Chapter 167: The Great Harvest and Tris's Request
In the end, even if the thousand books were all publicly available books from the first floor, the total price was set at 15,000 Oron, an average of fifteen Oron each.
It seems like a lot, but Wayne also knows that this is already much cheaper than the price on the market, and it is definitely Margarita who has given up a lot of benefits to have such treatment.
And the dozen or so books of secret knowledge that Wayne needed were much more expensive, fifteen books, a total of four thousand five hundred Oron, and the average price of each book was about three hundred Oron.
However, for the expensive price of these books, Wayne not only did not have any idea of being too expensive, but felt that he had taken a big advantage, a big advantage.
Because these fifteen books not only include the relevant records about the development of the Grass Trial, research and development ideas, and a lot of experimental data that were lost during the Witcher Order, but also record the famous legendary warlock Arzu and his teacher Cosimo Malaspina, and many theories and knowledge of genetic modification between the two.
The two of them are the creators of the witcher, the top developers of all mutation experiments.
Wayne believed that with these books, together with the recipes for mutation experiments of various schools and the experimental data they recorded, and forming a team of high-level warlock researchers, the lethality of the Grass Trial could be restored or even improved, so that becoming a witcher would no longer be a tragedy.
In addition, among the thousands of books of all kinds, there is also the most real purpose of Wayne's trip to the Erethusa Academy.
That's what the Warlock Brotherhood has found, the coordinates of the magical places located around the world, and the coordinates of the spatial rifts they seal, well, only those that the Warlock Brotherhood is willing to make public.
These two kinds of knowledge are of little use to ordinary warlocks or spellcasters, because most of these locations and coordinates are located in the middle of nowhere, and they have no use value or cause any harm.
But for Wayne, a witcher with ancient blood and systems, every coordinate is valuable, representing a new world, and a point of ability that can make it stronger.
In order to hide the purpose of his desire to obtain this information, the various books purchased in large quantities this time also played a good cover role.
If there were problems with those spatial cracks and magical powers in the future, he would not be regarded as the main object of suspicion, and no one would even suspect him at all.
As for the payment of the book purchase, Wayne is certainly not stupid enough to pay such a large amount of astronomical money at one time, as a witcher who is famous for his poverty, taking out such a large amount of money at one time will undoubtedly be suspicious and cause people to track down.
Therefore, after consulting with Margarita and the others, the money will be paid in twenty-four installments over two years, and more than 800 Oren will be paid each month.
Dear little baby Triss, offered to vouch for him and bear all the remaining debts after he failed to complete the agreement, which is one of the important reasons why this deal was able to be reached.
And just when Wayne was thinking in his heart, when would he take the time to explore the situation in these spatial rifts and magical places, the time to leave was also up.
After leaving the Erethusa Academy, the trio returned to Vijmar City.
Kayla returned to her mansion after giving Triss a meaningful look, much to his regret that she didn't look at Wayne.
If you want to continue to play the beauty of three-person tango like in the academy, it is estimated that there will be no chance in the short term.
At night, as the two were lying on the bed embracing each other, Triss suddenly made a request to Wayne.
Well, that's right, it's Wayne who has been waiting for two years, and I don't know how many times in his heart he has thought about lifting the curse of King Forteste's daughter, the vampire demon bird.
"Wayne, you've been living in Vijmar City for nearly two years, and you should have heard about vampire birds."
Triss tucked the red hair that hung down from her ears, and looked at Wayne, with a beautiful face with a little freckles, which always gave people the feeling of wanting to bully her.
She pursed her lips, pressed her face against Wayne's chest, and said with some heaviness in her tone:
"However, this vampire bird has another identity, she is the current king of Temeria, the daughter of His Majesty Foltest, Princess Yadan, this princess has died since birth and was buried in the royal cemetery."
"No one thought that she would lie in the coffin for seven years, and then come back to life and become a cursed vampire demon bird."
"His Majesty Foltest now has neither an official wife nor a direct heir, he has a deep affection for this daughter of his own, and if anyone can lift the curse of the vampire demon bird and turn his daughter into a normal person, he will definitely be grateful to His Majesty the King and will be extremely richly rewarded."
"And this time, Kayla and I have returned to the Erethusa Academy, looked up a lot of relevant information, and have obtained a possible solution to the curse from the former headmaster, Ms. Tishaya."
Wayne certainly understood what she meant, and was willing to do something for Triss.
