In addition to these small things, the thing that occupies the most space on the table is the large number of books that Wayne bought from Aretusa College.

Looking at the dazzling array of gifts piled up like a mountain and listening to Wayne introducing them one by one, Geralt, Eskel and Lambert were stunned. Even Vesemir could not maintain his composure as a teacher. He looked at Wayne with his mouth open, not knowing what to say.

Lambert suddenly cursed and asked, "Damn it, tell me, Wayne, which country's treasury did you rob?"

"These things must add up to tens of thousands of gold coins, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne looked at Lambert with a look that said, "You are a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything about goods." He pointed at the books and said, "Each of these books costs dozens of orens. These thousand books cost tens of thousands of gold coins."

"A lot of the knowledge in it is missing manuscripts for us demon hunters. They are simply not available on the market. Even if you can buy them, you will have to spend several times the price."

"Add to that these magic items, the hearthstone, the magic waist bag, and these potions that can save lives at critical moments, the total value is probably over 100,000 gold coins!"

When they heard the words "one hundred thousand gold coins", all the Wolf School demon hunters present were stunned. They looked at Wayne with an expression as if they saw a god, as if they saw a super rich man who spent money like water.

It's not just the Wolf School witchers. For any witcher still alive in the world, let alone 100,000 gold coins, even 50,000 gold coins is an astronomical figure that they cannot save in their entire lifetime.

One hundred thousand gold coins, with purchasing power in this world, could even buy a small town of a few hundred people and everything in it.

This is a huge sum of money that many kings have to prepare for a long time to come up with. Hundreds of years ago, the Kingdom of Kovil summoned tens of thousands of mercenaries to help them defeat the army of the Kingdom of Redalia, and it only cost about one million gold coins, which is enough wealth to summon an army.

Vesemir quickly suppressed the surprise on his face. He placed his hand on Wayne's shoulder, patted him vigorously, and said, "Kid, we appreciate your kindness, but one hundred thousand gold coins, my God, can you tell me where you got so much money?"

"Don't put yourself in a dangerous and difficult situation by buying these things. This is not what I want."

Wayne reached out and patted Vesemir's arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about my financial situation, Sensei."

"Although I owe a little money for buying these things, the other party is my good friend, and I have also found a new way to make money, so I will be able to pay off the debt next year."

As he spoke, he took out the top few books from the pile, handed them to Vesemir, and said:

"Teacher, this is the method and data of our demon hunter gene mutation experiment collected by Aretuza Academy. It is the research notes of Alzu and Cosimo, the legendary warlocks who first studied demon hunters."

"With these things, I will find some trustworthy warlocks to work for me, cast stabilization spells, replace more advanced equipment, and research more stable formulas. By then, the death rate in our green grass experiment will no longer be as high as it was in the past."

"Those children who join the school will no longer sacrifice in vain as in the past."

Looking at the precious materials Wayne stuffed into his hands and listening to Wayne's fantasies, Vesemir subconsciously asked:

"Wayne, why are you doing this? This is obviously none of your business."

Wayne stopped smiling when he heard this, looked at Vesemir with a serious expression, and said:

"Teacher, I know you have always wanted to continue the profession of demon hunter and don't want the tradition of demon hunter to be interrupted."

“But we have to take into account the mortality rate of the green grass experiment and don’t want more children to die in vain.”

"My idea is to go a step further. We protect the people and receive compensation. This is a profession that should be respected. However, due to various slanders, defamation and hatred, demon hunters have become rats crossing the street and have been subjected to unwarranted accusations and abuses."

"I hope that demon hunters can get the respect and status they deserve, and I hope that every demon hunter brother of mine can live a happy life."

"To achieve this, we must first become stronger, more united, and have more power."

"My goal is not to create more demon hunters, but to unite the existing demon hunters, so that we can get what originally belongs to us and let everyone live a better life."

After hearing Wayne's words, several veteran demon hunters present looked at Wayne with complicated expressions.

They discovered that the young demon hunter Wayne was indeed different from them. Most ordinary demon hunters, after completing the trial and becoming demon hunters, were pessimistic about their identities and future lives. They all lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, living one day at a time.

There are very few people like Wayne who have hope for the future and even want to change the world's prejudice against demon hunters.

Vesemir flipped through the book in his hand with a complicated expression. The other witchers also looked at Wayne with different expressions. After dozens of seconds, the old witcher asked Wayne in a serious tone: "Wayne, have you thought it through?"

"This is a very difficult road. The decline of demon hunters is not only due to the decrease in the number of monsters, but also due to various complex reasons."

"If you want to unite the demon hunters from other schools and combine our forces, you will have to face many enemies and the difficulties ahead will be countless."

"Although I don't want the Demon Hunter legacy to be cut off, I also don't want to entrust this responsibility to young people like you."

"Back then, I experienced the Demon Hunters' heyday, and I also watched them decline step by step until now."

"But if you have the will to take on this responsibility, I won't stop you, Wayne."

"You are still young now. You can wait a few years until you have enough experience and then tell me your decision."

As the old man finished speaking, an unusual melody sounded in Wayne's mind.

After the melody, there was another soft ding sound.

Mission triggered, epic mission.

[Rebuilding the Demon Hunter Cult]

Ding! Epic tasks are staged reward tasks. They are divided into different stages according to the difficulty of the tasks. You will get a reward for completing each stage.

The host will decide when the final stage of the task will be completed. Depending on the completion of the task, the host will receive a final task reward ranging from 30% to 300%.

