Chapter 269: Shocked Triss and the Piled-up Gold Mountain
"Is this the world you live in, Teacher?"
After passing through a large portal more than ten meters high and coming from Middle-earth to the Wizard World, Aragorn, carrying a wooden sword and walking at the front of a group of children, stretched his little head and looked around, then asked the first question.
He was just a ten-year-old boy, at the age of strongest curiosity.
"There are so many stones here, but it doesn't look much different from our world!"
"I didn't expect Teacher to be someone living in another world. No wonder you can do those earth-shattering things."
The portal exit in Middle-earth was located in the forest outside Maribor, which was the stone forest where Wayne and Triss eliminated the Leshen.
After returning to his world, Wayne looked around, then took a deep breath in the air filled with Chaos Magic, and couldn't help but show a comfortable smile.
He reached out and touched Aragorn's head, smiling and saying:
"Yes, Aragorn, this is my world."
"This world is not as beautiful as Middle-earth. It is full of war and plunder, full of barbarism and deception, and is a quite dangerous world."
"But it's just right for you, a good place to practice swordplay."
Aragorn tilted his head in misunderstanding, but hearing Wayne say it was a good place to practice swordplay, his expression also became a bit excited.
After the Deathclaw, which had grown to about ten meters, came out of the portal, under Wayne's control, this portal channel, which cost one ability point to open, finally began to shrink slowly and finally disappeared into the air.
This time, besides the Deathclaw Robin, Aragorn, and those twenty children, there were also those 100 elf warhorses and some goods he prepared, mainly the pipe-weed accumulated over the years.
Originally he also planned to bring the Direwolf White Fang back, but he didn't pay attention for ten years, and that guy actually found a group of female wolves as mates in the woods behind Wayne Manor, and even gave birth to a bunch of little wolves, becoming the leader of a wolf pack.
As a Direwolf, its size was comparable to an orc's Warg. In front of ordinary forest wolves, it belonged to the absolute king, and it was normal to be the king in the forest.
Now it also had its own life, and Wayne did not break up its family, simply letting White Fang serve as the guardian beast of Wayne Manor, accompanying the old butler Old Ford.
He looked around and found that the time in the Wizard World was about noon. After considering for a few seconds, Wayne took out a metal device inlaid with various gems from his space bracelet. This was another communicator manufactured by Triss imitating Francesca's communicator, specifically used to contact her.
Now Wayne had even told Triss the secret of traveling through different worlds, and there were not many things between them that needed to be covered up.
He injected Chaos Magic into the magic device in his hand, and until all the gems on the device lit up, after a few seconds, a voice with a bit of a spoiled tone came over.
"Dear, is that you?"
"You have been missing for almost two months, and I have been unable to contact you. Did you go to another world again?"
Hearing that it was Triss's somewhat sweet voice, the corner of Wayne's mouth couldn't help but carry a smile. He did not hide it, but said straightforwardly: "Yes, dear, I just returned from another world. Do you have time now?"
"If you have, just come to my current coordinate. I am outside Maribor."
"The harvest of this trip to another world is also very big, and I want to share this good news with you first."
Hearing the doting in Wayne's tone, Triss on the other side of the communicator also let out a sweet laugh, and immediately said with a smile:
"Okay, dear, you go to a more open place and wait for me, I will come over immediately."
A few minutes later, in an open space in the stone forest, accompanied by the strange sound of violent vibration of Chaos Magic, with a *bang*, in the curious eyes of the children, a small portal appeared from small to large, and soon appeared beside Wayne.
Aragorn, while directing the children of about his age to keep order, stared wide-eyed, curiously watching all this.
Ten seconds later, after the portal stabilized, a red-haired beauty in a purple long dress walked out of the portal with light steps.
She saw Wayne standing beside the portal at a glance, and without saying a word, she ran over and threw herself at him, hugged the man's neck, and pressed her lips up.
The kiss, like pulling silk, lasted for a few minutes before Wayne patted the sorceress's back, waking her up from the sweet atmosphere, and then signaled her to look to the side with his eyes.
When the red-haired beauty found that more than twenty children were curiously staring at her not far away, a hint of shyness couldn't help but appear on the sorceress's beautiful face.
She shyly patted the man, blaming him for not reminding herself, and then left Wayne's embrace somewhat reservedly, looking to the side.
This look made Triss couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Not only because of those twenty-plus children, but also those 100 tall and straight horses.
The most eye-catching was the Deathclaw, which was ten meters tall, covered in bronze scales, and absolutely deserved to be called an ancient fierce beast.
Looking at this giant beast, a hint of gravity flashed in Triss's eyes. As a sorceress, she could already analyze the powerful destructive power contained in this terrifying fierce beast from its appearance.
Seeing this, Wayne showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He whistled at Robin. The Deathclaw, which was still observing the surrounding environment, heard its master's voice, immediately looked in the direction of the two, wagged its tail like a husky, lowered its head to Triss, and prostrated its body, expressing respect and obedience.
And seeing that Wayne could make this terrifying giant beast so obedient with just a whistle, Triss opened her mouth in surprise, turned her head to look at her man, and asked curiously:
"Dear, what breed is this fierce beast, or is it some new monster?"
"I have never seen similar records in books. Is it a creature from another world?"
Wayne reached out and touched the sorceress's delicate face, smiling and saying:
"Almost. Actually, two years ago when we were subjugating the Leshen, I discovered that this place connects to another world."
