Chapter 210: Grandmaster Equipment Blueprints and the Arrival of Viper School Witchers

Beauclair at dusk is very beautiful, the dim yellow sunlight draping a thin veil over all the buildings.

Although it is close to dinner time, the pedestrians on the street are still endless. Wayne, arm in arm with Francesca, this pair of handsome man and beautiful woman is very eye-catching on the street, making passing pedestrians stop to watch.

These dense gazes, for Francesca who has been an Elf royal since childhood, are not taken to heart, and for Wayne who has become somewhat accustomed to the witcher identity, it is just sparse and ordinary.

The two walked and chatted along the beautiful streets, occasionally seeing shops they were interested in, they would go in to browse and buy things, and if they discovered novel food, they would also stop and taste it.

Wayne discovered that Francesca is not as unworldly as she looks. In the long years, although she rarely shops like ordinary people, dealing with daily necessities.

But she does not lack experience and knowledge, has her own views and understanding of every matter, and also maintains curiosity and respect for new things.

After about half an hour, under Wayne's guidance, the two came to the shop of the Elf Armor Master Teynser.

This is a shop with a luxurious storefront and a quite large area. Judging from the decoration and the bustling street it is located on, this Elf Armor Master clearly also has quite high authority locally and is sought after by local people.

Pushing open the shop door, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge display wall, with all kinds of fine armor placed on the display stand like exhibits.

A male Elf who looks like he has entered middle age is sitting behind a counter, smoking a pipe leisurely. Even if he discovered that guests had arrived, he only glanced at them quite lazily, without any intention of getting up to welcome guests.

And in this shop, besides him, there is also a young human lad who looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a quite honest appearance. When he saw Wayne and Francesca, he immediately showed a smile and greeted them.

"Guests, this is the shop of Master Teynser, what are your needs?"

"Is it buying goods, or custom-made, or wanting to forge according to blueprints, all are fine."

"Master Teynser is a Grandmaster blacksmith rated by the Blacksmith Guild. His technique is the highest level among all blacksmiths. Of course, the price is also a bit expensive."

After listening to this young man's introduction, Wayne turned his head to look at Francesca, seeing the Sorceress looking at some finished armor in the shop with curiosity, without any intention of speaking.

Seeing this, Wayne could only speak himself:

"Young man, I want to custom-make some highest-level armor and need to talk to Master Teynser alone."

The young human lad hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the middle-aged Elf behind the counter. Clearly, he is Teynser.

And that Teynser clearly also heard Wayne's words. After Wayne finished speaking, this middle-aged Elf sat up slowly and seriously looked at Wayne and Francesca beside him.

Until a few seconds later, the beautiful Francesca beside him met his gaze, this middle-aged Elf was suddenly stunned, and then, as if discovering something incredible, quickly stood up and said to the human young man:

"Lafakui, you go back first, that's all for today, remember to bring the shop door."

Then, this Master Teynser bowed slightly to Francesca and Wayne, and said respectfully:

"This lady, this gentleman, let's talk about the custom-made armor in my reception room."

Saying this, he walked out from behind the counter, came to a door, and made an invitation gesture to Francesca and Wayne in the lobby.

The human young man named Lafakui was very surprised. He knew the temper of this Elf master very well and had never seen him be so polite to anyone.

However, no matter how curious he was, facing the master's order, he still bowed respectfully, then obediently closed the shop door and left the shop.

After all three entered a reception room with quite exquisite decoration, Teynser politely brewed a cup of good tea for the two, then sat in the seat opposite looking at Francesca, somewhat hesitant to speak, as if he hadn't decided how to open his mouth.

Seeing this situation, the Sorceress was quite straightforward and took off her pearl earrings, revealing her original beautiful Elf ears. She smiled and asked the Elf Armor Master:

"Mr. Teynser, have you ever seen me?"

Seeing Francesca reveal the slender ears unique to Elves, Teynser seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then stood up and bowed again, saying respectfully:

"Princess Francesca, I was once a subject under your father's rule and had the honor of seeing your face at some celebrations, and I dared not forget it for the rest of my life. It's just that hundreds of years ago, because I couldn't stand the fighting with humans, I migrated to the south to settle down."

Hearing Teynser's address, Francesca showed a somewhat nostalgic look. After being in a trance for a second, the Sorceress said with a smile:

"Teynser, this one beside me is also our fellow clansman. His name is Wayne, and he is also a witcher of the Wolf School."

"He should have something to ask you for help."

"After you finish talking, let's talk again."

After saying this, Francesca nodded elegantly to the two men, then took out a book from her waist bag and left the reception room.

After the Sorceress left, Wayne clearly felt that Teynser breathed a sigh of relief, and even his posture relaxed a lot.

Wayne asked somewhat curiously:

"Master, you seem to be quite reserved in your attitude toward Lady Francesca. Is there any reason?"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged Elf glanced at Wayne lightly upon hearing this, reached out and took out that pipe from his pocket, put it in his mouth, took a beautiful puff, and then said:

"You new generation of Elves of course don't know, Princess Francesca was once the most beautiful and talented Elf royal in our Elf race, the dream lover in the hearts of countless young Elves, deeply loved by everyone."

