Chapter 143: Clingy Triss and Magic Teacher
"Wayne, where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
At dusk, Wayne had just returned to Triss's family mansion when the red-haired sorceress came looking for him. Although she asked where Wayne had been, the flickering ambiguous eyes, the cool and alluring attire, and the alluring rose fragrance emanating from her body all showed Triss's restless heart.
Obviously, the short pleasure in the afternoon did not satisfy the red-haired beauty, and unlike Keira, who likes romance and luxury and has a somewhat strong personality.
Miss Triss, who is older and became a royal advisor earlier, has a personality that is more like a clingy kitten. She is both a bit docile and a bit naughty, and always has a kind of likable teasing. She prefers to be close to others and prefers the feeling of being loved by others.
Wayne opened the door, let Triss, who was wearing a purple-red light silk coat, walk into his room, and then answered:
"Nothing, Triss. Just after taking a bath, I felt that my spellcasting ability seemed to be stronger than before, and even the power of the witcher signs I cast had made obvious progress, so I went to the wild to test it."
Originally, Triss's eyes were on Wayne's strong body, her face was slightly red, thinking about the things that were about to happen at night, and her whole body was a bit dry and hot.
However, after hearing what Wayne said, the sorceress's professional quality made her brain recover to sobriety. She subconsciously used her perception talent to probe Wayne's body, and then said in surprise:
"My God, Wayne, it turns out that your affinity for Chaos Magic and your talent for magic power are so high!"
"I didn't notice it before. My God, in terms of talent, most students in the magic academy cannot compare with you."
Before professional testing, even Triss could not see that Wayne had become a Source. She just instinctively perceived that a large amount of Chaos Magic was gathered in the man in front of her, and the storage of this magic power far exceeded the magic power reserve of ordinary witchers.
Thinking of her unbearable performance in front of Wayne in the afternoon and her magic-sensitive constitution, Triss's face turned slightly red again.
Although Wayne is not proficient in the professional knowledge of sorcerers, the large number of books in Kaer Morhen also made him know more about Chaos Magic than ordinary people, and also understand the difference between sorcerers and ordinary people.
After considering for a few seconds, Wayne said with a sudden realization tone: "Perhaps, I also have the talent of a sorcerer. However, because I became a witcher too early, the genetic mutation experiment caused my body to change, and it was only now that I began to awaken the talent of a sorcerer."
"Speaking of which, I am eighteen years old this year. As a half-elf, maybe I am naturally awakened later than humans."
"Ah! Eighteen years old."
Triss heard this and couldn't help but exclaim again. Because the contact time was not long enough, and Wayne was a witcher who couldn't see his true age, plus Wayne's mature and stable handling style, she had always thought that the witcher in front of her was at least thirty years old. Unexpectedly, this time it was her "old cow eating tender grass."
Thinking of her entangled appearance in the bath, Triss even felt a trace of shame in her heart, but soon more stimulation flowed backward and entangled in her heart.
Her head was a bit confused and her whole body was dry and hot, but she still instinctively explained with the magic knowledge she had learned:
"According to common sense, children with magic talent, because of the Chaos Magic gathered in their bodies, cause deformities in their bodies, or even more terrifying changes."
"Until the Chaos Magic stored in the body reaches the limit and erupts suddenly under some stimulation, it often causes irreparable tragedies."
"If there is no professional teacher to guide them, they generally live quite difficultly."
"Perhaps, it is precisely because of the witcher experiment that you received witcher sign training from a young age. Although witcher signs cannot be counted as real spells at all, they also effectively helped you alleviate the Chaos Magic stored in your body, so that you did not appear to have physical distortion due to the accumulation of Chaos Magic."
Such an explanation, although there are some omissions, also conforms to the rules mastered by sorcerers.
Hearing that Triss had already helped him complete the defense in a self-consistent way, Wayne said with a slightly flattering smile: "Perhaps it is so. By the way, Triss, since I have the talent to become a sorcerer, can you teach me some knowledge about magic?"
"Of course, this is not free. If possible, I hope you can serve as my magic teacher. The reward and the like are easy to talk about. You should also know my personality." Facing Wayne's sincere request, Triss smiled, looked at him with charming eyes, didn't know what she thought of, suddenly chuckled, walked to Wayne, poked his strong muscles with her fingers, and said:
"Your request, I will consider it carefully, Wayne."
"Hehe, however, if you want to become my little apprentice, you must pay more effort and convince me."
………………
After a night of hard work, Wayne's efforts were not in vain.
The sorceress promised that after returning to Wyzima, Wayne could go to her study every day to watch the magic books she collected, and if there were any problems with magic, Triss would also answer them for him.
But this is not free. At the very least, when Wayne stays at her house, the dinner problem must be solved by Wayne.
For this request that could take the relationship with Triss a step further, Wayne of course did not refuse.
Although wanting to become a powerful sorcerer usually requires decades of study, he has confidence in his Source talent. As a favorite of Chaos Magic, the growth speed of a Source is many times that of an ordinary sorcerer.
Moreover, he has the help of the system. He believes that it won't be long before he can stand at the top of the witcher world by his personal power.
However, Wayne also knows one thing very clearly: he had better not let people know that he has become a Source, and even more so, do not let people know that he has awakened the talent of the Elder Blood in his body.
These two things, no matter which one, are treasures coveted by others. Even if his strength is strong enough, but open guns are easy to dodge, dark arrows are hard to guard against. As long as he is exposed to careerists, he will be involved in various conspiracies and tricks.
The next day, Wayne accompanied Triss to stroll around Maribor City, bought some jewelry and gifts that the red-haired beauty liked, and the two enjoyed a beautiful holiday like a young couple who had just fallen in love.
In the evening, the two attended the banquet at the Duke of Maribor's house together. This Duke of Maribor, who was in his fifties and fat, expressed appreciation for the efficiency of Triss and Wayne solving this tricky case in only one day, and issued the task reward to Triss.
What surprised Wayne was that the reward Triss received was not much, only about a thousand Orens, which did not match the status of the sorceress royal advisor at all.
However, afterwards, Triss told him that this gold was only the surface reward, and the real big head was actually the shares of the mine.
After learning about the strength of the Leshen, the Duke of Maribor gave up 5% of the mine's shares and traded them to Triss. The price was that any safety problems in the mine in the future must be solved by the sorceress, and it must be solved as soon as possible.
If in the future, when Triss dies, or she no longer has the ability to protect this mine, these shares will be taken back.
5% of the mine shares don't look like much, but as a quite huge mine around Maribor, these shares have a dividend of more than 200 Orens every year. As long as the holding time is long enough, it can bring her a steady stream of income, which can be considered a quite generous reward.
Triss is a kind and generous lady. She knows that her contribution to this task cannot be compared with Wayne, so she paid all the 1,000 Orens in cash to Wayne as the reward for this task, while she herself held the mine shares that must bear certain obligations.
Wayne had no objection to this, but truly realized Triss's kindness, which was much better than those black-hearted bosses, and truly achieved "sharing blessings."
Compared with his harvest of earning 1,000 Orens in a few days, other witchers who could only get money from farmers and were often defaulted on their debts were simply too miserable.
Of course, spending 1,000 Orens to eliminate a powerful Leshen is not a losing deal. If ordinary soldiers were sent to deal with this monster, I am afraid the cost would be many times higher than it is now.
