Chapter 173: A mercenary who can't help himself
After leaving the palace, Wayne went to the blacksmith shop of the dwarven master O'Henry, to check that what he wanted was ready.
It was a huge steel cage made of dozens of iron rods thicker than an arm, weighing several tons, so it trapped most of the monsters.
In the Middle Ages, where there was no welding technology, only large blacksmith shops like O'Henry had enough manpower, technology and materials to complete the work.
And while he was checking the progress of this steel cage, Master O'Henry also told him good news.
The new armor made by using the dragon scales of the Skyrim Province and the green dragon skin of the wizarding world has been largely completed and has entered the final stage.
Because Wayne provided enough materials, Master O'Henry made a total of two sets of armor.
One set is a heavy leather armor made of green dragon leather as the main body, and some key positions are made of metal and dragon scales, with medium defense, comparable to most chain mail, but it is light and flexible, and the overall weight is only five kilograms, which belongs to the level of light armor and is suitable for flexible combat.
The other set is made of hard dragon scales and various rare metal materials, similar to plate armor composite armor, the defense is amazing, more than the ordinary knight iron can, but the same weight, it also weighs more than 20 kilograms, because of the special structure of the plate armor, it will be slightly hindered when moving.
However, these problems are nothing to Wayne, his physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and he is also the pinnacle of stability among all demon hunters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that humanoid monsters are not an exaggeration.
These two sets of armor, one set of armor for daily combat and one for protective armor in large-scale battles, just enough to cope with different situations, make Wayne quite satisfied.
He spent two or three hours in the blacksmith shop, used the GWENT card to harvest a wave of experience and a lot of rare materials from the dwarven masters, and used the humble kitchen in the blacksmith shop to cook a delicious lunch, good wine and food, and a greeting, and maintained everyone's friendship.
By the time Wayne had taken a sip of wine and left the blacksmith's shop, the keen witcher senses immediately noticed that someone was following him, and there were quite a few of them.
This discovery immediately sobered him up, and at the same time his heart moved, which surprised him a little.
Although he predicted that the person who cursed Princess Yada would come to hinder his actions, he didn't expect that this guy was so bold and reckless, and he had already acted in less than a few hours after leaving the palace, and he didn't even take him and King Fortest seriously, and he didn't know whether to say that he was brave or stupid.
Well, in order to meet the king, he went out today wearing a decent and handsome silk robe, and he didn't even bring a weapon, maybe this kind of dress gave others hope that they could defeat him.
It's a pity that these poor guys don't know that his swordsmanship can only rank second in his comprehensive strength, and he who can cast the magic seal at will is the strongest.
Wayne pretended not to notice that someone was following him, and left the old city of Virgin directly, when he crossed the wooden bridge between the old city and the new city, and came to a sparsely populated open space outside the new city, sure enough, he felt that a group of about a dozen guys surrounded him from several directions and blocked him in this clearing.
Wayne looked around at the people surrounding him and couldn't help but frown.
These guys are not the ruffians in the city, each of them has a fierce temperament, wears a variety of armor, and also holds a variety of different weapons in their hands, and even two people have light crossbows in their hands, most likely mercenaries who make a living from war.
Their faces were full of ill intentions, and when they approached Wayne, the first strong, iron-armoured, bald-headed man with a scarred face smiled and said:
"Little white face, someone paid us to beat you to a cripple and take money to do things, don't blame us."
Wayne glanced up at him, without any fear on his face, but said calmly:
"Can you tell me who commissioned it? Have you seen him in person? ”
The bald and scar-faced strong man was slightly surprised when he saw Wayne's fearless appearance, but considering that the other party had neither weapons nor armor on his body, it was impossible for him to turn over in the face of the siege of more than a dozen people, so he said:
"It's impossible for us to tell who gave the commission, it's our work ethic, and we don't know who it is, we just take the money to do things."
"You'd better not resist, lest you get the time to attack and beat you to death, and it's no wonder that we can't blame us."
Hearing this, Wayne sighed, mobilized the chaos magic power in his body and began to gather in his hands, looked at the scar-faced strong man, and finally persuaded him.
"Since you don't know anything, it's no good to keep you."
"If you surrender now, you can still save your life, and when the fight starts later, I won't stop."
The scar-faced strong man was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at his dozen or so heavily armed subordinates, couldn't help laughing, and said:
"Let's surrender? Are you stupid? Or are you playing tricks? Forget it, I thought it was a character, but I didn't expect it to be a fool, brothers, to beat him up. ”
After hearing the boss's order, those mercenaries did not relent, and immediately rushed towards Wayne with laughter, their purpose was to cripple Wayne, so the mercenaries with crossbows in the distance did not move, but raised their crossbow arrows, and pointed at Wayne, full of threats.
