Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 108 George and the Hunting Dragon Commission

After entering the Fox Tavern, there were really not many people in the tavern. According to Old York's prompt, Wayne saw the man sitting at the back door at a glance.

In his 40s, with short dark brown hair and a few scars on his face, he is not handsome, with a vicissitudes of life, simple clothes, and a strong figure.

If it wasn't for the sword on his back and the conspicuous vertical pupils of a witcher, perhaps telling others that he was just a stronger farmer, no one would doubt it.

Wayne didn't have stage fright, so he went directly to sit down opposite the man, facing Melissa who was dozing off on the counter, and shouted:
"Melissa, give me a few bottles of the best cherry mead in the store on this table, and some beef stew and game, and by the way, charge the account of the gentleman opposite to me."

Melissa, who was originally sitting on the counter, raised her head immediately after hearing the call, and when she saw that it was Wayne, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Although she was a little lame, she moved very nimbly, and quickly brought the food and wine that Wayne needed from the back kitchen.

And the man opposite Wayne, since Wayne sat down, has looked at him with a scrutiny, until Melissa placed a lot of good wine and food between the two tables, he and Wayne looked at each other and asked in a deep voice:
"My friend, what do you mean? Well, which school of witcher are you?"

The reason why he asked this question was because Wayne was not wearing any witcher equipment at this time, but was wearing a high-end silk shirt with a dagger hanging on his waist belt. Clean and tidy, and did not wear the school emblem unique to the witcher on his neck.

Apart from being able to see that he is a demon hunter from the amber vertical pupils, he looks more like a young and promising boy overall.

Wayne didn't answer right away, but took two wine glasses, poured two glasses of the best cherry nectar, then picked up a glass, gestured to the man opposite, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he smiled and said:
"I'm Wayne of the Wolf School, nice to meet you, friend."

"It's rare to meet a colleague, so I want to come over and get to know each other."

The man was silent for a second or two, then picked up another glass of cherry wine, drank it down, and said in a low voice:
"Griffin School, George, nice to meet you, Wayne of the Wolf School."

Everyone was an outcast witcher, and the wolf school had a pretty good reputation among the witchers, so George wasn't very wary of him.

Of course, there was another reason. Wayne looked too young, with a sunny and cheerful temperament, a gentle smile, and took the initiative to treat guests to dinner. It was hard to believe that he was a bad person.

Seeing that there were only some black bread and ordinary beer in front of George, Wayne guessed that his life must be quite poor, which is normal, and the demon hunters of the Griffin School are generally the kind of good people who only receive a small salary .

So he didn't continue to be polite, and directly pushed his bread away with beef and wild boar, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Eat some meat, George, Melissa's craftsmanship is very good. The guests who have eaten here always remember her craftsmanship."

And Melissa, who had been secretly keeping an eye on Wayne, also had a happy smile on her face after hearing this sentence.

Although he was a little surprised by Wayne's enthusiasm, George was not too polite. He smiled and nodded in response, then picked up a large piece of beef, and ate it happily with cherry mead.

After taking a few mouthfuls, he asked with some doubts:

"By the way, Wayne, did you just run into me here by chance, or did you come here specifically to find me?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. After Wayne came in, he came straight to him. It shouldn't be like a coincidence.

For this question, Wayne didn't need to hide anything, and answered directly:

"I came here specifically to find you, George, and it just so happened that the blacksmith shop you went to happened to be opened by my dwarf friend."

"I heard them talking about a demon hunter. I was very curious, so I came here to look for you."

After finishing these two sentences, Wayne went on to ask additionally:

"I heard that your next destination is Velen? And you also received a commission to hunt down the green dragon?"

George glanced at Wayne in surprise. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and explained:

"Yes, you heard it from the blacksmith in the blacksmith's shop."

"Actually, two years ago, I heard that a green dragon in Velen was harassing the local civilians, but at that time there was no accurate news, and no one offered a bounty for the green dragon. Everyone thought it was just a rumor. So it wasn’t taken too seriously.”

"And you know, we demon hunters generally don't hunt and kill these dragons with advanced intelligence."

"Until last month, I passed by Wayren again and found that the local baron had put a bounty on the green dragon. Although it was only three hundred Oren, I heard that five farmers had already died in the into the hands of the green dragon."

"That's why I will accept that commission."

Having said this, George picked up the flagon, poured himself a glass of kirsch, took a sip, and said:

"However, my silver sword was damaged in a previous battle, and in the poor place of Waylon, there is no good blacksmith who can repair our silver sword."

"I rushed to Vizima overnight and came to the big city just to find those highly skilled blacksmiths."

"It's a pity that their prices are too expensive. I spent all the money, but only enough to repair the silver sword. This is because their master blacksmith is willing to give me a discount, and I have no money to repair the armor for combat. "

Hearing George's nagging complaints, just like a middle-aged frustrated old man, Wayne smiled, but he felt deeply that the repair fee was too expensive, and the silver sword and armor were too delicate, almost Half of the wages of most demon hunters are used to repair their weapons and equipment.

It was also one of the reasons why he wanted to learn forging technology in the first place.

And according to his memory, when George of the Griffin School went to Velen to slay the dragon, he was seriously injured in his chest because of a life-and-death fight with the green dragon, and was finally stolen by a thief when he was dying. The potions and blueprints on his body are quite aggrieved.

In the end, only some blueprints of the Griffin School were left for the players.

Listening to him talk about this commission now, not only is the reward pitifully low, but the enemy is also very powerful. There are really some Griffin Schools who fight the strong and help the weak, and have a very chivalrous style of acting.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of eating and drinking, he also chatted with George about the knowledge of the Witcher School, and exchanged the recent situation of their respective schools, which can be regarded as gaining some knowledge.

Now that the talents of the Griffin School are withered, there seem to be only two or three people who are confirmed to be alive, and their base camp, in an avalanche planned by the warlocks, has been buried by heavy snow and turned into ruins.

Therefore, the remnants of the Griffin School did not gather once a year like the Wolf School did. They have been scattered all over the world, and it is not even clear whether other members are still alive.

This gave Wayne an idea. The Griffin School is good at using various seals and heavy armor like knight plate armor.

It is said that in the base camp of the Griffin School, the hidden magic knowledge is coveted even by warlocks, so the spell casting caused this avalanche when repeated attempts to borrow it were rejected, directly burying the master of the Griffin School. Some of the main members have caused the desolation of the Griffin School.

And what he is best at is casting spells. If he can get the magic knowledge that is useful to demon hunters from the Griffin School, it should be able to improve his strength.

And even if you don't go to the Kyle Siren Fortress in Bovis to find that knowledge, the Griffon school George in front of you is still a very good teacher.

But the question now is, how can George give his knowledge of the Griffin School to him, a demon hunter of another school.
