Those hicks in the north only look down on you, but your fellow craftsmen in Toussaint want you dead
Lynn came out of Letho's hotel room with satisfaction.
Letho has agreed.
He will follow Lynn to the north when he leaves.
But this does not mean that he will follow Lynn forever.
If Lynn cannot pay wages as promised.
Or what they actually saw didn't match the pie Lynn drew.
They will be very disappointed with Lynn and leave forever.
Lynn completely understands this.
Even if his grand plan is to revive the witchers, the short-term interests of others must be taken into consideration.
If short-term benefits cannot be achieved, how can long-term benefits be achieved?
Since Letho are willing to follow him, this is already an excellent result.
As for the rest...
He didn't lie.
When they go there, they will naturally know.
Next, Lynn rushed to the next destination - Tyensail's armor shop without stopping.
During Tyensail's absence, the store had a backlog of orders.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to the armor shop, Tyensail just took a shower and started working hard without even taking a rest.
At this time, after learning about the arrival of Lynn from the clerk, Tyensail quickly dropped what he was doing and walked out.
After some simple greetings, Lynn directly set out to find the master elf blacksmith.
"Master Tyensail, what do you think of the north?"
"Ignorance, backwardness, the history of the North is full of only two words - cannibalism."
The face of the master elf blacksmith was full of disdain.
However, his reaction was within the witcher's expectations.
In this era, information from thousands of miles away mainly relied on travelers and adventurers in caravans and taverns who claimed to have been to the north, based on a mixture of exaggerated descriptions and conjectures.
It would be good if one or two percent of this information is true.
Let's take war as an example.
Although wars often break out between Northern Kingdoms, since the upper echelons of each country have some marriage relationships, the intensity of the wars is generally not that great.
Under such circumstances, the people in the north have also figured out their own way of survival.
When the army approaches, they will take valuables and run away. If they cannot take away the valuables, they will hide them. They will come back when the division of interests is completed.
But this is a war between Northern Kingdoms.
It's different in the South.
Nilfgaardian Empire was able to quickly annex other southern countries within a few decades because of destruction.
Destroy everything.
There are no rules to speak of.
In order to reward the nobles, officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers who contributed in the war, the empire needs to ask the original lords of the conquered areas to leave.
Of course, considering that their lives may be problematic after losing their land, the empire will thoughtfully send them to the gallows so that they no longer have to worry about their lives.
Naturally, the new lords who received the reward could not work in the fields themselves, so the emperor issued another decree:
Any Nilfgaard person who goes to settle in a conquered area can receive 500 acres of land allocated by the empire and be tax-free for ten years.
And this is why the Nilfgaard army destroys everything wherever it goes.
How can we resettle the Nilfgaard immigrants without killing all the people on this land, burning all the villages, and robbing everything?
Of course.
Nilfgaard people don't think they are conquering.
In their words, this is called injecting civilization and advanced genes into barbaric and backward areas.
Although Tyensail is not a Nilfgaard person, he is not even a human being, but an elf.
But after all, he has settled in the south for a long time.
I have been influenced by the Nilfgaardian Empire's long-term propaganda and education.
Naturally, people in the north think that the north is a barbaric land because all the people in the north eat raw meat and drink blood and eat the same old food.
"Then what do you think about Toussaint?"
"Not bad. Although non-human races will still suffer from some implicit discrimination, at least they don't have to worry about their own lives."
This is true.
Toussaint There have been very few massacres against non-human races.
Of course, this was before.
Lynn, who held the script in his hand, knew that soon Toussaint would usher in a bloody and cruel massacre.
And the master elf blacksmith in front of him would also unfortunately die in that massacre.
"Then if I say, Master Tyensail, I ask you to give up everything in Beauclair, go to the north to start a new life, and start all over again, would you be willing?"
Tyensail immediately shook his head and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Then you definitely don't want to. I'm doing a good job here, why should I go to the north?"
What kind of international joke are you kidding?!
He has already made a name for himself in Beauclair and has established a firm foothold.
Now let him go to a strange place and start all over again.
Is he a fool?
The master elven blacksmith's answer was within the witcher's expectation.
But since Lynn came to Tyensail, he was naturally confident.
So he smiled slightly and said with a confident smile.
"Master Tyensail, do you know that Duchess Caroberta has regained her health with the blessing of Lady of the Lake?"
"I just heard from the employees in my store that it seems that a demon hunter brought back the Holy Grail given by the goddess." At this point, Tyensail couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Wait a minute, is that demon hunter the master?"
Lynn originally wanted to explain to Tyensail.
After all, when he came back with Holy Grail, this person was still trapped in the underground sewer.
But now that I've heard about it, that's better.
"Yes, it's me, but I took the initiative to bring this up, not to express anything. What I want to say is that the assassin who stabbed the duchess and almost lost her life was the elf."
Lynn shut his mouth and watched the other person's face change from stunned, to shocked, to horrified.
He instantly lost his color.
"What did you say?"
The reaction of the master elf blacksmith made the demon hunter very satisfied.
"Master Tyensail, you should know what this means. The duchess is in Toussaint. She is a supreme existence, but now she almost died because of the attack of the elf assassin."
"If I've come this far and you still don't know... or don't want to believe what's going to happen next, then it's up to me to break your illusion."
"Although Toussaint's persecution of non-human races is not as severe as Kaedwen's, those racists in Toussaint who believe in human supremacy are still trying to make trouble in the dark."
"Once they know that it was an elf assassin who attacked the duchess, they will definitely take action."
"Please note that the actions I am talking about here do not refer to how loyal they are to the duchess."
"Instead, they will satisfy their personal desires in the name of avenging the Duchess and upholding justice."
"Those human armorers who also hold hammers, but are not as skilled as you, will smash your head with a hammer, your armor shop will be looted by them, your store will be redistributed by them, and you may not even be able to rest in peace after you die."
"Perhaps after the riots subside, your honor will be ratified by the Beauclair court, and the Toussaint people will mourn you in a decent way, and maybe the day you were killed will be used as a festival."
"But are you sure this is what you want?"
