The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 266 Xuefeng will protect everyone

"They arrived just one day earlier than you. They rushed back last night under the stars." Vesemir said with a smile, but then sighed and looked worried.

"But they're not in the castle right now. They're out hunting. They said they haven't had a good time out there this year, sometimes even having no food to eat, so they want to eat some meat."

Lynn nodded wordlessly.

In fact, there are only a very small number of demon hunters like him who are like the heroes in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, doing nothing but being generous.

Real witchers, even top witchers like Vesemir and Geralt, can only barely make a living.

Two or three hundred years ago, that was the best time for witchers.

With the departure of "Father" Arzu and Cosimo, the old order split into several emerging schools of witchers.

With the exception of the Griffin School, which still adheres to the noble motives set by the old order to protect the people of the continent, all other schools have shifted to pursuing a more pragmatic way of survival.

That is, they began to view killing monsters as a job rather than an unattainable, lofty ideal.

At that time, there were monsters everywhere and countless demon hunting commissions. As long as you could kill monsters, any demon hunter could make money.

Vesemir came from that era, and now that he is old, he misses that time a lot.

However, as the number of monsters decreased, the monster hunters who originally protected humans and did their work for money were instead regarded as monsters by humans.

Not only that, there is now a new concept in human society: reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

That is to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

When used on demon hunters, it means not only that they hope to use one reward to allow demon hunters to complete multiple demon hunting commissions, but also that the multiple demon hunters who come to accept the commissions will compete with each other and take the initiative to reduce the rewards of the demon hunting commissions.

In this way, Lin En could naturally imagine what Vesemir said about Eskar and Lambert having a hard time this year.

He sighed and was about to tell Vesemir that they didn't have to worry anymore and that he would protect everyone in the Wolf School, but he heard Vesemir take the initiative to change the subject.

"Lin En, are they all your friends? Won't you introduce them to me?"

Lynn saw that Vesemir's eyes were looking at the group of people who had dismounted and gathered around him and Geralt.

So he nodded and spoke to the people behind him.

"Everyone, this is my teacher, Vesemir, the Grand Master of our Wolf School."

Everyone saluted together.

Vesemir returned the greeting.

Then he spoke to Vesemir.

"Teacher, let me introduce you. First, these three are Reso, Ox, and Serrit from the Viper School."

Vesemir's name was well-known to everyone in every school. After all, he was an old man from the Old Order. Even the witcher from the Viper School, who had always tried to save on formalities, followed suit and bowed.

"Sir Vesemir, I apologize for the intrusion."

"What are you talking about, Lord Reso? This castle has been empty for hundreds of years. It would be too lonely for just a few of us to live there. I would be so happy to have a few more guests to visit and make it more lively. How could I be surprised?"

Lynn introduced the next person to Vesemir.

"This is George from the Griffin School."

Vesemir spoke first, "I, an old man, have always admired the noble ideals and chivalry that your school upholds."

George also said respectfully: "I also admire the unity of the Wolf School."

"These two are..."

When it was the last two sorceresses' turn, Vesemir smiled and said to the two ladies.

"Lady Tissaia de Vris, Lady Yennefer of Vengerberg, welcome to Kaer Morhen."

Tissaia also said politely, "Vesemir, it's been many years since we last met. You're still as strong as ever."

Even Yennefer finally did not behave rudely.

She glanced around and showed a rare look of satisfaction.

"As expected of the Wolf School's fortress, it's quite imposing and magnificent. However, I heard that Kaer Morhen fell into decline many years ago. Could the rumors be wrong?"

Geralt hurried forward and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Ye!"

Vesemir laughed.

His old man had eaten more meat than any other man had eaten bread.

Although Yennefer's words were not very polite, as a man who had lived for hundreds of years, he naturally would not bother with Yennefer, a "junior".

"Let's talk about these things after we go inside. This is not a place to entertain guests. It's very cold outside. Everyone, please come in."

The atmosphere relaxed.

Just as Vesemir was greeting everyone, a harsh voice came from the direction of the city gate.

"Why are there so many footprints on the ground? Did that kid Lin En bring someone back again?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Lynn saw the vein throbbing on Vesemir's forehead.

He walked silently towards the corridor connecting to the city gate, and after a while, he heard the quarrel between the two.

"Lambert, since you know that guests are coming, can't you show some hospitality?"

"Dad, hospitality is something only rich people know. Do we look like rich people to you?"

"Can't you be more polite when you talk to me? I didn't whip you hard enough during your apprenticeship, did I?"

"Alright, alright, you've won the argument. I don't want to piss you off to death. If I piss you off enough to give you a cerebral hemorrhage and you become paralyzed and need us to take turns taking care of you, I'd rather die."

Lambert is the youngest demon hunter besides Lynn.

Apart from his bad mouth, he actually has a good heart.

Under the persuasion of Eskar, who was traveling with Lambert, Lambert apologized to Father Vesemir.

Even if this matter is over.

Next, Lynn met Yarpan, Zoltan and others in the castle.

Lynn praised the dwarves' contributions generously, and when he delivered the final payment, he gave them an additional compensation as a reward.

The dwarves were naturally delighted, and their affection for Lynn deepened greatly.

Lynn does this.

In addition to being a recognition of the dwarves' hard work, it is also to win their hearts.

Yarpan, Zoltan and others are prominent characters in the original novel and the game. They even served as commanders of the Mahakam Volunteer Army during the Northern War to fight against the Nilfgaardian army.

Therefore, there will be no harm in Lynn getting along well with them.

Connections are useful in any era.

Especially those who have accomplished great things, throughout history, both in China and abroad, has there ever been anyone who could expand territory by fighting alone?

As Dandelion said, the network of acquaintances is an inviolable law of nature.
