Chapter 283: Lani, who likes to read
When Wayne joined the fray, the tide was quickly reversed.
In addition to Kalkistan who survived, the mercenaries who followed him probably survived seven people.
In fact, the dozens of mercenaries who protected Kalkestan were not bad in strength and well-equipped, so the reason why they suffered heavy losses under the siege of these fallen archers.
A large part of the reason is that Kalkstein is a scholar-type warlock, focusing on theory and lacking practical experience, and does not exert the strength of a warlock in real battles, but because after his own members are killed, he panics and loses his proportions.
The mercenaries were because ordinary horses were afraid of the fog and could not enter it.
This, combined with their own supply problems and overly heavy armor weapons, left them with a lack of long-range attack and crushed in speed.
will be eaten away by those degenerate archers by flying kites, little by little, and basically can only be beaten passively, with no means to fight back.
After all, the fallen archers in reality are not the low-intelligence monsters in the game, they are just corrupted by the forces of hell and their minds have been affected, but their own strength is stronger than before the fall.
When the enemy retreated, both Kalkestan and the remaining mercenaries were all paralyzed on the ground as if they had survived, gasping for air.
Obviously, the battle just now, both physically and mentally, had caused them to be seriously consumed, and they were already exhausted and collapsed.
Seeing this, Wayne didn't pay attention to the mercenaries, but walked to the middle-aged warlock, and then stretched out his hand to him and said:
"I saved your life, Mr. Kalkstein, but it's not free."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will let you pay it back."
Facing Wayne's outstretched arm, Kalkstein hesitated for a moment, carefully looking at his appearance, but still reached out and took the arm, allowing Wayne to pull him up.
After standing up, the middle-aged warlock first tidied up his appearance and made himself look less embarrassed before he said politely:
"Oh! Oh, of course. ”
"Where have we met? Sir, you are a mighty archer, please tell me your name, and when you leave here, I will pay you what is due. ”
Wayne stared at him for a few seconds when he heard this, and then said in a light tone:
"You can call me Mr. Wayne."
"I'm not short of money, and I'm not interested in money!"
"I'm teaming up with Kayla right now, sometimes I'm staying in Vijma City, so if you're going to meet Kayla, follow me."
After saying that, he also ignored Kalkstein and turned around and walked towards the location of Reso and the others.
Now the two sides are basically strangers, and it is not suitable to show too much affection, and in this fog, the teleportation spell will be affected, and Kalkstein and the others can only find a way to escape from the fog by themselves except to follow him.
When Wayne walked forward more than ten meters, Karkstein really followed, and even the few remaining mercenaries did not dare to clean up the corpses of their companions, and supported each other and followed behind the middle-aged warlock.
Wayne glanced back at him, and with an embarrassed smile on his face, he said:
"Mr. Wayne, Ms. Kayla and I are friends who know each other, and since we have met, it is better to go and say hello."
Of course, Wayne knew very well that this was an excuse, but he didn't debunk it, and just led them to his resting place.
Kayla and the others were a little surprised to see Wayne bring back another group of people, but when the two sorceresses saw that it was Kalkstein in the lead, they looked at each other and didn't say anything more about it.
Because both of them knew very well that Kalkstein was more of a pure researcher than other ambitious young warlocks, and that he was a professor at the Ban Aad Academy for male warlocks, and that he himself had a fairly high status among warlocks.
Now that he has come back with Wayne in such a down-and-out manner, there is a high probability that he will no longer have any thoughts about the reserve members of the Supreme Council.
After the two sides met, there was a simple greeting, and then Kalkstein told Kayla and the others about what happened to him, and the result was very surprising.
It turned out that he joined the competition this time, and he was actually the assistant of another male warlock, and the two of them had recruited a total of about 100 mercenaries in Caldwin.
And they set off about three days earlier than Kayla and the others, and this was already their fifth day into the fog.
Originally, it was quite smooth some time ago, although there were a lot of zombies and sunken demons on the road, but with the cooperation of the two warlocks, although the mercenaries were killed and wounded, they still survived those battles safely and smoothly.
Unexpectedly, just this morning, they were actually ambushed by a group of monsters, and the other party was not undead, but like the fallen archers who pursued them, some living people who had been changed by the power of hell and reduced to monsters.