In fact, when he first came to Vigema, he also planned to rely on this matter to gain the king's trust and friendship and change the situation of the witchers.
However, since he awakened the blood of the ancients and was able to travel through other worlds at will, he has become a little less optimistic about these things.
The world is so big, with unlimited resources and infinite possibilities, there is no need to be confined to a little bit of small profits and be trapped in a dead end.
He reached out and gently stroked Triss's face, and said with a smile:
"Well, don't explain that much to me, dear Triss."
"Just tell me how you can help you."
"I'm sure of dealing with the vampire demon bird, of course, it won't hurt her life, although this monster is quite powerful, it can't use magic, and it's not more difficult to deal with than the deer head spirit."
Hearing Wayne say this, Triss also felt very moved, as a sorceress, being able to be so trusted by a person and get unconditional help from the other party is also a very warm thing for her.
The red-haired beauty couldn't help but come forward and offer a fragrant kiss, and the two hugged each other for another ten minutes, before Triss whispered with a flushed face:
"Kayla and I haven't figured out what to do about this matter, and we have to ask His Majesty's opinion."
"However, according to His Majesty's character, as long as we are sure of success, we should settle this matter within this month."
"My dear, as long as you don't leave Vigema City this month, just wait for our arrangements."
"When the time comes, as long as this is done, His Majesty will surely give you a rich reward."
Bite! [Lift the Curse of the Vampire Demon Bird] Master Quest, whether to take it or not.
Holding Triss's soft and delicate body, listening to her requesting words, I didn't expect the system to be very humane, and immediately gave a master-level task.
Of course, Wayne had nothing to hesitate about this kind of task, and immediately chose to take it, and at the same time smiled and said to Triss:
"Of course there is no problem, dear Triss, tomorrow I will return to my home and wait for your news, I have been away from home for more than four months, and there are some things that I need to deal with."
However, the sorceress had already tasted the sweetness of cohabitation with Wayne, she poked her head, licked Wane's chest lightly a few times, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Why are you going back, why don't you just stay with me all the time, can't the two of us live together? We can also occasionally have Kayla come to my house if you want to, and the three of us can play together. ”
"Even if you don't carry out those commissions and don't do the work of the witcher, it's not like I can't afford to support you."
"As for the money to buy books, you don't have to worry, it's a big deal, I'll just pay for you."
Faced with the soft-spoken pleading of the red-haired beauty and the temptation of the three of them to tango, Wayne almost couldn't help but agree.
It's a pity that eating soft rice is fragrant, but if two people always stay together and there is no sense of distance, when the passion fades, everything will not be as beautiful as it is now.
Besides, he is also a man with ideals, he was reborn once, gained such a talent, and had such an opportunity, how could he have been indulging in gentleness and not fighting once?
He put his finger in Triss's mouth, teased her, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, dear Triss, I'll come to your house often."
"Besides, I have my own business, and you don't want to be with a useless man."
………………
The next morning, Wayne returned to his mansion, ashamed to say that it had been almost five days since he had returned to Virgin City from Middle-earth, and he had only returned home today.
Fortunately, he didn't come back for a long time, everything went very smoothly at home, he didn't see him for four months, Belengar was not idle, he kept Wayne's home in order, in addition to insisting on training Alex every day, he also managed to reclaim a large wasteland in the backyard, built a fully functional planting greenhouse, and planted some herbs commonly used by witchers.
The stables and blacksmith shop have also been remodeled and renovated to look more formal and functional.
Alex, the little guy, is obviously also quite hardworking, with the help of nutritious food and a lot of physical exercise, he has successfully changed from the thin little beggar in the past to a relatively strong teenager, picking up the training wooden sword, and can also use a set of basic swordsmanship.
Seeing Wayne, who had been separated for four months, the two were very happy, whether it was Belengar or Alex, it was their dream to be able to live a life like now in such a luxurious big house, without having to run around.
And for Wayne, who helped them realize their dreams, both of them undoubtedly have a very grateful mentality.
After a simple greeting, life went on, and on the third day of Wayne's return to his home, when he rolled the dice as usual, he suddenly found that the lucky day in August had finally arrived.
It's time to open the treasure chest again.
There are more than 600 normal-level treasure chests and more than 20 expert-level treasure chests stored in the system.
It has been so long since Wayne came to this world, and it is the first time that so many treasure chests have been opened at once.
(Thank you for the reward from the rain goggles boss, Mo Da!) )
