The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 13: Well said, don't say it next time
"Well done," Lambert glanced at the bodies on the ground, a rare look of approval in his eyes. "How do you feel?"

"I'm okay."

Lynn wiped the blood off the silver sword on the harpy's feathers.

Lambert shrugged and said in surprise.

"Look at the corpses scattered all over the ground, the sickening smell of blood in the air, and the unique smell of harpies, a mixture of rotting corpses and bird droppings... and you actually think it's okay?"

"It seems you were born to be a witcher."

After Lambert's reminder, Lynn finally reacted.

Standing among these piles of corpses, surrounded by the nauseating smell of blood in the air, I didn't feel the slightest urge to vomit or feel nauseous.

It's not that he can't smell anything.

In fact, the demon hunter's enhanced senses make him far more sensitive to smells than ordinary people.

But he did not show any panic, tension or fear.

Of course, he's not as high as the crazy ones.

But I just felt... very peaceful.

Perhaps, as Lambert said, he was indeed a natural born demon hunter.

After the two dug out useful materials from the harpy, they boarded Lambert's boat.

"I'll be at the helm."

"why?"

"Because it's my boat, there's no reason why."

……

There was no fog on the lake in the early morning, and Lynn could easily see the entrance to the cave on the other side of the lake.

The boat glided gently across the lake, leaving behind a thin ripple.

The ripples began to spread from where the boat passed, spreading out in all directions like fine fish scales on the surface of the lake.

After a while, the boat finally reached the shore.

There is no place to tie a rope on this side of the shore.

So Lynn helped Lambert pull the boat ashore.

Prevent being pushed away by the water flow.

Although both he and Lambert were good swimmers, it was naturally more comfortable to sit on a boat than to swim across the lake, which was tiring and soaking wet.

"Let me think, what's the wise saying? Tread lightly, don't wake up Old Spearhead."

Old Spearhead is a Cyclops who has lived in caves for a long time.

He is also one of the most difficult "examiners" in the Badge Trial.

Many apprentices fell into the hands of the old spearhead.

Cyclops usually live a long time, and no one knows how old Old Spearhead is.

"How about we take a stake, sharpen it, and use it to blind the Cyclops' eyes, then sneak out of the cave disguised as sheep."

"Hahaha, the joke is funny, but please don't tell it again next time."

Just as the two were arguing, a cry for help suddenly came from a distance.

Lynn turned and looked.

But he could see nothing except the tall, dense reeds along the shore.

Lambert looked at him: "Did you hear anything?"

Lynn nodded.

"I heard."

"Then?"

"ignore him."

He had indeed heard a child crying for help just now.

Lambert also heard it, which means it was not his hallucination.

However, Kaer Morhen lies deep within the inaccessible Blue Mountains.

And where they are now is even deeper than Kaer Morhen.

Not to mention children, even villagers living at the foot of the Blue Mountains would not venture so far into the hinterland. Furthermore, among the books in Kaer Morhen, there is an article specifically recording information about this monster:
There is a corpse-eating creature called the Little Mist Demon.

They are good at deceiving, seducing and confusing people.

Wherever there's thick fog, there's a chance for a fog demon—in swamps, mountain passes, and along the banks of rivers and lakes.

If there is no fog, the little fog fairy can also create or summon thick fog by herself.

If you feel that the atmosphere around you becomes thicker and there is no wind, it means that a little fog demon is coming and is ready to attack you at any time.

The thick fog not only allows the little fog monster to hide, but also serves as its weapon.

They manipulate the mist.

It can leave travelers alone, unable to see the road and hear any sound.

Like fireflies, they emit a faint light to attract lost visitors to their nests in swamps, caves or ravines.

Sometimes, they don't even need to attack people. They just need to drive their prey crazy and walk into the swamp, and then wait for the prey to drown in the water.

Lin En, recalling the contents of the book, can almost conclude.

The voice of that little child was deliberately imitated by the little fog demon in order to lure them.

Lambert said in a provocative tone.

"Oh, why don't you go over and take a look? Maybe there's a poor kid who needs our help."

Lin En rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Do I look like a three-year-old child to you?"

"I think you look four."

Lin En didn't tolerate him and gave him a middle finger.

"Well said, don't say it next time."

……

No matter how much they played or how much they joked, after the fun, the two of them did not forget their business.

"Ready to enter the cave?"

Lynn nodded.

Lambert put away the smile on his face: "Before going in, drink a bottle of cat potion first. Do you remember what the cat potion is used for?"

And Lynn also became serious and said.

"Cat Potion is one of the most commonly used potions by demon hunters. It's suitable for drinking before entering dark areas like caves or tombs, or when wandering in dangerous areas at night."

"After drinking it, the witcher can see in complete darkness, thus avoiding being attacked by any nocturnal creatures."

"This potion allows the drinker to see ordinary living things, or creatures made of inanimate matter, even through walls."

"But this potion, like other potions used by witchers, will cause a slight accumulation of toxins."

Lambert nodded.

Then he handed over a bottle of cat potion and said, "It seems that you have really memorized all this knowledge. That's good."

After seeing Lin En take it, he also took out a bottle of cat potion and drank it all.

"In the cave ahead, there's a Cyclops named Old Spearhead. Don't ask me how long he's lived. He's been living in the cave for years, even when I was your age."

"Little ghost, what I am about to tell you must be remembered in mind."

Lambert held up two fingers.

"When we enter the cave, there are only two possibilities:"

"The first, and most common, scenario is that Old Spearhead is soundly asleep. As long as we don't make any noise, we can get through safely."

Lynn nodded.

He knew that there was only one giant, Old Spearhead, in the entire cave, and no other monsters.

As long as you don't wake it up, you'll be successful.

"What about the second one?" he asked.

Lambert was silent for a moment before answering.

"The second scenario is the same as when I was undergoing the trial... We need to escape from the sight of the awakened old spearhead."

"Of course, this is a situation none of us wants to see, so from now on, step lightly and even breathe carefully."
