Chapter 226: New Residents of Kaer Morhen

Although he had only stayed in Toussaint for less than two months, Wayne's experiences were very rich. After he described various encounters and adventures to Vesemir with some embellishments, the old witcher frowned frequently.

"Sigh! I haven't heard from Elan for so many years. I didn't expect him to have died in Toussaint."

"I once gave him a blueprint for Master-level armor of the Wolf School and asked him to find Master Tuomasimolv in Toussaint."

"This happened many years ago, when you were still a child."

Listening to Vesemir sighing about the Wolf School's blueprint and the dead Elan, Wayne also felt some emotion.

Although he was excited when he got these blueprints, behind every blueprint actually represented the passing of a witcher.

He looked at the old witcher and asked tentatively:

"Master, do you think it is feasible for me to invite witchers from other schools to join the Witcher Order together?"

Vesemir looked up at Wayne and did not give his answer directly, but analyzed it for him:

"From the information you have collected, except for the Bear School on Skellige, witchers from other schools have lost their academies and basically have no successors."

"If you are confident in solving the inheritance problems of the various schools, then I think it is a great temptation for other schools."

"Although the various schools went their separate ways due to disputes over philosophy back then, now, the number of people in each of our schools has been reduced to single digits. Perhaps your generation can resolve each other's contradictions through your own efforts."

Perhaps because the old witcher didn't want to dampen Wayne's enthusiasm, his words in this regard were very tactful and full of encouragement.

Wayne also listened very comfortably. Having such an elder support him was the greatest encouragement for him. Moreover, he had confidence in himself. As a man with a cheat, a man with "money power," even saving the world was not a problem, let alone such a thing.

The old and the young talked for a long time and exchanged their thoughts. As they talked, they talked about the batch of new residents who were about to arrive.

The old witcher was always worried about the trust issue between the two. After all, he was a witcher who had experienced hundreds of years and had rich life experience. He knew very well that trust between people was quite fragile; even the closest lovers or brothers could betray each other, let alone a large number of refugees.

Wayne, on the other hand, had great confidence in the ability of the magic crown and also had great confidence in his own strength. However, faced with his master's worries, he still revealed some ambiguous information and explained:

"Master, you can rest assured about this point. In fact, this batch of new residents is a giant race trapped in a certain different plane. Their strength is not very powerful, and they have no one to rely on in our world, so there are no hidden dangers."

"Master, the reason I am confident that I can control them is because I obtained a magical treasure. This treasure was specially created to deal with these giants. It can control the will of those giants and make them unable to violate my orders."

"These guys used to be a humanoid race that ate everything like trolls, and even preyed on humans."

"If they really cause any trouble, then let them perish. I took them in originally to use them as workers, soldiers, or slaves. Even if they all die, it is their deserved end."

Vesemir was surprised by the giant race and different plane Wayne mentioned and hurriedly asked for some details. But seeing his apprentice speak so confidently, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and accepted this fact.

Two days passed quickly. When the time agreed with Triss to open the portal arrived, Wayne took the magic item and Vesemir, rode the magic flying carpet to the back mountain of Kaer Morhen, and set up the portal with the help of the magic node there.

After the preparation work was completed, the magic item reacted. A large amount of chaos magic began to gather above the magic item. A large portal twelve or thirteen meters high and six or seven meters wide quickly formed under the pull of magic, gradually stabilized, and revealed the deep, void-like interior.

Seeing such a scene, Vesemir, who was standing on the side, sighed: "I haven't seen this level of sorceress magic for a long time. It seems that the order sorceress you invited has quite some skills."

Wayne didn't show humility. He showed a somewhat showy smile to Vesemir and said:

"Thank you for your compliment, Master. This sorceress's name is Triss. She is an excellent graduate of Aretuza and is also my girlfriend right now. She is a trustworthy person."

Vesemir glanced at his apprentice, snorted, and said: "Triss, so it's that red-haired sorceress we met last time. Lambert even said that when we were fighting for our lives against the evil god, you two were hiding in the back kissing."

"However, that girl does look like a good girl. You must grasp the relationship between you two well and cherish your relationship."

Faced with this topic, the philandering Master Wayne felt a bit embarrassed and didn't want to talk more.

Soon, the large portal had been constructed. The first to walk out from inside was a giant who was nine meters tall, wearing armor and carrying a huge two-handed axe. It was the current giant general, Glas.

When he saw Wayne standing not far away, he subconsciously wanted to kneel and kowtow. Wayne stopped him with his eyes, then pointed to the open space not far from the portal, and said in a flat tone: "Take your clansmen and wait for my orders in that open space, Glas."

"As you command, Master."

Glas nodded respectfully on one knee upon hearing this, and then walked quickly toward the direction Wayne mentioned.

And after that, soon the second giant and the third giant walked out. After all, they were creatures with normal intelligence. They didn't need Wayne's instructions at all and followed the back of the giant general in front very obediently to the open space not far away.

Seeing this, Vesemir raised his eyebrows in surprise, surprised by the size and intelligence of these giants, and also surprised by these giants' obedience to Wayne and their address of "Master."

It seems that as this child said, he has completely subdued these alien giants.

As a pragmatist, Vesemir has now begun to consider how to arrange work for these giants.

He has always been troubled by the lack of workers and materials to repair Kaer Morhen castle, and it seems there is a solution now.

After about twenty minutes, more than two hundred giants walked out of the large portal in an orderly manner.

These tall creatures crowded the open space under the entire portal. The scale of more than two hundred people looked even more shocking than more than a thousand human soldiers.

