The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 126: Make Demon Hunters Great Again
Vesemir sighed and continued.

"Kid, you have to understand that it's not that some of the warlocks are dissatisfied with us, but that the entire Warlock Brotherhood does not want the emergence of a Witcher Cult that is strong enough to compete with the Warlock Brotherhood."

"Back when all schools of thought were united under the banner of the Witcher Order, the Witchers of that time chanted the slogan 'Sweep away the darkness, have mercy on the weak, and be fearless' to protect humanity from the threat of monsters."

"The world back then was an extremely hostile one, filled with countless eerie and terrifying demons and beasts. Humanity could only hide in castles, and villages without the protection of city walls could only leave their fate to nature."

"Compared to the past, although there are still many monsters, at least it's rare for entire villages to be destroyed by monsters, and people no longer need to dress like soldiers to go out."

"Witchers are protectors of the people, and warlocks don't want to see that."

"So they deceived the fat-headed kings and incited the ignorant people."

"Even worse, with the departure of Alzu and Cosimo, the Witchers began to fall apart and entered a long period of decline."

"When people get older, they tend to get sentimental. I'm sorry to have to listen to an old man like me rambling on and on about all this nonsense."

"Actually, the point I want to tell you is, kid, the path you've chosen is different from ours, and you need to solve many problems:"

Hearing this, Lin En's expression became solemn.

"The first is apprentices. In the past, demon hunters could only recruit apprentices through the Law of Accident. But if we want to revive demon hunters, we can only return to the days of the Demon Hunter Cult, taking in orphans and training them to become apprentices..."

"But this will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction and vigilance of the king and nobles, so you must consider it carefully;"

"The second is the Green Grass Trial, which has a low survival rate. You may already know that the Green Grass Trial formulas of various schools are different nowadays, but the same thing is that the survival rate of Green Grass Trial is low..."

"Other schools have a three-tenths rate, and even the Wolf School only has a four-tenths rate, before improving and perfecting the Green Grass Trial formula. Child, I suggest that even if you have recruited some suitable apprentices, do not easily let them undergo the Green Grass Trial first..."

Vesemir shook his head, as if some bad memory was coming back to him.

A trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"Believe me, child, it's really hard to watch your apprentice, who trusted you, suffer the toxicity of the herbal decoction and see the last living life lost before your eyes.

"The third is the resident warlock. If there's a warlock casting a stabilizing spell during the Trial of Grass, the survival rate can be increased by another 20 to 30%..."

"The reason Kaer Morhen's Trial of the Grass has a 40% survival rate is because it was improved by the resident warlocks. Not to mention that if a warlock were stationed in Kaer Morhen for a long time, it would bring other added value..."

"The fourth is the ill will of the Warlock Brotherhood. I believe you know this without me having to elaborate. Perhaps nowadays, most northern warlocks don't really like witchers, but they certainly don't hate them either..."

"But the Warlock Brotherhood will definitely become a huge obstacle to your plans. You need to carefully consider your strategy to deal with them;"

"Of course, in addition to the above, there are other equally important issues, including but not limited to: sufficient funds to maintain such a huge industry, and a piece of land that belongs to the witcher himself and is not interfered with by anyone else."

"If you have made up your mind, boy, my old bones can still lend a hand. Moreover, there are no cowards in the School of the Wolf, and the swords of the others will gladly fight for you."

Vesemir had long since given up the idea of ​​reviving the Wolf School.

What comes with age is not only the experience, but also the loss of dreams and passion.

It is also becoming more and more realistic.

Vesemir had even long since accepted the future of the Wolf School falling apart after he was gone.

The only thing he could do was to try his best to maintain this big family.

At least while I am still alive, this family should not break up.

But now, today, he saw a faint glimmer of light.

Although still very weak, it did represent hope. Perhaps, in his lifetime, he would actually be able to see this youngest apprentice he had taught truly restore the glory of the Witcher and make it great again.

……

As Lynn and Vesemir began to bring out bowl after bowl of steaming hot food from the kitchen, Lambert and Eskar also returned with their full loads.

"Dad, Eskar and I put the fish we caught into the food storage room."

Vesemir gave Lambert a thumbs-up.

Then ask the two of them to wash their hands quickly, otherwise they are not allowed to sit at the table.

Yarpan, Zoltan, and their other dwarf companions stared at each other, then looked at their hands.

Without waiting for Vesemir to say anything, he jumped off the bench and followed Lambert and Eskar.

Four hours later.

The long table full of food was cleared out.

The dwarves all burped with satisfaction.

Yarpan said with even more admiration.

"Master Vesemir, your cooking skills... I don't think even Great Elder Broval has tasted anything like this."

Vesemir chuckled.

"It's just that I repeat something many times, so I become proficient in it."

Then, he frowned slightly: "Geralt hasn't come back yet?"

Lambert swallowed the swig of beer he had just taken.

"Eskal and I were wondering about this too. He's never late normally."

Lynn couldn't help but worry.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

"Him? How is that possible? No way!" Lambert retorted without thinking.

Eskar also said.

"He will come back, Lin En. Don't worry about him. You have no idea what he's been through. He's been through more dangers over the past few decades than you can imagine."

"Why don't you tell me how you got to know our dwarven friends? I see your relationship is more than just an employment one."

Eskar's vision is extremely sharp.

Although he is not as famous as Geralt the White Wolf, nor as quick-witted as Lambert, he still stands out.

Among the people of the Wolf School, his presence is always weaker than others, and he seems to be easily ignored.

But in fact, it is not easy for a witcher to survive the cruel green grass trial and not die from the pitchforks of the troublemakers.

In terms of strength, Eskar is actually above Lambert.
