220. Chapter 218 Hunting Giants and Saving the Princess



Faced with Wayne's strength, King Brawell hesitated but did not refuse. After all, favors can be big or small. For old foxes like them, when they encounter something they really cannot agree to, they will definitely use various excuses to shirk.

Not only that, in order to ensure his daughter's safety, Wayne, who has a mysterious origin, is just an insurance.

As a king, Brawell quickly ordered his subordinates to form a rescue team, composed of the most skilled climbers among the royal guards, each of whom was a brave warrior willing to sacrifice his life for the princess.

Just like in the original novel, after hearing the information about the giants described by Wayne, the villain Count Roderick subconsciously touched Eric's magic crown hidden in his waist bag and was ecstatic.

He immediately made a hypocritical request to the king, asking him to join the rescue team to save his fiancée.

He was originally chosen by King Brawell to be the princess's husband, so such a noble act was certainly not rejected. The protagonist of the movie, Jack, a poor boy who found that his magic beans were lost, also requested to join the team to rescue the princess for his dream of adventure and the unattainable idea of ​​saving the princess.

While these ordinary people were working hard for their dreams, our Master Wayne had already flown his magic carpet to a place about one thousand meters above the ground.

Unfortunately, as he expected, when the magic carpet flew to a certain height, no matter how Wayne controlled it, it could no longer continue to fly upwards. If it was controlled forcibly, it would affect its flight stability and might even make the flying spell ineffective, causing unnecessary danger.

There was no other way, Wayne could only choose to stop at the location of the magic vines, and then use his climbing skills to climb up along the magic vines like the rescue team below.

However, demon hunters are not ordinary people. Master Wayne's physical fitness is more than five times that of ordinary soldiers. Coupled with his skills and physical strength, he is different from the rescue teams in the movies that need two days to climb to the top of the magic vines and reach the giant's territory.

It only took him six hours to climb about eight thousand meters and reach the giants' territory, Gantuowa.

At this altitude, it has passed through the cumulonimbus cloud layer of this world and reached the height of the troposphere. So unlike what many people imagine, the entire giant continent floating in the sky is a sunny scene.

At the top of the magic vine, in the dilapidated wooden house that was brought to the giant's territory by the vine, Princess Elizabeth had already left and the house was empty.

Seeing this scene, Wayne couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a restless princess! Running away from home and escaping marriage are commonplace for her. However, it must be said that this princess is still a courageous girl.

Of course, it is also possible that she was hungry, because judging from the time, the princess probably hadn't eaten for a day.

As an excellent demon hunter, Wayne's reconnaissance ability is still very strong. It may not be as good as Geralt's, but he quickly found the route she took based on the footprints on the ground and the clues left by the princess.

Although saving the princess was just something he had to do by the way, the reward for a master-level mission was still very attractive.

The magic vines are connected to a skull-shaped drainage channel located at the very edge of the Giant Continent. Looking at this amazing sculpture, Wayne suspected that there might have been higher-level powers in this world in the past, and perhaps the God or angel in the story also existed.

But it may be because the magic power faded and it entered the Dharma Ending Age, making it impossible for them to survive and so they left here. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain such a huge continent floating in the air and these sculptures that do not seem to be carved by humans.

With this thought in mind, Wayne quickly followed the direction the princess left.

After all, there are still a large number of giants on this continent. Although the princess did not encounter any danger in the movie, it is not certain in reality.

Wayne moved very quickly, following the traces left by the princess, across a plain, along the canyon, and into the forest.

About an hour later, he saw a girl wearing a black cotton coat, long riding boots, with a slim figure and beautiful long chestnut hair, running in panic from afar.

Behind the girl, a huge humanoid creature with iron armor on its chest, rough skin, about eight meters tall and fluffy hair was chasing her slowly.

Princess Elizabeth was obviously terrified. She ran and called for help, while the giant behind her had a playful smile on his face, and he obviously enjoyed chasing humans.

