Chapter 105 Rich woman, hungry, hungry
"A magically protected gate?" Professor Glogg asked in surprise. "Master Lin En, even you can't do anything about it?"

Lynn spread his hands helplessly.

"I'm just a demon hunter. Clearing out the monsters and traps in the ruins is no problem, but magic isn't a demon hunter's strong point."

Professor Glogg scratched his head. "But I heard that witchers are very good at removing curses, aren't they?"

"Removing a spell from someone else is different from removing the spell protecting the gate. I know it may not seem that different to an outsider, but the reality is different."

Even though Lin En had already explained, Professor Glogg still asked unwillingly, "Is there really no way out?"

A magically protected door, even a fool would know that there must be good things inside.

If it is reported to Niubao University, Niubao University can certainly invite a sorcerer.

But these days, the status of warlocks is not comparable to that of demon hunters.

Two hundred crowns will get you a demon hunter to help clean up the ruins.

Even with 2,000 crowns, you can't hire a sorcerer...

Especially since there might be more than two thousand crowns worth of treasure inside.

It would even be hilarious if the entire elven underground ruins became the property of the Warlock Brotherhood.

Things like this have happened in history.

After all, even the most respected professors at the University of Oxford had to obey the orders of the kings.

However, the kings need to listen to the opinions of the sorcerers when making choices on many matters.

The gap between the two is obvious.

If possible, Professor Glogg really didn't want to let the warlock interfere.

Seeing that the other party had a sad face and seemed helpless, Lin En had no choice but to speak slowly.

"Well, although I can't help you, I have a friend who happens to be a sorceress. Maybe she can help you."

Professor Grogg's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated and asked, "What about the cost..."

Lynn thought about the sorceress's character.

I feel that even if someone is really willing to make a wasted trip, Lin En can't really let them do so.

You have to give the other person a little sweetness to taste.

"If there is treasure in it, she must have a share."

"That's...ok."

Professor Glogg agreed with a grimace.

This is already the best result.

It is better to give away a larger share of the treasure than to have all the results seized by the Warlock Brotherhood.

After receiving a positive response from Professor Glogg, Lynn walked to a place some distance away from the camp, making sure that no one else could eavesdrop on their conversation, and then he took out a shining silver box.

This was the voice box that Triss had given him before leaving Novigrad.

After following what Triss had taught him before, he started to operate.

A surprised voice soon came from the other side of the voice box.

"Lynn?"

"It's me, Triss. Are you free to talk now?"

"Of course, I was just about to contact you. The reward I promised you last time is already prepared, and I was just about to come find you. Where are you now? Are you still in Novigrad?"

"No, I'm not in Novigrad right now, and that's not why I contacted you. However, it's nice to hear some good news."

Then, Lin En told her everything that had happened to him recently, as well as the reason for contacting her. The voice in the silver box thought for a moment and said, "I see. A magically protected gate? Well, I can come and take a look. No problem. Even if it doesn't work, it won't be much of a loss."

"So, you agree?" With Triss's help, it can be said that it is a sure thing now.

"Of course, but, Lin En, are you sure we only want to take two treasures? If you want, we can actually take a few more secretly. No one else will know anyway."

Lynn actually thought seriously about Triss's suggestion.

But he didn't think too long and refused.

"Forget it. Since I've taken their payment, I should at least be honest."

Triss continued, "What does it matter? As you said, your employer never entered the ruins with you. How would he know how much treasure is inside?"

This time the demon hunter barely hesitated and simply shook his head.

"He doesn't know, but I do know that they called me here because they trust me. If I do this, wouldn't I be betraying their trust?"

"Besides, Professor Glogg has already promised to give me a share if he finds any treasure, which is already very good."

Money is something that no one can ever have too much of.

If Lynn was just a demon hunter.

Then he might just agree to Triss's temptation.

But he wanted to be more than just a demon hunter.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing for him to take a longer-term view.

Of course, the more important point is that based on his understanding of Mengte, Triss is not that kind of person.

If this was said by Kayla or Philippa, then they might really be encouraging Lin En.

But Triss is not that kind of person.

She is one of the few decent people in the group of warlocks who are known for their rationality (at least warlocks themselves think they are very rational).

She is not a sorceress like Philippa, who would not mind setting the world on fire as long as she can achieve her goal;
She wasn't a sorceress like Francesca, who, as long as she could build an elven utopia, would sacrifice her fellow warriors and sell them to the northerners for a good price.
Nor was he like Viggo Fortes, who, in order to gain the power of the Ancient Blood, planned for decades and was willing to personally start a world war...

Triss's words just now seemed more like a joke than an instigation.

"Well, if you insist, I'll see you later."

really……

From the sorceress's tone, Lin En did not hear much disappointment, but rather a hint of recognition and appreciation.

……

Half an hour later, a portal appeared in front of the demon hunter.

Triss, still dressed in hunting clothes, walked out of the portal.

Before Lynn could speak, the sorceress came forward and gave him a sweet kiss.

After a long time, the two separated.

"Your reward."

She produced a finely crafted leather bag and thrust it into the witcher's hand.

A witcher's senses are sharp.
