After staying in Castel Ravello Vineyard for a few days, Lynn, Geralt, and Regis left the manor.
Although the identity of "Baron Brandon" cannot be used to suppress people when encountering unruly people, it can actually be used to do many things.
Such as investing.
His big plan for the future will require huge amounts of money, and naturally it cannot be supported by just this small territory.
Now that things on Toussaint's side have been almost settled.
Then his next plan is to establish a chamber of commerce of his own in that free city after returning to Novigrad.
At that time, you can use the identity of Baron Brandon from Toussaint.
The difficulty of establishing a chamber of commerce as a commoner is completely different from that of a noble.
Since the latter is a noble, he can naturally avoid a lot of trouble.
Although the Toussaint nobles belong to the south, they are not actually excluded by the northern nobles.
On the contrary, the northern aristocrats are much closer to the aristocrats from the south than the common people in the north.
Even if the Northern War breaks out one day in the future, it won't matter.
Not to mention that Toussaint was a neutral country in the three northern wars. Even the Nilfgaard merchants were not affected much by the northern wars.
On the contrary, after the end of First Northern War, cheap goods from Nilfgaard also flowed in through the ports of Mahakam, Verden, Brugge and Cidaris.
Since the handicraft industry in the north is generally not as good as Nilfgaard, it is not possible to reduce labor costs as much as Nilfgaard.
Therefore, once too many Nilfgaard cheap goods enter the country, the country's handicraft industry will be severely hit and will collapse.
The northern kings could not close their borders, because doing so would be opposed by merchants engaged in import and export trade.
Businessmen only care about business and don't care about politics.
Therefore, Toussaint's noble status will only bring him benefits and almost no harm.
Now, there are only two things left for him to do in Toussaint.
The first thing is to retrieve the master-level equipment blueprints of the three demon hunter schools that were lost in Toussaint for various reasons.
The second thing is closely related to the witcher. It is the important key that determines whether the witcher can get rid of the shame of being "restrained by the pitchfork" - Secondary Mutation's method.
As long as these are completed, Lynn will have no place to miss in Toussaint and can return to the north.
As the saying goes, the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step.
Things have to be done one by one.
However, he didn't want to be a fool by himself and collect all the master-level equipment blueprints from the three schools.
Therefore, he came to a campsite outside the city of Beauclair, where he met the long-awaited Letho, and the other two demon hunters of School of the Viper, Auckes and Serrit.
After Lynn reached an agreement with Letho, Letho also used School of the Viper's unique contact information to contact Auckes and Serrit who escaped from the Nilfgaardian Empire with him and came to Toussaint.
The relationship between the threesome is as good as the iron triangle of School of the Wolf's Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel.
So even Auckes and Serrit felt that this was not very reliable - after all, in their decades of witcher careers, they had never seen a witcher who could live comfortably, let alone a witcher employer - but out of their trust in Letho, they still chose to stay.
The reason why I choose to camp in the wild is because staying in a hotel is too expensive.
Therefore, the three of them have been camping in the wild.
There is not much difference between the two of them and their appearance in The Witcher 2. Lynn can be recognized at a glance.
After greeting each other, Lynn took out two bags, one large and one small, that had been prepared long ago from the magic pattern leather bag.
Throw it over.
The small one contains nine hundred Oren.
The big ones are some advanced magic potions and alchemy bombs made by Lynn himself.
"Here is your first month's salary, as well as the props you will use."
"Next, the first thing I need you to do for me is to go to the three locations I will tell you about and retrieve the witcher master-level equipment blueprints that were lost there."
Although School of the Viper is not as emotionally deficient as School of the Bear, it is not as emotionally rich as School of the Wolf. Relatively speaking, their facial muscles still do not fluctuate like normal people.
But after hearing what Lynn said, the three of them looked shocked. "The master-level equipment blueprint is in Toussaint? How did you know?"
The master-level equipment blueprint, which is the same as the Potion of the Grasses formula, is the most valued treasure of every demon hunter school.
For example, the master-level equipment drawings of School of the Viper and the formula of Potion of the Grasses are on the body of Letho.
How could there be a school's master-level equipment blueprints left behind in Toussaint?
Disbelief was written all over the three people's faces.
But Lynn was the employer and had paid them, so the three of them went to the location specified by Lynn.
There are three people, Letho, plus the high-level potions and alchemy bombs sponsored by Lynn, and they were informed in advance of the risks they may encounter...
This first thing is stable.
Next, Lynn can go directly to the second thing:
That is to grab Geralt and go with him to find a way to help the demon hunter Secondary Mutation.
As we all know, after receiving Trial of the Grasses, the body mutation of the demon hunter apprentices of every school has been completed.
Skills can be practiced, experience can be accumulated, experience can be enriched, and connections can be expanded.
But his physical growth almost stalled and he could no longer progress further.
Due to the different Mutagen in the Potion of the Grasses material used when Trial of the Grasses is used, the mutation directions and effects of demon hunters of different schools will also be different.
For example, School of the Cat has almost lost the ability to use Signs. Instead, their speed will be superior to other schools.
School of the Bear is more adaptable to wearing heavy armor. Heavy armor has almost no burden on them, and they also prefer to use powerful and heavy attacks to directly crush the enemy.
School of the Griffin is a master of using Signs. Demon hunters from other schools may only be able to release a few Signs in a battle, and their power is average...
However, School of the Griffin and Signs have obvious advantages in terms of battery life and power.
School of the Viper is close to School of the Cat, but unlike School of the Cat which blindly emphasizes "fast but not broken", School of the Viper has made great achievements in poisons.
They even developed different poisons for different targets.
School of the Viper usually applies corresponding sword oil and School of the Viper's unique poison to the sword.
As long as you are even scratched by their swords during the battle, you can basically declare that the countdown to death has entered.
It is the different Mutagen that lead to the above-mentioned different schools of demon hunters with distinct distinctions.
As for Mutagen, which has different effects, it will cause demon hunters within the same school to receive exactly the same training, but have different strengths.
For example, among the new generation School of the Wolf demon hunters, Geralt is stronger than Eskel, but Lambert is the weakest.
It is because when Vesemir configures Potion of the Grasses for them, the effect of Mutagen used is different.
And when Trial of the Grasses ends and the mutation is completed, the demon hunter's body enters stasis.
In the next hundred years or so, most demon hunters will maintain the physical and mental state equivalent to those between eighteen and forty years old.
And Secondary Mutation... As the name suggests, it breaks the body's stagnant state and causes it to mutate again.
