Chapter 102: The Strength of the Sorceress
After killing the two ghouls, Wayne did not let his guard down, but held the electric blade in his hand and waited for the magic inside to refill.
After all, the ghoul is just a piece of cake that is lured by the corpse, and the main owner who really kills the soldiers has not yet appeared.
Three minutes later, when the magic inside the electric blade was recharged, Wayne gripped the dagger and headed deeper into the mine.
The mine is very old and has a large interior space, and it is unknown when it was built, because it has a roof to cover it, and it is usually used as a warehouse.
As far as the eye can see, inside the cave, there are many stone building materials that have been cut into shapes, and in various places in the cave, there are burning braziers as illumination.
After a cursory glance, Wayne didn't run around, but slowly explored inward in the direction of the corpse's scent.
After moving forward for dozens of meters in search of the smell of corpses, he came to the vicinity of a tunnel that seemed to have been dug up recently.
Wayne found that more than a dozen corpses dressed as soldiers, scattered inside and outside the corridor, had long since disappeared, most of them died miserably, their bodies were cut in many places by sharp weapons, and they were basically no longer humanoid, which was also in line with the characteristics of monsters like demon spirits.
Spirits are born of extremely strong negative emotions and feel unending and indescribable pain. They are full of anger, hatred, and jealousy, so they hate and envy the living, and want to kill all the human beings.
Like other evil spirits, they are invisible, so they are not harmed by fire, toxins, or bloody weapons, and because of this, they can only be dealt with by spellcasters who can use magic, as well as monster expert witchers.
Seeing this, Wayne became even more vigilant in his heart, and he immediately added another layer of enhanced Quinn shield to himself, before continuing along this road.
The inside of the road is not very long, about 50 meters ahead, and it has come to the end of this road.
Looking at the scene at the end of the corridor, Wayne immediately discovered the cause of the whole thing.
It turned out that at the end of the road was a stone wall made of bricks, but at this time, I don't know if it was the work of the miners, the stone wall had been broken through a huge gap for people to pass.
Although Wayne didn't venture deeper, just by digging into the gap, he discovered that behind the stone wall was a catacombs of unknown age.
Many coffins with exquisite carvings are neatly arranged in the interior of the tomb, which is a large tomb of the multi-person burial type.
Wayne's skin could even feel the flow of air in the tomb, and it was estimated that there were other exits to the tomb.
Obviously, if I am not mistaken, the cause of this incident should be an excavation accident.
The miners accidentally dug up the outer wall of an unknown catacomb, without thinking about the consequences, or at the behest of someone, they directly destroyed the tomb, attracting the attack of the demons inside the tomb.
It's just that I pity the group of soldiers who came to investigate, if someone reported the whole cause of the incident in advance, they would probably directly entrust a professional warlock to solve the problem, instead of sending those soldiers who did not pose any threat to the demon spirits to come and send them to death.
After detecting this information, Wayne did not continue to investigate further, but slowly withdrew from this corridor.
Although this matter has not been 100% investigated, it is not his job alone.
Ten minutes later, Wayne returned to the surface and told Kayla and Tris, who had been waiting there, all the information he had discovered, and the sorceress was surprised at first, and then expressed their contempt for the Baron de Kober.
Obviously, this matter was deliberately concealed by the baron, and he did not want to bear any responsibility for the mistake on his side, so he concealed the cause of the incident and wanted to deal with it as an accident.
However, the two sorceresses will not blame anything, it is not their job, and when this commission is completed, they will naturally report the truth of the matter to the king in their capacity as royal advisors.
It is up to King Foltest to decide what to do next.
After listening to Wayne's report, Kayla looked at the witcher with admiration and complimented:
"A good witcher, Wayne, if this matter were left to those soldiers, it would definitely not be so efficient, and there would be casualties."
"Alright, now that we know that the enemy is a monster dominated by demons, please give us a little more time, and when we are ready, let's go clean up that catacomb."
In fact, no matter what combat class, just like the Demon Hunter, if you get the corresponding information before the battle and find a targeted strategy, then the battle will be twice the result with half the effort.
