Chapter 152

Returning to Wyzima.

Although the king's reward had not yet been realized, Wayne had already taken out 3,000 Crowns from his own treasury in advance.

He gave 500 Crowns to each of his fellow witchers, including Vesemir and Geralt, as a reward for this commission.

Except for the old witcher Vesemir, who firmly refused to accept it, the other witcher brothers did not stand on ceremony with Wayne and laughed as they accepted this huge sum of money, joking about "slaying the rich."

And Wayne didn't spoil Vesemir either; not only did he force the 500 Crowns on the old man, but he also used the excuse of repairing Kaer Morhen castle to force another 1,000 Crowns on him.

In his system warehouse, there were still two Master-level Treasure Chests and dozens of Ordinary Treasure Chests lying there. If these chests were opened, at least a few thousand more Crowns would be in hand. Even without the reward from the king, he wouldn't lose much money.

In short, Master Wayne is not short of money.

The witchers who could come specifically to help Wayne were all true friends who treated each other with sincerity, so there was no need for too much courtesy.

On the second day after returning to Wyzima, after Wayne cooked a big meal that left everyone with endless aftertastes, his witcher brothers left Wyzima one after another, parting ways and heading to their respective scheduled locations to carry out this year's missions.

Only Berengar and Geralt, who was waiting for Yennefer, did not leave.

As for the sorceresses, Keira and Yennefer both needed a period of rest due to excessive mana consumption.

And poor Triss was even worse. Because she suffered a mental shock from the evil god, her body suffered from magic backlash. Not only was she seriously injured, but because of her own magic-sensitive constitution, she could not recover by taking witcher potions.

Helpless, she could only temporarily take leave from King Foltest and suspend her work as a royal advisor.

When Wayne went to see Triss, the red-haired beauty was quite depressed. Considering that Triss was seriously injured this time to help with his mission.

Wayne felt a little guilty, so he simply lived in Triss's house for a period of time, cooking delicious food for her every day, saying sweet words, taking care of her carefully, and warming the sorceress's injured heart with his own body.

And in order to repay the sorceresses for their help, Wayne specifically took out the batch of magic manuscripts he found in the elven underground ruins in Velen last time and shared the knowledge in them, excluding witcher equipment, with the three sorceresses.

This private notebook from a certain wizard more than a hundred years ago was immediately praised by the three sorceresses. They bluntly said that this was very expensive magic knowledge, which was very helpful to them and enough to repay this help.

Triss finally found something to do to pass the time while recuperating.

This also made Wayne quietly breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't like owing others favors; repaying kindness and avenging grudges was his style of doing things.

In the following March, Wayne did not receive any difficult missions. He donated the hundreds of kilograms of dried salted fish that Lambert and Eskel brought back but didn't take away to the Temple of Melitele, giving them to the poor and orphans who needed food.

On weekdays, besides completing daily tasks and waiting for the lucky day in March, the thing he did most was to familiarize himself with the Oath of Victory Sword gifted to him by the Goddess Lilith.

This is a two-handed greatsword nearly 1.3 meters long including the hilt, weighing about 20-something kilograms in total. It is silver-white all over, with a golden patterned guard, and the hilt and scabbard are both forged from a strange blue metal.

According to the information Lilith told him, although the Oath of Victory Sword cannot be said to cut iron like mud, it is sharper than ordinary precious swords and is incomparably sturdy; it is difficult for any weapon to cause damage to it.

Moreover, this weapon has a powerful ability: whenever its wielder uses it to slay evil monsters, the sword can gain a trace of enhancement, becoming more powerful, and at the same time, it will store a trace of holy magic power.

And when the number of monsters it slays reaches a limit, it can unleash a powerful holy magic attack, swinging a huge light blade several meters or even more than ten meters long, causing devastating blows to the enemy.

As long as it stores enough power, even a powerful dragon might be cut in half by a single sword strike from the Oath of Victory Sword.

