Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 81 Another Master-Level Commission

When Borch woke up from his slightly tipsy state and went to the backyard, he saw Via sitting in Wayne's lap with a sweet smile on her face, playing Gwent with Tia.

The three acted intimately, playing and joking around, and it seemed that in just one afternoon, they had become true friends.

Borch's expression immediately turned somewhat strange. Tia and Viya were indeed his bodyguards, despite their usual smiling and harmless appearance.

But as dragon guards carefully selected from the female warriors of Zerekhan, possessing both strength and beauty, they are extremely proud at heart.

Along their journey from the Kingdom of Zerekan in the East to Temuria, at least thirty or forty men who harassed them because of their sexy attire were disemboweled and turned into corpses.

If it weren't for Borchi's kind nature, which often stopped the two girls from their murderous intentions, many more civilians would have died at their hands.

The most outrageous incident involved a gang of thugs led by Cordwin, who, taking advantage of their numbers, gathered a large group of men and attempted to humiliate two young girls.

As a result, the two female warriors, armed with Zerek sabers, chased and killed more than a dozen people, eventually attracting the attention of the city's army, who then had to stop.

In the end, it was Borchi who transformed back into a dragon and carried the two away from that area.

These female warriors held a high status in the country and were very picky about people. Unless someone could defeat them in combat and also meet their aesthetic standards, very few people could win their favor.

Seeing the three of them seemingly having a lot of fun with some strange cards, Borch also joined in with great interest.

When Wayne saw Borch walking over, his eyes lit up. Playing Gwent with the two girls was fun, but he couldn't gamble, and he had no experience with Gwent, which made him a little disappointed.

However, Lord Golden Dragon is known for his generosity and wealth, making him an excellent candidate for playing Gwent.

He beckoned to Borch, then showed him the exquisite Gwent cards in his hand, praising them as follows:

"Borchi, you've come at the right time. I'm teaching Tia and Viya to play a new game that originated from the dwarves. It's very interesting and is now becoming popular throughout the northern continent and even the southern continent."

"Want to join in some fun?"

Borch's eyes lit up. He took a beautifully crafted Gwent card and examined it closely.

"Of course, I won't refuse a new game. Tell me the rules of this game."

As a race with a long lifespan, Lord Golden Dragon has always been very curious about new things. He enthusiastically switched places with Tia and sat opposite Wayne.

Viya, on the other hand, boldly kissed Wayne on the lips, then ran over to Tia with a grin, their heads touching as they whispered to each other.

This made Wayne sigh inwardly. The girls of Zerekan were really too enthusiastic. Even though it was only their first meeting, it seemed like they would pounce on him with just a glance.

Moreover, the two men's intimate behavior towards him seemed to have no attempt to hide it from Borch, giving Wayne a unique sense of excitement.

Gwent games are always a lot of fun. As a master who has won hundreds of Gwent games, Wayne has enough basic cards. He gave each person a regular deck of cards, and the four of them played back and forth until evening.

After several hours of entertainment, Borch lost over four hundred gold coins, but he didn't care at all and remained in high spirits even when it was time for dinner.

While Wayne was cooking in the kitchen, he was still playing cards with two Zerikan girls, going back and forth, occasionally letting out shouts of frustration.

After the entertainment, they enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. Wayne had prepared several new dishes, and the delicious taste left the three of them wanting more.

Moreover, compared to the slightly polite and reserved atmosphere at noon, after an afternoon of Gwent, everyone's relationship had become much more harmonious.

When they talked to each other, their eye contact and physical touch became more intimate, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

After dinner, Borch seemed to have made up his mind. He cleared his throat, looked at Wayne, and said solemnly:

"Wayne, my friend."

"Although it may be presumptuous, I still hope to be able to issue you a request."

Seeing that the main event was about to begin, Wayne smiled and nodded, encouraging him in the expected tone:

"That's how it should be, Borch. Helping each other among friends is the most common thing."

"Tell me what you need, and as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will definitely help you."

Borch seemed to be touched by Wayne's generous words; he laughed, stepped forward, gave Wayne a hug, and said:

"That's right, my friend."

"On a mountain in Holober, there is a wounded green dragon. She is very important to me, and I must protect her."

"However, the news seems to have spread, and some teams that are trying to slay the dragon are getting restless and gathering in the town at the foot of the mountain."

"Meanwhile, some nobles from surrounding kingdoms heard the news and seemed very interested in slaying the dragon. They were organizing soldiers to head up the mountain."

"So, that green dragon is in great danger right now, and I hope you can help me protect her."

Ding! Mission triggered.

[Protect the Green Dragon, Milgatabrek] Master level.

Do you want to accept?

Upon hearing the system notification that it was a master-level mission, Wayne immediately accepted it without hesitation.

However, on the surface, he still maintained a thoughtful expression, considered for more than ten seconds, and then asked:

"My friend, I have only one question regarding this request."

"The green dragon you mentioned, is she a wicked dragon that wreaks havoc and indiscriminately kills innocent people?"

"If that's the case, then I can't help you protect her?"

Seeing that Wayne didn't seem to have much resistance to his request, Borch was secretly pleased. He patted his chest and earnestly assured him:

"Don't worry, my friend, this green dragon is a kind dragon. She has always lived in the wilderness and is a mother who laid dragon eggs."

"It was just that the local nobles, after learning that she had laid a dragon egg, attempted to seize the title of dragon slayer and thus organized their soldiers to harm her."

"The problem is that once the dragon eggs are laid, the mother dragon cannot leave the nest where the eggs are located."

"This is a brave mother who is willing to risk her life to guard the nest in order to protect her children."

"This sincere and great maternal love deserves people's respect."

Upon hearing this, Wayne feigned a slight apprehension, then nodded solemnly and said:

"Alright, Borch, I'll take this commission."

"Furthermore, I will persuade my companion to carry out this commission with me. He is a powerful witcher and quite famous in the North."

"Perhaps you've also heard of his nickname, White Wolf."

Borch immediately asked in surprise:

"Is it Geralt of Rivia? I've heard people mention him; there are legends about him in many places."

"That's him, he's my senior Witcher."

Wayne confirmed Borch's guess, and then continued:

"However, before carrying out this commission, there are some things I think it's better to make clear."

"This commission involves nobles and various forces, and even mages. Their goal is definitely to slay the dragon, and they are on the opposite side of us."

"We can't possibly deal with so many people at once, and as a Witcher, I can't kill the humans or nobles in the dragon-slaying teams just to protect the Green Dragon."

"Therefore, you, Tia, and Viya cannot act rashly and must follow our arrangements."

"Otherwise, we might not only fail to protect the green dragon, but also risk our own lives."

After considering this for a few seconds, Borch nodded and said:

"No problem, Wayne. You're the experts. Listening to your opinions is the right thing to do."

Wayne nodded in satisfaction at Borch's attitude, and then explained:

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Those dragon-slaying teams aren't all of one mind."

"When it comes to slaying dragons, some people do it for wealth, some for glory, some to obtain materials from the dragon, and some for some inexplicable purpose."

"Our goal is solely to protect the green dragon and her child; everything else can be sacrificed or traded."

"This gives us the opportunity to divide them."

"We'll analyze the specifics once we get to Hollober City."

"It should be some time before it happens. We'll set off immediately once we're ready."
