Chapter 137: To deal with evil spirits, there is no need to follow the rules of the underworld. Let's go together.
"Please take a seat, Masters. Our conditions are limited, so please forgive us if we are not able to provide you with adequate hospitality."

"You are so polite, Sir." Lynn and Geralt each found a chair and sat down. After looking at each other, Lynn took the initiative to ask.

"But if you don't mind, I'd like to ask Her Highness the Duchess what exactly is going on? Why do you think it's a curse?"

Maximus's expression suddenly became serious.

"At the beginning of last year, Her Royal Highness, the Duchess, who was in good health, was assassinated in the palace."

"When we arrived, we found no trace of the assassin. We only saw Her Royal Highness the Duchess and her maids lying in a pool of blood."

"Although Her Highness the Duchess survived that despicable assassination, she has yet to wake up."

"Even the famous doctors in Toussaint couldn't figure out what was wrong with Her Royal Highness the Duchess."

"Later, we invited several famous doctors from the Nilfgaard Empire, but the results were the same."

"Therefore, some of the knights-errant serving Her Highness have suggested that if even the doctors can't identify the illness, then is there a possibility? Could Her Highness the Duchess actually be cursed?"

Lin En nodded slightly.

"I understand, but I still have a question. If it's truly a curse, why don't you ask the court sorcerer in Toussaint to resolve it? Why go to all the trouble of traveling north to seek the help of the witchers?"

Maximus sighed.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that even Lord Artorios Vigo and Lord Fringilla Vigo seem to be unable to lift the curse. At best, they can only maintain the Duchess's life."

Lynn and Geralt looked at each other.

They could see their doubts in each other's eyes.

Even the knowledgeable court sorcerer couldn't see the curse?
But how is this possible?
Unless it wasn't a curse that was causing the Duchess to be bedridden, but something else.

Perhaps because Lynn and Geralt were silent, Maximus couldn't help but feel anxious.

I was afraid that the two witchers would refuse the job because the task was too difficult.

So he hurriedly said, "Masters, the Regent, Count Raymond, has said that if anyone can restore Her Royal Highness the Duchess to health, there will be a generous reward. I will definitely not let you down."

"To put it another way, even if the curse cannot be lifted, that master will not hold the two masters accountable."

Now that things have come to this, it would be impolite to refuse any further.

"Okay, we'll accept this mission. Geralt and I will go through fire and water and devote all our efforts to the glorious Duchess."

Maximus was delighted: "Then I'll leave everything to the two masters."

Both parties reached an agreement.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more harmonious.

"Come to think of it, before we arrived, did Your Excellency the Knight have any misunderstandings with the local villagers?" Lin En asked about what he had seen in the open space in the center of the village.

Maximus paused and said.

"It's not a misunderstanding. In fact, when Her Majesty the Duchess appointed me a Knight-Errant, I swore a solemn oath:"

"I shall take no wife, no land, no son, no crown, no honor. I shall not contend for honors or favors. I shall live and die at my post... unless these five hundred criminals are brought to justice."

Lin En was immediately shocked when he heard this.

Playing such a big game?

You know, even the generals in Japan's Warring States Period.

What about Saigoku Musou, Joshu Yellow Spot, Red Yasha, Devil's Heihachi...

He might not even take five hundred heads in his lifetime.

Maximus continued.

"So when I learned that the village was being plagued by bandits, I immediately felt obliged to shoulder this sacred duty."

"I heard from the villagers that tomorrow is the day those bandits will come to rob again."

"Masters, what do you think about us setting off again after I drive away those bandits?"

Lynn saw that Maximus's expression did not seem fake.

So he nodded.

"Of course. Also, please let Geralt and I assist you in dealing with those villains. No need for chivalry. Let's go together."

"Thank you." Considering that there would be a fierce battle the next day.

After dinner, the three of them sharpened their weapons and went to bed early to rest up.

I got up early the next day and waited quietly for the arrival of the gang of robbers.

Around noon, the three people in the house heard a sudden noise and commotion outside.

There were also shouts of panic mixed in.

Soon, there was an urgent knock on the door.

"Sir Knight, they... they are coming!"

The Knight Errant jumped up from his chair, picked up the gorgeous helmet decorated with feathers, and put it on his head.

"Finally we're here, two masters, let's go."

The three of them left the cabin and walked outside.

At this time, the village was in chaos.

Most people hurriedly hid in their houses and closed the doors and windows.

However, a few villagers who did not have time to escape were captured by the bandits who had already rushed into the village.

They didn't kill anyone right away.

Instead, they beat up the villagers who dared not resist for fun.

There were not many robbers, only about ten.

But everyone had a strong smell of blood on them, and some of the robbers' armor didn't even have the blood stains washed off.

You can tell at first glance that it was taken from a dead person.

"Boss."

A sharp-eyed robber noticed the three witchers walking out of the house.

The bandit leader ordered his men to stop.

"I don't know what to call you three?"

Maximus took a step forward, standing in front of Lynn and Geralt.

He put his hands on his hips and roared like a bell:
"I, Maximus Norris Macrinno, am a Knight-Errant serving Her Highness, Duchess Carolina Roberta, who reigns over Toussaint."

"And these two are the famous witchers Master Geralt and Master Linn."

"Shameless men, I demand your repentance. If you are willing to lay down your weapons and surrender, you will have a chance to live. Otherwise, you will surely die."

The bandits who had just been bullying the villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although the enemy is small in number, they are well-equipped.

If a real fight breaks out, they will suffer losses.

Therefore, no one dared to move for a while.

Just look at the bandit leader.

The bandit leader also raised his hands as if admitting defeat.

"We are willing to repent, noble knight, please have mercy on us."

"Boss?"

The robbers were dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe that the boss who usually even assaulted women, children and the elderly would actually give in like this.

But they were immediately glared back at by the bandit leader with a fierce look.

He immediately restrained his facial expression and smiled.
