The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 62: Classmate, you don’t want your schoolmate to get into trouble, right?
Lin En didn't agree rashly: "You speak first."

Grog said with a troubled look on his face.

"Don't tell anyone what Marco told you. What he said... is related to some research we're doing recently. We signed a contract that requires us not to tell anyone else."

"If the news gets out, we can't afford the cost of breach of contract."

Lynn thought about it.

"Okay, I can promise that." He looked at Marco, "Now you can speak."

Marco looked at Glogg.

Only after Grog nodded in response did he slowly speak.

"Mysel and I were discussing the legendary treasure of Magroll, the Elf King of Etaiye."

Lynn frowned.

"Etaiye? Has this country ever existed in history?"

Marco quickly replied, "Yes, but it's not a country founded by humans, it's owned by elves, and King Magrol is an elven king."

It turns out to be the history of the elves, so that's fine.

There is not much record of elven history in the books of Kaer Morhen.

Even the library of Niubao University does not dare to guarantee that it has recorded all the history of the elves in detail.

This is not the point.

So Lynn gestured for Marco to continue.

"Well, how did you talk?"

Marco paused.

"Exactly. Michelle doesn't believe we can find anything valuable. She thinks the so-called legendary treasure is pure fiction and we'll most likely return empty-handed."

Professor Grogg, who was standing by, looked visibly unhappy when he heard that his students did not believe in their efforts.

But Lin En didn't care whether the professor looked good or not: "And then?"

Marco also noticed the professor's expression, and now that he realized what he had just said, he couldn't take it back.

I had no choice but to finish it.

"And then nothing happened. We had a fight, and neither of us could convince the other. After dinner in the cafeteria, we left separately."

Lynn knocked on the table.

"Did she say where she was going? Did she behave in any way that was out of character? Not just when you last saw each other, but at any other time."

Marco thought about it carefully and finally shook his head.

"No."

"Does she have a boyfriend?"

This time, before Marco could speak, Grog rushed in and said, "Sir Demon Hunter, you don't understand. Students at Oxburgh University are forbidden from dating. Anyone caught doing so will be expelled immediately."

However, Lynn keenly noticed that when Grog said this, Marco's expression was a little unnatural.

But he didn't say anything, just took note of it secretly.

Pretending to be indifferent, he asked again, "Does she have any close friends?"

"Before this, Gottfried was closer to her," Marco replied.

At this moment, Lynn keenly noticed the key words in Marco's words.

"Before this? Before what?"

"No...nothing..."

Marco was obviously evasive and his eyes were a little evasive.

But Grog didn't notice anything unusual about his student. He waited until Lynn asked a few more questions, but Marco's answers seemed mediocre to him. Then he asked, "Anything else, Mr. Witcher?"

Realizing that he couldn't get any more answers by continuing here, Lynn stood up.

"Where does Michelle live? I need to go see where she lives."

It wasn't Marco who answered him, but Gloger: "She rented a house near the port, and she lives alone in the house."

Lin En asked doubtfully, "Renting a house outside? Professor, doesn't Niubao University provide student dormitories?" "Of course they do, but it's impossible for every student to have their own room in the dormitories. Therefore, some students from well-off families would rather live outside."

At this point, Glogg shook his head and sighed.

"Young people today are completely different from us back then. They can't endure even the slightest hardship. If I had the conditions I have now when I was studying, I would have woken up laughing in my dreams..."

Lynn quickly interrupted Gloger's chatter.

He doesn't want to hear any of this nonsense.

It seems that no matter which world, which country, or which era, there is a saying that "young people today are not as good as previous generations."

He already knew almost everything he needed to know.

"Now let's talk about our compensation, Professor."

"Money is the only motivation for work. That makes sense," Grogg raised a finger. "Sir Witcher, if you can find my student, I'll pay you 100 crowns. How about that?"

Oxenfurt is close to Novigrad.

Therefore, the gold crown coins minted in Novigrad are also used.

One hundred crowns are equivalent to six hundred Oren gold coins.

The commission from Mahakam was only worth 4,000 orens in total, and it was for him and Geralt alone.

Professor Glogg was willing to pay a hundred crowns, which was quite good.

Lynn had nothing to say about this reward.

"It's good that you agree, but Mr. Demon Hunter, there is something we must discuss first:"

"My students must return unscathed... well, a few hairs missing is fine, but broken limbs, or severe mental trauma is not."

"If you only brought back a corpse, that would be even worse. Please forgive me, Mr. Witcher, I can only pay you a hundred crowns after I see that my student is safe and sound."

……

Due to the missing students, classes at Newcastle University have been temporarily suspended during this period.

Therefore, after answering the inquiries, Marco left the University of Oxford.

Return to the place you rented outside.

He had just returned to his home and had not had time to catch his breath when he heard someone following him into the room.

He was startled at first.

Turned around quickly.

But after seeing clearly who came in, he relaxed.

The person who came in was none other than Lynn, who had reached a consensus with Gloger.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

Lin En entered the room and closed the door: "I have a few more questions for you."

Marco felt a little nervous because of Lynn's actions.

Even his speech became stammering.

"But I've already answered everything I could with the professor."

Lynn shook her head.

"No, I can tell you're not telling the truth. Marco, you don't want anything to happen to Michelle, so tell me. Tell me everything you didn't tell the professor."

Marco hesitated for a moment and said.

"Sir, I can tell you, but you can't let the professor know, otherwise Michelle will be expelled."

Lin En said without thinking: "You can rest assured about this, I promise you."

Marco took a deep breath.

In the end, I had to choose to trust the witcher.

"Actually, Michelle has a boyfriend, Gottfried."
