Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

Unable to stand Wayne's urging, Geralt set off with him after breakfast.

However, it is not easy to reach the Ring of Elements in the mountains behind Kaer Morhen. Not only do you have to sail across a lake next to the castle, you also have to climb a rugged mountain road and pass through a dark cave to reach it.

Saying goodbye to other companions, the two quickly left the castle and came to the lake. Fortunately, due to Wayne's efforts during this period, he had killed all the water ghosts by the lake. Without the interruption of these troublemakers, they could easily I almost found an old boat and started swimming to the other side of the lake.

After getting on the boat, Wayne adjusted the direction of the sail. Seeing the nostalgic expression on Geralt's face, he asked:

"Geralt, what are you thinking about?"

"Looking at your expression, did something happen here?"

When Bai Lang heard this, he reached out and touched the lake water. His expression was in a daze for a few seconds before he showed a bitter smile and said:

"It reminds me of some things from the past."

"Wayne, Kaer Morhen is training fewer and fewer apprentices now, and many of the previous rules have been abandoned, so you have not experienced it."

"When I become a demon hunter, the Trial of Green Grass will take away the lives of more than 70% of demon hunter apprentices."

"And even if we survive the Green Grass Trial and complete basic training, we must still undergo one final trial."

"The path we are taking now is the route of the final trial."

Geralt raised his head, looked into Wayne's eyes, and said sadly:

"At the beginning, there were eight apprentices in the same batch as me who passed the Green Grass Trial, but there were only four left who passed the final trial."

"And a year later, the other two also died at the hands of other monsters, leaving only Eskel and I alive."

"So, for many witcher apprentices, becoming a witcher is a very unfortunate thing."

Wayne was a little silent when he heard this. Calculating this, there should be more than twenty children who were trained with Geralt at the beginning. Only one tenth of them survived.

The chances of survival as a demon hunter are really disappointing.

After sailing on the lake for about half an hour, I was lucky and there were no accidents.

But just as they got off the boat, the two of them were attacked by a group of about a dozen human-faced demon birds on the beach on the other side of the lake.

Seeing this group of monsters attacking from the sky, Geralt cast a Quen Seal on himself without saying a word, and took the lead in picking up his sword and charging forward.

He dodged while waving his silver sword to resist the attacks of the human-faced demon birds, but because there were too many enemies, he looked a little embarrassed.

Wayne is not reckless. This is the first time he has seen a human-faced demon bird, and it is also the first time he has encountered a flying monster.

According to the description in the book, the human-faced demon bird is a hybrid beast with a human face, beak, wings and claws. It exudes the stench of carrion bird droppings. It looks very ugly and likes to make creepy calls. Voice.

Their wings are quite flexible, allowing them to turn freely in the air. Their attack method is similar to that of an eagle, using the high speed brought by the dive to attack the enemy with its beak and claws.

However, due to their deformed body structure, once they land on the ground, they will appear very clumsy and their combat effectiveness will drop sharply.

Thinking of this, Wayne held the sword in his right hand and made a defensive posture. His left hand pointed at a flying human-faced demon bird in the air and made the gesture of the Yaksi Seal.

With the rapid flow of magic power in his body, Wayne drew a magic circle with his left hand. With a slight push, a human-faced demon bird flying in the sky seemed to be hit by electricity. His eyes were dull and his whole body was stiff. It fell straight down.

It was about ten meters high from the ground. It fell from a high altitude without any precautions, directly breaking its wings. The severe pain caused its limbs to roll and struggle on the ground.

Without the need for words, Geralt seized the opportunity and immediately rolled to the side of the human-faced demon bird. The sharp silver sword pierced its heart directly, easily dispatching the monster.

After discovering this good method, Wayne immediately followed the same example and released the Yaksi Seal eight times in a row, successfully cooperating with Geralt to kill eight mermaid birds.

But even after half of the members were killed, these low-IQ monsters still didn't know what fear and escape meant.

They still waved their wings and attacked the surrounded Geralt regardless of their own safety.

And because of the continuous blocking and rolling, the white wolf's physical strength was also consumed a lot, and he could no longer achieve 100% defense. He had several scars on his body and face from these human-faced monster birds.

Seeing this scene, Wayne no longer hesitated and shouted to Geralt:

"Geralt, come to me and lure the monsters over."

When the white wolf heard Wayne's cry, he didn't hesitate. He immediately used the hilt of his sword to knock away the sharp claws of a human-faced demon bird that was attacking him. He then rolled cleanly on his back and rolled towards Wayne. .

How could the remaining seven or eight human-faced demon birds let go of the prey that was about to reach their mouths? Their poor brains immediately flew towards Geralt instinctively without any thought.

At this time, Wayne's Igni Seal had been ready for seven or eight seconds, almost gathering most of the magic power in his body into his hand.

Seeing that Geralt and the monsters behind him had entered his attack range, Wayne shouted.

"Get down quickly."

The magic power in his hand immediately spurted out towards the monster in the air.

The eighth-level seal level can enhance Wayne's spell strength by 40%. In addition, his Igni this time has almost condensed the mana of seven or eight ordinary seals.

In an instant, a raging orange-red flame spurted out from Wayne's palm.

It directly enveloped the sky about ten meters in front, enveloping all the remaining seven or eight human-faced demon birds.

The raging flames raised the temperature of the surrounding air by more than ten degrees.

Along with the shrill wails of the monsters, the bodies of the human-faced monster birds were all burned by the flames. The outer skin and feathers were burned to char by the high temperature, turning into black and charred corpses, which fell from the high altitude.

Geralt got up from the ground and looked at the scene in front of him in shock. White Wolf had only seen such power of spells in the hands of warlocks. He turned back in disbelief and asked Wayne:

"Are you sure you cast the Igni Sign?"

"Why does it feel so different from what we use?"

Wayne rubbed his palms that seemed to have been burned by the high temperature of the flames, looked at Bai Lang innocently and said:

"That's right, my knowledge of magic seals is the same as yours. It was taught by Teacher Vesemir."

"Maybe my talent is better than yours."

When Geralt heard this, he took out a bottle of swallow potion and drank it, a little speechless, and complained:

"It's not a matter of you being a little better than me, Wayne."

"Maybe you should be a warlock instead of a witcher who fights with a sword."

Wayne spread his hands and reminded:

"I've already become a demon hunter, what's the use of talking about it now."

"Why don't we go find the nests of these demon birds? I've read in books that demon birds like to collect shiny objects."

"There is a high probability that there will be gold coins, gems or other valuable things in their lairs."

Hearing the coins, Geralt no longer struggled with the previous question, nodded and said in agreement:

"Yes, I once found several pieces of jewelry in the nest of a human-faced demon bird and exchanged them for hundreds of Orens."

"Since we all have to team up to do missions in the next few years, the spoils should be divided 50-50 according to the rules."
