The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 212 It’s him, it’s him, it’s him

Finally, the exhausted group was able to see the walls of Novigrad in the distance.

Oaks whistled: "This city is really big."

Before the Viper School's headquarters was wiped out by the Nilfgaardian army, the Letho trio used to operate in the south.

Except for the capital of Nilfgaard, the City of the Golden Tower, they have visited the capitals of the southern countries (of course, they should be called provinces now).

Before coming to Novigrad, Beauclair was the largest city they had ever seen.

And now, the Novigrad that appeared before them was even bigger than Beauclair.

Serrit then said, "Northerners call this city the Pearl of the North. It seems there's some truth to it. At least it's big enough."

Reso concluded.

"Although this city is large, there's probably no shortage of dirty things going on inside. If we were assassins or mercenaries, we'd definitely be able to thrive here. But you wouldn't want us to do that, would you, Lin En?"

As he said this, he turned to look at Lin En beside him.

The latter smiled.

"Of course, no matter how good a killer is, he's just a knife in someone else's hand. What we want to do is far more than that."

"But right now, what I need you to do is actually very simple. First, the first step is to complete all the demon hunting commissions in the city."

"There must be commissions for demon hunters on the notice boards in town. Go and complete them all."

Lei Suo thought for a moment and said.

"I guess there are quite a few commissions, but with the three of us, plus George from the Griffin School, there are four witchers. I'm afraid it won't take more than two months to complete all the commissions. So what should we do next?"

In fact, Lei Suo doesn’t think that life without monsters is bad.

He was just worried that if there were no more demon hunting commissions, the four of them (excluding Geralt) would all become idlers.

By that time, will Lynn still be able to feed so many mouths?

It’s not that Lei Suo doesn’t believe Lin En, but he is decades older than Lin En, and he has seen, heard, and experienced much more than Lin En.

The pressure from all aspects of reality can destroy or even change a person.

What Reso didn't know was that in the original plot, he unfortunately became the person he thought he was.

Upon hearing this, the young demon hunter turned and looked at the bald strong man.

It's as if he can see through the other person's thoughts.

He smiled.

"There will be other things for you to do when the time comes, don't worry too much."

"We are now facing a more pressing matter than this," Lynn's eyes swept over Geralt, the three Lethos, and George, one by one. "To avoid attracting attention, I think it's best for us to enter the city separately."

This has nothing to do with being a demon hunter.

Any group of armed men entering a large city like Novigrad would attract attention.

After all, the gatekeeper also has responsibilities.

You can't just stand there like a piece of wood.

Reso looked like a muscular man, but he was very careful and attentive. "Then Serrit, Oaks, and I will enter the city from different gates at different times."

"Then I'll come with you," said George.

George from the Griffin School became much closer to the Letho trio along the way.

Originally, George thought that the Viper School had fallen to the point of accepting assassination commissions, just like the Cat School.

But when Letho and the others told George that their school's headquarters was razed to the ground by the Nilfgaardian army because they did not want to become complete killers... George sympathized with them but was also ashamed of his own doubts.

Later, the griffin and the viper got along very well.

"Then we'll meet at my villa in the upper city. If you arrive first, tell the people in the house that I sent you."

"By the way, Oaks, I have to warn you not to scare the people in the house, or you'll be in trouble."

Snakes are cold-blooded creatures. Theoretically, a demon hunter named after the viper and from this school should also be emotionally indifferent.

However, Oaks is an exception.

The guy is a damn optimist and, like Lambert, has his own smug sense of humor.

"Why only me?" Oaks cried.

Regis said slowly.

"Northerners are truly hospitable. In that case, Lynn, you stay with Geralt. I can take care of Syanna, and I'll bring her to you at night... Syanna, what do you think?"

Syanna, cloaked and hooded, nodded.

This was settled, and the group dispersed and entered the city through different gates.

Lynn and Geralt chose the Gate of Glory.

As the pearl of the north, Novigrad has a highly mobile population. Many people cannot afford to buy houses in the city, so they live outside the city, return to their residence at night, and go into the city to work during the day.

Therefore, there were long queues outside every city gate.

However, although the queue was long, the efficiency of entering the city was not slow.

Civilians who go into the city to work every day and do not carry weapons can enter the city directly without paying the entry fee.

Councillors at City Hall are not stupid.

They know that their towering buildings were not built out of thin air, but relied on the migrant workers who came to the city to work.

So they cannot charge these lower-class civilians for entry fees.

However, people who carry weapons must pay a fee to enter the city.

Because these armed men will not contribute to Novigrad's bright future.

If a merchant brings goods, the city entry fee he pays will vary depending on the amount of goods.

When it was Lynn and Geralt's turn, the guards didn't take it too seriously at first.

Although the Eternal Flame had already been stationed in Novigrad during this era, the situation was not as extreme as it would be twenty years later.

Therefore, after seeing the golden eyes of the two, although he looked at them a few more times, he did not say much.

Until one of the guards noticed Geralt's appearance and suddenly seemed to discover something.

Staring intently at Geralt's face.

"It's him! It's him! He's here!"

Now all the other guards at the city gate surrounded them.

Another guard peeled a wanted poster off the wall and glanced back and forth between Geralt and the poster.

Finally, he shouted with great certainty: "Yes! It's him! Geralt of Rivia!"

"Hey, wait, don't get excited, gentlemen." Lynn stepped forward and stood between Geralt and the guards. "Did you misunderstand, gentlemen? We just came back from abroad?"
