Chapter 229 There is a tragically thick barrier between us
In a private room of the Spear Cave tavern.
The girl with freckles on her face wiped the smooth table with a cloth and smiled innocently.
"Let's..." Three Jackdaws looked at the ceiling, which was cleaned so clean that there wasn't even a cobweb in the corner. After a long while, they continued, "Let's start with... beer, uh, a bucket. As for beer... any recommendations, dear?"
"Grilled fish?" the waitress suggested hesitantly.
Borch blinked. "Very good, then. Grilled fish for four, and soup with mussels, small fish, and all sorts of other odds and ends floating in it."
The waitress thought for a moment and said, "Seafood soup?"
Borch snapped his fingers and ordered a bunch of them in one breath.
"Yes. Roast lamb with eggs and onions. Sixty crayfish, and as much fennel as you can get in the pot. Then goat cheese and salad. And then... we'll talk about it later."
A happy smile appeared on the shop girl's face.
This is a big customer.
"At your service. One for each of you four?"
The tall Zerekan girl shook her head and patted her belly through her linen shirt.
"I forgot." Borch winked at Lynn. "Girls should pay attention to their figures. Miss! The lamb is only for two people. Beer and grilled fish should be served quickly, and the other things can be served later to prevent them from getting cold. We are not here to eat and drink, but to have a pleasant chat."
"I understand, Your Excellency." The girl bowed awkwardly, imitating others she had seen.
"You've been very good, my dear. I enjoy your ministrations. Give me your hand, my beauty."
The jingling gold coins fell into the girl's palm.
"This isn't meal money," Borch emphasized. "It's just a tip. Don't tell your boss. You deserve it."
Lynn watched the shop assistant girl leave excitedly.
When there were only four of them left in the room, Lynn spoke.
"There are very few nobles like you, unless they are in a really good mood that day."
"Have you seen many nobles? What are they like?"
Lynn thought for a moment, then said.
"Basically, they wouldn't even glance at the common people, as if looking any longer would rot their eyes;"
"Under normal circumstances, they would not speak to the common people, but rather their stewards or people of similar status would speak on their behalf, as if there were a sadly thick barrier between them..."
Borch looked at him leisurely: "Well, is there anything else?"
The two Zerekan girls sitting on either side of the table also stared at the witcher as if he were a rare creature.
At the same time, they communicated in a low voice in the Zerekan language, and occasionally let out a silver bell-like laugh.
"Most nobles wouldn't mingle with the common people like you did just now. In fact, aside from council members who make all sorts of promises beforehand to win votes and then forget all those promises afterward, I've never seen a superior who's kind to the common people."
The waitress brought four drinks to everyone.
Borch smiled and nodded at her.
Then he turned to the witcher.
"I'm amazed by your knowledge of politics. I never thought a witcher could be as knowledgeable as a scholar."
Lin En said modestly: "I'm ashamed to say that I only have a little knowledge." Borch picked up the drink brought by the waitress and took a sip.
"If you don't mind, Mr. Lin En, I would like to ask you a question."
Lynn nodded and said, "Of course I don't mind. Please go ahead, Mr. Borch."
"If I'm not mistaken, a demon hunter's job basically means you kill whoever you're paid to kill."
"We are not assassins, Mr. Borch, and we do not accept assassination commissions."
"Sorry, I didn't express myself accurately. What I meant was that you would hunt monsters in exchange for rewards. Any monster is the same to you?"
"That's not rigorous. I only kill monsters."
Borch was stunned: "What did you say?"
Lynn took a sip of her drink and spoke slowly.
"Hunting monsters is the demon hunter's vocation, and it is also the original purpose for which the demon hunter was created."
"But my friend and I are different from other witchers. Our teacher once said this:"
"A demon hunter should only kill monsters that harm people."
Borch immediately showed respect and asked, "May I have the honor of knowing the name of that old man and your other friend?"
There's nothing to hide.
"My teacher is Vesemir, and my friend who shares the same principles is called Geralt of Rivia."
Borch secretly wrote down the two names.
He then said.
"So what if someone asked you to go to a specific location, like on a special mission. What would you do?"
Lin En considered carefully, "I would first ask where this specific location is, what this special mission is, and how much is the reward?"
"Hmm, it's a very cautious habit. Let me be more specific. What if someone hired you to deal with a dragon for a high price? Not a flying lizard or a basilisk, like a dragon-like creature, but a real dragon! And for a high price!"
At the end of his speech, Borch gestured exaggeratedly.
"That depends on the situation, Your Excellency Three Jackdaws. True dragons are undoubtedly incomparable to dragon-like creatures. In fact, some scholars believe that the term dragon-like creatures is inaccurate, as they are far inferior to true dragons."
"Let's get back to our previous topic. In the books in Kaer Morhen, it's mentioned that real dragons are no different from us, humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and other intelligent creatures. Their intelligence may even surpass ours."
"Therefore, if the other party is a dragon willing to communicate, then not only will I not accept the commission to subjugate it, but I will also inform it of this news in advance before the dragon slayers find it, so that it will leave quickly and avoid a conflict between it and the dragon slayers."
"But if the other party is a vicious dragon that attacks villages and slaughters the weak, then I will be happy to accept this commission and eliminate this evil for the people."
The steaming hot food brought by the waitress obscured Borch's shocked expression.
The aroma of food attracted the attention of the four people.
No one spoke after that.
Instead, they all enjoyed the delicious food.
Borch sucked his fingers and spoke only when the lamb and grilled fish on the table turned into a pile of bones and fish bones.
"You really surprise me, Mr. Lin En." The Three Jackdaws raised their glasses. "Just based on what you just said, you deserve a toast."
