What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn looked at the changing face of the captain: \"There was a man who didn't die, and you know what, he wasn't a merchant in disguise as an Aedirnian soldier, but a real Ebbing merchant from the South.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain blushed immediately and protested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That man, you released him? You fools, he is a spy sent by Nilfgaard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn spread his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were hired to burn corpses, not burn alive individuals. And you very clearly said they were impersonating Aedirnians, why are they Nilfgaardian spies now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain spat on the ground: \"I don't waste time arguing with you, leave! Get out of my sight! Dirty mutants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn smiled coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come now, have you forgotten something? We have done your job, now do yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain, with a look of fury, drew out the long sword at his waist with a swoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bums didn't do it properly and still have the cheek to ask me for money? You're not leaving, are you? If you don't leave, you'll be hung for spying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the captain's order, the soldiers who were standing around them also closed in on them with ill will, trapping them in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn had the steel sword hilt under his back in his right hand, but did not draw it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt stood guard behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his previous life, every time Lynn read how depravedly Witchers were treated in \"stories,\" he always thought that surely it was some kind of exaggeration by \"story\" creators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never been able to manage to believe that there really were such fools with not enough headroom and too much courage in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biology is really diverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just don't get why people always want to fight combat-ready Witchers, or rather two of them. Isn't this a call to death? Is it because we're not scary enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen, we are not Toussaint rangers, and we don't want to deliver justice. We just want to take our own reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had to loot a great deal of valuable items from that Nilfgaardian caravan, I suppose? Why go out of your way and find two enemies in Witchers for the sake of one hundred ducats?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you pay us the reward, we will be gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this utterly normal request, the captain's attitude was one of contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, there are five of us, and only two of you. The odds are on my side! Shut up with your garbage, freak! You should be afraid, not us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since a fight was sure to ensue, Lynn was not polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are really stubborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left hand quickly did the Igni sign gesture and pushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame deluge erupted from his palm, consuming the still bellowing captain and a second guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant of time, both their faces were on fire, dancing and wailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numeric advantage in the captain's mouth was halved in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not yet the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn unsheathed his steel sword with a swish and slashed at a guard in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard was shocked at the woeful sight of his friend being burned by the fire. His mind went blank and he did not react at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he was decapitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another guard roared and jabbed his halberd at Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was parried away by Lynn's steel sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the steel sword grated against the halberd, leaving a trail of sparks, and cut off the guard's fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the latter let out a shrill cry, the steel sword cut his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm flow flowed into his body along the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt, however, dispatched the last guard in neat fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole battle was a flash in the pan. In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers still whining about mutant freaks just now became warm corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Witcher philosophy is to kill monsters and protect humans, even the founders who made the philosophy weren't so naively white-left to compel Witchers not to protect themselves when their lives are on the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the Witchers themselves are also \"people\" under the \"protect people\" of the principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the two Witchers did not have any moral blame or psychological burden to search through the dead guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they collected the bodies in a heap and burned them up using the Igni sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone would destroy all the clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there was a person who would find this burnt heap of bodies, they could not have the least idea who did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Kaedwen's border, the two continued south through and into Aedirn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Kaedwen, the Aedirnians they encountered were very different from Kaedwenians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Aedirnians were afraid of Witchers so much, but most Aedirnians showed fear in their eyes when they saw fully armored Witchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even some who seemed to be hooligans did not come near to make any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This saved them much trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, they noticed a notice for Witchers on a bulletin board near a town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a Witcher, mayor.
