Wouldn't that be wonderful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after contacting the sorceress with the message box, he realized he had oversimplified the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number of people teleported at once was too large, magic power alone would not be enough. It would also require a large amount of casting materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lynn knew this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was another point: portals could only be opened to places that the sorcerer had personally visited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was a place they hadn't been to, teleporting directly was prone to accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Triss had heard of Kaer Morhen, she had never been to the Wolf School's home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she would have gladly accompanied Lynn to take a look, asking her to leave for an entire winter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Foltest would obviously not grant her such a long leave. \"The fog is thick, truly the best time for an ambush, don't you think, witcher?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with a voice, the captain of the barge walked up to Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was luck or coincidence, it was hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the same captain whose barge Lynn had taken from the Duchy of Tretogor back to Novigrad before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't introduce myself last time, my apologies. I'm Lothar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witcher nodded. \"Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain reached out and shook hands with the witcher, then asked a question that surprised the witcher slightly. \"Which school are you from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn raised an eyebrow. \"You know about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar laughed heartily. \"If you, like me, come into contact with all sorts of people, you'll learn a little about all the strange things in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wolf School.\" Lynn touched the snarling wolf head medallion hanging around his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as it's not the Cat School. I've heard the Cat School are all murderers and lunatics?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn didn't answer the question directly. \"Generally, as long as you don't hire them and then withhold their pay, you'll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he changed the subject. \"Let's not talk about that. Tell me about you, Captain, or rather, Lothar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember you running the Novigrad to Tretogor line, how did you end up here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witcher's change of topic was abrupt, but the captain sensed that the other party didn't want to discuss the previous topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he followed along with the other party's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the Pontar River hasn't been peaceful lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar could feel Lynn looking at him with surprise and doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard some small things happened on the Pontar River. Many barges went missing, so many captains are unwilling to travel the Pontar anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I'm willing to take a risk and charge passengers twice the usual fare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn asked doubtfully, \"Aren't you afraid of encountering the 'small things' that others have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afraid, but this is my last voyage. Once I return to Novigrad, I'll retire, sell the boat, and quit for good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar rubbed his shoulder. \"The money I've saved over the years is enough for me to buy my own house in the lower city of Novigrad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn's face twitched, and he quickly spat a few times into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Couldn't you have waited until we got back to say that? Did you have to say it on the boat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tradition in this world was like this: if someone said or heard unlucky words, they had to spit quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might ward off bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some might think it was superstition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he put it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Lynn was a materialist, but wasn't this a case of \"when in Rome, do as the Romans do\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it didn't cost anything, so he might as well believe a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar probably also realized that his words just now were a bit inappropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he also spat into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for you, Master Witcher, I see that those non-humans all look up to you.
