Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 103 The Power of the Sorceress
After killing the two ghouls, Wayne did not relax his vigilance, but held the electric blade in his hand, quietly waiting for the magic power inside to be fully recharged.

After all, the ghouls were just side dishes led by the corpses, and the real master who killed the soldiers had not yet appeared.

Three minutes later, when the magic power in the electric blade was refilled, Wayne gripped the dagger tightly and walked deep into the mine.

This mine has a long history and a huge internal space. I don’t know when it started to be built, because there is a cave roof to cover it, and it is usually used as a warehouse.

Looking around, inside the cave, there are many cut shapes of various stone building materials stored, and in various places in the cave, there are still burning braziers as lighting objects.

After a quick glance, Wayne didn't run around, but slowly explored inward along the direction of the corpse's smell.

Searching for the scent of the corpse, he advanced tens of meters, and he came to a corridor that seemed to have been excavated recently.

Wayne found that a dozen or so corpses dressed as soldiers were scattered inside and outside the tunnel, and they had long been silent. Most of them died in miserable conditions, their bodies were cut in many places by sharp weapons, and they were basically out of human form. This is also in line with the demon spirit characteristics of monsters.

Demon spirits are born of extremely strong negative emotions, and will feel endless and indescribable pain.They are full of anger, hatred and jealousy, so they hate and envy the living people, wishing to kill all human beings.

Like other evil spirits, they are invisible, so they cannot be harmed by fire, poison, or bleeding weapons, and because of this, they are basically only able to deal with magic spellcasters and monster hunters.

Seeing this situation, Wayne became even more vigilant. He immediately added an enhanced version of the Kunn shield to himself before continuing along this corridor.

The inside of the corridor is not too long, and after only about 50 meters, it has come to the end of the corridor.

Looking at the scene at the end of the corridor, Wayne immediately discovered the cause of the whole incident.

It turned out that a stone wall made of bricks was connected at the end of this corridor, but at this time, it was unknown whether it was the work of the miners, the stone wall had been broken to create a huge gap that allowed people to pass through.

Although Wayne didn't take the risk to go deep, but just probed into the gap through this gap, he discovered that behind the stone wall should be an underground tomb of unknown age.

Many coffins carved with exquisite shapes are neatly arranged inside the tomb, which is a large tomb of the joint burial type.

Wayne's skin can even feel the air flow in the tomb, and it is estimated that there are other exits from this tomb.

Obviously, if there is no mistake, the cause of this incident should be an excavation accident.

The miners accidentally dug into the outer wall of an unknown catacomb, without considering the consequences at all, or under the instigation of someone, they directly destroyed the tomb, attracting the attack of the demon spirits inside the tomb.

I just feel sorry for the group of soldiers who came to investigate. If someone had reported the full cause of the incident in advance, they would probably have entrusted professional warlocks to solve the problem instead of sending soldiers who did not pose any threat to the demon spirits to die.

After detecting the information, Wayne did not continue to investigate further, but slowly exited the tunnel.

Although this matter has not been 100% investigated, it is not his job alone.

Ten minutes later, Wayne returned to the ground and told all the information he had found to Keira and Triss who had been waiting there. After hearing the information, the sorceresses were surprised at first, and then expressed disdain for the Baron Copper.

Obviously, this matter was deliberately concealed by the baron. He didn't want to take any responsibility for his mistakes, so he concealed the cause of the matter and wanted to treat it as an accident.

However, the two sorceresses will not accuse them, this is not their job, and when the commission is completed, they will naturally report the truth of the matter to the king as royal advisors.

How to deal with the specific follow-up is up to King Foltest himself.

After listening to Wayne's report, Keira looked at the witcher with admiring eyes, and praised:
"As expected of an excellent demon hunter, Wayne, if this matter is entrusted to those soldiers, it will definitely not be as efficient, and there will be casualties."

"Okay, now that we know that the enemies are monsters mainly demon spirits, please give us a little more time. After we are ready, let's clean up that catacomb."

