Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 266 The Shocked Triss and the Pile of Gold

"Is this the world you live in, teacher?"

After passing through a large portal more than ten meters high and arriving in the Wizarding World from Middle-earth, Aragorn, carrying a wooden sword on his back, walked at the front of a group of children, craning his little head to look around, and then asked the first question.

He is just a ten-year-old boy, at the age when his curiosity is at its peak.

"There are so many rocks here, but they don't look too different from our world!"

"I never imagined that you, teacher, lived in another world. No wonder you were able to do such amazing things."

The portal exit to Middle-earth is located in the forest outside Maripole, the very same rocky forest where Wayne and Triss defeated the leopard-headed demon.

Back in his own world, Wayne looked around, then took a deep breath in the air filled with chaotic magic and couldn't help but smile contentedly.

He reached out and patted Aragorn's head, saying with a smile:

"Yes, Aragorn, this is my world."

"This world is not as wonderful as Middle-earth. It is full of war and plunder, full of barbarity and deception. It is a very dangerous world."

"But it's perfect for you; it's a great place to practice swordsmanship."

Aragorn tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, but when Wayne said it was a good place to practice swordsmanship, his expression became more excited.

After the Deathclaw, which had grown to about ten meters in size, emerged from the portal, under Wayne's control, the portal, which had cost some ability points to open, began to slowly shrink and eventually disappeared into thin air.

Accompanying him from Middle-earth this time were Deathclaw Robin, Aragorn, the twenty children, the hundred elven warhorses, and some goods he had prepared, mainly pipe grass accumulated over the years.

He had originally planned to bring back the direwolf White Fang as well, but in the past ten years, he hadn't noticed that the guy had actually found a pack of female wolves as mates in the woods behind Wayne Manor, and had a large number of pups, becoming the leader of a wolf pack.

As an ice wolf, its size is comparable to that of a dire wolf, making it an absolute king among ordinary forest wolves. It is normal for it to reign supreme in the forest.

Now it has its own life. Wayne didn't break up its family, but simply made White Fang the guardian of Wayne Manor, accompanying the old butler, Old Ford.

He glanced around and realized it was around noon in the Wizarding World. After a few seconds of consideration, Wayne took out a metal device inlaid with various gems from his spatial bracelet. This was another communicator that Triss had made, modeled after Francesca's communicator, specifically for contacting her.

Now that Wayne has even told Triss the secret of traveling to another world, there's not much left for them to hide.

He poured chaotic magic into the magical device in his hand, and after a few seconds, a voice with a slightly coquettish tone came over.

"Darling, is that you?"

"You've been missing for almost two months, and I haven't been able to contact you. Did you go to another world again?"

Recognizing Triss's somewhat sweet voice, Wayne couldn't help but smile. He didn't hide it and said directly:

"Yes, darling, I've just returned from another world. Do you have time now?"

"If you have any, just come to my current coordinates. I'm just outside Maripo City."

"This trip to another world was very fruitful, and I wanted to be the first to share this good news with you."

Sensing the doting tone in Wayne's voice, Triss on the other end of the communicator let out a sweet laugh and immediately said with a smile:

"Okay, honey, go to a more open place and wait for me. I'll be right there."

A few minutes later, in a clearing in the chaotic forest, accompanied by a strange sound of violently vibrating chaotic magic, a small portal appeared beside Wayne with a bang, growing larger as the children watched with curiosity.

As Aragorn directed the children, who were about his age, to maintain order, he watched all this with wide, curious eyes.

A dozen seconds later, after the portal stabilized, a red-haired beauty in a purple dress walked out of the portal with light steps.

She spotted Wayne standing next to the portal immediately. Without saying a word, she ran over, grabbed the man's neck, and pressed her lips to his.

The kiss, as soft as silk, lasted for several minutes before Wayne patted the sorceress on the back, bringing her back from her sweet reverie, and then gestured for her to look to the side.

When the red-haired beauty noticed that more than twenty children were staring at her curiously from a distance, a blush crept onto the sorceress's beautiful face.

She slapped the man lightly, a little embarrassed and annoyed, blaming him for not reminding her, before gracefully leaving Wayne's embrace and looking to the side.

This sight caused Triss to gasp in surprise.

It wasn't just because of the twenty-odd children, but also because of the hundred tall and majestic horses.

The most eye-catching feature is Deathclaw, which stands ten meters tall and is covered in bronze scales, making it look like an ancient ferocious beast.

Looking at the behemoth, a hint of solemnity flashed in Triss's eyes. As a sorcerer, she was already able to analyze the powerful destructive force contained in this terrifying beast from its appearance.

Seeing this, Wayne smiled and whistled at Robin. Deathclaw, who had been observing the surroundings, immediately looked in their direction upon hearing its master's voice. It wagged its tail in a somewhat husky-like manner, lowered its head to Triss, and prostrated itself in respect and obedience.

Seeing that Wayne's mere whistle had made this terrifying behemoth so obedient and submissive, Triss opened her mouth in surprise, turned to look at her man, and asked with some curiosity:

"Darling, what kind of beast is this, or is it some new monster?"

"I've never seen anything like it in any books. Could it be a creature from another world?"

Wayne reached out and touched the sorceress's delicate face, smiling as he said:

"Pretty much. Actually, when we were fighting the Deer-Headed Demon two years ago, I discovered that this place was connected to another world."

