Ding! The mission [Save Yennefer] Master Level is triggered.
Do you want to receive it?
Faced with such a request from his good brother Geralt, and looking at his eyes that were trying hard to keep up his spirits but still distracted, Wayne really couldn't say no.
He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Geralt, I will bring Yennefer back."
"You should rest and recover, don't force yourself."
It seemed that after hearing Wayne's answer, Geralt felt relieved and fainted again.
His injuries were extremely serious. It was probably because he had fought too hard in the previous battle to protect Yennefer. Not only did he have multiple knife wounds on his body, but he also had two more wounds on his neck and face.
If it weren't for Wayne, with the medical skills in this world, White Wolf would definitely have been dead.
However, even with the powerful healing potion from the world of Azeroth, Geralt's injuries were still very serious. His internal organs, bones and even his nerves had suffered multiple injuries. He would need a highly skilled doctor to undergo a long period of careful treatment before he could recover. Otherwise, even if he was saved, he would most likely become a disabled person.
A few minutes later, when Wayne carried Geralt on his back and brought Dandelion back to Keira and the others, the news brought back by the bard made the expressions of the two sorceresses even more solemn and shocked.
"Were Yennefer and Lady Sil also captured by those corrupted ones?"
"how so?"
"It seems that this bounty competition is very likely to be a trap."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the fallen ones who were corrupted by the other world to gather all the elite warlocks separated in various places in the north in such a short time and let them voluntarily enter the dangerous fog."
"However, if they just wanted to learn about this world, they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. They captured so many warlocks, so there must be other conspiracies that we don't know about."
Margarita's face was heavy, and she was worried about the captured warlocks.
Even among all the sorceresses, Yennefer and Sil are relatively powerful.
Even they were captured. It is very likely that other weaker warlocks would find it difficult to escape the fate of being captured once their whereabouts were discovered.
Keira felt the same way. She could imagine that if she hadn't had Wayne, the powerful demon hunter, to protect her this time, and if she had hired ordinary mercenaries this time, perhaps Margarita and the other three would have been among the captured warlocks.
However, compared to Kayla and others' discussion about the conspiracy, Wayne's mind was not on it. If the sky fell, there were tall people to hold it up. Such a matter concerning the safety of the world was not something he, a demon hunter, should worry about.
He had just learned from Dandelion that Yennefer was captured by a group of more than a hundred Fallen in a wasteland about ten kilometers away from here about two hours ago, and that she and more than fifty mercenaries hired by Sil had all been killed.
The other side also had a fallen warlock, and with the help of many fearless cannon fodder, they successfully dissolved the spells of Yennefer and Sil and easily defeated their troops.
Even though Geralt fought desperately to rescue Yennefer, he was unable to stop it.
If Dandelion had not been smart enough, he would have taken the opportunity to ride the horse of a fallen knight who had died in battle and rushed out of the crowd with the white wolf.
Maybe all of them were wiped out in that battle.
But now, the reality has forced Wayne into a dilemma. On the one hand, he promised Geralt to rescue Yennefer, so he must set off quickly before the other party goes far and before he can find any traces of the other party's large army.
But on the other hand, now Kayla, Margarita and others are in the fog, and they are surrounded by Fallen who want to capture the Warlock. If he leaves rashly, it will undoubtedly put Kayla and others in a very dangerous environment.
He couldn't do such a thing.
The fog is blocked by energy from another world, and neither the portal nor the flying technique can be used. If you want to leave here, you can only walk on your own two legs.
Judging from their current distance, it would take at least another day for them to escape the fog and reach a safe place.
After thinking for a few minutes, Wayne made an excuse to leave Kayla and the others and came to a place where he could not be easily noticed.
He looked at the Lani doll floating beside him, holding Kael'thas's magic book and reading it carefully, and asked tentatively:
"Protect them to get out of the fog safely."
Hearing Wayne's question, Lani's puppet appeared from midair, tilted its head, and asked in a puzzled tone:
"Are they also your friends? Have you made a pact with them not to betray them?"
Seeing that the Moon Princess was struggling with this issue, Wayne quickly explained:
"No, don't misunderstand me."
"My relationship with the friends you mentioned is different from theirs."
"Our relationship will last for a thousand years, ten thousand years or even forever, but they are only mortals, destined to have only a brief encounter with me."
"I just want to fulfill my duty as a friend and help them to the best of my ability."
"In your world, you must have encountered beings that are relatively weak and need protection, but you also want to get along well with them."
After hearing this, Lani was silent for a few seconds. Her sapphire-like eyes remained calm. She flipped the pages of the book in her hand and said in a light tone:
"Is that so?"
"Okay, I can help you protect them for a day."
"I will come back to find you once they are safely out of this fog filled with evil power."
Seeing that Lani, who had always been quite arrogant, was willing to help him without putting forward any conditions, Wayne felt warm in his heart and felt that his efforts were finally rewarded.
However, others may not want to be paid, but as an employer you cannot not pay.
He still said in a grateful tone: "Thank you, Lani. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to see other worlds."
The Moon Princess still spoke calmly, "I have no plans to go to other worlds for the time being. The knowledge in this book is enough for me to study for a long time."
"But if I have other needs in the future, I will also ask you about them."
………………
With the help of Lani, Wayne no longer has to worry about the dilemma and can go looking for Yennefer with peace of mind.
He still had great confidence in the strength of the demigod. Although he was not sure what stage Lani was in at the moment and whether she had mastered any great runes or powerful magic, she could easily crush most people in the wizarding world with her magical talent alone.
So Wayne discussed with Margarita and others, and told them sincerely and solemnly that during the next day's journey, there would be a powerful wizard protecting them in secret, so they don't have to worry.
Although everyone still had doubts about the existence of this powerful wizard, several people led by Keira, Reso, Margarita and others were willing to believe Wayne's words and expressed their support for his decision.
Soon they set off with the injured and unconscious Geralt and the newly joined Dandelion.
After Keira and others left, Wayne did not waste time and immediately rode on his soul warhorse Udis and ran towards the location where the battle took place marked on the map by Dandelion.
It has to be said that without the burden of Kayla and others, Wayne immediately felt relieved.
Holding the extremely sharp Sword of Promised Victory in his hand, the mutated demons and monsters from other worlds he encountered along the way were easily dealt with by him like cutting melons and vegetables.
Udis is very fast, much faster than ordinary war horses. Even when running on complex terrain, its speed is comparable to that of a Mercedes-Benz motorcycle.
It only took him about twenty minutes to run the ten kilometers and arrive at the place where Yennefer was captured.