Seeing that they were stubborn, Wayne no longer kept his hand, and his right hand, which was full of chaos magic, instantly drew a magic pattern of the Alpha Law Seal, and then slammed down on the ground.
Boom!
Accompanied by an invisible circular wave of air, there was a boom, and within a range of nearly ten meters, the grass clippings, stones, and soil on the ground flew outward, and the mercenaries who rushed towards him seemed to have been hit by an invisible rhinoceros at high speed, not being pushed out, but all of them spit blood and flew out, directly knocking the other people behind them like rolling melon gourds, and they all fell down.
Awakened the blood of the ancients, coupled with the assistance of various skills and equipment, the strength of his magic seal at this time far exceeded the standard of ordinary demon hunters, even if it was the impact damage of the Alpha Law Seal, it could directly shake the five internal organs of ordinary people, vomiting blood.
The scar-faced strong man in the lead was far away, and although he was also shocked to the ground by the power of the Alpha Seal, after falling to the ground, he immediately struggled and shouted:
"It's a wizard, he's a wizard!"
"Crossbowman, shoot him!"
It's a pity, as the two enemies that Wayne focuses on, how could he give them a chance to attack, before the bald and scar-faced mercenary shouted, one of the two mercenaries armed with a cross crossbow had already been controlled by Wayne's Yaksi Fayin, and in the surprised and shocked eyes of the other crossbowman, he directly pulled the trigger and shot an arrow through the throat of his companion.
Wayne had already taken advantage of this time to rush in front of the controlled crossbowman at great speed, and before he could release Yaksi's control, he punched him in the throat, shattering his throat bone, leaving him to hold his neck and suffocate in pain.
In almost a dozen seconds, these mercenaries surrounding Wayne had already been beaten by his powerful mana, and they were crushed, and there was hardly anyone who could resist head-on.
However, after the bald and scar-faced man who had seen blood on the battlefield, the bald man who was the first to be struck down, got up from the ground, took up his shield and one-handed sword, roared at Wayne, and then said loudly to his companions:
"Brothers, don't be afraid, he is only one person, come with me, wizards are also mortal in the flesh, as long as you cut a knife, it will be our victory."
With that, he raised the round shield in his hand, covering the lower half of his face and chest, and with a few other mercenaries who had been inspired by him, he crossed the wounded companion on the ground and rushed towards Wayne with all his might.
It's a pity that for these mercenaries who have only fought with ordinary people, they can't imagine what kind of destructive power a demon hunter with the blood of the ancients and full firepower has.
Wayne sighed slightly in his heart, looked at the six mercenaries who didn't know whether to live or die and rushed towards him, raised his right hand, which had already accumulated a large amount of chaos magic power, and a charged version of the Ignyi Fa Seal shot out.
In an instant, the huge heat like a volcanic eruption, accompanied by orange-red flames within a range of more than ten meters, instantly enveloped the six mercenaries who rushed over.
The mercenaries who rushed over only had time to let out a painful wail, but they were scorched by the hot flames that enveloped their bodies, and they fell to the ground and rolled and struggled a few times, and soon lost their lives.
Faced with this tragic scene like a dragon's breath, the mercenaries who were still lying on the ground wailing because they were injured were all frightened, they covered their mouths, trembled, and looked at Wayne with frightened eyes, as if they were looking at a devil, and even a few of them were scared to pee their pants.
Wayne didn't have any pity in his heart for these knife-licking blood, not so much mercenaries as robbers, he glanced at the survivors on the ground with indifferent eyes, and did not kill these poor creatures again.
After all, in the real world, killing doesn't provide experience points or any benefits, so it's good to keep a few people to help collect the corpses of your companions.
He shook off his right hand, which had been a little burned from Ignier's hot flames, and turned and walked towards the location of a forest a hundred meters away, where in his witcher senses, there was a person secretly observing.
When he saw Wayne's victory, or the slaughter, the guy let out an exclamation, and now he had begun to flee desperately in the opposite direction.
Don't think about it, this guy is most likely the one who hired these mercenaries to block him, and he is also the one who cursed and poisoned Princess Yada.
According to Wayne's memory, it seems to be a chubby palace minister, and the specific name is no longer clear, but if he is caught, he will definitely be able to recognize him.
Wayne's speed was very fast, and in less than half a minute, he had already seen the figure that was fat and dressed in gorgeous clothes, and was fleeing in the direction of the Vijma City Gate.
