Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 44 Glory Homecoming
When the battle was drawing to a close, Herme immediately ordered that the wounded should be rescued.

The Ratmen who were still alive had disappeared without a trace. At the bottom of this big pit, there were many passages extending in all directions, and they escaped through these passages.

Humans didn't dare to chase too hard, and Herme sent people to pull those reckless people back.

As for the fact that they couldn't be pulled back, it can only be said that it all depends on their luck in the future. In those tunnels extending in all directions, it is too easy for the Ratmen to kill their pursuers.

However, Hemei still sent a lot of people to search at the bottom of the pit. It would be terrible if the Ratman hid in a cave for hiding soldiers, and then suddenly came out when everyone relaxed their vigilance.

There are wounded everywhere on the battlefield, and the wailing is endless. The number of casualties in this battle is not small, and we must hurry up to rescue them, otherwise some people may die like this.

The Cliff ascetics headed by Raskit are the focus of rescue. They rushed to the forefront in this battle, which is what they deserve.

Raskitna was saved even more. This is the high priest of Cliff, and if he died, it might have a very bad impact.

The people couldn't be idle now, they were looking for the wounded in the pile of corpses, and at the same time they had to carry them and push the rat man's corpse away, it could be said that they were extremely busy.

And in that White Stone Palace, humans now occupy this place, and they are exploring this huge building.

At the beginning, humans were quite cautious about this palace, they were afraid that there might be some traps and magic inside.

So in the beginning, it was the demon hunter who led the soldiers wearing the devil's gold into it to investigate carefully.

After making sure there were no traps, others entered here, and after some sporadic fighting it was brought under control.

Herme attached great importance to this place, and the scenes he experienced made it seem to Herme that the root of everything was in this place—and his opinion was actually correct.

Here, they should be able to find the cause of this turmoil.

Then came a careful inspection of the palace, not letting go of every room, and then they discovered the huge wealth in the main tomb.

The news reached everyone like a whirlwind, and everyone was very excited.

Because everyone thought that the rat wrestler could not get anything, but now they found that a piece of wealth was in front of them, and everyone had money to share, which was good news for everyone.

After confirming that there was no trap, Herme and the others walked in immediately.

Here, everyone's focus is different, such as Herme and Volod, the focus is on those gold and silver jewels.

As for Katya, their eyes were all on the exquisite murals.

Katya and her war gang were the last to join the battle, as the last troops to cover up the kill, but this young lady obviously had no interest in chasing down the rout.

So when her subordinates were still searching for the Ratman, she came to the White Stone Palace.

Looking at the coins, Herme grabbed a handful of gold coins on the ground, and then let go of his hand, allowing the gold coins to fall from his fingers and make a sound when they landed in the pile of coins.

The sound undoubtedly proves that these coins are genuine, and there are more attractive things in the gold and silver, such as various gems and ornaments, which are priceless at a glance.

But after reading these, Herme looked around, wanting to get more information, but unfortunately he really didn't understand these things.

Then he walked to the coffin in the center and saw that there was nothing in the coffin and it had been moved clean.

Why did they just take the skeleton in the tomb and leave everything else here?

This is the biggest question in Herme's heart at present. What they took away should not be worthless bones.

The wealth is still here, and it seems that it has not moved at all.

Since entering Ward, everything he saw told Herme that the bones that were taken away were probably the root cause of all this.

But still the question, why?Why take that corpse away?

Herme felt that the bone that was taken away was very important, and there might be other conspiracy behind it.

Those Lilit believers who participated in this matter, he still hasn't found out what these guys are up to, and he hasn't even met them.

Hemei recalled what his subordinates found in other rooms. There, they found some burnt documents, but fortunately, those people burned them in a hurry, and many documents were not burned.

It's just that they can't understand the text on it, and they have to find someone to interpret it after returning to Fort Sazar.

The murals and wealth in the tomb all illustrate the extraordinaryness of the owner of the tomb, most likely a war chief of Hackland hundreds of years ago.