"Even now, this noble lady is also the top spellcaster on the entire continent. It is precisely because of her protection that many Elf clansmen can retain their current power and status."

"She is a lady worthy of respect."

After sighing a few times, Teynser said to Wayne casually:

"Are you also a witcher? Do you want to forge any equipment?"

"Before you, many witchers have found me, and they all wanted me to forge equipment for them."

"Since you are someone brought by Princess Francesca, I can give you a cost price, just charge you for the material fee."

Unexpectedly, Francesca's face is so big, just meeting once can save him a lot of money. Wayne secretly laughed in his heart, but said on his mouth:

"Master, I don't have suitable equipment blueprints for the time being."

"Finding you this time is precisely because I heard that you know some news about the high-level equipment blueprints of witchers, and I hope you can tell me their location, so that I can collect them."

………………

Half an hour later, Wayne and Francesca left Teynser's shop together.

Wayne's mood was quite pleasant. From Teynser, he obtained the whereabouts of the Grandmaster blueprints for the Griffin School, Wolf School, Bear School, and Manticore School.

Although it is said that he can know the blueprints of the Wolf School by asking Vesemir, that colleague who was sent here by Vesemir decades ago, his corpse still needs to be collected for him.

As for the Grandmaster blueprints of the Cat School, alright, because he came too early, this matter hasn't happened yet. That Cat School witcher carrying the blueprints hasn't come to Toussaint yet, nor has he died.

And when he was chatting with Francesca, the Sorceress told him a piece of news: Teynser will probably stay in Toussaint for about a month, and then he will set off for Dol Blathanna to settle there.

His shop will also be handed over to his apprentice to manage. If Wayne has needs in armor in the future, he can go directly to Dol Blathanna to find him.

Alright, regarding this news, although Wayne felt a bit regretful, he also felt a bit fortunate. At least his decision saved the life of this Elf Armor Master, preventing him from dying under the butcher's knife of racists at some point in the future, which can also be considered as indirectly strengthening the foundation of the Elf race.

Speaking of this, one has to mention Francesca's ability. Although Wayne knows that this Sorceress is always intentionally or unintentionally trying to win him over, it must be said that when getting along with this smart, generous, and beautiful Elf Sorceress, Wayne feels very comfortable and very happy.

It can only be said that heroes have a hard time passing the beauty pass. When facing a beauty, even a heart of stone will give the other party certain preferential treatment.

That night, Francesca did not return to the North, but returned to the room he rented with Wayne. Of course, the two did not have the kind of happy things that people like to see. After all, the relationship had not reached that point.

Wayne just personally made some desserts and snacks that women like. The two chatted while eating snacks and played Gwent all night.

What he didn't expect was that the Elf beauty Francesca, who looked unworldly, was actually a Gwent master, with a bunch of rare cards in her hand, and her own technique and luck were also very good. If it weren't for the fact that Wayne's Gwent skill had reached level nine, he might not necessarily have been able to win against this Elf beauty.

That night, the two played very happily. Francesca probed from Wayne's mouth some of his suggestions for the future of the Elf race, while Wayne obtained a large amount of Gwent experience and several rare Gwent cards from Francesca.

The next day, after this beautiful Sorceress packed up and took away many cakes and snacks made by Wayne, she used the portal to return directly to the North.

And what Wayne didn't expect was that Letho's speed was very fast, and he was also very trustworthy. Only one day passed, and he found the Red Moon Inn with his two companions. The witchers of the two schools finally gathered together again.

Facing such guests, Wayne of course was very enthusiastic, went directly to another best restaurant in the city to open a private room, the best food, the best fine wine from the East, all placed on the table. After the conversation ended, he was also prepared to take these people to the best brothel in the city to have fun, letting these witcher brothers who were used to poor days see the money power of Wayne old man.

The four sat in the luxurious private room, drinking and chatting. From Letho's mouth, Wayne knew a lot of intelligence.

First, his two companions were both witchers of the Viper School. The one with a shorter figure seen last time was named Serrit, and the other one with a taller figure, carrying the smell of medicine and wearing bandages, was named Auckes. Both of them were relatively young witchers, and their experience and strength could not be considered excellent, so the three had always been performing missions together.

Letho's full name was Letho of Gulet. Like Geralt of Rivia, in the former Southern Kingdom of Aedirn, he could also be considered a relatively famous witcher.

And another thing was as Wayne expected. The former Viper School academy was besieged by the Usurper of Nilfgaard two years ago. The entire Viper School, besides the three witchers who survived, also had an older witcher master who was seriously injured and almost became a cripple, now hiding in some place in the Southern Kingdom, responsible for protecting the property left by the Viper School.

In addition, one or two old witchers went missing and their whereabouts are now unknown.

And Letho and the three of them were executing contracts while looking for a future way out for the Viper School.
