The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 260 You all have dirty hearts when playing politics

In the original plot, the disintegration of the Warlock Brotherhood was not just a conspiracy from the south.

The northern kings also did not want to see the existence of a group that could dictate to them and was independent of them.

In addition, everyone within the Warlock Brotherhood has their own agenda.

Therefore, the "Thannid Island Coup" that led to the disintegration of the Warlock Brotherhood in the original plot was actually the result of the royal power of the north and the south, plus the internal friction of the Warlock Brotherhood itself.

After the coup on Thanedd Island, what followed was the fall of Temeria and the witch hunt that swept across the entire north.

In this massive witch-hunt, the status of sorcerers suddenly fell from being at the top to being a rat crossing the street.

Even worse than the witchers.

Before the start of the Witcher 3 game story, after the fall of Temeria, Margarita knew that without Foltest's protection, if they continued to stay in Aretusa, they would sooner or later face the same fate as Kaer Morhen.

It will be even more miserable than that.

So she took her students and made the long journey to Novigrad.

Because she heard that Triss, who was hiding in Novigrad, was planning to lead a group of warlocks to escape to Kovir.

At that time, it was Istrad's son, Tankrid Tissen, who ruled Kovir.

Tankrid could not compare with his old father in many aspects, but he did inherit one of Istrada's virtues, which was kindness.

When the entire north was engaged in a vigorous witch hunt, only Kovir under the rule of Tankorid was the last pure land, willing to accept these warlocks whose reputations were actually no different from rats crossing the street.

If Margarita and the others were allowed to escape to Kovir, it would not be impossible to rebuild Aretuza in Kovir later.

Instead of meeting Triss, they were captured by the Redanians.

If Margarita was alone, she could have easily gotten away.

But her students could not escape.

So, for the sake of her students, she chose to stay and surrender to the Redanians with her students.

Then, the Redanians burned her students one by one, leaving her behind last.

In The Witcher 3, if it weren't for Geralt, the most outstanding sorceress taught by Tissaia might have died miserably at the stake.

As for Tissaia, her end happened long, long before Margarita's.

"Well, I understand almost everything I should understand."

Tissaia held out her hand. "Would it be too presumptuous of me to say I'd like to visit Kaer Morhen, the headquarters of your Wolf School, this winter?"

The words just now are enough to prove the value of Lin En as an ally.

If the Warlock Brotherhood really faces a disaster in the future, then making friends with a future lord will at least provide a way out.

Lynn smiled.

He knew that the other party had been convinced by him.

He also extended his hand and shook hands with Tissaia.

"Of course not, Lady Tissaia. It is our honor to have you visit Kaer Morhen."

In this way, there was another guest in Lynn's villa.

After Tisha moved in, Lynn let Regis and Dettlaff stay in a hotel temporarily.

So as to avoid being discovered by the high-level sorceress Tissaia about their true identities.

High-level vampires are different from non-human races.

Elves, dwarves, and gnomes are all non-human races.

Most humans who are not so extreme still do not treat non-human races with tinted glasses.

But high-level vampires are different.

No one would consider high-level vampires to be a non-human race.

Instead, they will only be treated as monsters.

Lynn wasn't sure what the high-level sorceress was thinking, but after all, the time they spent in Novigrad was getting shorter and shorter.

Why add unnecessary complications?

The next day, Yennefer still looked cold, but it was obviously different from yesterday.

Apparently, the assist Lynn gave to Geralt came in handy.

When Geralt saw Lynn, he gave him a thumbs up in gratitude.

……

As the departure date drew closer, Lin En had already decided who to take with him, starting with Tissaia and Yennefer.

The method of analyzing and optimizing secondary mutations falls entirely on the shoulders of these two high-level sorceresses.

It's impossible not to take them.

Then came Letho, Oaks, Serrit, and George.

Even though Letho and his group were from the Viper School, and George was from the Griffin School.

But since Reso and the others are now serving him, rounding it off, it is actually equivalent to serving the Wolf School.

They should also be allowed to meet with Eskar, Lambert and others.

By the way, persuade Eskar and Lambert to help him.

Don't go out in the wind and rain anymore.

The profession of demon hunter, if compared with modern professions, can't even be considered a Filipino maid.

It's a complete illegal job.

Only illegal workers would be like this, crawling around in garbage dumps and stinking water, doing dirty and tiring work that even the lower-class people are unwilling to do, and getting the most meager pay.

Sometimes you can't even get it.

It’s already like this, why are you still running around outside?

As for the principles of protecting humanity...

Witchers have protected humanity for centuries.

Not only are humans ungrateful, some even think, "If monsters don't exist anymore, what's the point of having witchers?" So what's the point of protecting them?

Therefore, the most important thing now is not to protect humans, but to protect the group of demon hunters.

The most important thing is to ensure your own survival.

Otherwise, it will just gradually die out like in the original plot.

Finally, there was Cassia and the seven homeless children brought back from Holopor.

Lynn planned to make the seven homeless children into witchers and had asked for their opinions beforehand.

Of course, Lynn knew that people often couldn't make choices when they had no choice.

Therefore, Lynn will give them another chance to make a new choice after they have completed their physical training during their apprenticeship.

By then, if any of them were unwilling, Lin En would never force them.

Of course, even if they don't want to become demon hunters, there will be a place for them in the future planned by Lynn.

As for Cassia.

Lynn had made her decision earlier.

No matter how high the survival rate becomes after the improvements to the Green Grass Trial in the future, it will not allow her to become a demon hunter.

Finally, before officially setting off, Triss also sent a message through the voice box.

She first expressed regret at not being able to spend the winter in Kaer Morhen with Lynn.

Then, he told Lin En that his previous guess was correct.

She and Margarita spent several days looking through all the books in the Aretuza Library.

We did find a notebook left by a warlock ancestor who had participated in mutation experiments during the Demon Hunter Order.

The codex contains many records about the witcher mutation experiments.

One of them is that if children with different physiques accept the Green Grass Trial of the corresponding style school, their success rate can indeed be increased by 10% to 20%.

People's physiques are inherently different.

For example, a thin but flexible child is undoubtedly suitable for the Cat School; but a big and tall child should definitely become a demon hunter of the Bear School.

Those who can vaguely sense the chaotic energy should be cultivated into the Griffin School, etc.

When it was still the Witcher Order, there were far more Witchers than there are now.

why?
In addition to the fact that the Order's recruitment does not only rely on the law of accidents, but can also take in homeless children as reserve soldiers, one of the reasons is to give children more diverse choices.

With a group of sorcerers as the scientific research team, led by Alzu and Cosimo, they can naturally arrange different children to the most suitable schools in a reasonable and scientific way.

Unlike after the split of the sect, the various schools had no contact with each other. After finally using the law of accidents to find the child, it is impossible to give up just because the child's physique is not suitable.
