The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 310 Wealth and honor, don’t forget each other

The country tavern was reduced to ruins, the flames had been extinguished, but black smoke still lingered above it.

Instead of escaping, the perpetrator stayed in the open space in front of the tavern.

"You still won't say anything?"

Chalimir sat on a chair brought out from the tavern, crossed his legs, and played with a dagger in his hand.

In front of him, the tavern owner was pinned to the ground by two heavily armored soldiers, unable to move.

But Chalimir could still see the unwillingness and anger in the other person's eyes.

But Charimier didn't take it to heart.

Who cares about the emotions of an ant?
"Look, what's the point of all this fuss? It's like we're a bunch of robbers and bandits. You should just tell us what you know, and then we'll leave."

"Not only will I pay you for the wine, but I'll also give you a reward. The Duchess of the Curved Coast has always kept her public and private lives separate, and the same is true for the knights who serve her."

"But the fact that you've fallen into this situation isn't due to our cruelty. You only have yourself to blame."

“So, I ask you again:”

"Where has the witcher known as Ged gone, the traitor who insulted the Duchess, conspired with the usurper, and committed other harmful crimes?"

"Tell the truth, and you can still live. Otherwise, anyone who gives him protection will be treated as an accomplice."

Before he could finish his words, Charimier suddenly tilted his head.

Avoid the bloody spit coming from the bottom up.

The tavern owner, who was being held down tightly, stared at Chalimir with hatred and roared.

"This is the Skellige Islands, not the Principality of the Arc Coast! Bastards working for a bitch, kill me now if you have the guts. Don't expect the islanders to betray their friends!"

Chalimir gestured with a cold look in his eyes: "I gave you a chance."

Two heavily armored soldiers grabbed the innkeeper and dragged him like a dog to the back of the burned-out country tavern.

Then a scream was heard.

Not long after, the two soldiers returned with more blood on their bodies.

But one of the soldiers held out a hand, clutching two pieces of parchment.

"Sir Knight, this was found on that islander."

"Ok?"

Charimier took the parchment.

One of them was a blueprint for a steel sword.

Charimier was not a blacksmith.

Although the design was ingenious, it was not the reason why they had traveled all the way to the Skellige Islands.

Therefore, he just glanced at it casually and let it go without paying much attention.

He immediately looked at the other parchment.

Then his eyes widened and his face showed ecstasy.

"Sir Knight?"

The two heavily armored soldiers were confused.

Could it be that the other piece of parchment contains the whereabouts of that mutant?

Otherwise, why would Charimire have such an expression?
"See for yourself."

Chalimir didn't explain, but handed the parchment over again.

When the two heavily armored soldiers searched him earlier, he did not look at it himself, but handed it directly to Charimire.

At this time, the parchment was taken back and the two of them came together and found that it was an IOU:
"I, Ged, a witcher of the Bear School, do hereby sign this document. On the evening of April 25th, Quint owed the innkeeper one hundred ducats from a gambling game (Note: The kind innkeeper even rounded off the difference for me).

Since I don't have that much money on me right now, I'm using the Bear School's steel sword blueprints as collateral. I'll use the bounty to buy back the collateralized blueprints once I return from Etnir Castle."

"Go and call the guide."

After a while, a rat-faced Skelliger was pushed in front of Charimir.

"Sir, you called me?"

"Do you know where Castle Etnil is?"

"That was the castle of a branch of the Tursek family on the island of Great Skellig. I heard it was abandoned after a monster appeared."

When the guide said this, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked terrified.

"Sir, you are not planning to go to that castle, are you? That's not possible. Even the Tursek family can't deal with the monsters in the castle. We are going to die."

Charimir frowned and shouted harshly, "Quiet! Who told you we're going to work for the family of the archipelago?"

Then, he seemed to be talking to himself, or to the guide.

"Since the parchment mentioned that the traitor was heading to Etnir Castle, this means that the lord of the Tursek branch family hired the mutant to eliminate the monsters from the family."

"This means that as long as we get to Etnir Castle ahead of time, we can stop that mutant freak and make it impossible for him to escape."

……

the other side.

Lynn and Ged had just arrived at the port of Keldra on the island of Great Skellige by boat, and the two were drinking and eating in the tavern in the port.

"Aren't the Turseks the rulers of Little Skellig? How come they have a castle on Great Skellig?"

Lynn had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

It’s just that I didn’t have the time before, and now I have the time to say it.

Gerd grabbed a large piece of bone and meat with both hands and ate it until his mouth was full of oil.

"Because the Tursek family is divided into the main family and the branch family, Little Skellig was originally the territory of the main family, and the branch family's territory has always been on Great Skellig."

"But later, due to the attack of the human-faced monster bird, the branch family was forced to abandon the castle and territory and had to go to Great Skellig Island to seek refuge with the main family."

"The reason Earl Thorgil hired me to clean up Etnir Castle is probably because he wanted to return to his homeland."

It turned out to be the case.

Lynn nodded in realization.

He took another sip of beer.

Can understand.

They have already separated.

Going back to my family is actually like living under someone else's roof.

Even if the family doesn't mind, it will always be difficult for me to survive on someone else's territory.

Therefore, if you want to make your family grow further, you must take back your territory.

If he did nothing, within a few years his family might become vassal of his own family.

It's no wonder that Count Thorgil entrusted Gerd with the task of clearing out the monsters in the family castle.

Thinking of this, Lin En made a little joke casually.

"Since the earl relies on you so much, after we clear out Etnil Castle and his territory, perhaps he will grant you a village or two and make you a vassal. From then on, you won't have to live a life of poverty and hardship anymore."

"When you become rich in the future, don't forget your old brother."

However, what Gerd said next made Lynn stunned.
