The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 220 I have a bold idea
Dudu pointed at Lin En and introduced him to Shasha.

"He was my boss and gave me a job."

Then, Dudu recounted what had happened before.

The more Shasha listened, the wider his mouth opened.

"In this world, there are actually monster killers who won't trade monster heads for bounties?"

Lynn shrugged, "Your friend thought so too an hour ago."

"Okay, since Dudu trusts you, I can try to trust you too. You can call me Shasha."

Shasha made a "please sit down" gesture.

The three of them sat down in the living room.

"Dudu said you're his boss. Does that mean you have another business? But aren't you a demon hunter?"

Lin En was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with being a demon hunter? Who said demon hunters can't do business?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm," Shasha waved her hand, indicating she meant no harm. "You're such a strange demon hunter. Other demon hunters wouldn't even think of making money other than trading monster heads for bounties. They clearly have plenty of ways to make more money."

A shapeshifter knows how a witcher makes money?

Lynn suddenly felt curious.

He looked at Shasha with interest and asked.

"for example?"

Shasha thought about it seriously and said.

"A noble would never refuse the services of a demon hunter. Many skilled warriors would sell their labor to nobles. This is not shameful in the first place."

"It's called 'honor,'" they say.

Lynn remained noncommittal: "But witchers have their own codes."

"I've heard of your principles of neutrality, but in today's rapidly changing world, they seem a bit old-fashioned and rigid."

Lin En was not angry, but more interested: "I would like to hear more about it."

Shasha thought for a moment, considered the words, and said.

"I've read about you humans—sorry, I forgot that witchers are excluded just like us—ahem, I've read about human history and know that humans also came to this world from another world through the intersection of the celestial spheres."

"On the continent at that time, humans not only had to face numerous monsters, but also faced threats from the elven kingdoms. Their living space was at risk, and they could be driven into the sea at any time."

"Therefore, humans at that time were still able to unite and fight against foreign enemies with a common hatred."

"But in the blink of an eye, the vast sea turned into mulberry fields, and the elven kingdoms that once ruled the world either collapsed or vanished into thin air."

"Ancient races like elves, dwarves, and gnomes were forced to coexist with humans and integrate into human society. Races like us, shapeshifters and gnomes, simply disappeared from human sight."

"Either they hide in the deep mountains and forests, or they hide tremblingly in human society, doing everything they can to avoid being discovered."

"At this time, the traditional arts of mankind begin."

"I don't know if it's human nature or if it's something else."

“Once there is no external threat, humanity will come into conflict with itself.”

“When conflict breaks out, humans seek allies and exclude those who are against them.”

"In the past, a witcher was just an hourly worker. Employers called them in just to do a job, and they could leave after the job was done. Who would care what the hourly worker thought?"

"But now, things are different. From now on, there's no neutrality anymore. If you claim to be neutral, both sides will assume you've been paid." "If the conflict escalates and turns into war, both sides will eliminate those claiming neutrality before all-out war begins."

"And this is what rulers like to say: 'Either be my friend or my enemy.'"

Lynn didn't expect that this shapeshifter knew so much.

In Lynn's home world, due to the widespread access to education, many people can see this.

But in this world where education is scarce, it is really not easy to see things so clearly.

"Who told you these things?"

"Books compiled by professors at Oxford University, information gathered, summarized, and organized through conversations with others, and my own small... or perhaps 'talent'."

Lin En suddenly became curious: "Your talent is extraordinary, then what do you think a demon hunter should do?"

Shasha answered without thinking.

"Unite... The power of an individual cannot stand up to the collective. No matter how powerful a single demon hunter is, he cannot stand up to an entire army."

The witcher expected the shapeshifter's answer.

Even the legendary dragons need humans as their believers - for example, on the other side of the Blue Mountains, the mysterious country of Zerekan living in the desert has a tradition of worshiping dragons.

Moreover, the dragons they worshipped actually existed.

Shasha's answer was just as Lin En expected.

But he was more interested in...

"The Demon Hunters can't unite. The king and the nobles don't want to see a second organization beyond their control after the Warlock Brotherhood."

If witchers could easily form groups, the once prosperous and glorious witcher cult would not have split into several witcher schools.

Therefore, Lynn wanted to see what insights this shapeshifter, whose political acumen surpassed most people of this era, had.

"...You're right. This is also the point where I can only imagine it to this point and can't go any further."

Shasha touched the back of his head regretfully.

Lin En thought to himself that it was indeed so.

Ultimately, we were unable to break free from the limitations of this era.

But then again, one needs to create one's own future with one's own hands, and the glory of a witcher can only rely on the witcher himself.

Back to the topic——

"Dudu said he wants me to give you a job, but first I want to ask you, what are you good at?"

"I don't have the business acumen of Dudu, so I can't help you manage your assets, but I can protect your industry and help you deal with those bad guys who covet your industry."

Hearing Shasha say this, Lin En couldn't help but feel curious.

"Don't shapeshifters only have good thoughts? Even if they copy it, they can't understand the bad aspects, right?"

"In most cases, that's true, but I might be a special kind of shapeshifter, just like you, sir. Most witchers don't have a brain like you."

It would be a waste of talent to let a shapeshifter be your security captain.

The characteristics of a shapeshifter destined him to go to a stage where he can shine better.

"Since you've said that, I have a bold idea. Not only can it give you and Dudu a good life, but it can also better protect my industry."
