Chapter 679

As Yennefer prepared to head for Kaer Morhen, Olivia was still completing a few small side quests in Novigrad . The game system worked like so . Every time she went to a new place, she would receive a lot of new quests .

Naturally, Olivia was now the de facto leader of Kaer Morhen . She was both a sorceress and a witcher . All she lacked was the trial of the gra.s.ses . Even so, as a highly technical witch with the game system behind her back, she was most likely a more efficient hunter than either one of the two .

Currently, Olivia was not alone . In addition to her source of a sister, Cirilla who would never leave her sight, she also had an elite group of knights escorting her . They may not be anything like the personal guards of Emperor of Nilfgaard and other various great kings in the Northern Kingdoms, but they were not inferior to the guards of average small kingdoms .

Money could buy you decent security . Of course, her charisma as the ”Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms” also played a part in that . Wandering knights from distant lands wanted to become the guardian knight of a flouris.h.i.+ng kingdom's princess . However, someone had already taken up this position .

Olivia's guardian knight, was of course, her sister Cirilla . Cirilla had always been great at both magic and fighting . Her talent was preeminent . Now that Olivia was personally cultivating her, she might end up even stronger than Olivia -- the hacker!

She has the double blessing of the protagonist aura and the child of fate!

Currently, this protagonist child of fate was committed to her sister . As she now had a ”sister complex” to bolster herself, she was stronger than ever . If her sister ever got into trouble, she would definitely ”blacken . ”[1] She would probably transform into a huge devil and destroy the whole world…

As Olivia was not a lone ranger like Geralt, she only had to lean back and bark orders to the left and right -- and her quests would be completed at her whim . It was a bonus if Cirilla did all the hard work . That way, she killed two birds with one stone . Cirilla would not be kept too long from her training . By default, they were already in the same party . As long as Cirilla killed the monster, Olivia's quest would register the kill .

To others, it would seem as if Olivia was completely making use of Cirilla . In actuality, Cirilla did it on her own volition . Her childhood trauma had turned her obsessed in the pursuit of enormous power . At the same time, she did not want her sister to take unnecessary risks . As her sister's guardian knight, she was duty-bound to be her sister's sword!

In the beginning, the inexperienced Cirilla still found herself in the occasional pinch . Whenever that happened, Olivia would always take her sister out of danger and bring her back to safety . Cirilla had full faith in her sister's capabilities, so she could go all out in combat…

The wise Olivia made an excellent leader . She stood back, surveying the scene and a.n.a.lyzing every detail, instead of throwing herself into danger .

Now, Olivia had an excellent reputation . When she had ama.s.sed significant wealth, she began to seek ways to improve Kaer Morhen even further . She headed to Novigrad to pitch Kaer Morhen to its ruler and people . Kaer Morhen still has more room to spare, do visit us!

No matter what era it was, talent played a major role .

To Olivia, sorceresses with potent blood energy were akin to modern production lines, while gifted commoners would be really valuable resources .

Currently, the still relative-spa.r.s.e population of Kaer Morhen took their first steps into a compulsory education system . From an early age, poor children who could not have possibly enrolled in any educational inst.i.tute and remain illiterate for the rest of their lives would be taken in . They gained all the knowledge they needed there, while Olivia gained all the loyalty they could offer in turn .

Naturally, the free city of Novigrad took in the wealthy and powerful businesswoman Olivia with open arms . A parliament ruled the city . Of course, its members were all wealthy businessmen . When the Speaker[2] saw Olivia's extravagance, he started to have dreams of roping her into the parliament . He could not help but voice some of his lamentations to her, saying that the security of the city actually rested in the hands of a few criminals, such as Wh.o.r.eson Junior[3] and The King of Beggars[4] .