Many were former inhabitants of the Kingdom of Kodwin, captives who had not had time to escape when the fog spread, and were captured alive.
After these captives were captured, they seemed to have undergone some kind of special ritual, and then all of them took refuge in the enemy and became the opponent's minions.
It was because Kalkstan's companions became the target of the other party and became entangled with most of the other party's monsters that Kalkstein and some of his mercenaries had time to escape.
Otherwise, he might have been killed or captured, just like the other warlock.
Both Kayla and Margarita were very surprised to get such an answer.
Before they entered the mist, they thought that they were dealing with some monsters without intelligence, but they didn't expect to deal with those fallen humans now, these two enemies are fundamentally different things.
The former will only attack recklessly, and it is enough to kill and kill, while the latter will use all kinds of conspiracies, ambushes, deception, etc., and if you are not careful, you will be conspired against and have to be guarded against.
Seeing that the warlocks present had very solemn expressions, as if they were very worried about the current situation, Wayne shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:
"What's next, Kayla?"
"Whether you choose to move forward or retreat, I support you."
As soon as Wayne's words fell, before Kayla could reply, Karkstein persuaded with a worried expression:
"I think we should retreat, Ms. Kayla."
"My companions and I numbered more than a hundred, but we were all defeated by the fallen humans."
"Although their number is a little smaller than ours, after being transformed by the magic power of another world, they have surpassed ordinary people in terms of combat effectiveness, and they are not afraid of death or fear."
"And now that we have less than twenty people here, I don't think we have much chance of winning."
"Of course, Mr. Wayne, it's not that I don't have confidence in your strength, I just don't think we need to take this risk."
Speaking of which, Karkstein smiled at Wayne, Resso, and the others.
After the greetings just now, he already knew that these four warriors who seemed to be quite elite were all demon hunters, although there were only four of them, but the strength they showed was even stronger than the more than a hundred mercenaries they recruited.
After listening to Karkstein's words, Kayla's palm-sized face furrowed, and she first glanced at Margarita.
Seeing that the headmistress's expression was a little absent-minded, her gaze always wandered on Wayne's strong muscles and handsome face.
Kayla didn't even have to guess, she knew at once what the lady was thinking.
After so many years of friendship with Margarita, Kayla is well aware of the headmistress's style.
This lady has a figure and great strength that all women envy, but she has a strange hobby, which is very obsessed with dating handsome and strong men.
In the last hundred years, she has changed more than a dozen boyfriends, and every time she breaks up, she cries, just like a young girl.
Her last boyfriend broke up three years ago, and now Margarita is back to being single, and it is estimated that she has long been hungry and thirsty.
After a night of madness at her house the other day, Margarita had been caught up in her own fantasies from time to time, and her attention was not very concentrated, apparently fascinated by Wayne, who was both strong and handsome.
However, Kayla did not mind this, the chaotic private life was normal for the sorceress, and the long life and abundant desire and energy made these ladies who were generally in high positions always want to seek excitement in their hearts.
She didn't mind enjoying Wayne's muscular body with Triss, and certainly not much with Margarita, which in Kayla's opinion was a sign of intimacy.
Such thoughts only flashed through Kayla's mind, and she quickly forgot about them.
But since Margarita didn't have any ideas, and Wayne supported his opinion, Kayla's mind struggled for a while, she bit her lower lip and said to Wayne:
"Wayne, since I participated in this bounty competition, I am ready for danger."
"If I choose to give up, then I will lose such a rare opportunity."
"I don't want to give up so easily."
Wayne nodded when he heard this, and said in a flat tone:
"Then keep moving, it's just some depraved humans."
"They aren't much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and if they're careful, they won't affect us."
"Maybe we'll be able to catch a few alive mouths and get the inside word out of the enemy."
With Wayne making a decision, Rayso and the others had no opinion, and they each arranged the task of keeping vigil and hurried to rest.
As for Kalkstein and several of his mercenaries, after their persuasion failed, they saw that Wayne and the others had made up their minds and wanted to move on.
There was no way, and they didn't dare to leave alone, so they could only choose to act with Kayla and her group.
However, for the sake of safety, Kayla signed a mutual aid pact with them, stipulating each other's responsibilities and the subsequent division of the spoils.