Furthermore, this Oath of Victory Sword also comes with a powerful magic item, which is the sword's scabbard.

This gorgeous scabbard, made entirely of blue and gold metal, also has a name of its own, called Avalon.

Due to being long-term soaked in the holy magic power within the Oath of Victory Sword, this scabbard named Avalon can cast a strong magic shield, protecting its owner from any attack damage for a period of time.

Of course, this absolute protection shield can only last for about a minute, and it needs nearly a month to recover after each use. As for the description of being immune to any damage, it is also an exaggeration. Any magic shield has its limits and cannot defend against all attacks; it's just that Avalon's defense limit is high enough.

Undoubtedly, the Oath of Victory Sword, combined with the Avalon scabbard, this precious sword gifted by the Lady of the Lake, can not only exert strong strength in daily battles but also play a decisive role and save lives at critical moments.

It is definitely a rare artifact sword in the witcher world, worthy of him trying so hard to please this Lady Goddess, and even selling his own beauty in the end, offering his body.

Thinking of the wonderful taste of the Goddess Lilith, Wayne's heart rippled again. He decided that as long as he had time in the future, he would go to learn and communicate new postures with the goddess every month. This is not because Master Wayne is lecherous, absolutely not.

His main purpose is to upgrade the newly acquired skill, Divine Blessing.

This skill is too powerful. Resistance to abnormal states corresponds to his body, while mental resistance and soul resistance correspond to his mind and soul.

As long as the skill level of this Divine Blessing is high enough, whether it is mental attacks, soul curses, or frost, lightning, fire, slashing, piercing, or bleeding.

No matter what kind of attack it is, the damage and effect caused to him will be greatly reduced, and even eventually reach the point of immortality, where nothing can hurt him, which can be called the strongest defensive passive skill.

As for the charm attribute that seems to be a bonus at the end of the skill effect, Wayne understands it as the instinctive worship, love, reverence, or fear that all living beings in the world have for gods.

Charm is also an extremely powerful attribute. Whether dealing with people, animals, or even monsters, magic elements, and the laws of heaven and earth, being able to gain favor from others is a powerful advantage.

Although he hasn't figured out the specific function of the charm attribute yet, being able to appear in the Divine Blessing skill obviously has deep meaning.

Time flew by, and it was late March.

This morning, Wayne gently moved Triss, who was sleeping soundly on him, to the side.

He habitually reached out to touch the silver 36-sided dice on the bedside table and threw it casually, and it actually landed on 36 points.

Wayne was overjoyed and threw it five more times in a row. As a result, every time it was above 30 points. Such a performance made him immediately understand that the lucky day in March had arrived.

For him, the lucky day is also known as the chest-opening day, which is almost the most important time of the month.

And compared to other months, this lucky day is especially important.

Because Master-level tasks are hard to come by, and within his system, there are two whole Master-level Treasure Chests waiting for him to draw prizes.

Wayne put on his clothes, turned back and patted Triss's snow-white and flawless butt, and whispered in her ear:

"Dear Triss, I have something to do at home today, don't wait for me for lunch."

Triss heard this, woke up from her sleep, subconsciously reached out and groped on Wayne's body, then giggled, opened her eyes, looked at Wayne with eyes that could melt, and said:

"Not doing morning exercises today?"

Feeling Triss's somewhat cold fingers, Wayne subconsciously shivered, looked at the sun that had just risen outside the window, sighed in his heart, cursed "little demon" in his heart, and then took off the clothes he had put on again, and said to the sorceress:

"Alright, dear Triss, since you are not afraid."

"What does it matter if I go out a little later."

A few hours later, when Wayne left Triss's mansion and returned home, he still clearly remembered Yennefer's playful smile when he left.

Unfortunately, this is the goddess of his good brother Geralt, and he couldn't make a move on Yennefer.

With this thought, Wayne closed his door, bathed and changed clothes according to custom, burned incense and lit a fire, set up a simple altar, sat cross-legged on the ground, prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and then entered meditation mode.
