Chapter 203: Recruiting Mercenary Groups
When Wayne saw Francesca again, before he could speak, the sound of the system reached Wayne's ears.
Bite! Started to settle, this action, 135 points were earned, and the current total points are 135 points.
After hearing this result, Wayne's heart settled down a little, the calculation rules of the system are still quite humane, although these elves were not saved by his own hands, but the points have not decreased.
This gave Wayne an idea that he should set up a team, or rather an organization, to rescue elves.
Although it is not bad to save hundreds of elves at once like now, and you can also mix an expert task from a sorceress, this speed is still too slow, and you know how long it will take to save an epic treasure chest.
You must know that Francesca gave him a reward, but ten crowns alone, tonight's operation, you can get 1,350 crowns, which is converted into Oren gold coins has exceeded six thousand, I have to sigh, the rich elf woman.
For some mercenaries, the price of killing an ordinary person is only about ten crowns, and they can only get a few dozen gold coins for participating in a war.
Even if Wayne were to make a profit with a middleman and double the price, there would definitely be a lot of mercenaries to take on the task.
Of course, the task of rescuing the inhuman race is still quite secretive, and it cannot be done by anyone, it must be a mercenary with professional ethics and personal principles.
Moreover, this task may be a long-term mission that lasts for ten or even twenty years, but it can also be used as an opportunity to recruit a group of trustworthy mercenaries and train them as useful helpers.
Francesca tucked away his long dark blonde hair that hung down on his face, revealing his cheeks as white as jade, and asked softly:
"Wayne, are you hurt?"
Seeing Wayne's expression and shaking his head easily, she took the initiative to reach out and use spells to help Wayne clean up the blood and broken flesh on his body, so that he could regain the freshness he had when he first met.
Sensing that the witcher seemed to be at ease and didn't seem to be making much effort, the sorceress couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that those professional soldiers hadn't let him go all out.
Thinking of this, Francesca smiled, tilted his head, and asked:
"What's going on over there in the barracks, have you routed them?"
Hearing this, Wayne lowered his head slightly, glanced at the sorceress, and looked at this almost perfect face, he couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, and under Francesca's slightly surprised gaze, he reached out and poked her face full of collagen, and then withdrew his palm and said lightly:
"I killed them all, leaving only two alive, and gave my name."
"For a long time to come, the human mercenary, Dante, will be the number one enemy of the Kingdom of Kodwin."
"Help you attract firepower, so you guys move faster, and get out of here as soon as possible with more elves."
After hearing Wayne's answer, Francesca also ignored the young witcher's very rude behavior just now, glared at Wayne lightly, and then thought about the consequences of this operation.
There is no doubt that the slaughter of an army of one hundred and fifty men will certainly attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Kodwin.
And they will most likely be involved in the escape of the inhuman race in Faportt City and this matter, but if there is Dante as a target to attract firepower, it will indeed attract more attention from the nobles of the kingdom.
Although this rebellion was a little fierce, compared to the long-term oppression of the elves, there was no resistance, which fueled the arrogance of the enemy.
Francesca thought about a lot of things in an instant, and after discussing the current situation in the Kingdom of Kodwin with Wayne, she directly paid Wayne a large bag of gold coins, which contained a total of 1,500 crowns, which was more than the 135 points calculated by the system.
Facing Wayne's somewhat surprised gaze, Francesca smiled softly and said:
"In total, more than 130 elves were saved in this operation, but there were also some dwarves and halflings, who also left the town together."
"Although my commission is only to rescue our compatriots, Wayne, I am not a stingy employer, and I will pay you accordingly for all the risks you take."
Wayne reached out and weighed the bag full of gold coins, fifteen hundred crowns, worth at least seven thousand Oron, enough money for him to hire a mercenary group of hundreds to work for him.
Although Wayne knew very well that this was the elven sorceress's intention to woo him, he did feel the wealth and sincerity of the rich woman.
