The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 67 I, Ruxer, will definitely help you

After hearing Lynn's explanation, the Ruxer family felt a little relieved.

In order to leave as quickly as possible, Ruxer did not just stand there and watch, but helped Lin En drag the corpse.

After a few minutes, all the bodies were gathered together.

Lynn released the Igni Sign and set all the bodies on fire.

After watching the body being burned to ashes by the flames, Lynn said to Ruxer as if it was finally over.

"Okay, the dirty work is done. Tomorrow morning, have your workers clean up the bloodstains in the lumberyard and everything will be fine. By the way, are there any horses in the lumberyard?"

Ruxer shook his head.

Horses in this era are as valuable as cars were in the 20th century.

No matter how generous Ruxer was, there was no way he could park a few cars in a deserted logging site at night.

Lynn's eyes swept over Ruxer's wife and daughter.

"I only brought one horse. In that case... let Madam and your daughter ride, and we two will walk... It might slow things down quite a bit, but there's nothing we can do. We can't have a woman and a child walking while two grown men ride."

Ruxer said respectfully.

"Master, there's something I forgot to mention. I just remembered that the gates of Novigrad are closed at night. If we go there now, we'll have no choice but to wait outside the gates until dawn."

It is normal for cities in this era to impose curfews at night.

Even if some cities do not impose curfews, at least the city gates are closed.

But Lynn shook her head and said.

"There is a guard post outside the city gate. We can stay there all night."

"Or we can stay in the lumberyard until dawn. It's up to you."

Ruxer hesitated for a moment.

Looking at the pile of charred corpses and the bloodstains all over the ground.

And the sound of the wind whistling from time to time outside the logging site.

He really didn't have the courage to stay here until dawn.

"Or we should rush to Novigrad overnight. Master, you will protect us, right? Once we are safe, I promise to pay you generously."

……

The night is not kind to humans.

Even the roads that were patrolled by guards during the day were nowhere to be seen at night.

Even if humans defeat the elves and become the overlords of the continent, the night world is still not under human control.

But the Demon Hunter is different.

The Cat Potion grants the Witcher the ability to see in the dark.

Because of the mutation, the mutated senses are different from those of normal humans, and can also keenly hear any sound trying to approach.

Therefore, demon hunters walking at night are not subject to many restrictions.

The Ruxer family was trembling with fear the whole time, not even daring to breathe.

Only when they see the back of the person walking in front can they feel a sense of security.

However, their worries were unnecessary, as they managed to escape safely throughout the journey.

Perhaps because the witcher had just slaughtered a group of bandits, and the smell of blood was still lingering even after a simple cleanup, the figures in the shadows of the trees who were ready to make a move finally dared to watch the group leave.

When the Ruxer family saw the tall walls of Novigrad and the lighted sentry post outside the city gate, they finally felt grateful that they were alive.

Ruxer was right, the gates of Novigrad would not be opened until dawn.

But the soldiers at the outpost allowed them to rest inside. Seeing that there were two women in the group, a soldier took the initiative to heat up two cups of hot drinks for them.

The soldiers were wary of Lynn at first.

But after several rounds of Gwent, they discovered that the Witcher seemed to be no different from ordinary humans.

In this way, everyone chatted casually.

Lynn also learned from Ruxer how his family was captured by the Green Forest Brotherhood.

The leader of the Green Forest Brotherhood, Frasig, first deceived Michelle with his beauty.

Although Flasger was just a poor worker, he was strong, hardworking, and handsome, which made Michelle fall in love with him.

So he voluntarily left Oxenfurt with Flasger.

When they were halfway there, Frasger immediately revealed his true colors.

Not only did he tie up Michelle, he also contacted his accomplices and asked them to take Michelle to Michelle's family's lumberyard.

He himself changed into a stolen Oxford University uniform and went to her parents' house with Michelle's headdress.

He claimed to be Michelle's classmate and came to tell the Ruxers that Michelle was missing.

Although Flasger has a black heart, he looks very harmless. Coupled with the fact that he is wearing the uniform of the University of Newcastle and Michelle's headdress, the Ruxers believed it.

Because they were worried about their daughter, the two of them didn't care about anything else and left Novigrad with Frasig.

Frasig deliberately led the two men to the place where their accomplices were lying in ambush so that they could be captured as well.

Lin En knew what happened after that.

This trick now sounds so crude that no one would be fooled.

But at that time, both Michelle and the Ruxels were blinded by various reasons, so they could not see as clearly as others.

Time flies when you have someone to talk to.

When dawn arrived, the gates of Novigrad finally opened.

Lynn entered the city with the Ruxer family.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Ruxer's house in the upper city.

Ruxer's wife was so frightened that she went straight to her bedroom to rest as soon as she got home.

Ruksor asked his daughter to take care of his wife.

He took out three hundred kronor from the safe and gave it to Lin En, and said that if Lin En had any difficulties in the future, he could come to him.

He will definitely help if he can.

Before Lynn left, Ruxer wrote a letter and asked Lynn to pass it to Professor Glogg.

As proof that Lin En has completed the commission.

Then Lynn rushed back to Oxford University without stopping.

Give Glogg the letter from Ruxel.

"Well, this is indeed the handwriting of Lord Ruxer. It seems that you have completed the task very well." Professor Gloger put down the letter and said with great satisfaction.

Then he took out a purse from the drawer and handed it to Lin En solemnly: "This hundred crowns are yours, young man, you have done a good job."

"Thank you, Professor."

Lin En was genuinely happy to have the money coming in.

This one hundred crowns, plus the three hundred crowns given by Luxer, and the Oren paid by Great Elder Broval earlier...

Vesemir certainly could not have imagined that after less than a year down the mountain, Lin En's wealth was already higher than that of many of his fellow witchers who had been training for more than ten or twenty years.
