The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 240 The gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs

Borch galloped his horse forward for dozens of meters, then dismounted and slapped the horse's butt hard to let it go.

He clenched his fists and crossed them in front of his chest.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light burst out from his body.

The dazzling golden light covered his entire body.

He bent down and lay on the ground.

The body also expanded rapidly like an inflated balloon.

Finally, it transformed into a giant dragon as big as a hill.

Even if you put aside their appearance, you can see the elegance that distinguishes a true dragon from dragon-like creatures.

Looking at this beautiful golden dragon, Lin En suddenly understood why the dragon-slaying team in the original novel would rather risk being burned by dragon flames or being swallowed by the dragon than fight with the dangerous dragon in order to compete for the title of "Dragon Slayer" which seemed illusory to others.

"This is my true form, Lord Lynn. My name is Verentretanmes, which means Three Jackdaws in your language."

"As you can see, I am a golden dragon, a creature that the world originally believed did not exist."

"As you can see, my scales are golden. They are not gold, but they are more valuable than gold."

"Well, Mr. Lin, as a monster expert, don't you want to add a golden dragon's head to your collection of trophies?"

This is the final test.

Although Borch told Lin En that his true identity was a dragon.

But he concealed the truth about the Golden Dragon.

Deliberately revealing his true identity in front of Lin En would make it more shocking.

Borch has never revealed his true form to anyone other than the Zerekan.

This is not only because true dragons are now endangered creatures, but also because golden dragons are even rarer and more precious.

If there was anything that Borch gained from traveling around the continent for hundreds of years, it was disappointment with the greedy nature of intelligent creatures.

Yes, intelligent creatures, not just humans as a single race, but the disappointment of all intelligent creatures including humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes.

Borch knew that in this era, many elves...especially the young elves, liked to complain that humans had squeezed their living space and taken away the land on which their ancestors had always depended for survival.

But before humans set foot on this land, the elves were also happy to compress the living space of other races.

Even the number of true dragons has dwindled to the point where they are now rarer than demon hunters, all thanks to the "Dragon Poetry War" launched by the elves.

Therefore, Borch has no sympathy for the low status of the elves today.

It's just the natural law of survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest.

But demon hunters, they are monster killers.

They were created to protect humans.

Just as a cat's hunting blood is activated when it sees a bird, the hunting blood also flows in its body.

It's not that Borch looks down on Lynn.

However, there are only a handful of people who can fight against nature or even defeat nature.

"Mr. Borch, this joke is not funny. I have already said that I only eliminate necessary evils and will not do anything out of my own selfish desires or greed."

Lynn stretched out his hands.

Keep your hands away from weapons.

Indicate that you have no ill intentions.

"Besides, I really don't like other people's temptations."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin En. I was rude in judging you by my own standards. I sincerely apologize."

Jin Long lowered his head deeply. Now that everyone had spoken out, Lin En no longer needed to hide what he had already known.

"I accept... So, I've been traveling with a dragon? Then, Lord Borch, you asked me to escort you to Holopor City. Is it also because of that poisoned dragon?"

Jinlong nodded very humanely.

"Yes, her name is Mirgata Blake, and it was she who summoned me to come and help her eliminate the evil forces that threaten her."

"As for inviting you to join us, it was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"Ever since Gizlas of Radar, the demon hunters I've met have all insisted on exterminating monsters—including dragons, unicorns, and phoenixes. They've all included them in their must-kill lists."

"But you, Lord Lin, are different from all of them. Although you are also a demon hunter, your attitude and thoughts on everything are different from others."

"It was because I wanted to understand what kind of person you are that I concealed my true identity from you during this journey. I apologize again."

"However, since you already know my true identity and my purpose, Mr. Lin En, I hope you can accept my next commission."

"Come with me to the dragon's lair of Mirgatabrek, to help her and protect her."

"She has promised to give me all the treasures in the dragon's lair as compensation. If you agree, I am willing to give you half as compensation for being deceived by me for so long."

For short-lived humans, no one can avoid pursuing material things.

Even the nobles wanted more land, more wealth, more people, and greater power.

Even a king hopes to unite with other countries and expand the territory of his country.

But in the eyes of the immortal Bolchi, these are nothing but passing clouds.

Money, status, power... he already has them all.

He couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to.

Once, he told the King of Zerekan that there was no need to send anyone to protect him, nor was there a need to take out a large sum of money from the national treasury every year to honor him.

When King Zerekan heard this, he was heartbroken and thought that the dragon they believed in was going to abandon them.

At that time, King Zerekan was in a state of panic. He wanted to kill his wife and children, and finally hang himself on the old crooked tree to thank his people.

This left Borch speechless.

Finally, under the earnest persuasion of a group of Zerekan's ministers, he had to go find King Zerekan again and tell him that what he had said before was just a joke. Only then did the farce end.

In Zerekan, Borch is above all others, he is God.

But this also made him very lonely.

Because he has no friends.

So, for Borch, he looked down upon the treasures that Milgatabrek paid him.

He was attracted by his friend Lin En.

"Half the treasure?"

Lin En thought that Borch was indeed the dragon worshipped by Zerekan, as he was willing to give up half of the treasure.

Think about most of the poor witchers who are struggling in the mud and working themselves to death but still can’t earn much money.

The gap between people is even greater than the gap between people and dogs.

Wait, Borch isn't human...

That's fine.

Since Borch asked to give him half of the treasure, Lin En naturally couldn't refuse.
