Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 126 Recruiting Berengar
With the help of intermediate healing potions, Berengar's injury was quickly stabilized, but his body was still very weak. When he woke up, it was already the next day.

Because everyone was not close to him, Eskel took the initiative to take care of him, and took care of him all night by the fireplace in the hall.

When it was time for breakfast, Eskel supported Berengar, who was already awake, and came to the dining table to eat with everyone.

Although the words were a bit blunt and his voice was hoarse and dry, the man still sincerely expressed his gratitude to everyone, including Wayne's gift of the healing potion.

However, he still seemed very unaccustomed to getting along with people. Even when he was eating the delicious food cooked by Wayne, his expression seemed to be chewing wax. He lowered his head and ate silently the whole time, without showing much joy.

And because of his existence, everyone was not as open-minded as before when talking, and the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed a little dull.

But this scene didn't last long. After breakfast, Berengar took the initiative to bid farewell, and as in the past, he only stayed in his room all day long, and no longer appeared in front of everyone casually.

And in this winter, Kaer Morhen didn't have any other incidents. The brothers of the wolf school have nothing to do to play Gwent cards, practice swordsmanship, or learn to consolidate demon hunting in Kaer Morhen's library. Let's share knowledge about monsters with each other at the dinner table, about each other's experiences over the past year.

When other people knew that Geralt spent most of the year with a sorceress named Yennefer, they all showed great curiosity and kept asking about the details of White Wolf's life. I also vaguely felt that the sorceress Yennefer's strong character and extreme desire for control.

But seeing Geralt's appearance of enjoying it, everyone didn't say anything more, and could only silently give blessings in their hearts.

In daily life, Wayne, as the youngest of the demon hunters, took the initiative to take over all the cooking work. Geralt was responsible for hunting and obtaining game and wild vegetables. Vesemir was also very interested and took Wayne's previous The remaining vegetable field was refurbished and some vegetables that could grow in winter were replanted.

As for chores such as chopping firewood and raising horses, fishing and snow removal, and repairing the castle, Lambert and Eskel took care of them.

Everyone is like a real family, sharing all the housework and living a quiet and peaceful life.

However, in addition to practicing swordsmanship, learning knowledge, cooking food, and taming the little direwolf White Fang by using animal taming skills, Wayne has another job.

That is, when eating every day, give Berengar a copy, and help him change the herbs and bandages on his body by the way.

According to what Vesemir told him in private, Berengar is actually a hard-working person, well, it should be said that most demon hunters are hard-working people.

This person was a child he had rescued from the robber's den. His parents had been killed by the robbers, and because he had no relatives, he was brought back to Kaermohan by Vesemir.

And among the eight children who were trained in the same batch as him and grew up together, only Berengar successfully completed all the trials and survived, but it was also the lowest level of genetic mutation experiments.

That experiment not only made him lose the ability to reproduce, but also lost all his friends of the same age, but also because of various physical and mental stimulation, his personality became very extreme.

And because the effect of genetic mutation is not ideal, among all the current wolf school demon hunters, Berengar's strength is the weakest.

Even outside the castle, he encountered much more difficulties than ordinary demon hunters when carrying out various demon hunter commissions.

Speaking of this, Vesemir also sighed, and he told Wayne:

"In retrospect, I'm not sure whether it was right or wrong to bring him back to Kaer Morhen and make him a witcher? This may have caused him more pain than making him a wandering orphan .”

Others may not know about this, but Wayne, who has played a generation of games, knows that Berengar really hates the identity of a demon hunter. He longs to become an ordinary person, get married and have children, and have his own family. dream.

Decades later, the reason why Berengar revealed Kaer Morhen's information was because he had been tortured by the Salamanders for a long time, and he had to make a choice when his life was threatened.

After meeting Geralt, he also sacrificed his life against the Warlocks of the Salamanders.

After all, for many demon hunters, life is too hard. Not only do they always have to face the danger of monsters, physical pain, but also the strange eyes of others.

Moreover, they are all long-lived long-lived species. If there is no accident, this torture may last for hundreds of years.

At dinner that day, Wayne held his fluffy white teeth and pushed open the door of Berengar's room with a dinner.

But he found that the man who had been silent all this time was packing his luggage. Although he only had a few old clothes, he was ready to leave.