In fact, regardless of any combat profession, it is the same as a demon hunter. If you obtain the corresponding information and find a targeted strategy before the battle, then you will get twice the result with half the effort.

For example, to deal with demon spirits now, if you confirm that the enemy is a demon spirit in advance, everyone prepares more magic props that can restrain the demon spirit, and it will be much easier to clean up the tomb later.

Similarly, as a demon hunter, Wayne also needs to prepare for combat. To deal with these demon spirits without these entities, he chose the recovery-type swallow potion, the wolf potion that increased agility, and the tawny owl potion that increased mana recovery. .

Originally, he also considered whether to use the cat's eye potion for dark vision, but after thinking that he was walking with two female sorceresses who could use the lighting technique, he decisively abandoned this idea.

Although it is not impossible to withstand the toxicity of the cat's eye potion, drinking too much potion is not an easy experience.

And after he finished meditating and added evil spirit oil against ghosts to his master silver sword, Keira and Triss also completed their preparations.

"Wow, Wayne, your face is so scary, as if you are seriously ill, too pale, and bloodshot." Keira was very surprised.

"Yes, I have also read such records in the book. Demon hunters can use their abnormal organs and special potions to imitate the abilities of some monsters to strengthen their own strength."

"These are all the research results of the warlocks of the cult during the time of the Demon Hunters."

"It's a pity that when the Demon Hunter Cult was breached, a lot of knowledge about it was taken away or burned by some caring people."

After seeing Wayne's ugly appearance after drinking the witcher potion, the two sorceresses were a little surprised, and then began to discuss their knowledge about the witcher in a low voice.

In this era, warlocks are elite talents who combine mages, scientists, researchers, and even doctors.

If it is said that demon hunters have to go through more than 20 to [-] years of training before they become teachers.

Then warlocks may have to go through three to forty years of knowledge learning and various magic experiments before they graduate.

It can be said that every famous warlock is an extremely knowledgeable scholar.

Hearing the discussion of the two sorceresses, Wayne's heart moved, and he thought of Arethusa Academy on Thaned Island in Temeria.

Indeed, most of the knowledge accumulated by their demon hunters was lost in a turmoil hundreds of years ago. As a result, most of the current demon hunters can barely survive by relying on the inheritance left over from the cult period.

Not only was it split into many schools, but it was also forced to leave its hometown and spread all over the world.

But so many years have passed, not only has there been no major progress in the various technologies of the demon hunters, but they have gradually disappeared due to the death of many demon hunters.

Perhaps, in the long-established Arethusa Academy, there might be a lot of helpful knowledge for demon hunters.

But this idea, Wayne is just thinking about it now. At this time, the Warlock Brotherhood is at its most powerful period. There are countless strong people in the various colleges. If it gets their attention, it may attract further suppression from the warlocks.

The three chatted and kept moving forward, and soon followed the route Wayne had come to, and came to the stone wall at the end of the corridor.

As a man, but also as the guard of soldiers in this team, Wayne took the lead and walked in front of the team.

He stretched out his hand and gestured an Alder sign, which directly shook the other soft bricks on the stone wall, and opened a gap that could only allow ordinary people to get in, and opened a door that could accommodate two people.

And such a big movement seems to have attracted the vigilance of the demon spirits in the catacombs, and some faint wailing sounds began to spread in the catacombs.

Seeing this, Keira reached out and took out a magic item like an oil lamp from her pocket.

With the incantations she kept chanting and the input of a large amount of magic power, the oil lamp that was originally extinguished quickly ignited a faint blue flame.

While the flames were burning, a semicircular blue magic shield visible to the naked eye was propped up with Keira at the center.

Seeing this semicircular blue shield with a diameter of nearly five meters, Triss sighed with emotion and said:
"Wow! Exorcism shield, is this a magical protection item you made, Keira?"

"With this shield, any monsters in the ghost will not be able to get close to us until it is shattered."

When Keira heard this, she raised her chin proudly and hummed, then said:
"Triss, have you forgotten? I have received the highest evaluation from the academy in terms of protection. Even Dean Margarita is not as good as me in this area."

