The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 159: Lynn is here, the Duchess is saved

"Relax, Sir, he is a blood-abstinent person, not a blood-sucking person."

"As the name suggests, vampires still feed on blood, not necessarily human, nor necessarily intelligent creatures."

"But to them, the blood of intelligent creatures tastes much better than that of animals."

"As for the Blood Abstinence Sect, just as the name suggests, they have restrained their desires and no longer drink blood."

At this point, Lin En lied a little: "As for more, I don't know. If you are interested, you can ask him in person."

He actually knew more than he told Maximus.

The rest are Regis's personal secrets and private affairs.

He felt that it was not a good behavior to disclose it to others without Regis's permission.

The Knight-Errant suddenly understood and thought he had guessed the witcher's thoughts.

"So that's why you don't hunt him? Because he's a vampire of the Abstinence School?"

Lin En corrected him, "It's a high-level vampire from the Blood Forbidden Sect. This is one of them..."

"Since we've mentioned this, Sir, I hope you will swear on your knightly honor not to reveal Regis's identity."

"In the cult's gathering place, he could have hidden his identity, but he took the initiative to expose it."

"Although he's a monster, his ways are very decent, but you can't deny..."

"In this world, there are indeed some people who, instead of thinking rationally, simply and crudely categorize people based on race, origin, region, or other random things, out of ignorance and prejudice."

"What's even worse is that these people won't listen to any reason."

"Note that the people I'm talking about are not just the hospitable, honest and honest common people, but also the knight brothers you know."

"If they find out Regis's true identity, not only will Regis be in trouble, but you will also be in huge trouble."

"Sir Maximus, as a knight-errant serving Her Highness the Glorious Duchess, you certainly wouldn't be one of those foolish people."

"Then please take a knight's oath and keep Regis's identity secret."

Maximus was conflicted, but he finally agreed.

In front of Lynn, he solemnly swore an oath of knightly honor.

As long as he is alive, he will never reveal Regis's true identity.

……

A few days later, the group returned to Lake Seravi.

Standing on the lake as clear as a mirror, Lin En whispered the name of the goddess of the lake.

A hazy mist suddenly rose on the surface of the lake.

The gentle water vapor wrapped around everyone, like the gentle hands of a lover, washing away the fatigue and hardships of the journey.

The feeling of fatigue disappears instantly, replaced by a feeling of being full of energy.

The goddess of the lake slowly emerged from the water, her bare feet standing on the water. She looked at the group with a holy smile.

"Very good, warriors. I can sense that you have cleansed the tainted land of worship of the evil god Dagon."

"Yes, Lady Goddess," Lin En took out the portrait of the evil god Dagon that the cultists worshipped and offered sacrifices to from the magic pattern leather bag, "This is their sacred object."

The Lady of the Lake waved gently.

A ball of soft white light enveloped the portrait and flew towards Him.

The portrait seemed to sense danger.

It was like a living being, struggling non-stop.

But the ball of white light that enveloped the portrait was like a cage, trapping it to death.

The Lady of the Lake clasped her hands together.

He did not seem to make any movement.

The white light enveloping the portrait grew brighter and brighter, even emitting astonishing heat.

So much so that everyone had to step back to avoid the oncoming heat.

Bang!
The white light dissipated.

The portrait wrapped in it seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

Not even a rag was left.

"I noticed, young warrior, that He seems to have planted an evil mark on you."

"Once you appear in his territory, you will suffer his boundless wrath."

"But don't worry, I will remove this mark for you... Come forward."

Lynn walked up to the Lady of the Lake without hesitation.

"Close your eyes and don't resist."

He did as he was told.

Then he felt an invisible force supporting his body as he slowly fell backwards.

He didn't panic or move around.

He let the force carry him down into the lake. Unlike what he had imagined, the water wasn't cold, but rather warm and comfortable.

Afterwards, the cold feeling in his body quickly dissipated.

A few minutes later, Lynn was brought back to the surface of the lake.

He opened his eyes and opened the property panel.

Sure enough, I saw that the deep-sea mark had disappeared.

Not only that, there is also a new "Detect Evil" specialty in the attribute panel.

The detection of evil here is specifically used to detect evil gods and their minions of chaos.

As long as it exists near the blessed person, it will automatically make them appear.

Although he guessed that the Lady of the Lake could probably help clear the disgusting debuff, Lin En still thanked her with respect and gratitude when she really helped.

The Lady of the Lake nodded tenderly.

He waved again.

A jewel-encrusted holy grail slowly rose from beneath the lake.

"Take this Holy Grail. When needed, holy water with the power to exorcise demons will flow from it."

"But this Holy Grail can only be used once. After use, you must bring it back."

"Also, young warrior, I have other plans for you. We will discuss this when you return with the Holy Grail."

……

Beauclair Palace.

With trembling hands, Florinilla fed the holy water from the Holy Grail into Duchess Carloberta's mouth bit by bit.

Inside the ward, Count Raymond and a group of important officials all looked nervously at the Duchess lying on the hospital bed.

Until she drank all the holy water.

A magical scene happened:

The dark lines on the Duchess's face miraculously lightened and then slowly receded.

Although he still didn't wake up.

But it can be seen that Duchess Carolberta's complexion has improved significantly.

Fringilla placed her hand on the Duchess's forehead.

He softly chanted a spell.

A soft green light emanated from her hands.

The sorceress closed her eyes and felt carefully.

After a while, she opened her eyes again and retracted her magical aura.

He turned to Count Raymond who was anxiously waiting.

"The demon hunter succeeded. The demonic power within Her Highness the Duchess has indeed been completely eliminated."

All the important officials behind Count Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.

Count Raymond himself also looked much more relaxed.

But then he asked again in confusion.

"Then why hasn't Her Royal Highness the Duchess woken up yet?"

Fringilla said, "Her Highness the Duchess is old, after all, and has been tortured by the demonic power for so long, so she naturally needs to recuperate slowly."

Count Raymond nodded, then looked at Lynn and the others.

The tone was finally no longer the cold and distant attitude that they had when they first met.

Instead, it is full of gratitude and goodwill.

"Master Lynn, Master Geralt, Lord Regis, Sir Maximus, I, Raymond, as the regent minister, on behalf of Toussaint, thank you for your great contributions to the glorious Duchess and to Toussaint."

Count Raymond was very direct in expressing his gratitude.

He paid them 450 florins each.

The florin is also known as the Nilfgaardian franc.

It is a currency circulated in the Nilfgaard Empire, its provinces, and vassal states.

At the current exchange rate, 450 florins are equivalent to 5000 orens.

However, the value of the florin did not depend on its gold content.

Rather, it depends on the economy of the Nilfgaard Empire.

If the imperial army wins consecutive battles, the large amount of spoils and slaves plundered from the conquered areas can cause the value of the gold coin to rise significantly.

However, if the confrontation with the enemy becomes prolonged and a breakthrough is not possible, the war debt will continue to pile up and the value of the florin will continue to decline.

The florin was merely an advance payment.

Count Raymond assured them that if Her Royal Highness the Duchess woke up, there would be a generous reward.