Perhaps, the tens of thousands of gold coins spent on Azeroth last year will not be long before they can be earned back from the hands of this rich woman.
After separating from Francesca, the sorceress teleported Wayne back to Vigema City with a portal, which I have to say is a very practical spell.
Unfortunately, Wayne's time to learn magic was too short, and although it took less than a year to learn, his knowledge barely reached the standard of a warlock apprentice in the academy.
However, his knowledge accumulation is still too small, and it will take quite a long time to use a high-end spell like a portal.
Even Yennefer, a genius sorceress like Triss, took twenty or thirty years to reach their current level, and the difficulty of learning spells is much more difficult than the modern college entrance examination.
After returning to Vigema City, Wayne did whatever he wanted, and immediately began to ask acquaintances about the mercenaries.
It's a pity that among the people he knew, the sorceresses couldn't get in touch with these low-end characters, and for them, these rough people who licked blood from the knife edge and relied on force to kill their lives were not worthy of their attention at all.
O'Henry, the master blacksmith of the dwarves, introduced him to several dwarven mercenary squads, all of whom were good helpers in fights, but for Wayne, his first choice was the human mercenary group, because only humans could be unhindered in the kingdom of Kodwin and would not be suspected by others.
Moreover, compared to the honest dwarves, the human mercenary is more sleek and flexible, his purpose is to rescue more elves, and he does not have to use robbery or other violent means, as long as he can achieve this goal, even if it is bought as a slave and a commodity, the process does not matter.
It's a pity that such talents are quite rare, and neither the wealthy businessman Levardon nor Virgma's landlord Old York have too good recommendations.
It wasn't until Wayne remembered someone he had once had a little friendship with that things found a new way out.
This person is the dwarven mercenary Yarpan who was let go by him when he was crusading against the Green Dragon in Holobol City.
As a mercenary who has been in the northern countries for decades, as an insider, he has far more information than the acquaintances who stay in Vigema City.
After exchanging letters between the two, the dwarf immediately gave him several quite suitable targets, most of which were human mercenary groups with a fairly good reputation in mercenary circles.
After researching the mercenary groups, looking at their past records and what some employers had to say about them, he finally settled on a target.
And the leader of this mercenary group is still a fairly famous person who appeared in the original book.
Little Beautiful Kitten, Julia Abatemark.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Wayne's inferior nature, compared to a man who is ambitious and prone to all kinds of rebellions, he prefers to believe in emotional, relatively light women with rights and desires.
And because in this era, women have a low status and are less likely to succeed, they cherish the opportunity to succeed more, and Wayne is also more willing to give those capable women a chance to prove themselves.
With Wayne's sincere letter delivered, about a week later, Julia the Little Cat and two of her team members arrived in Vigema City from the kingdom of Redalia, which borders Temeria.
While Wayne was struggling to find a suitable mercenary group, his cooperation with Francesca did not stop, and during this period, he went out twice, saved more than 200 members of the inhuman race, gained 200 points, and completed two expert-level tasks by the way.
Wayne even took the initiative to kill a notorious Earl of Covind among the inhuman race, directly at a dinner party held by this earl, from his gate all the way into his banquet hall, and after killing dozens of guards, he took his head in public.
The impact of this operation far exceeded the previous rescue operations, and the human mercenary Dante became a super wanted criminal in the kingdom of Koldwin directly overnight, with a bounty of up to 2,000 ducats.
And because everyone had seen the powerful magic used by Dante, King Hensett of Codwin put direct pressure on the Warlock Brotherhood to send a Warlock to deal with the evil wanted criminal, who was also capable of casting spells.
But at the same time, in the face of the threat of death, those nobles who spared their lives also slowed down the pace of oppression of the inhuman race, giving Francesca and others more time.
That afternoon, a special visitor came to Wayne's mansion.
Francesca, who was wearing a gorgeous dress with white and gold edges, sat at Wayne's dining table, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she held a bitten strawberry cake in her hand, showing a cute look of enjoyment, and said with a smile:
"Your pastry is delicious, Wayne, even thousands of years ago, those royal chefs with thousands of years of culinary experience made no more cakes than this one in my hands."
