Chapter 108: Two Proposals
"Haha, George, since I already know your difficulties, it's not my character to do nothing."
Wayne took a sip of cherry honey, pondered his tone, and continued
"I have two proposals now, you can listen to them."
"Oh?"
George was a little curious when he heard this, what would the young witcher in front of him say when he met for the first time?
"What's the offer, Wayne?"
Wayne smiled good-natured and said:
"First of all, isn't the reward you have commissioned this time three hundred Oren? I'll lend you the three hundred Oron first, no interest required, and then return the money to me when you have completed the commission. ”
"You can tell that I'm not short of this little money."
George looked at Wayne's complexion and dress with a little envy, indeed, his current appearance is not so much a witcher sleeping in the open as a noble young master with fine clothes and food.
Speaking of which, it may really be an invisible influence of luck, since Wayne came down the mountain, except for the first Misha to find the child's commission, only five Ducats as a reward, all the other people who met were honest and generous good people, not only paid well, but also had a good character.
Of course, this is also related to his employers, who are all figures with heads and faces, not those people in the countryside and villages.
"So, what's the second proposal?"
As a witcher of the Griffin School who believes in chivalry, although Wayne seems to be a very kind person, George does not want to be helped by others for no reason.
After all, monetary debts are easy to repay, but personal debts are not.
Seeing that George rejected the first proposal, Wayne was not disappointed, this proposal didn't have much meaning, just lending a small amount of money, and it wouldn't make George owe him any big favors.
"As for the second proposal?"
After filling his glass, Wayne looked at George and said:
"George, as you know, dragons are all highly intelligent, and their numbers are so scarce that they are about to become endangered, so it would be a pity to just kill them and take away dragon skins or other materials."
Hearing Wayne's hidden meaning, George asked with some frowns:
"Do you want to capture this dragon alive, or let it go?"
Wayne laughed, didn't say what he thought, and asked George:
"Did you hear anything about the dragon hunt in Holobor City a few months ago?"
George shook his head and said:
"I just came back from the Skellig Islands two months ago, and I've only heard a little bit of bits and pieces, and I don't know exactly what happened."
Wayne didn't mind, but used his excellent eloquence to tell George the cause and effect of Holobert's dragon hunting operation while drinking and eating meat, and only after telling the story did he tell his second proposal.
"That golden dragon friend of mine definitely didn't want to see his own kind, so he was killed by our demon hunters."
"George, if you're willing to help me, I'll inform my Golden Dragon friend, and the three of us will work together to subdue that Green Dragon."
"No matter what happens to it in the end, it will definitely not have a chance to pose a threat to any humanity in the future."
Seeing that George was still silent and did not issue any comments, Wayne added:
"Well, as for the reward for your assistance to me, I'm willing to pay you a thousand Oron, and I'll pay for the repair of your equipment, as well as all the costs of this mission, how about it?"
I have to say that as a boss who is not bad for money, the reward given by Wayne is almost the highest George has seen in the past ten years, but as a witcher, he is still a little puzzled, and asked directly:
"Why bother, Wayne?"
"Wouldn't it be great to kill that green dragon directly?"
Of course, Wayne couldn't say that if it wasn't for his intervention, George would have died at the hands of this dragon, and he did feel that it was a bit of a waste to kill him directly for a rare green dragon.
If it was a female dragon, Borch would not have minded having another mate of his own.
And even if it is a male dragon, let Borch kill him together, it will not make his friends feel bad because of this dragon slaying, and it will save George's life by the way.
Hearing George's question, Wayne sighed and said:
"George, we witchers are only mortal in the flesh, we have to do everything we can to increase our chances of survival."
"Think about it, if you don't follow my proposal, it's just you, wearing this shabby armor, to fight that green dragon."
"Are you sure you're safe?"
"If you die at the hands of this green dragon, then many people who may need your help in the future will lose the chance to live."
"Your griffon school will decline even more, or even die outright."
"Our purpose is to protect those vulnerable civilians, as long as this goal, process and means are achieved, whether the monster is dead or alive is not that important, right?"
After saying what he thought, Wayne picked up his glass, raised it to George, and said:
"Of course, I'm just proposing, no matter which one you choose, or none of them, it doesn't affect us from becoming friends."
George was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Wayne with a smile full of vicissitudes.
As a witcher of the Griffin School who has been active in the northern kingdoms for more than a hundred years, he is not actually an old-fashioned and stubborn person.
"Wayne, these two proposals are too good for me, if it was not a witcher who made these two proposals, but a merchant or nobleman, I would definitely think that they were all liars, and even be prepared to be repaid afterwards."
"To be honest, when I received this dragon hunting commission, I already had a premonition in my heart that this might be my last mission."
"But now, if I can get another witcher and a dragon as my helper, I think maybe my life as a witcher can continue, right?"
Everyone understands the principle that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is a two-harm principle, and if it is not a matter of principle, no one will refuse to win a win-win situation.
As he spoke, George took the initiative to toast Wayne with a glass of wine, and said in a sincere tone:
"Thank you, Wayne, for my second offer."
"Now, you're my employer."
Now that an agreement has been reached, the conversation between the two has become much more casual.
Wayne directly invited George to stay in his guest room and gave him a taste of his mastery of cooking.
When the two were having dinner together, they also began to talk about the assignment of this mission.
"That golden dragon friend of mine will probably have to wait a week to get here."
Wayne picked up a piece of crispy and tender fried chicken, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile:
"Tomorrow, you first buy some materials for making alchemy bombs or potions in the city, and replenish the supplies for combat."
"Of course, you can also use the bombs and potions of our wolf school to fill my warehouse."
George smiled when he heard this, and asked curiously:
"Are you talking about the warehouse on the first floor, to be honest, I was really shocked when I first saw the contents of that warehouse."
"So many bombs, so many potions, what are you going to do with so much? How long will it take to run out? ”
Wayne shrugged his shoulders, of course he couldn't say that it was because he was practicing the appendage made by the skill, and just said vaguely:
"These things are not prepared for this battle."
"After this commission is over, in the second half of the year, I have a big mission that I need my witcher friends to help me."
"When the time comes, if you have time, please come and help me, George."
George didn't immediately refuse, but he didn't immediately agree, but said vaguely:
"If I have the time, of course, no problem, but I'll have to see what the commission is."
Wayne knew that this was because George had some scruples, worried that the commission he said involved political factors, so he would not easily agree to it before hearing the content.
Instead of debunking, he laughed and explained:
"You'll definitely have time, George, my commission is to clean up a growing evil god's lair, there are a lot of monsters in it, I can't clean up that many by myself, that's why I want to find some friends to help."
"Evil gods?"
George frowned when he heard this, even in his more than a hundred years of life as a witcher, he had never encountered a few missions related to evil gods.
"If it's an evil god, then it really has to be cleaned up as soon as possible, these guys are weird and evil, if you leave it alone, maybe when, it will cause a large-scale disaster."
Wayne nodded, and did not dwell on the subject, but continued:
"When your equipment and supplies are ready, George, you can go first, and go to Willen to find out about our operation first."
"My Golden Dragon friend and I will join you in a few days."
"I remember, there seems to be a place near Willen, called the Crow's Nest, right, let's meet at the gate of the Crow's Nest."
(Thank you for the tips from all the bigwigs yesterday, thank you for a little leisure, Daji and Bigan, the red flower on the other side, and the sparrow on the cloud for the rewards, Mo Da!) )
(There's another big chapter in the afternoon, and I'm going to sort it out.) )
