Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 304 A Born Captain

"This is a friend of mine from another world named Herald. He is a magic knight and the captain of this magic ship. He will be working for our Witcher Order for a long time to come."

The Witcher was indeed quite fast. Lambert, who had been resting with the Order recently, was the first to arrive with his weapon, followed by Vesemir, whose expression was somewhat solemn.

The old Witcher's body has deteriorated somewhat, and his strength has been greatly reduced compared to his peak. Although he is still an experienced expert compared to most Witchers, neither his stamina nor his physical strength can sustain him in intense battles anymore.

Wayne estimated that once the Cat Faction Witcher Gatan finished testing the secondary mutation experiment, he would arrange it for the old man as soon as possible.

Even if it's not to improve the old man's strength, it would be best to extend the old witcher's lifespan, as a way of repaying the old man's kindness.

Moreover, I remember in the story there was an old man's former lover in Novigrad, who should still be a mature widow. If I had the chance to go there, I could see if I could bring them together and fulfill their beautiful love story.

Moreover, he had such a large piece of Azerite ore, which was very effective in nourishing the body and soul, and was also a super potion that could save lives in critical moments.

We'll have to make sure to get some for our good brothers too. Lord Wayne has always been generous and never forgets his friends and family when he gets something good.

"Holy crap, you've given us another huge surprise, Mr. Wayne."

After confirming that they were not enemies, Lambert's penchant for joking resurfaced.

He spoke in a teasing tone, but his expression was one of amazement as he looked at the enormous flying magic ship in the sky.

He clicked his tongue twice, then continued:

"Those otherworldly royal griffin eggs you brought back last time have become Eskel's treasures."

"In the past two years, that guy has not even bothered to take on any commissions. He spends every day by the side of those little guys who have just grown fur, taking care of them like his own sons."

"I hope that one day I can ride them and fly all over the world."

"As a result, before I could even ride the royal griffin, your flying magic ship is just too high-end, it's simply beyond my imagination."

"If you drive this out into the world and those nobles, kings, or sorcerers see it, wouldn't it turn the whole world upside down?"

Wayne smiled upon hearing this. Lambert's concerns were not unfounded. Although flying magic ships were not unique in this world, the Wild Hunt of the elves possessed their own flying ships, and more than one at that.

However, if others were to learn that the Witcher Order possessed an aerial warship as massive as a dragon boat, it would undoubtedly arouse the apprehension of all rulers.

After all, most kingdoms don't have the military strength to deal with such large aerial combat units.

This weapon of mass destruction has seriously threatened the lives of all rulers. It can even disregard any city walls and defenses, and can airdrop a large army at any time to carry out a "capture the king first" operation.

How could this not arouse the suspicion of those in power?

"Don't worry, Lambert. I'm not that high-profile. I won't be sailing around the world in this magic ship until I'm absolutely sure of what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Vesemir nodded solemnly and said earnestly:

"It's good that you think that way, child."

"The new Witcher Order you founded has surpassed our old one in both size and strength, and it has been developing very smoothly in recent years."

"However, you have risen too quickly, your foundation is too shallow, and you have not yet been tested."

"And you should also be well aware of our current status as witchers in the entire North."

"The Witcher Order was attacked by sorcerers and mobs because it touched the interests of certain people, which led to the disintegration of the entire order."

"Even now, all of our major schools that branched out have been almost completely wiped out due to the encirclement and suppression by sorcerers and armies."

At this point, the old witcher sighed and continued:

"I'm afraid that in the future, once the new Witcher Order trains more Witchers, we will still find it difficult to escape this fate."

"But at least, before the new Witcher Order has a firm foundation, child, don't make too many enemies."

"Our swords may be sharp, but a dagger thrust from the shadows can be just as deadly."

Listening to the advice of his teacher and best friend, Wayne behaved very obediently, saying that he had heard everything and promised not to do anything too outrageous.

After receiving Wayne's answer, the cult members who had rushed over due to this unexpected situation slowly dispersed.

Wayne didn't mind this. He wasn't arrogant because his strength far surpassed his colleagues. He always treated his family and friends as equals.

After the minor incident subsided, Wayne turned to look at the enormous magic ship in the sky, but a dilemma remained in his mind.

It's important to understand that advanced magical facilities like magic ships aren't like weapons or armor that you can simply put on and use.

It would take him several years to learn how to use a small computer, so how could he be expected to pilot such a mysterious and powerful magic ship without any learning?

Thoughts raced through his mind, and suddenly Wayne had a flash of inspiration. He turned to look at the somewhat dazed mage knight Herald, who was standing not far away, and asked tentatively:

"Herald, as a magic knight, do you possess the skill to pilot a space magic ship?"

"Are you confident you can pilot that magical ship overhead?"

Upon hearing Wayne's question, Herald turned to his master and said respectfully:

"My esteemed master, as an intelligent armed magic knight, my intelligence system has been instilled with many specialized skills."

"This includes the procedures for piloting various types of space magic ships."

"However, the magic ship you mentioned does not have a matching model or data in my system."

"I'm not sure if I have the ability to drive it."

"However, my AI system has the ability to learn. Given enough time, I should be able to learn the piloting skills for any kind of magic ship."

Upon hearing this answer, Wayne felt no disappointment, but rather a slight delight. This magic knight was powerful, absolutely loyal, and possessed a learning system; he was practically a born captain.

If he stays on the magic ship, he can not only protect this precious magic ship, but also prevent those treacherous villains from having any bad intentions.

They can also serve as a strong ally, providing support to others in the cult who need assistance at any time.

Wayne nodded in response, then used the power of the Lock Dominator to control the ring and gently wave his hand, transferring both Helar and himself to the dragon boat in the sky.

He first carefully inspected the magical ship, admiring the world of Toril, a masterpiece of the Dragon Empire.

Then he gave the command to the magic knight:

"Herald, I appoint you as the captain of this magic ship. You need to learn how to operate this ship as soon as possible and await my orders at any time."

"Yes, Master!"
