After hearing what Francesca said, Wayne frowned. Is this idiot Henselt just bored? He does nothing good every day and just makes things difficult for others. In an instant, Wayne wanted to kill this guy.
As a man with money power, can he still indulge a self-righteous bastard? If you want to do it, do it. After thinking for more than ten seconds, Wayne looked at Francesca and asked meaningfully:
"Madam, if the king of Kaedwen suddenly died of illness, would it be a good thing or a bad thing for the elves in Kaedwen?"
“Will it cause any unforeseen impact?”
Hearing Wayne say this lightly, the elven sorceress opened her mouth slightly at first. However, as an elf, after living for thousands of years, her ability to accept things was already very strong. At the same time, she also had no good feelings towards the human king, so she quickly suppressed her surprise and began to consider the feasibility of this matter.
After a few dozen seconds, Francesca and Wayne looked at each other and said in a serious tone: "Although King Henselt of Kaedwen is almost thirty years old this year and has married two wives, he still has no children or heirs."
"If he dies unexpectedly and does not leave a will."
"The Kingdom of Kaedwen will most likely fall into chaos due to the succession issue, and may even trigger a succession war between lords. This may also trigger a chain reaction, causing other neighboring countries to take action as well."
After talking about the possible benefits of this action, Francesca continued:
"However, the death of a king is much more serious than the death of an earl. The Warlock Brotherhood will definitely send out the most powerful warlock to investigate this incident."
"I guess the members of the Supreme Council will also be dispatched. They are all warlocks of the same level as me, with rich experience and strong strength."
"This incident will definitely cause unrest, and they must give an explanation to all the northern kings."
Wayne nodded. The consequence was pretty much what he expected.
However, he did not have any fear in his heart. With his current strength, he was not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight. Moreover, he had the powerful bloodline of the Ancient Blood as his trump card. Even if he could defeat Viggo Fortz, the most powerful mortal in the wizarding world, he was confident that he could fight him.
As long as his identity as a demon hunter is not exposed and no trouble is caused to his good brothers, even if Dante becomes the world's most wanted criminal, it will be a small problem and may even increase his deterrent power.
"Then let's make a plan to kill Henselt before this public trial."
"It's too boring to always be on guard against such a bastard. Let Kaedwen fall into chaos, which will also help the evacuation and rescue of the non-human races."
"However, I don't have any informants in Kaedwen, and I can't get any intelligence. I'll have to leave the task of gathering intelligence to you."
"Let's make a battle plan after we have gathered enough intelligence."
Seeing that Wayne had decided to kill the king in just a few words, Francesca hesitated. She took a step closer to Wayne, a worried look in her eyes, and gently advised: "Isn't this too reckless, Wayne?"
"The number of humans is now dozens of times that of the elves. Once they find out that the murderer who killed the king is an elf, our situation will become very difficult."
Wayne grinned when he heard this, stretched out his finger to lift up Francesca's beautiful face, and said with a confident but indifferent tone:
"Then just don't let them find out, okay?"
"Anyway, it was Dante who killed people. It has nothing to do with elves and demon hunters."
"The fewer people involved in this, the better. They must be people you completely trust. Just tell me a time and place, and I will handle the rest."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion from me. If you have other plans, we can discuss it again."
At this point, his indifferent tone changed and became somewhat admonishing:
"However, ma'am, the reason why the Ainshidi elves were defeated by humans in the past was because they lacked determination and courage to fight to the death. That's why they gave humans enough time to develop while they were hesitant."
"If you had been able to defeat them the moment they first landed, the world would certainly not be what it is now."
"If you hesitate, you will lose. We don't have many options left now."
Francesca didn't care about the young demon hunter's rude behavior. She turned her head slightly, thinking about what Wayne said, but still hesitated and said:
"This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the sages of the elves."
"Don't act rashly for now. Once we have discussed everything carefully, we can discuss the feasibility of this matter."
Wayne withdrew his finger, shrugged indifferently, and said:
"Just think it over for yourself, ma'am."
Then he remembered something and said to Francesca:
"By the way, the group of mercenaries I hired have been working in Vizima for almost two months, and they have achieved considerable results."
"Don't leave in a hurry. You can have lunch with us at noon, and then you can leave with the refugees in the afternoon."
At noon that day, Wayne showed off his world-class cooking skills in his mansion again, cooking more than a dozen delicious dishes to entertain his old and new friends.
Reso and others from the Viper School, as well as the girl Sianna, all tasted Wayne's cooking for the first time.
The delicacy was enough to conquer anyone's appetite. It made them open their mouths wide and then they started to gobble it up without caring about their image.
These people never imagined that Wayne, who looked so strong and rich and enjoyed life so much, actually had such amazing cooking skills.
Berengar and Alex, who had grown into a teenager, had not eaten Wayne's cooking for a long time, and they both ate with gusto.
After lunch, Wayne took Francesca, who was also disguised as a human girl, to find the mercenary base of the little beautiful cat Julia, where he met the little beautiful cat.
