"In the future, this shop may branch out and establish many branches across Skyrim, following our footsteps, becoming a large trading company."
"If you are diligent enough and capable enough, you might achieve a higher status than you had in Hammerfell."
The Witcher painted a grand picture, but it indeed ignited a flame in Saadia's heart.
Now that her troubles seemed to be resolved, she no longer needed to hide her abilities and resign herself to being a lowly tavern waitress.
If she could have a powerful protector, become the manager of a shop, and even grow and expand it into the president of a trading company in the future.
This clearly aligned more with the noblewoman's aspirations for the future.
For a period of time thereafter, both Guilliman and Freya.
Both entered a relatively stable life.
Due to a lack of money, the Witcher did not continue to stay in the city but chose to go out and earn money, just like the Dragonborn.
However, his method of making money was much simpler than the Dragonborn's.
By chance, while slaughtering a giant tribe, Guilliman had a sudden idea and directly used soul contracts to control three adult giants from that tribe.
Subsequently, as he conquered more and more giant tribes, by controlling the three strongest giants, he actually managed to expand this giant force to ten giants, comprising three giant families, and the structure was quite stable.
A force of ten giants was a power not to be underestimated.
In terms of combat power alone, it was probably equivalent to an elite hundred-man unit. Moreover, with the giants' size and strength, they were practically human-shaped siege engines, human-shaped battering rams.
He arranged this group of giants in a wilderness camp, and normally led them to attack and clear out bandit camps in the wild, slaughtering them and harvesting a large amount of spoils, which was a significant profit.
This was just like a simulation game like Mount and Blade, giving him the satisfaction of building his own armed force.
He only told Freya about this information and only trusted the young girl.
The Dragonborn girl had always been very supportive of him.
She even suggested using the ancient Nord armor and weapons obtained from the tombs to smelt a set of metal armor and weapons for the giants.
If these giants were armed, their combat power would surely increase severalfold, becoming a powerful asset.
Unfortunately, this idea was good, but Guilliman still refused.
He couldn't stay in the Dragonborn world indefinitely.
When he returned to the Witcher world, these giants' soul contracts would be lifted, and he currently had no ability to open a world gate to bring this legion back.
If the giants' power was too strong, it would be somewhat dangerous and difficult to control.
He would make plans when he came to this world next time.
Taking this opportunity, Guilliman also told Freya about his intention to leave temporarily.
The Dragonborn girl was silent for a few seconds but did not show too much surprise or sadness.
"I always remembered your words and always wondered when you would leave, Guilliman."
"How long do you plan to be away this time?"
The Witcher tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said:
"Probably one to two months, but when I return, I will bring you a special gift, one you will surely like."
Freya didn't care about the gift. Instead, she stepped forward and hugged the Witcher, kissing him while saying:
"I don't need any gifts. I just hope you come back soon."
"Your companionship and trust are the best gifts for me."
"However, I've actually already made up my mind."
"After you leave, I will go to the Throat of the World, High Hrothgar, to meet the Greybeards and receive their training."
"Recently, there have been many reports of dragons resurrecting."
"This world is changing. Although I have been avoiding it, I know I should bear this responsibility."
"I don't want to wait until the future, until chaos erupts, to regret my inaction."
Guilliman reached out and touched Freya's cheek, saying with some emotion:
"You are truly a brave girl, Freya."
"Don't worry, I will be back to see you soon."
After speaking, the Witcher took out the gift he had prepared for a long time from his storage space.
A set of high-grade armor forged from dragon bones, dragon scales, and the skin of the Daedric Prince Dagon.
The weight of this armor was quite light, and its texture was not as hard as metal armor, so it would not affect the user's normal movement, but its defense was quite astonishing.
Most importantly, due to the defensive properties of dragon materials and Daedric Prince's skin, it had extremely high resistance to magic, almost immune to ordinary first-level spells, and it could probably immune about half the damage from second-level spells.
This could definitely be called a very powerful piece of equipment.
Even more fortunately, due to the ample materials, the legendary blacksmith Eorlund made two sets of equipment, naming them the Armor of the Evil Dragon.
Now, the Witcher and the Dragonborn each had a set.
It was also the highest-grade equipment they had encountered so far.
