The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 238 World: Don’t take me with you, I’m not that fragile
Dandelion looked disappointed.

"You've already said it, what else do you want me to say?"

"Yes, just as you thought, the dragon jumped into the gorge of the Kestrel Mountains, not far from the source of the Bra River."

"It's been hidden in the cave there. The treasures stored there for who knows how many centuries must have been hidden there too. King Niedamir of Kangorn wanted to keep them for himself, so he blocked the bridge to prevent any competitors."

"The entire Free City of Holopor was in an uproar. They felt the dragon's treasure belonged to them, but they didn't dare to openly oppose Niedamir."

"The king of Kangong was a young fool, with hair just beginning to grow on his mouth, but he knew how to command awe."

At this moment, Lynn suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the current situation.

"Speaking of which, I remember that the original rulers of Kangong were not Deidre Admaine and Maewyn Admaine?"

Deidre Admaine, Eskar's unexpected child, is also the child of disaster who bears the curse of the black sun.

After her father died of syphilis in 1232, she was technically entitled to inherit the throne of Cancon as the eldest daughter.

But her brother was very dissatisfied with this, so he sought the help of the sorceress Sabina Grievisig, the king of Kaedwen and royal advisor to Henselt.

They organized a team to hunt down Deidre.

Deidre was forced to flee to Kaer Morhen, seeking help from Eskar and the witchers.

Finally, the witchers decided to shelter Deidre and persuade her to give up her inheritance rights and reconcile with her brother Maven.

So Sabina had no reason to intervene.

Kangong'en became unprecedentedly powerful under the rule of the siblings.

Later, Deidre sent a letter to Eskar, but the latter destroyed it without even reading it.

Lin En was a little curious. How come Niedamir became the ruler of Kangongen in just twenty years?

Dandelion sighed and said.

"King Niedamir is the son of the late King Mevin. A few years ago, the late King Mevin was killed in an accident while hunting. He was gored by a wild boar and died."

"As for Deidre, she contracted the disease and died during a major plague that swept across Kangongen earlier. Even the highly trained doctors that King Maven found for her were unable to help."

"That's why King Niedamir acted so quickly."

"He wants more than just the treasures; he's more interested in dragons."

"You know that right next to Kangongen is the Principality of Maliur, right? King Niedamir has long coveted the Principality of Maliur. But after the prince of the principality mysteriously died, only a princess of marriageable age remained."

"But the powerful and influential classes in the Principality of Mariul are not optimistic about Niedamir and the other suitors. They know that the new ruler will definitely reduce their power, and the young princess is easily manipulated because she is easily influenced."

"So, to repel Niedamir and other suitors, the nobles of Maliur dug out a dusty, old prophecy. It says that the Duke's crown and the Princess's hand will only belong to the one who conquers the dragon."

"They believed this would make Niedamir leave in anger, as no dragons had been seen in the surrounding area for a long time."

"Originally, Niedamir didn't care about the prophecy at all. He tried every possible means to conquer the Principality of Malur by force. But when news of a dragon appearing in Holopor reached him, he realized this was a better opportunity to silence the Malur nobles than force."

"If he could carry the dragon's head and march openly to the Principality of Maliur, the people would welcome him like a king sent by the gods, and the powerful would no longer have any complaints."

"That's why he went to so much trouble to block this place, just to stop his competitors."

"Anyway, the dragon had a hard time even crawling before the Holopor people. And now so much time has passed, it might have already been poisoned to death. So, this is naturally a godsend for King Niedamir. It's fate smiling down on him."

Lynn nodded.

"Well, I can imagine that if I were him, I would think the same thing, but why didn't he take you with him? Doesn't he want his heroic deeds to be recorded?"

Dandelion hesitated. "He invited me, but I was late?"

Lynn found it a little funny: "What do you mean by late? Like Grouchy was late at the Battle of Waterloo?" Dandelion said dejectedly.

"I don't know which battle you're referring to when you say Waterloo, but I do bear some responsibility."

"After King Niedamir invited me, I met a young widow that evening, and then..."

"When I woke up the next morning, Niedamir and his army, along with the other dragon slayers I had recruited, had already crossed the river."

"They even took Kozoyed, the shoemaker who devised the dragon poison, and the militia from Holopor, but forgot me."

"I tried to explain to the captain, but he..."

"As long as you have a pass, it's not a problem," the captain explained calmly, leaning against the wall of the toll booth. "Without a pass, there's no point. Orders are orders..."

The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.

"Ha!" Three Jackdaws interrupted, "The girls are back with the wine."

"Not just them." Dandelion stood up. "Look at that horse. It's like a dragon."

Two Zerrekan maidens emerged from the birch forest, accompanied by a rider dressed as a warrior astride a tall, powerful stallion.

Lynn also stood up and looked over.

The rider was wearing a purple velvet tunic and a short jacket trimmed with black sable fur.

He sat proudly in the saddle and looked at everyone.

This person's eyes and expressions are the majority on this continent.

People like Borch are a minority.

"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Doregare." The rider slowly dismounted with a noble air and introduced himself, "Master Doregare, sorcerer."

Lynn knew the name.

He's from Wall.

It was a city in the Sidaris.

Dorregare was somewhat different from his fellow warlocks.

He is not so obsessed with power, but is committed to another thing, which is the protection of monsters.

Yes.

You heard that right.

Dorrigare believed that murder as a profession was both disgusting and barbaric and stupid.

He believes that the world needs balance, so monsters that pose a threat to humans are necessary to exist.

The demon hunter, the monster killer who hunts monsters, will break the balance and cause the destruction of the world.

Lin En didn't know whether all white people had a delusion of the destruction of the world in their bones.

First, there was Eitibald who predicted that a girl born during a solar eclipse would destroy humanity. Later, there were sorcerers like Doregare who believed that destroying monsters - or as he put it, "murdering" monsters - would disrupt the balance of all things, and then the world would be destroyed.

Please.

The human race is not so fragile.

The world is not that fragile.
