It's not me who made a promise to someone anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn had just tasted the sweetness of the sorceress, yet he could still firmly remember his task and not let his lower head control his upper head.

If properly developed, it might not be impossible to prosper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vserad adopted a laissez-faire attitude of neglect and indulgence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely ignoring the people living in dire straits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lynn's sigh, Geralt remained noncommittal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Lynn, he didn't know much about politics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in his opinion, in this world of comparing who was worse, those who didn't wage war and didn't torment their people could already be considered enlightened and benevolent lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the last rays of the sun fell on the earth, Lynn and Geralt finally arrived at Midcopse village, where Geralt had agreed to meet the knight from Toussaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like other villages in Velen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this village, from the inside out, also exuded shocking poverty everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two arrived at the open space in the center of the village, they were somewhat surprised to find a large group of ragged, sallow-faced villagers gathered there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Knight, please spare us, we beg you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm so scared!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't need your help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by the villagers was a knight wearing shining full plate armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the helmet he wore on his head was also inserted a proudly upright feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know everyone lives in the shadow of bandits, whether it's robbery or murder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I, Massimo Norris Maclino, a ranger knight of the glorious Duchess Carolina Roberta, will eliminate the thugs for you and restore your freedom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be afraid, folks, my work will be over soon, and those villains will be brought to justice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the knight's bold words did not reassure the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the expressions on their faces, it could be seen that they were even more worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knight also noticed this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he was about to say a few more encouraging words, he suddenly saw two witchers squeezing through the crowd from the back to the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Geralt, you've finally returned! Hmm? Could this one also be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that the young companion who came with Geralt also had cat-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt nodded and said to him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Massimo, let me introduce you. This is my comrade, my brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lynn, I'm sure you can see, as you thought, he is also a witcher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massimo said happily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent! With the help of two witcher masters, the glorious Duchess will definitely be saved this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, come, don't just stand outside, quickly come inside and let me properly entertain the two masters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inviting Geralt and Lynn into the house behind him, the knight loudly repeated to the villagers still gathered in front of him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, folks, I'll soon clear out those lawbreakers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they had no choice but to leave helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lynn noticed that the villagers' gazes towards the knight were not of gratitude, but of fear and dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn followed behind Geralt and entered the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to other places, this house was much more spacious and clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be the village elder's house, temporarily lent to Massimo to live in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massimo followed behind the two witchers, closed the wooden door, took off his helmet, revealing a young face full of chivalrous enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For early access to advanced chapters on p@treon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FChaos_God\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you so much for your support and for reading\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-10T06:33:50.714Z",1,"novelbin.me","b647e29fc18099f12d292f3283db39b514598cbeddbb046ca7bbb00933917ee4","the-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-chapter-346","the-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-chapter-225",398,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-cover.jpg"]
