The Wolf School badge placed on the stone table has completed the magic charging. It looks no different from the original one, but if you look closely, you will find that the surface of the badge is covered with a layer of strange luster that is faintly visible to the naked eye.

Geralt reached out and picked up the badge on the stone table and examined it for a while, then turned around and handed it to Wayne. He seemed to be relieved and walked down the altar while saying:

"Let's go back to the castle. We've encountered a lot of things today, including a battle. Now we're all covered in the stench of monsters."

"Let's hunt some game on the way. You haven't finished your training for today."

Wayne nodded, looked back at the Ring of Elements with nostalgia, and sighed quietly in his heart.

He put the badge on his chest, followed Geralt's steps, and said:

"I should have some catch in my fishing traps. Let's pick some mushrooms in the forest and see if we can catch a few rabbits or roe deer."

"However, there isn't much alcohol left in the warehouse. There's still more than a month until spring. You can't drink without restraint like before."

………………

Winter passed and spring came, and as Wayne prepared to go down the mountain, time quickly came to the spring of 1250.

Kaer Morhen is located in the Blue Mountains northeast of the Northern Kingdoms and belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Kaedwen. Although the heavy snow has not completely melted at this time, the weather is still very cold.

But the witchers who have been living in the castle for the entire winter must set out on their journey again and work hard for their own lives.

Eskel and Lambert had already set off a few days in advance. This year they planned to go to the free city of Novigrad in the north to see if they could find any commissions.

Now only Vesemir, Wayne and Geralt are left in the castle.

And today, Wayne and Geralt are preparing to leave Kaer Morhen and head for the northern countries.

Although the old witcher Vesemir did not say anything about Wayne's departure, he was like an old man watching his child going on a long journey. He not only prepared a set of 90% new wolf-faction witcher armor for Wayne, but also prepared a fine steel sword for him.

According to the old man, this was the steel sword he replaced when he was young. It was mixed with a lot of precious metals and was a good weapon.

Keeping it now is just a souvenir, it would be better to give it to Wayne to use.

As for the silver sword and the horse, these two things were too expensive. Even if Vesemir had some savings, he did not have the financial resources to prepare one for Wayne in advance. He had to work hard on his own.

At the castle gate, Geralt was leading a gray mare named Carrot, watching Wayne and Vesemir who were talking with interest.

The old demon hunter patted Wayne on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Child, after you come down the mountain, you must be careful and don't get involved in the conspiracies between nobles or countries."

"We demon hunters must uphold the path of neutrality and not lean towards any one force."

"I have confidence in your talent and ability, but you are still young. You must remember that sometimes, human hearts are more sinister than demons, and evil people are more vicious than monsters."

"Don't trust outsiders easily, be careful of the knife in the back."

Listening to Vesemir's somewhat nagging teachings, Wayne couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.

Although they are not related by blood, the old witcher cares for his junior like a real elder.

He stepped forward, gently embraced Vesemir, and said sincerely:

"Please rest assured, teacher. I will learn from Geralt and become an excellent demon hunter."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Wayne said, Vesemir frowned and said:

"You just need to learn how he deals with various monsters. Bad habits like gambling, visiting prostitutes, and wasting money will only harm you if you learn them."

Hearing the old witcher say this, Wayne couldn't help but laugh out loud. He turned his head to look at Geralt, who had a bitter face, and then echoed:

"I understand, teacher."

"It's getting late. We have to leave early."

"Otherwise, we'll have to spend the night in the forest."

Vesemir patted Wayne's shoulder reluctantly and said goodbye:

"Okay, you guys go ahead, remember what I said, don't trust others easily."

Wayne nodded seriously again, and then set off with Geralt under the gaze of the old witcher.

The destination of this journey has not yet been determined, but the purpose of the demon hunters is to accept commissions and earn gold coins. They will first wander around some nearby villages to see if there are any monsters that need to be cleared, and by the way, to gather some war intelligence.

According to past experience, whenever a war occurs and there are casualties, the corpses will attract a large number of monsters to follow and bring danger to nearby humans.

If there were no war, they would go to the big cities in the north to look for opportunities, where there are more wealthy people, more complex relationships, and it would be easier to find jobs.

This time when he goes down the mountain, as a newly minted demon hunter, Wayne must save more money to get himself a mount and forge a silver sword. These are essential equipment for demon hunters, and they are not cheap. It will probably take a long time to save up.

Of course, this was Geralt's idea, however, he didn't know that Wayne was much richer than he thought.

With the accumulation of the past two years, Wayne's system still has one professional-level treasure chest and more than 500 ordinary-level treasure chests that have not been used. There are some coins in each treasure chest, and the total amount must be considerable.

However, Wayne knew that this money was obtained out of thin air after all. If Geralt stayed with him all the time, it would be difficult to explain when he got this huge sum of money.

Therefore, he had to find an opportunity to send Geralt away for a while and find an excuse for his harvest.

However, these are things to think about after leaving Kaer Morhen.

Under the gaze of the old witcher, Wayne followed behind Geralt, leading the mare full of luggage, and soon disappeared into the forest.
