The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 19 The world is changing, but the scenery here is unique

Eskar and Lambert separated from Lynn and Geralt at the foot of the Blue Mountains.

No one can afford to hire several witchers at the same time.

If we only take one reward and share it equally among several people, it would be too little.

Therefore, demon hunters usually act alone.

Eskar and Lambert parted ways with the two men at the foot of the mountain.

They headed west together, intending to cross Kaedwen first and then go to Redania.

As mentioned before, King Vizimir of Redania has the title of the Just, so the witcher's situation in Redania is neither good nor bad.

Moreover, Redania's comprehensive national strength currently ranks first in the north.

The country is prosperous and the national confidence is overflowing.

It is a situation where there is both the rise of a great power and the dignity of the common people.

Therefore, in most cases, witchers can still get paid when working in Redania.

There won't be any unruly people (specifically referring to Kaedwen here) who think, "I'm already so pitiful, can't you help me for free? Are you still human? Damn mutant freak! May the plague take you away! He~tui!"

If nothing unexpected happens, Lambert may stay in Redania until the end of the year and then return to Kaer Morhen.

As for Eskar, he planned to try his luck in Temeria, Redania's neighboring country to the south.

The king of Temeria, Foltest, like Vizimir, also holds a noncommittal attitude towards the witchers.

However, there is a province called Velen in Temeria, which Eskar will avoid as far as possible.

Lynn and Geralt headed directly south of Kaedwen, their destination being Aedirn, Kaedwen's neighboring country.

Border conflicts often broke out between Kaedwen and Aedirn.

This is because King Henselt of Kaedwen desperately desires the ownership of a territory bordering Aedirn and Kaedwen.

The two sides fought countless times over this.

Sometimes Kaedwen wins, sometimes Aedirn wins.

And after every war, corpse-eating creatures will appear.

So Geralt thought that perhaps he could find some work on the border between the two countries.

Since they had long known that the Kaedwen people were extremely unfriendly to witchers, they had not thought of staying in Kaedwen for long.

Geralt even took Lynn and stayed away from towns and villages.

Try to supplement your food by hunting animals in the wild forest and catching fish in the river.

……

"Hey, you two, yes, I'm talking about you, come here!"

When Lynn and Geralt were about to leave the southern border of Kaedwen, they suddenly ran into a group of soldiers standing on the side of the road.

Just as the two sides passed each other, the man in the lead who looked like the captain suddenly turned around and shouted at the two of them.

"Respected Captain, I didn't know that in Kaedwen, just walking on the street properly is illegal." Geralt sneered with his unique sarcasm.

The captain ignored his sarcasm and said.

"I have a job for you filthy mutants. Just a few days ago, an Aedirnian army disguised as a merchant caravan secretly crossed the border. After being discovered by our army, they were defeated and fled back to their country, leaving behind many corpses."

"But before we could deal with the corpses on the battlefield, the corpse-eating creatures arrived."

Geralt shrugged.

"So you need two demon hunters to check if the corpse-eating creatures have eaten and drunk enough. If not, let us give them a meal?"

The captain laughed.

"Hahaha, you're so humorous. Who says all witchers are emotionless freaks?"

"But yes, that's what it is, and there's a hefty reward to be had. I know you mutant freaks won't work for nothing."

Geralt did not accept the commission immediately, but asked for details in detail.

"A reward? That's easy. However, we need to negotiate the price first. Just how much is a large reward? I need an exact number." The captain held up six fingers: "Sixty ducats."

The Ducat is a currency used in Aedirn, Cintra, Skellige, and Kaedwen.

Its monetary value is not very valuable, but it is still acceptable.

Geralt shook his head. "Only sixty ducats? That's too little."

The most guaranteed currency is the crown gold coin minted by Novigrad.

This is not only because Novigrad has a prosperous economy and is known as the Pearl of the North, but also because Novigrad is a neutral free city.

No matter how the world changes, the scenery in Novigrad is always unique.

……

After some bargaining.

The captain raised the reward to 100 ducats, and the two sides reached a consensus.

So Lynn and Geralt set off and headed towards the battlefield the captain mentioned.

The two walked along the road for nearly half an hour, then left the road and began searching for traces in the wilderness.

Demon hunters are experts at tracking, not only because of their rich experience, but also because of the enhanced senses brought by mutations that make them different from ordinary people.

When their witcher senses are activated, pheromones invisible to mortals become visible to them.

After more than an hour of tracking and exploration, the two finally found the battlefield that the captain mentioned in the wilderness.

But to their surprise, there were actually living people in the place where there should have been only corpses and corpse-eating creatures.

A businessman dressed in southern style stood in fear on the roof of an overturned truck, surrounded by hungry zombies.

Fortunately, the ghouls were creatures that crawled on all fours. Just like the undead in a certain world, they couldn't jump very high and could only circle around the truck.

That's why the southerner was safe and sound.

Of course, it's only temporary.

Once they realized that they could actually use their sharp claws to climb onto the truck, the Southerner's luck was over.

"Help!"

The two men looked at each other and gently drew out the silver swords on their backs.

After putting on a Quen shield, he bent over and slowly approached.

When the ghouls surrounding the truck finally sensed something was wrong and turned around...

The two men no longer hid their bodies, but stomped the ground hard and rushed towards the group of zombies.

Lynn formed the Alder Seal with his left hand and struck out fiercely.

The master-level Alder Seal created a gust of air that was like a tidal wave, crashing into the zombies that were rushing towards him.

It was like a thick wall, smashing the zombies that were rushing towards it into pieces.

Lynn took the opportunity to step forward and pierced the heart of the knocked-over ghoul with his silver sword.

When he pierced the second zombie, the remaining zombies that were knocked over by their own kind also climbed up from the ground and pounced on him again.

The "Magic Drainage" feat allowed Lin En to feel that some of the magic power he had just consumed had been restored.

So he calmly slapped the ground.

A circle of purple light lit up from the ground.

As soon as the remaining zombies entered the range of Aden's trap, their movements immediately became slow, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

But Lin En, who was in the middle of it, was not affected at all.

next moment.

Swords flashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and wailing was everywhere.
