The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 40 Going deep underground
The questions Lin En wanted to ask were mainly how these miners discovered the abandoned mine and how they got sick?
Did they see any monsters in the mines, or a woman covered in rashes and blisters, with rats running around?

Their answers were pretty much what Broval told Lynn.

They discovered the abandoned mine when they were opening a new mine tunnel.

Because of the discovery of refined gold ore in abandoned mines.

Brovard ordered them to continue mining.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and some people started to get sick.

But in the initial stage, it did not attract attention.

Until all the miners who entered the abandoned mines developed rashes and blisters on their bodies.

Only then did Broval realize that the situation was not good.

It was also at that time that these sick miners were evacuated.

And after several twists and turns, he was finally settled here.

Broval locked them up here, but he didn't completely abandon them.

Three meals a day were delivered to them, and someone was sent to take care of them before.

However, the people who took care of them soon developed the same symptoms.

So, later on, no one dared to enter here anymore.

As for what would happen to them if the situation continued to deteriorate, they had no idea.

It's just speculation that they might have been killed and their bodies burned.

But there are also people who would rather all this happen as soon as possible than the current situation where life is worse than death.

After asking all the questions, Lynn examined them all again.

Soon, he discovered the problem.

Each of these sick miners, a dwarf, carries the power of the curse.

Maybe ordinary people can't perceive it.

But in the eyes of the demon hunter, it was very obvious.

He said to himself.

"Sure enough, this is not an ordinary plague, it's a curse."

"Broval was right to keep them here."

"If we don't isolate them, it won't be long before the whole of Mahakam is infected."

"This is a curse. Even the most skilled pharmacist can't do anything about it."

"It seems that the only way to lift the curse on them is to eliminate the Plague Witch in the abandoned mine."

……

After coming out of the isolation area.

Lynn returned to the guest room.

Geralt didn't return until evening.

Sadly, Geralt gained nothing.

The abandoned mine has been closed, roadblocks have been set up, and people have been stationed outside to guard it.

Since he was told that the abandoned mine could only be entered but not exited, Geralt did not rush in.

However, he found out after asking the dwarf soldiers patrolling and guarding outside.

The soldiers guarding outside the abandoned mine were not infected.

This is consistent with Lynn's findings.

It also confirms Lynn's idea that "the spread of disease comes from a curse."

It seems that only by entering the cursed area of ​​the abandoned mine will one be entangled by the curse.

……

The next day.

He and Geralt went to visit Brovar again.

This time, the two finally gave a positive answer.

"Your Excellency, Great Elder, after careful consideration, we are willing to accept your commission."

Brovar was naturally very happy. Mahakam has been closed to the outside world for many years.

It was so hard to get two witchers to come to the mountain unexpectedly. If we missed them, it would be hard to say when the next witcher would come to the mountain.

"That's great, Master Demon Hunter. It's a wise choice. Don't worry, I promise to honor the rewards I promised yesterday."

"Of course we trust the Great Elder's credibility, but this commission is different from previous ones. The monsters we need to deal with are also extraordinary. Our strength alone is somewhat insufficient, so we need your support."

Brovard felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

Although he also had a premonition that the monster in the abandoned mine would not be so easy to deal with.

But unexpectedly, even the two demon hunters said so.

Therefore, he readily agreed: "Okay, Master, just tell me directly."

Geralt took out a list of the materials he needed that he had compiled yesterday.

Considering that the upcoming battle is a tough one, we cannot be careless at all.

Therefore, all the auxiliary means of the demon hunter need to be put to use.

Such as sword oil, magic potions, and the most indispensable alchemical bombs.

The above can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the demon hunter.

Sadly, due to their general poverty, few witchers can afford to use these methods on every hunt.

After all, this mission is for the public, so it is reasonable to ask the government for reimbursement.

Perhaps Mount Mahakam didn't have all the materials Geralt needed, but he'd gather as much as he could.

Anyway, the plague spirit is trapped in the abandoned mine and can't get out, so they have plenty of time and can slowly prepare.

……

While waiting for Broval's men to help gather the materials for making sword oil, potions, and alchemical bombs, Istrade came to Carbon Mountain and found the two.

His caravan had completed all its business in Mahakam.

Now we just have to wait for the two of them.

Upon learning that the two would need some time to deal with the plague spirits in the abandoned mines, Istrade said he would wait for them in Mahakam.

A few days later, the dwarves under Broval finally delivered the materials the two needed.

So in the following time, Lynn and Geralt began to mix sword oil, potions and alchemical bombs.

After all this was done, Thor and a team of dwarf guards escorted the two to the abandoned mine.

Under the violent dismantling of the dwarf guards, the roadblocks and wooden boards used to seal the abandoned mine were quickly removed.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew out from the cave in the mine.

The cold air is everywhere.

Even the strongest dwarf couldn't help but shudder.

The dwarf guards all showed fear on their faces, and even Thor couldn't help but speak embarrassedly.

"The front is not a place we can go. We can only send it here."

"Good luck, Master Witcher."

……

The surface of the mine tunnel is uneven.

Every few steps along the road, there was an empty torch hanging.

The road beneath my feet slopes down gently at a gentle angle.

This is just a normal mine tunnel. It takes two hours to go deep into the mine tunnel before reaching the abandoned mine.

Lynn and Geralt walked along the mine tunnel for about ten minutes before entering a man-made cave.

On the stone wall ahead, several bottomless tunnels were lined up in a row.

Instead of moving forward, the two planned to take potions and apply sword oil in this cave to prepare for the upcoming battle.

After all, this is still a safe area.

If we continue forward, it’s hard to say what might happen.

As a demon hunter, you should always be on guard against possible dangers.
