The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 303: How can I, a demon hunter, be a vassal of the Drummond family?

It is necessary to satisfy the Quete family, but at the same time prevent the Drummond family from suffering too much loss.

Otherwise, if it causes internal strife in the family, it will be disastrous.

As for what he had said to his beloved son at the banquet before, about the blood feud between families and the sacrifices made.

In fact, to be honest, in the heart of "One-Eyed" Lugo, he doesn't care about those things at all.

Because that is already in the past.

If every grudge must be clearly calculated, then the Drummond family will not only have to settle accounts with the Quet family, but will also have to go to war with the Todalock family of Udvik Island.

After all, the Drummond family once ruled Udvik Island together with the Todalock family.

There were also some minor frictions between the two families.

Moreover, as a lord, he should not hesitate because of past hatred.

The vassals of the Drummond family have been clamoring to declare war on the Quet family and expel them all without leaving a single one.

But because of this, they were only vassals and not family heads.

However, the reason why he never did it was also because the vassal states in his family were so opposed to it that he could not just go ahead and do it without considering their opinions at all.

On the other hand, there is a lack of opportunity.

Now, he believes that the right opportunity is right in front of him.

"Master Lin En, looking at your expression, it's as if you've seen a ghost. Are you really that incredulous?"

"I really find it unbelievable. Logically speaking, shouldn't you be sworn enemies with the Quitt family no matter what happens?"

"One-Eye," Lugo explained with a smile.

"The laws of the Skellige Islands prohibit infighting among the major families of the islands. And, although I am reluctant to say this, I have to admit that the strength of the Drummond family is still slightly inferior to that of the Quet family."

"Both families live on Great Skellig Island. The benefits of cooperation between us and the Quet family will definitely outweigh the hostility between our two families."

"But what I'm worried about is that the Drummond family and the Quit family have already shed too much blood because of this fight, and there must be people on the Quit family side who are unwilling to reconcile."

"Furthermore, the Drummond family took the initiative to propose the settlement, which is equivalent to being cut off in disguise. To be honest, I'm a little worried that the Quet family will take advantage of the opportunity to make exorbitant demands."

The witcher seemed quite calm about One-Eye Lugo's worries.

"Can't you just ask someone to go to Keldra Castle and tell the head of the Quiet family that you want to meet him?"

"No matter what the outcome is, the stone has fallen. Isn't it better than you just daydreaming here?"

"One-Eye" Lugo nodded.

But a cunning look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Master Demon Hunter, what you said makes a lot of sense. I wonder if you are willing to accept this commission?"

"One-Eye" Lugo added, as if to make amends.

"Of course, I didn't mean to order the Master around on purpose. It's just that you know these rough guys under me can be used for fighting and killing, but asking them to deliver messages is almost like asking them to die."

"Besides, I'm worried about letting these brats go. What if they get too excited and turn 'reconciliation' into war? Wouldn't that be even worse?"

At first glance, these reasons given by "One-Eye" Lugo seem reasonable and there is nothing wrong with them.

But Lynn quickly thought of another candidate.

“Why don’t you let your son go?”

Although the performance and reaction of the future head of the Drummond family in "Madman" Lugo and Lin En's memory are completely opposite, isn't this the most suitable candidate?

Moreover, wouldn't it be more effective to show one's sincerity by sending one's own son?

Even if Madman Lugo brought a few members of the Drummond family with him, he would definitely be able to control his men and prevent them from causing trouble. "He...he's not suitable..."

At this moment, "One-Eye" Lugo suddenly hesitated and stammered.

Lynn looked at the other person's guilty expression for a few seconds, and then he suddenly realized.

Yes.

Although he had an innate liking for the Quitt family because of the original novel and the game, the Drummond family was ultimately a sworn enemy of the Quitt family. Moreover, Kelmure Castle had always been closed, with few merchants and travelers, and he didn't know much about the outside world.

In this situation, how could he dare to send his only precious son to the Quete family? If something unexpected happened, wouldn't the Drummond family be extinct?
After a brief period of deep thought, Lynn finally accepted the commission.

Anyway, he has almost completed the demon hunting commission on Great Skellige Island.

Now it's time to go to another island.

Although there is a port in the territory of the Drummond family, it is undoubtedly much more convenient to take a boat to other islands from the port of the Quet family.

Since we are going to Keldra Port, it’s okay to visit Keldra Castle as well.

Besides, he also wanted to see what the "Sea Boar" looked like when he was young.

Anyway, he is only responsible for conveying the message.

As for whether the two families can finally reach an agreement and to what extent they can reach an agreement, that is their own business.

"Thank you very much, Master."

Seeing that Lin En agreed, "One-Eyed" Lugo breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out a purse and handed it over.

It seems that he was well prepared.

Lin En didn't act pretentiously and took it. He didn't open it to look at it, but after weighing it, he found it was quite heavy.

He nodded and put it away.

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he prepared to leave.

But at this moment, "One-Eye" Lugo suddenly spoke again.

"Master, there is one more thing."

The witcher frowned slightly.

Stop the other person before he or she opens his or her mouth.

"Lord Lugo, let me make this clear. I am only responsible for conveying your wish to meet with Kratz. Anything else is none of my business. Also, I suggest you seize this opportunity for peace talks and not have any inappropriate thoughts."

Seeing that the witcher had misunderstood his meaning, One-Eye Lugo clarified.

"Master, what I am going to talk about next has nothing to do with the peace talks. It's about something else."

"Something else?"

Lynn's brow relaxed.

As long as he is not used as a lobbyist.

"One-Eye" Lugo took a new bottle of wine and filled it up for Lin En.

"I know that if we want to negotiate peace with the Quitt family, empty words alone won't do. We have to pay a price. No matter how much the price is, at least some of the land adjacent to the Quitt family must be returned to them."

Lynn took a sip and said, "Well, what's the problem?"

"Please let me finish, Master Demon Hunter," One-Eye Lugo continued, "As long as the Quet family doesn't go too far, I can return some of the land to them, but what about the farmers who lost their land?"
