The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 391 Food Supplements are worse than Medicinal Supplements
"Madam, everyone has arrived."

"Then tell them."

The knight nodded, took out the certificate again, and loudly announced to the villagers that they had a new lord.

In fact, apart from the village chief, there is probably no other person in this village who can read.

However, this is a necessary procedure and cannot be omitted.

The knight spoke at length with great passion, until his throat was dry, but when he glanced down, he was nearly driven mad with anger.

In his eyes, this group of fools were either drowsy, or had their eyes open but seemed lost in thought, while others were staring at him as if he had something to say, completely unaware of what they were supposed to do.

If these were his own people, he would definitely give these ignorant masses a good beating.

But now, suppressing his anger, he simply roared, "Now, you may bow to the new lord."

The village chief and the villagers then bowed to Triss, but they all looked numb and hopeless.

The knight approached Triss and said angrily, “Madam, for the sake of your dignity, I think it is appropriate to punish them. If a few are hanged, the rest will know how to respect you.”

Triss did not reply.

Instead, he looked to Lynn for help.

Lynn first gave Triss a look that said, "Don't worry, leave it all to me," and then began to observe the civilians below.

He found that these civilians, besides having dull eyes, lack of concentration, and scattered minds, were all emaciated and pale from hunger.

So, amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he went into the village chief's house, took out some clean water from his magic-patterned leather bag, and washed the large pot clean.

Snapped!
Lynn snapped his fingers and used the Igni sign to light the firewood in the stove.

He took out the raw meat and seasonings and put them into the large pot.

Soon, the aroma of meat wafted from the village chief's house.

Lynn instructed the village chief to direct the villagers to line up one by one, while the knights were responsible for maintaining order. Once the meat in the pot was cooked, each villager received a bowl of meat broth filled with meat.

The villagers had never seen anything like this before. If it weren't for the fully armed knights maintaining order, they probably would have already started looting.

Even without any looting, the villagers, fearing that others would snatch their share of meat, hurriedly ate it without caring about the heat, resulting in them screaming in pain from the burns.

They had to rely on Triss's healing magic to relieve their burns.

Besides the villagers, the knights also received a share.

When everyone had finished eating the meat and was slowly and contentedly drinking the broth, Lynn called the village chief aside and asked him about the situation in the village.

It is said that food is worse than medicine. After drinking a full bowl of meat and broth, the village chief's face was no longer numb, but showed more sincerity.

“There is a mysterious evil spirit that always appears at noon. The villagers have tried to drive it away, but no one can defeat it. If you can drive it away and make it never appear again, we will be forever grateful to you.”

"And, and..." The village chief carefully observed Lynn's expression. Seeing that Lynn showed no abnormality, he forced himself to continue.

"There seems to be something hidden in the nearby forest. Old John had sent two men to hunt some game in the woods, but... a few days later, we found their bodies on the outskirts of the forest."

The village chief's throat was dry, and he hesitated before saying, "If... if it's possible, please help me out."

"I understand, but my assistance is not free."

"But we have nothing more to offer."

“I don’t want your things. You pay taxes to the lord, and the lord should provide you with protection. The previous lord was negligent, which is why you have suffered so much. I will make amends for this mistake.”

Lynn paused for a moment, then continued, "But once the lord has fulfilled her duties, it is your turn to do yours."

“I will, of course, sir, I assure you,” the village chief hurriedly agreed, “as long as you can help us get rid of those two monsters, we will pay every penny of the taxes due.” Lynn nodded: “Remember what you said.”

After leaving the village chief, Lynn went to find Triss.

When Triss heard about it, she wanted to go with Lynn.

But the Witcher refused.

He didn't need Triss's help.

He's enough on his own.

He asked Triss and the knights to stay in the village a little longer, and if possible, to help the villagers with their illnesses and minor ailments.

As long as it's not a rare or intractable disease, ordinary illnesses are not difficult for a sorcerer.

Offering necessary favors can also increase the loyalty of one's subjects.

Lynn stayed in the village until noon before leaving alone and heading to the place the village chief had mentioned where he had witnessed the evil spirit.

Soon, he found his target.

It was an evil spirit dressed in a tattered wedding dress, wandering in the fields.

It only appears at noon, so there's no doubt that it's a daytime spirit.

Daytime spirits are far stronger than ordinary lantern spirits in every aspect. Lantern spirits can be weakened or even annihilated through continuous attacks.

To eliminate the daytime spirit, one must find something that makes it unwilling to leave this world (this could be a cherished personal item or its corpse), and then burn it to release it from its slumber.

This is what most ordinary witchers do.

But Lynn doesn't have to do that.

Because he possesses the Lake Maiden's sword.

The Lake Maiden's Sword contains the divine power of the Lake Goddess, which can directly cause all evil spirits (but not limited to evil spirits) to be reborn.

For example, this one right now—

Lynn stomped heavily on his foot and rushed out at an extremely terrifying speed. One second he was still in the same place, and the next second he was already in front of the daytime demon.

Nothing fancy.

Lynn swung the Lake Maiden's Sword, which was as huge as a dragon-slaying sword, and slashed down heavily, splitting the head of the daytime demon, and then its chest.

The divine power of the Lake Maiden's Sword caused the demon spirit's entire body to blaze with golden light as if on fire during the day.

During the day, the demon let out a shrill scream, as if it were in immense pain.

Lynn slashed horizontally with his sword again, splitting the daytime demon spirit in two.

The light burned away its body, causing it to gradually dissipate in the sunlight.

The Wolf School badge on his chest stopped trembling, proving that this daytime spirit had indeed disappeared from the world.

Then, Lynn went straight to the nearby forest without stopping.

Although they are both forests, the forests of Willen and Toussaint are worlds apart.

The forests of Toussaint make one want to embrace nature, but the forests of Willen are always a ghostly and eerie sight.
