"A door protected by magic?" Professor Grogg said in surprise, "Master Lynn, even you can't do anything about it?"
Lynn spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm just a demon hunter. I have no problem cleaning up monsters, mechanisms, etc. in the ruins, but magic is really not a demon hunter's strong point."
Professor Grogg scratched his head. "But I heard, aren't witchers good at breaking curses?"
"Removing the spell on others and removing the spell protecting the door are two different things. Although I know there is no difference in the eyes of laymen, the reality is different."
Even though Lynn had already explained it, Professor Grogg still asked unwillingly, "Is there really no way at all?"
A door protected by magic, even a fool knows there must be something good inside.
If it is reported to Oxenfurt University, Oxenfurt University can of course invite a warlock.
But these days, the status of warlocks is not comparable to that of demon hunters.
Two hundred crowns can hire a witcher to help clean up the ruins.
Even for two thousand crowns, you can't even hope to hire a sorcerer...
Especially since there may be more than two thousand crowns of treasure inside.
Maybe even if the entire elven underground ruins become the property of Brotherhood of Sorcerers, it would be ridiculous.
Things like this have not never happened in history.
After all, even the most respected professor in Oxenfurt University must obey the orders of the kings.
But kings need to listen to the opinions of sorcerers when making many choices.
The difference between the two is obvious.
If possible, Professor Grogg is really unwilling to let the warlock interfere.
Seeing that the other party had a sad face and seemed helpless, Lynn could only speak slowly.
"Well, although I can't help, I have a friend who happens to be a sorceress. Maybe she can help."
Professor Grogg's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated and asked, "What about the cost..."
Lynn thought about the sorceress's personality.
I feel that even if people are really willing to go there empty-handed, Lynn can't really let people do that.
You have to give the other party a little sweet taste.
"If there is treasure in it, you have to give her a share."
"That's... okay."
Professor Grogg agreed with a grimace.
This is already the best result.
It is better to give out an extra piece of treasure than to have all the results taken away by Brotherhood of Sorcerers.
After receiving a positive response from Professor Grogg, Lynn walked to a place far away from the camp to ensure that no one else could eavesdrop on their conversation, and then he took out a shiny silver box.
This is exactly the sound transmission box that Triss gave him before leaving Novigrad.
After starting to operate according to what Triss taught me before.
A surprised voice soon came from the other side of the sound box.
"Lynn?"
"It's me, Triss, is it convenient for you to talk now?"
"Of course, I am just about to contact you. The reward I promised you last time has been prepared. I am planning to go over to find you. Where are you now? Are you still at Novigrad?"
"No, I'm not at Novigrad right now, and that's not why I contacted you. However, it's good to hear good news."
Then, Lynn told her what had happened to him during this period and the reason for contacting her.
The voice in the silver box thought for a moment and said, "So, a door protected by magic? Well, I can come and have a look. It's no problem. Anyway, even if it doesn't succeed, there won't be much loss."
"So, you agreed?" With Triss's help, it can be said that it is stable now.
"Of course, but, Lynn, are you sure we only take two copies of the treasure? If you want, we can actually take a few more secretly, and no one else will know anyway."
Lynn really thought about Triss's proposal seriously.
But he didn't think about it for too long before he refused.
"Forget it. Since you are being paid by others, you have to show some credibility."
Triss continued, "What does it matter? As you said, your employer has never entered the ruins with you. How does he know how much treasure is inside?"
This time the demon hunter hardly hesitated and shook his head directly.
"He doesn't know, but I know that they just called me here because they trust me. If I do this, wouldn't I betray their trust?"
"What's more, Professor Grogg has promised to give me a share of the treasure if he finds it, which is already very good."
Money is something that no one can ever have too much of.
If Lynn is just a demon hunter.
Then he might just accept Triss's temptation.
But he doesn't just want to be a witcher.
Therefore, it is not a bad thing for him to take a slightly longer view.
Of course, the more important point is that based on his understanding of Mengte, Triss is not that kind of person.
If it was Kayla or Philippa who said this, then he might really be instigating Lynn.
But Triss is not such a person.
She is a rare decent person among the group of warlocks who are known for their rationality (at least the warlocks themselves think they are very rational).
She is neither the kind of sorceress like Philippa, who has no problem setting the world on fire with her own hands as long as she can achieve her goal;
She is not the kind of sorceress like Francesca. As long as she can build a Utopia belonging to the elves, it doesn't matter even if she sacrifices her compatriots who fight side by side and sells them to the northerners at a good price;
Not even the kind of Vilgefortz. In order to obtain the power of Elder Blood, he has planned for decades and personally triggered a world war...
What Triss said just now was more like a joke than encouragement.
"Well, if you insist, I'll see you later."
Sure enough...
From the sorceress's tone, Lynn did not hear much disappointment, but instead seemed to have some recognition and appreciation in it.
Half an hour later, a portal appeared in front of the demon hunter.
Triss, still dressed in hunting attire, walked out of the portal.
Before Lynn could say anything, the sorceress came forward and gave him a sweet kiss.
After a long time, the two separated.
"Your reward."
She took out a finely crafted leather bag and stuffed it into the witcher's hand.
Witchers have very keen senses.
The leather bag was so light that it didn't look like it contained two hundred crowns.
But out of trust in the sorceress, Lynn said nothing and just put his hand into the leather bag.
And after he did this, he realized what kind of gift Triss had given him.
