Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 282 Kalkstein

On the afternoon of the second day after entering the fog, Wayne and others went deep into the hinterland of the fog, and selected a destroyed small village on the map of Kaedwen in the past as a resting point.

Along the way, the number of monsters they cleaned up has exceeded a thousand. Although the monster hunters were only in waves, the physical strength of the demon hunters could still hold on, but the continuous release of spells still made the two women The warlock was exhausted.

It happened that the buildings in this village could be used as defense facilities. After they cleared the monsters in the village, they simply decided to stay here for one night to relieve the fatigue of the battle.

Among this group of people, Wayne has undoubtedly become the most popular chef. The two sorceresses are responsible for the work of underlings, while the three Leisuo are responsible for guarding against possible monster attacks on the outskirts of the village.

After the delicious dinner was prepared, the group of them rarely had time to sit together and discuss the next action.

"There are too many monsters here. I bet I've encountered more monsters in the past two days than I have encountered in the past year."

"And compared to zombies resurrected by humans, evil ghosts and water ghosts are more difficult to deal with after they are resurrected."

"Most of their physical weaknesses have disappeared. Although their flexibility has decreased, their lethality has increased. I was almost injured when they were besieged last time."

The one who spoke was Oakes from the Viper School. Compared to Leisuo who was taciturn, Oakes and the other Seret were relatively young and had more active personalities.

When Seret heard this, he said with a worried look:

"It seems that those warlocks are not wrong to worry, if this kind of monster that can resurrect corpses is rampant throughout the world."

"No human kingdom can resist these undead creatures. After those kingdoms are destroyed, there will even be an army of hundreds of thousands or millions of undead monsters."

"There are too many humans, much more than the number of monsters."

Hearing this, Lei Suo was also a little speechless, and seemed to be thinking about the possibility of such a thing.

Wayne sat aside, listening to their discussion, and suddenly said speechlessly:
"You are worrying too much. When that time comes, everyone will be cremated after death and the body will be burned, which will greatly alleviate the problem."

"And don't underestimate spellcasters too much. Monsters like this are slow-moving and can only be lethal in groups. As long as they let go and find their weaknesses, the warlocks can easily deal with them."

Margarita, who was sitting next to Wayne, also smiled slightly when she heard this and said in a rather confident tone:
"Yes, Mr. Letso, you don't need to worry about that."

"Our Warlock Brotherhood is actively studying the weaknesses of these monsters. I believe that it won't be long before we can develop magic to deal with them."

"Like these days, we're finding that low temperatures are particularly effective on these zombies."

"If necessary later, we only need to unite three warlocks, and we are capable of launching a large blizzard covering several kilometers."

"By then, even tens of thousands of these zombies will all be frozen in place and lose their combat effectiveness."

"Such as large-scale dispersion spells and spells that forcefully change the terrain, our Warlock Brotherhood can use them in a targeted manner as long as we are given time to prepare."

"In fact, in this bounty competition, every warlock participating has an invisible mission, which is to collect information about the monsters they have encountered."

"I believe that after this commission is over, with so many battle data that warlocks have personally experienced, we will definitely be able to have a better understanding of these monsters from another world and formulate more effective strategies."

"As long as we can find a way to seal the gap torn apart by the power of the other world, solving the monsters in the fog is not a problem."

Keira also expressed her agreement. Most of the warlocks' powers are restricted by the Warlock Brotherhood and cannot be used at full strength.

If necessary, an outstanding warlock like her who can become a royal advisor can use even magic that destroys a city as long as the casting materials and casting time are prepared.

While several people were discussing tomorrow's itinerary, Wayne's keen hearing suddenly heard a group of noisy cries for help, curses and desperate cries.

He was slightly stunned at first, and immediately understood that other warlocks had been attacked. The thought of not saving anyone flashed through his mind. After all, it was a competitive mission. Although killing each other was not allowed, there was no requirement to save those in distress.

But soon, he changed his mind, because Wayne thought that all those who could participate in this bounty competition were young warlocks from the north, and some of them were acquaintances who appeared in the original work.

Regardless of whether to save people or not, it is best to go over and find out who was attacked?
At that time, whether it is to ignore the situation or to be a favor, it is a good choice.

