Chapter 223: Returning to the Wizard World with the Giant Army

The process of conquering the giant race was quite smooth. Although those few battles resulted in the death of all the elite warriors among the giants.

But it was precisely because of this that Geralt broke their backbone, destroyed their ability to resist, and made this group of giants easier to control, so they wouldn't overestimate themselves and cause trouble.

For him, power that can be controlled is power; power that cannot be controlled is just a threat.

And after obtaining a huge amount of wealth and a giant army, all his main purposes in this world were achieved.

Thus, Geralt gave the order to evacuate to all the remaining giants, letting them bring all their belongings and go to the ground along the magic vine. He prepared to take this army back to the Wizard World.

After dealing with the giant's affairs, Geralt returned to Princess Isabelle's side and said to the princess: "Princess Isabelle, the matter here has been dealt with. We are preparing to return to the ground."

After speaking, he said to the few surviving royal guards beside the princess for the first time:

"When returning to the ground, I will prepare a rope for you. You can tie it to your body, and I will take you back to the ground together."

"Of course, you can also choose to climb down yourself. I will not stop you."

Although Elmont and others did not fully trust Geralt, they did not want to be separated from the princess, so they could only nod with somewhat stiff faces and chose the method of hanging by a rope.

Princess Isabelle didn't care much about these. She just looked curiously at the giants who were rushing to the skull fortress and asked: "Mr. Geralt, how do you plan to arrange those giants?"

Geralt heard this, looked at the princess, and did not hide it, saying straightforwardly: "After all these giants leave here, I will take them to a distant place."

"I estimate that you will never see these giants again, and you don't need to worry about the threat of these giants anymore."

Isabelle heard this and was first a bit happy. She was probably the one among everyone most willing to believe Geralt. The time the two spent together was also the longest. But soon the girl thought of something, and her expression was a bit dim as she asked: "Are you going to leave the Kingdom of Albion, Mr. Geralt? Do we still have a chance to meet again?"

Hearing the string and knowing the elegance, Geralt heard the subtext of the princess.

Perhaps this princess had a good impression of him, but for this princess, he probably just had the protection of the task target and the care for a beautiful girl.

Thus, he just let his voice be as calm as possible and said: "Perhaps, Princess. Perhaps I will never return here, perhaps I will come back to see in a few years or decades. The lifespan of us wizards is very long, and the lifespan of ordinary people is just a very short time for us."

He used such a reason to gently remind Princess Isabelle that there was a huge gap between the two, and it was very difficult to become lovers.

This beautiful princess heard this, and the smile on her face faded a bit. A trace of dimness appeared in her emerald green eyes, and she became much more silent.

Geralt saw it in his eyes but did not persuade her. After others were ready, he drove the Magic Flying Carpet, with a sturdy rope hanging under the carpet, tying the few surviving royal guards and the farmer Jack, and then took the princess and descended toward the ground quickly along the magic vine.

Because the position of the giant continent was too high, the control of the Magic Flying Carpet was quite difficult, but Geralt could still do it just by controlling it to descend.

And in the process of descending, he could clearly feel that Princess Isabelle seemed no longer as reserved as before, her hands hugging his waist, and her body sticking closer.

If it weren't for her height, it is estimated that this princess would also want to lean her head on his shoulder.

For this kind of behavior, he adopted an attitude of letting nature take its course, neither encouraging nor stopping it. Perhaps this adventure was the only wonderful journey in the life of this princess who had lived in the palace for a long time.

Everyone is not a chaste woman. If the other party is willing to have something happen with him, Geralt will not hypocritically refuse.

The process of descending was much easier than climbing. Under his control, they took more than an hour to descend from the high altitude of nearly ten thousand meters and soon landed on the ground.

Because the giant continent was too high, they passed through several cloud layers along the way and suffered the attack of rainstorms and cold winds.

Under his protection, Princess Isabelle did not feel anything unusual, but the guards who were hung up suffered a bit.

However, this could be considered a pretty good treatment, at least much more comfortable than the risk of falling to death and climbing down from a high altitude of more than ten thousand meters.

By the time Geralt and others approached the ground, they had already seen that King Brauwell had gathered an army of several hundred people, surrounded the entire magic vine, and even pushed over several small ballistae. Many colorful tents were set up into a military camp at a place not far from the vine.

And on the outskirts of the army, there was a large crowd of onlookers, and even many peddlers shouting to sell, which looked very lively.

The people below saw the Magic Flying Carpet descending rapidly from the high sky, and the few people hanging under the Magic Flying Carpet, and immediately let out a burst of exclamation.

King Brauwell heard the exclamation outside and soon ran out of his tent. When he saw his daughter being protected by Geralt behind him, safe and sound, and slowly walking off the Magic Flying Carpet to the ground, he almost shed tears.

This was his only daughter, his only heir, his only family. If his daughter unfortunately passed away, the royal bloodline of their lineage would be broken.

Geralt led Princess Isabelle to the king, then handed her hand to the king, and said: "Your Majesty the King, your commission has been completed."

After speaking, he waved his hand to interrupt what the king wanted to say, and then said: "After you finish listening to what happened in the sky from Princess Isabelle and your royal guards, let's talk about my reward."

After speaking, he bowed slightly to the king and the princess, and without waiting for the king's response, turned and left.

He vividly displayed the image of a proud and somewhat cold wizard.

And as he sent the princess to the king's side, the master-level task received from King Brauwell also issued a completion prompt.

