The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 152 I come, I see, I look for Wei Ge
"Let me make it short. I don't know the name of the demon hunter I once met because he didn't introduce himself. I could only tell from the demon hunter badge he wore that he was from the School of the Viper."

"Also, don't ask me where he's been. I haven't seen him since he left this room."

"So, if you don't mind, could you please start your work? If I haven't misunderstood your purpose..."

Wearing the insignia of the School of the Viper, he roams Toussaint again.

Lin En could almost conclude that it must be one of Reso, Oaks, and Serrit.

At this point, the Viper School's headquarters would have been occupied by the usurper emperor of Nilfgaard.

Unlike the kings of the north, this usurper emperor possessed extraordinary vision and intelligence.

Admittedly, a single demon hunter has limited usefulness on the battlefield.

But what if we form a team of 100 demon hunters?

Or even, if you're bolder, form a group of demon hunters?
Isn’t it just a 3 in 10 survival rate?

It's said as if it's really that low.

Are the ruling class afraid of death?

No one really thought that they would shed a tear when they saw the orphans being tortured to death by the Green Grass Trial, right?

Just adopt orphans who have to wander for various reasons from all over the empire. Even if only three out of ten orphans survive, wouldn't it be easy to form a 3,000-man demon hunter team?
Then, they will be given 3,000 sets of top-grade equipment for armored knights.

This is not a demon hunter.

These are three thousand humanoid tanks.

If we have such a fighting force at hand, why worry about not being able to sweep across the northern countries?

The usurper emperor of Nilfgaard thought so, so he gave the School of the Viper two choices:

Join, or perish.

The Viper School chose the latter.

Then, the Viper School no longer had a home.

The witcher from the Viper School that Fringilla mentioned might have heard about the Duchess's situation, so he came to take a look.

It turned out that the actual situation was much more difficult than expected.

Only then did he run away.

He might still be in Toussaint.

Or maybe it has gone somewhere else.

However, as Fringilla said, this matter can be put aside for now.

So the three of them came to the velvet bed.

Lynn looked at the emaciated woman lying on the hospital bed. Duchess Carolberta's face was like a witcher who had drunk a large amount of potion, with black lines all over her face.

This is indeed more like the symptoms of being poisoned.

But the Viper School excels in the use of toxins.

If even the witcher from the Viper School left immediately, it meant that the Duchess was not poisoned.

But the problem was, the Duchess didn't look like she was cursed.

Moreover, when it comes to knowledge about curses, warlocks actually know more than demon hunters.

For example, in the original novel, Geralt lifted the curse on Princess Adda, the daughter of King Foltest, but because the witcher's knowledge of lifting the curse was incomplete, Princess Adda was actually at risk of turning back into a monster.

In fact, in The Witcher 1, some malicious nobles took advantage of this and turned Princess Adda back into a monster.

If it wasn't a curse or poison, then there was nothing he and Geralt could do.

"Sir Regis?"

Is there anyone present who has a solution?

That could only be this high-ranking vampire who had lived for over four hundred years. Regis was indeed Regis.

So many famous doctors in Toussaint and Nilfgaard couldn't even detect the poison, but he had only been in this room for less than ten minutes and had already made a preliminary diagnosis.

"It's obvious that this is caused by demonic forces."

……

In the audience hall.

Count Raymond held a wine glass in his hand.

The glass contained Toussaint's most famous wine, "East of the East".

After listening to the servant's report, Count Raymond looked calm.

"So, they only stayed in Her Royal Highness the Duchess's ward for less than ten minutes before leaving in a hurry?"

"Yes."

"Didn't say anything?"

The servant said respectfully.

"They only spoke briefly with Lady Fringilla. The barber, who was severely bald, said something about the Duchess being struck by some demonic force."

"Then the young witcher left without looking back, along with another witcher with milky white hair and the barber."

The servant raised his head cautiously and glanced at Count Raymond's expression.

"Even with Ms. Fringilla and Master Artorios working hard to keep Her Highness the Duchess alive, she's becoming increasingly thinner. It seems like she only has a few days left to live..."

"My lord, if Her Highness the Duchess is absent, Her Highnesses Anarietta and Sienna are still young, and they will definitely need a powerful noble to take over the government."

"Your Highnesses both have the blood of the Duke family flowing through their veins. As long as..."

Before the servant could finish his words, the wine glass containing Dong Zhidong was smashed heavily on his forehead.

The wine glass broke.

Wine and blood flowed together.

But Count Raymond seemed to still feel unsatisfied.

He kicked the servant hard in the stomach again.

"Asshole, how dare you say something like that?! You don't even know your identity! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again!"

The servant covered his stomach, hurriedly got up from the ground and fled out of the audience hall.

In the huge audience hall, only Count Raymond was left.

The light illuminated his gloomy face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

……

On the other side, Lin En and his group had left Beauclair and were rushing towards a certain direction.

"Demons are beings from other planes of time or space or worlds. They can exist in their own form or possess animals or intelligent creatures."

"There is a spell that summons demons called 'Evocation Magic', a spell strictly forbidden by the Brotherhood of Warlocks."

"Demons don't seem to be a single species or race, but rather a general term for a group of creatures with common characteristics, because each individual is very different from the others."

Riding on the galloping horse, Lynn turned to look at Regis.

"You seem to know a lot about demons?"

Regis said, "I've dealt with one of them before. Its name is 'Mirror Master' Gaunt O'Dimm. Of course, that's not its real name. Demons never tell their real names to others, because knowing the name means knowing its weakness."

He paused and continued, "It once offered me an offer that was extremely tempting to me at the time. Even now, I don't know how I resisted the temptation."
