Chapter 319: An Olive Branch from the Sorcerers Brotherhood

Hearing this news from Francesca, Wayne was stunned for a moment, then his thoughts flew, and he soon had various guesses.

As a member of the Supreme Council, Tissaia was a quite famous existence.

She was over five hundred years old and had served as the headmistress of Aretuza for over two hundred years. She had cultivated dozens of excellent sorceresses under her, and could be said to be one of the quite important figures in the entire northern magic system.

The current headmistress, Margarita, also grew to her current level under Tissaia's guidance, and was almost considered the most authoritative existence among human sorceresses. Even the magic ritual for sorceresses to remove their uterus was started in the entire North under the advocacy of this headmistress.

Although this measure caused sorceresses to lose their fertility, it also greatly improved the stability of their spellcasting because of the lack of this unstable organ, reducing the number of sorceresses who died due to various spellcasting accidents by more than 60%, which was almost a revolutionary measure in the northern magic system.

For such a highly respected and knowledgeable big shot, even Wayne needed to give her corresponding respect.

Moreover, what the other party wanted to talk about was still about the Witcher Order, which made it even more worthy of his attention.

It was just unknown whether this former headmistress of Aretuza represented herself alone or the entire Sorcerers Brotherhood.

And was this exchange between the two forces a good thing or a bad thing for the Witcher Order?

Although there were worries in his heart, Wayne did not take it too much to heart. To put it bluntly, with the current defensive strength of Kaer Morhen and his own strength, even if he were to be an enemy of the entire Sorcerers Brotherhood, he would not be afraid.

After all, the shortcomings of the spellcasters in the Wizard World were too obvious. Not only were they mere mortals in terms of body, and a dagger could kill the strongest spellcaster, but their spells also had various limitations. Powerful magic not only required a long spellcasting time but also consumed many magic materials.

As long as their whereabouts were found and enough dimeritium was brought, even those ordinary human soldiers could defeat these spellcasters.

To a certain extent, witchers equipped with dimeritium gear possessed stronger close-quarters combat capabilities than ordinary assassins. As long as accurate intelligence was obtained, they could easily hunt down a wizard, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them the bane of wizards.

Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why the Witcher Order was opposed by sorcerers in the beginning and eventually withered and declined due to various conspiracies.

After obtaining Wayne's consent, Francesca soon arranged this meeting, and the location of the meeting was set in Triss's room.

There were five people participating in this meeting: Margarita, Triss, Francesca, Tissaia, and Wayne himself.

Four sorceresses and one witcher.

It was interesting to say that, in fact, looking at the lineup alone, except for Tissaia herself, the others were Wayne's own people, or the circle of sorcerers was just that big, and the elite figures among them were just those people. Over the past few years, Wayne had already gotten to know many of them.

If the sorcerers of the Witcher Order were counted, plus the dozen or so sorcerers who had defected to him, perhaps the spellcaster power under Wayne could already constitute a powerful force in the Sorcerers Brotherhood.

………………

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wayne."

"Actually, a long time ago, I heard Margarita and Triss talk about you. They both think you are an excellent witcher, not only possessing powerful strength but also having noble character."

"I have always wanted to chat with you."

Tissaia's appearance was dignified and beautiful, similar to a knowledgeable professor in her thirties, and she looked to have an aura of intellect and wisdom.

Facing the praise of this lady, Wayne also performed quite appropriately. Although he had not formally learned those cumbersome etiquette of medieval nobles, his excellent appearance and confident temperament made his every move have a kind of noble elegance.

"I am also very happy to see you, Ms. Tissaia."

"When Enid told me the news that you wanted to talk to me, I was really quite pleasantly surprised." "It is my honor to be able to listen to the thoughts of a knowledgeable and wise lady like you."

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, both sides had a pretty good impression of each other. From the attitude of the conversation, Wayne found that the other party's attitude was quite friendly, with a smile always on her face, without any airs of being a high-level member of the Sorcerers Brotherhood, and every word and action was quite cordial.

Margarita and Triss, as Tissaia's students, also had a quite respectful attitude towards this lady, while Francesca was Tissaia's closest friend in the Sorcerers Brotherhood.

This Grand Master's attitude towards non-human races could be said to be the most moderate in the Supreme Council, often helping Francesca fight for the interests of non-human races in the council. In some respects, she could be considered one of her allies.

With the help of these people, the atmosphere of this conversation was very harmonious from beginning to end.

Wayne and Tissaia and others enjoyed the top-notch delicacies he cooked while chatting about some interesting things about each other.

Chatting and chatting, the content of the conversation finally reached the main purpose of this meeting.

"It's like this, Mr. Wayne."

"You should have heard about the affairs of the Kingdom of Kaedwen. I remember three years ago, the bounty competition that Keira participated in was exactly when you assisted her in entering that mysterious mist."

"Margarita also discovered the conspiracy of the evil god from another world under your protection."

"It was precisely because of Margarita's report that the Sorcerers Brotherhood was able to make quite a lot of remedies before things worsened."

"On this matter, I should express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Sorcerers Brotherhood."

Facing the praise of this Grand Master, Wayne appeared very humble.

"I just fulfilled the responsibility that a bodyguard should fulfill, protecting the life safety of the employer."

"What's more, Margarita and Ms. Keira are both my good friends."

Tissaia nodded approvingly upon hearing this, and then said:

"You have the demeanor of a witcher, Wayne."

"When the Witcher Order was founded, their purpose was to protect humans from being harmed by monsters. This is a principle that all witchers follow."

"So, the purpose of my looking for you this time is also because I heard that you are establishing a new Witcher Order."

"And now, monsters are rampant throughout the North, and there are even evil fallen sorcerers who are endangering the lives of civilians."

"Perhaps, the new Witcher Order can reach a cooperative relationship with the Sorcerers Brotherhood to help us deal with those rampant monsters from other worlds."

"You are all experts in hunting monsters, and you are more adept at dealing with those monsters from other worlds hiding in the wilderness than our sorcerers."

"Mr. Wayne, when you were in the mist covering the Kingdom of Kaedwen, you personally dealt with those monsters from other worlds."

"You should know better than many people how evil and powerful these monsters are. If they are allowed to accumulate strength in the wilderness and continue to grow, it will be a quite troublesome thing for any race."
