The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 170 I was obviously the one who came first

"Well, sir."

"Well, yes."

The man on the chair looked carefully at his shoes, which had been polished to a shine and looked as good as new. He nodded with satisfaction, then took out a few copper coins and put them in the hands of the shoe shiner.

The latter smiled happily and thanked him profusely.

Seeing that there was a vacant seat, the man in black who was queuing decided to go up and sit down.

But at this moment, a well-dressed businessman walked quickly up from the side.

He pushed the man in black away and sat on it without any hesitation.

The man in black glared at the businessman with anger on his face.

"What are you looking at? I'm not a country bumpkin like you. I have a meeting at the city hall soon. Can you afford it if you delay me?"

The crowd queuing behind the man in black instinctively dodged to the side.

Even the shoe shiner stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

The man in black looked at the merchant and then at the shoe shiner.

In the end, I endured it.

But just as he turned to leave, he heard a mocking voice from behind:
"A peasant is a peasant, he has no sense at all."

Veins popped out on the black-clad man's forehead.

But before he could react, a young demon hunter with two swords on his back walked out from the crowd.

He threw the arrogant businessman to the ground.

"Get off here!"

The businessman fell heavily to the ground amid the laughter of the crowd.

The businessman looked down at the mud on his clothes, and the expression on his face instantly turned into anger.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? Do you believe I will have the Principality Guard arrest you?"

"Guards! Guards! Over here! Here!"

The merchant was not far away, and the guards patrolling with halberds were shouting and yelling.

The two guards looked at each other and walked over.

At this time, a kind-hearted person in the crowd hurriedly whispered a reminder.

"Young man, hurry up and leave. If the Principality Guards come, you'll be in trouble."

In the eyes of the onlookers, on one side was a businessman dressed in fine clothes, claiming he was going to a meeting at the city hall, and at the same time actively calling for the guards;
On the other side are young people who make a living by selling their swordsmanship and struggling at the bottom of society...

Although Toussaint is often hailed as a fairytale land, reality is reality after all, and there is no real fairytale land in reality.

In addition, it was indeed the young man who started the fight first, so he was not in the right after all.

As a result, the businessman heard this. Before Lin En could say anything, the businessman jumped up and blocked Lin En's way.

"You can't leave! You want to run away now? Are you scared? I'm telling you, it's too late!"

Lynn crossed his arms over his chest and watched the businessman jumping up and down with a calm expression.

"Who said I was leaving?"

The two guards finally came to the front of the crowd and asked, "What's going on? What are you all doing here?"

The businessman recounted what had just happened, adding fuel to the fire, confusing right and wrong, and putting the blame on the victim.

"Anyway, catch him!"

next moment.

The businessman's smug expression froze on his face.

Not only him, but the crowd of onlookers were also staring in amazement as the two guards carrying halberds bowed respectfully to the young man they thought was in trouble.

"Master Lin En."

The crowd was in commotion.

"Master Lin En? Wait, isn't the witcher who brought back the Holy Grail for Her Highness the Duchess also called Lin En?"

"So young?"

"What a handsome man."

"I heard that the demon hunters can plow the land with greater force and for longer duration. I really want to try it if I have the chance." Lin En also bowed in return.

"I'm sorry to trouble you with such a small matter, but since you're here, I'd like to ask you to judge the matter."

"It was supposed to be the gentleman in black's turn to have his shoes shined, but this unreasonable businessman insisted on cutting in line. It would have been fine if he just cut in line, but he also took the trouble to mock and ridicule others."

"I can't believe this could happen in Beauclair, where the glorious Duchess lives. Is this still the chivalrous land that upholds the five virtues of chivalry?"

Lin En's words made everyone present lower their heads in shame.

Back then, the first Duke of Toussaint, Ludovico, the Grand Duke of the Lance, established the Five Virtues of Chivalry for future generations to follow.

Although Ludovico himself did not have much chivalry.

For a long time, the Five Virtues of the Knight have been a national treasure of Toussaint, just like the famous Toussaint wine East of East.

However, since when, people no longer abide by the five virtues of chivalry, but instead turn to the worship of money and authority.

Even the knights-errant regarded the oath of chivalry as a means of advancement rather than just a virtue.

The businessman suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Especially when the guards looked at him with unfriendly eyes, his legs and feet immediately began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I...your Excellencies, no...I was in a hurry to go to a meeting at the City Hall...I didn't mean to..."

For some reason, the tongue that could normally bring the dead back to life was now incoherent and stammering.

"A meeting at the City Hall, right? I don't care what your pressing business is. Don't worry, come on, let's go to the prison and relearn the virtues of Toussaint."

The merchant was dragged away by two guards like a dead dog.

"Please take a seat, sir. It's your turn."

Lynn made a gesture to invite him to take a seat.

The man in black looked at Lynn deeply.

After hesitating for a moment, he sat on it.

Wait until his shoes are cleaned by the shoe shiner.

The people in the queue behind asked Lin En to wipe it first.

Since everyone is so polite, Lin En won't be polite either.

Actually, his shoes weren't dirty, but since he was already here...

……

When Lynn walked out of the alley, he saw a man in black leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

"Why are you helping me?"

The man in black's tone was filled with gratitude and a hint of caution.

"Do you need a reason to help someone? Besides, I'm not really helping you. I just can't stand those beasts who like to bully others by taking advantage of their power."

"However, if you must express your gratitude, I will gladly accept it."

The man in black turned around and turned his back to the witcher.

"Come with me, I have a shop in the city, we can talk in my shop."

The black-clad man's shop is not far from the shoe-shining alley.

It didn't take much time to walk there.

It was a house with a red-painted exterior and a wooden sign carved into the shape of a pony on a seesaw.

Lin En followed the man in black and walked in.

The room itself is not very big, but it has quite a few cabinets.

There are all kinds of toys on it.

Walking up the creaking wooden stairs, the two of them came to the attic.

It's even smaller and more eerie here.

There is a window in the attic, but the light that comes in is not enough to illuminate the entire attic.
