Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 224 New Residents of Kaermohan

Although he had only been in Toussaint for less than two months, Wayne had a very rich experience, with all sorts of adventures and encounters. He embellished his account to Vesemir, which made the old witcher frown frequently.

"Sigh! I haven't heard from Aidonna for so many years. I never imagined he had died in Toussaint."

"I once gave him a blueprint for a master-level suit of armor from the Wolf School and sent him to find Master Teensel of Toussaint."

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

As Wayne listened to Vesemir's somewhat wistful recounting of the Wolf School's blueprints and the death of Aidonna, he also felt a pang of emotion.

Although I was excited when I received these blueprints, each blueprint actually represented the passing of a Witcher.

He looked at the old witcher and tentatively asked:

"Teacher, do you think it's feasible for me to invite witchers from other schools to join the Witcher Order?"

Vesemir looked up at Wayne, not giving his own answer directly, but instead analyzing the situation for him:

"Based on the intelligence you've gathered, apart from the Bear School on Skellige Island, all other schools of witchers have lost their academies and are basically without successors."

"If you are confident in solving the problem of the transmission of knowledge among the various schools of thought, then I think that would be a great temptation for other schools of thought."

"Although the various schools of thought went their separate ways due to ideological disputes back then, now each of our schools has been reduced to single digits. Perhaps your generation can resolve the conflicts between us through your own efforts."

Perhaps the old Witcher didn't want to dampen Wayne's enthusiasm, so he spoke very tactfully and encouragingly about it.

Wayne was pleased to hear this. Having such an elder supporting him was the greatest encouragement for him. Moreover, he was confident in himself. As a man with cheat codes and the power of money, saving the world would be a piece of cake, let alone something like this.

The old man and the young man talked for a long time, exchanging their thoughts. As they talked, they also talked about the upcoming new guests.

The old Witcher was always worried about the trust issue between the two. After all, he was a Witcher who had lived for hundreds of years and had a wealth of life experience. He knew very well that trust between people was extremely fragile. Even the closest lovers or brothers could betray each other, let alone a large number of refugees.

Wayne had great faith in the Magic Crown's abilities and was also very confident in his own strength. However, faced with his teacher's concerns, he still revealed some ambiguous information, explaining:

"Teacher, you can rest assured about this. In fact, this new group of residents is a race of giants trapped in some other dimension. Their strength is not very strong, and they have no one in our world to rely on, so there is no future trouble for them."

"Teacher, the reason I am confident that I can control them is because I have obtained a magical treasure. This treasure was specially made to deal with these giants and can control their will, making them unable to disobey my orders."

"These creatures were once a humanoid race that ate anything, just like trolls, and even preyed on humans."

"If they really cause any trouble, then let them perish. I took them in to use as workers, soldiers, or even slaves. Even if they all die, it's their just deserts."

Vesemir was surprised by what Wayne said about the giant race and the other dimension, and quickly asked for more details. However, seeing his apprentice speaking with such confidence, he suppressed his doubts and accepted the fact.

Two days passed quickly. When the time came to open the portal as agreed with Triss, Wayne, along with Vesemir and the magical artifact, rode the magic carpet to the back of Kaermerhan and set up the portal using the magical nodes there.

Once the preparations were complete, the magical artifact reacted. A large amount of chaotic magic began to gather above the artifact, and a large portal, twelve or thirteen meters high and six or seven meters wide, quickly formed under the pull of the magic, gradually stabilizing and revealing a deep, void-like interior.

Seeing this scene, Vesemir, standing to the side, remarked:

"I haven't seen this level of warlock magic in a long time. It seems the warlock from the cult you invited is quite skilled."

Wayne, far from being modest, gave Vesemir a somewhat boastful smile and said:

"Thank you for your praise, teacher. This warlock's name is Triss. She is an outstanding graduate of Aretusa Academy and is also my current girlfriend. She is someone I can trust."

Vesemir glanced at his apprentice, snorted, and said:

"Triss, so you're the red-haired sorceress we met last time. Lambert said that while we were fighting the evil god, the two of you were hiding behind and kissing."

"However, that girl does seem to be a good girl. You should cherish your relationship and make the most of it."

Faced with this topic, the womanizing Mr. Wayne felt somewhat embarrassed and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Soon, the large portal was completed, and the first to emerge from it was a nine-meter-tall giant wearing armor and carrying a huge two-handed axe on his back—the current giant general, Glass.

When he saw Wayne standing not far away, he instinctively wanted to kneel and kowtow, but Wayne stopped him with a look, then pointed to an open space not far from the portal and said in a calm tone:

"Take your people and go to that clearing to await my orders, Glass."

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this, Glass nodded very respectfully while kneeling, and then quickly walked in the direction Wayne had indicated.

Soon after, a second and a third giant emerged. Being creatures of normal intelligence, they didn't need Wayne's instructions and obediently followed the giant general's back to the open space not far away.

Seeing this, Vesemir raised an eyebrow in surprise, both at the size and intelligence of these giants, and at their obedience to Wayne and the way they addressed their master.

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

As a pragmatist, Vesemir has now begun to consider how to assign jobs to these giants.

His long-standing struggle with the lack of workers and materials to repair Kaer Mohan Castle seems to have found a solution.