………………
After nightfall, most of the people went to sleep, and the daytime battle made everyone tired, and even the two sorceresses were not in the mood to have another exercise with Wayne, and they all went to bed early.
As the strongest existence, Wayne took the initiative to take on the task of keeping watch at night, so that the other three members of the same witcher also went back to rest, recuperate, and prepare for the next battle.
In the dead of night, the witch Lani, who had been urging him from day to day, and wanted to talk to him, finally had a chance to show up, and sat opposite Wayne, sitting on a railing opposite his fire, quietly watching him.
The sapphire-like eyes are still so charming.
"What's the matter, Lani, look at what I'm doing, if there's anything to do, just say something."
Before the meeting, it was a delicate doll who just sat quietly and did not speak, Wayne showed a smile on his face and said gently.
Although the power of this demigod from another world has definitely weakened a lot, and he may even be just an empty shell, no matter what, the person's personality is there, and he may be able to become his thigh or even his wife in the future, and he must be served well.
The puppet of the witch Lani blinked her eyes, and said in a tone that did not fluctuate:
"I've finished reading the book you gave me."
"I need new books, preferably about your spellcasters."
Wayne was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly sighed with emotion, Lani's speed of reading books is really fast, more than sixty books add up to almost twenty or thirty pounds, and she finished reading them in less than three days.
And Elani's character is definitely not a reading of ten lines at a glance, it can only be said that he is worthy of being a son of God, in addition to being talented from ordinary people, even patience and heart are much stronger than ordinary people.
But now, her request made Wayne a little difficult, in the Middle Ages, books were extremely expensive, let alone books that recorded magical knowledge.
He had spent tens of thousands of gold coins and sacrificed hue to buy thousands of books from the Erethusa Academy, and those books were now stored in Kylemohan, and even if he wanted to find them for Lani to read, it would not be possible to do it in a day or two.
Seeing Lani's doll, she was always sitting on the railing, her expression was not shocked, and her jewel-like eyes just looked at him quietly and did not speak again.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Wayne took out the Kael'thas magic book from his storage bag.
The book has been with him for almost a year, but Wayne is not a particularly hardworking person, and spends more time every day enjoying life, enjoying beautiful women and all kinds of good food and wine, and spending most of his nine months in Middle-earth, and even his riding skills have improved several levels.
It was indeed a bit of a waste to have this extremely precious magic book by his side.
Although Wayne was a little reluctant in his heart, he still handed the book to Lani, and then said:
"This is an extremely precious treasure, a magic book given to me by the Great Being."
"I can include all the books in the world without limits, not only my world, but also the several worlds I have been to, and I have included all kinds of books in it."
After listening to Wayne's introduction, Lani's eyes seemed to light up slightly, she turned the puppet's head, and looked at the gorgeous magic book inlaid with gems and various magic inscriptions that Wayne took out, her expression was still Gu Bo was not shocked, and her voice did not fluctuate and said:
"Are you going to dedicate this book to me, Wayne?"
Dedicated to you, want to be beautiful?
Wayne complained in his heart, but still maintained a gentle smile on his face, and said:
"Of course not, this knowledge is the result of years of collection, and it is an extremely precious treasure."
"But I can lend you this book so that you can learn what it contains."
"But you have to promise me one condition?"
Hearing Wayne's condition again, Lani frowned slightly, but still nodded and said:
"You tell your terms first, and if you can get my approval, I can promise you."
It seems that Lani really wants this book, and is very eager to learn what it says.
Wayne chuckled in his heart, and then said:
"Actually, my condition is very simple, that is, after you learn the magic of various worlds from books, you have to teach me all of them, so that I can also master this kind of magic."
"I have the talent to manipulate the magic of all kinds of worlds."
"Be able to slowly adapt to the energy of all worlds, as long as you can understand the magical knowledge of the Xiangyin world."
"I'll be able to do all kinds of worldly magic."
After listening to Wayne's words, a look of surprise appeared on Lani's face, she calmly looked into Wayne's eyes, and looked at the witcher for more than ten seconds before saying:
"Do you want me to be your magic teacher, Wayne?"
When Wayne heard this, after thinking about it, he said:
"No, not a teacher, you can consider me your friend on the road to the future."
"My talent is destined for me to go a long way, and you need a friend like that, don't you?"