Seeing this, Wayne shook his right hand on the space bracelet, and a huge bow more than one meter long appeared in his right hand. The entire bow was made of a mixture of metal and special wooden materials. It looked gorgeous and domineering. It was the Dragon Roar Bow given to him by the female elf Toruveil, and it was carefully crafted by a master-level elf bow maker.

After gripping the Dragon Roar Bow tightly, Wayne took out a huge black arrow made entirely of steel and about one meter long from the space bracelet.

He took a deep breath, aimed at the running giant about two hundred meters away, drew his bow and shot the arrow in one go.

The huge Dragon Roar bow was pulled into a full moon, and with a loud bang, the metal arrow shot out by him turned into a stream of light, instantly flew over two hundred meters, and shot through the back of the neck of the running giant with incredible accuracy.

Just as if a hole was poked in a water bag filled with water, the running giant let out a wail, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the wound torn by the arrow.

The giant, whose name was unknown, covered his throat with his hands and looked in Wayne's direction with some disbelief. Due to the inertia of running, he staggered a few steps and fell heavily to the ground. He could only lie on the ground with his eyes wide open, making a dying struggle.

The princess who was running away heard the sound of a giant hitting the ground from behind, and subconsciously looked behind her. When she saw the giant whose throat had been pierced by a huge arrow, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a cry of surprise.

Soon, following the direction behind the giant, the princess saw the witcher boarding the magic carpet, holding a huge and gorgeous Dragon Roar bow, wearing armor, and flying towards her with a handsome appearance.

No matter how surprised the princess was, after Wayne came to her side, he nodded slightly to the princess and said in a calm voice:

"Your Highness Princess Elizabeth, my name is Wayne, and I'm here to rescue you at your father's request."

"Next, you will act with me. I will protect your safety."

After saying that, Wayne looked back at the giant who was completely dead, then extended his hand to Princess Elizabeth, motioning her to board the magic carpet.

The princess hesitated for a few seconds, also looked at the giant with a horrible death, then reached out and held Wayne's hand, and with his help stood on the magic flying carpet.

Compared with the dangerous environment around her, she obviously trusts the handsome human in front of her who has special abilities more.

"Mr. Wayne, are we going to fly back to the ground now?"

Wayne didn't answer. He took back the Dragon Roar Bow in his hand, then controlled the magic flying carpet to fly to the giant's body. He patted the black purse on his waist, and the wealth elf Vivian immediately flew out of the purse with a silver bell-like laughter.

She first circled Wayne and Princess Elizabeth, then landed on Wayne's outstretched hand, stretched herself, revealing her slender white waist under her shirt, and then shouted with a smile: "Master Wayne, call Vivian, what do you want?"

Wayne ignored the bright and curious eyes of Princess Elizabeth behind him, pointed at the giant corpse below, and asked in a flat voice: "How much is this thing below worth?"

Upon hearing this, Vivian also looked at Princess Elizabeth behind Wayne with some curiosity, but the little girl was not one to meddle in other people's business.

She immediately flapped her wings and flew to the giant's body below. She didn't care that it was a corpse at all. She looked back and forth as if she was examining a piece of merchandise. She also waved her arms and cast a spell similar to identification. Then she quickly flew back to Wayne's palm and said with a pout, "Master Wayne, this is just a very ordinary humanoid corpse. It has almost no magic power in its body, its soul is very weak, and its body has no nutrition. It can only be sold for the price of a wild boar, about five Orens!"

"But the armor he was wearing, although of very poor quality, was not too heavy and could be sold as iron metal. I estimated that it weighed about half a ton and could be sold for eighty orens."

The little girl was very considerate. She knew very well that Wayne had always been using Oren, so every time he asked her to sell some junk, she would convert it into Oren so that Wayne could accurately understand the value of the thing.

Wayne nodded indifferently. Forty-five orens was not bad. The trophy purchasing center gave it half price. They were all junk anyway, and he didn't have the time to sell them in the market. There was not enough storage space, and he would be easily exploited by unscrupulous businessmen.

Besides, the giants in this world cannot be compared with the giants in the wizarding world.

In the wizarding world, the materials of a giant's entire body can probably be sold for more than ten times the price because of the chaos magic contained in their body. If mutation inducers can be found in their body, the price can be doubled again.

