Therefore, Lynn's own idea is actually that he intends to make these elves his subordinates.
These elves had just narrowly escaped death, and they could not be more grateful to him.
The mainland is so big, but they actually have nowhere to go.
This era is actually quite exclusive.
Except for big cities like Novigrad, most towns and villages will not accept outsiders to settle down casually.
Even other elven settlements within Kaedwen may not be able to accommodate them.
As for these homeless people, as long as they are trained a little, their loyalty will definitely be unquestionable.
Not only loyalty, but Lynn also values their training value.
Elves, dwarves, and gnomes are all immortal species.
It is said that diligence can make up for clumsiness and practice can make you perfect.
If you only listen to a class once, but if you listen to it ten or eight times, you will make some progress.
The lifespan of elves is three times that of humans, so theoretically, when elves still ruled the continent, elves should be able to pull out a large number of standing soldiers at will.
After all, even if you follow the training methods of human militias, farming in peacetime, receiving military training during slack periods, and training for decades or hundreds of years, wouldn't that be equivalent to obtaining a large number of off-the-job soldiers who are not engaged in production?
As a result, the number of elves' standing troops was far lower than human imagination, let alone the mobilization ability to "squeeze them dry".
In the end, the elves, who had dominated the continent for nearly twenty centuries, were defeated by humans, and their survivors were forced to integrate into human society.
In addition to the well-known fact that humans can survive and defeat elves by relying on numbers, there is actually another aspect that is not well known, and that is the Varna system of elves.
This is the most typical and strictest hierarchical system. The original purpose of this hierarchical system was to ensure that each profession in the elven countries had a certain number of people.
However, as time went by, it became fixed and rigid in order to meet the needs of the rulers, and became a strict hierarchical system.
Although elves have a long lifespan, their age suitable for childbearing is very short, so that their fertility is much weaker than that of humans.
In addition, due to the Varna system, only children born as "warriors" can become warriors; children born as "serfs" are serfs.
And if a son of a serf is found to dare to practice sword practice in secret, he will be severely punished.
After humans landed on this continent, even though the elven countries had gone to war with humans, they still insisted that the laws of their ancestors were immutable.
It was not until the end of the war that some enlightened elven sages finally felt that the Varna system should be abandoned and instead implement a policy of all-people soldiers, allowing every elven civilian to take up arms to defend their homeland.
Unfortunately by that time it was too late.
Lynn Now is the time when we are short of manpower.
He handed over all his funds to Dudu. In just a few months, Dudu had already doubled these funds.
If Dudu continues to do this, it will definitely become bigger and stronger and create greater glory in the future.
But as your business grows, bad things will happen.
In the home world of Lynn, the law is sound and the security is perfect. There are still frequent news about kidnapping rich people, let alone this world.
Now Dudu is still in its infancy. After a while, someone will definitely be eyeing his business.
Syndicate and Roche can protect Dudu secretly, but Lynn feels that some exclusive private guards should also be assigned to Dudu.
And these elven civilians, he thought, were the best candidates.
The road ahead was smooth and nothing else happened.
After the group of people walked northeast for more than half a month, a rushing river rushing against the deep river bed came into view.
This is Gwenllech.
It originates from the center of the valley of the Blue Mountains. When it reaches the upper reaches, it is just a wide stream, not very deep.
But when it reaches the territory of Kingdom of Kaedwen, that is, the middle reaches, Gwenllech is now the insurmountable chasm.
And arriving at Gwenllech means that it is not far from the depths of the Blue Mountains where Kaer Morhen is.
In fact, before arriving at Gwenllech, everyone had already discovered the towering blue mountains with snow-white peaks.
Next, everyone continued to move along the Gwenllech.
Heading in the direction of the Blue Mountains, after several days of walking through valleys and forests, and climbing up semicircular hillsides, they finally saw a majestic castle backed by a steep stone wall.
"Is that Kaer Morhen?"
Berengar rubbed his eyes with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Others had similar reactions to Berengar.
The three people Letho and George from School of the Griffin are even more unbelievable.
One of them is that the school's base camp was captured by the Nilfgaard army. They have homes and cannot return, so they can only leave their homes and become homeless;
The other is that a greedy warlock used magic to trigger an avalanche in the base camp, causing School of the Griffin's castle to be buried in heavy snow and turned into ruins.
Before coming to Kaer Morhen, they had heard about the massacre in Kaer Morhen that took place many years ago. Although the besiegers did not occupy the castle for long after capturing Kaer Morhen, they abandoned the city and left.
But they also thought that what School of the Wolf was guarding was just a ruin.
Who would have thought that it would be such a magnificent fortress?
Among the group of people, only Lynn kept smiling and was not surprised.
"It seems that Yarpen and Zoltan did a good job."
Needless to say, the castle became like this must be the result of the dwarves I found at Novigrad last year.
Although dwarfs are short in stature, they are strong and powerful, stronger than humans, and more proficient in stone and civil engineering work than humans. Therefore, the efficiency of a dwarf worker is often several times that of an ordinary human worker.
There is also Vesemir, an old man who has lived from Old Order to the present, and watched Kaer Morhen build it brick by stone with his own eyes.
With his command, the dwarves' construction efficiency is naturally higher.
"Let's go in first."
Lynn pinched the horse's belly, opened the way ahead, took the lead in crossing the suspension bridge that had been replaced with new wooden boards, and entered the city.
Vesemir is feeding the horses in the stable.
"Vesemir teacher."
"Vesemir."
Lynn and Geralt spoke at the same time.
He dismounted and ran over.
"Lynn, Geralt."
The old demon hunter also smiled when he saw the two people at the front of the team.
He shook off the straw from his hands and came forward.
The three of them exchanged brief greetings, and then Lynn noticed that there were several horses in the stable.
I couldn't help but wonder.
"Teacher, Eskel and Lambert are back?"
