Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 223 Triss's Proposal and Vesemir's Surprise

Faced with Wayne's request, Triss was puzzled. What exactly was this huge group of creatures?

Could it be that they want to use the portal to transport goods or large beasts?

She pressed her face against Wayne's chest, her soft little hands stroking the man's eight-pack abs, a smile on her face, and asked with some confusion:

"What do you want to teleport, my dear? Ordinary portals can be supported by our own magic power as warlocks, but large portals require a lot of magical materials to operate, and they also need to be used in conjunction with large magic circles. The destination must also be a place with abundant magic power or a place where magic power exists."

"Using it once will consume at least three thousand orens, and it can only transport less than a thousand people. The preparation time is also quite long. Even if all the materials are ready, it will take at least three days to complete."

"Because it has too many restrictions, even kings could not afford its costs, so very few people used this ritual."

Upon hearing this, Wayne reached out and hugged Triss, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead before finally speaking the words he had been considering for a long time.

"I'll show you what I'm transporting later, and then I'll tell you some of my secrets."

"You are the first person in the world to know this secret, and you are the person I trust the most right now. I believe you will keep this secret for me."

Although Wayne's words were not eloquent, Triss felt a warm sense of trust after hearing them. As a smart woman, she had long suspected that her lover must have some secret. Otherwise, as a witcher, he wouldn't have grown so quickly, nor would he always have such wealth.

However, Triss was still quite moved to be the first person to know this secret.

She rolled over and sat on Wayne, kissing the man's chest, and said with a grin:

"I'm all rested. Let's have another round. This time, I'll be on top."

Around noon, after the two got up, Wayne first took Triss for a stroll around the beautiful city of Beauclair and bought the red-haired beauty many gifts.

He then took out the most valuable piece of jewelry he had obtained from the giant's treasury and gave it to her as a gift.

It was a precious gemstone necklace inlaid with six huge gemstones of different colors. No matter where it appeared, it would be the most eye-catching piece. It was extremely rare, extremely valuable, and priceless.

No woman could resist such jewelry, not even a noble sorceress. As a result, Wayne received countless passionate kisses from the red-haired beauty, and the sweet expression remained on Triss's face.

After that, Wayne took Triss to the place where the giants lived.

When the sorceress saw the hundreds of giants, eight or nine meters tall, wearing iron armor and carrying weapons, who were clearly incredibly powerful, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

When she saw these towering giants kneeling on the ground, bowing and kowtowing to Wayne, calling him "Master," the red-haired beauty's jaw dropped in shock.

Faced with this scene, the sorceress was stunned for a while before asking Wayne in great surprise about the origin of these giants.

Wayne didn't hide it any longer, but carefully chose his tone before explaining to Triss:

"My dear Triss, as a learned sorceress, you must have heard of the Ancient Blood, haven't you?"

Triss was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then, as if realizing something, her eyes widened further, and she asked incredulously:

"Could it be that you possess this legendary bloodline, Wayne?"

"I thought this bloodline had been lost long ago, and was just a legend fabricated by those recorders."

Wayne remained calm, reached out and touched Triss's pretty face, then nodded and said:

"Yes, Triss, aren't you surprised that I was able to improve my skills so rapidly within just a few years of completing my apprenticeship, becoming a powerful witcher?"

"Besides my outstanding talent, my ancient bloodline also played a significant role."

He leaned in and kissed Triss passionately. Several minutes later, as their lips parted, he whispered in the somewhat dazed sorceress's ear:

"And just like some books say, my ancient blood allows me to travel to other worlds through spatial rifts."

"The flow of time in many worlds is different from that in our world. In fact, I have cultivated in other worlds for many years and obtained many resources and treasures from them."

"The race of giants before you is a servant I subdued from another world by chance. They will obey my orders one hundred percent and become a powerful force under my command."

"It is because I trust you, my dear Triss, that I am telling you these secrets. You are also the first person in the world to know that I possess the blood of the ancients."

That's true. In order to bring these giants to the Wizarding World with him, he spent some ability points to open a special spatial passage.

Otherwise, most otherworldly races would not be able to pass through the sealed spatial rifts.

He only has three ability points left. Once he unlocks the mutation enhancement skill feat that can strengthen his physical potential, he will only have one ability point left. This stuff really doesn't last long.

After listening to Wayne's words, Triss quietly nestled against his chest, seemingly lost in thought. After a few minutes, she looked up and softly asked:

"Wayne, you now possess immense power, are incredibly diligent, and have even gathered a group of powerful giants as your subordinates."

"This is not something an ordinary witcher could do."

"Darling, can you tell me what your purpose is?"

Faced with this question, and with Triss who asked it, Wayne did not hide anything. He believed in his feelings for Triss and thought that as long as he answered the girl sincerely, she would feel his sincerity.

He cupped Triss's face in his hands, looked directly into the sorceress's eyes, and said:

"My dear, you know my situation. I am a witcher, and a half-elf at that."

"So what I want to do now is to rebuild the Witcher Order and let Witchers live the life we ​​deserve."

"Secondly, there's the plight of the elves. I hope to help these poor elves as much as I can, so that they can also live happily."

"This is not an excessive request. Besides, I certainly hope that the people I care about can live a happy life, like you. I also hope that you can live a happy life."

Wayne's words were a bit cheesy, and even he felt a little embarrassed. However, women like Triss, who believed in love, loved hearing such things.

She grasped Wayne's hand with some emotion, stood on tiptoe, and pressed her forehead against his, saying:

"I understand, darling, I'll keep it a secret."

"Leave the large teleportation portal to me."

