Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 317 The Demon Hunter Guild's Ideas

"This is a good opportunity, Mr. Wayne."

"You must also often be troubled by the bad reputation of witchers among the people."

"Many nobles and kings in the north are now troubled by these monsters, and the common people at the bottom of society urgently need professional witcher masters to help them."

"Because your numbers are so small, a mercenary combat profession called Monster Hunter has even emerged."

"However, when faced with monsters from another world, most ordinary human warriors either become food for the monsters or, due to the necromancy of that other world, become one of the monsters themselves."

"If your new Witcher Order is willing to participate in this work, I believe those civilians will understand that the bad reputation of Witchers in the past was just a misunderstanding."

"The new Witcher Order will also gain the support of the people of the North, allowing the Witcher profession to regain respect."

As dinner drew to a close, Tissaya made no attempt to conceal her intentions and clearly stated them.

To regain respect.

This is a very tempting offer, at least for the old-school witchers of Vesemir.

The situation was roughly as Wayne had predicted. According to intelligence from the Wayne Merchant Guild, the entire north was currently embroiled in chaos caused by otherworldly monsters. Although it had not caused major upheavals, it had affected the daily lives of ordinary people.

Because of the existence of these monsters, the dangers are not so obvious in large cities protected by city walls, but the open wilderness has become more dangerous. Caravans and tax collectors are more likely to encounter attacks from monsters and bandits when they go out, and many big merchants have to spend more money to hire caravan guards and mercenaries.

The increased cost of doing business led to soaring prices, eliminating a number of merchants and causing them to lose market share.

To some extent, this is one of the main reasons why Wayne Chamber of Commerce has been able to develop rapidly and quickly gain a foothold in markets around the world.

"This is indeed a good opportunity, Ms. Tisaya."

"However, our Witcher Order has just been established and is in a stage of rebuilding. There are too few Witchers who can go out to fight, and most of them are busy with other work and do not have much time to travel back and forth between the northern countries."

"We can only thank you for your kindness, but we are unable to accept such a request at this time."

After hearing Tissaya's suggestion, Wayne politely declined, but inwardly he was even more dismissive.

Just kidding, if this condition were placed in a wizarding world without Wayne, it might be a good way out for a witcher.

This generous and rewarding commission not only alleviates the social pressure on demon hunters but also provides them with substantial compensation. In such a materially impoverished world, it's far better than fighting with poor farmers over a few gold coins for a water ghost.

Unfortunately, the leader of the Witcher Order is now Lord Wayne, a Witcher with the power of money, so the entire Witcher Order no longer needs to worry about money.

Even if all the members of the Warlock Brotherhood were to have their wealth doubled, it still wouldn't be a tenth of his. How could he possibly bribe the current order with money?

Even if the Brotherhood of Warlocks didn't intend to play any tricks this time, and genuinely wanted the Witchers to help them stabilize the situation in the North, Wayne's Witcher Order could no longer be subservient to others, becoming the warlocks' henchmen and the rulers' cannon fodder.

Tissaya's suggestion served as a reminder to Wayne. Although all the witchers in the Order had their own jobs under his arrangement and rarely went out to carry out witch-hunting commissions anymore.

However, the Witcher apprentices in the Order lack practical experience and need to undergo the trials of humanity in this chaotic world.

However, this is indeed a good opportunity to change the reputation of witchers, and those troubled nobles will likely cooperate actively.

However, if he were to use the channels of the Brotherhood of Warlocks or the Northern nobles, Wayne felt he could not trust them. The fate of the Witcher Order in the past was a bloody lesson he had learned.

If we really want to do it, we can take advantage of the network established by the Wayne Chamber of Commerce to carry out some operations.

It's always unreliable to place your hopes on those despicable outsiders; you can only feel at ease if you do it yourself.

"Is that so? That's such a shame."

"However, Mr. Wayne, the chaos caused by these monsters will continue for a long time."