Now, with the support of Wayne's financial power, the Cat's Paw Mercenary Group of Little Cat has expanded to 30 members, and has entered a period of vigorous development.
And their work ability did not disappoint. Over the past two months, they not only recruited poor non-humans from the slums of Vizima who were willing to make a living elsewhere, but also painted a rosy picture of a bright future for them and even paid a lot of resettlement fees.
At the same time, he also began to cast a wider net, sending members of his mercenary group to several other large cities in Temeria. He also established some bases in other places to recruit non-human races, laying the foundation for future recruitment work.
Now, they have gathered nearly 700 members of non-human races in an abandoned village outside the city, including about 400 elves.
Such results have already made Wayne quite surprised, although these people can only increase his rescue mission by more than 400 points and cannot even exchange for a master-level treasure chest.
However, being able to recruit so many people within two months shows that this work has been put on the right track. The future profits will become greater and greater, and the points in the later stages will increase like a snowball.
After a brief greeting, Julia brought Wayne and Francesca to the outside of the city and met the non-human refugees who were settled outside the city.
As expected of a top student who graduated from a military academy, Julia's management is well organized. The semi-military management makes the whole village appear very orderly, and the mental outlook of the refugees is also very good.
Wayne immediately paid Julia the money that should be paid.
The huge sum of money of nearly 10,000 Orens instantly dazzled the eyes of the female mercenary leader who was only in her twenties, and also made her feel relieved.
You know, even though Wayne gave her a considerable amount of start-up capital, the recruitment and resettlement of more than 700 non-human refugees and the purchase of various supplies almost used up all the savings of their Cat's Claw Mercenary Group, and they even incurred a considerable debt.
If Wayne's mansion wasn't right in the city, and the monk could run away but the temple could not, Julia would have almost thought she was crazy or had been cheated by such a huge expenditure.
But now, with such a large amount of funds, the Cat's Claw Mercenary Group will soon enter a faster development channel. Perhaps it won't be long before it will leap from a small mercenary group to a large mercenary group.
Wayne's action of taking out a large sum of gold without any delay also attracted Francesca's attention.
She had originally planned to advance the money herself, after all, she would have to pay Wayne the mission fee per person later. However, she did not expect that this fellow tribesman of hers was more financially resourceful than she had imagined.
After the delivery was completed, Wayne also handed over the results to the elven sorceress and obtained more than 450 points.
And Francesca's subsequent actions fully demonstrated her strength as a top female sorceress.
With the help of a magic circle, the elven sorceress set up a large illusion formation outside the deserted village, which directly hid the village and kept it away from the eyes and ears of outsiders.
This is a long-term formation. No one can enter this manor without special magic props.
This place can also become one of the bases for delivering non-human refugees in the Kingdom of Temeria in the future.
After that, Francesca spent only one afternoon setting up a large portal in the village, which directly connected to a place in the Hundred Flowers Valley. Then, with the help of some soldiers on the opposite side, she transported all the more than 700 refugees to the Hundred Flowers Valley.
By nightfall, the only person left in the manor was the elven sorceress, who looked a little tired.
This scene made Julia, the little beautiful cat that Wayne stayed to watch, so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
Although this female mercenary had seen sorceresses before, but being able to transport nearly seven hundred spellcasters in just one afternoon was more than just an ordinary strength; it was simply a mighty power.
Wayne, who was standing next to her, patted Julia on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Miss Julia, we will be working together for a long time in the future. You are a smart person, and there are some rules you should understand."
"I will not interfere with the development of the Cat's Claw Mercenary Group, but I hope that you can be as cautious as possible and not recruit low-quality members or people who are likely to become traitors into your mercenary group just to grow rapidly."
"You now have a lot of money, and we have the support of extraordinary forces behind you. You can take your time to carefully select and build an elite team instead of a mob."
"You still have a long way to go in the future, and currently I only trust you in the entire mercenary group."
"As long as you work hard for us, the benefits you will receive in the future will be far more than you can imagine."
After beating Julia up, Wayne took the tired Francesca back home.
However, the elven sorceress did not stay long. She took some cakes and snacks that Wayne gave her, opened the portal overnight, and returned to the Valley of Flowers.
Although no one knows what means she used to convince so many refugees to live in Baihua Valley, as the manager of Baihua Valley, with so many people coming at once, she had to go back and make arrangements personally.
After dealing with these urgent matters, Wayne could finally relax and take care of his own affairs.
The most important thing, of course, was obtaining the treasure chest that he had stored for four months.
Since he returned to Kaer Morhen for the winter last year, he has been waiting for the opportunity to open the treasure chest.
Of course, the main reason is that what I got in the past few months were just some ordinary and expert-level treasure chests, and I didn’t have too many expectations.
However, after returning from Toussaint this time, there were four more master-level treasure chests in his system. The first two were obtained from the mission in Toussaint, and the last two were the mission rewards for rebuilding the Witcher Cult.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for the next lucky day.