But it's a pity that there are too few clues, and he can't guess what's going on.

Collect as many things as possible and take them away, combine those gold and silver jewels, and find someone to see what's going on after returning to Fort Sazar.

But at this moment, Katya walked up to Herme, her brows were tightly furrowed, obviously she found something troublesome,

"Herme, I know whose tomb this is."

Her first words cheered Herme up.

"This is the cemetery of 'Niya's Whip'. Those murals tell the story of her battle. My nanny told me these stories since I was a child, so I recognized it."

Niya's Whip?Hemei remembered the name. Isn't this the Khan who ruled the Hakland Grassland a hundred years ago?This is actually his graveyard?
This answer was completely unexpected to Herme. He never imagined that the khan's tomb was actually in the land of the Cossacks.

But considering that the Cossacks hadn't migrated here when he died, it's not surprising that there is his cemetery here.

And these huge amounts of wealth also make sense. It is not surprising that such a khan's cemetery has so much money.

And after knowing whose cemetery this person was, Herme had a rough guess about the purpose of those Lilit believers.

If they dig up the body of this Khan who has such a huge influence in Haklan Grassland and Lilit believers, they probably want to...

Katya seemed to be going in the same direction as Hemi, so her brows were also tightened, and then Hemei patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't think so much now, we can't control it at the moment, anyway, let's enjoy the victory now."

Katya was taken aback by Herme's words, and then she nodded, yes, it's useless to worry here, it's better to enjoy the victory now, that's the most important thing, don't worry yourself.

Others didn't think as much as they did. Their eyes were more on wealth, and most of them were admiring those murals.

More people celebrated the discovery of so many spoils, immersed in the joy of gaining wealth.

This is indeed worthy of celebration, but they have solved a major event that may affect the safety of human beings on this land in the future.

Seeing this, Herme temporarily let go of her doubts. No matter what, the most important thing now is to enjoy the victory.

He left the White Stone Palace and saw people cleaning up the corpses in the pit.

The method is still the same as before, dig a big hole, then light a fire, and use the flame to purify everything.

Dandelion was talking to Geralt, who was exhausted and slumped on the ground. The poet's face was full of excitement, and he didn't feel disgusted because he was on the battlefield.

Master Dan did not participate in the battle this time, and it was thanks to his good friend Geralt. For the safety of his good friend, the wolf-sentence demon hunter took the initiative to find Herme and begged him not to let Dan Dereen is in the fight.

When Herme knew that Master Dan was fighting under his command when Cheveny fought, he immediately gave the poet the privilege not to participate in the battle.

On the one hand, Geralt must give face, on the other hand, the battlefield is indeed too dangerous, not suitable for someone like Master Dan.

Herme still liked the master of poetry, and it would be too bad if he lost his life on the battlefield.

So Master Dan went to the best viewing position to watch the battle, and he was able to watch the whole process of the battle completely.

And seeing this made him so excited, everything in front of him was like the battles with monsters in the ancient human legends, and his inspirations continued to emerge.

Then after the battle, regardless of the battlefield that was still at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he interviewed everywhere last time, asked around, and even climbed up the giant beast that fell to the ground, which was extremely courageous.

"Geralt, ha, I will definitely produce a good set of works this time, and that will become my new pinnacle. Sure enough, only after experiencing some things personally can these things become the source of creation. I will definitely If you make more money, your reputation will definitely be better at that time, and more people will come to you. Thank you, demon hunter, you are the greatest luck to have me as a good friend. Me, you are not so unknown."

"Okay, ummmm."

Geralt didn't want to say a word, all he wanted to do now was lie down after so many heart-pounding battles.

The other three witchers beside him were similar, and George still maintained his dignity, sitting there upright like a knight, but everyone else could see that he was tired.

And our Master Dan is still chattering, showing off his inspiration. At other times, Geralt would have started to be eccentric, but now he doesn't even want to talk.

