When they learned that the former Wolf School Academy Kaermohen had also suffered attacks from mobs and warlocks, and was now starving of talent with less than ten Wolf School Witchers left, everyone looked at each other in silence, a feeling of sympathy arose in their hearts.
Not only that, Wayne also told Letho about the Griffin School. When these three Viper School demon hunters heard that the once most famous Griffin School was also conquered by warlocks and now only two or three demon hunters were left, they couldn't help but clench their fists with gloomy expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking about.
Afterwards, everyone drank and talked about their resentment and the strange people and things they encountered in their adventurous lives. It was really a pleasant conversation.
After drinking more than a dozen bottles of good wine, everyone's faces turned red, their blood boiled, and the words they said were all sincere and they felt very refreshed.
Except for people as generous as Wayne, there are few opportunities for them to drink so much good wine at one time.
After three rounds of drinking, it was time to get down to business. Reso held a bottle of wine in his hand, looked at Wayne with his amber pupils, and asked with a little drunkenness:
"Wayne, tell me about your commission. You said this is a commission from you. Is there anything you need our help with?"
Upon hearing this, Wayne also put down his glass, looked at the people from the Viper School, thought for a moment and then said:
"Originally, I was going to invite you to serve as bodyguards for a special team of mine, but yesterday, I found some special information, the location of some of the Grandmaster-level suit blueprints of our demon hunter schools, so I changed my mind."
"Let's complete a few commissions in Toussaint first, and then talk about future commissions."
"Grandmaster level suit blueprint?"
Lei Suo was stunned when he heard this, and then asked excitedly:
"Do you have the Viper School's Grandmaster-level equipment blueprints?"
The Viper School's grandmaster equipment blueprints had been lost in the encirclement of the usurper's soldiers. If the blueprints could be recovered, it would be a very meaningful thing for Reso, who has a strong sense of responsibility. No wonder he was a little excited.
Wayne smiled and nodded, saying, "Except for the Cat School, several other schools have news of the blueprints."
"You should have heard of the Elf Armor Master Tynsel. He is a famous armor forging master in your south. These equipment drawings are what our former demon hunter predecessors lost when they came to this master to make equipment."
Lei Suo nodded in realization, and then he asked with a serious expression:
"Wayne, if there are Viper School's Grandmaster-level equipment blueprints among these targets, I hope to be able to make a copy so that I can bring it back to our school. This is the responsibility of our Viper School demon hunters."
Wayne did not hesitate at all for this request and immediately nodded in agreement with a smile. In fact, when he was talking with Tynsel, he had already obtained a master-level task from this master, which was to find the grandmaster-level equipment drawings of the five schools. Now, he was going to entrust this task to Reso and his two companions. The money he spent would definitely be less than the reward from the system, and he would get the experience and treasure chests for free, which was simply fleecing the system.
In the future, if these demon hunter masters join his camp, and he encounters other high-level commissions and difficult tasks that require a lot of time to complete, he can also hand them over to others to complete in this way, take the rewards for free, and continue to fleece the system.
Immediately, he told Reso and others the location of the Viper School equipment drawings without reservation, and commissioned them to bring back the spoils from there.
Wayne still has great trust in the credit of Reso and others.
In the original story, Geralt met Letho and others by chance, and Geralt saved Letho's life from a dragon lizard.
Then Geralt was taken away by the Wild Hunt, and Letho and the other two protected Yennefer for nearly a year. Finally, the Emperor of Nilfgaard captured Yennefer and forced Letho and others to assassinate the King of the North.
Faced with such a dangerous mission, Letho and others did not refuse. They risked their lives to sneak into the north and assassinate the king of Aedirn. Unexpectedly, in the end, they were killed by the amnesiac Geralt during the assassination of Foltest.
It can really be said that he has done his best and is extremely unlucky.
And at the end of the meal and chat, Reso revealed a very interesting news to Wayne.
Because in the past, the Viper School, like the Cat School, sometimes took on assassination missions when they survived in the south, so they had contacts and connections with the local Thieves Guild and Assassins Guild, and were considered the top assassination masters. This was one of the main reasons why the usurper wanted to recruit the Viper School demon hunters for his own use.
When Letho came to Toussaint to hunt pterodactyls, he accidentally learned a piece of news from the Assassin's Guild in the south that someone wanted to assassinate Beauclair's court illusion master, Artorios Vigo, who was also the uncle of the sorceress Fringilla Vigo.
Moreover, Letho also learned from a special channel that a demon hunter from the Cat School had already taken on this task and had probably arrived in Toussaint and was ready to take action at any time.
This news surprised and puzzled Wayne. What was going on? Was he the same as the protagonist in the story? Wherever he went, more things happened there.
This is my first time in Toussaint, and I have met people from the Viper School and the Cat School. It is really a coincidence!
But along with that, Wayne also became interested in the cat school.
It is precisely because of this group of highly skilled assassins who specialize in assassinating various powerful figures that the ruling class has a serious fear of witchers and believes that the existence of witchers poses a serious threat to the rulers.
