The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 389 You are
"What an epic battle, my warrior."

On Black Tern Island, at the pool where the merfolk worshipped the goddess of the lake, the goddess, seated on a boulder in a maidenly posture, revealed a captivating smile after quietly listening to Lynn recount his battle experiences.

"I can already sense that the projection of the evil god Dagon has indeed completely disappeared from this world. The remaining evil is no longer a concern, and its complete dissipation is only a matter of time."

"It's all thanks to you, my warrior."

Lynn said politely, "Madam, it is my honor to serve you. Moreover, I believe that everyone has a duty to eradicate evil from the world."

The smile on the goddess's face became even more pronounced.

"The Lake Maiden's sword is now officially yours. May it make you invincible."

"In addition, I will give you another gift."

As the goddess of the lake finished speaking, a golden light descended from the sky, bathing the witcher in it.

Surrounded by this golden light, Lynn did not feel blinded or hot; instead, she felt a warm and cozy sensation.

The gift the goddess of the lake mentioned was certainly not as simple as letting him sunbathe.

When he opened the properties panel, lines of text appeared:
New title: Chosen Champion

"Active Effect: Creates a magic-free zone with a diameter of one kilometer for thirty minutes. Can be cast once a day."

"Passive effect: Immunity to all mental attacks not exceeding the power of the Lady of the Lake; all bewitchment, whispers, and corruption targeting the soul of the blessed one are nullified."

Lynn was overjoyed.

This title isn't just for show; it's actually very useful.

The title's active effect allows you to become a warlock killer.

Apart from a few exceptions like Vigfortz and Mossack, most warlocks in this world are not skilled in melee combat.

If someone gets too close and can't use their magic, it's basically a death sentence.

In The Witcher 3, so many sorcerers hid in Novigrad, and in the end, they had to wait for Geralt to come and rescue them in order to escape...

It was because Novigrad was infiltrated by Radovid that the Eternal Flame became a tool of that mad king, and witch hunters all over the streets were carrying anti-magic gold, making the chaotic energy unstable.

Sorceresses of Triss's caliber are alright, but ordinary sorcerers have difficulty even casting spells, so they can only wait for someone to come and save them.
As for the passive effect, although this skill may not seem very useful on the battlefield of mortals.

But if I were to face a demon like Gant Odim in the future, it would come in very handy.

……

A few days later, in a wilderness somewhere in the province of Velen.

Suddenly, a portal appeared out of thin air.

More than a dozen figures walked out of the teleportation portal.

Apart from Lynn and Triss, the rest of the people and horses vomited uncontrollably as soon as they passed through the portal.

Fortunately, the helmets worn by these knights had visors that could be lifted up. If they had been wearing barrel-shaped or other closed helmets, they probably would have vomited inside.

Even after washing it clean, it will still have an indescribable odor when worn.

“That’s why it’s impossible to transport troops on a large scale using portals,” Triss explained to Lynn. “On the one hand, portals can’t exist for long periods of time, and on the other hand, ordinary people need at least some time to adapt to using portals.”

After defeating the Shadow of Dagon, when he returned to see Foltest, Foltest kept his promise and completed the proclamation bearing the royal seal that very day. He also dispatched a troop of knights to escort Triss and Lynn to the province of Velen.

This group of knights was partly Triss's vassals, and partly to prevent Baron Veserad from having any unnecessary thoughts.

After most of the day had passed, when the knights had finally recovered, the group headed to the crow's nest.

Crow's Den, the residence of Baron Veserad.

As the lord of Velen, Veserad spent most of his time either in Raven's Den or in Velen's capital, Goth Velen.

As for the other villages in this land, the peasants living in dire straits, constantly threatened by darkness and evil, Viserard didn't care about their lives at all.

Instead, they were left to fend for themselves.

Although Temeria was a feudal state with a system of fiefdoms, Foltest's power was still greater than that of the Lord of France.

As long as nobles don't go too far in their own territories, the king generally won't interfere.

But if this nobleman makes a mess of his territory, or even allows dark creatures to breed and spread, that's a different story.

The feudal system didn't mean that if you created nuclear wastewater on your own territory, no one would care.

Of course, nobles are a privileged class and, relatively speaking, they still receive more care.

Although Fortest was prepared to strip Baron Veserad of the province of Velen and transfer it to Triss, it did not mean that the Veserad family would become commoners from then on.

Instead, another piece of land was set aside on the outskirts of Vizima and granted to Veserad as his family's hereditary territory.

Of course, the area of ​​this new territory can't compare to the entire province of Velen. It can only be said that it can support Veserad and his family to continue living a wealthy life without having to work, but upward mobility is out of the question.

……

Raven's Nest Castle is different from other castles.

The entire castle was built on an inland island, and apart from a secret passage unknown to outsiders, the only connection between Crow's Nest and the mainland was a rickety bridge.

On the outside of the bridge, a simple sentry post was set up, where two guards with crossbows were idly killing time behind the post.

Suddenly, a fully armed team came into their view.

The guard initially thought he was seeing things and quickly rubbed his eyes.

After confirming that he wasn't seeing things, he quickly raised the crossbow.

"Stop! State your name! Or I'll shoot an arrow!"

The group stopped in front of the checkpoint, and only then did the guards notice that the group was led by a female sorcerer and a young man carrying two swords.

Behind them were knights clad in heavy armor, their warhorses even wearing horse armor.

The guard's hand, gripping the crossbow, began to tremble slightly.

Because it's obvious that a group like this couldn't possibly be a group of bandits in disguise.

“Put down the crossbow, you fool! Do you know who you are standing before? She is Lady Triss Merigold, the newly appointed Lord of Velen by His Majesty Foltest.

The two guards put down their crossbows, but upon hearing the knight's words, they both looked puzzled.
