The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 291 I’m not being modest, you should seek help from someone else
"One-Eye" Lugo was a little surprised by Lynn's rejection.

In his opinion, how could working for those country folk be comparable to serving the lord?
How many people want to help the lord share his worries, but they haven't had the blessing yet.

He still wants to fight for it again.

"If it's about compensation, that can be discussed..."

"This has nothing to do with the reward. It's simply because assassination is not a respectable job," Lynn thought for a moment and gently reminded him, "Lord Lugo, the people of Skellige love to hear rumors, the songs of bards, and the stories passed down from mouth to mouth."

"Then can you name any famous swordsman, bounty hunter, or mercenary who has ever assassinated someone?"

In this era, being the chief of intelligence is one thing, but personally carrying out the assassination is another.

Throughout the history of the continental countries, there have been many nobles who served as intelligence chiefs and held great power.

But these nobles, without exception, would not allow their clean white gloves to be stained with a trace of blood.

For things like this, they always let their subordinates do it.

For example, in the original novel, Leo Bonhart, who is the ceiling of human combat power, is just a bounty hunter.

In fact, with his superb swordsmanship, if he was willing to take on assassination jobs, he would definitely earn more than being a bounty hunter.

But no matter how notorious and infamous Bonnet was, he was unwilling to help the nobles assassinate their rival nobles.

Besides, in the Skellige Islands, people sing about warriors who bravely fight on the battlefield. When have you ever seen a ballad praising an assassin?
If he took this job, the stigma of assassination would follow him in the future, just like the title of "King Slayer" followed Jaime Lannister.

Even if "One-Eyed" Lugo didn't pass it on, his handle would still be in the hands of the other party.

You can only listen to what the other party says.

Lastly, and most importantly, this is not reasonable.

The Quitts are locals, while the Drummonds are outsiders.

Helping "One-Eyed" Lugo is tantamount to aiding and abetting evil.

Lin En would never do something that would betray his conscience and cause him to suffer mental exhaustion every moment when he thinks about it in the future.

"One-Eye" Lugo looked a little unhappy when he saw Lin En's firm attitude.

indeed.

Just as Lin En thought, his purpose was indeed to kill the young head of the Quet family, Kratz Quet.

In this way, when the Quet family was leaderless, he could take the opportunity to lead his troops north, annex the Quet family's territory, and monopolize the Great Skellig Island.

But he can't use his own people for this matter, he has to find outsiders.

So, he thought of Lin En, who has been in the spotlight recently.

Of course, he would not be like the Voodoo Gang, who would just find a random foot binding outside, do the job, and then sell Lin En out regardless of whether he was there or not.

What he was thinking was that he would find a position for Lin En in his own territory, such as captain of the guard or something like that.

But since Lynn doesn't want to, forget it.

He was worried that if Lin En was pushed too far, he would turn to Kratz Quitt and join forces with him to deal with him.

So "One-Eyed" Lugo gave up this plan and changed his request.

"My son, Lugo the Mad, wants to be the greatest warrior the Drummond family has ever known, so he is planning an expedition."

"But the purpose of his expedition was neither to plunder the coast nor to loot the monastery. Instead, he intended to clear the evil spirits entrenched in Resident Evil."

Lynn wondered.

"Resident Evil? What kind of place is that?"

"It's a terrible place, a cursed place..." One-Eye Lugo said with a pained expression, as if he didn't want to recall it. "I can't tell you the specific details, because no one has ever come out alive after entering Resident Evil, so naturally, no one knows what's inside."

Lin En also felt that the name did not sound like an auspicious place.

"If that place is so bad, why would your son risk going there?"

"One-Eye" Lugo said helplessly: "His nickname is "Madman". How else do you think this nickname came from?"

This is true.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Since it wasn't about aiding and abetting evil, but rather a demon-hunting commission, Lin En readily agreed. "Okay, but I want two thousand ducats as a reward, how's that?"

"Okay, but my son can't lose an arm or a leg. A few more scars doesn't matter, but he can't become disabled."

Two thousand ducats is equivalent to approximately one thousand six hundred orens.

Considering that even the King of Temeria only paid Geralt a mere 3,000 orens.

As one of the lords who ruled the Skellige Islands, his willingness to give out 1,600 orens was enough to show his sincerity and how much he valued his son.

This reward is indeed not particularly generous, but it is estimated that the other party has also suffered a heavy loss.

Even if you ask for more, the other party won’t be able to give it to you.

"Okay, but I have one condition."

"You said, as long as it's not too much, I will try my best to agree to it."

"Everything found in Resident Evil belongs to me."

A place like this is bound to contain valuable things.

Of course, some of them might be cursed.

But ordinary people would avoid curses, but demon hunters might not.

Because demon hunters are experts in removing curses.

Besides, if all else fails, isn’t there still Tissaia, the near-legendary high-level sorceress?

"One-Eye" Lugo is no fool either.

He quickly guessed what Lynn was thinking.

But he also knew that everything in that place was probably cursed.

No matter how good something is, you have to be alive to spend it.

Thus, the two sides reached an agreement happily.

"One-Eye" Lugo shouted out the door, "Guard."

A guard walked in: "Master of the family?"

"One-Eye," Lugo pointed at Lynn.

"Take the Demon Hunter Master to see my son and tell that stupid boy that this is the helper his father found for him."

……

"I don't need any help. That old man treats me like a child. He's so self-righteous that he thinks I can't do anything?!"

In another room in Kelmure Castle.

A young man who looked somewhat similar to "One-Eye" Lugo shouted at the guards.

"Of course, that's not what the Patriarch meant..."

The guard hurriedly explained.

But the young man obviously didn't listen to anything.

While the two were arguing, Lynn was also observing the young man.

"Madman" Lugo, the future head of the Drummond family.

In The Witcher 3, the fate of this family head will also be different depending on the choices Geralt makes in the game.

As if noticing the witcher's gaze, "Madman" Lugo suddenly glared at him fiercely.

"What are you looking at?"

Lynn met the other person's gaze without hesitation.

"You're 'Madman' Lugo, right? I heard that although you're young, no one in the Drummond family can rival you."
