In the Giants’ Skeleton Fortress, there is a room specifically for storing gold, silver, and jewelry. It is filled with wealth and treasures collected by the Giants when they were wreaking havoc on the human world.
Although it is not known why these giants, who never use currency and to whom gold, silver and jewelry are meaningless, collect these things.
But when Wayne came to the huge treasure room, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and let out a happy laugh.
It was not for any other reason, but because there were too many gold and jewelry here. No one knew how long those giants had been wreaking havoc on the world, how many countries they had robbed, and how many treasures of the nobles and royal families they had taken away. In this simple room built with ordinary stones, the mountains of gold were already covered with a large amount of dust.
There were many statues made of gold, gold cups, gold utensils piled up there, and there was even an exquisite harp made entirely of gold, which was simply a work of art.
But now, these have become Master Wayne's property, and Master Wayne's ability to make money has been greatly enhanced.
He just walked around the room casually for a few seconds, admired it for a few dozen seconds, then patted the black purse on his belt, wanting his assistant to come out to work.
After a few seconds, Vivian, wearing a cute pink pajamas, poked her head out of the purse. She had a cartoon hairpin on her head. She looked around with sleepy eyes and shouted:
"Master Wayne, Vivian is taking a nap now. If it's not something important..."
However, before she could finish her words, the little fellow immediately widened his eyes, lost all sleepiness, flapped his little wings and flew out of the purse, then flew quickly throughout the room, making cheerful sounds from his mouth.
"Haha! Haha! So much gold!"
“Are we going to get rich?”
"Master Wayne, is this the treasury of some kingdom? Are we going to rob the treasury?"
Vivian cheered as she took out beautiful jewelry from the pile of treasures one by one. She drooled as if she had seen her favorite treasure and held them in her arms, not caring at all about the dust on them.
Wayne was actually not interested in these beautiful jewels. He only cared about how much money these things could be exchanged for. So, he waved to Vivian, and when the little girl reluctantly put down the jewels, Wayne poked her belly, which was exposed because of her pajamas, with his finger and said, "Vivian, exchange all the gold in this house for gold coins, and only keep the 20 most valuable and beautiful pieces of jewels. You can also choose one as my gift to you."
When Vivienne heard that she also had a gift, she immediately hugged Wayne's fingers and rubbed them with her face like a kitten, saying excitedly:
"Thank you, Master Wayne. I love you so much."
Vivian worked very efficiently. As a special race created by the Goddess of Wealth, they were born with all kinds of special magic. In less than an hour, all the gold and jewelry in the room were converted into gold coins at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the entire room was empty, soon only a treasure chest made of gold was left, which contained twenty of the most gorgeous and valuable jewels.
Vivian used magic to lift the box and placed it in front of Wayne. Then she put her hands on her waist, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said excitedly:
"Master Wayne, the gold coins have been exchanged. The treasures here are worth a total of 536,230 Orens. Because they are all pure gold, they are not purchased at half the price of spoils of war. The Goddess of Wealth only charged a handling fee of 1%."
Hearing about the income, Wayne couldn't help but smile.
A huge sum of more than 500,000 orens. Even if he pays off the loan, he will still have more than 400,000 left. This is a wealth that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
I'm afraid that in the entire Kingdom of Temeria, only the great nobles can be compared with Wayne in terms of wealth. It's really a windfall.
With such a sum of money, many of the subsequent plans can be carried out in an orderly manner.
Vivian was also very happy to get a piece of jewelry. Although the little one was sensible and only picked an ordinary gem bracelet, the jewelry that could be displayed in this room must be worth at least a few hundred orens, which was already a very generous tip.
When Wayne returned to the hall of the Skeleton Fortress again, several captured royal guards had been rescued. He also saw the movie protagonist Jack, who was wearing a fur coat and dressed like a villager.
However, at this time, Jack, without the magic crown and magic beans, was at most just an ordinary person with better luck. He had never accomplished the feat of being a hero and saving a damsel in distress, and Princess Elizabeth had no feelings for him.
