The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 253 Fortunately, there is no tragically thick barrier between us

The headquarters of the Eternal Flame is located on a small island connected to Novigrad. Since this island is entirely the territory of the Eternal Flame and no one is allowed to approach it, it is also called Temple Island.

But today, Lin En entered the temple island under the guidance of a temple guard.

The two men passed through layers of strict guards and finally arrived at the door of an office.

"You wait here. I'll go in and make the announcement."

The temple guard asked Lynn to stay outside and went in.

After a while, the office door opened again.

"Okay, Master Chapelle will let you in."

Lynn walked into the office and the door closed behind him.

"You have a nice environment."

He looked around.

The interior decoration is exquisite and beautiful, even if it is an earl's office, it would be like this.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Master Chapelle?"

Chapelle smiled bitterly and said, "No need for that, sir. In private, just call me Shasha as usual."

"That's not bad. I thought power would create a tragically thick barrier between us." Lynn smiled and sat down in front of Chapelle.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. You specifically asked Dudu to inform me to come to you under the guise of accepting a demon hunting commission. It definitely wasn't to show off your new office to me."

"Tell me, is there anything I can do for you?"

Chapelle nodded.

He was not polite and told her about what had been bothering him recently.

"This is actually what happened..."

No one could have imagined that Chapelle, the security officer of the Eternal Flame and a powerful figure in Novigrad, was actually an imposter.

The real Chapelle was long dead.

Chapelle is now nothing more than a shapeshifter named Shasha.

The shapeshifters are a very peculiar race.

The strangeness here does not refer to their ability to change their physical appearance at will, but to their personality.

There are almost no extremely evil shapeshifters. The worst thing they can do is to steal other people's things.

It is okay to steal goods, but it is absolutely unacceptable to kill people.

No shapeshifter would ever want to kill a human being, not even a little bit.

Under his management, although not all members of the Eternal Flame have turned to good, at least the number of death row prisoners has been greatly reduced compared to before.

And those who were actually executed were finally the evildoers who truly deserved to die.

However, Chapelle's actions also caused some radical elements in the Eternal Flame to doubt him.

The doctrine of the eternal fire was originally good, but any organization will always have a few bad apples that spoil the whole bunch.

The Eternal Flame is no exception, and there are even more than a few rat droppings.

These radicals are not interested in the teachings of the Eternal Flame at all, and their only purpose in joining the Eternal Flame is to get promoted and make money.

Originally, what they had been doing was relying on extortion to enrich their own wallets, and relying on killing innocent people and taking credit to improve their political achievements.

As a result, Chapelle's sudden move immediately caused them a lot of trouble.

This has caused their income to plummet and promotion is out of reach.

They say that killing someone's wealth is like killing their parents.

Chapelle not only cut off their financial resources, but also their path to promotion. Naturally, these guys were secretly thinking of some crooked ways to bring him down.

After listening to Chapelle's story, Lynn stood up and said, "Okay, I understand."

Chapelle was stunned: "What did you understand?"

Lynn cracked his knuckles and said it as a matter of course.

"Of course we should get rid of those troublesome guys. But what else should we do? Should we keep them around for the New Year?"

"I didn't ask you to come here to help me eliminate dissidents."

"Then do you have a better idea?" Chapelle paused.

"This... I haven't figured it out yet."

"Isn't it over then?"

Lin En knew that unless the person was guilty of a heinous crime, the shapeshifter would be unwilling to kill him.

Especially in the current situation, no matter how you look at it, it seems like killing is done for personal gain.

But the demon hunter does not have such mental exhaustion.

"If you feel bad, think about it this way," Lin En spread his hands and continued, "If I weren't there, and you, a weakling, were toppled by those radicals and allowed to take power, what would Novigrad become?"

"If you can't imagine, let me tell you, first they will burn all the herbalists and alchemists in the city;"

"Then there are the non-human races like dwarves and elves;"

"Finally, it's the humans who don't believe in the Eternal Fire..."

"Under their bloody rule, Novigrad will be a river of blood, and who knows how many people will die."

"Now, do you understand? This isn't about eliminating dissidents, it's about protecting the people. If we don't eliminate them, hundreds, if not thousands, of people will die in the future."

Chapelle was silent for a long moment, then he said, "You are always right."

"That's because I'm on the side of truth," Lin En extended her hand to the security officer. "At least you know their names, right? Give me the list, and don't worry about the rest."

……

After coming out of Temple Island, Lynn contacted the Syndicate.

The list was handed over to them, and they were asked to investigate whether all the names on the list were radical elements who killed innocent people and took credit for it.

It’s not that I don’t believe Shasha, but these people have no grudges against Lin En. It’s always a good idea to investigate them before taking their lives.

To avoid killing the wrong person, which would only cause mental exhaustion when you think about it later.

The syndicate was very efficient and the investigation produced results in less than a week.

Drake and her men did a great job. Not only did they find evidence against the radical elements, they also got their addresses and daily travel records.

Now Lynn had no worries.

Two days later, at noon.

In a mansion in the upper city.

Lynn shook off the blood stains on the sword of Gulvisir and put it back into the scabbard.

Beside him were the corpses of twenty or thirty fully armed temple guards.

Over the past two days, he has been striking quickly in the order of the names on the list.

Anyway, I have the Deception Amulet to change my appearance, so I don’t have to worry about being seen while assassinating my target.

If the target has many guards around him, just kill them and run away.

If there are few guards, kill all the guards that see you.

The owner of this mansion is the last person on the list.

Lynn took out the list he had taken from Chapelle from his arms, and a flame shot out from his fingers, setting the list on fire.

He threw it away.

Watching the list turn to ashes.

Through the fights over the past few days, Lin En has confirmed his current strength.

Even without taking the potion, his current speed has reached a point where ordinary people cannot react at all.

In his hometown world, there is an old saying that the only martial arts that cannot be defeated is speed.

Speed ​​is the key to victory.

Being fast not only means that the opponent has not yet reacted when you attack him, but also means that you can escape from the enemy's encirclement before the enemy surrounds you.

This advantage means that small-scale enemies cannot pose any threat to him at all.

When encountering a large group of enemy troops, he can use his speed to leave them far behind.