Hemei watched the scene for a while, and he felt that it was still very interesting, and it was still very fun to see Master Dan's brute.

But then, a guard walked up to Herme and told him a piece of news.

Hearing the news, the expression on Herme's face changed, it was an expression of surprise, and then he went to see Rastite.

This fanatical follower of God Cliff was hit hard by the giant war beast before, and he didn't wake up until now, and the news of his waking up was conveyed to Herme immediately.

To everyone's surprise, he was blown away by that monster, but in fact nothing happened.

But this is also expected by everyone. After all, Rastite is the high priest of Cliff, and it is normal to have some power to protect himself.

Herme specially met with him, and wanted to know from him whether God Cliff was satisfied with everything he had done.

And that answer disappointed Herme.

"The Great God is very happy that the monster was killed. Such a monster can threaten the world. However, the real evil has not been wiped out, it is still active, and this time they have achieved their purpose."

That is to say, the problem is still not resolved. Sure enough, those Lilit believers who ran away are the key to the problem.

In connection with the identity of the owner of the tomb, Niyazhibian, well, the threat is indeed still great.

"However, the Great God is very generous. You still have a lot of time to deal with this issue, so Herme, keep working hard. The evil will come to this land again sooner or later. At that time, it is time for you to manifest the will of the Great God."

These words made Herme feel like she didn't listen to what she had heard, and it was still the way of nagging and not pointing out the specific problem.

But that's what the gods are all about. It would be a miracle for them to understand what they said one day, so Herme didn't care.

Putting these matters of the gods aside, Herme still had to deal with secular affairs, which were obviously more important.

The first is to divide the spoils. No one expected to get so much wealth from the White Stone Palace this time, but the money is still good.

Hemei knew very well that even if it was a father-son relationship, financial entanglements would easily lead to enemies. He wanted to avoid the possibility of problems in this area from the very beginning.

Regarding the distribution of the spoils, considering Volod's huge loss this time, Herme decided to hand over [-]/[-] of the spoils to him.

The remaining one-third is divided between Herme and various reinforcements.

Although it is only one-third, this wealth is still quite huge.

So everyone, from the leader to the soldiers, is still very satisfied, and no one has any opinions.

In addition, Herme took out a pair of exquisite amethyst earrings from her trophies. The earrings are very exquisitely crafted, and they can be seen as masterpieces at a glance.

After confirming that there was no magic or any other messy curses attached to this thing, Herme gave it to Katya.

Katya was expressionless when she accepted the gift, but in the end, Herme still saw joy in her eyes.

The next day, Katya put the pair of earrings on her ears. The amethyst made her even more mysterious, and Herme liked it very much.

And Katya's attitude is obviously a lot softer, not as rigid as usual, but she can still feel that she has not let go of something.

After dividing the spoils, everyone started to leave this place. After fighting for so long, it was time to go back.

When they left the deep pit, behind them was a cloud of smoke, which was produced by the burned corpses of the Ratmen and the giant war beast. It was enough to see how many Ratmen died.

As for the war beast, it has been burned for several days, and it is still burning now.

Volod left 300 men here to guard the palace and prevent it from being overrun by the ratmen again.

This used to be the old lair of the Ratmen. God knows if the Ratmen have left anything here for them to use, so we must prevent these guys from making a comeback.

Volod wants to ask the demon hunters to stay here to guide the rat extermination work, because there are still a lot of ratmen who escaped, and the rat catcher still ran away.

Predictably, the ratman problem will remain a big problem in Ward's immediate vicinity.

It's just that the demon hunter rejected his invitation with a lot of money. After struggling for so long, the four demon hunters no longer wanted to continue to struggle.

Even the warm-hearted George said that he would take a break, but he also said that he would always pay attention to Ward's situation, and if necessary, he would come right away.

The remuneration received by the demon hunters was indeed enough to allow them to rest for a while, because they not only received commissions from Volod, but also received a share of the spoils.

Both Herme and Volod were very generous in this regard, and the demon hunters were great contributors, so what was given to the heroes would naturally be given.