Soon, as the portal began to shrink, Triss, wearing a beautiful long dress and a golden crown, also walked out of the large portal.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and before she could speak, she was hugged by Wayne, who walked up, and they had a deep French kiss.

After two minutes, seeing that the two were still kissing and showed no signs of separating.

Vesemir coughed lightly and said:

"It's time to get down to business, child. The sweetness between you young people should be saved for the night."

"Let's solve the business first." Wayne didn't feel embarrassed at all upon hearing this. He let go of Triss and said to Vesemir:

"Master, please take Triss to visit our castle."

"As the current chief sorceress of the order, she should understand her working environment."

After speaking, he touched Triss's face again and said gently:

"Plan well for us, my dear. Our castle hasn't had a professional sorceress for a long time. If you lack any experimental equipment or materials, don't worry about it."

"In the early stage, I will give you one hundred thousand Orens as funds. You must use this money well. I believe you will definitely be able to achieve results."

"One hundred thousand Orens?"

Hearing Wayne say this number, not only Triss but even Vesemir was stunned. To be honest, even a Master-level witcher like Vesemir probably had never seen what it felt like to have more than ten thousand gold coins piled together.

Triss first looked at Wayne blankly for a few seconds, then stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, before saying with a sweet smile: "Thank you, my dear. You actually trust me so much."

"I am already considering whether to give up my job as a royal advisor and work for you wholeheartedly."

"I have never seen such a large sum of money."

Wayne was not too proud of this. After all, although this wealth from the giants was a lot, it couldn't accomplish any truly major things.

Moreover, compared to the dwarf treasure of the Lonely Mountain in Middle-earth, this bit of gold was probably just a drop in the bucket.

"Child, where did you get so much money? Did you discover some treasure?"

Hearing Vesemir's question and Triss's curious gaze, Wayne smiled modestly, then looked at the giants not far away with his eyes and said: "This was collected by those giants, but as their master, it all belongs to me now."

………………

After a brief conversation, Vesemir took Triss to Kaer Morhen castle. This was the first time in decades that a sorceress had entered this ancient castle, and she was doing so as an order sorceress.

As the saying goes, there is a specialty in the art industry. Although witchers have a superficial understanding of many magical knowledge, they are still far behind professional sorceresses.

Witchers are just warriors after all. Only with the help of professional sorceresses can many of their studies continue.

After a brief conversation, when Vesemir and Triss left, Wayne boarded the magic flying carpet and came to the giants, saying to the new giant general Glas:

"Glas, bring your clansmen and follow me. The place we are going to now is your future home."

"You can live in this fertile land and wait for my dispatch at any time."

"As long as you and your clansmen can be one hundred percent loyal to me and obey my orders, your race can live safely."

As the saying goes, use both carrots and sticks. After saying some threatening words, he softened his tone and said: "This world is more dangerous than you imagine, but it is also more full of opportunities than you imagine."

"After living here for a period of time, you can try to continue to breed your offspring."

"Perhaps the trouble you couldn't breed in Gantuwa has already been solved after coming to this world."

Hearing Wayne's words, the giants present even forgot their fear and obedience and couldn't help but talk in low voices.

The giant race could actually breed through reproduction thousands of years ago, but as time passed, their pregnancy rate became smaller and smaller, and fewer and fewer offspring were born. More than a thousand years ago, the number of the entire giant race stopped increasing.

This also made their entire race full of negative emotions, becoming more chaotic and violent, and even several cases of fratricide occurred.

After research, Wayne guessed that it was very likely that the magic in Elizabeth's world had receded, and the magic concentration had greatly decreased. As a race born in the magic era, the giants lost their reproductive ability because of this.

But the chaos magic of the Witcher world, in addition to the magic of this world itself, also mixed with the magic of many other worlds after the Conjunction of the Spheres.

In this world, this giant race should have a high probability of regaining the power of reproduction.

Although he had doubts about Wayne's words in his heart, Glas was a smart giant; otherwise, he couldn't have survived the confrontation with Wayne.

Just after Wayne finished speaking, he immediately led his clansmen to kneel down respectfully and bowed their heads in praise:

"Thank you, Master. Thank you for bringing us to a new home and allowing our race to continue to reproduce."

Regardless of whether this was true or not, he thanked him first. Now the fate of the entire race was in the hands of this human in front of him, and Glas just wanted his clansmen to continue to live.

Wayne was quite satisfied with Glas's attitude, so he took this group of giants along the back mountain to the foot of Kaer Morhen, and let them settle down near a mountain peak not far from the lake.

The arrival of these hundreds of giants scared the ogres on the back mountain, and even these silly guys didn't dare to show their faces and hid in their nests one after another.

And the settlement point Wayne chose was quite good. It had a large forest, was close to water sources, was not far from Kaer Morhen, and even had natural caves for the giants to live in temporarily. It was a very good habitat.

And this group of giants from Gantuwa were not barbarians without civilization. Although their level of civilization was not as good as humans, it had almost reached the level of the early Middle Ages. They possessed their own various technologies, blacksmithing, forging, animal husbandry, fishing, and also possessed their own construction technology, so Wayne didn't need to worry too much.

After he brought this group of giants there, he let them cut down trees and build houses for themselves, and also allowed them to fish in the lake, and then temporarily became a hands-off manager.

The Blue Mountains were vast and rich in resources, plus the supplies they brought back from King Brauwel, they would not lack food for at least three months.

With these three months, it would be enough for these giants to gain a firm foothold.
