Chapter 156: Tangled Choices and Middle-Earth



That night, Wayne's cooking skills were once again highly praised by the sorceresses. Everyone had a pleasant dinner while chatting and enjoying the food.

After dinner, when Wayne took out the Gwent cards and prepared to teach Margarita how to play cards, he didn't expect that the gentle principal was actually a master of this game and was very interested in the challenge of the witcher.

But unfortunately, it is undoubtedly a very difficult task to defeat Grandpa Wayne through Gwent on a lucky day.

However, under Wayne's deliberate suppression of strength, everyone still had a good time through the Gwent game.

In the following days, Principal Margarita's healing spells were indeed powerful. Injuries that might be considered difficult to deal with in front of many people were a piece of cake for this plump sorceress, who quickly healed Triss's injuries.

Perhaps because of the long vacation time and the sorceress's desire for power, after Triss's injuries were healed, this royal adviser, who had been on paid leave for nearly a month, immediately returned to her busy work, leaving Wayne, who had planned to accompany her to recuperate, with less time to spare.

Soon after, Yennefer also said goodbye. After White Wolf was pulled out of the brothel by Yennefer, he was dragged away by the sorceress by the ear without even putting on his clothes or saying a formal goodbye.

After Mr. Wayne had some free time, his life not only did not become easier, but instead became entangled in some difficulties.

The reason for his entanglement was nothing else but the Death Claw eggs that were about to hatch.

This thing is no different from a direwolf cub. The Death Claw looks similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex and grows very fast in the early stages. In the world of demon hunters, it is almost a new species.

If it is kept at home like the direwolf, when it grows up, it will definitely cause panic among ordinary people and also attract the attention of those who are interested.

If you want to tame this cub, you must stay with it every day, use animal training techniques and the ability to capture captives with the latest delicacies, and strengthen your relationship with the cub through feeding and training. This will definitely take a long time.

But this is the confusing part. It is now late March 1251. According to the development of the plot, Ciri's grandmother, Queen Calanthe, is about to hold a marriage party for her daughter, Ciri's mother, Princess Pavetta.

According to Wayne, he really hopes to attend this very interesting dinner.

Because at this dinner, not only can you see the future Emperor of the South, Emhyr the Hedgehog, dancing on his grave, but you can also see Princess Pavetta awaken the power of the Source Warlock and make the baby in her belly the destined child of Geralt the White Wolf.

This is also the beginning of the main storyline of the Witcher series, the beginning of the fate of Ciri, the girl of destiny who is favored by fate, and her old father Geralt.

It's a pity, because the Deathclaw cubs will undoubtedly be a very powerful helper to Wayne in future battles.

There was no way he could carry such a little thing around in the wizarding world, adding all kinds of risks.

After struggling for a few days.

Wayne finally decided that he would go to Middle-earth to practice in seclusion for a while.

This is not only to lay a solid foundation for future adventures in Middle-earth, but also to concentrate on training the Deathclaw cubs so that they can become his future helpers. It is also to calm down and hone his own strength.

Ever since awakening the ancient blood, he hasn't been able to calm down and improve his skills for a while. He has been indulging in all kinds of beauties every day and has become a little carried away.

The practice of spiritual practice is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward you will move backward.

Compared with the world of The Witcher, Middle-earth has a very special advantage. In that world, the flow of time is only one-fifth of that in the world of The Witcher. That is to say, even if Wayne spends two or three years in Middle-earth, when he returns to his own world, only about half a year has passed, and it is not even winter yet.

But it’s also good this way. Although we missed the story between Geralt and Ciri’s parents, at the same time, without his interference, this matter should be on the right track according to the development of the original work, and there will be no butterfly effect that affects the birth of the future girl of destiny, Ciri.

Middle-earth, The Shire Village.

When Bilbo Baggins woke up, he found it was already bright. After washing up, he first went to his well-stocked food warehouse, took out a bunch of ingredients, and prepared a hearty breakfast for himself in the kitchen.

Then he took the food to the huge dining table in his home and enjoyed a sumptuous meal.

Sausage and cheese, with potato salad, and a bowl of steaming onion beef soup.

After breakfast, he opened the door as usual and went to the mailbox to see if he had any new letters.

Suddenly, the village postman, fourteen-year-old little Brute, barefoot and carrying a large bag of tools, ran excitedly towards the market and passed by his house.

This was his neighbor, the village carpenter, the son of old Brute.

Seeing this, Bilbo immediately stopped the young man out of curiosity and asked:

"What's wrong, little Brute? You're running so fast. Has anyone in the market come up with some new delicacies? Or is there any new tobacco on sale?"

Little Brute had an excited look on his face and said to Bilbo: "No, Uncle Bilbo, a big man came to the market. He used a gold bar to hire twenty hobbit boys to help him build a house on the other side of the river."

"My father is also going to work there. I heard that the big guy is paying twice the normal wage. Now many people are scrambling to do that job."

"Hey, that big guy is so tall. I guess I'm less than half his height. This is the first time I've seen a big guy."

"I heard that he plans to settle down in the forest on the other side of the river, and will invite all the hobbits in our village to hold a party tonight."

"Now, he is also buying all kinds of food and fine wine in the market, and then sending people to deliver them all to the open space on the other side of the river, where an open-air party will be held in the evening."

"It's been a while since I've encountered something so interesting. I have to hurry over to join in the fun."

"By the way, there is a little white wolf cub next to him. It is very cute. My sister Fanny likes it very much. She just kept asking me to catch one too."

The young man was very eloquent and he said a lot of things. After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Bilbo and immediately ran towards the market with brisk steps.

Bilbo was also surprised when he heard this. As the settlement of the Hobbits, the Shire Village has always been a very peaceful place.

For hundreds of years, people have been working from sunrise to sunset, living a life of men farming and women weaving, and few outsiders have come to their village.

What’s more, he is the legendary big man.

After thinking for a few seconds, curiosity overcame surprise, and Bilbo put the letter he received back into the house. Then he took his favorite pipe and ran barefoot towards the market.

He has almost always stayed in this village since he was born. The last time he saw the big man was decades ago when he followed his mother Belladonna to the human town to purchase.
