The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 286 Winter is coming
After getting off the boat, Lynn found a local and asked for the location of the tavern.

Then we came to the tavern.

Entertainment activities in the feudal era were pitifully scarce. The nobles at least had other entertainment activities, but the common people at the bottom of society just wanted to stay in the tavern after a day of work.

To make an inappropriate analogy, the pub is equivalent to the Internet cafe of this era.

It was still daytime when Lynn arrived at Keldra Port, so there were not many people in the tavern and it seemed very deserted.

The tavern owner took one look at Lin En and recognized from his attire that he was not from the islands but from the mainland.

However, the Quet family has always pursued a policy of friendly and equal diplomacy with foreign countries, unlike other families on the archipelago that are as closed.

So the tavern owner didn't seem to mind, but instead asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Give me a glass of your best wine," Lin En sat down at the bar, looked back at the patrons sitting in groups of three or four in the tavern, and added, "Give them each a glass as well, and put it on my bill."

Such a heroic move immediately caused cheers.

It also made the tavern owner look much better.

After all, who doesn’t like having a big, generous customer take care of their business?

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Lin En asked the doubts in his heart.

"When I came here, I saw a funeral being held at the harbor? Whose was it?"

The tavern owner did not hide it, as it was common knowledge in the archipelago anyway.

"It's Princess Pavetta of Cintra and her husband, Donnie."

"They were on their way back to Cintra from Skellige when they were caught in a storm. It is said that not even a piece of wood was left of their ship."

"That was such a tragedy." Lynn's face was full of regret.

This is a lie.

In fact, he knew very well that the shipwreck that Pavetta and Donnie encountered was not caused by the storm at all, but a man-made problem.

Sure enough, while he was taking action, the wheel of history was also rolling forward.

He sighed, "Winter is coming."

The tavern owner was stunned for a moment.

"Guest, what did you say?"

"No, nothing," Lynn continued. "By the way, I'm actually a demon hunter. I came to the archipelago to see if there's any work - I mean, fighting monsters."

Upon hearing this, the tavern owner looked at Lin En again.

"Witcher?"

The archipelago is far away from the mainland, so there are even fewer witchers coming to the archipelago.

However, the people of the islands have basically no prejudice against witchers. Although they are curious about the cat eyes of witchers, they do not hate them as much as the people on the mainland.

"Here are some commissions left by the lord's men when they passed by. Perhaps you could take a look at them."

Lynn thanked him and took the parchment from the tavern owner.

The target locations were all located in the northern part of Great Skellige Island, where farmers in the Quet family's territory were facing the threat of monsters.

The Skellige Islands are separated from the northern kingdoms by the sea, and few witchers arrive there, so there are more monsters lurking on the islands.

Fortunately, the lords of the archipelago are much more humane than the nobles of the northern countries. If the accumulated problems are too many and too serious, they will organize soldiers to fight against them.

Lynn collected all the parchments.

Ordered another meal.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he left the tavern, rode on Nidhoggr, and headed straight for the target location of the demon hunting mission.

The Druid's Ring he wanted to find on this trip was on the island of Great Skellige.

But he doesn't need to rush there.

Anyway, the Druid Ring can't escape.

It won’t be too late to go after I finish these demon hunting commissions.

Linn was definitely going to the Druid's Ring, but that wasn't the only reason he came to the Skellige Islands.

Unlike the mainland nations, the Skellige people still retain their piratical practices.

Novigrad will be his sooner or later, not to mention the territory of Kovir that he will get from Istrad in the future.

This meant that maritime trade was vital to him.

Therefore, he had another purpose for coming to the Skellige Islands this time, which was actually to establish good relations with the major families in the islands and become familiar with them.

It will be convenient for you in the future.

……

So, in the next six months, Lin En traveled to all six major islands.

He can be found everywhere, in forests, mountains, lakeside, and caves.

The people of the islands are closed, barbaric, and even a bit bloodthirsty.

But they admire the power of force and respect warriors.

Therefore, every time Lin En did something chivalrous, he left behind the name of Lin En of the Wolf School.

Let his name spread throughout the Skellige Isles.

In addition to the demon hunting commission, he also tried his best to integrate into the islanders in other aspects.

Like mainlanders, the islanders enjoy horse racing, boxing, and the card game Gwent.

Lynn's steed is a Kovir horse carefully selected by Isterad, one of the best horses on the continent. He has master-level riding skills and knows how to save horsepower during competitions. He can control the horse so that both he and the horse are of one mind.

Therefore, he is always far ahead in every horse race.

Not to mention boxing matches.

The Skellige people are indeed stronger, braver, and more fierce than the mainland people.

But all of this will be defeated in the face of strength and skills.

In the face of his current strength, the speed of these island warriors was like slow motion, and Lin En could easily defeat them.

Without being touched by them.

As for Gwent, the islanders were no match for him.

Countless people have lost to him.

However, Lynn knew that trying to win over others too hard would only backfire.

So whether it's horse racing, boxing or Gwent, after making a big profit, he will keep half for himself and return the remaining half to the losers.

The people of the islands are straightforward and have bad tempers, and they don't have many ulterior motives.

And they worship individual heroism.

Like Lin En, who can ride a horse, fight, drink, and most importantly, have a heart as broad as the sea...

He looked very much like the warriors in the heroic epics that have been passed down from Skellige.

It is most to the taste of the people of the islands.

Lynn's move easily made him famous.

His name was already sung among many people before they even knew him.

Some people in the tavern began to sing his deeds spontaneously.

……

That day, Lynn received another commission and came to a mine in the central part of Great Skellig Island.

Because of his recent fame, the entire island of Great Skellige knew that a witcher had recently arrived on the island.

So people enthusiastically filled the notice board with demon hunting commissions.

He saw this job on a notice board while resting at a nearby country inn.
