The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 239 He still has to thank us
Since Doregare had already announced his name, Lynn, Dandelion and Borch also introduced themselves.

"I am Master Lynn, the Demon Hunter."

"Master Dandelion, the poet."

"My name is Borch, also known as Three Jackdaws. The girl opening the barrel is mine. I believe you already know her, Lord Dorrigare."

"Indeed," Dorregare replied sternly, "the beautiful Zerrikan warrior and I have exchanged greetings."

"Oh, okay! Cheers to your health!" Dandelion began to distribute the wine and food brought by Via, including to every halberd soldier.

"I suppose," said Dorregaray, taking a dignified sip of his wine, "that you are waiting on the bridge for the same reason as I am."

"If you mean the dragon, Lord Dorregaray, then it is true."

Dandelion replied, "I wanted to be there and compose the ballad myself. Unfortunately, the captain wouldn't let me through—he asked for a pass, which I'm afraid was a bit rude."

Although he was reluctant to accept the offer, the captain still stuck to his principles.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let anyone pass without permission. I have no choice. It seems that every Holopor person has prepared a carriage and is ready to go into the mountains to hunt dragons, but I must obey orders..."

Lin En waved his hand and said.

"You don't have to be sorry. You had your duty and you did your duty. In my opinion, you don't have anything to be sorry about."

"Also, Lord Dorrigare, you are wrong about one thing."

Dorrigare snorted, "I'm all ears."

"The reason why Lord Borch, I, and the two beautiful ladies were stopped here is simply because we were planning to go to Holopor. It has nothing to do with the dragon."

"So, since this road is blocked, after we finish eating this food, we will turn back and go around to Holopor from the city of Henfors."

"What on earth are you plotting, Monster Slayer?" Dorregare narrowed his eyes. "It's as absurd for a witcher to have no interest in murdering monsters as a cat to have no interest in pouncing on birds."

Lynn spread his hands.

"Whatever you think, Mr. Warlock, the fact is, I really don't have any conspiracy."

When Dandelion heard that Lin En was going back home, he immediately became anxious.

Although it was the first time he met Lynn, Dandelion had already regarded Lynn as his friend because Lynn saved his junior Marillion.

"What are you talking about, Lin En? Are you really not interested in that dragon? It's a dragon, a poisoned one, in imminent danger. Any farmer with a sickle could go over and cut off its head, and become a dragon-slayer admired by everyone."

"You really don't want to try? Even though the king's dragon-slaying team has been on the march for several hours, they definitely won't be able to reach the Kestrel Mountains where the dragon is hiding within today, let alone find the dragon's lair."

"As long as this kind-hearted captain is willing to let us pass, we can ride as fast as we can and catch up with the Dragon Slayers by evening at the latest."

Through his friend who was a demon hunter, Dandelion knew very well how miserable the demon hunter profession was.

Not to mention the honorary title of Dragon Slayer, even the treasure in the dragon's lair is attractive enough.

The captain still insisted: "The order I received is...hiccup, no one can pass without a pass, no matter who it is."

Dandelion stood up frantically, ruffling his curly hair.

"May the plague take you away, damn it, can't you just throw that damn pass aside?"

Lin En chuckled, as if genuinely unconcerned, and said, "I'm not interested in the false reputation of a dragon slayer, nor the treasure within the dragon's lair. Besides, I'm currently serving as the guard for Lord Borch. My commission will only be concluded after Lord Borch arrives in Holopor City."

"Until then, I don't intend to be distracted by anything."

"Of course, not only that, but I also feel that the dragon is far from being worth conquering."

"Although it ate some sheep, it didn't actively attack anyone... Note that I said actively attack."

"As for the two people who died from the dragon's kiss... You can't expect a creature that was just poisoned and is now suffering from the poison to smile and greet a stranger who approaches it with weapons and malicious intent, right?"

"Let alone a dragon, even a traveling merchant, if he encountered two people approaching him with weapons in the wild, would probably kill them in self-defense."

Dandelion was stunned.

"I find it hard to believe that these words actually came from the mouth of a demon hunter. I thought only the demon hunter friend I know had such a twisted personality."

The demon hunter said: "This is not twisted, but my principle. I have my own rules."

No one said anything after that.

Before long, all the food that Tia and Weia brought was eaten up.

There was still quite a bit of wine left.

"Mr. Borch?"

Lynn looked at Borch.

Borch nodded and said, "Well, let's leave now, Captain, Poet, and Dorrigare. I wish you all a safe journey."

Dandelion took off his hat in greeting, and the soft-hearted captain nodded. "We wish you all the best, too."

Doregare hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Sir Demon Hunter, I'm sorry I doubted you before. I simply didn't expect that even among warlocks, there were so few who shared my views. I never expected to find such a noble person among the monster experts who make a living by hunting."

"Please accept my sincerest apology."

"I accept your apology, Lord Dorregaray. Farewell, Dandelion, Lord Captain."

……

After the four of them rode away for a distance, leaving the ferry bridge far behind and no longer visible, Borch, who was sitting on his horse, hesitated for a long time before speaking to Lynn as if he was finally about to make an important decision.

"Sir Lin, there's something I've kept in my heart for a long time. I don't think I should keep it secret any longer. It's time to tell you... about my true identity."

Is it finally here?
Lin En thought to herself.

Lin En, who had the script in his hand, had long known that Borch's purpose in coming to Holopol was to help the dragon that was poisoned by humans.

But Borch had never mentioned it before, so Lynn pretended not to know.

Now that Borch is finally willing to reveal his cards, Lynn will no longer avoid it.

"However, rather than describing it with words, it is better to show it directly with actions."