The young princess just stared at Wayne who entered the hall with her eyes shining. It was obvious that she was more attracted to the powerful, mysterious and handsome demon hunter.
After arriving at the hall, Wayne walked straight to the princess and asked calmly:
"I'm going up there to fight the giants. Do you want to come and watch, Princess Elizabeth?"
Before Work could answer, the captain of the Royal Guard, Amont, who had just been rescued, said, "Master Wayne, we hope to escort the princess back to the ground now. You have obtained the magic crown and subdued the giants. I must report this to His Majesty the King."
"Otherwise they'll probably cut down the magical vines, and we won't be able to get back to the ground."
Wayne heard the hidden meaning in his words, but ignored him and continued to look at the princess, waiting for her answer.
Elizabeth, who was born adventurous, didn't think too much about it. Facing Wayne's invitation, she certainly didn't refuse. With a smile on her face, she quickly boarded the magic carpet, then skillfully hugged Wayne's waist and asked:
"Mr. Wayne, don't you already have the magic crown? Why do you want to use other means to subdue these giants?"
"What do you want with these giants?"
The question Elizabeth asked was also what Edmont and the others wanted to know. Although Wayne didn't have to answer it, he was too lazy to hide it and said directly:
"Although these giants are evil, they are still a powerful force. There is no justice or evil in power. It just depends on how you use it."
After saying this, he looked at Princess Elizabeth who seemed to be thinking about something, and said calmly:
"There is another group of villains in a faraway place. I plan to use these giants to deal with the other evil people. Even if both sides perish at that time, it will be considered a good thing."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to anyone else and flew directly with the princess out of the eye socket in the Skeleton Castle, flying to the open space above the canyon where the giants were waiting.
Without much greeting, the battle with the giant began soon.
Faced with such a chance to change their fate of being slaves, not all giants are willing to surrender. They will also fight for their freedom.
The first one to come on stage was the strongest among the giants, named Pruman. He was about ten meters tall. He was wearing iron armor that covered most of his body, holding a huge mace in his hand, and wearing an iron helmet on his head. The defensive power of his equipment surpassed most of the giants.
Unfortunately, when he faced the Sword of Promised Victory in Wayne's hand, due to Wayne's powerful strength and agility, the weapons of both sides collided, and the mace in his hand was directly cut off by the sword, and then his leg joints were quickly cut off.
Such a scene surprised the giants present and Princess Elizabeth who was watching the battle. They originally thought that Wayne was like the wizard in the story, who was only able to cast all kinds of magical spells and was not good at close combat. But they did not expect that Wayne's own speed and strength were not inferior to those of ordinary giants.
Coupled with his superb swordsmanship and his small size that allows him to dodge, I'm afraid that if he fights alone, no giant can be his opponent.
By the time Edmont and the others climbed up the cliff and arrived at the viewing point, the number of people fighting Wayne had increased to five giants. The giants no longer cared about outnumbering others and frantically wanted to take advantage of the only opportunity to regain their freedom.
However, when facing five enemies, Wayne no longer held back. He used all his elusive flashing ability, powerful swordsmanship, amazing physical fitness and the powerful Demon Hunter Seal.
The five giants couldn't even catch Wayne's shadow, and were killed cleanly and neatly by Wayne's beheading with a giant sword from behind or using magic seals.
The battle ended even faster than when he just fought a giant alone, which immediately caused an uproar among the giants, and they were filled with frustration.
After the two battles, the atmosphere on the battlefield became a little dull. Wayne boarded the magic carpet and shouted to the giants:
"I was already showing mercy in the two battles I had with you on the ground."
"Now, it's the final challenge. You can choose fifty giants. I'll give you one hour to prepare, and I won't show mercy."
"If you can't defeat me even with fifty giants, then you should know that you can't defeat me."
"If you dare to have second thoughts again, I will make your giant clan disappear from this world."
This is not an exaggeration. There are only about 300 giants in the entire Gantuowa Island, some strong, some thin, some young, and some looking very old.
If they select one-fifth of their fighters and still can't defeat Wayne, that would be very telling.
