Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The time came to May 1253. This month was quite peaceful for the Southern Kingdom or most countries in the North, and basically nothing major happened.

But for the residents of the Kingdom of Kaedwen, it was a very torturous month.

First, there was the strange hunting celebration. Before the nobles set out, there was an earthquake and a fire. The whole celebration was in chaos and many people suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Although there were no large-scale casualties at the scene, only one or two unlucky people were affected by the fire and lost their lives.

However, King Henselt of the Kingdom of Kaedwen fell into a coma. Under the treatment and protection of the warlocks, there was no movement for a whole month, neither death nor awakening. The entire kingdom fell into a strange calm.

Not long after, after many professionals conducted tests, the Warlock Brotherhood concluded that this was just an accident without any external interference. It was purely because of bad luck that King Henselt became an unlucky guy.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. This king has neither children nor brothers. The Kingdom of Kaedwen cannot wait for a king who has become a vegetable and may die at any time to take charge of the situation. The throne now will most likely be chosen from the royal family's side branch.

The change of power is often accompanied by bloody wars and various conspiracies and intrigues. Although Henselt has no children or brothers, he has many distant relatives, many of whom are powerful nobles in the kingdom.

So at this point, the entire aristocracy of the Kingdom of Kaedwen is in turmoil, filled with all kinds of shameful deals and betrayals, and everyone is sharpening their knives, accumulating strength, and waiting for things to develop further.

Even the Warlock Brotherhood, which wanted to take charge of the situation, could only wait and see and could not intervene in the struggle between the nobles.

What made the Kingdom of Kaedwen even more uncomfortable was that Green Valley Mountain, the center of the earthquake, had been completely destroyed by the earthquake for unknown reasons.

Strangely, not long after the earthquake, the entire Green Valley Mountain was covered by thick fog, and most of the nearby hunters who entered the mountain to hunt never returned. Even if they were lucky enough to come back alive, they would be like crazy, claiming that there were many monsters in the fog and that the end of the world was approaching.

Such rumors soon spread among the people, and the range of the fog continued to spread with Green Valley Mountain as the center, causing a lot of riots and making the people of the Kingdom of Kaedwen panic-stricken and frightened.

In the past, whenever people encountered such strange things, they would subconsciously think of looking for monster hunters and ask these monster experts to help them get rid of the monsters.

However, over the years, due to the Kingdom of Kaedwen's exclusion of non-human races, there have been basically very few witchers coming to this kingdom, and it has become a country that is not welcome by witchers. Now they have searched the entire country but have not found any witcher to accept this commission.

As for other mercenaries, even if they accepted the mission, they would never return after entering the fog, and they had no way of finding out what was hidden in the thick fog. Moreover, only a few people knew that even the most powerful Warlock Brotherhood in the North had failed twice on this issue, losing several warlocks in a row, and was currently racking their brains over this issue.

In the Blue Mountains not far from the Kingdom of Kaedwen, in Kaermohen, the lair of the Wolf School witchers, after nearly two months of transformation, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

The original outer walls of the castle have been demolished, many old buildings have disappeared and turned into large and small stones, a large amount of land has been leveled, and only the original main building remains of the entire castle.

As for the reason for doing this, of course, it is to expand the castle on a large scale.

This was not the old witcher's plan. Vesemir originally just wanted to patch up the castle, so that this ancient castle, which had been built for hundreds of years, could stand for another hundred years and continue to be used.

However, faced with Wayne's persuasion and the bright future he described, the old man finally gave up and agreed to the reconstruction plan.

After all, such a small castle can barely be used as the headquarters of a few people from the Wolf School. But if the cult really develops in the future and demon hunters from other schools also return, such an ancient castle will definitely not be able to serve such a role.

Therefore, their preliminary work is to collect a large amount of stones and other raw materials for building castles with the help of these giants, and then open up a huge territory for a new witcher castle. When Wayne goes out next time, he will bring back a group of professional construction workers and castle design masters to build a new home for all witchers.

However, it must be said that compared to the size and strength of humans, giants are really very suitable for use as a labor force. Each of them is equivalent to a large human crane. Many things that cannot be accomplished by manpower and require tools and machinery can be completed by giants, and they are more efficient and faster, greatly saving a lot of time.

According to the report from Giant General Glass, a group of female giants among the giant tribe are already pregnant and are trying to give birth to a new generation of giants.

Such news seemed to bring new hope to the giant tribe, which had always been full of barbarism and violence.

In addition, Wayne's management was not harsh and he was not a cruel master, so the lives of the giants were not miserable. This made the giants' inner resistance to Wayne seem to have disappeared a lot, and their lives were full of hope. They even became more motivated at work and often had smiles on their faces.

After all, there is an old saying that life is like rape. Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.

With the help of these giant labor forces, a large amount of construction materials were piled up, a large area of ​​​​space was cleared in the forest near Kaermohen, and even the large lake at the foot of the mountain was transformed and some fishing work began to be carried out.

