Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Yennefer's Embarrassment and Pre-War Preparations

"Oh, is that true, my dear?"

"Then you must rest well. I have a magical potion to restore your energy; please take it."

Margarita was indeed an easy sorceress to deal with.

Guilliman had only casually mentioned that he also had some depletion, and she immediately showed great concern, even giving him a seemingly expensive magic potion.

However, as she spoke, the Headmistress suddenly thought of something, and with an excited expression, she shook the man's arm and said,

"My dear, do you think Yennefer's amnesia might also be due to soul damage?"

"If you help her with soul healing, she might recover her memories."

At these words, Guilliman had no reaction, but Yennefer suddenly stood up, her expression a mix of embarrassment and anger, and she glared at Margarita, saying,

"What are you talking about, Margarita?"

"How could I possibly do such a thing with your man?"

"Besides, haven't you all said that I have a boyfriend, and Geralt of Rivia, the White Wolf, is my boyfriend?"

"How could I betray him while I have a boyfriend?"

Margarita, who had been glared at, said somewhat aggrieved,

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like you haven't done similar things before."

"You used to have two boyfriends at once, and that White Wolf even dueled your ex-boyfriend to win you over."

"And it's all for treating amnesia. I don't mind, so why do you?"

Watching the two sorceresses argue, Guilliman rubbed his forehead. Although he didn't mind, the premise was that she had to be willing.

He stroked Margarita's golden hair and said in a persuasive tone,

"No need to rush, Margarita."

"Time isn't that pressing right now."

"You and Yennefer can try other methods first."

"If it really doesn't work, then consider this plan as a last resort."

...By the time he left the house where the two sorceresses resided, it was already past noon.

After he'sold his looks,' nineteen wyvern eggs were sold for a high price of 5,700 Orens, at 300 Orens per egg, double the market price.

He wondered if Margarita would lose money after making the aphrodisiacs.

However, Guilliman believed that most of it should be considered his'selling price.'

After all, he would have to be with Margarita every month. If calculated this way, even though he was being kept by a wealthy sorceress, he should actually be at a considerable loss.

However, due to his close relationship with Margarita, after getting the Headmistress's permission, he used the Axii Sign to extract the souls from these nineteen dragon eggs, obtaining a total of 950 soul power, bringing his total soul power to over a thousand points again.

After all, the Headmistress only used the special substances in the dragon eggs to produce aphrodisiacs, which had nothing to do with whether there were souls inside the dragon eggs.

If he didn't extract them, it would be a waste, so why not?

Unexpectedly gaining nearly a thousand points of soul power was a pleasant surprise that greatly invigorated Guilliman.

That afternoon was the scheduled treatment time with Princess Adda.

Accompanied by the royal advisor, Ms. Triss, the witcher once again met the beautiful and charming Princess Adda.

Having had the first experience, the second treatment went quite smoothly.

After a series of operations, only one-third of the remaining striga curse in the princess's body had not been removed.

Guilliman absorbed these curses and gained over sixty points of soul power, which was better than nothing.

After leaving the palace, Guilliman visited the medical prodigy Shani and also checked on his future apprentice, Alvin.

Unfortunately, Shani seemed to have reached a crucial point in her research and only gave a quick greeting before getting back to work.

Alvin, on the other hand, remained very sensible. Since confirming that he would apprentice under him, he had become increasingly respectful of Guilliman, his savior and master.

Guilliman, of course, was not stingy. He took out a purse with fifty Orens and handed it to Caroline, instructing her to buy more meat and nutritious food during this period.

Once the matters of Black Gull Island were settled, Alvin's sword training would officially be put on the agenda, and before that, it was best to build a strong body.

Moreover, after meeting Headmistress Margarita, regarding Berengar's arm and the bloodline ascension ritual needed to advance to the extraordinary rank, he now had a high-level healer as a helper, which completely put his mind at ease.

What he lacked now was still soul cultivation and a large amount of soul power.

Guilliman deliberated for a long time and finally set his sights on the tens of thousands of evil Drowners in Lake Vizima and the god-spawn Dagon.

He estimated that by dealing with these two targets, and casually grinding and killing monsters, and perhaps flirting with the Lady of the Lake, the conditions for advancing to the extraordinary rank should be met.

However, before that, he still had to prepare a batch of combat supplies.

The previous combat supplies were prepared in Amethyst Village, but the resources in the elven village were limited. Although many witcher potions were prepared, alchemical bombs and other weapons were not made in large quantities due to rudimentary conditions.

Now in Vizima, the capital of the Kingdom of Temeria, materials would certainly not be lacking.

And after learning some knowledge from the Wolf School, the bombs he could make were no longer just beehive bombs.

He had even learned how to make powerful Northern Wind bombs and anti-magic bombs specifically for spellcasters.

With plenty of spare money now, Guilliman directly took out three thousand Orens and began a major shopping spree in the city, then went into seclusion to cultivate and create various alchemical weapons.

Not only that, due to his partnership with the alchemist master Kalkstein, he specifically sought out this alchemist master and bought many alchemical poisons from him that were specially designed to deal with evil Drowners.

Combat preparations lasted for three days. Aside from occasionally going to Margarita at night, the witcher's entire energy was focused on making alchemical bombs.

Because they were made in large quantities, the cost of the bombs was reduced.

Over two hundred beehive bombs, twenty Dragon's Dream bombs, ten Northern Wind bombs, and five anti-magic bombs were all put into the witcher's storage space.

Not only that, but there were also many other effective tools for dealing with Drowners, such as large quantities of alchemical fire, fishing nets, and poisons.

After all preparations were complete, the journey to Black Gull Island was about to officially begin.
