Chapter 200: Long-Term Mandate and Underwater Magic Nodes
After receiving Francesca's reminder, Wayne also gave up the idea of preparing to shout, and used the cover of the outer mist to pretend to be a puppet knight in the form of obedience.
And this beautiful sorceress is indeed very capable, even if she hides her appearance with a cloak, she can still use the melodious elven language to quickly soothe the painful hearts of all the survivors of the inhuman race present.
In less than a few minutes, the dwarves and elves, who had been in fear and struggle, were encouraged by the sorceress to quickly lift their spirits and follow Francesca along a road that led to the forest outside the town.
Wayne stood silently in the middle of the severed limbs, and only after all the survivors of the inhuman race had left the center of town did he take a step and follow.
Half an hour later, all the survivors of the inhuman race, led by Francisca, disappeared into the forest.
Wayne guessed that they were all teleported to other safe places by the sorceress's portal, and as for the remaining property and property, thinking about it, for the wealthy elven sorceress, these were only minor problems.
It wasn't until there was no movement in the forest that Francesca resumed her beautiful purple-black dress and appeared in front of Wayne.
She first made a graceful and ladylike courtesy to Wayne, and then said in a sincere tone:
"Thank you, Wayne, you've done me a great favor, I'll take note of this favor, and let me know right away when you need my help."
Wayne waved his hand, then said:
"Don't say that, Madam Francisca, I think anyone with a sense of justice would do it when he sees such an evil deed."
"Besides, I'm also an elf, so doing this will also make my heart feel better."
After hearing Wayne's answer, Francesca looked at Wayne with soft eyes, suddenly noticed the blood and filth all over his body, frowned, and said softly:
"No matter what, Wayne, I'll keep this in my heart, and being able to meet such a brave fellow human as Ling is the happiest thing I've ever encountered in recent times."
"You're very dirty right now, let me use magic to clean it up for you, okay?"
Hearing this, Wayne looked at the dirty blood and internal organ fragments on his body, and couldn't help frowning, he was in the excitement of killing just now, he hadn't noticed it, and now after being reminded by the sorceress, the witcher's sensitive sense of smell was immediately choked by this fishy smell.
He nodded at Francesca, and the sorceress just moved her fingers, and a stream of clear water appeared out of thin air, wrapping around his body, as if someone had rubbed it on him, and the blood and flesh that were mixed in the cracks of the armor were quickly carried away by this stream.
It wasn't until Wayne's armor was completely new and all the dirty blood and scraps of flesh were cleaned up that Francesca took a few steps closer to Wayne, walked to his side, and after seriously looking at all the equipment on Wayne's body, he couldn't help but cover his mouth, and said with a somewhat surprised smile:
"I'm very surprised by your strength, Wayne, especially these magical equipment on your body, each of which exudes a strong magical aura, and I have never heard rumors of these equipment."
"I still remember when I met you last year, you were still quite young, it seems that you have experienced a lot of things in the past year."
Wayne looked directly into Francesca's charming eyes, a beautiful face, and said in a casual tone:
"It's true that we've had a lot of adventures and a lot of loot, but that's how life a witcher is, we're always on our way to the next battle, and we never know which battle we're going to die in."
"Danger and fighting always force us to grow quickly, because the losers are often already in the grave."
"Alright, beautiful lady, it's getting late, and if it's all right, allow me to take my leave."
"Well, wait."
Seeing that Wayne wanted to leave, Francesca immediately stopped him, and in the face of the young witcher's puzzled gaze, the sorceress showed a slightly apologetic smile and asked:
"Wayne, did Torruville mention to you that I wanted to invite you to carry out the commission?"
Wayne was stunned for a second when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that Toruvelle had indeed said this, but he wanted to deal with this matter after the beginning of the year, and when he saw the sorceress, he was a little surprised, so he forgot about it.
So, he was silent for a second or two, and then looked at Francesca and said:
"You should know our principles, ma'am, there are some tasks that we don't accept, but you can tell me what the assignment is first, and I'll answer you."
The sorceress bit her lower lip, showed a pitiful expression, and said:
"I have received information that King Hensett of Kodwin is preparing to carry out a large-scale expulsion of the inhuman race in their capital, Ban Ade, and other cities."
"However, many people know that what the wild boar wants to do is definitely not just to expel him, he is an extreme racist, maybe to encroach on the wealth of those inhuman races, or simply to satisfy his perverted desire to kill."