Ding! 【Rescue the Runaway Princess】 Master-level, completed.

Activity: Master-level Treasure Chest *1, Experience Points 450.

With the entry of 450 experience points, Geralt's level had reached more than half of level eleven. It is estimated that after Letho and others' Grandmaster-level equipment diagram task is completed and he gets the experience of that master-level task, he will be able to rise to level twelve.

Geralt's departure was not blocked by anyone. He came to a place relatively close to the magic vine and with a good view, skillfully set up a campfire, and began to cook lunch for himself. Although the battle with the giants could not be called dangerous, it was quite physically exhausting after a round of exercise. When he had nothing to do, he took out the books purchased from this world and read them at will. According to the speed of the giants, it is estimated that it would take a day for them to rush from the skull fortress to the position of the magic vine and climb down from above.

Geralt actually didn't care about King Brauwell's attitude. Even if he wanted to oppose it now, or even concentrate his strength to cut down the entire magic vine, it was already too late.

It's just that if both sides conflict, then the ones who die must be those ordinary soldiers who protect the kingdom. It is better to avoid it if it can be avoided.

I only hope that Princess Isabelle and Elmont, who had seen his strength, could well persuade the king not to let this matter add more trouble.

About an hour later, Geralt was full and was meditating on a stone when Princess Isabelle walked over.

After she walked nearby and Geralt opened his eyes, a shallow smile appeared on the princess's face, and she said: "Mr. Geralt, my father hopes to invite you to discuss some things. He is waiting for you in the tent."

Geralt stood up, nodded to the princess, and went to the huge tent where King Brauwell was with Isabelle.

At this time in the tent, King Brauwell of Albion, the general, and the captain of the Royal Guard were all standing there with serious expressions.

Seeing Geralt and the princess come in together, the king looked at Geralt with astonished eyes and examined him carefully. If it weren't for the description of his own daughter and the trustworthy captain of the Royal Guard, Elmont, he would really find it hard to believe that someone could defeat dozens of giants eight or nine meters tall by himself.

Even the wizard in the story had never heard of such powerful strength.

However, now, not only did the magic crown fall into the hands of this mysterious wizard, but even the giant race submitted to the wizard in front of him.

With the strength of the Kingdom of Albion, perhaps it could no longer pose a threat to the other party.

With the strength of the Kingdom of Albion, even if the king issued an emergency call and wanted to gather thousands of soldiers, it was not a matter of one or two days.

Not to mention that thousands of soldiers might not be able to defeat hundreds of giants.

However, according to his daughter's description, this wizard was preparing to take the giant race away from here, away from this kingdom, and the giant race would probably never come back.

Although he could not fully believe this promise, now, he could only pray that the other party could really complete his promise.

This old king squeezed a smile on his face and said in a somewhat grateful tone: "Thank you, Master Geralt, I have already learned about your actions from my daughter's mouth."

"You defeated the evil giants, saved my daughter, and also thwarted Roderick's conspiracy."

"I heard that you are going to take these evil giants away from our kingdom soon."

"May I ask, what is the reward you need, and is there anything we can do to help you?"

Geralt was quite satisfied with the king's polite attitude. And when the king asked him for his reward, he mischievously looked at Princess Isabelle. After the princess's face became a bit flushed and the old king's expression became a bit stiff, Geralt said: "It's not a big deal, Your Majesty the King. Because I am going to take this group of giants on a long-distance trip, I hope you can help me prepare as much food and supplies as possible, the more the better."

"As for this Gantua continent connected by the magic vine, we estimate that we will not come back."

"I will give this territory as a gift to Princess Isabelle."

To make this old fox king more at ease, Geralt said in a quite indifferent tone: "And Your Majesty the King, don't worry. Wizards like us have lived for I don't know how many years. I don't care about worldly power, territory, wealth, and other vulgar things."

"You don't have to worry that I will pose any threat to your kingdom."

"You should have heard the princess talk about it. With my strength, even if I really want to do something, I don't need the help of these giants."

Geralt's words were hard, making people feel uncomfortable, but this King Brauwell felt more at ease. He showed a sincere smile on his face, nodded to Geralt, and said:

"Of course I believe you, Master Geralt. You are my daughter's savior."

"I will have people handle your request now."

"Tonight, I will hold a small celebration banquet here to thank you for your help."

"By tomorrow, I will disperse the commoners here, and you can rest assured to take those giants away. Our people will no longer hinder you."

………………

After the banquet, Geralt was about to enter the magic tent to rest when he suddenly saw a girl wearing a gorgeous long dress walking toward him secretly. It was Princess Isabelle, who was dressed quite beautifully.

After the two looked at each other, the girl's cheeks had a slight blush, and she said in a pleasant voice:

"Mr. Geralt, you are leaving tomorrow. Can I play with you tonight, the interesting card game you taught me?"

Hearing the girl's proposal, Geralt looked behind Princess Isabelle and found that several members of the Royal Guard were secretly following behind her, but no one came to stop them.

Geralt sighed slightly in his heart, but did not refuse. He pulled open the curtain of the magic tent and said softly: "Please come in, Princess."

"You are dressed very beautifully tonight."

This was the first time Geralt praised her. Hearing his praise, Princess Isabelle smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, then bent down and crawled into Geralt's magic tent.

Until noon the next day, no one came to disturb the two.

And after they left the tent, amidst the exclamations of some soldiers, countless giants of huge size were slowly climbing down along the magic vine that led directly to the sky.