For example, if you confirm that the enemy is a demon spirit in advance, you can prepare more magic items that can restrain the demon spirit, and it will be much easier to clean up the tomb later.
Similarly, as a witcher, Wayne also needs to prepare for battle against these spirits who do not have these entities, and he chooses a recovery swallow potion, a wolf potion that increases agility, and a tawny owl potion that increases mana regeneration.
Originally, he considered whether to use the cat's eye potion of dark vision, but after thinking that he was traveling with two sorceresses who could use illumination, he decided to abandon this idea.
It's not that you can't tolerate the toxicity of cat's eye potions, but drinking too many potions is not an easy experience.
And after he finished meditating and added the evil spirit oil to his master-level silver sword, Kayla and Triss also completed their preparations.
"Wow, Wayne, your face is horrible, as if you are seriously ill, so pale and bloodshot." Kayla was surprised.
"Yes, I've also read in the book that witchers can strengthen their own strength through their aberrant organs, with the help of special potions, and the ability of some monsters."
"These are the results of the Warlocks of those Orders during the Demon Hunter Order."
"It's a pity that when the Demon Hunter Order was breached, a lot of knowledge about this was taken away or burned by some well-intentioned people."
After seeing Wayne's ugly appearance after drinking the witcher's potion, the two sorceresses were slightly surprised, and then began to whisper about their knowledge of witchers.
Warlocks in this era are elite talents who combine mages, scientists, researchers, and even doctors.
If it is said that witchers have to go through ten or twenty years of training before leaving the school.
Then the warlock may have to go through thirty or forty years of knowledge learning and various magical experiments before they graduate.
It can be said that every famous warlock is an extremely knowledgeable scholar.
Hearing the discussion between the two sorceresses, Wayne's heart moved, and he thought of the Erethusa Academy on the island of Sunid in Temeria.
It is true that most of the knowledge accumulated by their witchers was lost in a turmoil hundreds of years ago, and most of the current witchers can only survive on the inheritance left over from the Order.
Not only was it split into many schools, but it was also forced to move away from its homeland and disperse around the world.
But after so many years, not only did there not make any great progress in the various techniques of demon hunters, but they gradually disappeared due to the death of many demon hunters.
Perhaps, in the historic Erethusa Academy, you can find a lot of knowledge that will be helpful to the witcher.
However, this idea, Wayne is only thinking about it now, at this time it is in the strongest period of the Warlock Brotherhood, and there are countless strong people in the major academies, and they have a lot of vigilance against the profession of Demon Hunter, if they mess around at will and attract their attention, it may attract further suppression from the Warlocks.
The three of them chatted and kept moving forward, and soon followed the route Wayne had taken to the stone wall at the end of the road.
As a man, and as a warrior escort for this team, Wayne led the way, leading the way.
He reached out and gestured with an Alderfa seal, which directly shattered the other soft bricks on the stone wall, and shook the gap that could only allow ordinary people to enter a door large enough to accommodate two people.
And such a big movement seems to have attracted the vigilance of those demons in the catacombs, and some wails began to spread in the catacombs.
Seeing this, Kayla reached out and took out a magic item that looked like an oil lamp from her waist bag.
With the incantation that kept reciting from her mouth, a large amount of magic power was input, and the oil lamp, which was originally extinguished, quickly ignited a dark blue flame.
At the same time as the flames burned, a semicircular blue magic shield was also propped up in the center of Kayla that was visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this semi-circular, blue shield with a diameter of nearly five meters, Triss sighed with emotion and said:
"Wow! Exorcist Shield, is this a magical protective item you made, Kayla? ”
"With this shield, no monster within the ghost can get close to us until it's shattered."
When Kayla heard this, she raised her chin a little proudly and snorted, and then said:
"Triss, have you forgotten? In terms of protection, I have received the highest evaluation in the academy, and even Dean Margarita is not as good as me in this regard. ”
Triss nodded appreciatively, every sorceress who could be sent to each king was the best graduate of the academy, which was one of the reasons why the Warlock Brotherhood was so strong.