Next stage rewards: 300 experience points, 1 master-level treasure chest.

Hearing the completely different task completion mode in his mind, Wayne was stunned for a moment, then after a quick calculation, he discovered how rich the rewards of this epic task were.

If he could complete this mission at 300% of the highest standard, he would most likely gain more than 10,000 experience points, nine master-level treasure chests, and three epic-level treasure chests. Not to mention how precious the items in the treasure chests were, the mission experience alone would be enough for him to level up to about eight or nine levels.

Moreover, rebuilding the Witcher Order is indeed something Wayne wants to accomplish, not just because he wants to make life better for Vesemir and his brothers in the Wolf School.

At the same time, he also knew that when he went to a more dangerous and vast world, he wanted to complete some difficult tasks, which would not be easily accomplished by one person. For example, to deal with a force, a country, or even an entire race, he must have more helpers and more subordinates to complete these tasks more easily.

Wayne calmed down his slightly agitated mood and looked at Vesemir. He did not refute the old witcher's suggestion that he should spend more time thinking. Anyway, the mission was already in hand, so it didn't matter what he said. He said sincerely, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't act rashly. I know very well that even if we want to revive the profession of witcher, it will not take one or two days or one or two years."

“Perhaps it will take me several years, decades, or even a lifetime to accomplish this.”

"I have already prepared myself mentally. No matter what I choose in the end, I will start with small things and improve our lives little by little."

As he spoke, Wayne looked at the pile of books on the table, and then said to Vesemir:

"Retrieving these books is only the first step. Next year or the year after, I will hire a group of trustworthy workers to help us renovate Kaermerhan Castle and strengthen its defenses."

"In the future, I will try my best to help fellow demon hunters from other schools, and convince them so that they can see the hope of the various schools coming together again."

"Don't worry about the money. I've found a stable source of income. Humph, to be frank, even if I have to support all the demon hunters by myself, it won't be a problem."

"Teacher, you can stay in the castle and supervise them to complete the work."

Wayne turned around and looked at Geralt, Lambert and Eskel, and said with a smile:

"Everyone has been putting up with this shabby castle for years, hasn't it?"

The others came to their senses after hearing what was said and looked at each other. They actually had different opinions in their minds about the plan that Wayne mentioned, but they did not express it. As seniors, they would not really stop this junior from doing what he wanted to do.

That night, Wayne prepared a lot of delicious food, not only delicacies from the wizarding world, but also specialties he brought back from other worlds.

A group of demon hunters drank fine wine, ate delicious food, and chatted for a long time, until late at night, before they dispersed. However, they could not calm down for a long time about what Wayne mentioned.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Wayne had been in Kaer Morhen for a week. In addition to combat training such as swordsmanship and spells, he would often go to the study in Kaer Morhen to read the books he brought back. Although everyone had been living in a small castle, every day was very busy.

One afternoon, he found the old witcher sitting by the fire, studying Azul's notes. He took out a bottle soaked in blue unknown meat from his arms and made a request to the old witcher.

After listening to Wayne's request, the old demon hunter asked hesitantly:

"Wayne, it's only been less than four years since you completed the Demon Hunter mutation. Do you really want to undergo this large blue mutation-inducing implantation surgery now?"

"Although Eskel completed the transplant of the red mutation inducer last year, that's because the genetic mutation in his body has long been stable and he can adapt to new mutations."

"But I still think it's too early for you to transplant the mutagen. You'd better think about it more."

Vesemir did not lower his voice, and his words quickly attracted the attention of several other witchers in the hall.

Lambert, who had lost all his coins and could only watch Geralt and Eskel playing Gwent, immediately became interested. He walked over to the two of them, picked up the bottle containing the large blue mutagen on the table, and said with a tut-tut, "Another large mutagen, and a rare blue one. Wayne, you are so lucky. I have carried out so many commissions and killed many monsters, but I have only seen medium-sized mutagens at most, and never seen a large one."

"What monster did you dig this out of?"

Wayne didn't have any smug expression on his face, he just smiled and said:

"An ancient deer-headed spirit. Just before we defeated the evil god Dagon, Triss entrusted me with a mission."

While the two were talking, Geralt and Eskel stopped playing cards and came over. Eskel looked at Vesemir's expression, patted Wayne on the shoulder and said:

"Wayne, don't be anxious. Wait a few more years. Vesemir is also worried about your safety."

"When I transplanted that large red mutagen, I also found it very difficult and it put a great strain on my body."

"Every mutation is a possible death adventure for us demon hunters."

"We must proceed with caution to minimize the danger."

Looking at the concerned expressions on their faces, I knew that they were simply concerned about my safety.

So, after thinking about it, Wayne decided to reveal his trump card to dispel everyone's doubts, and said to Vesemir with a firm expression:

"Teacher, don't worry about the safety of dangerous transplant surgery."

"In fact, I have never told you that I have received the sacred blessing of the Lady of the Lake."

"It was a very powerful purification ritual. She repaired all the hidden injuries in my body and the discordant parts of my genes. I have become a knight of the Lady of the Lake. My body has been greatly enhanced compared to an ordinary person."

As he spoke, Wayne looked at his fellow demon hunters, sized up Lambert for a few seconds, and said:

"I'm not bragging. My current physical fitness is definitely the strongest among all the demon hunters. Whether it's strength, speed, reaction ability, or the mastery of chaos magic, it has far exceeded your expectations."

"If you still have doubts, I can compare myself with Lambert and show you how much I have grown over the past year."