So the witchers got a huge amount of coins that they had never imagined.

This money, together with their previous savings, is completely enough for them to make the master suit, and then spend the year comfortably.

However, the demon hunters also said that after returning to the north, they would introduce demon hunters or colleagues they knew well to come here to hunt demons.

Hackland is a promising market, and it won't fail to attract people. Now the number of monsters active in the north is decreasing, and they need this new market very much for their business.

In addition, when he left, Herme removed several tombstones and stone figures from here, just as he had thought before.

He intends to use this thing to see if he can attract some scholars who pay attention to Hackland.

If there is such a scholar, it will be more convenient for him to understand this land.

Herme and others first returned to Cheveny, and the local residents welcomed the returning victorious team. They were all excited and happy that the Ratmen had been defeated, because there was no one in Chevenny who had the same chance as the Ratmen. Hatred.

Demon hunters received the most welcome, and they were treated like heroes, because most of the people in Cheveny were saved by demon hunters.

Later, after the town was restored, the locals built statues for the four of them, and the stories of the witcher heroes have been passed down from generation to generation.

At this time in Cheveni, many Cossack troops from all directions gathered here, the number reached a full 2000.

This number frightened Hemei, but after asking, it turned out that the father-in-law knew that his daughter and son-in-law had entered the Rat Slayer, which frightened him a little, so he hurriedly called to send people inside.

And these Cossacks who came here in a hurry thought they were here to clean up the mess. In their eyes, Hetman's order was so urgent that something must have happened.

It's no surprise to them, for these people, the day-to-day life of young people is to screw things up and let the elders clean up.

But it turned out that Gettleman's daughter and son-in-law had returned in glory, bringing with them an amount of loot that astonished all who saw it.

Heme generously distributed gifts with the leaders who came, and shared his victory with them. This is the way of playing in the Cossack land, and Heme knows how to play it.

These leaders who hold Herme's gift will spread Herme's reputation of generosity, and building a reputation of generosity has always been what Herme is best at.

By the way, Herme wrote a letter to her father-in-law, telling him that everything was safe and that the Ratman problem had been successfully resolved.

And then, after bidding farewell to his old friend Volod and High Priest Rastite of Cliff, Herme embarked on the road back to his hometown.

Rastit was quite enthusiastic at this time, which made Herme a little unaccustomed, talking about "responsibility" and "burden" while talking about it.

There is no need to say much to Volod, and the two sides bid farewell to each other normally.

And when he was on his way home, Herme felt relieved from the bottom of his heart. Finally, these troubles were coming to an end, and he could really rest.

So he felt very relaxed along the way, and the scenery on the side of the road was even more pleasing to the eye.

.

In Sazarburg, when Herme returned, the town launched another grand welcome, because not only most of the people who went to the expedition came back, but also brought a lot of spoils.

Herme also came home with a huge mouse head, which was cut off from the mother mouse. The mother mouse had three heads, one from Herme, one from Volod, and the last one was given to her father-in-law. .

Although the rat's head was a little blackened by Geralt's bomb, Herme didn't plan to make a specimen. All he wanted was the skull, so this problem was easily solved.

Herme showed this trophy. The big head was enough to explain the existence of the Ratman, indicating that it was not a fabricated story from afar.

Naturally, his wave of demonstrations had a very good effect.

The soldiers who went out returned with glory, and their pockets were full of trophies, which was a sight that everyone liked.

The merchants and travelers lamented that Hemei had won the battle again, and he really deserved the reputation of being a good fighter.

It is said that he still has the protection of God Cliff, so it is normal to think that such a victory will come.

Herme also has an extra nickname, "Rat Exterminator", but he doesn't like this nickname very much, because he knows that there is a person with such a nickname in another world because of a series of historical changes. The rodent exterminator on the screen, a funny figure in a Chinese robe chasing mice.

So he didn't add the nickname to his official title.

