Did I come to the right place? Don't be afraid, I just have a few questions I'd like to ask the owner of this shop and his daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greisha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John, working in the back of the bakery, heard the commotion outside and quickly dropped what he was doing and came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he also saw Lynn's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a witcher. My name is Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John pulled his daughter behind him and shook his head: \"I apologize, sir, we don't know you. If you're here to buy bread, I'm truly sorry, our bread is just average, it might not suit your taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to cause you trouble. I just want to ask you a few questions, and once I'm done, I'll leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John saw Lynn sitting in the chair, not moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that if he didn't humor the man, he might truly stay here indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really just want to ask a few questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then ask, sir. Anything I can answer, I will tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know another witcher with eyes like mine, who carries two swords on his back like a bow?\" Lynn paused, then continued, \"His full name is Geralt of Rivia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John nodded: \"Yes, I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John's cooperation pleased Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent, we have a good start. See, as long as you answer the questions properly, we can avoid a lot of trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he often came to your shop to buy bread?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John nodded again: \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be more specific. For example, when did he come, how much did he buy, how did he pay, and did he say anything during those times?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John thought hard for a moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He usually came when we were about to close. He'd buy enough bread for a dozen or so people each time, and always paid in crowns... He, he didn't say much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know where he lives, or where he usually goes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he thought it unlikely they would know, Lynn still asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, both Old John and Greisha shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, next question... Do you know a citizen named Alfred?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John suddenly became agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Citizen? What kind of citizen is that scoundrel? He's a bastard! A rogue! Scum!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\" Greisha quickly grabbed her father's hand, tugging hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worried that her father's sudden outburst would displease Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lynn's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this wasn't so simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me about this Alfred scum. Tell me everything you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn had a premonition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Geralt could be released depended entirely on this Alfred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greisha asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, may I ask, what is your relationship with Sir Geralt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is my brother. I would go through fire and water for him without hesitation, and he would do the same for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know much about witchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, most people didn't consider witchers to be human. Although they mutated from humans, most people regarded them as a completely new race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A race called \"witchers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the North, the reputation of witchers was not good at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though most witchers simply did their jobs for money, people instinctively felt afraid when they saw a witcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why both father and daughter were so nervous when Lynn entered the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Lynn said he was \"Geralt's\" friend, and that their bond was strong enough to face any danger for each other...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Geralt\" had left a very good impression on the father and daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if he was \"Geralt's\" friend, perhaps he too was a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father and daughter then relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's it... Alright, since you are Sir Geralt's companion, I will tell you everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We first met Sir Geralt about half a month ago. He would come to our shop every day, buy enough bread for a dozen or so people, and then leave without saying anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until the day Alfred appeared before us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John patted his daughter's shoulder and gently said, \"Let me tell it, my dear daughter. You go to the back and get us two cups of water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greisha looked worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under her father's gaze, she limped into the back room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alfred, he's my younger brother. He's been idle and lazy since childhood. Ever since my parents died, taking care of him became my responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, if it were just about providing him food and drink, it would be nothing. As long as I had something to eat, he wouldn't starve. That was my duty as the eldest son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the problem is, not only does he not work, he's also a gambler.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old John sighed with exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gwent, dice... he gambled on everything. I'd work hard all year to earn some money, and before I could even spend it, the debt collectors would come knocking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, you've seen my daughter's condition, haven't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn narrowed his eyes and asked, \"Yes, what happened to her leg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a rare disease. As long as we can save two hundred crowns, she can have surgery at the Oxenfurt Academy's affiliated hospital, and she'll be able to walk like a normal child...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....Official source is novel(ꜰ)ire.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For advanced chapters:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want early access to 120 chapters of this fiction, you can check Patreon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>👉 Join now: patreon.com\u002FChaos_God\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-10T06:33:50.715Z",1,"novelbin.me","72223f07be3223fa43cdeffb124f511ceac6bb7560e79da0e94faf07e2b6c3b6","the-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-chapter-127","the-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-chapter-337",398,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-cover.jpg"]
