Without the obstruction of the conspirators, things went much more smoothly.

Before going to bed at night, Triss asked Wayne many details about the curse and the murderer, and also told him the results of the interrogation.

Ostrett was indeed the murderer of this incident. Through magic, Foltest also extracted from him a list of several nobles who had helped him to fuel this incident. It would not be long before these people would be brought to justice by the king.

As the murderer of the queen and princess, Baron Ostrit will be severely punished and his title will be revoked. His family will also be implicated. Even his relatives will probably hate this fat man who has nothing to do with anything.

Wayne was not surprised by this result, but Triss was very happy. She lay on Wayne's chest, drawing circles with her fingers, and said with a happy expression:

"Honey, you shouldn't have left so quickly. I really should have let you see the expression on that damn fat guy's face. He was crying and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. He was just like a coward."

"In the past, this fat pig was an arrogant and stupid bastard. He looked down upon anyone except the nobles. He even said in public that sorceresses were bitches. If it weren't for King Foltest who regarded him as a friend and intended to protect him."

"I have already put a curse on him and turned him into a real pig."

The red-haired beauty's tone was quite angry, which was consistent with the fact that she had suffered a lot from Ostrett on a daily basis.

"It's a pity that His Majesty trusted the wrong person. It was this trusted friend who led to the death of the queen and the princess."

As she spoke, she hugged Wayne's arm and asked with concern, "Are you sure about tomorrow night's operation? Do you really not need me to go in with you to assist you?"

Wayne reached out and pinched Mengte's cheek, which earned a roll of the eyes from the sorceress. She smiled and said:

"All we have to do is drive the vampire bird out of its coffin and prevent it from returning before sunrise, right?"

"I'm very confident about this, but I'm a little curious. If I use a bomb to blow up its coffin and shatter it into pieces, will it be destined to be freed from the curse?"

………………

At dusk the next day, Wayne said goodbye to Triss and King Foltest who were waiting outside, and walked into the royal crypt in the old Vizima Palace alone.

As a royal tomb, it is decorated quite luxuriously. However, since the royal palace moved out a few years ago, all the royal coffins here were also moved to the royal tomb in New Vizima.

Today, only a single magnificent sarcophagus remains, still standing alone in a tomb chamber, and no one dares to touch it.

Because that is the coffin where the former Princess Yada, now the vampire bird, lies.

Around this coffin, there were dozens of human skeletons that had been eaten until only the bones were left. Scattered around the coffin, no one dared to come in and reclaim them.

After Wayne walked into the tomb, he came to the center of the tomb with ease. He took a look at the princess' coffin, which was silent at dusk, then closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, let go of his perception, and entered a state of meditation.

This was not his first time here. Since no one dared to come in to transport the steel cage, he had run back and forth here more than ten times and spent a lot of time setting up traps.

Now everything is ready, all that’s left is waiting.

In the meditative state, time passed quickly and the sunlight outside the tomb disappeared completely without him noticing. After meditating for a few hours, Wayne suddenly heard some sounds of sharp nails scratching the stone coffin.

He opened his eyes and looked.

Sure enough, the princess' coffin not far away moved. The heavy stone coffin lid was pushed open a little, and several sharp black claws stretched out from the crack in the coffin, grabbing the coffin lid and moving it little by little. At the same time, there was a wild-animal-like panting coming from the crack in the coffin, as if a terrifying monster was walking out of its lair.

The harsh sound and the unknown monster seemed quite terrifying in the cold and silent tomb.

Wayne was not afraid of this situation at all.

He only brought the Statik Electric Blade hanging on his waist for this operation. Not to mention that this vampire bird was no match for him at all, even if the monster wanted to fight him to the death, the demon hunter with ancient blood was basically invincible when it came to escaping.

Now that there was plenty of time, Wayne reached out and put on an enhanced version of the Quinn shield, and then cast an Aden magic circle on the ground that could bind monsters.

Then he folded his hands across his chest, quietly looked at the vampire bird in the coffin, pushed open the heavy coffin lid above his head with great effort, and poked his head out of the coffin.

