The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 35 I have a plan! a big plan!

The Axis Sign allows the demon hunter to influence the minds of others, to charm and control them. The affected person will show obvious mental confusion and will forget the memory of the period of control after the sign ends.

Lin En asked, "Is there anyone in this Carbon Mountain who is dissatisfied with Great Elder Broval?"

The enchanted dwarf soldier answered honestly: "Yes... yes."

"Who is there?"

"A lot of people."

“Why are they unhappy?”

"Because that old bastard Brovar not only blocked his own ears and eyes, but he also wanted everyone else to do the same. He wanted everyone to follow his lead and pretend they didn't see the Inhumans being slaughtered by humans outside Mount Mahakam."

Lynn and Geralt exchanged a look.

Lin En then continued to ask, "Don't you know that it was Great Elder Brovar's excellent political skills that prevented Mahakam from falling into the same situation as the Hundred Flower Valley or other elven city-states?"

"Although Mahakam is nominally under the control of Temeria, it actually still retains a high degree of autonomy."

"There are no human troops stationed in the mountains, so the Temerians still have to pay real money when they buy things. Isn't that enough?"

The dwarf soldier, who was enchanted by the sign, said dryly.

"Of course it's not enough. This continent originally belonged to us, the non-human race. We should drive humans back into the sea."

"That slogan sounds so familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before." Lin En looked around and added, "But I heard that before humans landed, it was the elves who invaded your land outside the mountains and drove you into the Mahakam Mountains with a hail of arrows."

"When humans came to this continent, they only seized the elves' land and didn't fight the dwarves. So, there shouldn't be any deep-seated hatred between your two races, right?"

Neither dwarf soldier responded.

It’s not because the seal has been lifted, but because even they themselves don’t know how to answer.

Obviously, they were also being led by the rhythm.

So Lynn changed the question.

"So who is this 'adult' you're talking about?"

"I don't know. My cousin told me all this. He said that knowing this much is enough. It's not good to know too much or too much detail."

"What's your cousin's name? Where does he live? What does he do?"

When the dwarf soldiers answered Lynn's questions one by one, Lynn and Geralt released their control over them.

"You and your companions were distracted. Now, wake up."

Lynn snapped his fingers in front of the two dwarf soldiers.

The latter's eyes immediately regained clarity.

"Sorry, Master Demon Hunter, I seem to have been distracted. What were you talking about?"

Lynn smiled brightly, as if nothing had really happened.

"My companions and I are hungry and want to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Do you know which direction the cafeteria is?"

"Oh, the cafeteria, it's over there."

One of the dwarf soldiers pointed Lynn in a direction.

After saying thank you, Lynn and Geralt left.

After watching the two witchers leave, he couldn't help but say in surprise.

"I seemed to be distracted just now? Is it because I'm too tired recently?"

"Don't stand there, hurry up. If you stay away from the team for too long and get caught, you'll be whipped," his companion urged.

……

"Lin En, I can't help but suspect that you are the protagonist in the knight's story."

When the two of them walked a long way and noticed that there was no one else nearby, Geralt spread his hands and said, "Why else would there be trouble wherever we go?"

Lynn said helplessly: "Geralt, stop joking with me, this joke is not funny."

Lynn had no recollection of Mahakam's conspiracy.

Of course, this is also because his understanding of this world is mainly based on Geralt's perspective.

But although Geralt is the protagonist of the "story", it does not mean that the world revolves around Geralt.

Of course, the world will continue to turn in the land outside his reach.

However, according to Lin En's impression, since Mahakam has always been ruled by the Great Elder Broval, the conspiracy in Mahakam should have been resolved by Broval in the end.

Seeing Lynn looking thoughtful, Geralt asked, "What are you thinking about, Lynn?"

"I'm thinking, maybe we don't need to look for the dwarf soldier's cousin, but instead go directly to Brovar tomorrow and inform the Great Elder of this matter."

Lynn glanced at Geralt and immediately added before he could finish his words.

"I know that witchers are supposed to remain neutral, so I didn't plan to get involved in the investigation myself."

"Geralt, honestly, sometimes these outdated rules should be swept into the museum along with history."

"As you can see, Great Elder Broval treated us well and was quite polite. In this respect, he is far superior to some of the anthropomorphic northern kings."

"But if another more traditional elder comes, it's hard to say. He might not even let us leave Mahakam."

"So, I think even if I don't get involved, I should at least give Elder Broval a heads-up."

In fact, Lin En had another reason that he didn't say.

If Istrade could do business with Mahakam, why couldn't he?

When needed in the future, he can use this favor to his advantage.

After all, Lynn didn't intend to be a witcher who sold "a water ghost's head for half a crown" forever.

He has bigger dreams.

He has a plan! A big plan!

Geralt was no pedant.

The reason why he is always unwilling to get involved in these things is not because he is cowardly and submissive.

But it's because he was educated like this since he was a child.

That's why he is used to thinking according to this inertial way.

But when Lynn put forward a better and more reasonable suggestion, Geralt did not scold Lynn. Instead, after carefully considering the pros and cons, he agreed with Lynn's opinion.

Afterwards, the two went to the cafeteria, ate and drank their fill, and then returned to the guest room to sleep.

……

Lynn was awakened by the sound of fighting.

The moment he woke up, his first reaction was to touch the steel sword beside the bed.

When he saw the situation in the room clearly, all the tense muscles in his body relaxed.

No one broke in.

He put down the sword, got up from the bed, walked to the window and opened the curtains.

Just a few meters away, I saw two shirtless dwarfs fighting each other, brandishing weapons.

There was also a circle of dwarves standing around, cheering and applauding.

The sound came from that side.

Lynn's mouth twitched.

Oh shit!

I don’t know what these dwarves are thinking.

They actually built a training ground next to the guest rooms.

No wonder it's so noisy so early in the morning.

Lin En, who was woken up, lost his sleepiness.

I simply put on my clothes and left the guest room.

He walked out of the guest room and came to the training ground.

"What's going on?" he asked a random dwarf.

The dwarf crossed his arms and glanced at Lynn: "Did I disturb you, Master Witcher?"

Lynn gave a kind smile.

"No, I just like being woken up by noises. Otherwise, I might not be able to wake up until noon..."

"What do you think? I rode all day yesterday, up and down the mountain. I didn't get into bed until almost midnight. I was woken up again before I had slept for a few hours."