"If you change your mind, you can have Triss tell me that the Brotherhood of Sorcerers looks forward to cooperating with the Witcher Order."

A slight sadness appeared on Tisaya's dignified and beautiful face. As a conservative sorcerer, she genuinely hoped to use the power of the Witchers to stabilize the monster chaos in the north and at the same time revive the ancient profession of Witcher.

As a high-ranking sorcerer who is over five hundred years old, she has witnessed the rise and fall of the Witcher profession. Even Alzum, the founder of the Witcher profession, is not a stranger to Tisaya. He is one of the most outstanding peers of the same era.

In a sense, the great mentor Tissaya, like Francesca, is a living historical figure, which is probably why they were able to become close friends.

After declining Tissaya's long-term request, Wayne suddenly changed the subject, smiling as he said:

"However, Ms. Tessia."

"Although we are not capable of fulfilling the long-term commission, if the Brotherhood of Sorcerers encounters a particularly difficult monster and needs some powerful warriors to protect them, you can communicate with us through Triss and ask us to provide protection."

"The Witcher's duty is to protect the vulnerable civilians. Although we have long been misunderstood and maliciously accused by them, we have not forgotten this."

………………

After dinner, Tissaya and Francesca left together.

The conversation with this lady was quite pleasant. Perhaps because she had served as the principal for hundreds of years, Tishaya was somewhat old-fashioned and conservative in her speech and actions, but she was not the kind of person who would resort to scheming and trickery. She was a very upright lady.

In this respect, she is much better than many corrupt nobles; at least she doesn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

The following afternoon, after a night of intense passion, and once the red-haired beauty Triss, who hadn't tasted meat for a month, left satisfied, Wayne contacted Syanna through a magical communicator and issued his latest instructions to the manager of the Wayne Merchant Guild.

She was required to use the power of the merchant guild to establish a monster hunter guild in every city in the north, based in a tavern, to gather intelligence and handle various combat missions, and to recruit all the mercenaries currently known as monster hunters with high rewards.

Compared to other organizations, the Wayne Merchant Guild can use its business network and high-quality resources to provide all Monster Hunters who join the guild with, not only, high quest rewards, cheap and useful equipment and weapons, and various conveniences in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also intelligence support across the entire north.

In the future, apprentices of the Witcher Order will also operate in the northern kingdoms through this organization after leaving Kaer Mehen.

No longer do I need to haggle with those foolish farmers or greedy nobles.

Within the merchant guild, there are dedicated individuals who discuss mission matters. Demon Hunter Apprentices, operating as a profession similar to monster experts, remain hidden among numerous monster hunters, quietly developing their strength.

In this way, not only can the Witcher Order be quietly hidden and mixed in with the many monster hunters, but it can also dispel the Witcher's bad reputation in the north, and even make ordinary people forget the profession of Witcher and remember the more common monster hunter.

Once the Order develops a mutation potion formula that transcends age restrictions and is no longer limited to children, Wayne will be able to recruit loyal and talented members to join the Order through the Witcher Guild.

Of course, to achieve this goal, the Demon Hunter Guild must have a reward system that can enhance cohesion and loyalty, providing guild members with benefits and advantages that they cannot obtain elsewhere.

Wayne was quite confident about these things, after all, he had the means to travel through many worlds and could provide the members of the Demon Hunter Guild with various otherworldly products that other organizations could not provide.

In this way, many years later, the Demon Hunter Guild could exist in this world as a subordinate organization of the Demon Hunter Order.

The profession of Witcher will no longer be as rare as that of non-human races, nor will it become so conspicuous and easily resented.

They will become the most loyal and powerful elite members of the Witcher Order among all the monster hunters.

Years later, after the Demon Hunter Guild has grown and expanded, Wayne will even be able to issue commissions to its elite members to carry out missions in other worlds, making them cannon fodder for the Demon Hunter Order's exploration of other worlds.
