Triss came over from her hiding place.
"Lynn, how are you, are you okay?"
"I didn't, that's fine, thank you."
Triss looked at the demon hunter several times with concern before finally confirming that he was indeed uninjured.
"Prince Adrian's men not only came to receive his share of the treasure, he actually wanted to kill everyone."
"Fortunately, Professor Grogg also had a premonition of all this and kept us here... wait, why do I feel that you are not surprised at all?"
Lynn smiled and said, "No, actually I think it's very strange."
Triss looked at her suspiciously. "But you were obviously laughing and never stopped."
"Triss, we demon hunters have received professional training. No matter how funny it is, we will never laugh unless we can't help it."
Lynn raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. This is indeed within my expectation."
The sorceress asked doubtfully, "But how do you know?"
A charming smile appeared on the demon hunter's handsome face.
"Isn't this simple? Not to mention that I have a play in my hand... Ahem, let me tell you this, Triss, there are many people who can share the hardships, but there are very few people who can share the blessings."
"If Professor Grog finds nothing during this trip, then everything is easy to say. The worst that can happen is that Prince Adrian will withdraw the sponsorship and ask the professor to return some of the sponsorship fee."
"But if like now, a ruin is discovered, and the treasure left by the Elf King is found in the ruins, do you think Prince Adrian will be obedient and just ask for his share?"
"I assure you, my distinguished lady, even if we save Professor Grogg this time, this matter is not over yet. Prince Adrian will not just let it go."
Triss couldn't help but frown.
After hearing what the witcher said, the sorceress also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Then he can only hide in Oxenfurt University?"
Lynn shook his head. "I'm afraid it will be useless even if he hides in Oxenfurt University all day long."
Academics have no national boundaries, but scholars do.
Although Oxenfurt University also claims to be a neutral academic institution, from the perspective of those in power, it is obvious that they do not think so.
During the Third Northern War, Oxenfurt University was forced to close.
Faculty and students in many departments were forcibly recruited to join Redania's army.
University buildings were also "protected" by the military.
As for the collection of books in the college's library and research rooms, they were auctioned off and used as military expenses.
The sacred temple of culture and truth, the cradle of science, art and free thinking, the diamond of the north... No matter how many resounding titles it has, it must lower its proud head in front of the king's army.
Of course, as the descendant of a declining dynasty, Prince Adrian does not have such great energy.
But it is still possible to send a few assassins to sneak into Oxenfurt University and assassinate a professor who studies elf history and culture.
Moreover, Lynn cannot protect him 24/7.
What's more, even if he doesn't send an assassin, Prince Adrian still has many ways to kill Professor Grogg.
It is impossible for a person to live without relatives and friends.
Prince Adrian can definitely use them to blackmail Professor Grogg.
And this is the wrath of the superior.
Even if Prince Adrian is only a weak superior, he is still not something that a commoner like Professor Grogg can offend.
Unfortunately, Professor Grogg has no good way to deal with Prince Adrian.
It seemed as if he had no other option but to die.
"You knew this a long time ago? You wanted to help him? That's why you accepted this commission? But what are you going to do next?"
Although the contact time was not long, Triss had a general understanding of Lynn's character.
Know that the other person will not do anything that you are not sure about.
To the sorceress's question, the witcher answered lightly.
"In my home world, there is a saying that is widely circulated:"
"If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who asked it."
Triss couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. "You actually plan to kill a noble?"
In this era, nobility is heaven.
Although the power of the nobility did not come from heaven or the gods, it also followed ancient traditions.
Even if this tradition is stupid and decadent, tradition is tradition.
Only those with the blood of a king can become a king, and only those with the blood of a noble can become a noble.
Even for a newly promoted noble who was canonized based on his outstanding military exploits, he would have to find several knowledgeable experts to hide in a dark and small room and rack their brains to describe the non-existent noble bloodline for him.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the option of "killing nobles" does not exist at all.
However, Lynn smiled nonchalantly.
"In my eyes, there is no difference between princes, nobles, and common people. As long as they are my enemies, they will all die."
Of course he knew the serious consequences of killing a noble.
So the question is, why should others know that he killed Prince Adrian?
With the backward criminal investigation methods of this era, it is too easy to keep people from knowing.
"Triss, I need you to do me a favor... Don't refuse it yet. I'm not asking you to help me kill the nobles, but I want you to buy something for me."
"That's all? Okay, just leave it to me."
Triss listened carefully and found that the help offered by the witcher was incredibly simple.
He agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, the two of them walked towards Grog together.
As early as when Lynn went on a killing spree, Professor Grogg's face was already as pale as earth.
When Lynn kills everyone, not even a single person is left alive...
Professor Grogg couldn't bear it any longer.
I bent down and vomited immediately.
It wasn't until the witcher and sorceress came over that Professor Grogg couldn't vomit anymore, and he felt a little better.
Although I had heard bad rumors about Prince Adrian for a long time, I was mentally prepared for the possibility of being stabbed in the back...
But Professor Grogg never thought that the other party would do it so cruelly.
"That bastard Adrian! I thought he would only steal all the treasures, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted my life!"
"I'm so stupid, really, I fell into his trap so easily!"
A scholar is a scholar.
Even if it is cursed, it has no lethality at all and is not painful or itchy.
The two of them waited for Professor Grogg to finish venting before Lynn stepped forward and spoke.
"Professor Grogg, you are a scholar, not a noble. You don't understand the intrigues and intrigues between nobles. This is normal."
Thanks to the idler for the reward!
