Chapter 76 Farewell
Returning to the shore, looking at the empty wooden boat, Wayne suddenly realized that he forgot one thing, without the King Fisherman driving the boat for him, he would not even be able to leave Black Tern Island.

Just when he was at his wit's end and was considering whether to return to the forest and ask the Fisherman King for help, the old man walked out of the forest with steady steps.

The old man first looked at Wayne seriously several times with somewhat unclear eyes, as if he was something rare, then he drove the boat without saying a word, and took Wayne away from the island in the middle of the lake.

By the time Wayne returned to Marsh Village from Black Tern Island by boat, and then returned to Vizima City on horseback from Marsh Village, it was just in time for the sun to rise and the gates of the city to open, so that he would not be foolishly waiting outside the city.

When he got home, Wayne couldn't wait to start boiling water, ready to take a hot bath. After each battle, although the blood stains outside the armor were easier to deal with, the blood that seeped into the armor always made him feel uncomfortable.

Not only is it wet, like countless tentacles crawling on his body, but it also has a disgusting smell, which always lingers in his keen sense of smell.

But there was no way, he was engaged in this kind of killing profession, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, it was better than Geralt going into the sewer to deal with those water ghosts covered in feces.

With the end of the Goddess of the Lake incident, Wayne's life has gradually entered the right track. In addition to completing some ordinary commissions received sporadically, helping Levardon and some other loggers clean up the monsters that attacked them.

What I do most on weekdays is to go to Master O. Henry's blacksmith shop to learn various forging techniques, buy various daily items for my home, and build other necessary daily facilities.

After nearly a month and a half like this, Wayne managed to burn money regardless of the cost, wasting a lot of materials, not only learned the forging technique, but also upgraded it to the second level.

Forging LV2: Forging success rate +2, quality improvement +2.

And Lala, the little earth spirit who learned magic from the goddess of the lake, also returned to her home a week later.

Then, together with her parents and elder brother, they came to Wayne's house from the mouth of the well, and made a special trip to present the reward for the last entrustment, as well as sincere thanks.

Lala's father, Cruz, not only gave Wayne a small bag of carefully polished precious gems as a reward, but also gave Wayne a special magic item.

"Mr. Wayne, this is a magic jug I found while exploring an ancient ruin. It is a gift I carefully selected for you."

Cruz sent a flat wine jug that seemed to be made of silver, with various magical inscriptions engraved on the bottle, to Wayne's hand, and said sincerely:
"You are a demon hunter and you often have to perform commissions in the wild. You will definitely like this gift very much."

"This magic wine jug can hold four different drinks in total, and because of the special magic, each drink can hold about as much weight as a whole wine barrel."

"Not only that, but as long as those drinks enter the flagon, they will no longer be affected by the outside temperature. That is to say, if you fill it with hot water, even after a year, as long as you pour it out again, it will still be hot water."

Having said that, Cruz touched his beard with some reluctance, and said with emotion:
"I don't know which magic master this magic item is from."

"It contains not only space magic, but also time magic, and the magic inscription on it is not any of our current fonts."

"I have studied for a long time and checked many ancient books, but I still have no clue. Sometimes I even suspect that it is not something from this world."

Having said that, he nodded gratefully to Wayne again, and said:
"However, you are the savior of my son and the patron of the goddess of the lake. I am willing to present this treasure to you."

Wayne picked up the flagon and observed it carefully, and then couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He was sure that this magic flagon was not a product of the wizard's home world, but must be a magic item that traveled from other worlds due to a certain celestial body collision.

Because the style of this jug is the classic shape that was very popular in the [-]th century on the earth.

And the magic inscription engraved on the flagon is very similar to the legendary rune script.

It's just that with these two points, Wayne can't be sure which magical world this jug comes from.

After some testing, Wayne found that this is indeed a very practical magic item, although because of the size of the bottle mouth, things that are too large cannot be stuffed into the jug.

However, as long as liquids such as various hot water, fine wine, cold drinks or potions enter this flagon, it will be as if time has stopped, and no other changes will occur until it is poured out.

It is simply the perfect tool for home travel.

And Wayne also discovered that after being treated by the Goddess of the Lake, Lala's older brother, Fitz, has indeed gotten rid of the influence of the evil god.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing in disguise, but after the general transformation of the evil god, the little land spirit Fitz is not only much stronger than his peers in terms of physical strength, but also grows gill-like tissues on the side of his cheeks, possessing the ability to live amphibiously, and the octopus tentacles on the chin no longer grow.

Perhaps in the future, when Fitz grows up, even without relying on magical abilities, this little guy can defeat other enemies with his body and martial arts.

And Wayne also got news from Cruz that several other survivors who were rescued from the murloc lair were sent to the swamp village by them, but they did not persevere.

After persisting for a few days, he finally left this world accompanied by his relatives.

Perhaps, compared to being a servant of the evil god, being a pawn of the evil god and being able to die by the side of relatives is considered a blessing in misfortune.

After living in Vizima City for nearly two months, Wayne gradually got used to this medieval life.

Because of his appearance, apart from the conspicuous amber cat pupils, he looks like a handsome and strong elf boy, and because he doesn't have to run around under the pressure of life, in fact, his status as a witcher didn't have much impact on him.

After all, in the city of Vizima, Wayne lived a very low-key life. He always circulated among a few acquaintances. Each commission was basically an introduction by an acquaintance, and the client would show considerable respect for his identity as a demon hunter.

Gradually, Geralt let go of his worries about Wayne, and didn't have to worry about the dangers this young apprentice would encounter in the city.

And on a certain night, Geralt the White Wolf formally bid farewell to Wayne.

"Wayne, I've been in Vizima long enough."

"The commissions here have basically been cleaned up by us, and you have lived a fairly stable life."

"In a few days, I'm going to leave here and go to some countries further west to see if there are other jobs."

Wayne, who was sharing dinner with Geralt, raised his eyebrows, not too surprised. The two had already agreed on this matter, and it was only today that Geralt brought it up.

He thought for a few seconds, then nodded, and suggested:
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you."

"However, Geralt, we have lived in our new home for nearly a month, and we haven't held any celebrations yet."

"The day after tomorrow, I'm going to hold a dinner party at home, and I'll invite some of our friends to join us. It happens to be your practical banquet. I hope you don't refuse."

Geralt nodded upon hearing that, and responded in a hoarse voice:

"That's fine, that's it. I just saved some money, and I need to prepare supplies for the trip before I leave."