The magic plantation area that Wayne attached great importance to has also been expanded several times. However, due to the limited abilities of the two beautiful maidens, they are unable to produce more magic vegetables before activating other methods to gather magic power and infuse it into more magic vegetables.

However, these basic developments are not the most gratifying things. What is most significant for the entire Demon Hunter Cult is that after two months of painstaking research, the talented beauty warlock Triss finally used her wisdom to activate the magic maze in the wizarding world.

On this day, everyone in Kaermohen, except for the giants who were still working, came to the back mountain, where the magic node was located.

Triss had some dark circles at the corners of her eyes, but they were covered by makeup. Her expression at this moment was tired yet excited.

She, Vesemir, Berengar, Wayne and a few others gathered around the controller of the maze device, watching the small magic crystals and the large magic crystal inside floating in the air, rotating in a very mysterious and wonderful posture. Layers of strong magic fluctuations continued to expand outward from the device. They were all concentrating, as if they wanted to see some clues from the device.

Due to the long period of research, Triss's voice was slightly hoarse, and she spoke quickly:

"It is now accumulating magic power. In just half an hour, a powerful magic barrier will be constructed."

"At that time, with this place as the center, the area within a diameter of fifty kilometers will become an area that our sect can directly control."

"Although the power of this magic node can only enable us to activate half of the functions of the magic circle of the maze, and the control area is also greatly reduced, this barrier is still very powerful. I think it is already the most powerful barrier in the world."

Wayne nodded. He also participated in the research of the maze magic circle. Although Triss was still the main force, he also provided a lot of excellent suggestions and was already well aware of the function of this magic circle.

This explanation was mainly for other members to hear.

So, he took over the conversation and said to the others, mainly Vesemir: "Once the barrier is formed, a large shield that can force intervention will be formed at the outermost edge of our barrier."

"You cannot observe any information inside the barrier from outside, nor can you use teleportation spells to enter our barrier. Those who force their way into the barrier will be forcibly teleported outside the barrier."

"In short, only those who are allowed by us can enter the barrier, and inside this barrier, all magic power is controlled by the magic circle."

"As long as we want, we can isolate the magic power of anyone who enters the barrier, making the enemy's spellcasters lose the right to use magic power and become ordinary people who cannot cast spells. We can also provide magical support to our spellcasters, greatly increasing their strength."

"As for other enemies, we can teleport them at will, break them up into pieces, or even teleport them directly into cells or any terrain that is advantageous to us."

Then, Wayne smiled at the two beautiful ladies and said:

"Once the barrier is established, we will increase the concentration of magic power in the magic vegetable planting area. Then, we can speed up the growth of these magic plants as a whole."

Then, Wayne talked about some details about the function of the maze magic circle. The powerful power of this magic circle stunned Vesemir and others.

Vesemir stroked his beard, looked at Wayne with strange eyes, sighed, and said with emotion: "What a powerful creation, child."

"That is to say, in this magical realm, you are almost like a god, invincible in every battle, and you can do whatever you want."

"As long as this magic barrier is still there, the Demon Hunter Cult established here will be invincible and will exist forever, right?"

Wayne was somewhat embarrassed by Vesemir's statement, but he still explained: "Teacher, although it is almost as you said, this magic barrier also has limitations."

"If the enemy is strong enough, as powerful as a god, such a person will be able to resist the control of the magic circle and will not be affected by it."

"Of course, such beings are extremely rare. Maybe there are such beings in our world, but they are unlikely to appear in our lives."

After listening to Wayne's explanation, everyone else was silent, most of them were immersed in shock. Vesemir coughed lightly and said:

"No matter what, this is a good thing for demon hunters. At least our cult will no longer be destroyed by enemy sieges like in the past. The new generation of demon hunters will have a wider living environment and a safer training area."

"With such a large territory, we can also accommodate many people who are willing to fight alongside us and live here together."

After a brief silence, the charging of the magic maze was quickly completed. Wayne nodded to Vesemir and others, then walked to Triss, took out the master control ring, and gave the order to start the maze device.

Accompanied by a wonderful melody.

In an instant, a magical force powerful enough to interfere with the heaven and earth began to spread outward with this device as the center.

All the creatures within the barrier felt a powerful wave of magical power sweeping through their bodies, and eventually formed a transparent, fog-like, super-large membrane on the periphery of the barrier, completely separating this place from the world outside the barrier.

From this moment on, Wayne finally had a safe base that he no longer needed to spend a lot of energy to protect.

But he is part of the Demon Hunter Order's plan, and he also has a security guarantee that can be called the cornerstone.

Ding! Epic quest [Rebuilding the Demon Hunter Cult], quest progress increased by 1.

Gain: 300 experience points, 1 master-level treasure chest.

Current progress: 3/10.

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the system prompt.

Now that the base has a foundation, it's time to recruit more new people.