After the celebratory banquet of the Earl of Sazarburg, the joy continued.

Herme carried out a knight canonization, which was the first time he had done such a thing since he became the ruler of Fort Sazar.

Jerry naturally obtained the knight status he had longed for, and there were 30 other knights in the same batch as him, all of whom were meritorious and military officers, and there were also Herme's guards.

However, Hemei couldn't give them fiefdoms, or the fiefdoms were given in name, but due to the particularity of the Cossack land, they could get money from the "enfeoffed" villages, but they had no right to manage them.

There is no way, after all, the Cossacks are so rebellious, and it is not good for the knights to manage them directly.

There were no villages formed by northern immigrants in the area, so Herme naturally couldn't send them to such a village.

In this mode, in fact, these knights are still professional soldiers supported by Fort Sazar.

But everyone has nothing to complain about. They are a group of commoners. It is not bad to be a knight, and isn't there a fief in name?
Herme's attitude towards this was that although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was still quite happy in his heart.

This is the scene he wants to see. It is easier to control these knights to get paid than to let them go directly to the land.

Anyway, Sazaburg has no need to strengthen grassroots governance. The foundation of Hemei's operation is to be a second-hand dealer to play harvest. Everything is based on making money from business, and the demand for other aspects is really not that high.

His request for the Cossack village is very simple, as long as he can provide manpower and supplies.

It wasn't that Herme didn't like strengthening the control over the territory, but that he understood a truth in governance.

In the productivity environment of this era, some things cannot be demanded immediately, especially in a sparsely populated place like the Cossack Land, forcibly doing that will lead to loss of money and disgust from the locals. Time will make some things It was a matter of course.

To put it bluntly, it is better to do nothing than to strengthen the grassroots rule. Right now, relying on the trade profits of Fort Sazar, Herme is enough to mobilize resources in the territory, and while mobilizing resources, he can subtly achieve his own goals. So why do you want to do something that loses money?
After the grand canonization ceremony, there was another wave of banquets, not only in the main castle, but also in Sazarburg. All the taverns in Sazarburg were filled with the sound of banquets.

As for Herme, he went to bed, and slept soundly every day.

For almost half a year, his ass was in the saddle, and then he fought and fought fiercely, and then he continued to brainstorm for the battle situation.

To be honest, his butt felt numb, and now he could finally enjoy the big bed in the castle.

After sleeping, Herme started to deal with various things in Fort Sazar. During this period of time, there have never been many things accumulated.

Fortunately, there are no major problems. They are just some daily affairs, which can be dealt with slowly. Dunwa has already solved most of the trivial matters.

Moreover, his return in victory this time has actually solved most of these problems.

Because it's basically a business and partnership thing, and there's nothing more convincing than winning.

There is also no major incident in Aden, and the kingdom is still steadily expanding its army.

That's when the Scoia'tael was on the rise again, and there were reports of increased Scoia'tael attacks in Ardirn.

Really, it's only been a few months. It seems that the racial issue in the north has been completely detonated. The contradictions that have accumulated for hundreds of years are unlikely to be resolved after one or two suppressions.

Herme was a little thankful that he was active in Hackland, otherwise he would definitely be the key target of the Scoia'tael, and he would not be able to survive at that time.

But the Scoia'tael matter has nothing to do with Herme now, he just needs to do his own thing in Fort Sazar well.

The king sent a letter some time ago, requesting Hemei to further develop the Hackland market, so that the kingdom's goods can be imported more conveniently.

And this requirement is easy to meet. After all, there is already a shipbuilding workshop. With ships, it is natural to export more and faster goods to the east of the Zar River.

Then Herme mainly talked with Dirban and Dorigale, discussing the information he brought out from the White Stone Palace-Dorrigale has not left Sazar Castle yet, he is still writing his book, so was also pulled.

The two warlocks studied the documents carefully and found that they were all in Serikania, so Heme summoned Ibn again and asked the three of them to translate these things together.