"That's it, Vivian. I'll sell it to you. Take it away quickly. It's quite an eyesore."

Vivian giggled and quickly flew to the giant, chanting a spell and waving her hands in the air a few times.

No one knew how she did it, but the giant's body was immediately covered with a layer of magical fluorescence and disappeared without a trace in a few seconds. Only Wayne's steel arrow, which was slightly deformed by the fall, remained on the ground.

Seeing such a magical scene, Princess Elizabeth, who was standing behind Wayne, couldn't help herself. Everything she saw in the past two days had overturned her cognition of more than ten years, making this princess, who was already full of curiosity, feel scared and worried, but also couldn't help but feel curious and excited.

She tilted her head, poked her little head out from behind the tall Wayne, pointed at the cute Vivian, and asked, "Mr. Wayne, who is this cute, um, cute little girl? Is she the elf in those stories?"

Wayne looked at Princess Elizabeth, whose eyes were full of curiosity, and said with a calm expression, "Almost the same, but she is not an elf, but a wealth elf, and she is my assistant."

At this time, Vivian also finished her work. She flew in front of Princess Elizabeth, showing a very contagious and flattering smile, and said to Princess Elizabeth with a smile: "Yes, young lady, I am Vivian, the most loyal servant of Master Wayne. Vivian likes Master Wayne the most."

Listening to the flattering words of the little guy, Wayne knew that what the little guy liked most was not him, but the tips he gave him. He patted the black purse on his waist unbearably and said to the shrewd little guy helplessly: "Come back, Vivian, don't act like a spoiled child. There will be a big job soon, and I will definitely give you a big reward then."

Upon hearing this, Vivian immediately flew to Wayne's head excitedly, kissed him hard on the face, and then flew back to the black purse with a smile on her face. Before entering, she did not forget to say flatteringly:

"Master Wayne, please tell me what you need. Vivian loves you the most."

After Vivian returned to the purse, Wayne was about to take off when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound in Princess Elizabeth's stomach behind him. He turned around to look at the princess, who was also quite embarrassed. She covered her stomach with a blushing face and lowered her head, not daring to look Wayne in the eyes.

As a princess of a kingdom, Elizabeth had never been hungry and of course had no resistance to hunger, so she felt a little ashamed of her performance.

Wayne found it amusing in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. When interacting with strangers, he preferred to be expressionless so that others couldn't tell his inner thoughts from his expression.

Wayne reached out and took out a bread covered with cream and honey from his space bracelet and handed it to Princess Elizabeth. This was a dessert he specially made to win the favor of girls. With his cooking skills, no girl could refuse it.

Princess Elizabeth was of course no exception. It can even be said that the girl, who had been spoiled by British cuisine since childhood, was captivated by the aroma of the bread as soon as she smelled it. She immediately picked up the bread and began to eat it in small bites with a happy expression on her face.

After she finished eating the bread with full concentration and reluctance, she realized that Wayne in front of her was silently looking at her.

Elizabeth shyly avoided Wayne's gaze, but when Wayne took out the second cream bun, the princess couldn't help but take it, unable to resist the temptation of such a delicious food.

After finishing the meal, Wayne did not return to the ground. Saving the princess was just a casual act. The purpose of his trip was to subdue the giants and use them for his own purposes.

Although Eric has not yet obtained the magic crown, it does not prevent him from conveying his terror to the giants living here.

Wayne felt that relying solely on a magic crown might be able to temporarily control the behavior of the giants, but it was impossible to conquer these alien races who looked down on humans from the bottom of their hearts. After all, almost all creatures were the same, fearing power rather than virtue.

Fear and irresistible power are the basis of domination.

If you want to completely control this group of giants, you must make them fear you from the bottom of their hearts and understand the consequences of disobeying management and disobeying orders.

Thus, an unprecedented hunting operation began on the continent called Gantova, the territory of giants.

With the magic flying carpet and the Dragon Roar Bow, Wayne completely transformed into a killer flying in the sky. With his exquisite archery skills and flexible aerial movements, he began to hunt all the giants within his sight.
