In Wayne's manor, Wayne called the old butler Ford out of the study.

After some conversation, old Ford saluted Wayne slightly, and said with a serious expression:

"Rest assured, Mr. Wayne."

"I'll take care of everything on the manor while you're away."

"I will keep a detailed record of any expenditure and income, please trust my work ethic."

Wayne waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't see you like that, old Ford, my friend, of course I believe you, or I wouldn't have left so many things to you."

"After I leave, White Fang and Robin will stay in the manor, now Robin is strong enough, it will go to the forest to eat by itself, there is no need to prepare its food, but White Fang is a small thing, please leave it to you."

"By the way, there are also those herbs that I brought back from other places, you should also send someone to expand their planting area, and it is best to add a few more planting areas before I come back."

"As for other things, they are all trivial, I have been away for about half a year this time, and next time I may bring one or two acquaintances back to help you manage the manor, and it can also reduce your burden."

When the old hobbit heard this, he did not feel offended, but breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"That's the best, Mr. Wayne, and to be honest, just managing the growing area has taken a lot of my energy, and it would be best if I had someone to help me."

"Old man, I want to live a few more years."

Soon, after explaining the problems of Wayne Manor, Wayne came to a mysterious room located on the first floor.

This room, in the eyes of others, is just an ordinary library with many bookshelves and various books.

But in Wayne's eyes, the center of this room is the spatial crack in and out of this world, and one of the important purposes of wanting to build Wayne Manor in the first place is to control this spatial passage in his own territory.

In the future, when the entire manor is replaced with people he trusts, no one will be able to discover the secrets of his travel between the two worlds.

After confirming that there was nothing to explain here, Wayne took a light breath, activated his abilities, and returned to the wizarding world.

………………

Virgin City, Trissy's mansion.

A sorceress in a purple light pajama was sitting by the window, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and supporting her chin in the other, looking at the moon outside the window with some boredom.

Opposite her, Kayla, also dressed in a light white lace pajamas, sat at the table, holding a silver fork and playing with the fruit on the plate, yawned a little boredly, and said:

"What are you going to do? Triss. ”

"The king can't wait, and he's going to post a public notice in the country, looking for someone who can lift the curse of the vampire bird."

"If you do this, you will undoubtedly send a handle to the hands of other fiefdom nobles, and when the time comes, some despicable bastards will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, exaggerate the impact of this matter, and tarnish the reputation of the king."

"I don't think we, as royal advisers to the king, should allow this to happen."

When Triss heard this, she still looked at the moon in the sky, and did not speak, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Kayla didn't care, but continued:

"Some ministers suggested that they directly kill the vampire demon bird, after all, it has been almost three years, and there are more than eighty people who have died at the hands of this monster."

"Now every month, I have to use the death row inmates in the cell to satisfy the bloodthirsty desires of this monster."

"This has already caused a lot of dissatisfaction among nobles and ministers."

"You also know, the kind of thing that happened to King Foltest and his sister was originally a scandal, and now the children of the two of them have become monsters, if this matter continues to ferment and is used by someone with a heart, it may cause a big turmoil, and maybe it will cause a big turmoil."

Seeing that she had said so much, and Triss sitting by the window was still in a daze, Kayla couldn't help frowning and said loudly:

"Hey! Triss, I'm talking to you about business! ”

"Look at your current nymphomaniac appearance, do you still have a little bit of a sorceress's spirit?"

"It's just that I haven't seen him for more than four months, and if you're hungry, with our beauty and status, aren't there a lot of men waiting for you to choose?"

"You're missing him here, maybe that little bastard is having a good time in some bitch's bed?"

Hearing Kayla say this, Triss withdrew her gaze from the moon and sighed a little sadly, but instead of discussing Wayne's problem with Kayla, she said:

"Kayla, King Foltest is a very stubborn person, no matter what we think, as long as that vampire bird is still his daughter, he will not agree to let the vampire bird kill before he is completely dead."

"Unfortunately, we have too few records of cursed creatures like vampire birds."

"I consulted many books and couldn't find a way to lift this curse."

"Until things turn around, I guess this situation will continue for a long time."

After saying this, Triss looked at Kayla, who had a stronger political sense than Kayla, and had been a royal advisor for a longer time, so she knew the king's character better.

So, he continued to persuade:

"The best solution now is to find a way to lift the curse of the vampire bird and help the king rescue his princess."

"If you want to get rid of the king by killing the vampire birds, you won't do him any good except offend him completely."

"Kayla, you have to understand that it is not the nobles who give us rights, but the Warlock Brotherhood and the King, and you have to figure out who we should be loyal to."

Hearing Triss's explanation, Kayla thought for a long time in silence, and then looked at the red-haired sorceress with rather complicated eyes.

Because of Wayne's relationship, the former colleague and friend friendship between the two has been estranged to a certain extent, but also because of Wayne's relationship, the relationship between them has abandoned a lot of hypocritical pretenses, and some things that ordinary friends will not discuss in detail at all can also be discussed openly and seriously.

Perhaps, to some extent, their relationship is closer.

In the past, at least, Triss might have given her a simple reminder or two on a political issue like this, but never as thoroughly as she does now.

Thinking of this, Kayla is not an ungrateful person either, she coughed lightly to make her tone less awkward, and then said with a little solemnity:

"Thanks for the reminder, Triss, it seems that we need to find an expert in curses to solve this problem."

Triss also smiled, in fact, she was more embarrassed than the other party when facing Kayla, after all, Wayne was Kayla's lover in the first place, and it was through Kayla that she met the witcher.

So for this junior, she always feels a sense of indebtedness inexplicably.

As for Kayla, Triss is not only one of her few best friends in Virgin City, but also her senior at work, helping her in many things.

Although she didn't handle the matter of Wayne the little milk dog enough, it didn't prevent her from having a good impression of Triss.

I drank a little too much red wine today, and I had been in a state of abstinence for about two or three months, and Kayla only felt that there was a fire in her body, which was slowly burning.

Just as the fighting in the room was intensifying.

A voice with a bit of banter came from outside the house.

"You two have given me a surprise, isn't it the right time for me to come?"
