Borch's Gift

Early the next morning, when Wayne left Keira's mansion, he had about a thousand Oren coins on him, along with the rewards for the mission and the spoils of war. Additionally, as a reward for his recent efforts, Keira gave him a small gift: camouflage glasses.

These glasses can disguise his eyes to appear as dark blue, like those of ordinary people. They can also camouflage his normal human ears. This camouflage is simple, and if the glasses are damaged or affected by magic, the effect will be invalidated. Nonetheless, it's a practical tool for Wayne. If he needs to disguise himself as a regular human instead of revealing his identity as a witcher, it can help avoid unnecessary trouble. He plans to test the glasses himself first, and if they work well, he'll ask her to make a few more as gifts for his fellow witchers.

Upon returning home, Wayne found himself alone, which immediately made him feel more relaxed. However, he soon realized he still had tasks to attend to. He quickly went to his room, closed the door, took a hot bath, changed into loose and comfortable clothes, lit some incense, and settled back into bed. After some devout prayers, taking advantage of the last day of blessing from the goddess of the lake, he accessed the system to open the treasure chests again.

In addition to the expert-level treasure chest from the dragon hunting mission and the one obtained from the recent mission, there were over a dozen normal-level treasure chests he had obtained previously stored in his system.

*Ding!* Treasure chests opened: 2 expert treasure chests and 13 common treasure chests.

Obtained: 352 Oren, Dragon Scale x100, Church Hunter's Blood Vial.

As the system's voice faded, two items immediately appeared beside Wayne. One is the size of a child's fist, neatly stacked gray-red carapace-like scales, with blood threads still present at the roots of these scales. The other is a brown glass jar with a capacity of about one liter, filled with bright red, thick unknown blood. On the outside of the glass jar, there is a piece of text written in a special language, but Wayne doesn't understand it.

Looking at these two items, Wayne suddenly felt dizzy and wasn't as happy as when he received other rewards. The dragon scale is a rare item from an expert-level treasure chest, while the blood collection bottle is a rare item from a common-level treasure chest.

Dragon Scale: It comes from the belly scale of a giant dragon recently killed in Skyrim Province. This is an excellent material for making various light and medium-sized armors.

Church Hunter's Blood Vial: It's a blood collection bottle from a deceased hunter of the Church of Healing in Yharnam. This blood, when consumed, can slowly heal injuries and diseases. However, it contains unknown substances with unpredictable effects.

Reading the item descriptions provided by the system, Wayne realized that all the rewards he received were forcibly taken by the system from other worlds, essentially stolen. Both the blood collection bottle and the dragon scale have their original owners. Although the former owner is dead, the latter, taken as a trophy from a slain dragon, made Wayne feel a twinge of guilt. When someone who has just killed a dragon and collected loot finds that their loot has suddenly been lost, they must be quite disappointed.

But soon, he put this sense of guilt into his heart. Hey, there is no way, this is not something he can decide. Just like the space cracks back then, if he had a choice, he would definitely not have blotted it dry, causing a possible hidden danger. But the system did not give him a chance to choose. Either do nothing or accept the result. To make himself stronger and enhance his ability to protect himself, he just made a decision that most people would choose.

Having packed up his mood, Wayne put the bundle of dragon scales in a box and stored it. This is an excellent top-level armor material. Unfortunately, he doesn't have an excellent armor blueprint in his hand now, so he can only wait until he has a chance in the future to take it out and use it again.

As for the blood collection bottle, anyone who has played the game knows that it contains the diluted blood of the ancient gods, a very strange blood. Although it can indeed cure many incurable diseases, if ordinary people take it, no one knows what will happen. Maybe they will be infected by the blood of the ancient gods and become monsters who only know how to kill. But it's a pity to throw it away. Wayne put it in a storage bag, maybe in the future, it will be useful one day.

Since there was no work arrangement, Wayne seemed to have nothing to do after opening the treasure chest. But at night, he had to go to the lake to meet Fitz, so he could only try his best to arrange some trivial things for himself, and he couldn't miss the appointment again. Just when he was struggling, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the gate.

"Wayne, my friend, I've come to visit you."

As soon as he heard the voice, Wayne knew that it was Borch who had come. It had been seven days since they parted, and it was almost time for him to visit.

Without thinking too much, Wayne immediately came out of the house and greeted this good friend at the gate. However, what surprised him was that apart from the two Zerrikan female warriors who came with Borch, there was actually a beautiful girl about 16 years old, and a girl in pink. She was about four or five years old, and she was a little girl with a lively and curious face. As soon as the two sides met, the little girl immediately cheered, ran over with short legs, hugged Wayne's calf, and looked up at him with a smile on her head. And the 16-year-old girl looked arrogant and impatient, raised her head, and snorted without saying anything.

Wayne is not a fool. Seeing this scene, he immediately thought of Borch's ability to transform, as well as the mate, green dragon, and his child he just got. The two sides didn't say much outside, he welcomed everyone into his room and brought out pastries, candy, and juice to entertain everyone. After some exchanges, Wayne did not guess wrong. This 16-year-old girl with an impatient expression is Borch's mate, the green dragon Myrgtabrakke. And that cute little girl is, of course, the baby dragon Saesenthessis.

As for why they became like this, Borch has a bold personality. He didn't explain much but took out a golden scale the size of a palm from his arms, and took out a dragon scale from his waist. The golden horn carved from teeth and the huge wooden box that Via and Tia had been carrying all along were placed on the table in front of Wayne. While patting the wooden box, he laughed loudly and said:

"My friend, I came here this time to give you a reward."

"I said a long time ago that I will not let my friend suffer, and the reward this time will definitely satisfy you."
