priestess were enough to overshadow the other women at the banquet, making those noblewomen who could only rely on their bloodline to demonstrate their nobility pale in comparison, and they all avoided her.

Upon entering the banquet hall, as Paltris's companion, he formally met the hostess of the banquet, Countess Katrana Presto, who was disguised as the black dragon princess Octenesia.

She was indeed a very beautiful noblewoman. Judging by her appearance and temperament alone, it's no wonder that those good-for-nothings in the noble council were so infatuated with her.

With her long golden hair, tall figure, and revealing, luxurious dress that accentuated her curves and thighs, she was enough to capture the attention of any man.

Perhaps because she was a dragon princess, she naturally looked down on humans. Even as the hostess welcoming guests, this countess didn't smile much, giving off a lazy and condescending vibe.

It gives you a strong urge to fuck her and conquer her.

However, this is merely the imagination of men.

In Stormwind, Countess Katrana Prestor has seized most of the power in the Council of Nobles, and even the Regent listens to her. Moreover, the Countess is Prince Anduin's royal tutor, making her a very important figure in the ruling class.

"Your Excellency, this is Ms. Paltris, the youngest high priestess in the Holy Light Church. She has come here to raise funds for the church."

As soon as Wayne and Paltris entered the banquet hall, a servant immediately led them to the Countess.

However, even though the priestess was a representative of the Church of Holy Light, Countess Katlana didn't seem to take her seriously.

After the servant finished the introductions, the Countess remained seated in one of the chairs at the banquet, holding a glass of blood-red wine. She merely glanced at Wayne and Paltrias, a faint smile playing on her lips, showing no intention of standing up, and softly said:

"Welcome, Miss Paltris. You are the youngest high priest in the Cathedral of Light, and everyone praises you highly."

"The Noble Council will cooperate with you on this fundraising effort."

"I hope you have a pleasant time at this dinner."

After saying these words, the Countess shifted her gaze from Paltris to Wayne's face, but after only a second, she looked away with considerable disinterest.

He turned around and started talking to another man sitting not far away who looked somewhat sickly.

The man was wearing a rather formal suit, and he was handsome but pale.

But when Countess Katlana spoke to him, a look of infatuation would involuntarily appear on the man's face.

His identity is Duke Bolvar Fordragon, the current regent, a rather unlucky figure in the world of Azeroth.

However, Wayne wasn't particularly interested in his life story. According to the procedure, he was supposed to say goodbye and leave with Paltris to attend the banquet in the banquet hall, but he didn't do so.

He is a very straightforward man and doesn't like beating around the bush.

Just as Countess Katlana turned her head, Wayne took a light breath, then quickly reached for the spatial bracelet on his left hand with his right hand, and took out a magnificent two-handed greatsword that was more than a meter long.

At the same time, the chaotic magic that had been accumulating within him suddenly began to boil, surging into the Excalibur in his hand like a raging torrent.

The magnificent two-handed greatsword, under the infusion of Wayne's powerful magic, transformed into a massive lightsaber about five meters long, its entire body shimmering with golden light.

The lightsaber that suddenly appeared at the banquet slashed at Countess Katlana with incredible speed and without warning the instant it appeared.
