The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 64: Lynn is on his way on horseback

One of the workers immediately remembered the name of the worker Lin En was looking for.

"That guy's called Frasig. He's very young, even too young to be carrying heavy bags at his age. In my opinion, he should learn a skill, like barbering, ironwork, or taking care of horses. Which one wouldn't be better than simply selling your physical strength?"

Another worker with tattoos said.

"No one asked you that, why are you always talking about it? Do you think carrying a heavy bag is just carrying a heavy bag? It can strengthen one's willpower. If that kid can't even do this, what can he achieve in the future?"

Lin En didn't dwell on their argument, only concerned with his own question: "How long has he been working here? Didn't he find a job at the port before?"

The tattooed worker shook his head.

"No, he heard that some of us were called to work at Niubao University, so he came over here out of desperation."

"In my opinion, he didn't go there to work. He clearly wanted to go to Oxford University to pick up girls. If he could pick up any girl, he could save himself decades of hard work."

The first worker to speak retorted, "Not everyone at Bullock University is rich."

The tattooed worker scoffed, "Do you believe that? I don't believe it anyway. How can you afford to go to school if you don't have money?"

Lynn waved her hand.

"Did Frasig say anything strange when he was with you?"

Another worker, wearing a turban, asked, "Strange words? What do you mean?"

Lynn spread his hands.

"Anything is fine, as long as it doesn't sound like something a young worker would say."

The tattooed worker said, "Didn't I tell you? He wants to get something for nothing. Who would be so respectable?"

"Don't talk anymore. Even a drink can't stop you from talking, right?" The turbaned worker said with a thoughtful expression. "If you put it that way, I suddenly remembered that sometimes that kid says something amiss."

Lynn asked, "What is it?"

The turbaned worker tried to recall:

"I can't quite remember his exact words, but the general idea seemed to be that we work all day and can barely make ends meet, while those rich people don't have to work and can live a life of luxury."

The tattoo worker also spoke thoughtfully.

"I also remember that he also said that all the houses in Novigrad were built by us, but why can't we have our own house in Novigrad?"

"I could tell early on that something was wrong with this kid. Who would dwell on this all day?"

Lin En looked at the workers and asked, "Did he tell me where he was going before he left?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"This is not."

At this time, one of the workers who had been silent, the oldest and smoking a pipe, suddenly spoke.

"Before he left, he came to me and asked if I would accompany him to reclaim what we deserved from the rich. I advised him, young people, not to dwell on such trivial matters. But he said, 'No wonder we work ourselves to death and still earn so little money. Our thoughts are worthy of our suffering.' He never came back."

"Honestly, I don't like that guy. Even though he seems to be on our side and speaking for us, once he realizes he can't persuade us, he immediately changes his tune and calls us stupid."

"In my opinion, he is no different from those who instigated the Holocaust. I once experienced a Holocaust. Those who hid among the crowd and incited others to massacre dwarves and elves used similar rhetoric."

……

After coming out of the port of Oxenfurt, Lynn was able to confirm that the guy named Frasger's so-called teaching the rich a lesson meant kidnapping Michelle.

Since I already knew the location of Michelle's home and the logging camp from Gottfried.

Therefore, Lynn did not delay any longer, rode Nidhogg and left Oxenfurt directly, galloping towards Novigrad.

……

A few hours later.

Lynn rushed to Michelle's lumberyard.

The lumberyard is located outside of Novigrad, in a lush forest.

When Lynn arrived, it was completely dark.

He didn't ride Nidhogg directly over.

Instead, he dismounted from a distance and did not tie up his horse, because these Kovir horses were well-trained and would return at the sound of a whistle.

The reason for not tying up the horse is that we are worried that a monster might appear.

Lynn took advantage of the night and slowly approached.

The sawmill was very large, and there was a wooden wall built around the outermost edge.

Two robbers were standing at the gate of the wooden wall.

There was also the sound of footsteps coming from behind the wooden wall.

Apparently there were still bandits patrolling behind the wooden wall.

They even arranged patrols, it seems these are not ordinary robbers.

At least their leader is smart.

Lynn didn't go to the door.

Instead, he walked around in a circle and tiptoed to the wooden wall.

Look around.

Then he jumped over the wooden wall that was more than one meter high and landed lightly on the ground on the other side of the wooden wall like a nimble cat.

Lynn didn't rush to get up.

Instead, he observed the situation in the logging camp.

Although it is night, you can see clearly without cat potion because of the moonlight.

He noticed lights on in several of the houses in the lumberyard.

And you can hear loud noises.

It seems that the entire logging camp has been occupied by bandits.

Lynn didn't know if he could find Michelle here.

But no matter what, the robbers in the logging camp cannot be let off.

Because if they just rescued Michelle, she and her family might still be kidnapped again by the returning bandits.

He knows the importance of rooting out the problem.

Either don't do it, or do your best.

……

In the house where the lumberjacks rest.

Now it has become a den of bandits.

Among the bandits who were eating big chunks of meat and drinking big bowls of wine, three hostages who were tied up were trembling.

A fat man and two women.

One is older, but still has charm.

The other was only in his teens and was still wearing the student uniform of the University of Oxford.

Flasger took a golden roasted chicken leg and walked over to the fat businessman wearing a monocle and squatted down.

"I have to say, Mr. Ruxer, I never realized you had so much wealth. Is running a lumber mill so lucrative?"

Ruxer instinctively showed a flattering smile on his face.

"Gentlemen, I'm just an honest businessman. If I've offended you in any way, I'm willing to make amends. Please don't hurt me or my family."

The fat businessman had just finished speaking when Frasger stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.

The mother and daughter next to them immediately screamed.

But the other robbers were very excited.

"You know what I hate most about people like you? It's this! You're always so high and mighty, always looking down on others!"
