The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 50 King Reid asked me to bring you a message

A rotten wooden board - the hotel sign - was hung on the wall, creaking and swaying back and forth in the wind.

Not only was the writing crooked, but after years of exposure to wind and rain, it was no longer possible to make out what was written.

Of course, few people care what the name of this hotel is.

The owner of the inn had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw the caravan approaching, he immediately came to greet them with a smile on his face.

He also called a few people from the store to help take care of the horses.

The hotel is understaffed.

Lin En and the others waited in the lobby on the first floor for a long time before the food was finally served.

To be fair, the chef's skills in this hotel are not that good. At best, he can just cook the food thoroughly. Don't even think about the taste.

But no one cares too much about being able to eat hot food in such a remote and desolate place.

For a moment, there was not even the sound of talking in the hall on the first floor, only the sound of eating.

Although the chef's cooking skills are not very good, the boss is still quite attentive.

While everyone was still eating, I hurried to boil water for a bath.

But even so, with so many people in the caravan, they can only take turns to wash.

The first person to enjoy this treatment was naturally the payer, Istrade.

Then there are Lynn and Geralt.

The performance of the two along the way has already won the admiration of others, so everyone is willing to wait a little longer.

While Lynn and Geralt went to take a hot bath, Istrada, who had already finished bathing, began to assign tasks to his men.

He left three men behind to guard the stable and watch over the horses and the cargo on the wagon.

Although I don't think the hotel owner or his men would be stupid enough to steal guests' luggage.

But be afraid of anything unexpected.

After taking a comfortable hot bath and getting off the boat, Lin En, who had been traveling for a whole day, now felt sleepy.

So after saying good night to Geralt, he went into his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

……

I don't know how long I slept.

When Lynn found himself awake, he thought he would see sunlight streaming in from the window.

But the reality was just the opposite. He saw only pitch black darkness.

After confirming that he was not dreaming, Lynn got up from the bed.

He walked to the window and looked out.

There was deathly silence outside the window.

It seems that the whole world only has this small hotel left.

Then, Lynn's gaze moved downward, from the distance to the vicinity of the hotel.

When he entered the inn, he paid special attention to the location of the stables.

The stables are where the caravan carriages are parked.

But strangely, Lynn saw nothing.

All he saw was darkness.

Something is wrong!
Why didn't the three men Istrade left to guard the carriage light torches?

No one wants to hide in the dark.

Torches can not only be used to drive away wild animals and provide warmth, but more importantly, they can bring people a sense of security.

But now, all the torches in the stable have been extinguished.

This means something bad may be happening.

Almost at the same moment the alarm sounded, he heard an abnormal and strange sound.

The sound was extremely faint and came from right above Lynn's head.

It sounded like the wood on the beams, rotting from years of decay.

But Lin En rushed to the bedside with a quick step and threw the Gwesir he got from Mahakam, along with the scabbard, towards the direction where the strange noise came from above his head.

"Ah!" screamed.

A dark shadow fell from the beam and landed heavily on the floor of the room.

Moreover, due to the incorrect falling posture, his right leg cracked and twisted into an extremely unnatural position.

It makes people gasp just by looking at it.

The man also screamed in pain.

Lin En can't stand hearing other people scream.

So he slit the man's throat with Gulliver.

Watch him choke to death on the blood gushing from his throat.

At this moment, sounds of fighting and shouting were heard outside.

……

At the same time, a tall knight over two meters tall, wearing heavy armor and dragging a huge sword, stood in Istrade's room.

The person on the bed had the quilt pulled over their head, so their face couldn't be seen.

But from the raised outline of the quilt, it can be seen that there is indeed a person lying on the bed.

From beneath his helmet, the tall knight sneered scornfully, "Only children like to hide under the covers."

Then, he raised his sword and chopped it down without mercy.

The giant sword split the quilt and the bed board underneath it in two.

But there were no screams and no blood.

The feeling of the greatsword slashing down was also wrong.

The tall knight stepped forward with doubt and pulled the quilt away with force.

Only then did he realize that the person hiding under the quilt was not a person, but a person's shape disguised as a pillow.

At this moment, the cabinet in the room suddenly opened, and Istrade rushed out with a dagger in his hand.

But the tall knight reacted faster.

With a fierce wave of his hand, the iron gauntlet knocked the dagger out of Istrada's hand.

Then he grabbed Istrada's neck and lifted her up like a chicken.

He opened his mouth and let out a muffled sound.

"King Ryder sent me a message for you, Estrada. He told you to give his regards to old Baldwin when you see him."

Seeing Istrade struggling in vain after hearing the names of King Reid and Baldwin, the tall knight felt extremely happy in his heart.

King Reid, to whom the tall knight is loyal, is the mastermind behind the "Bovis Split Incident" and seized power in the divided Bovis Kingdom after the incident.

As for Baldwin, that was Istrad's father, Baldwin Thiessen.

When Baldwin was still the King of Kovir, he not only failed to prevent the secession of Povis, but also caused a rebellion to break out within Kovir.

So much so that the Thyssen family had to flee Kovir.

By the way, King Edie, who later replaced Baldwin as the ruler of Kovir, almost chopped off Geralt's head.

Just because Geralt killed the two-headed serpent that was disturbing the people, when he was collecting the reward, he was slandered as a "charlatan, a mindless killer and a scavenger" by Kovir's court advisors, the warlocks Stregobor and Zhavest.

Even more unfortunately, King Idi believed their slander and not only did not pay Geralt a penny, but also ordered Geralt to leave Kovir within twelve hours.

Anyone with normal intelligence knows that even though the northern countries have a small land area, it is not so small that one can reach the border from the royal city within twelve hours.

In the end, King Edie's hourglass broke, allowing Geralt to barely escape alive.

……

Having said that, after being driven out of Kovir, Baldwin never had the chance to make a comeback.

Because he died suddenly while fleeing.

After the Thyssen family fled to the Principality of Targo in a panic, King Reid did not become complacent.

He knew very well that since he could overthrow the Thyssen family, one day the Thyssen family would also be able to overthrow his rule.

Therefore, King Reid has always had spies in the Kingdom of Targo.

It was also because of this that they were able to grasp the time of Istrada's return to Targo so accurately and set up an ambush in this country inn in advance.
