Chapter 117: Reunion with Geralt

The subsequent development was quite smooth. On the way back to the valley, they didn't encounter any monsters. Wayne took more than a dozen porters and successfully arrived at the valley where the green dragon was.

And when he rendezvoused with George, the corpses in the valley, including the monsters like the dragon and the giant, had already been dismembered by George.

Dragon skin, dragon tendons, dragon claws, dragon teeth, and the most precious organ in the giant dragon's body that produced dragon flames, the fire sac, had all been taken down.

Relatively speaking, the giant's body didn't have much value. The only thing that could be considered precious was the giant's eyeball.

Unfortunately, one of them had already been destroyed by Wayne, but the mutagen taken from his body had a higher value.

However, even so, the materials extracted from these monsters already weighed hundreds of kilograms, all of which were good materials for making weapons, equipment, and potions. Distributed to each porter, everyone had to carry dozens of kilograms.

Regarding this point, those porters didn't dare to have any complaints.

Because including village head Jeff, these guys were all frightened by these two huge corpses. Without close contact, they could hardly imagine what kind of monster the green dragon they had faced was.

This body nearly ten meters long, weighing more than ten tons, sharp claws, sharp teeth, and the terrifying ability to breathe fire had already made these villagers who had only heard of evil dragons in legends almost pee their pants.

At the same time, they also had greater fear of the strength of Wayne, this disguised noble boy, in their hearts, understanding that the other party was not someone they could afford to provoke at all. It was feared that he could dry out everyone in their village with one person and one sword.

It was precisely because of the fear of Wayne's strength and status that these unruly peasants of Velen showed unusual compliance and obedience, and no moths appeared halfway.

For these unruly peasants, compared to good words, fists were indeed more convincing.

By the time Wayne finished the finishing touches in Velen and returned to Wyzima, it was already five days later.

The unruly peasants of Downwalen village were still sensible. After being beaten up by him, when he went to Downwalen village again to ask for those Elven manuscripts, there was no more embarrassing scene of pestering.

Those manuscripts that were suspected to be lost were also returned. Although it was unknown whether they had been transcribed, village head Jeff was like the honest man in the legend, taking some villagers together, not only grateful to Wayne and George, singing their merits loudly, but even claiming that they would build a statue for them in the village to sing the merits of their help to Downwalen village in removing the evil dragon.

Wayne sneered in his heart, but didn't oppose it on the surface. He just took his things calmly and turned to leave.

And after the two returned to Wyzima, George only lived in his house for two days, transcribed part of the content of the manuscripts, especially the part about the Griffin School equipment, and then left.

This Witcher from the Griffin School was a truly good person driven by kindness and principles in his heart.

He wouldn't covet a stable and comfortable life like Wayne, but would rather take risks, go to those poor backwaters, execute dangerous contracts, and ask for no return.

Just like this dragon-hunting mission, from beginning to end, he only received the promised one thousand Orens as a reward from Wayne. As for other spoils, except for the Elven manuscripts he was allowed to transcribe, he didn't want anything else.

On the contrary, Wayne not only learned a lot of knowledge and experience, combat skills, and past historical secrets from this Griffin School Witcher master, but also completed one master-level mission and several professional-level missions through the mission system, obtaining quite a lot of experience and treasure chest rewards.

Of course, the most important thing was that he gained the friendship of this Griffin School master. If there was any need in the future, he could contact this master through letters or other ways to seek his help.

However, it was a pity that when he opened the treasure chests he had accumulated on the lucky day in July, luck didn't favor him. Whether it was the master-level treasure chest or those several expert-level treasure chests, nothing good was opened.

The former only had more than a thousand gold coins, while the latter only opened a consumable piece of equipment.

Burst Arrows * 20: A special weapon from Amazon female warriors. This special arrow will burst by itself after hitting the enemy, causing violent internal explosion damage to the enemy and destroying the enemy's body. However, although nothing good was opened, the experience given by the mission successfully raised his Witcher level to level 7.

Wayne (16 years old) Occupation: Witcher Level: 7 (223/700)

Ability points: 7 points

Attributes: Strength 27, Agility 32, Constitution 29, Spirit 32.

Skills: Swordplay LV5, Signs LV8, Genetic Mutation LV5, Gwent LV5.

Special bloodline: Elder Blood (weak, unawakened) Activation requires ten ability points.

Subsidiary skills: Archery LV2, Cooking LV6, Planting LV3, Alchemy LV4, Riding LV3, Blacksmithing LV4, Alchemy 4.

After saying goodbye to Master George, in the following months, Wayne's life in Wyzima was quite stable, without ups and downs of master-level missions, and no one came to find his trouble.

On weekdays, he used disguise glasses to disguise himself as a human. Except for the people who got along with him, everyone thought he was just a powerful mercenary, a young master with a family background, rather than a rare Witcher.

During these months, Wayne, except for completing some daily ordinary-level missions and visiting the sorceress's house, spent almost all his time on improving his subsidiary skills.

He successfully raised the three skills of Alchemy, Alchemy, and Blacksmithing to level 5, but he didn't use ability points to light up the skill specialties of these three skills, but chose to retain ability points and wait until he had ten points to unseal his Elder Blood bloodline.

This kind of money-burning behavior, besides making the inventory in his warehouse more, also made the mission money rewards he usually obtained all spent on this.

By the time these skills were all raised to level 5, the money on him was probably only about eight thousand Orens left.

The materials brought back from Velen were also consumed seven or eight out of ten.

And those rare dragon skins, dragon teeth, dragon claws, and dragon bones were also completed into many very practical finished equipment under the guidance of Master O'Henry and were preserved by him in the warehouse.

As for the Elven manuscripts and the green dragon's fire sac, he didn't trade these two precious things to Keira and Triss, whom he was familiar with, but preserved them secretly, learning and transcribing while waiting for the opportunity to exchange for more suitable rewards.

For example, when he wanted to clear the underwater city under Wyzima Lake, he could use these rare materials to exchange for the help of the sorceresses.

Unfortunately, the magic nodes in the real world were not as common as in the game. At least near Wyzima, no such place was found, making his ability to absorb ability points have no place to play.

If he wanted to unlock the special abilities of Elder Blood or unlock the skill specialties of subsidiary skills, besides the ability points given when upgrading, there was no other way for the time being.

Time flew by, and it soon reached October, and the temperature in the entire North began to drop rapidly, entering a long winter.

As a cold northern climate, it wouldn't be long before most countries would begin to snow, rivers would freeze, flowers and plants would wither, and all things in the world would enter a dormant stage.

And at this time, it was also the time for all Wolf School Witchers to start returning home.

Sure enough, Wayne didn't wait long before Geralt, carrying a long sword, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and leading his mount Roach, appeared at his door in good spirits.