Triss nodded appreciatively. Every female sorceress who can be sent to the kings is the best graduate in the academy, which is one of the reasons why the Warlock Brotherhood is so strong.

With this layer of protection, she can cast spells in the shield with peace of mind.

Triss took out a fiery red round orb that looked like a ruby, put it in her palm, and said to Wayne standing in front of the team with a smile:
"Go in quickly, Mr. Witcher."

"Clean up here early, and we can take a hot bath when we go home. I'm looking forward to your dinner tonight."

Wayne nodded, and glanced at the magic items in the hands of the two sorceresses. Even as a layman, he could detect the powerful power of these two items.

And the ensuing battle also confirmed his conjecture. He originally thought that it would be a difficult battle for the three of them to face a dozen or even dozens of demon spirits.

But what Wayne didn't expect was that Keira supported the exorcism shield all the time, and no demon spirit could break through the protection of the shield and attack the three people inside.

And the fiery red orb in Triss's hand, driven by her magic power, can uninterruptedly release all kinds of flame magic, even if facing the siege of five or six demon spirits at the same time, these large-scale flame magic can also In a very short time, kill those invisible demon spirits.

Two female sorceresses, one for protection and one for attack, instead made Wayne standing in the shield a display. He just held a master-level silver sword and guarded the two female sorceresses wholeheartedly, preventing any possible accidents .

It took only half an hour for three people to clean one tomb and one tomb to clean up the entire catacomb without any accidents.

Such a result made Wayne a little embarrassed. He made all the preparations, drank the potion, and applied sword oil. As a result, he was led by two beauties to win the whole mission almost without a single sword.

At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the profession of a spellcaster, a warlock.

If we say that don't make appointments with demon hunters, and don't let them prepare for the battle, that's the secret to winning demon hunters.

In the same way, to deal with spellcasters, it is best to cut off their hands or pull out their tongues before they cast their magic.

Otherwise, once their spells are completed, the one who died will most likely be you.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is the natural nemesis of the caster, the magic resistance gold.

If you have a lot of magic resistance gold on your body and have the opportunity to get close to those spellcasters, then even if you are an ordinary soldier, you still have a chance to overthrow these high-ranking mages in the past.

From the discussion between Triss and Keira, Wayne knew that this was probably an elven tomb thousands of years ago. Judging from its structure and style, it should belong to the elven city where Vizima was originally located. And it belongs to the civilian tomb.

However, due to the long history, the local aboriginal elves have not been passed on, so no one has discovered it for so long.

Although it is certainly not as full of wealth as the tomb of the elf royal family, after discussing with Keira and Triss, they decided to share the found spoils among the three, which is not a waste of time.

Of course, as a man who basically didn't contribute much in the battle, the task of rummaging through all the coffins, searching for funeral objects, and collecting the demon spirit dust fell on Wayne.

However, Wayne is quite happy with this kind of work. These elves have been dead for thousands of years, and the bones have turned into dust. He has no psychological burden, but like opening a treasure chest, one by one. Opening lottery.

It's a pity that this is only a civilian tomb, and because of the ventilation, all the funerary objects have been weathered, and the preservation is not ideal.

He searched through the spoils for more than an hour, and probably found gold and silver jewelry worth less than a thousand oren and some precious stones that had lost their collection value.

On the contrary, the demon spirit dust left by the dozens of demon spirits was more valuable, and it was divided equally by the two sorceresses, so it was not included in the spoils of war.

At dusk, before the sun went down, the three of them completed the task and returned to Keira's mansion.

And when the two sorceresses went to the city hall to receive their rewards, Wayne also completed the expert-level commission received from Keira, gained [-] experience points, and an expert-level treasure chest.

He didn't rush to open the treasure chest, but went to a nearby high-end food material store with his little maid Maisie to buy all the ingredients needed for dinner.

By the way, I took some time to go home and find Lala, and in exchange for some gifts, asked her to tell her brother Fitz that the appointment with the Fisherman King was about to be missed tonight, and I hope it can be postponed for one day.
