He turned his head and found that Sianna had tears in the corners of her eyes, her eyes closed, her white body curled up into a ball, and she had not yet woken up from her sleep.
I have to say that the healing potion is quite effective. During last night's training, Wayne also discovered other uses of this potion. If it weren't for it, ordinary humans like Sianna would not be able to withstand the strong body of a top demon hunter.
In the future, his healing potions might become a must-have item when looking for happiness.
However, the genes of this former duke's daughter are also quite excellent. Not only is she fair-skinned and beautiful, she is also healthy, and her figure and physical strength are also quite outstanding.
Thanks to the rich nutrition and court etiquette training since childhood, her temperament is much better than that of ordinary girls. This is probably the source of her so-called noble temperament.
Looking at Sianna who was still asleep, Wayne reached out and held the other one, pinching her teasingly. When the girl woke up from the slight pain, he smiled and stroked her long, smooth black hair, saying in a slightly domineering tone, "It's time to get up, my Sianna."
"Crawl over here, yeah, that's right!"
"It's time to start morning exercise."
After a morning exercise that made him feel relaxed, Wayne went into the kitchen and prepared a sumptuous breakfast to reward the girl for her obedience last night. He also took out some cakes and candies from his space bracelet that were specially used to coax the little girl to treat her.
During the past two days of traveling, Sianna had hardly eaten or drunk anything because of the malicious torture of those knights. Last night's training was also quite exhausting. Looking at her expression as she picked up the delicious cake with elegant aristocratic etiquette and wolfed it down, Wayne couldn't help but smile.
He picked up a glass of cherry mead and drank it in one gulp, waiting until the girl looked at him with her blue eyes nervously because of his laughter.
Wayne said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, my Sianna, relax a little, I am not a harsh master."
"When we get along for a while, you will find that I am a generous host."
"Perhaps, as an ordinary person, the identity of a duke's daughter can indeed make many commoners look up to you, and can be called noble, but if you become my slave, you are no longer an ordinary person. You can obtain many precious things that royal nobles cannot obtain."
Seeing Sianna's puzzled look, Wayne added in a seductive tone, "I am an immortal species with a lifespan of thousands of years. I will not let my slaves wither so quickly. It would be a waste for a beautiful woman like you to wither and age after only twenty years."
"I have many ways to make you live for hundreds or even thousands of years. When your hometown, Toussaint Kingdom, no longer exists, you will still be as young and beautiful as you are now."
"By that time, you will realize how lucky you are to be my slave."
"Of course, the premise is that you can get my favor, otherwise, I won't spend extra thoughts on you. I have many choices, but you only have one choice. Do you understand?"
Longevity! Eternal youth! That is one of the greatest pursuits of all human beings.
After listening to Wayne's temptation, the fear hidden in Sianna's eyes dissipated a lot, and was replaced by a desire for eternal youth.
She adapted quickly. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she did not show any resistance on her face. She said to Wayne in a submissive manner:
"I understand, Master. I will do my best to meet your requirements and will not let you down."
Wayne was very satisfied with the girl's attitude, although he knew very well that the girl's heart was definitely not as submissive as she appeared.
But it was enough. He was not just a high-level vampire like Dettlaff, who would be deceived to death by Sianna's simple tricks.
There is still a lot of time in the future, and as long as he can grasp her weaknesses firmly, he will have plenty of time to train this little girl.
Wayne sipped the wine, pondered for a few seconds, then took out a box containing a sapphire necklace from his space bracelet, pushed it in front of Sianna, and said, "This is my gift to you, Sianna."
"After you put it on, your appearance will be disguised by magic. No one will recognize you anymore. And I will give you a test."
"Joel, the tobacco merchant, is my disguise in Beauclair. I will soon open a tobacco shop in the city."
"You will act as my agent, manage that store, and sell those tobaccos for me."
"I don't care how much money I can make, but this is a test of your ability. If you are just a beautiful woman like a vase, then you are not of much value to me."
"But if you can show your value and let me see your ability, I will value you more. You should understand what I mean."
This is the magic necklace obtained from Francesca. Wayne has several similar camouflage props in his space bracelet. Compared with other lethal magic props, these props that can disguise identities are really easy to use and cheap, and not easy to be exposed, which is quite what he wants.
Listening to Wayne's light-hearted narration, Sianna unconsciously felt a sense of crisis in her heart. Although she was very confident in her figure and appearance, the girl who had been familiar with various aristocratic stories since childhood also knew very well that a woman with only beauty would only become a sad commodity, a piece of ornamental material, without any freedom or rights, and would not be respected by men.
Only by demonstrating your own value can you gain the attention of others. This principle is very practical no matter where you apply it.
The girl reached out and took the sapphire necklace, and obediently put it around her slender neck.
With a burst of magical light, her appearance changed. Although she was still very beautiful, she no longer had the noble temperament she had before. She became a little more ordinary, and no one could recognize her identity through this face anymore.
However, compared with yesterday's confusion and helplessness, new hope rose in Sianna's heart at this moment, and a flame of ambition ignited in her blue eyes.
………………
Two days later, Wayne bought a shop in the city of Beauclair. The location was relatively remote, but the area was large. It could be used not only as a shop but also as a residence, which was quite convenient.
Soon, after a simple cleanup, without any elaborate decoration, Wayne's Pipe Weed Shop officially opened by reusing the original shop.
Gaitan, the cat-faction witcher, also got a pair of magic glasses for camouflage, which covered his witcher's vertical pupils and acted as a bodyguard to maintain order in the store.
And the poster girl Sianna officially acted as Wayne's agent, selling pipe tobacco in the store.