"The time flow in that other world is five times that of our world. I started exploring that world two years ago, but ten years have actually passed in that other world."

"The things I brought back this time are all rewards I got from completing missions in that world. Including these children, they are all humans from another world, and they are all war orphans."

"So I adopted them. These children will become members of our Witcher Order in the future. Even if they can't become Witchers, we can still train them into all sorts of talents."

Upon hearing that the children, warhorses, and supplies all came from another world, Triss's eyes lit up. A hundred priceless steeds, a large amount of supplies, and a gigantic, terrifying beast—it was easy to imagine that her man had reaped a rich, even terrifying, harvest in this other world.

Although sorceresses value power, as researchers, they also possess a strong sense of curiosity and are very interested in exploring the unknown.

Wayne pinched Triss's chin, turning the sorceress's curious face towards him, then kissed her and said:

"Don't rush, darling. Let's take these things back to Kaermohan first. I have an even bigger surprise for you. You'll definitely jump for joy in a moment."

Although Triss was somewhat impatient, compared to other more assertive sorceresses, her personality was closer to that of a gentle woman, while Wayne's personality was also quite assertive. Therefore, Triss would usually go along with the man's opinion.

Teleportation magic is very convenient, but it also consumes a huge amount of resources. Even a genius sorceress like Triss had to put in a lot of effort to teleport all the things Wayne brought to Kaermerhen, and she was busy until dusk.

Finally, Triss wiped the sweat from her brow, looked apologetically at the ten-meter-tall Deathclaw behind Wayne, and said with some difficulty:

"Darling, ordinary portals can't teleport this big guy. If you want to teleport it directly to Kaer Morhen, you'll have to build a large portal like last time."

"But it would be a waste to do that just to teleport Robin."

Wayne nodded, reached out and wiped the sweat from Triss's forehead, saying with some concern:

"It's okay, darling, you've done very well."

"Let's go back to Kaer Morhen and rest first. Let Robin stay here. You can teleport me back tomorrow, and then I'll walk back to Kaer Morhen with him."

Triss nodded, and then, after Wayne whistled and communicated with Deathclaw through several animal-like roars, she asked with some surprise:

"Your Robin is so smart, she can even communicate with you in language, she's not like a wild beast at all."

Wayne smiled and nodded. Under his beast taming skills, ordinary wild beasts could become more intelligent, let alone a special beast like Deathclaw.

He said with a hint of pride:

"You can't even imagine how powerful Triss Robin is."

"Its intelligence level is probably at that of a teenager. Even if it faces a thousand-man knight squad or several thousand ordinary soldiers, Robin can defeat them."

"Perhaps in some ways, this big guy is the second most powerful expert in our Witcher Order at present."

………………

Upon returning to Kaer Morhen, Wayne and the other members exchanged warm greetings and presented them with many fine wines, delicacies, and exotic fruits obtained from the Middle-earth elves.

After the pleasantries were over, he led Vesemir and Triss to the basement located below the castle.

The old witcher was puzzled by this and couldn't help but ask:

"Child, why did you bring us to the basement?"

Wayne gave a mysterious smile and then led the two into a huge basement room that had once been used as a warehouse.

As he lit the torches around the walls, he said with a smile:

"Teacher, although the things I just brought back have already surprised you, what I'm about to show you is the greatest gain I made on this adventure."

Upon hearing this, Vesemir's heart trembled slightly. To be honest, just now, when he saw Wayne appear with more than twenty children and hundreds of elven warhorses, his head was already spinning from shock.

As the master who most wanted to carry on the legacy of the Wolf School of Witchers, seeing so many children of school age brought to the Order at once, he almost thought Wayne had robbed an orphanage or kidnapped everyone from a village.

As for those elven warhorses, in the old witcher's eyes, each one was a peerless steed, one in a million, and he wouldn't be surprised if each one sold for thousands of crowns.

Now that Wayne says he has an even bigger surprise for them, the old Witcher's somewhat dulled mind can no longer even imagine what that bigger surprise could be.

Looking at Triss's curious eyes and Vesemir's somewhat confused eyes, Wayne grinned mischievously and patted the black money pouch at his waist.

Vivian, who had already been instructed, peeked her head out of the money bag, then stretched out her hands and cast a spell on the open space in the center of the room.

In an instant, a six-pointed star magic circle, shimmering with magical light, appeared on the ceiling of the open space in the center of the room.

Accompanied by glittering gold and the clanging sound of metal hitting the ground, gold coins, like a golden waterfall, rushed down from the magic circle like a flood, quickly submerging the empty space at the bottom, and then rolling around the room like a mudslide, engulfing the entire ground.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

As Triss and Vesemir stared in disbelief, the golden waterfall flowed for several minutes until it formed a huge golden mountain in the center of the room before slowly disappearing.

Wayne looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then turned to the two men whose ankles were completely submerged in gold, and whose very spirits were stunned by it, and said:

"This is the development fund I've temporarily set aside, which is about 18 million Oren."

"Anyway, our Witcher Order is not short of money. As long as it can help the Order develop better, you can use the gold here as you like."

Wayne said this casually.

"It doesn't matter if I use it all up; it's just a very, very small part of my wealth."
