Chapter 102

"Ah, so it's that commission. I seem to have heard of it too."

After listening to the discussion between Keira and Wayne, Triss touched her slightly full lower abdomen, yawned quite playfully, and said with a smile: "Keira, I happen to be on vacation tomorrow. If someone can treat me to another sumptuous dinner tomorrow night, I might consider going to execute this commission with her."

The reason for this proposal was not that Triss was a "goody-two-shoes," but as a royal advisor, there were few opportunities for them to solve problems personally.

Sorceresses possessed powerful strength but didn't have many opportunities to use it. Whether from the perspective of combat experience, social sophistication, or personal experience, it was a waste.

Keira was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this, reached out to hold Triss's hand, leaned forward and leaned intimately with her, and said happily:

"Great, Triss. I can just take this opportunity to ask you for combat experience."

"You are known as the genius sorceress of Maribor and must have extraordinary techniques."

As they talked, the two began to discuss magic techniques again.

Triss and Keira both came from wealthy backgrounds, received a good education from childhood, and lived a wealthy life comparable to nobles. Even after becoming sorceresses, they did not lower the quality of their lives because of this.

This also prevented them from being cynical and full of ambition like some sorceresses who suffered from childhood.

Compared to several other famous sorceresses, the two of them could probably be considered quite kind.

Wayne watched all this from the side, feeling emotional in his heart. The relationship between Triss and Keira had always been good. He remembered that in the game plot, if Keira was executed in public, only Triss would risk taking Keira's body away and burying her properly.

Perhaps it was this royal advisor job that cultivated the deep friendship between these two sorceresses.

The two chatted for a long time. Wayne sat on the side listening, but couldn't understand, feeling quite bored, so he took out Gwent cards, found Maisie, who was also waiting on the side, and forcibly taught the girl to play Gwent.

Unexpectedly, this little maid, who was usually clumsy and quite shy, had quite a talent for playing Gwent. They only practiced a few rounds, and she played quite well.

But unfortunately, she was facing Master Wayne. Even though Wayne tried his best to be lenient, he still won two orens and a few points of experience from the little maid.

Just like that, the four of them stayed in the living room until nightfall, and Triss also chose to stay at Keira's house because they were going to the quarry to execute the commission together tomorrow.

But it had to be said that the personalities of sorceresses were indeed very open. Even if there were guests staying at home, Keira didn't cover up at all and pulled Wayne into her bedroom, completely ignoring Triss's playful eyes. This kind of assertiveness made Wayne a little bit embarrassed.

However, embarrassment was embarrassment. Having a beauty in his arms was much more refreshing than being unable to sleep alone.

After the two fought fiercely until midnight, Keira couldn't hold on and begged for mercy, calling the little maid Maisie to help.

Perhaps because there were guests, Maisie was especially shy that night, which added a lot of fun to the game of the three.

By the next day, under Triss's somewhat strange eyes, Wayne and the two sorceresses rode their horses directly out of Wyzima and headed to Baron Kolber's quarry outside the city.

This large quarry was located near a small village, with an area of nearly 500 acres, all of which were high-quality stone materials, and collection was quite convenient.

It was the hereditary fief of Baron Kolber's family. By the time it reached his hands, it had been passed down to the ninth generation and was almost one of the most important sources of income for this Baron's family.

Seeing Keira and Triss, the fat Baron was quite excited. In his view, with two royal advisors taking action, the monsters in the quarry were just a small matter that could be easily handled.

As for Wayne, who followed behind the two sorceresses, Baron Kolber indicated that a small mercenary or guard was not worth paying attention to. He didn't recognize Wayne's witcher identity at all, and didn't even take the initiative to say a word to Wayne, using all his energy to please the two sorceresses. Regarding this, Wayne didn't care, but let Keira and Triss wait outside the quarry for the time being, and he would go in to investigate the intelligence before discussing how to solve the commission.

Ten minutes later, under the guidance of a miner leader, Wayne soon arrived at the location where the monsters appeared. It was a mine pit deep underground, which had formed a funnel-shaped huge deep pit after unknown years of excavation.

At this time, three days had passed since the soldiers came to explore, but Wayne still clearly saw the black blood stains that had dried and coagulated on the ground, as well as the corpses that had been chopped into countless pieces by unknown sharp weapons.

And because these corpses and blood stains were exposed to the sun without any cover, a large number of flies were already dancing around here, and the nauseating stench was also permeating the air.

Such a scene made Wayne frown. In this world, as long as there were smelly corpses, it would attract carrion-eating creatures.

These monsters were like rats that could dig holes. As long as they smelled the fishy stench of flesh and blood, they would try every means to reach the crime scene and devour those corpses.

Sure enough, before he went deep into the cave, he heard some beast-like panting and the sound of chewing flesh and bones.

Wayne looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw two ghouls, comparable in size to gorillas and covered in pustules and peeling skin, lying on two corpses, eating forgetfully and very happily, without noticing his arrival at all.

Seeing this scene, Wayne didn't rush to take action, but restrained his breath, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and after ensuring that the two ghouls before him were all the enemies nearby, he slowly drew a pale blue short sword wrapped in a wooden handle and emitting a faint fluorescence.

This was the Statikk Shiv, a powerful weapon he had just obtained. It not only possessed physical damage but could also trigger lightning damage, hurting monsters like wraiths. He just happened to take advantage of this commission to test the power of this weapon.

He first applied a layer of Quen shield to himself, then carefully touched the rear of the ghouls, endured the nauseating stench emanating from the corpses and monsters, gripped the short sword tightly, kicked the ground with both feet, and rushed forward at high speed, slashing fiercely at the monster's heart.

The intelligence of monsters like ghouls was quite limited. They were attracted by the delicious food in front of them, and by the time they noticed Wayne approaching, it was already too late.

As a treasure-level weapon, the Statikk Shiv was far sharper than an ordinary short sword.

When Wayne swung the short sword and slashed into the back of the first ghoul, he didn't even feel much resistance before he directly broke several of its bones and the spine supporting its body, cutting a huge gap in the ghoul's back.

The wound was so large that one could even see the internal organs in front of the ghoul's chest through this gap.

The huge damage gave this ghoul no chance to react. It only had time to let out a wail before losing its ability to move due to this injury comparable to being cut in half at the waist.

Hearing the wail of its companion, the other ghoul finally reacted. However, as a monster, it didn't choose to flee, but jumped directly over the corpse and pounced on Wayne, who was half a meter away.

But at this time, Wayne was well prepared. He gripped the short sword directly, aimed at the direction the ghoul pounced, and slashed horizontally with force.

Under the stimulation of his magic, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm was triggered from his blade, instantly hitting the ghoul that pounced over at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The high-temperature current instantly crushed the ghoul's offensive, making its body stiff and losing its ability to control its body.

This ghoul was like a frozen meatball, carrying the burnt smell of flesh and blood, falling straight to the ground, and then was easily decapitated by Wayne with the short sword.
