Chapter 23

"Mmh, from the footprints, its den must be up north"

Rising from my position, I begin to follow the wyvern's trail, as you can, suspect, I have begun the second trial.

The hunt for the wyvern, as it is one of the essential elements for the making of the herbal test.

"I should go and get the ingredients to attract the wyvern and then probably land somewhere, it's raining heavily".

I walked towards the river and notice 2 drowners, taking my sword out of its scabbard, I throw Queen to protect myself, for indeed after the ordeal of the elements, Vesemir has dragged me to the sign.

Sign Aard is a sign of the wind, the witcher compresses the air and then rejects this compression which results in a powerful breath that makes it possible to destabilize or push back one or more enemies

Axii sign is a sign of confusion, during a fight this sign allows us to gain a little time to breathe or to make the enemies fight each other if there are several of them, out of the fight it can be useful because allows us to force the person to answer us.

Yrden sign is a sign of slowing down, as its name indicates, it allows you to slow down the people in the circle's range.

Sign Igni is a sign of flame, this sign is powerful because it allows you to launch an explosion of fire on the enemy with a risk of igniting it or allows you to explode explosive barrels.

Finally, the Queen sign is a sign of protection, as it allows the sorcerer to clothe himself with a magical layer covering him and allows him to resist a blow from the opponent without receiving damage.

The sign Hrívë Estel that I received, I, unfortunately, do not know is, according to Yen, he would have a possibility that it is an even language

The drowning man launched his first claw attack which I dodged, only to swing my sword in his hand, which was easily cut.

Screaming in pain and rage, the drowning man prepared to throw himself at me only to fall on the Igni I threw at him which burned his face.

Then I raised my sword to decapitate the draw, turning back to the crow who was expelled into the river, I saw him charging at me, but I threw an axe at him which made him lose his sense of combat for a moment, taking advantage of this moment, I threw a sword blow directly into his head which killed him directly.

"One good thing is done, unfortunately, I don't have time for their brains"

Putting my sword away in its scabbard, I dive into the river looking for Nerprun, an ingredient that helps attract the beast from miles away.

Tearing off the stem with my knife, I surfaced and headed for the cave where I took refuge.

Arriving at the cave, my horse was still there with my bait which is a sheep.

(Give the horse a name, otherwise, I call her Epona ;))

Stroking my horse's mane, I sat down by my fire then I take a bowl of clay, and put the Nerprun in the bowl then with a tool I started to crush the Nerprun to make a kind of oatmeal.

While I was making the ingredient to attract the wyvern, I didn't notice that the time passed quickly and the rain stopped.

Taking the ewe, I headed for a plain where the wyvern's tracks were fresh, and then tying the ewe to a tree, I spread Nerprun all over her wool.

"Sorry, little sheep, tell yourself that thanks to you, I will manage to kill a wyvern"

Patting the ewe on the head one last time, I moved to the bushes to hide and got into a meditative position.

"Well, nothing left to do but wait" Calming my breathing, I wait

---------------------------------

"CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYA" A shrill cry woke me from my meditation and I saw a wyvern circling the terrified sheep, readying my crossbow and sword with the oil against the Draconian, I rushed at the wyvern as it began to eat the sheep.

Throwing Queen, I swing my sword at the wyvern wing, but the wyvern sensed me and swung her tail at me, which pushed me back onto a log, although I took no damage thanks to the Queen.

"I figured this was going to be hot, if it wasn't for the Queen, I'd be bone crushed by now."

Throwing another queen, I braced myself for the Wyvern charging at me.

The wyvern tried to bite me or swing her tail at me to push me away, but dodging, I managed to land a few blows that started to make her bleed.

Throwing the axe sign which stuns her for 2 seconds, I stepped back to reposition myself and catch my breath, as it's already been a few minutes where I've had to concentrate constantly.

"Ahh... Ahh... it's complicated, but why am I smiling?"

Indeed, at this very moment, I am smiling

"Do I have a passion for fighting?"

As the wyvern returned to a fighting position, I prepared in one of my hands a surprise.

The wyvern began to charge me, but I was able to destabilize her by casting my ice spell, which attacked her eyes and helped to destabilize her. I then prepared the Igni sign and the Aard sign with my two hands and then cast both simultaneously. A terrible explosion of flame rushed at the wyvern, though I was expelled directly into a tree sign Queen, however, protected me.

"For the improvisation of two signs at the same time, I should see this training."

"For now."

Wiping the blood from my mouth, I stood up and walked over to the wyvern who was lying in pain and had those wings, completely burnt, looking at me with hatred, well, that's what I think.

"Sorry, but I need your glands" As I said these words, I stabbed my sword directly into her head, killing her instantly.

"Pfiou, tough fight, but nice" Retrieving those glands, I moved towards the still suffering sheep, as the Wyvern hadn't had time to kill it completely.

"May you join the sheep's paradise" Then I kill the sheep to end this suffering?

"Come on, let's head for the castle, soon I can pass the test of the herbs" Clasping my hands in joy, I take one last look at the castle before heading for my horse
