an ordinary octopus could never grow this big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in a magical world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Pontar River, no matter how large, couldn't accommodate such a huge octopus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lynn was not a scholar from Oxenfurt Academy, nor a monster enthusiast like Dorregaray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witcher needed no words to slow his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely silently drew his mastercrafted silver sword and, before the octopus-like monster could swing its tentacles to swat him away, stabbed it into the monster's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense pain stimulated all of the octopus-like monster's tentacles, causing them to twitch as if electrocuted, thrashing the river surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn gripped the hilt of the mastercrafted silver sword tightly with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted it forcefully, then slashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More blood spread underwater, dyeing the river red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick tentacle, carrying terrifying force, swept across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slammed heavily into the witcher's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mastercrafted Quen shield that had appeared around him shattered into pieces under this blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, one could imagine the terrifying fate of an ordinary person hit by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn stomped hard on the octopus-like monster's head, using the force to pull out his mastercrafted silver sword, while simultaneously shoving a Superior Dragon's Dream bomb into the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his breath and plunged into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Igni sign ignited the fuse of the Superior Dragon's Dream bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the octopus-like monster, which had been so arrogant just moments ago, exploded like a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the tentacles that had been thrashing wildly in the water instantly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the octopus-like monster's body began to sink slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar didn't know what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being dragged underwater, he had been struggling desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But underwater, he couldn't breathe, could only hold his breath, and the strength of his struggles became weaker and weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was about to give up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the tentacle that had been wrapped around his waist suddenly loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he felt a hand lifting him towards the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were tightly closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to open them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he just couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was carried in a certain direction, then a rope was tied around his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An upward pulling force lifted him out of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the force of many hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was pulled over the gunwale and fell onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was covered in river water, mud, weeds, and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only at this point that he was finally able to barely open his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the sailors gathered around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the young witcher who had saved his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after the octopus-like monster appeared, the pirates besieging the barge fled in panic, like rats seeing a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving survivors were finally able to catch their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The less injured sailors, after hastily bandaging their wounds, quickly steered the barge away from this area before the pirates returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more seriously injured sailors, along with their captain, Lothar, were carried into the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothar's condition was not optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the octopus-like monster constricted his waist with its tentacles, the suckers on the tentacles tore numerous shocking wounds on his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after applying wound medicine and wrapping bandages, blood still seeped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More seriously, Lothar had a brief moment of consciousness after being rescued onto the deck, but since then, he had fallen into a coma with a high fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no physician or sorcerer on the barge. They would only be able to find someone to treat their captain when they reached Flotsam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where they were now, it would take at least half a day to reach Flotsam at the fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lothar obviously couldn't wait that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lynn had no choice but to take a chance and feed Lothar a bottle of Superior Swallow potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swallow potion was the mildest of all witcher potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the toxicity of Superior Swallow potion was even further reduced compared to ordinary Swallow potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, it could still be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lothar was lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side effects of the potion did not manifest in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that after the previous battle, the number of sailors had been severely reduced, and their war-weariness was extremely high, so it was obviously impossible to complete this voyage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Lothar decided to send all the passengers to Flotsam and refund the extra fare he had charged them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a transfer station on the Pontar River, they could easily find captains willing to take them further in Flotsam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fare for Lynn and his dwarven companions, Lothar refunded it in full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He personally added some more gold coins to the refunded fare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a token of gratitude for the witcher's life-saving grace and the dwarves' brave fight on the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half a day later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate forests, and bugs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival muttered, swatting a mosquito that was sucking blood on his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused the dwarves next to him to laugh heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to them, the surviving sailors couldn't laugh at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Flotsam was located in the middle of a dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barge sailing on the Pontar River in the forest was like traveling inside a giant monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lush forests on both sides could at any moment shoot out arrows filled with the hatred of elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that the sailors were nervous and uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, such a thing did not happen in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barge slowly docked beside a pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sailors placed a thick wooden plank between the gunwale and the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They helped the wounded disembark, including Lothar, who was wrapped in thick bandages, his face pale and bloodless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had all disembarked, it was the passengers' turn to walk behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the towering trees surrounding them, most of the passengers showed fearful expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accustomed to living in towns and villages, they found it hard to imagine how humans could live in this forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flotsam was not far from the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards had spotted them a long time ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Scoia'tael of this era were not as rampant and frequent as the later Squirrels, people's hostility towards non-humans was not so deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking everyone's identities, the guards let them pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the dwarves were not harassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yarpen, Zoltan, and the other dwarves clamored to go to the tavern for a round of drinks first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lynn, he went to find the mayor of Flotsam alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had heard from one of the passengers that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the mayor of Flotsam had offered a high bounty for the octopus-like monster and the pirates that threatened the Pontar River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, when he sat in the mayor's office, he realized that the passenger must have had some misunderstanding about the word \"high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The total of the two bounties was only one thousand orens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, if he only killed the octopus-like monster, or only drove away the pirates...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it would only be five hundred orens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than a hundred crowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really pitifully little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn took out five hundred orens and gave this reward for driving away the pirates to Lothar and his sailors, as well as Yarpen and the dwarves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself only took the five hundred orens for killing the octopus-like monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[author]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to those who support me on