"Although the Warlock Brotherhood has pressured Hensett on several occasions to warn him not to allow mass slaughter."
"But this guy is a shameless bastard, and no one knows what he's going to do in the end."
When Wayne heard this, he couldn't help frowning a little, listening to the sorceress's meaning, as if he wanted him to go to the ring with the king of Kodwin, although he didn't mind doing this in his heart, and didn't even mind killing this stupid king, but the status of witchers did not allow them to openly confront a king.
So, Wayne asked in a somewhat low tone:
"So, ma'am, what task do you want to entrust me?"
As if hearing the warning in Wayne's tone, a trace of sadness flashed in Francescan's clear eyes, and he reached out to hold Wayne's right hand, which was not wearing iron gloves, and said softly:
"I want to give you a long-term commission, Wayne."
"Just like today, as long as you can save any elf from under the butcher's knife of a human being, take them to safety, and then notify me."
"You'll be rewarded with ten crowns, and of course, if you have any difficulties, you can consult with me, and I'll give you the information I know."
"Please help me, Wayne, I just want more people to live."
As Francesca's voice fell, the sound of the system rang in Wayne's ears.
Bite! Triggers the special commission [Save the Elf].
This quest is a long-term commission, and each elf saved can earn one point, and the host can end the quest at any time.
For every 10 points, you can exchange for a normal chest and 3 XP points, for every 100 points, you can exchange it for an Expert chest and 30 XP points, for every 1,000 points, you can exchange it for a Master Chest and 300 XP points, and for every 10,000 points, you can exchange it for an epic chest and 3,000 XP points.
This point can be redeemed at any time until the host ends the mission.
After listening to the introduction of this task, Wayne didn't think about it, and immediately chose to take this task, for him, the reward of this task is too rich, it's like God gave it for nothing, don't do it for nothing.
Think about it, now the elves in the entire northern countries add up to about tens of thousands, maybe they can barely get together 100,000, if he can exchange all these people for points, it is equivalent to completing ten epic tasks, 30,000 points of experience, enough for him to get a lot of artifacts, and upgrade to more than ten levels.
It's a pity that the task given by the system is not to kill those wicked people who slaughter the inhuman race, but to save people in a more troublesome way, otherwise, maybe he will turn into a Shura demon and kill tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands.
And what surprised him a little was whether this beautiful elven warlock chick was too generous, not to mention rescuing 100,000 elves, even if he rescued 10,000 elves, it would need to pay him 100,000 crowns, which was not a small amount, and the kings of some small countries did not have so much money.
However, it is also possible that Francesca did not understand his ability, or did not have enough expectations, thinking that he could save a few hundred people at most.
It seems that we have to teach this elf chick a good lesson, let him know how powerful Master Wayne is, and let her pay it with her body after she owes money.
After taking the task, Wayne pretended to ponder for more than ten seconds, and then, with a reluctant expression, nodded, and said to Francesca:
"Madam Francesca, I can accept this commission, but I will only do it secretly, without revealing my current identity, and I don't want any bad news to leak out of you."
"Otherwise, we will no longer be friends, and may even become enemies."
Facing the threat in Wayne's tone, Francesca didn't mind at all, but smiled and showed a beautiful smile, and said:
"Great, Wayne, thank you for helping me, keep that communicator in your hand, I'll make a magic device that can communicate longer distances as soon as possible, and then we can communicate with each other and do this better."
"And don't worry, I can see that you care a lot about the identity of the witcher, in the future, I will help you gather some information that will be helpful to the witcher, and if you need the help of a warlock, you can also ask me for help."
………………
At the end of the commission, Wayne was rewarded with thirty-five XP points and an Expert Chest.
But the real harvest is not these, not to mention that the real and elven sorceress Francesca have a little mutual secret, deepen mutual trust, and reach a deeper cooperation.
Just that special task that has been commissioned for a long time can already make Wayne very excited.
Moreover, after leaving Kyle Mohan, he will have to try to obtain these points, whether he must personally save people, or use various other methods to save people.
If it is the latter, then the difficulty of this task will be greatly reduced, and it can even become his scoring task, allowing him to quickly improve his level and strength.