This monster has an ugly head, fierce eyes, a bloody mouth, sharp fangs, black rotten skin, exposed muscles covered with a layer of foul-smelling mucus, long limbs, and nails like sharp sickles. Only some hair grows on its head, making it look quite scary.

After seeing this monster, Wayne instinctively felt a little disgusted. It was hard to imagine that inside the body of this man-eating monster was a princess who was less than ten years old and the only heir to the Kingdom of Temeria.

After the vampire bird crawled out of the coffin, it suddenly saw Wayne standing not far away. It seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then it roared excitedly as if it had seen a delicious meal.

It didn't think at all, or it was a monster with low intelligence. After seeing the food right in front of it, it immediately kicked its feet, opened its sharp claws, opened its bloody mouth, drooled, and pounced towards Wayne.

Facing the monster's attack, Wayne remained calm. He accumulated chaos magic power in his hands and waited until the monster rushed in front of him.

His figure disappeared in an instant like a phantom and appeared behind the monster. To be precise, he appeared above the monster's back.

Without any hesitation, Wayne used the Alder Seal in his hand to instantly strike the monster from top to bottom on the back. The huge impact force knocked the monster to the ground, as if it was pressed to the ground by an invisible hand and could not move at all.

The Aden magic circle on the ground immediately played a binding role. The invisible pulling force made the vampire bird seem to be tied to the ground. Every move became extremely difficult, and it couldn't help but let out a painful roar.

After a successful attack, Wayne did not stop his actions. He looked up and took a quick look at the huge steel cage hanging on the top of the tomb. After making sure that it had completely covered the vampire bird below and would not crush it to death, he instantly drew the dagger at his waist and cut the thick hemp rope tied to the wall.

With the sound of rollers turning, a steel cage weighing several tons fell from the sky, trapping the vampire woman trapped in the Arden magic circle below.

At this time, the vampire bird in the cage also broke free from the restraints of the Aden Seal. It stood up, roared angrily at Wayne outside the cage, and kept waving its claws to attack the cage that trapped it.

Unfortunately, these iron bars, which are as thick as arms, are very strong, and the entire cage weighs several tons. Even with the vampire bird's amazing strength, it still cannot destroy it.

Wayne walked to the cage and carefully observed the condition of the vampire bird. After confirming that it could not escape from the cage, he condensed the chaos magic power and released another Aden Seal on the ground to bind it, making its movements more difficult and consuming the monster's physical strength.

Under the persuasion of Triss and Keira, King Foltest finally decided to just wait outside the tomb and wait for the outcome.

So Wayne no longer needs to spend time inviting the king in and protecting him.

He only needed to sit next to this steel cage, guard the vampire bird inside, replenish the Aden Sign from time to time, and then teach this monster a lesson when it got too aggressive.

Things went smoothly, perhaps because Wayne dealt with the curse early on, and the vampire bird was not as powerful as when Geralt dealt with it a few years later.

Although the monster was trapped in an iron cage and kept struggling and resisting, it could do nothing in the end.

It was not until several hours later that the sun rose, the roosters crowed, and sunlight shone in through the windows of the tomb.

The vampire in the steel cage shrank into a ball under the sunlight, lying on the ground. Her skin and muscles all turned into black pus. The monster's body slowly shrank until a thin, naked girl was revealed inside.

However, with the previous experience that Geralt's throat was almost torn by the vampire bird, Wayne did not let down his guard. He stood up, put on a layer of Quen shield, then picked up a wooden stick on the ground, walked to the cage, and poked the child's body with his hand.

Seeing that she didn't react, he simply turned her over with a wooden stick so that her face was exposed to the sunlight.

At this moment, the little loli suddenly opened her eyes, opened her bloodshot mouth, and bit the wooden stick that Wayne stretched out, causing wood chips to fly all over the stick. She then pulled out the stick with a pair of tender hands with considerable force.

However, this was just a last-ditch effort. Wayne did not pull out the stick, but let her bite the stick a few times like a puppy, leaving many scratches with her fingernails. Until the sunlight completely enveloped her body, the thin loli fainted completely.
