After taking a comfortable bath in Tyensail's century-old armor shop, Lynn and Letho left Tyensail's armor shop and went back to find Orianna.
Because they had already been here once before, the guards of the mansion did not stop them and led the two of them to the reception room.
Orianna crossed his legs and sat on the sofa and said, "It seems that you have found your counterpart, which is good. Then, can I ask if the thing I entrusted to you has been completed?"
Lynn replied, "Master Tyensail has returned to his armor shop. He is still alive and has no missing arms or legs."
"Yes, I knew I was right." Orianna took out a money bag and put it on the table, "This is the reward. I know we said before that even if you two demon hunters come together, I will only pay one reward, but I still added some to it."
Lynn thanked him and put the money bag away.
Orianna had a smile on his lips and a meaningful expression on his face, "Young witcher, I admire you very much. Come to me later."
After the two came out of Orianna's mansion, Letho only took part of the reward as promised.
Standing on the busy street, Letho asked, "Do you have a place to stay in Beauclair? Do you want me to book a room in a hotel for you?"
Lynn waved his hand and said, "No need, I will live in the Beauclair palace."
"I didn't realize that you are actually a noble. It's really rude."
While saying this, Letho also saluted Lynn.
Even though Letho looks like his brain is full of muscles, in fact he is just as poisonous as Geralt.
Being misunderstood, Lynn is not angry either.
"You know Duchess Caroberta who is bedridden, right?"
Letho nodded.
"Of course, I heard that some people thought that the Duchess was cursed. Fortunately, I went out to see it, and found that that was not the case at all."
"The Duchess's symptoms are obviously that she was poisoned. Unfortunately, even I can't detoxify the Duchess... Well, what you mean is..."
Letho seemed to have guessed something and looked over in confusion.
Lynn spread his hands.
"You stayed in the underground sewer for too long. While you were busy looking for the Elf Blacksmith Master, another witcher also came to Toussaint and restored the Duchess's long-lost health."
"Guess who the witcher is? Yes, it's the one below."
Even Letho, who looked fierce, was confused at this moment.
"What the hell, you're not kidding? How did you do that?"
Lynn smiled slightly, "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."
So the two of them came to the hotel where Letho was staying.
After entering the hotel room, Lynn briefly told Letho how he rescued the duchess.
"The legendary Holy Grail actually exists? In other words, do you still carry this Holy Grail with you?"
"Do you want to see it?"
"Nonsense, who doesn't want to?"
So Lynn took out the Holy Grail from the magic pattern leather bag and handed it to Letho.
Just by looking at Letho, you can feel the divinity emanating from this Holy Grail.
While stroking it with his fingers, Letho asked in a hoarse voice.
"You know that as long as you are willing to sell it, you can easily get a noble title and a large piece of land that belongs to you, right?"
"I know, but I won't sell it."
Lynn took Holy Grail back from Letho's hand and put it back into the magic pattern leather bag.
He understands Letho's character and knows that the other party will not do despicable things like killing people and stealing goods. Letho is the same as Geralt. As long as you are his friend, you can trust him with your back.
As for Letho's proposal, he had never thought about it.
"I have a hundred ways to obtain noble titles and land. There is no need to risk offending a goddess."
Letho shrugged.
"Well, this is your freedom. Besides, when we were in the underground waterway, didn't you say that you wanted me and my brother to serve you?"
"I need to discuss this matter with my brother, but I have to ask a clear question:"
"When we first met, you accurately named me and my brother School of the Viper, but I don't remember that we had ever met."
"So, you might as well clear up my doubts, where did you know our names?"
Although Letho's tone is the same as before.
But the more sensitive observation ability brought about by the witcher's mutation made Lynn notice that the muscles in Letho's whole body were secretly tense.
This is a signal to always be ready for trouble.
He knows.
As long as he can't answer, or doesn't answer well.
Next, things will take a turn for the worse.
This familiar scene and atmosphere were experienced by Lynn from the perspective of Geralt in his previous life.
The scene at that time was called A Towerful of Mice.
The atmosphere in the room was tense to the extreme.
Lynn smiled.
"Do you think I took money from Nilfgaard people? I was sent to take your heads back?"
Letho is unmoved.
"There are no pies in the world, only traps. If you are not the one, I will be happy to apologize to you afterwards, but I'm sorry, I can't find a reason to believe that you have not been bribed by Nilfgaard people."
"From the moment we met, you recognized me at first sight. Even if you have heard my name before, even if you know from others that Letho of Gulet is a muscular man, you should not use a sure-fire statement."
"Besides, the fact that a witcher requires other witchers to serve him, regardless of the work content, is full of suspicion."
"Not to mention, don't think I can't see your potions and alchemy bombs. Those are not ordinary potions. Even I can only make them to that level. But how old I am, how old are you."
"Those alchemy bombs you used in Nekker's lair are no different from throwing money away, but you don't feel bad at all."
"For this, I can only come up with one explanation:"
"Not only did you get a generous reward from the Nilfgaard people, but they also promised to reimburse all the expenses incurred during the operation."
"But no matter what, you helped me when we were in the underground waterway. This is an undeniable fact. Therefore, I will give you two choices:"
"The first option is, you can try to pretend that we have never met. When you found the Nekker lair in the underground waterway, you were alone; when you used the alchemy bomb and Signs to destroy the Nekker lair, you were alone; when you rescued the master elf blacksmith and went to receive the reward, you were also alone..."
"You have never met me, or the demon hunter named Letho of Gulet, that School of the Viper."
"You will leave this hotel room, and I will leave Beauclair and disappear without a trace before the end of today."
"As for the second option..."
"If you refuse my kindness, if you insist on not letting go of the gold that the Nilfgaard people promised to pay you, then we will have to draw our swords and face each other."
"I saw your skills when we were in the underground water. You are one of the most skilled demon hunters I have ever seen in my life. But if we insist on fighting to the death, the result may not be what you expected."
"Moreover, as a senior in this field, I feel I have an obligation to give you a warning:"
"Nilfgaard people cannot be trusted."
"So, your answer is..."
After Letho finished speaking, Lynn smiled and said.
"I'm very grateful that when you had doubts, you chose to speak up rather than just draw the sword."
"But I still have to declare that I have not accepted gold from Nilfgaard people, nor has anyone sent me money to deal with you."
"The proposal I gave you before is true and valid. I really need demon hunters to serve me, and it's not just you."
Letho frowned.
He kept staring at Lynn.
The latter also looked directly into his eyes.
"There is no deception in your words. Either you are at the pinnacle of disguise, or you are telling the truth."
"Hell, I actually believe you... well, I hope you really won't give our heads as gifts to the emperor."
"But I still can't help but ask, what do you want to do?"
Seeing that Letho had lowered his guard, Lynn stood up from the chair and walked to the window of the hotel room.
Let the sunlight coming in from the window fall on your shoulders.
He opened his arms like a saint.
"I have a dream:"
"I dream that one day, in this sun-drenched continent, witchers will be able to be respected like knights errant and receive flowers and applause."
"I have a dream that one day, even Kaedwen, a country where justice has disappeared and oppression is rampant, will become an oasis of freedom and justice."
"I have a dream that one day, my descendants will live on a continent where they will be judged not by the color of their eyes, but by the quality of their character."
"I have a dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will descend, the rough and tortuous roads will become smooth, and the Holy Light will be revealed and the world will be illuminated."
