The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 368 Steaming, everything can be steamed
Serret asked, "Southern Witchers? You mean the other Viper School Witchers?"

“No,” Lynn shook his head, “I mean all the witchers active in the South, the Cat School, the Bear School, and of course the other Viper School witchers.”

“As for Escal and Lambert,” Lynn then looked at his Wolf School brothers, “your task is to accompany them so that you can look after each other. I will feel at ease if you act together.”

"What about me?" The least Bear School-like of the Bear School demon hunter, Ged, saw that everyone else had been assigned tasks but he hadn't. As if afraid that Lynn had forgotten him, he quickly pounded his chest, making his breastplate thump loudly.

Lynn said, “Of course I won’t forget you. You will go with them. When they finish their mission in the south, on their return journey through the Amel Mountains, I need you to take them to the Bear School’s headquarters, Heinkavig Castle, and bring back everything you deem valuable.”

The Viper School isn't just comprised of Letho and his two companions.

Besides the founder, Master Iva the Evil Eye, as far as Lynn knows, there is also Kogrim, who died a miserable death in White Orchard before the start of The Witcher 3.

Judging from the timeline, Koglum should still be active in the south at this point.

Besides the Viper School, the Cat School and the Bear School also operate in the south.

Therefore, he hoped that his brothers could go out and find all the witchers operating in the south.

Despite the infamous reputation of the Cat School, Lynn knew there were still a few normal people among them.

For example, in another timeline, Lambert will meet his good friend Aiden.

The Cat School are natural assassins and swordsmen. As long as Tisaya corrects the flaws in the Cat School's herbal decoction, they can be just as useful.

The Bear School is an indispensable part of the future Witcher chapters.

Because the Bear School was the only school of witchers that wore heavy armor, Gerd, as a member of the Bear School, also underwent a second mutation during the winter he spent at Kael'thas Castle.

After the second mutation, his strength, physique, and endurance were greatly enhanced, his resistance to poison was moderately enhanced, and his agility, nerve reaction, sign power, magic limit, and recovery speed were slightly enhanced.

After the second mutation, Gerd's physical strength far surpassed that of humans, and he was no longer within the realm of humanity.

Such a Bear School Witcher, equipped with a greatsword and plate armor, would be an absolutely terrifying force, capable of crushing opponents with impunity on the battlefield.

The shortcomings of the Bear School are actually not as troublesome as those of the Cat School.

The cat school is biased, extreme, and obsessed.

The Xiong school is nothing more than a lack of emotion and indifference.

Not to mention that after they return from the south, Tishaya can also improve the herbal decoction of the Bear School to try to make up for the shortcomings of the Bear School... Even if she can't make up for them, the Bear School is easy to appease.

Just like with the mercenary group, we didn't make empty promises, we just talked about money.

They directly offered a large sum of money to appease him.

Of course, besides collecting the legacies of the Viper School, the Cat School, and the Bear School, Lynn had another purpose.

He didn't want to see witchers captured by Nilfgaardian emperors or nobles and used as guinea pigs in laboratories.

For centuries, neither the rulers of the North nor the South had considered consciously cultivating a force of witchers.

But after he participated in the war launched by Istrad to reclaim the throne of Kovir, even the most foolish rulers, who were obsessed with having more illegitimate children, belatedly realized that the cost of training witchers was low, but the return was high.

Lynn did not want to see this outcome.

Lambert crossed his arms: "Looks like this time it's not me babysitting the kids, but you guys."

Serret retorted, "Who will be whose babysitter is still up in the air. If it weren't for Lynn, I wouldn't want this burden."

The two have similar personalities and have been bickering for a long time.

At first, people would try to stop them.

But over time, people realized that although Lambert and Serret argued, they never really got angry.

Gradually, I just let them be.

Ignoring the two clowns, Eskar pondered, "The Viper School and the Bear School are one thing, but do we really want to bring the Cat School onto our chariot too?"

Influenced by Vesemir, Escal still harbored lingering fears about the Cat School.

Although he felt Lynn most likely knew what he was talking about, he was genuinely worried that the massacre of the past would be repeated in this castle. "Don't worry, Eskar, I know what I'm doing."

Aiskar nodded.

Since Lynn has said so, then he has nothing to worry about.

“We will try our best to make this happen for you, but…” Oakes hesitated for a moment, “It’s one thing to deal with Eskar, Lambert, and Gerd, but Serret and I are on the blacklist in the Nilfgaardian Empire. Our wanted posters are plastered all over the empire…”

He didn't say anything more.

However, Lynn had already understood what he was trying to say.

Of course, he was prepared for this.

“I’ve thought of this a long time ago.”

Lynn took out five disguise amulets and five sorcery pouches from his enchanted leather pouch.

These were all magical items he had specially bought from Tisaya.

These disguise amulets weren't as effective as Lynn's own deception amulet; they couldn't change the wearer's appearance, only the color of their hair and eyes, but that was enough.

The main physical characteristics of a Witcher are cat-like eyes, two swords carried like a bow and arrow, and the Witcher badge hanging on their chest.

Once these characteristics are removed, there is actually no significant difference between a witcher and an ordinary person.

A witchcraft pouch, as the name suggests, is a pouch that has been enchanted with an extension spell.

The interior has a space the size of a yurt, which should be enough for them.

With these ten magical items, their journey to the south will surely be much more convenient.

"Holy crap, this is really good stuff."

The witch hunters' eyes lit up, and they picked up the witchcraft pouch, admiring it dearly.

Disguised amulets are one thing.

Who wouldn't want a prop with an interior space that's much larger than it appears from the outside?
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Whether you're heading south or returning from the south, remember to take the detour via Toussaint. Don't take the road through the Manada Valley."

The Manada Valley is located between Sintra and the province of Nasser in the Nilfgaardian Empire, and is a vital passage connecting the north and south.

At this point in time, although the major conflict between the North and the South has not yet arrived, Sintra, being at the forefront of the North-South divide, is almost entirely populated by "anti-Nimos" people, from royalty and nobility to ordinary citizens.

If one were to travel from Sintra to the Nilfgaardian Empire, it could potentially cause unnecessary trouble in the region.

In that case, it would be safer to take the route through the neutral country of Toussaint.

"When you return, remember to go back to the Casteldachya Vineyard in Toussaint. If all goes well, you will meet up with the Manticore School witchers in the vineyard. Bring them back with you."

"The Manticore School?"

Everyone looked at each other.

No one expected that Lynn would be able to contact this school of thought, which is almost unknown to most northerners.

Aiskar and Oaks nodded solemnly, indicating that they had made a mental note of it.

Finally, just as Vesemir had warned him when he first came down the mountain, Lynn earnestly reminded them to be careful.

Because the South is worse than the North.

Despite their disdain for witchers, the kings and nobles of the North have not, for a long time, organized any premeditated hunts against them.

But it's different in the South.

The respectable people of the South, simply because they don't want to see witchers breathing freely and basking in the sun on the streets, would rather pay high prices to bounty hunters to eliminate witchers who are actually not a problem for them.
