As for the power of the Ancient Blood, he, the low-profile version, has the most say.
To put it bluntly, if a top archer or other person with long-range attack capabilities possesses the teleportation ability of the ancient blood.
He can easily use the kite-flying method to kill a large number of enemies. He can fly directly to heights that ordinary people cannot reach. He can use various terrain advantages to do many things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
You can neither catch up nor escape. As long as your physical strength is not exhausted, many ordinary methods are simply useless for those who have the ability to flash.
Even if a person has no magical talent, as long as he possesses the ancient blood, he can become an extremely powerful warrior.
For spellcasters, Ancient Blood represents the powerful talent of Source Warlock, and there is no spellcaster who does not covet this power.
However, the ability to travel through worlds is extremely powerful, and not every owner of Ancient Blood can do it.
They have neither systematic assistance nor guidance from the elven sages. Even this ability is rarely recorded in all the books. Many owners of the Ancient Blood are not aware of this.
Moreover, because the owner of the Ancient Blood has not appeared for many years, most warlocks think that this bloodline is just a legend, and few people are really willing to spend the time to look for this tiny possibility.
Therefore, there are probably only a few suspects in this case, and the scope is quite small.
According to the plot in the original book, as the princess of Cintra, the person who has the ability and courage to take the risk to kidnap her is most likely Viggo Fortz.
He is the powerful wizard who is nicknamed "Master Wei" by many people. He broke Geralt's legs with a stick in a duel and easily defeated the high-level vampire Regis.
In the original story, this guy has been searching for the power of ancient blood for many years, and even cooperated with the hedgehog man Donnie to help him become the emperor of Nilfgaard.
Although the plot has changed beyond recognition due to Wayne's intervention, if Donny is gone, won't there still be a usurper?
A person like Vigo Fortz would probably not let go of the Ancient Blood, but why he had waited until now to take action, the reason was probably only known to him.
After selecting the biggest suspect, Wayne decided to talk to Francesca later. As a member of the Supreme Council and having been in the warlock circle for so many years, the elven sorceress must know a celebrity in Wayne's circle and know him better.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious. Now he is injured and cannot use magic power unless necessary, so his strength has declined.
Although Wayne has transcended the mortal stage in terms of physical strength and is no longer afraid of anyone or any monster in this world, it is still better to be cautious.
As the strongest human wizard in the original work, Brother Wei is still quite valuable.
Just as Wayne was thinking about the issue of Princess Cintra and the Ancient Blood, the door of the parliament hall was pushed open again.
Francesca, a beautiful elf girl wearing a white lace dress, a jewel necklace and revealing her fair skin on her chest, slowly walked over from the gate.
She looked at Wayne tenderly, glanced around the meeting room, and found that some of Wayne's capable subordinates were not there. She tilted her head in a strange way, smiled and said:
"I heard you were in a meeting here, Wayne. I just happened to come to you for something. But where are your subordinates? Why are you the only one here?"
Wayne spread his hands towards the elven sorceress and said with a somewhat helpless expression: "I was just chatting, and Geralt came to see me for something, so I asked them to go and deal with it first."
"Enid, is there anything you want to discuss with me?"
Enid is Francesca's nickname, and only her closest people call her that. However, even after three years, Wayne and the elven sorceress have cooperated very well and know each other's many secrets, but they are still more than friends but less than lovers.
Francesca smiled brightly, looked into Wayne's eyes and said, "Wayne, haven't you always wanted to contact the cat-faction demon hunters in the south?"
"I have already established contact with the Cat Faction Demon Hunters through my channels in the south."
"After hearing about the Demon Hunter Order, they have promised to send several Demon Hunters from the Cat Cult, including their only remaining Grand Master."
"I was originally planning to let them come directly through the portal, but they didn't agree. They planned to observe the environment in the north with their own eyes first, and then consider cooperating with the Demon Hunter Cult."
Wayne was very happy to hear the news from Francesca.
The Witcher Order now has three colleges. If the Cat School that has always lived in the south is willing to join, plus the Bear School in Skellige and the Winged Lion School far away in the Kingdom of Zerekan, then their order will be able to have a total of six schools, which means that all the witcher factions in the entire wizarding world have been collected.
"Thank you for your hard work, Enid. I'm glad to hear that."
Francesca also smiled happily when she heard this. Now the cooperation between Kaermohen and the elves has become quite close.
Not only have some of the elven craftsmen who previously lived in the Valley of Flowers moved to Kaer Morhen, but they have also built a number of different types of workshops here.
Even some elven children joined the Demon Hunter School and Warlock College founded by Wayne and became members of the Demon Hunter Cult.
Although the Valley of Flowers is nominally the last private reserve of the elves, King Demave of Aedirn is also a greedy robber who covets the wealth of the elves.
Since he came to power, he always tried to find ways to migrate some humans to the surrounding areas of Baihua Valley, and then gradually eroded the territory of Baihua Valley by cutting down forests, building houses, and so on.
The most despicable thing is that this guy always openly stirs up various disputes, blocks the flow of materials into Baihua Valley, and even burns the forest and captures elves as goods to deplete the elves' strength.
Many of Francesca's people died at the hands of humans because of these small-scale conflicts.
The confrontation with the Kingdom of Aedirn tied down much of the power of the elves in the Valley of Flowers. Apart from the elven palace that already existed in the Valley of Flowers, they had no energy to build various social facilities of their own. They were unable to cultivate the fields and could only survive by hunting and eating berries, living like a group of savages.
"Have you received the news, Wayne? Demawi's army has crossed the border of the Kingdom of Kaedwen."
"Aida and I both believe that he wants to seize Count Karn's territory and put an end to the centuries-old dispute over the territory of Upper Aedirn."
"If the Kingdom of Kaedwen can rise again in the future, this guy probably won't return the territory of Upper Aedirn."
Wayne nodded after hearing this. Although he was not interested in Demawi and his army, since Francesca had mentioned this matter, he still pretended to be quite interested and asked:
"I've heard that he has prepared an army of over ten thousand people. Add those farmers and coolies, and it can be considered a large-scale military operation."
"And according to our Chamber of Commerce, Earl Kahn has less than three thousand soldiers in total."
"Demave arrived too suddenly. The young earl had no time to gather his army."
