The young women opening the wine barrels are my companions, whom I believe you've already met, Master Dorigaray.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\" Dorigaray replied stiffly. \"The beautiful Zerrikanian warriors have already exchanged greetings with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, well! To your health!\" Dandelion began distributing the wine and food brought by Vea, offering some to every halberdier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I imagine,\" Dorigaray said, taking a delicate sip of wine, \"that your reason for waiting at the bridge is the same as mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Dorigaray, if you're referring to that dragon, then indeed it is.\" Dandelion replied, \"I wish to be present and compose a ballad about it. Unfortunately, this captain won't let me pass—he demands a pass, which I find quite rude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being placated by food, the captain stuck to his principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize, but I cannot allow unauthorized individuals to pass. I am compelled to do this. It seems every person in Holopole has their carriage ready, preparing to hunt the dragon in the mountains, but I must follow orders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, however, waved a hand and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to apologize. You have a duty, and you've performed it. In my opinion, you don't need to apologize for anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, Master Dorigaray, you were mistaken about one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorigaray snorted. \"I'm listening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason Master Borch, the two beautiful ladies, and I are stopped here is simply that we intend to go to Holopole; it has nothing to do with that dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, since this path is blocked, once we finish this food, we will turn back and detour to Holopole via Hengfors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What conspiracy are you plotting, monster slayer?\" Dorigaray narrowed his eyes. \"A Witcher not interested in murdering a monster is as absurd as a cat not pouncing on a bird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn spread his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think what you like, Master Sorcerer. The truth is, I have no conspiracy whatsoever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Lynn intended to turn back, Dandelion immediately grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was his first meeting with Lynn, Dandelion had long considered Lynn a friend, owing to Lynn saving his junior, Mariliel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you saying, Lynn? You're truly not interested in that dragon? It's a dragon, a poisoned dragon on the brink of death, a dragon that any farmer with a scythe could approach, lop off its head, and become a revered dragon-slaying hero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you truly not tempted to try? The King's dragon-hunting party set out hours ago, but they definitely won't reach the Kestrel Mountains where the dragon is hidden today, let alone find its lair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as this kind Captain is willing to let us through, we can gallop and catch up to the dragon-hunting party by evening at the latest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his Witcher friend, Dandelion knew all too well how difficult the Witcher profession was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside the honorary title of Dragon Slayer, even the treasure in the dragon's lair would be enticing enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain still insisted, \"My orders are... hiccup... no one without a pass may cross, no matter who they are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dandelion stood up, frantic, messing up his curly hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May the plague take you! Damn it, can't you just toss that cursed pass aside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, however, chuckled, as if genuinely unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no interest in the empty fame of a dragon slayer, nor in the riches within a dragon's lair. Besides, I am currently Master Borch's bodyguard, and my commission only ends once Master Borch reaches Holopole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until then, I have no intention of being distracted by anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, not only that, but I also believe that dragon is far from deserving of an討伐 (tǎo fá - punitive expedition\u002Fpunishment).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though it ate some sheep, it did not actively attack anyone... Note, I said actively attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the two who died by the dragon's maw... You can't possibly expect a creature that has just been poisoned and is now suffering terribly from it, to smile warmly at strangers approaching it with weapons and ill intent, can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget a dragon; even a traveling merchant, encountering two armed people approaching them in the wilderness, might kill out of self-preservation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dandelion was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can hardly believe those words came from a Witcher's mouth. I thought only that Witcher friend of mine had such a twisted personality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Witcher said, \"It's not twisted; it's my principle. I have my own rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thereafter, no one spoke further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, all the food brought by Thea and Vea was eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still plenty of wine left, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Borch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn looked at Borch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borch nodded. \"Hmm, then let's leave now. Captain, Bard, and Master Dorigaray, I wish you all a smooth journey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dandelion doffed his hat in salute, and the placated captain also nodded, \"And to you, too, a fair wind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorigaray hesitated for a moment, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Witcher, I apologize for doubting you earlier. I simply did not imagine that even among sorcerers, there are rarely any who share my views. I never thought I would find such a noble individual among a group of monster specialists who live by hunting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please accept my sincerest apologies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I accept your apology, Master Dorigaray. Farewell, Dandelion, Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the four rode a considerable distance, leaving the bridge far behind and out of sight, Borch, still mounted, hesitated for a long time before finally, as if making an important decision, spoke to Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Lynn, there is something that has been buried in my heart for a long time, and I believe I should no longer conceal it. It is time I told you... about my true identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lynn thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, who held the \"script\" in his hands, had long known that Borch's true purpose in coming to Holopole was to help the dragon that had been poisoned by humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Borch hadn't brought it up before, Lynn had pretended not to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Borch was finally willing to show his hand, Lynn would no longer evade the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, rather than explaining it with words, it would be better to demonstrate it directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For advanced chapters:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get early access to 120 advanced chapters before anyone else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>👉 Join now: patreon.com\u002FChaos_God\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-10T06:33:50.715Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef334561d9ce6923d75da0a567479685e4faa82539a5f11e62ec5174273fad36","the-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-chapter-186","the-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-chapter-238",398,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-witcher-make-the-witcher-great-again-cover.jpg"]