"I didn't expect that you could have such skills at the age of less than twenty, which really impressed me."
Wayne took a sip of the elven honey that the sorceress had given as a gift, and listened to her pleasant compliments and compliments, nodded lightly, and said without modesty:
"I won't deny that."
"Anyone who tastes my cooking will say something similar to you, ma'am."
Francesca covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, and then took out a dozen books from her small pocket, put them on the table, pushed them in front of Wayne, and said:
"Wayne, I learned from Tishaya at the Eretusa Academy that you're gathering this lost knowledge about the witchers."
"These are some of the books I've collected in the past on witcher studies, I've brought them all, you can take a look and see if there's anything you haven't read."
Wayne raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the elf sorceress to have such a wide range of news channels, and he could still find out what he had done last year, obviously, after seeing his strength, this most beautiful sorceress must have spent a lot of effort to investigate him.
Of course, Wayne would not refuse these gifts, he flipped through them at random, and found that they were all quite valuable knowledge, most of which he had not collected, and he was too lazy to be polite, and he didn't even pick them, all of them were packed into his space bracelet.
In the face of his actions, the elven sorceress was not angry at all, and said softly:
"In fact, during this time, I also spent some effort to study the genetic mutation of demon hunters, and I have to say that the human warlock Azul is really a genius with outstanding talent, and he can even think of imitating the genetic structure of monsters to create a group of powerful warriors."
"If you want help with this, I'll keep an eye out for you."
"But to be honest, Wayne, I'm curious, after my deduction, according to Azoor's original design, even if the most successful witcher is created, his strength should not be as good as you are now."
"How did you grow to where you are now in a few years?"
Facing Francesca's inquiring gaze, Wayne just stared at the sorceress very calmly for more than ten seconds, and then said:
"Ms. Francesca, you should know very well that there are geniuses in this world, and there are people born with extremely powerful talents, and I am such a person."
As he spoke, Wayne urged the already quite powerful chaotic magic in his body, and a wave of magic power emanated from his body, after several years of accumulation, the addition of various talents and skills has made his magic power surpass that of most ordinary warlocks in the wizarding world, and it is almost close to the elite warlock class.
Although it couldn't be compared to the thousand-year-old elf sorceress in front of her, as a half-elf who was only less than twenty years old, this was enough to surprise Francesca.
The elven beauty's eyes flashed, as if she had seen some treasure, she looked at Wayne seriously, then shook her head, sighed and said:
"It's a pity, Wayne, if only I had met you earlier, with your talent, as long as you are given a hundred years, maybe you can become the second most powerful warlock of the elven clan besides the elven sage."
"Of course, it's not too late, if you want, I can teach you all my magic knowledge, and as for the transformation of the demon hunters on your body, I will also ask the sages of the elf clan to help, with their knowledge, as long as there is enough time, they will definitely be able to reverse restore them."
However, for Francesca's proposal, Wayne didn't have any intention of being moved, he just looked at Francesca quietly, and then took out a demon-blocking gold shackle from his spatial bracelet and put it in front of the sorceress.
Seeing that the sorceress retracted her palm as if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake, he said with a slight teasing tone:
"The flaws of being a warlock are too serious, ma'am, and I think I'd better continue to be a witcher."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on Wayne's door, and a rather loud female voice shouted at the door:
"I'm Little Pretty Kitten, Julia Abatemark, the leader of the Cat's Paw Mercenary Regiment."
"Is this Mr. Wayne's home? We followed the invitation and came to visit. ”
Hearing this, Wayne put his mouth close to Francesca's ear and whispered:
"Ma'am, a group of strange guests have come to my house, if you don't mind, you can receive them with me."
"Of course, this may reveal your whereabouts, so you can also choose to go upstairs and hide, or cast a spell to hide your presence."
