The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 354 I, Hu Hansan, am back!
"Let me introduce you, brothers. This is Lord Ged, the Witcher of the Bear School. Next to him is Master Moxsak from the Druid Ring, and lastly, Lady Agnes of Brocleion."

When Lynn introduced them, all three nodded in greeting.

“No problem, no problem,” Zoltan said with a hearty smile. “A Witcher’s friend is my friend, Zoltan’s friend, and also a friend of my brothers.”

"If you need anything, just let us brothers know."

Zoltan glanced behind Lynn, then asked with a puzzled look, "Didn't Lord Vesemir come back with you? Or will he return later?"

Lynn nodded: "Yes, Vesemir won't be coming back for the winter this year."

In fact, after Lynn returned to Novigrad last time and talked with Vesemir, Vesemir had begun to seriously consider retiring.

In the past, Kaer Morhen was in turmoil, and the Wolf School was like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Therefore, Vesemir had to struggle to keep it together, otherwise even the last bit of people's hearts would fall apart.

But now the Wolf School is operating smoothly, and not only the Wolf School, but other schools have also come to Kaer Morhen Castle to participate in the event, so Vesemir can rest assured.

Therefore, Vesemir is prepared to relinquish his patriarchal duties.

He was tired after a lifetime and wanted to take a good rest; it was also to send a signal that the decision-maker in Kyle Morhen was no longer him, but Lynn.

Unlike the nobles, Vesemir didn't have the opportunity to receive knowledge and education, but the experienced old man had his own set of methods:

He knew that in a wolf pack, there could only be one alpha wolf.

Lynn was both understanding and grateful for this.

Although he would always leave a place for Professor Vesemir in his future plans, if the professor intended to retire peacefully and live a leisurely old age...

As students, we can only offer our respect and blessings.

"Let's go in quickly, we'll talk inside."

The group entered the castle.

We arrived at the training ground in the courtyard.

In one corner of the training ground, there was a row of wooden stakes. One of the seven children Lynn had brought back from Holoppel was on one of the stakes, dodging the swinging pendulum.

The so-called pendulum is a thick piece of wood suspended from the ground, as thick as a bucket, that moves back and forth like a swing.

The child held a wooden sword in his hand and moved constantly on the wooden stake, attacking and dodging the pendulum.

The other children stood on the perimeter, observing the movements of the child on the stake.

Lambert crossed his arms and continued to criticize in an impatient tone.

When Lynn and his group approached, Lambert nodded to Lynn, his stern expression softening, before speaking to the children who were practicing.

"That's enough, get down."

The child dodged the pendulum that was hitting him and even somersaulted off the wooden stake.

This acrobatic-like movement made Lambert's scalp tingle.

His eye twitched, and he instinctively wanted to curse, but when he caught sight of Lynn's presence, he took a deep breath and managed to suppress his stern words.

But the other children cheered for him as if he had just won the knightly tournament.

The child took off the blindfold from his head and squinted instinctively.

After my eyes adjusted to the light, I noticed that the usually empty training ground now had several guests.

"Master Linn!"

He hastily adopted the Holoporian's reaction upon seeing a nobleman, dropping his wooden sword and bowing deeply.

The joyful atmosphere suddenly stopped.

The other children only then noticed Lynn's arrival.

He quickly bowed in return.

"Ah."

Lynn nodded, smiled, and greeted them, inquiring about their well-being. These children were his core support base.

No one understands the importance of grassroots development better than him.

The Eternal Flame's previous actions of going down to the grassroots and providing warmth in Novigrad were also carried out on his instructions by Chapeler.

As the ancient sages of his homeland had long ago said, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Lynn's greetings and friendliness overwhelmed the children.

They immediately felt that all the hardships and exhaustion they had endured in training over the past year had been worthwhile.

During their time at Kaer Mohan Castle, their teachers not only provided them with targeted physical training but also diligently imparted knowledge to them.

This includes the status of witchers in this world, and the difficulties and challenges they will face after becoming witchers.

Even after the children clearly understood these things, they still did not regret the choices they had made.

They were already neglected orphans; without Lynn, they would have either died of hunger and cold or been forced to join the local gang and become pickpockets.

If someone can't even be a good pickpocket, their hands and feet will be cut off, and they'll be forced to become a beggar.

This is the fate of children like them.

Until their last breath, they are merely tools for the gang to make profits.

But now, their fate has changed.

Because of Lynn's ray of light, their dark world was illuminated.

Therefore, they were willing to give everything for Lynn.

Including life.

As the children gazed at him with eager eyes, Lynn felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

In the past, as long as he took care of himself, he was content with just being fed.

But now, he is surrounded by the expectations of everyone.

His decision will not only affect him alone, but also the fate of many who are willing to follow him.

"So, Teacher Vesemir has been carrying such a heavy burden all along?"

A child asked curiously, "Lord Lynn, what did you say?"

“No, it’s nothing.” Lynn shook his head.

Then, he glanced around at the children, but did not find that familiar petite figure, and asked in confusion.

Where is Cassia?

“Cassia spends all her time with Yennefer now.”

"what?"

Lambert shrugged.

“Yennefer said the child has the talent to become a sorcerer—don’t look at me, I had the same expression when I first heard it.”

"No, that's a happy expression on my face."

Lynn was indeed very happy.

The Witcher's Trial of the Grasses is too dangerous.

In particular, among all the schools of thought, only the Cat School has had a successful case of training a female Witcher.

However, the herbal decoction method of the Cat School is the least complete among all schools of thought.
