In the evening, Wayne had just returned to Triss's family mansion when the red-haired sorceress came over. Although she asked Wayne where he had been, her vague and ambiguous eyes, her cool and attractive outfit, and the alluring rose scent emanating from her body all revealed Triss's restless heart.
Apparently, the short pleasure in the afternoon did not satisfy the red-haired beauty, and she was different from Kayla, who liked romance and luxury and had a somewhat strong personality.
Miss Triss, who is obviously older and became a royal advisor earlier, has a personality more like a clingy kitten. She is a little docile, a little naughty, and always has a kind of pleasing teasing. She prefers to be close to others and likes the feeling of being loved by others.
Wayne opened the door and let Triss, who was wearing a purple-red light silk coat, into his room before answering:
"It's nothing, Triss. It's just that after taking a shower, I felt that my spellcasting ability seemed to be stronger than before. Even the power of the Demon Hunter Seal I cast has improved significantly, so I went to the wild to test it out."
Originally, Triss's eyes were always on Wayne's strong body, her face slightly flushed, thinking about what was going to happen in the evening, and her whole body felt a little hot.
However, after hearing what Wayne said, the sorceress's professionalism made her mind clear again. She subconsciously used her perception talent to explore Wayne's body, and then said in surprise:
"Oh my god, Wayne, it turns out you have such an affinity for chaos magic and such a high talent for magic!"
"I didn't realize it before. My God, when it comes to talent, most students in the magic academy can't compare to you."
Before professional testing, even Triss could not tell that Wayne had become a source warlock. She just instinctively realized that the man in front of her had a large amount of chaos magic gathered in his body, and the amount of this magic reserve far exceeded the magic reserve of an ordinary demon hunter.
When Triss thought of her terrible performance in front of Wayne in the afternoon and her magically sensitive physique, her face turned slightly red again.
Although Wayne was not proficient in the professional knowledge of warlocks, the large number of books in Kaer Morhen allowed him to understand chaos magic better than ordinary people, and understand the difference between warlocks and ordinary people.
After thinking for a few seconds, Wayne said in a tone of sudden enlightenment, "Perhaps, I also have the talent of a warlock. However, because I became a demon hunter too early, the gene mutation experiment caused my body to change. Only now have I begun to awaken my talent as a warlock."
"Speaking of which, I am already eighteen years old this year. As a half-elf, I may be born to awaken a little later than humans."
"Ah! Eighteen."
Upon hearing this, Triss could not help but let out another exclamation, because they had not met each other for long enough, and Wayne was a witcher whose real age could not be seen. In addition, Wayne's mature and steady style of doing things, she always thought that the witcher in front of her was at least thirty years old. Unexpectedly, this time she was the old cow eating young grass.
Thinking of her infatuated appearance in the bathtub, Triss even felt a little ashamed, but soon more excitement came up and entangled her heart.
Her head was a little confused and her body was hot, but she still used the magic knowledge she had learned to instinctively explain:
"According to common sense, children with magical talents will have their bodies deformed or undergo even more horrific changes due to the chaotic magic that accumulates in their bodies since childhood."
"Until the chaotic magic power stored in the body reaches its limit, it will suddenly explode under some stimulation, often causing irreversible tragedy."
"If they don't have professional teachers to guide them, they usually have a very difficult life."
"Perhaps, it is because of the Demon Hunter's experiment that you have been trained in the Demon Hunter's Seal since you were a child. Although the Demon Hunter's Seal is not a real spell at all, it can effectively help you relieve the chaotic magic stored in your body, so that your body will not be distorted due to the accumulation of chaotic magic."
Although this explanation has some errors and omissions, it is in line with the rules mastered by the warlocks.
Hearing that Triss had already helped him to make a self-consistent defense, Wayne said with a slightly flattering smile, "Maybe that's it. By the way, Triss, since I have the talent to become a warlock, can you teach me some knowledge about magic?"
"Of course, this is not free. If possible, I hope you can be my magic teacher. Things like compensation are easy to discuss. You should also be familiar with my character."
"I will consider your request carefully, Wayne."
"Hehe, but if you want to become my apprentice, you have to work harder and convince me."
………………
After a night of hard work, Wayne's efforts were not in vain.
The sorceress agreed that after returning to Vizima, Wayne could go to her study every day to read her collection of magic books, and if he had any questions about magic, Triss would answer them for him.
But this is not free. At least when Wayne stays at her house, he has to take care of the dinner problem.
Wayne certainly did not refuse this request to take his relationship with Triss to the next level.
Although becoming a powerful warlock often requires more than several decades of study, he is confident in his talent as a source warlock. As a patron of chaos magic, a source warlock grows many times faster than an ordinary warlock.
Moreover, he has the help of the system. I believe that it won’t be long before he can stand at the top of the demon hunter world with his personal strength.
However, Wayne was very clear about one thing: it would be better for him not to let anyone know that he had become a source warlock, let alone that he had awakened the talent of ancient blood.
No matter which one of these two things is, they are treasures that are highly coveted by others. Even if his strength is strong enough, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. As long as he is exposed to the ambitious people, he will be involved in all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues.
The next day, Wayne accompanied Triss for a stroll in Maribor City and bought the red-haired beauty some jewelry and gifts that she liked. The two of them enjoyed a wonderful holiday like a young couple who had just fallen in love.
In the evening, the two attended a dinner at the Duke of Maripo's house. The Duke of Maripo, who was nearly fifty years old and obese, expressed his appreciation for Triss and Wayne's efficiency in solving this difficult case in just one day, and gave the reward for the task to Triss.
What surprised Wayne was that Triss did not receive much compensation, only about one thousand orens, which was not commensurate with the status of a royal advisor to a sorceress.
But afterwards, Triss told him that the gold was only the superficial reward, and the real big payout was actually the shares in the mine.
After learning about the power of the Deer-Headed Spirit, Duke Maripo gave up 5% of his shares in the mine and traded them to Triss. The price was that any safety issues that arose in the mine in the future must be resolved by the sorceress, and as soon as possible.
If in the future, when Triss dies, or she no longer has the ability to protect the mine, these shares will be reclaimed.
Five percent of the mineral shares may not seem like much, but as a fairly large mine near Maripo, these shares would pay out more than two hundred orens in dividends each year. As long as she held on to them long enough, they would bring her a steady stream of income, which was already a very generous reward.
Triss was a kind and generous lady. She knew that her contribution in this mission could not be compared with Wayne's, so she directly paid all the 1,000 Orens in cash to Wayne as a reward for this mission, while she herself held the mining shares that required her to assume certain obligations.
Wayne had no objection to this. Instead, he truly felt Triss's kindness. She was much better than those black-hearted bosses, and they truly shared the blessings.
Compared to the one thousand orens he earned in a few days, the other demon hunters who could only take money from farmers and were often defaulted on were simply too miserable.
Of course, spending a thousand orens to eliminate a powerful deer-headed monster is not a losing deal. If ordinary soldiers are sent to deal with this monster, the cost will probably be many times what it is now.