Thinking this way, Wayne said to the others:
"I heard the enemy's voice. Stay alert and I'll go take a look."

Leisuo and others nodded without objection, but Kayla opened her mouth and wanted to go with Wayne.

"I'll go with you, Wayne, so that we can both take care of each other." Wayne looked back at Keira, and seeing that her expression didn't seem to be fake, he unconsciously felt a little better for this petite sorceress. .

Sure enough, as Margarita said, only young sorceresses like Triss and Keira can still see some precious qualities.

However, he still rejected Keira's kindness and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry. It's better for me to hide when I move alone. There won't necessarily be a fight."

"Don't act rashly, lest you get involved in a meaningless battle."

After leaving the resting point, Wayne immediately put on an invisibility cloak. Although he was not afraid of any battle, it was better to do less than to do more. If the opponent was not worth saving, he would just stand by and watch.

Soon, after crossing a distance of more than 200 meters, he saw an ongoing massacre on a slope outside the village.

There were about 20 archers wearing leather armor, with blue-black skin all over their bodies, and devil tattoos on their faces. They were chasing a group of mercenaries from all directions, using bows and arrows in their hands.

These archers move very fast and their shooting accuracy is quite good. Even if the mercenaries who are being chased are forced into desperation and want to attack them back, they are unable to catch up with the archers.

Instead, because he moved too much and could not protect himself, he was shot in the eye socket and neck by several bows and arrows, and died tragically.

There were originally about thirty or forty mercenaries, but they only resisted for about seven or eight minutes before more than half were killed by the archers.

However, the sacrifices of these mercenaries were not in vain. They successfully held back the archers, giving a comfortably dressed middle-aged man running at the front a chance to escape.

This middle-aged warlock was thin, his appearance could even be called wretched, and he had two handlebar mustaches under his nose. His face was full of fear, and his face was covered with sweat. He just gritted his teeth and ran towards the village.

Wayne stared at him for a few seconds, suddenly thought of something, and recognized the man's identity.

This guy's name is Kalkstan, a master alchemist, chemist, inventor, scientist, diviner, writer, runesmith, and sorcerer from the Temerian capital of Vizima.

I once worked with Geralt in the Witcher [-] game and is a very talented researcher.

Wayne knew him not only because this guy was famous in Vizima, but also because he once wanted to recruit this guy with great research talents to join his demon hunter order.

However, during that time, Kalkstein went out to conduct other research, and the two parties had no chance to meet, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

Unexpectedly, he met this guy here, and the other person was also in danger of possibly losing his life.

Since this is the case, then saving the other party is also a good choice.

Wayne's mind only considered it for a moment, and his body responded immediately.

When he was hundreds of meters away from those demon archers, he took out his Dragon Song Bow from his bracelet, first put an enhanced version of Quen's Seal on himself, and then relied on his superb archery skills to , and started shooting each other.

The powerful arm strength made the arrows he fired extremely fast, whizzing past a hundred meters away, instantly piercing the demon archer's head and killing him on the spot.

Not only that, Wayne's archery speed is also very fast. Even including the aiming time, it can basically reach the speed of one arrow in three or four seconds.

Soon, before the demon archers could react, they had already killed three or four.

When the mercenaries who were struggling to their death saw this, they immediately realized that strong reinforcements were coming from their side. They gathered together desperately and did not charge. They just wanted to save their lives in the gap between the archers on both sides.

When the fallen archers realized that Wayne was a powerful enemy, they also gathered around him, trying to use their numerical advantage to suppress Wayne's long-range attacks.

However, Wayne's Quen shield was extremely hard at this time. Even if he didn't dodge or dodge, he could still hold a dozen arrows without moving, fight directly with those archers, and quickly take away several of the opponent's lives.

Once the shield is broken, the cunning demon hunter will immediately duck into the bunker aside. In just a few seconds, he will immediately put another layer of hard shield on his body, giving these archers no chance at all. Opportunity to fight back.

Coupled with the restraint of the mercenaries between the two sides, more than half of the twenty or thirty fallen archers were shot dead by Wayne in just a few minutes.

The remaining ones all had bad experiences and quickly disappeared into the mist.
