Are you kidding? I picked up a holder of ancient blood for free. Even though he is a bastard, we can't even be sure who his father is, or whether it is a boy or a girl.
However, this is ancient blood. Whether it is used as a demon hunter apprentice, as a tool, or even in a crazy way, as research material, it is an extremely precious resource.
Perhaps only ignorant mortals like the royal family of Cintra would regard the blessing of this bloodline as a curse and a trouble.
Wayne could even imagine what expressions the beautiful elven warlock Francesca and the elven sage Ada would have if they knew that their witcher cult had picked up an ancient blood for free in Cintra.
And as in the original book, the Wild Hunts searched for Ciri for more than ten years and ran across countless worlds, even to the point of failure themselves. Wasn't it all just to get a pure owner of the Ancient Blood lineage?
The same was true of Viggoforts in the original novel. He was scheming, did countless research, planned countless conspiracies, and even helped Emhyr ascend to the throne. In the end, he was killed by Geralt with one sword, also for the ancient blood.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn and Master Wayne didn't even have to use any tricks, and this treasure was about to fall into his hands.
Is this also the influence of the lucky attribute? He thought about this question in his mind, but his face did not show any joy. He did not want others to see that he coveted the blood of the ancients.
"I agree to this condition, Your Majesty."
"However, I would like to ask His Majesty King Easter to help me with a small favor, or the Archdruid Mossak to help me."
King Easter, who had always been taciturn, was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know how he could help Wayne.
However, the king was generous and would repay a favor. After listening to Wayne's words, he looked at the old druid Mossak and said generously, "No problem, Wayne. You helped me rescue Pavetta and saved me from the pain of losing my loved ones. You are the eternal friend of the Cintra royal family. If you need any help, I will definitely do my best and spare no expense."
As expected, the generous Skellige men are different from ordinary hypocritical nobles and are people who value feelings.
Wayne sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but smile, saying, "It's not a big deal, Your Majesty East."
Seeing everyone looking at him, he said in a calm tone:
"You should all be aware that I have formed a new order of demon hunters in order to change the miserable lives of demon hunters and make life better for my compatriots."
"And there aren't many demon hunters left. All the major schools have died out, which really makes me sad."
"So, when I heard that there were fellow witchers of mine in the Skellige Islands, I wanted to meet them and have a chat."
"The Bear School they formed has very little communication with other schools in the inland area, and they don't know each other well. This may be a good opportunity for the brothers of the Bear School to get to know us."
"As the most prestigious figures in the Skellige Islands, I hope that His Majesty Easter and Lord Mossak can introduce us to each other."
Upon hearing this, East laughed, waved his hand, picked up a glass of liquor and drank it all, and said generously:
"That's absolutely no problem, Wayne. It's just a small matter. There's no need to make such a big deal about it."
"I will arrange this matter after this banquet is over."
"Speaking of the Bear School's witchers, I met a few of them when I was young. One of them was named Ned, who left a deep impression on me."
"He looked like a giant bear standing up, and even among the mighty Skellige warriors, few could be as strong as he was."
I didn’t expect that King Easter had some contact with the demon hunters of the Bear School. This was a pleasant surprise.
After completing another task without making a fuss, Wayne was in a very happy mood. He took out the elven wine that he brought back from the other world from his space bracelet and drank it with the people present. He won their sincere praise and it was a good end to the banquet.
After the banquet, Wayne returned to the luxurious hotel and reunited with a few companions. He then announced to Geralt and others that the mission was basically completed.
Geralt and Yennefer continued to stay in Cintra not only to prevent accidents and continue to protect the royal family of Cintra, but also to serve as practical instructors for Alex and Aragon, helping the Kingdom of Cintra to clear the surrounding monsters and conduct practical training.
White Wolf and Yennefer had no objection to this arrangement. Although Geralt felt a little bored and wanted to return to Kaer Morhen as soon as possible to continue enjoying life, he couldn't resist his girlfriend Yennefer.
This buxom, dark-haired sorceress has been secretly observing Geralt's child of destiny, Ciri, and wants to spend more time with her.
She knew from the oracle of the Lady of the Lake that this child was the offspring she had longed for, the child whose fate was intertwined with hers, so she took him very seriously.
The reason why we are so concerned about the affairs of the Kingdom of Cintra is largely due to this reason.
The little slave girl Sianna will also stay in the Kingdom of Cintra temporarily to handle matters related to the Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
Putting aside the rising kingdom of Cintra, even the Skellige Islands, the most powerful maritime country among the northern countries, is worthy of being won over by the Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
With the current development of the wizarding world, neither the northern nor southern continents have built very powerful naval fleets, and are still at the stage of relying on courage and navigation skills to steer ships. In these two aspects, the warriors of the Skellige Islands are undoubtedly the strongest.
If there is an opportunity to expand maritime trade, or even to usher in the Age of Navigation, it will be epoch-making for the Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
After arranging the work of his subordinates, Wayne quickly arrived at Aretuza College on Thanedd Island in accordance with his promise to the witch Lani.
This ancient academy is still the same as it was last time I saw it. Most of the people coming and going are young and beautiful female sorceress apprentices. The whole castle is protected by a huge barrier, and is filled with mystery and wisdom.
In the academy, Wayne met the red-haired sorceress Triss, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month. The chief sorcerer of the Witcher Cult was not lazy at all. She spent most of her time in the library every day, reading a lot of magic information. She was very diligent.
When she found out that her lover had come to the college to visit her, she was very moved. She immediately put down her studies and stayed in the room with Wayne for a whole day and night without coming out, which caused Triss's friends in the college to tease the two of them, either openly or secretly.
The current principal, Ms. Margarita, is still as enthusiastic as ever. After not seeing her for a long time, the sorceress with a perfect figure looks at the demon hunter Wayne with eyes that are like hooks, as if she wants to hook him into the bed and have a fierce battle with him if he is not paying attention.
However, because Triss was right beside him, Wayne did not behave in a dissolute manner. He acted like a chaste man and did not hook up with other women. He was quite well-behaved.
After staying in the academy for two days, he made his request to Margarita. He first spent about 200,000 orens to buy a copy of all the ordinary books that could be sold in the academy.
Then, relying on his good relationship with the headmistress, he obtained the qualification to borrow restricted magic books that were not considered core secrets from the library, and secretly copied all those books into Kael'thas' magic book.
Life in the academy was very peaceful, with basically no disturbances. Every day, apart from reading in the library, I would spend some time preparing food for Margarita and Triss.
The female headmistress was still obsessed with his food. Every time they met, besides expressing her envy for his strong body, she was more eager to eat with him.
As for this greedy headmistress, Triss didn't mind, and Wayne certainly wouldn't take the initiative to refuse her. After all, apart from being a bit of a nympho, Margarita was indeed a noble and very capable sorceress who was worthy of their association and winning over.
In this way, Wayne stayed in the academy for half a month and obtained a large amount of books and materials.
Triss had completed most of her research and had more ideas for her research on the witcher mutation experiment.
Just before they were about to leave, Francesca suddenly contacted him and informed him of an invitation.
The former principal of Aretuza Academy, Tissaia de Vris, who is called the Grand Master by many sorceresses and a high-ranking sorceress who is a member of the Supreme Council of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, wants to meet with him, apparently to discuss matters concerning the Witcher Cult.
As a good friend of Tissaia, Francesca will also accompany her.