"Furthermore, your Demon Hunter Order probably doesn't have any warlocks joining yet, right?"

"If you don't mind, I can serve as your Witcher Order sorcerer while also working part-time as a royal advisor."

"Actually, I'm quite tired of running around among those foolish nobles."

"If I can use my strength to help you realize your dreams, I will feel very happy."

………………

Triss's suggestion surprised Wayne. He had been thinking for a long time about whether he could persuade Triss to join the Witcher Order and become its exclusive sorcerer.

Unfortunately, most sorceresses crave power and a life of luxury. In Kaer Morhen, this desolate and deserted place, the Witcher Order hasn't even established its most basic framework. If he were to lure Triss here now, he would not only feel guilty but also risk hurting their relationship.

However, since Triss had taken the initiative to suggest it, he certainly wouldn't refuse. He immediately took out a large pile of gold coins and went with her to collect materials for a large portal in Beauclair.

Fortunately, Beauclair's trade was thriving, and it was said that you could buy specialties from all over the world. Although the prices were a bit expensive, after spending about eight hundred crowns, we finally managed to gather all the materials needed for the large portal.

After that, Triss began setting up magic circles and constructing large teleportation portals within the Carlobert Forest.

However, unlike small portals that allow only one person to pass through, these large portals must be placed within both coordinates of the teleportation location in order to achieve the purpose of teleportation, rather than constructing teleportation coordinates out of thin air.

Therefore, Wayne must personally travel to Kaer Morhen and bring a magical item marked with magical coordinates to the corresponding teleportation point, which must also be a place with abundant magical energy.

Although the whole process is a bit troublesome, it is still much simpler than traveling thousands of kilometers and crossing several human countries without being discovered.

What's even more convenient is that Wayne has a Hearthstone that allows him to return directly to Kaer Mohenn, so he doesn't need to make the long journey back.

Therefore, he went directly to Triss, handed the sorceress the magical crown he had obtained, and told her how to use the crown to control the giants. Then, in front of the red-haired beauty, he used his hearthstone to return to town.

This was his first time playing Hearthstone, and it felt incredibly magical. It was as if a force was pulling his spirit to the home he was bound to. When his soul crossed endless distances and arrived at that warm and comfortable home, his body arrived in an instant as well.

Before he could recover from the slight dizziness of returning to the city, he heard an old and familiar voice.

"Wayne? Kid, why are you back all of a sudden?"

Wayne turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw the old witcher, dressed in casual clothes and holding books he had brought back from the Aretusa Academy, standing up and looking at him with some surprise.

Clearly, the old man hadn't gone out to carry out the commission; he was just studying the information on the witchers he had brought back.

Faced with Vesemir's question, Wayne scratched his head awkwardly and then delivered the prepared response.

"Ah, teacher, it's like this."

"You may not know this, but this year I went to the Kingdom of Toussaint in the south to carry out an executive commission."

"In carrying out the commission, I encountered many things, many of which helped me rebuild the Witcher Order."

As he spoke, Wayne took out several barrels of delicious red wine that he had prepared beforehand from his spatial bracelet, placed them on the table next to the fireplace, and then continued:

"But let's talk about these things over a drink."

"My main purpose in returning to Kaer Morhen this time is because I took in a group of poor people who consider me their master and hope that I can find them a place where they can survive."

"So I plan to settle them in the Blue Mountains and let them live in the mountains."

"Perfect, being neighbors with us witchers means we can look out for each other."

Vesemir frowned upon hearing this. As a traditional witcher, he did not want Kaer Morhen's location to be exposed to more people, because in his view, most people outside were untrustworthy. They were either foolish commoners or greedy nobles, and there were even many sorcerers with ulterior motives. It was difficult to find someone he could trust.

However, after the discussions during the winter, he no longer opposed Wayne's idea of ​​forming the Witcher Order, nor did he directly voice his strong opposition. He could only say with a stern face:

"Child, most humans are not trustworthy. Over the past few hundred years, rumors spread by the aristocracy have deeply penetrated their minds. In their eyes, we witchers are monsters and thieves. This is something that is hard to change."

"Don't let a moment of weakness get you into a lot of trouble!"

Wayne stepped forward, put his arm around Vesemir's shoulder, and half-pulled, half-dragged him to the dining table.

Then he opened a barrel of the finest red wine, and took out a lot of snacks he usually prepared for himself to go with the wine from his spatial bracelet. With a fawning smile on his face, he said to the old demon hunter:

"Teacher, please trust my judgment."

"These poor souls are not human, but a humanoid race like trolls. They worship me as their king and will obey my orders without question. Moreover, I have the means to completely control them. They will become a powerful force in our Witcher Order."

"When you meet them, you'll understand why I said that."

Seeing the surprise and doubt still on Vesemir's face, Wayne laughed and immediately changed the subject, taking out a large number of Grandmaster-level equipment blueprints that he had obtained in Toussaint, as well as the research data on secondary mutation developed by Professor Moru from his spatial bracelet.

He spoke with obvious excitement, as if showing off his achievements to an elder:

"We'll talk about this later. First, take a look at the good stuff I brought back, teacher. It will definitely surprise you."

"Moreover, besides these gains, I also made friends with a group of witchers from the Viper School in Toussaint, found a witcher from the Cat School, and had an absolutely trustworthy sorceress who was willing to join us and become the first sorceress in our Witcher Order."

"We have taken a big step closer to the formation of the Witcher Order."

As he finished speaking, a system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

Ding! Epic quest [Rebuilding the Witcher Order] progress updated.

Current progress: 2/10.

Currently available rewards: 600 experience points, 2 Master-level chests.
