The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 280 When the Leshan Giant Buddha heard about this, he almost gave up his seat to Regis.

Unlike Dettlaff who found a job in the city, Regis went back to his old job in a village outside the city.

There are several villages outside Novigrad. Those who cannot buy houses or find jobs in the city stay outside the city, and over time these villages have gathered together.

They were responsible for supplying meat, vegetables and fruit to the city. They worked very hard but earned a meager income.

Farmers are at the bottom of society no matter which country they are in. Even though Novigrad's economy is actually much better than other countries in the north, the lives of farmers living outside the city are only slightly better.

So, when they had a headache or fever, they could only go to a barefoot doctor or endure it.

There are hospitals in the city, but the fees are too expensive and are simply beyond the reach of farmers like them.

It was at this time that Regis came.

He built a small hut between several villages, and often went out to collect herbs and treat people.

He only charged a small fee, but the potions he mixed always worked.

Sianna was puzzled as to why Regis was unwilling to raise the price higher. After all, with his level of skill, he would never have to worry about having no patients.

But Regis told Sienna that all the alchemical materials he used were taken from nature and he was just nature's porter.

Sianna couldn't understand Regis's actions.

Until she went out every day to buy groceries for Regis, no matter where she went, people would greet her enthusiastically, the aunt selling vegetables was unwilling to take her money, and there were often things left at the door of the cottage that no one knew who had sent them.

This slowly made Sianna understand somewhat vaguely why Regis did this.

Knowing that everyone was doing well when he was away, Lin En felt relieved.

So he planned to go to the port to find a boat to the Skellig Islands the next day, but that night an uninvited guest suddenly visited Lynn's villa.

She has long silver hair that falls to her shoulders and she is wearing a gorgeous robe, but the design of the upper body is very bold and open, revealing large areas of snow-white on her chest, which makes people can't help but feast their eyes.

When Lin En saw the other person, he recognized her at a glance.

Keira Metz, like Triss, is a royal advisor to Temeria.

Lynn invited her to sit in the reception room, took out the rosé wine produced in her own estate and poured her a glass.

Seeing that the sorceress was only focused on tasting the wine and had no intention of telling her purpose, Lin En had to take the initiative to ask.

"Are you so impatient? Master Lin En, do I have to have something to ask for when I come to see you? Can't I just come to see you because I heard rumors about you?"

While gently shaking the goblet, Kayla showed off her charm unscrupulously, with a smile that would make most men fall in love with it.

But Lynn is not most men, and this smile has no effect on him.

"Of course, now that you've seen me in person, what do you think?"

"You are indeed handsome, tall, and charming. I now understand why Triss protects you so well."

When Lynn heard Triss's name, his expression changed immediately.

"You mean Triss...what happened to her? Is she in trouble?"

A glance at Lynn, who was visibly nervous, made Kayla feel a surge of jealousy.

In fact, given her identity and status, there is never a shortage of suitors around her skirt.

But Kayla was very clear-headed and knew that these suitors pursued her either for their own face and desire to conquer so that they could brag about it to the sky; or to improve their own class status.

In short, it’s all for profit.

If I get hurt...

Or let's put it this way, don't say that she was hurt. If they found out that they could get something better by kicking her, Kayla believed they would do it without hesitation.

But the incredibly handsome demon hunter in front of him was not pretending to be worried about his colleague.

This made Keira jealous of Triss's good luck and envious of Triss for finding such a good partner.

Looking at the extremely nervous Lin En, Kayla originally wanted to tease him again, but she no longer had the mood to do so and spoke honestly.

"Her? No, she's fine. It's just that Temeria has been having some trouble lately."

Next, through Kayla's narration, Lynn learned the whole story:

Between Temeria and Redania lies the Pontar River.

In the swamps between two tributaries of the Pontar River, there once existed a small country called "Embronia".

But that was a long time ago.

The Kingdom of Embronia ceased to exist half a century ago, and for good reason.

Under normal circumstances, governments and societies, whether kingdoms, principalities or other forms, are mostly well-ordered and in good condition.

This system may falter occasionally, but it always works.

In most countries, the ruling class works hard to govern and rule, rather than stealing wealth through theft, gambling, and selling silver.

Among the social elite, only a very small number of people think that chaos in the world is better than harmony and prosperity.

Among the workers and peasants, only a small number are complete idiots who only think about today and today's vodka, but are unable to understand with their degraded intelligence what "tomorrow" and "tomorrow's vodka" represent.

Most priests do not corrupt minors or defraud money from the people. Instead, they live in temples and devote their whole body and soul to the gods, hoping to understand the unsolved mysteries of their beliefs.

Psychopaths, freaks, crazy people and fools will stay away from politics, will not aspire to important positions in government and management, and will only be busy messing up their own lives.

A country fool would squat behind a barn and not expect to be a tribune.

——At least that’s the case in most countries.

But the Kingdom of Embronia was not among the majority. It was the polar opposite of the other nations in all of these respects, and in other respects as well.

As a result, the country gradually declined and eventually disappeared completely.

Its powerful neighbors, Temeria and Redania, did everything they could to facilitate this situation.

As a polity, Embronia was a failure, but its land was a great wealth.

The country lies in the alluvial valley of the Pontar River, where silt from floods has been deposited over centuries.

Over time, the silt formed bog soil, which is fertile soil rich in nutrients and allows for high agricultural yields.