"And the time flow of that different world is five times that of our world. I started exploring that world two years ago, but in the different world, ten years have actually passed." "These things I brought back this time are all rewards I got from doing tasks in that world, including these children. They are all humans from the different world, and they are all war orphans."
"So, I adopted them. These children will all become members of our Witcher Order in the future. Even if they can't become witchers, we can cultivate them into various talents."
Hearing that these children, warhorses, and supplies were all from another world, Triss's eyes couldn't help but shine. 100 warhorses that looked priceless, a large amount of supplies, and a terrifying giant beast of huge size, it didn't take much thought to know that her man must have had a rich harvest in the different world this time, and it could even be described as terrifying.
Although the sorceress valued power, as a researcher, they also had a quite strong curiosity and were equally interested in exploring the unknown.
Wayne pinched Triss's chin, turned the sorceress's curious face over, and kissed her, saying: "Don't worry, dear, let's take these things back to Kaer Morhen first. I have a bigger surprise waiting for you. You will definitely jump up with joy in a while."
Although Triss was a bit impatient, compared to other more aggressive sorceresses, her personality was closer to a little woman, and Wayne's personality was also relatively aggressive, so most of the time, Triss would follow the man's opinion.
Teleportation magic was very convenient, but the consumption was also very huge. To teleport so many things Wayne brought back to Kaer Morhen, even for a genius sorceress like Triss, it took a lot of effort, and she was busy until dusk.
Until the end, Triss wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the ten-meter-tall Deathclaw behind Wayne with some apology, and said in a dilemma:
"Dear, ordinary portals cannot teleport this big guy. If you want to teleport it directly to Kaer Morhen, you must build a large portal like last time."
"However, just to teleport Robin, doing that is really a bit wasteful."
Wayne nodded. He reached out to wipe the sweat from Triss's forehead and said with some heartache:
"It doesn't matter, dear, you have already done very well."
"Let's go back to Kaer Morhen to rest first. Just let Robin stay here, and you will teleport me back tomorrow. Then I will walk back to Kaer Morhen with it."
Triss nodded, and then after Wayne whistled and communicated with the Deathclaw through several sounds similar to beast roars, she asked with some surprise:
"Your Robin is too smart. It can even communicate with you in language. It's simply not like a beast."
Wayne nodded with a smile. Under the domestication of his Taming Technique, ordinary beasts could become smarter, not to mention special beasts like Deathclaws.
His tone carried a hint of pride and said: "You definitely can't imagine, Triss, what level Robin's combat power can reach."
"Its intelligence level has probably reached the level of a teenager. Even facing a thousand-man knight squad, or thousands of ordinary soldiers, Robin can defeat them."
"Perhaps to some extent, this big guy is the second most powerful expert in our Witcher Order currently."
………………
After returning to Kaer Morhen, Wayne and other members greeted each other warmly and gifted them many fine wines, delicacies, and exotic fruits obtained from the Middle-earth elves.
After the greetings ended, he took Vesemir and Triss together to the basement located below the castle.
The old witcher was a bit puzzled by this and couldn't help but ask:
"Child, what are you doing bringing us to the basement?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Wayne's face, and then he took the two to a huge basement room that was once used as a warehouse.
While lighting the torches around the walls, he smiled and said:
"Teacher, although the things I brought back just now have already made you feel very surprised, what I am going to show you next is the biggest harvest I obtained in this adventure."
Hearing this, Vesemir couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart. To be honest, just now, when he saw Wayne appear with twenty-plus children and hundreds of elf warhorses, his head was already a bit dizzy from shock.
As the grandmaster who most wanted to inherit the Wolf School witchers, seeing so many children of the right age brought to the order at once, he almost thought Wayne had robbed some orphanage, or kidnapped everyone in a village at once.
And those elf warhorses, from the perspective of an old witcher, were all one-in-a-million peerless horses. Even if each horse was sold for thousands of Crowns, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
Now Wayne said he would give them a bigger surprise, the old witcher's somewhat dull brain couldn't even imagine what a bigger surprise was.
Looking at Triss's curious eyes and Vesemir's somewhat confused eyes, Wayne showed a mischievous smile on his face, and then reached out and patted the black money bag at his waist.
Vivian, who had already been instructed, poked a small head out of the money bag, then stretched out her hands and released a magic spell toward the open space in the center of the room.
In just an instant, a six-pointed star magic array shimmering with magic light appeared on the top of the open space in the center of the room.
Accompanied by golden light and the *ding-ding-dang-dang* sound of metal landing, gold coins like a golden waterfall rushed down from that magic array like a flood, quickly submerging the open space at the bottom, and then rolled toward the surroundings of the room like a mudslide, submerging the entire ground.
*Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! *
In Triss and Vesemir's stunned eyes, this golden waterfall flowed for a full few minutes until a huge gold mountain formed in the center of the room before it slowly disappeared.
Wayne looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then turned to look at the two who had already been submerged to their ankles by gold, and even their spirits had been shocked by the gold, and said:
"This is the development fund I took out temporarily, about 18 million Oren."
"Anyway, our Witcher Order is not short of money. As long as it can make the order develop better, you can use the gold here as you like."
Saying that, Wayne indicated lightly.
"It doesn't matter if it's used up. This is just a very, very small part of my property."
