Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

In the early morning, the world fell into darkness, and only the cold moonlight outlined everything on the ground.

In the entire new and old cities of Vizima, apart from scattered lights, there were only a few teams of guards holding torches patrolling the streets.

Without anyone noticing, a figure wearing dark tight clothes, a black scarf covering his face, and carrying a silver sword walked out of the slums.

This person was of course Wayne. In order to find out the truth in the house he had chosen during the day, he specially disguised himself and asked Geralt to borrow his silver sword.

After all, that house still belongs to the city hall, so you can't break in without any reason.

And if he solves the troubles in the house in a big way, maybe the city hall will change its mind temporarily and raise the price of the house.

So the purpose of Wayne's trip was just to go in and confirm whether he could solve the problems in this house.

If the trouble is within his reach, he can save a lot of money.

Because he had taken the potion in advance, the dark environment at this time had no impact on his actions. Wayne moved forward, avoiding the sight of all patrol teams, and quickly reached his destination.

This is a two-story brick and stone house similar to a private villa, with a front yard and a backyard, and a two-meter-high wall. The overall area is about 1,000 square meters, and it looks quite impressive.

However, compared with those houses with their own storefronts, this house is located in a relatively remote location. The entrance and exit are not on the main streets. It is almost close to the city wall of New Vizima and is only separated by a passage of a few meters wide.

Wayne observed around the house, and after confirming that no one saw it, he used his strength to climb and followed the position of the door, climbing over easily.

The front yard of the house is a garden with many flowers and plants planted. For the sake of beauty, workers also built a wooden pavilion and a small pond in the yard.

Wayne walked around the front garden and didn't see anything strange, and his Wolf School badge didn't react at all, so there should be no problem.

So he came to the main entrance of the house, pushed it back, and found that the main entrance was locked, and all the windows on the first floor were closed, making it impossible to enter.

However, this was nothing to the witcher. After half a circle around the house, he saw the balcony on the second floor.

It was a semi-circular open-air balcony, about three meters above the ground. The former owner of the house still placed several pots of beautiful flowers on the balcony.

This height may be quite difficult for ordinary people, and they must use a ladder to go up.

But at this time, Wayne was not wearing iron armor and was traveling lightly. Moreover, he was already tall. He just raised his hands, accumulated some strength, then jumped up suddenly, and his arms firmly grasped the edge of the open-air balcony.

After turning over, Wayne found that the balcony was connected to the master bedroom of the house, and the furniture inside was 90% new and looked quite high-end.

It is very likely that his master chose to leave directly after encountering various accidents, without taking all the items here.

However, Wayne didn't pay attention to these foreign objects. After entering the house, he immediately raised his vigilance and began to explore the house cautiously.

If it's just mischievous little earth spirits in the house, or non-lethal curses, that's easier to fix.

But if it is an evil spirit, it will be a little troublesome.

Because demon spirits are collectively called a kind of monster, but their strength varies. Powerful demon spirits can even slaughter an entire army, while weak demon spirits have difficulty even appearing.

There is no universally recognized answer to the reason why this kind of monster is generated, but most scholars and warlocks believe that when some intelligent beings had extremely strong negative emotions during their lifetime, they died at a special time and place. If so, then there is a certain chance of becoming a demon spirit.

Wayne searched the house for nearly an hour, from the second floor to the first floor, from the bedroom to the kitchen, and almost every corner of the house, but still couldn't find anything unusual.

Even his witcher senses and the magic badge on his chest didn't respond, which made him frown normally.

There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur, either the problem here is very big, beyond his ability, and he cannot detect it.

Or, there isn't much of a problem here, and the previous buyers were probably just accidents due to various coincidences.

However, compared to the former, Wayne didn't believe in coincidences even more, and searched the house again, but still found nothing.

Wayne left the house, ready to continue searching in the backyard.

Compared with the small garden in the front yard, the backyard is wider, about 500 pings.

However, because the new city had just been built, these houses were not completely completed. At this time, the backyard was just a fenced wasteland. Except for a deep well dug in the center of the backyard, the rest of the place was quite flat. It could be said that there was no unobstructed view. Any exception.

Therefore, Wayne's eyes were instinctively attracted by the deep well.

With an inquiring mind, he cautiously approached the well built with bricks and stones.

This is the kind of shape specially designed for wealthy families. The wellhead is nearly one meter wide, with a wooden roof built above to block debris. A metal rotating pull rod is fixed at the wellhead, which can control the rope. From below Fish out the well water.

However, this time, as soon as he approached the wellhead, Wayne immediately noticed something unusual.

In his keen senses, there was actually a slight flow of air flowing outward from the well mouth, blowing on his skin, with a slight coolness.

It is not an almost closed space like a normal well.

With such doubts, Wayne looked down from above the well.

It was pitch black below and nothing could be seen. Even with the blessing of the cat's eye potion, he could only confirm that the space below the wellhead was quite large, and there was indeed air flow, and even a breeze.

The witcher's keen hearing and touch told Wayne that this well was not an ordinary well that dug into the aquifer and obtained water through infiltration.

This well was dug directly into the rock formations on the surface and connected to the underground river more than ten meters below. The underground river water was directly extracted through wooden barrels.

Therefore, there is a considerable space under the well, as well as the air flow driven by the underground river.

Moreover, Wayne also smelled the smell of some kind of monster from the position of the well mouth. Although he could not be sure, there were indeed traces of some kind of monster.

With this discovery, Wayne also had some guesses about the whole thing.

Perhaps it was precisely because this underground river was connected to a mysterious place that some kind of monster or demon spirit entered the house through the wellhead, causing many surprises to the original buyer.

However, the monster should not be considered dangerous for the time being, because it did not cause life-threatening danger to the original buyer. I don't know if it is not capable enough, or it does not want to do so.

After Wayne thought about it for a few minutes, he found that there were three solutions in front of him.

The first method is the simplest. Directly set up a magic circle to seal the wellhead and isolate the passage between the monster and the ground. Even if he wants to do something else, he can only pass through elsewhere.

The second method is stupider and more traditional, which is to wait and see. He can spend several days staying near the wellhead and hiding, and there should be a certain chance of encountering the monster crawling out of the wellhead.

The last method is more adventurous, which is to jump into the well and follow the underground river directly to find the mysterious area connected by the river, and solve the problem at the source.

And just in time, he also obtained the Hekna Talisman, which allows him to breathe underwater and swim faster.

The only thing worth considering is whether, with his strength, he can defeat the unknown monster, or negotiate amicably with it to resolve this problem.

Thinking of this, Wayne looked at the sky. It was still late at night and early in the morning. The moon had already set halfway, and there were still about four or five hours before dawn.

He thought about it and sighed. If this was in a game, maybe Wayne would jump into the well without hesitation to challenge the monster.

But this is the real world now, and it can neither be saved nor resurrected. Wayne feels that he cannot take risks and must be safe.

So, after thinking about it for a few minutes, Wayne stood up, returned to the house, and went to the room on the second floor near the backyard. He sat by the window and quietly observed the location of the wellhead through the window.

He hoped that he would be lucky enough to wait for the guy who threw himself into the trap.

(Seeing that some book friends have some disputes about the plot, I have done some popular science in the highlights of the comment area. Most readers may have only played the game and do not know the original novel, so they may have some misunderstandings. I hope you read it. After popular science, you will understand the plot better, okay!)