Therefore, all kinds of rumors that were unfavorable to the witcher began to spread, ruining the reputation of the witcher and even adding fuel to the flames, accelerating the decline and demise of the witcher profession.
In fact, this statement is not without reason. Because of the problems with the mutation formula and equipment when the witcher cult split, coupled with some accidents caused by human factors, the personalities of every witcher of the Cat School are very extreme, capricious, irritable and bloodthirsty.
In addition, most of them are engaged in assassination work and specialize in killing people without mercy, regardless of gender, age or status. Therefore, the witchers of this school are hated and feared by everyone.
However, similar to other schools of witchers, the Cat School of Witchers do not have their own fixed academy, but live in caravans similar to gypsies.
But in the past year, their headquarters was also besieged by the human army, resulting in heavy casualties. Although the Cat School may have the most survivors among all the schools, it is basically completely destroyed and it is difficult for it to rise again.
Wayne kept the news in mind. He had not yet decided whether to tell Fringilla or Francesca about this news. On the one hand, this matter involved the Cat School Witcher. On the other hand, this was just a piece of news that Letho received, and he could not confirm whether it was true.
But now that he knew the news, he couldn't waste it. He planned to find time to meet this possible cat-faction witcher, perhaps he could get something from him.
After eating and drinking, Wayne did not break his promise. With the mentality of eating, drinking and having fun, he took three demon hunters from the Viper School and found the most upscale brothel in Beauclair. He ordered three young and beautiful girls for each of Reso and his companions, and four for himself, and they all indulged themselves.
As the saying goes, there are four iron bonds in life: we have carried guns together, sat in the same classroom together, been to jail together, and visited prostitutes together.
Although this statement is just a joke, it is still very useful in bringing people closer together.
The next afternoon, when everyone gathered together and talked again, they had indeed become much closer to each other, as if they had become good friends.
Wayne was not stingy either. He gave each of them a few bottles of his nearly a thousand bottles of intermediate healing potions and intermediate mana potions, and then paid them two hundred crowns in advance as a mission reward, allowing Reso and his companions to make full preparations for the battle and then complete the task of finding the grandmaster-level equipment drawings.
After Reso and others left, Wayne returned to the Red Moon Hotel and took a short rest in the room he rented for the afternoon.
After dusk, he changed into light clothes, put on an invisibility cloak, and walked towards the Beauclair Palace.
If he wants to catch the demon hunter from the Cat School, he must find the residence of the court mage Artorios in advance and collect intelligence in advance.
According to current speculation, perhaps this cat-faction witcher is also scouting the target of the mission. If he is lucky, this little kitten may fall directly into his hands.
Toussaint does not have its own organized army, but relies on several regiments of wandering knights to maintain border and road security. The capital Beauclair and the court are under the responsibility of the Duke's Guard.
Although nominally a vassal of Nilfgaard, Toussaint enjoys a high degree of autonomy, and the Empire generally does not interfere or participate in their internal affairs, or violate their borders.
When Wayne came to the palace of Beauclair, wearing an invisible cloak, he found that the defense here was indeed quite lax. Perhaps it was because there had been peace for a long time. Although the guards here were well-dressed and had shining armor, and the weapons and equipment in their hands seemed quite sophisticated, their expressions and temperaments lacked a spirit that had been truly baptized by blood and fire, as if they were a group of young soldiers who would collapse at the slightest touch.
It took Wayne almost no effort to bypass all the guards and enter the palace.
I have to say that the palace of Beauclair is more beautiful than the city of Beauclair. The overall structure is both luxurious and artistic. There are all kinds of artworks and statues everywhere. The ladies and servants coming and going are all dressed quite exquisitely, as if it were a palace in a fairy tale.
Wayne was a country bumpkin in his previous life and had never traveled to a foreign country. He liked the scenery very much, so he remained invisible, scouting and wandering around the palace. He soon came to a beautiful back garden full of various flowers.
And in the very center of the garden, a beautiful girl in a black dress, with long black hair, a curvy figure that revealed her snow-white chest and bottomless cleavage, was sitting by the fountain with a sad face, holding a picked flower in her hand, wondering what she was thinking about.
Seeing such a scenery, Wayne suddenly felt that the flowers and green leaves around him dimmed a little. With a sly smile on his face, he walked quietly to the side of the girl, unscrupulously admiring the scenery that only he could see from a close distance.
A few minutes later, Wayne, who had feasted his eyes, sat in the pavilion not far from the girl, enjoying the evening breeze and falling into thought.
Just as he was thinking about how to find the court mage Artorios in this huge palace without alerting others.
Another girl with blonde hair, an exaggerated figure and wearing a gorgeous blue dress walked over from the other side of the garden.
When she saw the black-haired girl sitting by the fountain, her eyes suddenly became moist and she shouted, "Siana, I heard a rumor. They said you are going to be expelled."
