The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 116 Good Times...Only Yesterday

Cassia straightened up immediately: "Master Lin En, just give your orders."

"Well," Lynn considered his words, "it's like this. I'm sure you know that I'm a demon hunter."

"Every winter, we have to return to the school's headquarters."

Cassia's young face showed a determined expression: "Please rest assured, Master Lin En, while Master Lin En is away, I will definitely take good care of your residence."

"No, what I mean is that you should stay at Vivaldi Bank for the time being and talk to me when I come back."

The tradition of the Wolf School is that every witcher of the Wolf School must return to Kaer Morhen for the winter and stay in that castle for the entire winter.

This is not like the previous expedition with Professor Grog and the others, which took too long.

The witcher was really worried about leaving a little child like Cassia in this empty house.

Even though the house is in the upper city and the security in the upper city is better than in the lower city, it is still hard to feel at ease if there are no adults around.

If people knew that there was only one child in this house, it would be inevitable that some bad people would have bad intentions.

After all, you can't have the intention to harm others, and you can't have the intention to guard against others.

Letting her stay in Vivaldi Bank with Weimo watching over her would make Lin En feel more at ease.

"Yes, if that's your decision..."

Cassia was sensible enough not to raise any objections.

It seemed that as long as it was Lin En's intention, she would accept any decision.

Her well-behaved appearance made the witcher couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder, then he left home and went to Vivaldi Bank.

……

Inside the VIP room of Vivaldi Bank.

Lynn and Vimo Vivaldi sat opposite each other.

After Lynn told Vimo about Cassia, the dwarf banker agreed with a smile.

"It's okay. Her child is not like other human cubs. I like her just by looking at her. Of course, it's not a problem."

"That's really helpful. Also, Mr. Weimo, I actually have another favor I need you to do me."

Wei Mo smiled and said, "Please speak."

"Well, I need some stonemasons, carpenters, and bricklayers. Those with experience in building and maintaining castles are preferred. The hiring period is one year, and they'll need to travel far away."

After hearing this, Wei Mo patted his chest and expressed his agreement without any hesitation.

"That's no problem. I happen to know some dwarven guys who meet your requirements. I'm just a little curious," Weimo scratched his cheek. "Master, what do you want these people for?"

Lynn said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Weimo, this is confidential, so it's not convenient to disclose it."

"So that's how it is, haha, it doesn't matter." Wei Mo laughed.

"Since it's inconvenient to disclose, I won't ask. However, I have a question that I must clarify first." Weimo stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together quickly. "People have to be paid for their work, especially professional craftsmen with experience in castle maintenance. Master Witcher, is your wallet okay?
"Don't worry about that, it's fine."

All the gold coins looted from Prince Adrien's secret room, added together, would be worth about 10,000 crowns.

After completing the expedition to the elven ruins of Etaiye, Lynn was given elven gold coins equivalent to eight thousand crowns.

Add to that the remuneration I received from serving Great Elder Broval, Istrade, and Triss...

Adding them all together, it has exceeded 20,000.

This is still the high-value crown. If it is converted into oren, it will be even more.

Speaking of which, his luck is really amazing.

The first year I came down the mountain, I met so many generous employers.

Although Lynn's wallet is now bulging, his mind is still clear.

He hadn't let money get to his head yet. He knew he was an exception.

Most witchers were not as lucky as him.

Most of the time they are still working for those unruly people, and sometimes they don’t even get paid even after finishing the work.

Even if there are honest farmers willing to pay, they themselves are also the targets of exploitation by the nobles. How much money can they afford to pay the witcher?
After deducting the cost of repairing the silver sword, brewing potions and making alchemical bombs, how much will be left from this reward?
This is also the reason why most demon hunters live in poverty.

In fact, the reason why Lynn needed stonemasons, carpenters and bricklayers was to repair the walls of Kaer Morhen.

He knew Vesemir couldn't let go of Kaer Morhen.

Lambert once said that Kaer Morhen was as cold as an ice giant's butt, and he really didn't understand why people were still guarding this pile of rotten rocks.

In the end, Vesemir said nothing, just grabbed his sword and left.

It took several months to come back.

Lambert didn't understand.

Perhaps others also don't understand why Vesemir is unwilling to give up Kaer Morhen like other witcher schools.

But Lynn knew.

Because Vesemir is different from them.

Vesemir, the longest-lived witcher to date, had a hat in his trunk that was popular in 1112, indicating that he lived from at least the 11th century.

Vesemir had experienced the heyday of the School of the Wolf. In his youth, Kaer Morhen was not yet so deserted.

The hall was filled with the sound of clinking glasses...

Apprentices are sweating on the training ground...

The fire in the blacksmith's shop is always lit...

The smell of potions brewing in the alchemy room just wouldn't go away...

When people get older, they always tend to reminisce about the past.

Even demon hunters are no exception.

That's why Vesemir was unwilling to give up Kaer Morhen.

That's why he insisted that the witchers of the Wolf School must return to the castle for the winter every year.

Vesemir knew that those good times were gone.

He is not stuck in the past and unable to move on.

only……

This person must have something to believe in in order to survive.

No?
Perhaps, Vesemir's dream is just like that of most parents, hoping that their children will be safe and happy.

Although Lynn does not have the same dream as Vesemir, he can protect Vesemir's dream.

Since Kaer Morhen is the home of the School of the Wolf.

So why not fix up your home?

And he didn't do this just to please Vesemir.

Another reason is that it can shut Lambert up.

Lambert has never been able to tolerate cold weather. Whenever it snows, he complains non-stop.

If the castle could be repaired and warmed up, then Lambert would nag less and they would all have some peace of mind.

The last, and most important reason.

Since it has been decided to revive the Witcher in the future, Kaer Morhen, as the base camp, will eventually need to be repaired. It will have to be repaired sooner or later anyway, so what difference does it make whether to repair it now or later?
