The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 101 Do you want my treasure?
Etaye'e—Long before humans first set foot on this land, a beautiful and prosperous elven city-state once stood here.

At its center is the palace of the Elf King Magroll.

However, suddenly one day, the city's residents began to die mysteriously in large numbers.

According to legend, the Elf King Magroll himself sensed his own death was approaching.

So he released a powerful spell, causing the ground to swallow up the entire city-state, protecting it from outsiders.

And this is the treasure legend of the elven city-state Etaye.

……

"Is that the elven city-state of Etaiye? Although most human cities are built on elven ruins, it's really surprising that there is an unexplored ruin in such a wilderness."

Standing on a high earthen slope, overlooking the dilapidated buildings in the distance, Professor Glogg could hardly suppress his inner excitement.

The place where the building was located was like a meteorite crater.

And that building is located at the bottom of the crater.

If you are not standing on a high place, it is easy to overlook it.

The history of Etaye is not well known. After all, the entire city-state was engulfed by powerful magic, and no one survived.

As a result, there is no official historical record of this elven city-state.

All the records related to Etaye are just fragments obtained from the records of other elven kingdoms.

Professor Grog spent twenty to thirty years integrating all the official histories of the elven kingdoms included in the University of Oxenburg that mentioned Eteye'e.

This made him make a judgment:

——The location of the ruins of the elven city-state Eteye is likely to be located northeast of Oxenfurt, in a sparsely populated wilderness.

To be honest, before coming here, Professor Grog was not 100% sure that his judgment was correct.

Because at the University of Oxford, more than half of the professors in the Department of History and the Department of Elven Culture and Archaeology do not agree with Professor Grog's efforts.

When tracing back to the source, everything should be based on official records.

If even official records do not exist, it means that there is no so-called elven city-state Etaye, nor is there any legendary treasure left by the Elven King.

As for the other half of the professor team, they also felt that what Professor Grog did was in vain.

They do believe that the elf castle Etaye is real.

But they felt that the location inferred by Professor Grog was wrong.

That place couldn't be in Redania.

Instead, it should be further north, such as near the Valley of Flowers in Aedirn.

It is even possible that Baihua Valley may be the successor of the elven city-state Etaiye.

Even his own students did not unconditionally support Professor Grog.

Therefore, along the way, Professor Glogg was in extreme anxiety every day.

He is facing unprecedented pressure.

I am even more afraid of having my hopes dashed.

Now, when the dilapidated ruins at the bottom of the basin came into view, Professor Glogg could finally put his heart at ease.

He found it.

The elven city-state of Eteye.

……

As dusk gradually enveloped the world, Lynn began to act under the nervous and expectant gaze of Professor Grog and others.

Although the time when this elven city-state sank beneath the surface is now unknown.

But out of caution, Professor Grog asked Lynn to conduct reconnaissance and exploration first.

After confirming that there is no danger, let the workers start working.

Professor Grogg didn't have the bad habit of some elites who didn't treat the lower classes as human beings. If possible, he certainly didn't want to see anyone hurt or bleeding.

Lynn had no objection to Professor Glogg's request.

After all, when he took on this commission, he had already considered all the risks in detail.

In the ruins, the greatest danger actually comes from mechanisms and traps.

But the demon hunter's enhanced senses are the natural nemesis of these mechanisms and traps.

Lynn first walked around the ruins in circles to observe.

But he did not encounter the danger he had expected.

So he started towards the ruins.

As the distance got closer, the full picture of the ruins became clearer and appeared before Lin En's eyes.

It was not a whole city, but a palace.

Or to be more precise, it should be only a part of this palace.

The stone walls, which were supposed to be white, have been left with deep damage and marks on the surface due to the passage of time.

In front of the steps, which are covered with greenery, vines and mud, there is a huge and heavy iron door.

The gate is covered with rust, and is filled with the vicissitudes and weight of history.

Lynn paused for a moment.

His witcher-enhanced senses didn't react at all.

The Wolf School badge on his neck also fell vertically, and no magical power was sensed.

Lynn put on a Quinn shield.

Then he set up an Aden trap on the ground.

When the seal is practiced to the master level, the Arden Trap not only has the effect of slowing down the enemy's speed, but also has the effect of blocking the hidden arrows shot at it.

Finally, he drank another bottle of advanced swallow potion.

If there was some mechanism that could break through the double barrier of Arden's trap and Quen's shield and still hurt him...

Then the swallow potion he drinks now will help him stop bleeding and slowly heal the wound.

The main focus is on caution.

After taking all these measures, Lynn placed his hands on the huge iron gate.

Just as I imagined, the huge iron gate was as heavy as it looked.

Even Lin En had to use all his strength to push it away.

There was no sound of any mechanism being activated, nor any hidden arrows being shot.

When the huge iron door was pushed open.

All that appeared before Lynn's eyes was a dark black and white passage.

"Well, it looks like there's no danger outside, but that's not necessarily the case inside... But let's call them over first."

Lin En found two huge rocks nearby and placed them on both sides of the huge iron gate that was pushed open.

He didn't go in hastily.

Instead, he first sent a signal to Professor Glogg, who was waiting anxiously in a safe area far away.

After seeing the signal sent by Lynn, Professor Glogg, his students, and workers carrying various excavation tools all trotted over.

Everyone was amazed to see that even though the building had been weathered, it still looked magnificent.

As for the dark passage behind the huge iron gate, it showed an expression of shock and fear of the unknown.