After seeing Wayne come in, he pursed his lips, nodded silently to Wayne, and did not speak.

Wayne put the food on the table, looked at Berengar who had not recovered from his injuries, thought for a while, and although he felt a little presumptuous, he still said:
"Berengar, are you going to leave alone tomorrow?"

Berengar paused for a second, but quickly returned to normal. He nodded, his voice was hoarse and weak, and said:
"Yes, I'm going to leave tomorrow."

Seeing that it was so, Wayne sighed in his heart, he had no choice but to express his thoughts before the person left.

"It's too dangerous for you to leave Kaer Morhen now. Not only are your injuries still unhealed, you've lost all your equipment, horses and supplies, and the heavy snow has just melted, and the weather outside is still very bad. With your current body Depending on the situation, you might faint halfway through."

Berengar heard the words, looked up at Wayne, still paused for a few seconds, and then said:
"I know, but I still want to leave as soon as possible."

Seeing that the other party was a bit out of touch, Wayne was silent for a while, and said straight to the point:

"Berengar, do you no longer want to be a witcher and want to get rid of this kind of life?"

Hearing Wayne's words, Berengar's movements seemed to froze. He slowly raised his head, and his original cold expression became more vivid. Looking at Wayne, he asked:

"Why would you think that, um, Wayne?"

Wayne touched the direwolf cub in his arms, found a chair in Berengar's room and sat down, and then said:

"Vesemir told me about your experience. Your life is always full of suffering. Since childhood, misfortune has always been with you."

"It's not surprising to have this kind of thinking, and many demon hunters have struggled with this issue for a long time."

"It's just that you are more obvious."

Berengar lowered his head slightly, sighed, and said:

"Wayne, you're still young."

"When you have been a demon hunter like me for decades, you still can't eat enough, you can't sleep well, you have no relatives, no friends, and you help those troublesome people clean up monsters. Not only did you not pay, but you were also punished When they besieged and almost died."

"You'll see why I loathe being a witcher so much."

Wayne nodded when he heard the words. He probably understood the pain of this kind of encounter in his heart, but he was born with his own system. Even if the employer in reality didn't pay enough, he couldn't be short of money, and couldn't experience this miserable life.

After a few seconds of silence, Wayne considered his tone and said straightforwardly:
"In this case, Berengar, are you willing to work for me? Work for a long time, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, until you want to retire."

"You don't need to worry about the trivial matters of life anymore, and you don't have to face all kinds of battles with monsters every day. I even have a way to help you hide your identity as a demon hunter, so that you can live a life similar to that of ordinary people."

"As long as you are loyal to me and will not betray me, maybe your dream life can come true."

Berengar was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Wayne to say such a thing.

In his imagination, he thought it would be a scene of two demon hunters confiding and comforting each other, but why did it suddenly become like this.

He was stunned for more than ten seconds before asking in a hoarse voice:
"You hired me? I remember you just became a witcher this year."

"What did you hire me for? Are we going to carry out the commission together?"

Wayne tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:

"For the time being, it's a job like bodyguard or guard, safe and stable. Maybe sometimes you will be my helper and carry out some tasks with me."

"I will also take care of the equipment and horses for you. You don't need to communicate with the employer, and you don't need to deal with those troublemakers. I will handle all the matters, and you don't have to worry about the treatment."

Speaking, Wayne showed a confident and gentle smile, and said:

"To be honest, I may not have as much experience as you when it comes to performing tasks, but when it comes to making money, that's what I'm best at."

"If you promise me, your recent work place should be near Vizima City. You don't need to travel around anymore, and you can live a stable life in that city for a few years."

Hearing this, Berengar stared at Wayne for tens of seconds. He didn't know what kind of struggle and thinking he had gone through in his mind. In the end, he asked with some difficulty:
"Why me? We are neither familiar, you have no friendship?"

"Maybe you didn't even know my name until last month."

"How did you trust me so easily?"

Wayne also sighed when he heard the words, his expression became serious and he said:
"I didn't trust you completely, Berengar, I just gave you a chance."

"We are all demon hunters, and we are all wolf school demon hunters. We are born to help each other. If you don't betray my trust in the end, what I get is a good brother who can entrust his life."

"And if I was wrong, what I lost is only a little money."

"So the most important thing is whether you are willing to give yourself a chance and try to believe me."