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

These towering creatures filled the open space beneath the portal to capacity; their numbers of over two hundred were far more impressive than those of over a thousand human soldiers.

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

She wiped the sweat from her brow, and before she could even speak, Wayne stepped forward and pulled her into a deep French kiss.

Two minutes later, the two were seen kissing and showed no signs of separating.

Vesemir coughed lightly and said:

"It's time to get down to business, kid. Save your sweet moments for tonight, and do them secretly."

"Let's take care of the important matters first."

Wayne showed no embarrassment upon hearing this. He released Triss and then said to Vesemir:

"Teacher, please show Triss around our castle."

"As the current chief sorcerer of the Order, she should be aware of her work environment."

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

"Make a good plan for us, my dear. Our castle hasn't had a professional sorcerer come for a long time. If we lack any experimental equipment or materials, don't worry about it."

"I will give you 100,000 Oren as initial funding. You should make good use of this money. I believe you can definitely achieve results."

"100,000 Oren?"

Hearing Wayne say that number, not only Triss was stunned, but even Vesemir was stunned. To be honest, even a master-level demon hunter like Vesemir probably had never seen what it felt like to have more than 10,000 gold coins piled up together.

Triss stared at Wayne for a few seconds, then tiptoed and kissed him on the lips before saying with a sweet smile:

"Thank you, darling, for trusting me so much."

"I'm starting to consider whether I should give up my job as a royal advisor and work for you full-time."

"I've never even seen such a large sum of money before."

Wayne wasn't too proud of this. After all, although this fortune from the giants was a lot, it couldn't accomplish anything truly significant.

Moreover, compared to the dwarven treasure of the Lonely Mountain in Middle-earth, this amount of gold is probably insignificant.

"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 and said:

"These were collected by those giants, but as their owner, they now belong to me."

………………

After a brief conversation, Vesemir took Triss to Kaer Morhen Castle. This was the first time in decades that a warlock had entered this ancient castle, and as a member of the Order of Warlocks no less.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Although demon hunters have a rudimentary understanding of many magical concepts, they are still far inferior to professional sorcerers.

Witchers are, after all, just warriors; only with the help of professional sorcerers can their research continue.

After a brief conversation, once Vesemir and Triss had left, Wayne boarded his magic carpet and arrived before the giants. He addressed the new giant general, Glass:

"Glas, bring your people and follow me. We are going to your future home."

"You can live in this fertile land and await my command at any time."

"As long as you and your people are 100% loyal to me and obey my commands, your people will be able to live in safety."

As the saying goes, "carrot and stick," after making some threatening remarks, he softened his tone and said:

"This world is more dangerous than you think, but it is also full of opportunities than you think."

"After you've lived here for a while, you can try to continue reproducing your offspring."

"Perhaps the problem of your inability to reproduce in Gantowa has already been solved after you came into this world."

Upon hearing Wayne's words, the giants present even forgot their fear and obedience, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Thousands of years ago, the giant race was actually able to reproduce through childbirth, but as time went by, their chances of getting pregnant became smaller and smaller, and fewer and fewer offspring were born. More than a thousand years ago, the number of giants stopped increasing.

This also filled their entire race with negative emotions, making them more chaotic and violent, and even leading to several instances of infighting.

After research, Wayne speculated that it was likely that magic had faded in Elizabeth's world, and the concentration of magic had greatly decreased, which was why the giants, as a race born in the age of magic, had lost their ability to reproduce.

However, the chaotic magic of the Wizarding World, in addition to the magic of this world itself, also contains the magic of many other worlds formed after the convergence of celestial bodies.

In this world, these giants should have a high chance of regaining the ability to reproduce.

Although he had some doubts about Wayne's words, Glass was a smart giant; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the confrontation with Wayne.

As soon as Wayne finished speaking, he immediately led his people to kneel respectfully on one knee and bow their heads in praise:

"Thank you, Master, thank you for bringing us to our new home, allowing our species to continue to thrive."

Regardless of whether this is true or not, I'll express my gratitude first. The fate of the entire race is now in the hands of this human in front of me, and Glass only wants his people to continue to live.

Wayne was quite satisfied with Glass's attitude, so he led the giants along the back mountain to the foot of Mount Kaermohan, near a mountain peak not far from the lake, and settled them there.

The arrival of these hundreds of giants terrified the ogres in the back mountains. Even these simpletons dared not show themselves and hid in their lairs.

Wayne's chosen settlement was quite good, with abundant forests, close to water sources, not far from Kaermerham, and even natural caves where the giants could temporarily reside, making it an excellent habitat.

These giants from Gantowa were not uncivilized barbarians. Although their level of civilization was not as high as that of humans, it was roughly at the level of the early Middle Ages. They possessed their own various skills, such as blacksmithing, forging, animal husbandry, and fishing, as well as their own construction techniques. Wayne did not need to worry about them too much.

After bringing the giants there, he let them cut down trees and build their own houses, and allowed them to fish in the lake, then temporarily became a hands-off manager.

The Blue Mountains are vast and rich in resources, and with the supplies they brought back from King Bravel, they will not lack food for at least three months.

These three months should be enough time for these giants to establish a firm foothold.
