The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 110 I'm so stupid, really...

Triss came out from her hiding place.

"Lynn, how are you, are you okay?"

"I didn't. That's fine, thank you."

Triss looked at the witcher with concern several times before finally confirming that he was indeed not injured.

"Prince Adrien's men not only came to claim his share of the treasure, he actually wanted to kill everyone."

"Fortunately, Professor Glogg anticipated all this and kept us here... Wait, why do I feel like you're not surprised at all?"

Lynn smiled and said, "No, I actually think it's weird."

Triss looked at her suspiciously: "But you were obviously laughing, and you never stopped."

"Triss, we witchers have received professional training. No matter how funny something is, we won't laugh unless we can't help it."

Lin En raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is indeed within my expectations."

The sorceress asked in confusion, "But how do you know?"

A charming smile appeared on the demon hunter's handsome face.

"Isn't this simple? Not to mention I have a play in my hand... ahem, let me tell you this, Triss, there are many people who can share adversity, but there are very few who can share happiness."

"If Professor Grogg doesn't find anything this time, then everything will be fine. At worst, Prince Adrien can withdraw his sponsorship and ask the professor to return some of the sponsorship fee."

"But if, like now, we discover a relic and find the treasure left by the Elf King inside the relic, do you think Prince Adrien will just take his share and be done with it?"

"I assure you, my noble lady, even if we save Professor Grogg this time, this matter is not over yet. Prince Adrien will not let it go."

Triss couldn't help but frown.

After hearing what the witcher said, the sorceress also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Then he can only hide in Niubao University?"

Lin En shook his head. “I’m afraid it would be useless even if he hid in Niubao University all day.”

Academics have no borders, but scholars do have borders.

Although the University of Newcastle claims to be a neutral academic institution, those in power clearly do not think so.

During the Third Northern War, the University of Oxford was forced to close.

Many faculty members and students from various departments were forcibly conscripted to join the Redanian army.

University buildings were also "protected" by the army.

As for the books in the college's library and research laboratories, they were auctioned off to pay for military expenses.

The sacred temple of culture and truth, the cradle of science, art and free thinking, the diamond of the North... No matter how many resounding titles it has, it must bow its proud head before the king's army.

Of course, as the last descendant of a declining dynasty, Prince Adrien does not have such great power.

But it is still possible to send a few assassins to infiltrate Oxburgh University and assassinate a professor who studies elven history and culture.

Besides, it is impossible for Lin En to protect him 24 hours a day.

What's more, even if he didn't send an assassin, Prince Adrien still had many ways to kill Professor Grog.

It is impossible for a person to be without relatives and friends.

Prince Adrien could use them to threaten Professor Glogg.

And this is the wrath of the superior.

Even though Prince Adrien was only a weak superior, he was still not someone that a commoner like Professor Grog could offend.

Unfortunately, Professor Glogg had no good way to deal with Prince Adrien.

It seemed as if he had no alternative but to die.

"You knew this a long time ago? You wanted to help him? That's why you accepted this commission? But what are you going to do next?" Although they had not been in contact for a long time, Triss had a general understanding of Lin En's character.

Know that the other party will not do anything without confidence.

The witcher answered the sorceress's question nonchalantly.

"In my home world, there is a widely circulated saying:"

“If you can’t solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem.”

Triss's eyes widened when she heard this: "You actually plan to kill a noble?"

In this era, the nobility is the sky.

Although the power of the nobility did not come from heaven or gods, it was inherited from ancient traditions.

Even if this tradition is stupid and corrupt, it is still tradition.

Only those with the blood of a king can become king, and only those with the blood of a noble can become a noble.

Even if it was a newly-crowned noble who was ennobled based on his outstanding military achievements, he would still have to find a few knowledgeable experts to hide in a dark and narrow room and rack their brains to describe a non-existent aristocratic bloodline for this gentleman.

In the minds of ordinary people, the option of "killing nobles" does not exist at all.

However, Lynn smiled nonchalantly.

"In my eyes, there is no difference between princes and common people. As long as they are my enemies, they must die."

He certainly knew the serious consequences of killing a noble.

So the question is, why did he let others know that he was the one who killed Prince Adrien?
With the outdated criminal investigation methods of this era, it is very easy to keep it from being known.

"Triss, I need you to do me a favor... Don't be so quick to refuse. I'm not asking you to help me kill the nobles, but I want you to buy something for me."

"That's all? Fine, leave it to me."

Triss listened carefully and found that the help offered by the witcher was incredibly simple.

He agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, the two walked towards Grog together.

Professor Glogg's face had turned pale as soon as Lynn started killing people.

When Lin En had killed everyone, leaving no one alive...

Professor Glogg could no longer bear it.

He bent down and vomited all over the place.

It was not until the witcher and the sorceress came over that Professor Grogg felt a little better after he had vomited so much that he could no longer vomit.

Although I had long heard bad rumors about Prince Adrien, and I was mentally prepared for the possibility of being backstabbed...

But Professor Grog never thought that the other party would be so cruel.

"That bastard Adrien! I thought he would just take all the treasures, but I didn't expect he would want to kill me too!"

"I'm so stupid, really, I fell for his trick so easily!"

Scholars are scholars.

Even if it is a curse, it has no killing power at all and does not hurt at all.

The two waited for Professor Grogg to finish venting before Lynn stepped forward and spoke.

"Professor Glogg, you are a scholar, not a noble. It's normal that you don't understand the intrigues and schemes among the nobles."

　Thanks to the idler for the reward!
