Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 267 The Idea of ​​Creating a Magic Academy

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!"

A few seconds later, before Vesemir could react, Triss covered her mouth and let out a sharp, childlike scream, as if she had been startled.

After calling out a few times, the sorceress finally managed to pull her foot out of the gold coin with some effort. She then quickly ran to Wayne's side, jumped onto his back, and clung to him like a spoiled kitten, asking excitedly:

"My God! Darling, so many gold coins! I bet even if you collected all the gold in the entire city of Vizima, it wouldn't be as much as this."

"You're amazing, darling! I don't even know what to do with all this gold!"

Compared to the sorceress's excitement, the old witcher Vesemir, after regaining his composure, reacted with concern. He looked at Wayne with a complex expression and asked:

"Child, I don't think anyone in the entire Kingdom of Temuria could produce so many Oren coins. Even the King's treasury wouldn't have that many."

"Can you tell me where all these gold coins came from?"

Wayne pulled Triss, who was clinging to his back, back to his chest, then looked at Vesemir with a somewhat serious expression and said:

"Okay, teacher, actually I was just about to explain it to you."

"Let's have a good drink tonight, and then I'll explain everything to you properly."

"But don't worry, I have absolutely not gone astray. These are the rewards that others have given me after I helped them."

"And my completion of the commission is a glorious deed that would absolutely earn me the title of a great hero."

Upon hearing this, the old witcher gave his apprentice a deep look, then nodded and said:

"I believe you, Wayne. You're a good kid. I've known that for a long time."

"However, the amount of gold is so astonishing that I still think I might be dreaming. Even in my dreams, such an absurd scene would not occur."

"You know, we witchers are often broke, and sometimes we even go hungry. Who hasn't dreamed of getting rich?"

Wayne chuckled, hugged Triss tightly as she nestled against his chest, and then said:

"This is a bad habit of many people, teacher. When people get old, they like to be content with the status quo and are afraid of change."

"But the world is big and it changes every day, and we have to adapt to these changes."

Upon hearing this, Vesemir smiled slightly, glared at Wayne, and snorted:

"It's not your place to lecture me."

"It's all because of you, you little rascal, who always comes up with something new every day. Especially this year, there's the giant legion, the large magic circle with a diameter of tens of kilometers, and now you've brought in a mountain of gold. How am I, an old man, supposed to keep up?"

Wayne felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this. He had indeed made too many big moves this year. Any one of these things would be considered a legendary experience for anyone else, but they happened to him so frequently. How could he expect people to accept that so easily?

He gave the old man an apologetic smile and then said:

"Don't worry, teacher, there shouldn't be any major changes in the next few years."

"You are the grandmaster of our Wolf School. The children we brought back will be trained by you. You don't need to force them like you used to. We will only keep the most talented ones. I will bring back many more children in the future."

"However, regarding the Trial of the Grass, I still do not permit its use on these children until our Order's sorcerers can guarantee a success rate of over 90%."

"We have plenty of time, and there's no rush to pass on the school of thought. But rest assured, it won't take too long for new Witchers to emerge, and our lives as Witchers will only get better and better."

The old witcher nodded. He was not lacking in patience; as long as things were developing in a positive direction, he had enough time to wait.

After visiting the gold, Wayne led the two back to the castle's main hall. Instead of cooking that night, he brought out some of Middle-earth's specialties to share with everyone.

During the conversation, I also learned about some things that had happened in Kaer Morhen over the past two months from other people.

First, there were two tree maidens. Under their management, the first batch of magical vegetables had all matured. These giant vegetables were all placed in a huge warehouse and stored at low temperatures. Moreover, magical vegetables are different from ordinary vegetables, and their shelf life is much longer. They are now available to the giants in the giant village.

The management of the giant village by Belial proceeded quite smoothly. In just two months, not only were a large number of giant dwellings built, but also a considerable number of public facilities were completed.

Now that these giants have a place to settle down, they can free up more manpower to work as laborers. Whether it's cutting down trees or mining, large quantities of raw materials for building the castle are being transported to the area around the castle.

Now all that's missing is a team of highly skilled construction workers before we can begin building the new castle for the Witcher Order.

During this time, Triss's research also made some progress. The Order's chief sorceress had read all the materials about the Witchers and had a considerable understanding of the current mutation experiments of the Witchers.

Her next goal is to optimize and improve the procedures and formulations of these experiments to increase the success rate of mutation experiments.

After joining the Witcher Order, Triss did not treat it as a part-time job as she claimed.

To put it bluntly, this red-haired sorceress has now devoted most of her energy to Wayne's cause. After seeing the mountain of gold coins today, Triss will probably grow to love her position as the chief sorceress of the Order more and more. Ordinary royal advisors may no longer hold much appeal for her.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wayne picked up the flask containing elven honey, poured a cup for the old witcher and Triss, and then spoke:

"My dear Triss, I have a suggestion."

Hearing Wayne speak, the red-haired sorceress opened her slightly drunken eyes, her face still bearing an adoring smile, and looked at him, asking:

"Honey, do you have any good ideas now?"

Wayne affectionately took Triss's hand and said:

"It's not exactly a good solution, but I feel that the Order is burdened with too many matters related to magic."

"Distributing all those chores to you is a waste of your talent."

"So I think it would be better if you simply created a new magic academy within this barrier and became its dean."

"It can train professional sorcerers for our Witcher Order, and also recruit some suitable helpers as teachers or advisors to share your workload."

As he spoke, Wayne looked at Triss's eyes, which seemed to be showing some interest, and said with a smile:

"Anyway, we have enough funds now, and you can control the chaotic magic such as barriers. There are so many children in the world with magical talent, we are fully capable of establishing a magic school of our own."

"You will also name this magic school, my dear. You can become a founding principal who will be remembered throughout history."
