The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 311: How did you insult her? Just repeating what she did? That's it?

"I won't stay long until things are over here. I love the Skellige Islands, but I don't want to cause trouble for the people here."

Ged's words made Lynn curious.

"Trouble? What kind of trouble can you possibly cause?"

Although his contact with Gede was not long.

But Gede has a generous and casual personality, yet he is also very considerate. He always thinks of others and has a sense of boundaries. He will not be too familiar and cause discomfort to others.

Lin En really couldn't imagine that such a person would make enemies with others.

Gede put down the big bone and meat that he had eaten clean, and hesitated.

"It's all in the past...it's a long story."

Lin En smiled. "But we have plenty of time, don't you think?"

"That's true... Okay, but before I tell you my story, I have to ask you a question: Do you know the Principality of the Curved Coast?"

"Yes, remember it's near the Gulf of Praxida. It borders Targo, Maliur, Creyden, and Kangon to the north, and Redania to the south. The country is ruled by a duke and mints its own currency."

"Hmm?" At this point, Lin En looked at Gede again, "You don't mean to say that you were forced to be involved in the civil war in the Principality of the Arc Coast a year ago, do you?"

Lin En didn't know much about the country of the Arc Coast Principality.

This country was founded by the first humans to land. Like Kovir, this country was originally part of Redania.

But later, a large amount of mineral deposits were discovered in Kovir, which made this originally cold and poor country suddenly become very rich.

The Counts ruling Kovir then declared independence from Redania.

Naturally, Redania could not accept this, so it joined forces with Kaedwen's army to attack Kovir.

The result was surprising, but Kovir won a great victory.

This eventually led to the signing of the First Treaty of Long Exeter, from which Kovir and Povis officially became independent nations.

From that time on, the Arc Coast also separated from Redania and was incorporated into Kovir and Povis.

Many years passed like this until the "Bovis Schism" broke out. Under the manipulation of ulterior motives, Creyden, Maliur, Bayfield, Kangorn and the Arc Coast all became independent from Kovir.

Since then, the Crooked Coast has continued to exist as a principality to this day.

However, just one year ago, a major event occurred in the Principality of the Arc Coast:
A civil war broke out in the principality, and the two sides in the civil war were the ruler of the principality at that time and the ruler's daughter.

Lynn was not clear about the specific process, but he only knew that the ruler's daughter overthrew her father and became the Duchess of the Arc Coast Principality.

Originally, Lin En just said this casually.

But when he saw the expression on Gerd's face, he was stunned.

The latter's expression at this moment confirmed that his guess was correct.

"you……"

Ged took a long swig of beer.

"Before the civil war broke out, I once did something for the old duke... Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that kind of thing. I just helped him get rid of the monsters in the city sewers."

“After the commission was completed, I stayed in the city for a few more days. When I was about to leave, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of me.”

"They took me to see a woman. That woman was the old duke's daughter and now the duchess of the Curved Coast."

"Helena Lange Hale, that's her name, and she wants me to stand with her and help her kill the old duke."

"We in the Bear School just don't have emotions, but that doesn't mean we'll do anything. We're not killers, so I rejected that woman and scolded her harshly."

Lin En asked curiously, "Why did you scold her?"

Gerd thought for a moment and said, "I scolded her in front of her about what she had done."

"I guess she may not be used to your harsh words."

"Indeed, that night, two assassins came to the tavern where I was staying. They bribed the tavern owner and poisoned my food and drinks. Unfortunately, they didn't know that a witcher's senses are very sharp and he can smell the poison without even consuming it." He will never let go of any grudge.

This fits Lynn's stereotype of the aristocracy.

"What then?"

So Gerd continued.

"I killed the two assassins but spared the tavern owner. Not only because he had children and a wife to support, but also because I could understand that a commoner like him couldn't afford to refuse the nobles' request. He had no other choice, so I don't blame him."

"Then, I fled the city that very night, without waiting for daybreak. I headed south, and only after crossing the Buena River and setting foot on the land of Redania did I finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Then I came to the Skellige Islands."

……

After eating and drinking, Lynn and Gerd left Keldor Port.

Restart the journey.

However, before going to Castle Ethnir, Ged suggested that they first visit the country tavern where he first came to Great Skellig.

"The owner of that hometown tavern doesn't look like a Skellige native at all. I even suspect he's actually a dwarf who's been cast in a gigantic spell. I've never met an islander who can play Gwent so well."

"If I hadn't caught him cheating, I would have thought he was cheating."

Lynn hummed noncommittally.

"Could it be that your card skills are too bad?"

Gerd laughed, but was not annoyed.

"Anyway, I owed him a hundred ducats, but unfortunately I was short of money at the time and could not come up with that much. I had no choice but to leave the blueprints for the steel swords of our school, which I had with me at the time, there as collateral."

Lynn: "..."

Even he couldn't help but press his temples.

"Luckily, you Bear School members are relatively indifferent to emotions. Even if Anahad (the Bear School's founder) knew about this, he wouldn't do anything to you. If Vesemir knew that some little wolf cub dared to use the Wolf School's weapon blueprints as collateral for a gambling debt..."

"I don't know how many belts I'll break."

Gede felt a little nervous, but he still spoke in a tough manner.

"Hey, hey, hey, the more I listen, the more uncomfortable I feel. It's as if I'm some unforgivable sinner. Besides, I only mortgaged the blueprints there, not actually sold them. I'll redeem them as soon as I get the reward, right?"

Lin En sighed, "Okay, don't gamble anymore. You know, it's hard to find a noble as generous and kind as the lord of the archipelago on the mainland. Don't lose all the bounty you worked so hard to earn."

He didn't know how much of what he said the other party could understand.

Although he knew that witchers were used to living one day at a time, he was still deeply moved when he saw it with his own eyes.

Maybe it was because he had too much self-control, he really couldn't understand how someone like Gerd would spend all his money.

If you say that witchers are so rich and there is no need to save money, then forget it.

But the vast majority of demon hunters have no money to repair their damaged armor, and no money to buy the materials for mixing potions and alchemy bombs...

But they invest their limited money into endless foot washing.

Of course, Lynn didn't mean to blame Gerd.

After all, even the Wolf School, which focuses on ideological and moral education, cannot teach Vesemir how to spend money lavishly.

Even when the old man himself was young, he lived a life of drinking and enjoying life today, and spent decades in a daze.

As they chatted idly like this, they gradually got closer and closer to the country tavern that Gerd had mentioned.

But when the ruins of the tavern came into the witcher's sight, Ged's smile froze.
