Witcher: The Half Elf

Chapter 3: System



Hearing the system prompt, Wayne was overjoyed. However, he didn't try to understand the system right away. Instead, he solemnly put the badge of the Wolf School around his neck, stood up, bowed slightly to the old witcher, and said with a serious expression:

"Thank you, Vesemir, I will not disappoint your expectations."

The old witcher stared at the badge of the Wolf School on Wayne's neck for a few seconds, then sighed and said:

"Wayne, our wolf school follows the principle of neutrality. The meaning of becoming a witcher is to destroy monsters, not to use one's own power to get involved in the secular power struggle."

"My expectation of you is not that you will become such a powerful and influential witcher.

I hope that you can live safely and live for hundreds of years, instead of dying because of a momentary struggle."

Neutral way? Wayne nodded thoughtfully. This is indeed the way that wolf school witchers have always acted.

Both of them were silent for a few seconds, and Wayne took advantage of the opportunity to check the mission system he had just obtained.

After a few tens of seconds, he suddenly realized that for more than a month, no matter whether it was training skills or upgrading skills, he hadn't gained any experience points from his witcher training.

It turned out that in order to gain experience points, one had to complete witcher missions.

And only after obtaining the badge of the school and becoming a witcher, the quest system will start. This golden finger of his is really starting to play a role.

According to the description of the mission system, there are four levels of witcher missions: normal level, expert level, master level, and epic level.

The tasks of each level are divided according to their difficulty, and the rewards obtained when completing the tasks are completely different. In addition, regardless of the difficulty of the task, he can only accept at most one task per day, and the task list can only accommodate up to ten different tasks.

Thinking of this, Wayne raised his head, looked at the old witcher who had adjusted his mood and was about to teach the seal, and suddenly said, "Teacher, can I ask you something?"

Vesemir looked at Wayne with cloudy vertical pupils for a few seconds. He was a pretty good-tempered elder, not a strict teacher. "What's the matter, boy, what's bothering you?"

Wayne considered the sentence for a while, and said with a hint of pleading, "For the seal practice later, can you set a goal for me by issuing a task, and then give me a little reward after I complete the goal? For example, a book, a little alchemy material, or even a verbal reward."

Hearing this, the old witcher was a little puzzled and inquired about the reason behind Wayne's request.

Wayne scratched his hair innocently, as if he was just a teenager who wanted praise, and said with a shy expression

"I feel that if you can set a goal for me, I will be more motivated to study and more efficient. Please, teacher, if you set a training goal for me every day, you can clearly feel my progress."

Facing his inexplicable request, Vesemir only considered for a few seconds before agreeing. Vesemir stroked his beard and said

"That's it, kid. If you can successfully cast the five seals during today's training, I will give you a reward."

As soon as the old witcher finished speaking, Wayne immediately heard the system prompt. Task triggered

[Training mission]: During the training process, successfully cast five seals- normal level.

Accept/Decline.

Wayne did not hesitate and immediately accepted the task. With his acceptance, the task appeared in his task list in text form, so that he could check it at any time.

This discovery made him very happy. The system was related to his future strength growth, and it was the reliance on his ability to survive in this dangerous and barbaric era. Now that he has discovered how to accept tasks, his strength will definitely grow faster.

Thinking of this, Wayne smiled happily, looked at his teacher, and said sincerely, "Thank you, teacher. After having this goal, I feel full of energy."

Vesemir didn't know his little thoughts, and after seeing the sincere smile on his face, his mood was also effected, and inexplicably became better. The old man showed a smile unconsciously on his face, and said,

"Okay, kid, it's time to start today's seal training."

Hearing this, Wayne immediately sat up straight. He paid great attention to every training session, never being lazy or slacking off. As a sports student, past experience told him that if the usual training is not hard enough, it is impossible to succeed when it comes to the real critical moment.

As the old saying goes, sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime.

Moreover, the seal is very important to the witchers. It can be said that without the seal and various functional potions, a witcher is not much different from an ordinary swordsman.

"Wayne, there are a total of five seals that we wolf school witchers often use. You have learned it before, now answer me, what are the five seals?"

For this question, Wayne didn't need to think at all, and just blurted it out.

"Sign of Fire, Igni."

"Defensive Sigil, Quen."

"Mind control, Axii."

"Telekinetic thrust, Aard."

"Magic trap, Yrden."

Vesemir nodded, then said, "These five seals can be cast with one hand, which does not affect our use of swordsmanship, but there is actually a two-handed seal that is not commonly used. The Seal of Heliotrope, this is a seal that can defend against the spell attacks of spellcasters".

"However, it is relatively difficult to cast this seal. I will teach you in the future after you have fully mastered these five single seals."

"Come on wayne, successfully cast these five seals. This is still a little difficult for you. My task is not so easy to complete."

Upon hearing this, Wayne immediately stood up and came to the center of the training ground. The way witchers cast spells is different from spellcasters such as warlocks, druids, and wizards. Those spellcasters are all born with spellcasting talent and favored by the magic power of chaos.

They release magic more through their own spirit and the magic power in their bodies, like dispatching troops and generals, mobilizing the chaotic magic power around them to form powerful magic.

This method of casting spells has very high requirements on the environment. The stronger the surrounding chaotic magic power, the stronger the power of their spells. This is also why, once they encounter the influence of anti-magic they become useless.