Although she was just a noble girl with little social experience in the past, she had received higher education and her vision exceeded that of most common people. After adapting to the new environment with difficulty for a few days, she quickly got into her role and started helping Wayne, a hands-off boss, sell pipe weed.
Wayne's purpose in setting up this tobacco shop was not just to sell pipe weed. He also gave Sienna another task, which was to purchase a large number of Gwent cards.
Strangely enough, Gwent, a card game that has gradually become popular in the northern countries, does not have any special stores that sell these cards. Most people use a private transaction method, or use the winnings and losses of playing cards to exchange these cards.
In the Middle Ages when printing and manufacturing technologies were relatively backward, these exquisite cards were all hand-painted. Even if they were the same cards, there would be subtle differences if you looked closely.
This production method, in addition to making the output of Gwent cards quite scarce, also adds a lot of collection value to these exquisite cards, especially those exquisite rare cards. Depending on their rarity, the price of each card can even be sold for several crowns or dozens of crowns.
All Gwent players know that this game comes from the dwarves of Mahakam and is a game invented by them, but no one knows the true origin of these cards, or where to buy more cards.
But unlike others, Wayne takes Gwent level more seriously than anyone else as it is an important part of improving his strength.
He also saw the potential of this game. Whether as a money-making business, a means of socializing, or an important bargaining chip to improve his own strength, he would join the ranks of promoting Gwent.
Perhaps, before he becomes the most powerful demon hunter in the world, he will first become the most famous king of Gwent in the world.
After arranging the affairs in the store, Wayne began his journey to find the underwater ruins of the Valley of the Nine.
However, unlike the original work, Wayne did not have the letter provided by Triss at this time, nor did he have any specific information about Dr. Thomas Moreau. The only thing he knew was that the underwater ruins were in the Valley of the Nine.
But Wayne is not worried about this. Unlike Geralt, Master Wayne is the Knight of the Lady of the Lake, a knight in every sense of the word.
Toussaint was, to some extent, the territory of the Lady of the Lake and the birthplace of the Knights' belief in the Five Virtues. For matters like this that he didn't know the intelligence about, he could go and ask the beautiful and holy Lady of the Lake, Lilith.
The only trouble is that every time I visit the Lady of the Lake, it takes too much time.
Wayne set out in the morning and didn't finish his visit until the afternoon of the next day. Although the process was comfortable and enjoyable, and he was able to improve his proficiency in the divine blessing skill, it did waste too much time.
However, this time, he did not get the goddess' beautiful body and information for free. Unexpectedly, the goddess also gave him a task, a master-level task.
Ding! Mission triggered, [Eliminate the evil in the ruins], Master level, do you want to accept it?
Faced with a master-level task, especially one commissioned by the respectable Goddess Lilith, Wayne would certainly not refuse.
The target of this mission is the evil god who is sealed in an underground ruin called Huangxiao Wilderness in the west of Boclain.
This evil god is from a very ancient time, and neither his name nor his origins can be traced. His abilities are similar to those of a powerful evil spirit.
However, according to the information from the Lady of the Lake, the seal of this evil god is about to expire. Although after thousands of years of sealing, the power of this evil god is no longer as strong as before, but once he breaks free and returns to the human world, he will be able to absorb all kinds of negative emotions in the world, quickly restore his strength, and cause harm to others.
The best way is to destroy it before its seal is lifted.
Although this is a temporary solution and not a permanent one, even if the evil god that leaked out from the seal is destroyed, it will be resurrected after thousands of years, but it is the best way to reduce the evil forces in the world.
However, this task is not a very urgent one. The evil god has been sealed for thousands of years. Although the seal has been damaged and started to leak a little bit, it does not matter if we wait for another month or several months.
Wayne planned to wait until the trip to the Valley of Nine was over, then call up a few other demon hunters and take a few warlocks with him to deal with the evil god.
Anyway, these are all tools that Wayne has already recruited. If they are not used, it will be a waste. It can also reduce accidents and lower risks.
As a god who is proficient in various spells, blessings and prophecies, the ruins of the Valley of the Nine are underwater, and the Lady of the Lake's intelligence is very accurate. She quickly predicted the location of the ruins and told Wayne.
But not only that, through the prophecy spell, the goddess also told Wayne something.
That is, the person he was looking for was now buried in a cemetery outside Beauclair.
He could get some information from that man's grave, which would make his exploration journey easier.
Well, after listening to the goddess's prophecy, Wayne patted his head in annoyance. The goddess's prophecy was indeed very useful and reminded him of a detail he had forgotten.
That is, Thomas Moreau's tomb is in the cemetery of Beauclair. Although the tomb had been robbed by tomb robbers in the game, it is now twenty years ago, and the professor's tomb should be safe and sound.
Sure enough, several years had passed since his previous life, and many memories in the game had become blurred. It was impossible for him to remember many details so clearly.
And because of the different timelines, memories of the past are not as reliable as predicting the future. This is something he must pay attention to in the future.
Now that he had obtained this information, for safety reasons, Wayne did not go directly to the Valley of the Nine, but returned to the cemetery in Beauclair first, where he found Professor Moreau's grave.
Although he felt a little sorry, he still dug up the professor's coffin under the cover of night and took away Professor Moreau's notebook from his body which had turned into dry bones.
This notebook not only records in detail some of Professor Moreau's last words, the location of the Valley of the Nine Laboratory, and some of the traps and details when building the laboratory, but also some of his confessions of his past behavior and his guilt towards his son and wife.
I have to say that this professor is a great father and a talented researcher.
Although his original purpose failed, he opened up a new path for subsequent demon hunters.
After everything was ready, Wayne did not stop, but immediately drove the magic carpet again, flew to the Valley of Nine, and began his journey of exploring the ruins.