Through their translation and additions, Herme was able to know how the Ratman got here, which made him heave a sigh of relief. According to the above information, the problem of the Ratman would not be too big in the future.

Only the modified rat man can make a female mouse. The other rat men are still beasts at heart, and it is impossible to make that kind of thing.

So from now on, it’s just a matter of suppressing normal monsters. At most, some more people will be dispatched to help the demon hunter. Don’t worry too much about this.

It's a pity that there is only information about the rat people here, and there is still no word about the current situation of those Lilit believers.

What Herme could do was to send some people to the south to inquire about the news and understand what was going on there.

However, when Herme kept busy, there was one person who was very unhappy, and that was Katya.

After receiving Herme's gift, she originally thought that Herme would date her after returning to Fort Sazar, and she also planned to take this opportunity to go further with Herme and draw in their relationship.

As a result, Herme either went to sleep, or went to work, and had a detailed discussion with the warlock. She felt that all the feelings she had brewed were wasted.

So the unhappy eldest lady ran out of the city to ride a horse again to pass the time. Katya mainly hunted monsters outside the city.

The demon hunters all planned to recuperate for a while, so she was the one to deal with such matters.

And when she saw Hermi, she would walk away quickly, making Hermi confused, not knowing how she had provoked this young lady.

.

Now, the Golden Spoon Tavern is the liveliest place in the whole town, not only because it is the best tavern in the whole town, but also because Master Dandelion has released his new work, the long narrative poem "The Rat, the Wolf and the Poet", which is published daily will perform here.

As always, apart from Dandelion's boastful parts, this long poem is very authentic, artistic, and narrative, and it is very true to his reputation as a master.

However, the self-proclaimed part is only a problem of authenticity, and there are no problems in other aspects.

This long poem also combines the characteristics of the Cossack warrior's song. Dandelion never relaxed when he was hanging out in Saza Castle. He has been learning the local warrior's song and trying to combine it with his own poetry.

The result of the combination is very good, and many Cossacks have become fans of Dandelion.

It can be expected that there will be one more classic work by Dandelion, and this work will surely become a milestone in his creative history.

His work gained support from Earl Herme, who organized the printing of Dandelion's long poem.

This is not difficult, the printing workshop and publishing house in Sazarburg was recently established, and it was established at the expense of Herme.

As for why he invested in the establishment of a printing workshop and a publishing house, Herme had always had an idea about writing a book, but he didn't have the time to practice it.

However, the establishment of these two companies was still written in the memorandum by him. When Dunwa saw this order, although he couldn't figure out what was going on, the dwarf still carried out the order.

The dwarf is still very efficient in handling affairs. He directly used the relationship of Vivaldi Bank to get a few printing machines, and then settled the supply of paper, and then invited an editor who had worked in Novigrad, so the printing workshop and There are publishing houses.

Herme was very happy after learning about the establishment of the printing workshop and the publishing house. This was exactly what he wanted to see, and he planned to use Dandelion's long poem as the first blockbuster product of the publishing house.

Herme believed that Dandelion's works could make their publishing house famous, and by the way, expand their own reputation - Herme was also a key positive figure in this poem.

After becoming famous, it will be convenient to publish other works in the future.

As for this other work, it is of course Herme's.

Now it seems that he can finally relax, and Herme also starts to conceive his works in his spare time.

.

"The Lord of the Rats brooded in the Deep."

Dandelion began to sing, his fingers kept strumming the lute, and the beautiful notes kept coming out,
"His crypt is as dark as eternal night."

"Black hair, dark soul,"

"He feeds on envy and killing, and his wine glass is full of hatred."

"My heart is full of hatred for human beings, and I want to destroy this world..."

In the Golden Spoon Tavern, many people were listening to Master Dan's poems intently.

Some of them are new immigrants from the north, some are Cossacks who settled in Sazaburg, and some are merchants of trade, all of whom are fascinated by Dandelion's poems.

But here are four people who don't.

