The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 188 This is a magical world

"Your Excellency, Miss Fringilla Vige is here to visit you."

When Lynn returned to Casteldaccia Manor in disguise, the butler Sebastian whispered to Lynn.

"Ms. Fringilla? Where is she now? Is she still in the manor?"

"Yes, I arranged for her to rest in a guest room. Do you want me to take her to the reception room now?"

"Well, let's go."

Although I don't know why Fringilla came to visit.

Since the other party is already here, there's no harm in meeting him.

However, if you want to meet a lady, you can't just go there directly, that would be too rude.

So Lin En took a shower, changed into a noble dress, and then went to the reception room.

In the reception room, the butler Sebastian was diligently introducing the features and beautiful scenery of the manor to the sorceress so that she wouldn't feel like she had been waiting too long.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sebastian." Lynn nodded to the butler.

The butler bowed deeply like a gentleman, left the reception room and closed the door.

Fringilla crossed one leg over the other knee and said, "I won't say any more polite words. I don't think you'll want to hear them. I'll get straight to business."

"My Lord Baron, I'm here on someone's behalf. You promised her something, but you didn't do it."

Lynn frowned.

"Who are you referring to? Why can't I remember?"

"Your Excellency the Baron is truly a forgetful person," Fringilla said with a smile. "Do you remember Oriana, the noblewoman of Beauclair City?"

"She said you promised to visit her later, but you ended up keeping a lady waiting for you for so long."

"If I hadn't reminded you, you would have forgotten about it, Baron."

Lynn suddenly understood.

indeed.

When they completed the commission to rescue Tynesel from the underground sewer and went to find Orianna to settle the bill with Letho, Orianna did ask Lynn to come find her later.

Lin En didn't forget this incident.

But later on, there were too many things to do, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

However, Lynn planned to visit Orianna again before leaving Toussaint.

Unexpectedly, the high-level vampire couldn't wait and even asked Fringilla to come over to remind him.

But…wait.

Orianna wouldn't know...

Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but look strange.

"Ms. Fringilla, did Ms. Orianna ask you to come to Casteldaccia Manor to find me?"

The sorceress smiled.

I understand what Lynn is worried about.

"Of course not. Your Excellency the Baron is truly suspicious." Fringilla pointed at the amulet of deception hanging around Lin En's neck. "No one else knows about that except Her Highness the Duchess and me. Your Excellency the Baron can rest assured."

"That's good."

Lin En breathed a sigh of relief. "Although I haven't forgotten my agreement with Ms. Orianna, it's true that I've made a lady wait for so long, and I've even troubled Ms. Fringilla to come in person..."

"In that case, I will set off now to visit... Sebastian."

The door of the reception room opened and the butler stood behind it politely.

"My Lord Baron, what are your orders?"

"Go to the cellar and get two barrels of the oldest rosé."

"Yes."

After Sebastian left, there was a gleam in Fringilla's eyes.

“Foreigners only know about Toussaint, but only the people of Toussaint, who truly understand this land, can appreciate the unique charm of rosé wine.”

"The quality of this red wine is in no way inferior to that of Dong Zhi Dong. Ms. Orianna is truly lucky to be able to taste such a rare rosé wine, and two barrels at that."

Linn smiled slightly.

He was also very proud that the red wine produced by his own estate was praised by a court sorcerer.

"No, these two barrels are for you, beautiful Ms. Fringilla. Thank you for making this special trip."

……

After Lynn and Fringilla left Casteldaccia Manor, Lynn changed back into his witcher costume halfway.

They rode up to Oriana's house in Beauclair.

What’s surprising is…

"My Lord Baron, Lady Fringilla, my mistress has unfortunately been out of town due to some urgent matters. However, she has specifically instructed that if you two come, please wait in the reception room. She will be back soon."

Fringilla couldn't help but complain. She was a court sorceress, and out of fear of offending others, she only ran errands for Orianna at her request.

As a result, the person was invited over, but Orianna herself was not waiting in the mansion.

Anything urgent?

What else could she do?

Lin En glanced at the angry Florinilla but didn't take it to heart.

Because he could probably guess what Orianna was doing suddenly.

This high-ranking vampire who has been living in seclusion in Toussaint for hundreds of years in disguised identity is different from the blood-abstinent sects like Dettlaff and Regis.

She is also a vampire.

She owns an orphanage outside the city that takes in children who have become orphans due to various circumstances.

These children are her blood bags.

Of course, the children didn't have many complaints about becoming blood bags.

Because, without Orianna, there is no doubt that those children would have faced an even more tragic fate.

The world is not black and white.

Even Geralt understood this.

Again, compared to some people, monsters seem more humane.

This is really a magical world.

The servant led the two to the reception room, served them snacks and tea, and then left.

Lynn stroked the amulet of deception hanging around his neck.

He didn't know what Fringilla's motive was in giving him such a precious magical item.

But he is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage.

He had already thought of a return gift for Fringilla.

And now is the right time to bring it up.

So, while waiting for Orianna, Lynn exposed Plegmont's "miracle" to Fringilla.

Although this guy brought the faith of Lebioda to Toussaint, Plegmont's true purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

And this is indeed the case.

He not only defrauded a lot of money from ordinary people.

He also collected a large amount of wealth from the nobles.

If Lynn remembered correctly, Plegmont should have recently proposed to Duchess Carloberta to build an unprecedentedly magnificent statue of Lebioda in Toussaint.

The Duchess would also gladly agree to allocate a large sum of money from the Duchy's treasury to Plegmont.

However, the statue was never built.

Because soon after this, Plegmont's "miracle" will be exposed, and he will run away with the money.

His act of running away with the money also brought great harm to those believers of Lebioda.

This directly led to the isolation and exclusion of these believers in Toussaint.

This is also why, when Geralt comes to Toussaint in The Witcher 3's expansion Blood and Wine, the people of Toussaint will return to the faith of the Lady of the Lake.

Although Lynn had previously promised to help the Lady of the Lake expand her faith in Toussaint.

But he was unwilling to use this method of stepping down on one and praising the other.

Lebioda's philosophy is to spread wisdom and save the people.

This coincides with the ideas of the northern goddess Meliteli, who preaches love and peace.

Only kind people would believe in Lebioda, and his followers and believers should not have suffered the fate that they did in the original plot.

Therefore, Lynn's return gift to Fringilla was Plegmont.

After being reminded by the witcher, the sorceress also understood.

Of course she knew Plegmont, the man who had recently risen to fame in Toussaint.

As a sorceress, even in Toussaint, a city steeped in faith, Fringilla still maintains an open-minded attitude towards the gods.

Neither blindly trust nor blindly oppose.

Fringilla had not witnessed Plegmont's "miracle" before.

But now, after listening to Lin En's story, she felt that Plegmont really exuded a strong aura of a liar from beginning to end.

Toussaint is the hometown of Fringilla, and the Vigo family is also a well-known wealthy family in Toussaint.

She certainly didn't want to see Toussaint being fooled by a liar.

So he accepted the return gift from Lin En with gratitude.
