Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 16 Going Down the Mountain
Just when Wayne was thinking about whether to absorb this ring of elements.

The badge of the Wolf School on the stone table has been charged with magic. It looks the same as before, but if you look closely, you will find that the surface of this badge has been covered with a layer of strange luster that is faintly visible to the naked eye.

Geralt reached out to pick up the badge on the stone table and observed it for a while, then turned around and handed it to Wayne. As if he was relieved, he walked off the altar and said:

"Let's go, it's time to go back to the castle. I encountered a lot of things today, and there was a battle, which made my body smell like monsters."

"Let's get some game on the way, you haven't finished your training today, have you?"

Wayne nodded, looked back at the ring of elements with nostalgia, and sighed quietly in his heart.

He put the badge on his chest, followed Geralt's pace a few steps, and said:

"In my fishing trap, there should be some harvest. Let's pick some mushrooms in the forest and see if we can catch a few rabbits or roe deer."

"However, there is not much wine in the warehouse. There is still more than a month left before Spring. You can no longer drink without restraint like before."

………………

Winter went to spring, and when Wayne was preparing to go down the mountain, the time soon came to the spring of 1250.

Kaer Morhen is located in the Blue Mountains in the northeast of the Northern Kingdom, which belongs to the Kingdom of Kaedwen. Although the snow has not completely melted at this time, the weather is still very cold.

But the demon hunters who have lived in the castle for the whole winter must embark on a new journey and run around for their own lives.

Eskel and Lambert have already set off a few days earlier. They are going to the free city of Novigrad in the north this year to see if they can find a commission.

Now only Vesemir, Wayne and Geralt were left in the castle.

Today, Wayne and Geralt are also preparing to leave Kaer Morhen and set off for the northern kingdoms.

Regarding Wayne's departure, although the old witcher Vesemir didn't say anything, he was like an old man watching his child go far away. He not only prepared a set of [-]% new wolf-style witcher armor for Wayne, but also prepared a high-quality steel sword for him.

According to the old man, this is a steel sword he replaced when he was young. It is mixed with a lot of precious metals, and it is a good weapon.

It's just a memento now, it might as well be handed over to Wayne for use.

As for the silver sword and horse, these two things were too expensive. Even if Vesemir had some savings, he didn't have the financial resources. He had to work hard to prepare one for Wayne in advance.

At the gate of the castle, Geralt was leading a gray mare named Carrot, looking at Wayne and Vesemir who were talking with great interest.

The old witcher patted Wayne on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"My child, after you go down the mountain, you must act cautiously, and don't get involved in the conspiracy between those nobles or countries."

"We demon hunters must uphold the principle of neutrality, and we must not favor any one force."

"I have confidence in your talent and strength, but you are still young, you have to remember that sometimes, a human heart is more sinister than a ghost, and a villain is more vicious than a monster."

"Don't trust outsiders easily, be careful of the knife coming from behind."

Listening to Vesemir's nagging teachings, Wayne couldn't help feeling a warm current in his heart.

During the two years that Kaer Morhen spent with Vesemir, he could feel that the old man cared for him sincerely, taught him without reservation, and was almost the closest person to him in this world.

Although there is no blood relationship between them, the old witcher is like a real elder, loving and protecting his younger generation.

He stepped forward, hugged Vesemir gently, and said sincerely:

"Please rest assured, teacher, I will learn from Geralt and become an excellent witcher."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Wayne said, Vesemir said with a straight face:

"You just need to learn how to deal with all kinds of monsters. Gambling, whoring, spending money and other bad habits will harm you instead."

Hearing what the old witcher said, Wayne couldn't help laughing. He turned his head and glanced at Geralt who had turned into a bitter face, and then echoed:

"I see, teacher."

"It's getting late, we have to start early."

"Otherwise, we will have to spend the night in the forest tonight."

Vesemir patted Wayne's shoulder with some reluctance, and said goodbye:

"Okay, let's go, remember my words, don't trust others easily."

Wayne nodded seriously again, and then set off with Geralt under the watchful eyes of the old witcher.

The destination of this trip has not been determined yet, but the purpose of the demon hunters is to receive commissions and earn gold coins. They will first visit some nearby villages to see if there are any monsters that need to be cleaned up, and to get some war information by the way.

According to past experience, as long as there has been a war and there are casualties, those corpses will attract a large number of monsters to follow them, bringing danger to nearby humans.

If there is no war, they will go to the big cities in the north to look for opportunities. There are more rich people and complicated relationships, so it is easier to find jobs.

But this time, as a freshly-baked demon hunter, Wayne had to save more money to buy himself a mount and a silver sword. This is a must-have equipment for a demon hunter, and it's not cheap. It may take a long time to save.

Of course, this was Geralt's idea, but he didn't know that Wayne was richer than he imagined.

With the accumulation of these two years, in Wayne's system, there is still a professional-level treasure chest and more than 500 ordinary-level treasure chests that have not been used. Each treasure chest contains some coins, and the total amount must be quite considerable.

However, Wayne knew that the money came out of thin air after all. If Geralt had been by his side all the time, it would be difficult to explain when he got this huge sum of money.

Therefore, he had to find an opportunity to distract Geralt for a while and find an excuse for his gains.

However, this is something to think about after leaving Kaer Morhen.

Watched by the old witcher, Wayne followed Geralt, led the mare full of luggage, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
