The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 382 The Strong Only Deserve to Be Possessed by Beauties

Now that the compensation had been agreed upon and the next steps had been decided, Lynn had a few pieces of advice for Foltest before leaving:

First, before they return, Foltest would be better off hiding in an inland castle far from the sea, rivers, and lakes.

It's best to avoid staying in Maripo.

Even the princes here are henchmen of evil gods, so how can we guarantee that no one is a traitor?
It's not a problem to let all the nobles and wealthy merchants of Maripo pass through Lynn's hands; the real fear is that there might be bad people among the common people.

Maripo is, after all, the capital of the Principality of Maripo. Although its population is not as large as that of Vijma, it is still much larger than that of an average city.

When will it take to detect all of this?
What if the evil god Dagon has other activities during this time? Wouldn't we be forever led by the nose by Him?
Most importantly, eliminating these minions will not truly affect the other side. No matter how many are killed, as long as humans... or rather, as long as there are intelligent races living on this continent, He can eventually develop new followers.

Therefore, instead of following His preordained actions, it is better to go directly to Lake Vijima.

In addition, Lynn advised Foltest to evacuate the villagers living in the villages around Lake Vigema to prevent them from becoming servants of the evil god.

……

Triss remained silent in front of Foltest.

Only after leaving the manor did Triss ask in confusion, "Lynn, why didn't you want the land, but gave it to me instead?"

Lynn told Triss his true thoughts.

Triss understood immediately.

Indeed, it's less shocking for a warlock to become a lord than for a witcher to become a lord.

After all, there was a precedent in Temeria where a sorcerer had become regent, namely the legendary sorcerer who shared the same name as Pure White Rafald's potion-making.

If he had wanted to, he could have taken just one more step and inherited the throne of Temuria, turning this northern power into a nation of sorcerers.

However, he ultimately did not do so.

Meanwhile, in the north of Temuria, Philippa Ehrart, a sorceress also from the Academy of Eritusa, wielded considerable power in Redania.

Therefore, a power equivalent to that of a baron would at most only generate limited discussion.

But Triss also expressed concern.

Because of Velen's reputation, she feared that if she took over, she might do a worse job than Baron Veserad.

"Don't worry, Triss, I have a solution. If you find it too troublesome, I can find someone to manage it for you."

Then, the two went to find Kayla.

And tell her what happened before.

Of course, Lynn concealed the fact that he had been blessed by the Lake Goddess and possessed the ability to see through the minions of evil gods.

Even so, Kayla was still surprised that Lynn was able to capture and defeat the henchman of the evil god Yulcaster.

At this moment, Kayla's gaze towards Lynn carried a very strong meaning.

That look made Triss feel somewhat uncomfortable.

So she quickly pulled Lynn away.

She herself stepped between Lynn and Kayla.

Considering that Foltest cannot be without guards.

Therefore, Triss decided to keep Keira by Foltest's side just in case.

After Kayla agreed, Triss seemed to be avoiding something and hurriedly pulled Lynn away.

Kayla watched the direction the two had left, and said quietly, "Only beautiful women deserve the strong. Triss, do you think you've already won?"

After leaving Kayla's place, the two went outside.

Triss asked, "Since you're so confident in agreeing to Foltest's request, have you figured out a way to defeat the evil god Dagon?"

Lynn said, "Yes, but I need your help."

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

"First, open a portal to send me outside Vizima City; then, I want you to ask Margarita for help." The first one is no problem, but the second…

Triss hesitated.

"But……"

Lynn explained, "Margarita wouldn't let the King take refuge in Aretusa Academy because she was afraid he would attract the attention of the evil god Dagon."

“But we haven’t asked the king to take refuge yet. Instead, we hope that Margarita will come and help us. I think Margarita will not refuse.”

"Don't forget, the island of Xenide, where Aretusa Academy is located, is also in the sea."

Triss thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Destroying the evil god Dagon would be entirely beneficial to the Academy of Aretusa.

Furthermore, Margarita's skill in magic surpasses even his own.

With her assistance, our chances of winning are much greater.

So she nodded.

I will try my best to persuade her.

Lynn couldn't help but find it amusing to see the red-haired beauty's serious expression.

"Don't be so nervous. Even if you fail, it's okay. I still have a backup plan."

Lynn's "backup plan" refers to Tissaya.

Don't forget, Tissaya is Margarita's teacher.

If all else fails, with Tissaya involved, she'll definitely be able to persuade Margarita.

……

After separating from Triss and emerging from the portal, Lynn determined his direction and discovered that the walls of Vizima were in the distance.

The sun was already setting in the distance, and soon the world would be shrouded in darkness.

However, for witchers, there is little difference between day and night.

The Cat Potion provides darkvision, ensuring the Witcher's vision remains unaffected even in complete darkness.

Just like when she saw the goddess of the lake at Lake Vigema last time, Lynn first left the city and found a place where the water was shallower.

He stepped into the water, where the lake water reached his ankles.

That's how he did it last time when he came to return the Holy Grail.

However, this time...

Crash.

A sound like something emerging from the lake water could be heard.

Looking up by the moonlight, one could see the cool moonlight shining on a large group of half-fish, half-human creatures.

They were soaking wet and carrying harpoons.

The Fallen Fishmen are both the fallen form of the strange, non-human race living on Lake Vijima—the Fishmen—and what those who see Dagon as their salvation will eventually become.

Although he didn't know why these corrupted merfolk had appeared, Lynn didn't hesitate for a moment before reaching out his left hand to ambush them.

"Igni."

Crimson flames illuminated the night, and large swaths of fire erupted like molten lava, engulfing the dozen or so fallen merfolk that appeared before him.

By this time, Lynn's mastery of the power of the sign was far beyond what it was when he first started out.

Any fallen merfolk that came into contact with the flames of Igni were instantly ignited, like oil meeting fire.

They didn't even have time to dive back into the lake to put out the fire before they were burned alive by the terrifying heat.
