Chapter 104

~7 min read 1,339 words

Early the next morning, when Wayne left Keira's mansion, he had about 1,000 more gold coins on him, including the mission remuneration and the share of the spoils.

Besides that, to reward him for his efforts over the past few days, Keira also gave him a small gift.

That was the camouflage glasses he had mentioned before. As long as he wore these glasses, his eyes could be disguised as the dark blue eyes of ordinary people. If necessary, he could also disguise his elven pointed ears as ordinary human ears.

This kind of camouflage was quite simple. Whether the glasses were destroyed or affected by dimeritium, the camouflage effect would be invalidated.

However, in any case, this was a quite practical little prop. If Wayne needed it, he could use it to disguise himself as an ordinary human without having to maintain the witcher identity, being suspected by others, and reducing unnecessary trouble.

He prepared to try it himself first. If the effect was very good, he could also find Keira to make a few more and give them as gifts to his witcher companions.

When he returned home, he was the only one in the large villa, which instantly made Wayne feel that he had become leisurely.

However, soon, he thought that he still had things to do, so he quickly came to the room, closed the door, took a hot bath, changed into loose and comfortable clothes, lit incense, and sat back on the bed.

After a pious prayer, taking advantage of the last day of the Lady of the Lake's blessing on him, he entered the "opening the chest" session again.

Except for an Expert-level treasure chest left over from the dragon-hunting mission and an Expert-level treasure chest obtained from this mission, his system also stored more than a dozen ordinary-level treasure chests obtained at ordinary times.

Ding! Treasure chest opened, Expert-level treasure chest *2, Ordinary-level treasure chest *13.

Obtained: 352 orens, Dragon Scale *100, Blood Vial of the Church Hunter.

With the sound of the system, two kinds of items immediately appeared beside Wayne.

One was a gray-red shell-like scale the size of a child's fist, neatly stacked together. It should have been collected from some kind of beast just now. At the root of these scales, there were even bloodstains that hadn't dried.

The other was a brown glass jar with a capacity of about one liter, filled with unknown blood that was bright red and thick. Outside the glass jar, there was also a piece of text written in a special language, but Wayne didn't recognize the specific content.

Looking at these two things, Wayne suddenly felt a headache and didn't get the joy of obtaining item rewards. The former dragon scale was a rare item opened from an Expert-level treasure chest, while the latter blood vial was opened from an Ordinary-level treasure chest.

Dragon Scale: A scale from the abdomen of a dragon just killed by someone in Skyrim. This is an excellent material that balances sturdiness and flexibility, with moderate weight, suitable for making various light and medium armors.

Blood Vial of the Church Hunter: A blood vial from a deceased Healing Church hunter in Yharnam. This is a special blood. After drinking it, it can slowly heal many injuries and various diseases. However, this blood contains unknown substances, which will cause unpredictable effects.

Looking at the item description given by the system, he hadn't noticed it before, but now after reading it carefully, Wayne knew that all the rewards he obtained were forcibly taken from other worlds by the system, or could be said to be stolen.

Whether it was the blood vial or the dragon scale, they had original owners. Although the former's owner had died, the latter, looking at the dragon scale that looked like it had just been collected from a corpse, actually made Wayne feel a faint sense of guilt.

When some guy who had just killed a dragon and collected the spoils discovered that his spoils had suddenly become less, he would definitely be quite disappointed.

However, soon, he put this sense of guilt into his heart. Hey, there was no way, this wasn't something he could decide. Just like the space rift at the beginning, if he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't have sucked it dry at once, causing a potential hidden danger, but the system didn't give him a choice.

Either do nothing, or just accept the result.

In order to be able to become stronger and enhance his self-protection ability, he just made a decision that most people would choose. After settling his mood, Wayne put the bundle of dragon scales into a box for storage. This was an excellent top-level armor-making material. It was a pity that he didn't have excellent armor blueprints in his hands now, so he could only wait until he had a chance to take them out for use later.

As for that blood vial, anyone who had played the game knew that what was inside was diluted Old God blood, a very weird blood.

Although it could indeed heal many terminal illnesses, if an ordinary person took it, no one knew what would happen. Maybe they would be infected by the Old God blood and become monsters that only knew how to kill.

However, it would be a pity to throw it away. Wayne put it into his storage bag. Maybe in the future, there would be a day when it would be useful.

Because there were no work arrangements, after opening the treasure chests, Wayne felt a bit idle.

However, he still had to meet Fitz by the lake at night, so he could only try his best to arrange some fragmented little things for himself and could not break his promise again.

Just when he was a bit tangled, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the gate.

"Wayne, my friend, I've come to visit you."

Upon hearing the voice, Wayne knew it was Borch. Counting the time, it had been seven days since they parted, and it was indeed about time for him to visit.

Without thinking much, Wayne immediately came out of the residence to the gate to welcome this good friend.

However, what made him feel surprised was that besides the two Zerrikanian female warriors Tia and Vya, there was actually a beautiful girl who looked about sixteen years old, and a little girl who was about four or five years old, wearing a pink little skirt, full of liveliness and curiosity.

As soon as the two sides met, the little girl cheered, moved her short legs, ran over, hugged Wayne's calf, and looked up at him with a grin.

And the sixteen-year-old girl had an arrogant and impatient look, raised her head and snorted, and didn't say anything.

Wayne was not a fool. Seeing this scene, he immediately associated it with Borch's shapeshifting ability, as well as the green dragon spouse and child he had just obtained.

The two sides didn't say much outside. He welcomed everyone into his house and took out pastries, candies, and fruit juice to entertain everyone.

After some exchange, Wayne really didn't guess wrong. This girl who looked sixteen and always had an impatient expression was Borch's wife, the green dragon Myrgtabrakke.

And that cute little girl was, of course, the little hatchling Saskia.

As for why they became like this, Borch had a straightforward personality. He didn't explain much, but took out a golden scale the size of a palm from his arms, took out a golden horn carved from dragon teeth from his waist, and the huge wooden box that had been brought by Vya and Tia, and put them on the table in front of Wayne.

While patting the wooden box, he laughed loudly and said:

"My friend, I came here this time specifically to send you a reward."

"I said long ago that I wouldn't let my friend suffer a loss. This reward will definitely satisfy you."
