The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 292 Young people are just full of energy
Hearing the witcher say this, the future head of the Drummond family could not help but fold his arms, puff out his chest, and a confident expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, you want to compete with me?"

"No, I just thought that maybe you do know how to wield an axe and shield, but I'm curious..."

"What? Don't speak half sentences!"

Lynn smiled.

"Can your axe hit an incorporeal enemy? Can your shield block an attack that penetrates a wall?"

"Madman" Lugo frowned.

The answer is of course impossible.

Even Modoff, the ancestor of the Drummond family, could not have done such a thing.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"You don't know about demon spirits?"

"Demon spirit?"

Lynn spread her hands.

"They are evil spirits that are like mist, without substance, and are filled with resentment towards the living. Their attacks can penetrate walls, and swords, axes, and spears cannot harm them at all."

"So, do you think that places like Resident Evil, where few living people venture, might be haunted by demons? Do you think you'd need a demon hunter to help you?"

"Madman" Lugo couldn't help but gasp at first, and then he was shocked after hearing the witcher in front of him introduce himself.

"Demon Hunter? Are you the Demon Hunter Master who recently cleared out all the monsters on the island?"

He looked Lin En up and down carefully and said: "You look thinner than I thought. I thought you would be stronger."

In fact, Lin En is not as skinny as a bamboo pole.

It's just that he is not a big muscle man.

In the eyes of the Skellige people, a warrior should be a big, strong man with broad shoulders and a big waist.

After confirming Lynn's identity, "Madman" Lugo's attitude towards Lynn changed 180 degrees.

He was also warmly entertained.

Two days later, the group, fully equipped, left Kelmure Castle and headed for Resident Evil.

In addition to Lynn and "madman" Lugo, Bjorn, Floki and Judith also went on the adventure together.

All three were soldiers of the Drummond family, and all of them volunteered to join the great expedition of "Madman" Lugo.

On the way to Resident Evil, Lin En made a new discovery:
Lugo's nickname "Madman" did not come from his madness, but because his father thought he was crazy because he did not conform to the Drummond family's philosophy.

You know, all the successive heads of the Drummond family wanted to monopolize the Great Skellige Island.

But "Madman" Lugo wants to put aside the dispute with the Quet family and jointly develop Great Skellig Island.

In order to resolve the long-standing feud between the Drummond family and the Quit family, he was even willing to cede the disputed territory with the Quit family.

But his idea was naturally not approved by his father.

In order to convince his father, "Madman" Lugo planned this expedition.

The location of Resident Evil is just to the east of the Drummond family, cutting off the possibility of the Drummond family developing in this direction.

Therefore, if "Madman" Lugo eliminated the evil spirits in the Resident Evil and allowed the Drummond family to take over all the lands in the eastern part of Great Skellige Island, "Madman" Lugo felt that these lands would be enough to make up for the territories given to the Quet family.

What's more, if the Drummond family can work together with the Quit family, they can gain more benefits.

After talking with "Mad Man" Lugo, Lynn noticed that at this time "Mad Man" Lugo was clearly a person who presented facts and made sense.

Then why did he become a paranoid in The Witcher 3 who would rather go along with the Nilfgaardians than accept the leadership of the Quet family?

After two days of rushing, everyone finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the evil castle was located.

Looking at the castle standing on the mountain, the group did not go up the mountain immediately, but found a suitable place to set up camp. While everyone else was preparing for tonight's camping, Lin En went to the castle alone to observe.

Soon, the time came to night.

The expedition team sat around a blazing campfire.

But the atmosphere at this time was different from usual.

In the past, the Skellige people had always had loud noises and beer at dinner, but now there was neither.

No one spoke, it was unusually quiet.

"Why don't you say anything?"

"Madman" Lugo tore off a large piece of meat, glanced around, and found that everyone else was eating silently with a strange expression, so he couldn't help but ask.

Floki raised his head and looked over: "Sir, do you have to use such a dangerous method?"

"What do you want to say?" "Madman" Lugo frowned as he heard the hidden meaning in his subordinates' words.

Floki exchanged glances with Bjorn and Judith, then mustered up his courage and continued.

"I just think that to convince your father, you don't have to clear the castle of evil spirits. There are other ways... For example, you can plunder the coastline of the Nilfgaard Empire."

"Crazy" Lugo did not answer.

His gaze turned to the other two.

"You all think so too?"

Judith lowered her head.

I didn’t dare to meet the eyes of “madman” Lugo.

But Bjorn nodded firmly.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can go back to the castle as soon as tomorrow morning comes."

Floki and Bjorn were both taken aback. "Master Lugo, what about you?"

"Madman" Lugo tore off another piece of meat.

"The decision I made will not change. If you want to go back, you can go back on your own."

The two looked at each other again and lowered their heads.

"Then we won't go back either... I take back my previous proposal. Please allow us to fight alongside you."

In this age when rituals and music have not yet completely collapsed, people often regard many other things as more important than life.

Especially for the Skellige people, who admire fighting, warriors, and poetry, deserting from the battlefield means shame.

What's more, he abandoned the lord's son and ran away.

If they really dare to do this, the shame will accompany them for the rest of their lives and will never be washed away.

By that time, being beheaded would be a mercy.

In the Skellige Islands, there is a most cruel punishment, commonly known as "Blood Eagle".

Anyone sentenced to the "Blood Eagle" punishment will try their best to commit suicide before the execution, otherwise they will die slowly in long pain.

Floki and Bjorn never had the chance to see it with their own eyes, but even just hearing about it scared them so much that they had nightmares for a long time.

If he escaped, he would be punished as a "blood eagle", so it would be better to die in battle with the lord's son. At least he would have some honor.

"Well, I agree." Seeing that the two had changed their minds, "Madman" Lugo nodded.

It also meant that he forgave the two people for their previous transgression.

Then the atmosphere fell silent again.
