The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 268 Make Witcher Great Again!

"If you really find it, it will greatly increase the survival rate of the Green Grass Trial, and rapidly increase the number of our demon hunters. I know this will take at least ten years, and possibly even longer."

"But for us demon hunters, decades or even hundreds of years are just a fleeting moment."

"These days, demon hunting commissions are already much less than they used to be, and jobs are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The employment environment will only get worse in the future, but by then, more demon hunters will flood into the market. I'm afraid..."

Oakes didn't mean to contradict Lynn.

He was just worried.

When the old order split, the pioneers of the Viper School followed Anahad and left the order.

But later they betrayed Anahad and almost killed him, and then continued to migrate south.

It's precisely because the Viper School, like the Cat School, doesn't mind taking assassination commissions to make a living...

Therefore, the witchers of the Viper School are more realistic in considering issues.

Now these demon hunters are all considered Lin's subordinates.

And it is impossible for Lynn to ignore his brothers and teachers in his own school.

This means that Vesemir, Lambert, and Eskar will all join in.

That means three more mouths to feed.

No matter how well Vesemir and the two sorceresses improved their herbal decoction, there would always be a few children who followed them all the way to Kaer Morhen who would survive the Trial of the Grasses.

Does this increase the population that needs to be fed?

What if the number of demon hunters continues to increase?
Since Reso and the others didn't know about Lynn's financial situation, the realistic Oaks couldn't help but worry.

If the number continues to grow at this rate, it will only be a matter of time before the number of demon hunters exceeds fifty, or even one hundred.

And Lynn, can he pay the salaries of a hundred demon hunters?
What if he goes bankrupt, how will he accommodate so many demon hunters?
For demon hunters nowadays, it can no longer be said that they are living, but surviving.

It's still so hard to find a job now. What if the number of monsters becomes smaller in the future and the number of demon hunters increases? Wouldn't the environment be even worse by then?
Oaks' words also reflected the thoughts of Reso and Serrit.

The School of the Viper is different from the School of the Griffin.

The Griffin School doesn't need any reward, as long as the people they help are grateful, they can survive.

However, the Viper School has long lived in the more realistic, cruel, and inhumane Nilfgaard Empire, which operates coldly according to a set of rules. Therefore, they are accustomed to thinking the worst of everything.

Oaks' words immediately resonated with others.

Even Tissaia and Yennefer looked over curiously, wanting to see how Lin En would answer.

Despite numerous problems, the Warlock Brotherhood of this era still stands tall like a mountain.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, spellcasters are superior beings.

But in fact, only the top sorcerers at the top of the pyramid can monopolize all resources.

The life of an ordinary warlock is not as comfortable as imagined.

Take Yennefer for example.

Because of her reputation, female nobles would come to her if they wanted an abortion.

Even Yennefer's fees are much higher than those of ordinary warlocks.

But those female nobles were willing to line up to give money to Yennefer. Ordinary warlocks did not have such a great reputation, so they could only rely on the knowledge they learned in the academy to become a herbalist, alchemist, or other related professions.

This is the current situation of most spellcasters.

Unlike the powerful sorcerers in bards and street vendor stories who can destroy the enemy's ships and sails with just a few laughs and conversations, most sorcerers in reality do not have such strength, and most of the resources are monopolized by high-level sorcerers, so they can only scramble for the little scraps that come from the cracks in their hands.

The Warlock Brotherhood has never thought about how to improve this situation.

This is because high-level warlocks treat ordinary warlocks of low strength as mortals.

Therefore, they never thought about doing anything for those ordinary warlocks. They only cared about what these ordinary warlocks could do for them.

Therefore, the two sorceresses were very curious and wanted to know what Lin En would plan to do if he really succeeded in creating a large number of demon hunters in batches.

Facing the many eyes focused on him, Lin En smiled slightly.

He repeated what he had told Tissaia before, that if he helped Istrada, Istrada would promise to give him a piece of land in Kovir.

Except for a few people who knew the truth, such as Geralt and Tissaia, everyone else was shocked.

"Geralt, I remember you also participated in that escort mission. Is what that kid Linn said true?" Lambert looked at Geralt in shock.

Geralt nodded.

Eskar asked, "Do you think he will keep his promise?"

Geralt shook his head at first, then nodded. "I... I don't know, but Lynn thinks he will. I believe Lynn."

"Land, a piece of territory belonging to the witcher himself."

On the other side, the eyes of Reso, Serrit, and Oaks lit up, and a look of longing appeared on their faces involuntarily.

Even the headquarters during the old times of the Order - the Mograg Castle in the Kestral Mountains, was not strictly speaking the territory of the witchers, but a piece of unowned land occupied by the witchers.

That's why Alzu and Cosimo were able to continue their plan of training witchers in that castle.

This is even more true of the various schools that split from the old church.

It is for this reason that they need to work to support themselves.

But if you can get a piece of territory, it will be different.

Just like the canonized knight orders on the continent, they can obtain most of the labor output of their subjects even without engaging in production.

In this way, even if all monsters died out in the future and no one posted demon hunting commissions anymore, they wouldn't have to worry about going hungry.

Of course, Reso and the other two never thought about becoming anyone's master.

After all, Lin En is their employer now, and the head of the Thyssen family also reached an agreement with Lin En.

Although the Viper School is realistic, they have no rebellious thoughts. And through their contact with Lynn during this period, they have become more aware that this unreasonably young demon hunter is unfathomable and terrifying.

Ever since the headquarters of the Viper School was captured by the army of the usurper emperor of Nilfgaard, the ideal and goal of Letho and his men has been to rebuild the Viper School.

They never dared to imagine that the Witcher could obtain a territory like the Knights Templar.

It was Lin En who had an ideal that was even greater than theirs, and he was not just talking big, but was actually working towards this goal. Reso and the other two did not have any inappropriate thoughts at all, but instead had even greater respect for Lin En.
