Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 51 Probing
In the early hours of the morning, the world fell into darkness, only the cold moonlight outlined everything on the ground.

In the entire new city and old city of Vizima, apart from scattered lights, there were only a few teams of guards holding torches, patrolling the streets back and forth.

Without anyone noticing, a figure wearing dark tight clothing, a black kerchief covering his face, and carrying a silver sword walked out from the slum area.

This person was of course Wayne. In order to find out the truth about the house he had been fancying during the day, he deliberately disguised himself and found Geralt to borrow his silver sword.

After all, that house still belongs to the City Hall, so you can't just break in without any reason.

And if he solves the troubles in the house with great fanfare, maybe the city hall will temporarily change its mind and raise the price of the house.

So the purpose of Wayne's trip was just to go in and confirm whether he could solve the problems in this house.

If the trouble was within his reach, he could save a lot of money.

Because he had taken the potion in advance, the dark environment had no effect on his actions. Wayne moved forward, avoiding the sight of all the patrolling teams, and soon reached his destination.

This is a two-story brick and stone house similar to a private villa, with a front yard and a back yard, and a wall more than two meters high. The overall area is about [-] square meters, and it looks quite grand.

However, compared with those houses with their own storefronts, the location of this house is relatively remote. The entrance and exit are not on the main street, and it is almost close to the city wall of New Vizima, only separated by a passage with a width of a few meters.

Wayne observed around the house, and after confirming that no one saw it, he climbed up with his strength, followed the position of the gate, and easily climbed in.

The front yard of the house is a garden with a lot of flowers and plants, and for the sake of beauty, the workers also built a wooden gazebo and a small pond in the yard.

Wayne walked around the garden in the front yard. He didn't see anything strange, and his wolf school badge didn't respond, so there should be no problem.

So, he came to the main entrance of the house, pushed it back, and found that the main entrance was locked, and all the windows on the first floor were closed, making it impossible to enter.

However, this was nothing to the witcher. After half a circle around the house, he saw the balcony on the second floor.

It was a semi-circular open-air balcony, about three meters above the ground. The former owner of the house still placed several pots of beautiful flowers on the balcony.

This height may be quite difficult for ordinary people, and they must use a ladder to go up.

But at this time, Wayne was not wearing armor, and he was lightly dressed, and he was already tall. He just raised his hands, charged up slightly, and then jumped up suddenly, and his arms firmly grasped the edge of the open-air balcony.

After turning over, Wayne found that the balcony was connected to the master bedroom of the house, and the furniture inside was [-]% new and looked quite high-end.

It is very likely that his master chose to leave directly after encountering various accidents, without taking all the items here.

However, Wayne didn't pay attention to these foreign objects. After entering the house, he immediately raised his vigilance and began to explore the house cautiously.

If it's just mischievous little earth spirits in the house, or non-lethal curses, that's easier to fix.

But if it is an evil spirit, it will be a little troublesome.

Because demon spirits are collectively referred to as a kind of monster, but their strength varies. A powerful demon spirit can even slaughter an entire army, while a weak demon spirit has difficulty even appearing.

The reason for the creation of this monster has not received a unified answer, but most scholars and warlocks believe that when some intelligent life has extremely strong negative emotions and dies at a special time and place, then there is a certain chance of becoming a demon spirit.

Wayne searched the house for nearly an hour, found the first floor from the second floor, found the kitchen from the bedroom, and searched almost every corner of the house, but still did not find anything unusual.

Even his witcher senses and the magic badge on his chest didn't respond, which made him frown normally.

There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur, either the problem here is very big, beyond his ability, and he cannot detect it.

Or, there isn't much of a problem here, and the previous buyers were probably just accidents due to various coincidences.

However, compared to the former, Wayne didn't believe in coincidences even more, and searched the house again, but still found nothing.

Wayne left the house, ready to continue searching in the backyard.

Compared with the small garden in the front yard, the backyard is wider, about [-] pings.

However, because the new city has just been built, these houses have not been fully completed. At this time, the backyard is just an enclosed wasteland. Except for a deep well dug in the center of the backyard, the rest of the place is quite flat. It can be said that it can be seen at a glance without any abnormalities.

Therefore, Wayne's eyes were instinctively attracted by the deep well.

With an inquiring mind, he cautiously approached the well made of bricks and stones.

This is the kind of shape specially designed for large families. The width of the well head is close to 1.2 meters. A wooden roof is built above it to block debris. A metal rotating rod is fixed at the well head, which can control the rope and pick up the well water from below.

However, this time, as soon as he approached the mouth of the well, Wayne immediately noticed the abnormality.

In his keen senses, there was actually a slight airflow flowing outward from the mouth of the well, blowing on his skin with a slight coolness.

Rather than an almost closed space like a general well.

With such doubts, Wayne looked down from above the well.

It was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything. Even with the blessing of the cat's eye potion, he could only be sure that the space under the wellhead was quite large, and there was indeed air flow, even a breeze.

The witcher's keen sense of hearing and touch told Wayne that this well was not an ordinary well dug into the aquifer to get water through infiltration.

This water well was directly dug out of the rock formation on the surface, connected to the underground river at a depth of more than ten meters below, and directly used the underground river water through wooden barrels.

That's why there is a considerable space under the well, as well as the air flow driven by the underground river.

Moreover, Wayne also smelled some kind of monster from the mouth of the well. Although it cannot be confirmed, there are indeed traces of some kind of monster.

With this discovery, Wayne also had some guesses about the whole thing.

Perhaps it was precisely because this underground river was connected to a certain mysterious place that some kind of monster or demon spirit entered the house through the mouth of the well, which caused many accidents to the original buyer.

However, that monster should not be regarded as dangerous for the time being, because he did not cause life-threatening to the original buyer. I don't know if it is not capable enough, or it does not want to do so.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Wayne found that there were three solutions in front of him.

The first method is the simplest, directly setting up a magic circle to seal the mouth of the well, isolating the channel between the monster and the ground, even if he wants to do something else, he can only pass through other places.

The second method is more stupid and more traditional, that is to sit and wait. He can spend a few days guarding near the mouth of the well, hiding, and there should be a certain chance of encountering the monster crawling out of the well.

The last method is more risky, that is to jump into the well, follow the underground river directly to find the mysterious area connected by the river, and solve the problem at the source of the matter.

And as it happens, he also got the Hekna Talisman, which allows him to breathe underwater and swim faster.

The only thing worth considering is, with his strength, whether he can defeat that unknown monster, or negotiate amicably with it to resolve this issue.

Thinking of this, Wayne looked at the sky. It was still late at night and early in the morning. The moon had already set in half, and there were still about four or five hours before dawn.

He thought about it, and still sighed. If this was in the game, maybe Wayne would not hesitate to jump into the well to challenge the monster.

But now it is the real world, which can neither be archived nor revived. Wayne feels that he can't take risks and must be safe.

So, after thinking about it for a few minutes, Wayne stood up, went back to the house, went to the room on the second floor near the backyard, sat by the window, and quietly observed the position of the wellhead through the window.

He hoped that he would be lucky enough to wait for the guy who threw himself into the trap.

(Seeing that some book friends have some disputes about the plot, I made a science popularization in the elite post in the comment area. Most readers should have only played the game and don’t know the original novel, so there may be some misunderstandings. I hope that after reading my science popularization, they will understand the plot better, okay!)