Thinking like this, after separating from Francesca, Wayne did not forget the purpose of his trip, but continued to drive the magic flying carpet towards the location of the magic node in the coordinates, and flew over.
Fortunately, there were no accidents on the way, and after about two hours of flight, Wayne followed the instructions on the map and came to a valley twenty kilometers outside of Ban Ard.
When he arrived at the actual location, he found that the location of this magic node was actually located in a waterhole under a waterfall.
If it weren't for this map, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for anyone to find this place, just like the spatial rift in the bear cave in the first place.
These magic nodes and fissures in the corners of the horns, I really don't know who discovered them in the first place.
After discovering the target, Wayne did not delay any longer, and went directly to the shore under the waterfall, took off his clothes, and put the armor and other items on his body into the space bracelet in his hand.
With the Helkna amulet, he was able to dive for long periods of time, and his speed in the water was enhanced.
It only took a few minutes to dive to the bottom of the waterhole below the waterfall and find the magic node at the bottom of the pool.
And what surprised him a little was that perhaps because of the abundant chaos magic near the magic node, there was actually a group of water ghosts living under the waterhole, and when they found Wayne's delicious prey, they were like students in the school who had arrived for dinner, and they swarmed around them.
Fortunately, Wayne's strength has long since changed, even in the water, his Yaksi Fa Seal is not limited.
With his current ability, it is not a problem to control three or four water ghosts at the same time, plus the ability to take out the crossbow from the spatial bracelet at any time, quickly solves the troubles of this group of underwater.
When he solved the group of water ghosts and successfully approached the magic node that shimmered with blue light, the sound of the system came to his ears as he wished.
Bite! Have you touched the mana node, do you want to absorb it?
After hearing this, Wayne only hesitated briefly for a second or two before choosing the option to agree.
As his choice fell, with the help of the system's mighty power, the huge magic power of this magic node type, as if it had been absorbed by some black hole, quickly merged into Wayne's body at a speed unimaginable even for spellcasters, to be precise, by something unknown in his body.
In less than two minutes, the magic node, which was still flickering with faint fluorescence, cracked open a gap visible to the naked eye, and all the magic power that maintained this node was absorbed, and a trace of energy from another world slowly penetrated from the crack between the two worlds.
And perhaps because of the skill expertise of lighting up the magic transformation, which can absorb the energy of the other world, Wayne has a more acute and clear sense of the energy of the other world.
He could actually feel from this crack that the power coming from the opposite world had a faint sense of familiarity.
Bite! The mana node has been absorbed, and 3 ability points have been obtained, and the remaining ability points are currently 4.
Without paying attention to the prompt sound of the system, Wayne calmed down, abandoned the superfluous senses, and put all his energy into the magic induction, carefully experiencing the magic coming from the crack on the opposite side.
Well, the breath of evil is stronger than the breath of light, with the smell of death, brimstone, and curse and depravity.
It seems that the opposite side is a world that is not very peaceful, the forces of evil have overwhelmed justice, and the world on the other side is in the midst of disaster.
After a few minutes, Wayne opened his eyes and thoughtfully pulled out a mana potion from the space bracelet, which he had drawn from the ordinary treasure chest, from Diablo, and there were still four bottles left.
He closed his eyes, poured the mana potion into his mouth, and savored it.
There was also some smell of death, brimstone, depravity, and curse, very similar to the aura coming from this rift in space.
This makes Wayne eighty or ninety percent sure, the world opposite this crack should be the world of Diablo, but what I don't know is that the world on the other side has developed to what point in the plot? And where does this spatial rift connect?
But this time, he didn't have the courage to go straight into the apocalyptic world like he had done in Middle-earth and Azeroth.
Moreover, after thinking about it for a while, he simply didn't plan to seal this crack with the spatial crack sealing ceremony that he was not very mature yet.
Anyway, this crack is very small, it can be said to be insignificant, even if the demon god on the opposite side discovers this crack and wants to tear this crack to the extent that they can enter, it will not be possible to do it in a few years.
And according to Wayne's understanding, things like demon gods seem to be very powerful, but their restrictions are also extremely strict, and when they are born in the native plane, they may have boundless mana and do whatever they want.
But if you want to enter other worlds and enter other planes, you will be strongly suppressed by the plane itself, and you will lose the support of your native plane and lose most of your power.
This is also one of the main reasons why many demon gods are eliminated by warriors after leaving their plane.