Soon, Wayne stood on the magic flying carpet and watched the discussion of the giants. At the same time, he also took note of the giants with some prestige among them. If these giants were still alive after the battle, they would be the focus of attention.
The giants are not fools. They know very well that the next battle will determine the fate of the giants. Faced with Wayne's air advantage, the giants immediately mobilized the strength of the entire clan and began to look for a large number of projectiles.
Most of them were stones of varying sizes. Some directly found some relatively straight trees and made them into javelins. There was even a time when the giants were more cunning and took the fishing nets they used for hunting, trying to use this tool to capture the flying witcher in the sky.
However, their wish was soon dashed as Wayne did not give them such an opportunity.
An hour passed quickly.
This time, Wayne's flying height was not two or three hundred meters, a distance that projectiles could barely reach. He directly stayed at a height of about five hundred meters, and then, in front of the astonished eyes of all the giants participating in the battle, he took out a large number of alchemical bombs.
This was made when he was practicing his skills in Vizima. It has been stored for nearly a year and will not be long before it expires. This time he has made such a large fortune, and he just took this opportunity to let these giants have a taste of the power of money. It can also be considered as a waste utilization.
Soon, under the operation of Wayne's Igni Signet, hundreds of alchemical bombs of various types were thrown like raindrops towards the fifty giants below.
There are honeycomb bombs that explode at the slightest touch, Dragon Dream bombs that burn with high-temperature flames, demon dust that emits large amounts of poisonous gas, and even the North Wind bombs that were left over from the last fight against the evil god and can instantly freeze the target.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with rumbling explosions, flames, poisonous gases, ice and frost, and most of all, the desperate and mournful howls of the giants.
The giants tried their best to throw the prepared projectiles at the witcher in the sky, but such resistance was in vain. Almost all the projectiles only flew two or three hundred meters before falling down powerlessly, and even knocked down several of their own people.
The battle had only begun for five minutes when nearly one-third of the giants died in the explosion, poison gas and frost.
Not only the Titans on the battlefield, but also Princess Elizabeth, Edmont and other Titans who did not participate in the battle, all opened their mouths wide.
Looking at the tragedy on the battlefield, they developed a strong fear of these powerful magics.
Having never seen a bomb before, they had regarded all these killing weapons as Wayne's magic. It was hard for them to imagine that a mere human who looked similar to them could release such devastating power and easily use magic to kill dozens of giants.
I'm afraid that even the entire army of the Albyrian Kingdom would suffer the same fate in the face of such powerful magic.
Moreover, the enemy can fly at will and has the advantage of high altitude, which makes the tall walls on which humans depend for survival useless and instead becomes a coffin that wraps them up.
Soon after a few minutes, half of the giants on the field had died, and the remaining giants, seeing that there was no hope of victory, some cowardly ones were already shouting for mercy and surrendering.
When Wayne heard such a plea for mercy, he felt no ripples in his heart. He took out a two-ring amplification scroll preserved by the legendary Tesla wizard and said indifferently:
"Once we are on this battlefield, there is no option of surrender. Only one of us can survive."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the desperate expressions of the giants. He still took out a large number of bombs, continued to transform into a bomber, turned into a bomber, and began to throw bombs accurately, blowing the giants below into pieces and burning them into charred corpses.
Until the end, he did not even let go of the giants who tried to escape. With a cold expression, he took out his Dragon Roar Giant Bow and used metal arrows to shoot them one by one on the way to escape.
The battle is over and the dust has settled.
Wayne slowly landed in front of the remaining two hundred giants. He did not take out Eric's crown, but looked at them one by one with cold eyes and said, "Send your loyalty to your master, slaves."
"I've already given you the chance. You should know clearly what will happen if you resist me."
"Kneel down and accept your fate."
Although these giants were four or five times taller than him, they all avoided Wayne's sight in fear when faced with his cold gaze.
There is no living thing that is not afraid of death, not to mention that the other party holds treasures that they cannot resist and possesses power that they cannot resist.
Led by some giants who knew what was happening, the remaining two hundred or so giants quickly knelt down like a tide, lying low and shouting, "Master, we will obey your orders."