"Today, we have never thought of this. We ordered an expensive master suit, and our pockets are still full. We can spend time and wine in the largest tavern in this city. When, we demon hunters Is it possible to live like this?"

Eben drank a whole glass of wine and sighed slightly drunk.

He drank Toussaint's Easter, which was a gift from Herme to the four of them.

"Perhaps only Geralt has had such a life. He has been taken care of by a sorceress. No brother here can compare with him. Geralt, why don't you tell us the secrets here."

As always, the matter of Geralt and Yennefer was mentioned again. Although Lesso was still expressionless, there was a lot of ridicule in his words.

"That's enough, Lei Suo, don't be endless, today is a happy day, I don't want to be eccentric, this matter is repeated by you every day, I wonder if I have seen the king one day, you will say that I am with you The king calls himself a brother, and also participates in politics, becoming a prominent political figure in the North."

Geralt said to Leto in a calm tone, but the words showed that he was not at peace in his heart. Really, the more he talked about these things, the more annoying he became.

Although Leto's expression didn't change on the surface, he was still a little happy in his heart. If he mastered it well, Geralt's reaction would look very happy, and he happened to be very good at this.

"Okay, Leto, don't mention these things. Since Geralt doesn't like such things, don't bother him."

George coughed a few times. Many times, he felt like he was among a group of older children.

But this kind of feeling made him nostalgic, and reminded him of some stories from far away. At that time, he was still following his mentor, surrounded by several senior brothers. When they held up together, the atmosphere would be like this Have fun.

But until now, only I am still alive...

"After today's banquet is over, I plan to go back to the north."

George's words attracted the attention of the other three.

"You still have to wait here for the master suit to be made, and I don't need it, the blacksmith has already repaired my armor. Harkland needs a demon hunter, or some other warrior who hunts for a living , I have to go find them."

As always, George still has a sense of responsibility, and he always thinks about the safety of this land.

Those Ratmen hadn't been wiped out yet, and there were still a lot of them in Ward, not to mention the Ratcatcher.

And these guys may run around and spread everywhere, so hunters are needed to hunt them down and destroy them like before.

"George, you are so busy all the time, but you are still so noble and great. Toast to you, my friend."

Geralt raised his glass, and his tone was full of respect. Such a precious and selfless character is the most you can see in a griffin.

Every time he sees it, he always touches it.

The other witchers also raised their glasses, toasting George.

After they drank the wine, Dandelion's performance just ended, and he bowed to the audience on the stage, making an extremely exaggerated salute.

The audience cheered continuously and threw flowers and coins onto the stage.

Facing such a sight, Master Dan didn't have any uncomfortable reaction. Facing such a welcome has become a part of his habit.

Dandelion stuffed coins and flowers into his hat. He earned so much money that he needed to hold the full hat with both hands.

Then he came in front of the four witchers with that iconic smile.

"Friends! I have money tonight, and this time I will invite you!"

Seeing this, everyone smiled, and then they all picked up their glasses and drank, including Dandelion, who put his hat aside.

When everyone drank all the wine in their hands, Lei Suo continued to speak,
"I should be leaving soon. I have to deal with the relocation of the school. As for the teacher's set, it's not too late to pick it up at that time. George, what should we do along the way?"

"Of course you can, Leto."

George was a little surprised, and then immediately agreed that it was a good thing to have a companion on the road after all.

"Leave..."

Mentioning this brought a thoughtful expression to Dandelion's face.

This was naturally noticed by Geralt, "Are you planning to leave too? Go back to the north to present your new poem?"

As an old friend of Dandelion, Geralt guessed what he wanted right away.

"Well, I'm not in such a hurry. I have to perform in Sazarburg for a while before leaving. The people here are looking forward to my work. I can't let them down."

"Okay, those women who want to sleep with you can go after sleep?"

"Geralt, what do you know, I'm just entertaining those enthusiastic female audiences, why don't you go to bed, that's called friendship exchange, do you understand friendship exchange?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed, it was an extremely happy laughter.
