In fact, I usually don't eat this much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For those in our line of work, we need to always keep a clear head. If we eat too much, blood flows to the stomach for digestion, reducing the blood supply to the brain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borch laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Lynn, you truly are an interesting person. How wonderful it would have been to meet you earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not too late now,\" the witcher smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well said, Sir Lynn. Do you have any other business to attend to here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then would you be willing to accept a contract? A escort mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd like to hear the details first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. For certain reasons, I need to travel to Holopole. Do you know where Holopole is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holopole was on the western side of the Kaedwenian Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eastern side of the Kaedwenian Mountains was Kaedwen itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This city, along with Maribor, Creyden, and Caingorn, once belonged to Kovir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during the \"Poviss Split,\" the city, like other regions, broke away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now a free city-state, protected by its local militia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Three Jackdaws wanting him to escort him to Holopole, it was naturally related to the dragon from the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why Borch deliberately brought up topics related to dragons, to gauge Lynn's attitude and interest in dragon slaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, due to the immense distance between Novigrad and Holopole, coupled with intentional information suppression...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in Novigrad currently knew about the dragon sightings near Holopole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn knew Borch's purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon in Holopole was in danger, which was why it had summoned Borch for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since Borch hadn't stated it explicitly, Lynn temporarily pretended to be unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn thought carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly had nothing that needed his immediate attention in Novigrad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was progressing positively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it wouldn't hurt to accompany the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey from Novigrad to Holopole was long, and the fastest way was by ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the port, one would first sail to the Duchy of Arcane Shores, disembark, and then travel upstream along the River Braa to reach Holopole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a night at the tavern, Lynn and the others arrived at Novigrad's port the next day. The wealthy Three Jackdaws directly chartered an entire merchant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that Lynn possessed a storage item like a runic leather satchel, Three Jackdaws purchased large quantities of food and drink before they boarded, all packed into Lynn's runic leather satchel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the journey to the Duchy of Arcane Shores, Borch not only had the purchased food and drink enjoyed by his own party but also shared them with the sailors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the entire merchant ship was chartered, the captain generously offered three cabins to Lynn's party:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cabin each for Lynn and Borch, and the two Zerrikanian girls shared a cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the day, the four of them would come out onto the deck to get some fresh air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borch recounted his experiences and observations while traveling the Continent as a nobleman, and Lynn shared his own adventurous tales since becoming a witcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing unexpected happened, this journey should have passed uneventfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, unexpectedly, something did happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the merchant ship's deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, Borch, Tea, Vea, and the captain gathered at the stern.For more chapters visit novelꜰire.net\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn raised his spyglass, seeing a blurry ship silhouette on the distant sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered the spyglass, handing it to a curious Borch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter, however, didn't use it himself but casually placed it in Vea's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Zerrikanian girls, like children just arriving at Universal Studios, eagerly took turns looking through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borch asked: \"How can you be sure it's a pirate ship? I don't see a pirate flag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a golden dragon, he didn't need a spyglass to clearly see the distant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain replied: \"They've been following us for five hours, sir. I can't think of any other reason besides them being pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sailor said: \"Could it be that they're just heading in the same direction as us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not impossible, but it's better not to risk... Can't we shake them off, Captain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Borch's suggestion, the captain regretfully shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, their ship is better than ours. There's no way we can shake them off before we get close to land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Jackdaws then turned his gaze to the witcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Sir Lynn, what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn thought for a moment and said: \"I suggest we best treat her as a pirate ship, just in case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Lynn's thoughts align perfectly with mine. Excellent, Captain, I suggest you have your sailors prepare. My companions and I will also be at your disposal when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain was overjoyed at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the moment he spotted that suspicious ship silhouette, he immediately sent someone to call the four of them up for this very reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zerrikanians were natural warriors, trained in combat from a young age, and it was hard to find better guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for witchers, these monster slayers knew even better how to spill entrails onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their willingness to help, this was a sure victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain bowed deeply, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immensely grateful. Now, please excuse me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeated thanks, the captain hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others could hear him loudly issuing commands to his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salty sea breeze caressed Borch's face like a lover's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was no expression of alarm on the golden dragon's face, usually seen in unexpected situations. Instead, he was full of eager anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pirates, huh... Sir Lynn, have you encountered pirates before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I have,\" the witcher nodded. \"Sir Borch, since we have a fight ahead of us, we'd best get some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes sense.