With this layer of protection, she can also cast spells inside the shield with peace of mind.
Triss took out a fiery red orb like a ruby, put it in the palm of her hand, and said with a smile to Wayne, who was standing at the front of the team:
"Hurry inside, Mr. Witcher."
"Clean up this place early, and when we get home, we can take a hot shower, I'm looking forward to your dinner tonight."
Wayne nodded, and glanced at the magic items in the hands of the two sorceresses, even a layman like him could sense the power of these two items.
And the next battle also confirmed his conjecture, he originally thought that the three of them would face a dozen or even dozens of demon spirits, it would be a bit of a difficult battle.
But what Wayne didn't expect was that Kayla supported the exorcist shield the whole time, and none of the demons could break through the shield's protection and attack the three people inside.
And the fiery red orb in Triss's hand, driven by her magic power, can uninterruptedly release all kinds of fire magic, even if facing the siege of five or six demon spirits at the same time, these large-scale fire magic can also kill those invisible demon spirits in a very short time.
The two sorceresses, one protecting and one attacking, instead made Wayne standing in the shield an ornament, he just held the master-grade silver sword in his hand, and concentrated on guarding the side of the two sorceres, preventing any accidents that might occur.
The three of them cleaned up the tomb in a carpet manner, and it only took half an hour to clean all the catacombs, and there were no accidents in the middle.
This result made Wayne a little embarrassed, he made all the preparations, drank potions, and smeared sword oil, but the whole mission was almost not a sword, and he was taken by two beauties to lie down and win.
At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the caster profession of Warlock.
If you say, don't make an appointment with the witchers, don't prepare them for battle, is the secret of winning the battle.
Again, it's best to cut off the hands of the caster, or pull out their tongues, before they even cast their magic.
Otherwise, once their spell is completed, then the one who dies is most likely you.
Of course, there is one other exception, and that is the caster's natural nemesis, the Demon Blocking Gold.
If you have a lot of Demonic Blocking Gold on you, and you have the opportunity to get close to those spellcasters, then even if you are an ordinary soldier, you have a chance to take down these high-ranking mages in the past.
From the discussion between Triss and Kayla, Wayne knew that this was an elven tomb thousands of years ago, and judging from its structure and style, it should belong to the elven city where Virgin City was originally located, and it belonged to the civilian tomb.
However, due to the long history, the local aboriginal elves have no inheritance, so no one has discovered it for so long.
Although it is certainly not as full of wealth as the elven royal tombs, after Kayla and Triss have discussed it, they still decide to divide the loot found among the three equally, which is not a trip for nothing.
Of course, as a man who basically didn't contribute in the battle, the task of rummaging through all the coffins, searching the burial goods, and collecting those demon dust fell to Wayne.
But like this kind of work, Wayne is still quite happy, these elves have been dead for thousands of years, and the bones and slag have turned into dust, and he has no psychological burden, but like opening a treasure chest, he opens the museum one by one.
Unfortunately, this is only a civilian tomb, and because of the ventilation, all the burial goods have been weathered and not well preserved.
He rummaged through the loot for more than an hour, and probably found gold and silver jewelry worth less than a thousand Oron, as well as some gems that had lost their collectible value.
However, the demon spirit dust left by the dozens of demon spirits was more useful, and it was divided equally by the two female warlocks, and it was not counted as the spoils of war.
At dusk, before the sun had set, the trio completed their mission and returned to Kayla's mansion.
And just as the two sorceresses went to the town hall to receive their payment, Wayne also completed the expert commission he received from Kayla, earning forty experience points and an expert chest.
He didn't rush to open the treasure chest, but took the little maid Maisie to a nearby high-end food ingredient store to buy all the ingredients needed for dinner.
By the way, she also took the time to go home and find Lala, and in the exchange for some gifts, she told her brother Fitz that the appointment with the fisherman king tonight was going to be broken, and she hoped to postpone it for a day.
