"Sir Borch, if it's convenient, can I ask you a question?"

Lynn recalled the scene of the previous battle.

"If I'm not mistaken, you used the swordsmanship of a demon hunter in the battle just now?"

There is no mention in the original novel that Three Jackdaws actually knows how to use a sword.

But Lynn secondly thought about it, and realized that this was actually nothing to make a fuss about.

After all, Borch is a one-stop service.

As a golden dragon that has probably lived longer than Regis in this world.

Taking decades to learn a swordsmanship is as reasonable as a car mechanic carrying a wrench with him, isn't it?

What surprised Lynn was that the other party knew no ordinary swordsmanship.

Instead, he has exactly the same swordsmanship as the School of the Cat demon hunter named Jad Kaladin who died in the hands of Lynn and Geralt.

"Yes," since Lynn asked, Borch did not hide it, but said frankly, "That happened many years ago."

The color of memories appeared in his eyes. "I once rescued a School of the Cat demon hunter named "Gezras of Leyda" and helped him escape from human pursuit."

"In return, he taught me this School of the Cat Swordsmanship."

Lynn was startled when he heard this.

Gezras of Leyda?

Of course he knows the name.

Or should I say so.

Any witcher who has received systematic witcher training is unlikely to be unfamiliar with this name.

Because he is the founder of School of the Cat.

It is also the only one among all the schools of demon hunters that takes the initiative to get close to Iron Sid (also known as the elf).

The founder even left a famous aphorism to the younger generations of the school:

--At all times, you should try to accept the commission from Iron Sid, not from humans, otherwise you will get a knife in the waist before you get the money.

Ever since he selected the master-level School of the Wolf Swordsmanship, Lynn has been thinking about when to get both School of the Cat Swordsmanship and School of the Bear Swordsmanship.

School of the Viper Swordsmanship and School of the Griffin Swordsmanship, on the way back to the north from Toussaint, he had already practiced with Letho and George.

Unfortunately, the swordsmanship of these two demon hunter schools is the same as School of the Wolf Swordsmanship.

This is not recorded in Kaer Morhen's Codex.

It was Lynn who only found out about it from Letho, an old senior.

The swordsmanship of School of the Wolf, School of the Viper, School of the Griffin, and School of the Manticore, which northerners do not understand, all inherit the standard demon hunter swordsmanship from the Order period.

Only School of the Bear and School of the Cat have developed their own different swordsmanship styles.

Therefore, Lynn guessed that if he learned the swordsmanship of these two schools, he might gain additional expertise just like Master-Level School of the Wolf Swordsmanship pointed out.

What he didn't expect was that the opportunity to learn School of the Cat Swordsmanship was far away but right in front of him.

"So that's it. Your Excellency Borch, I have a heartfelt request. Could you please teach me School of the Cat Swordsmanship what you have learned?"

For the rest of the day, until night came, Lynn stayed on the deck, listening to Three Jackdaws's explanation.

Since School of the Cat Swordsmanship is originally a variant of the witcher's swordsmanship, Borch will briefly touch on some of the same techniques as those of the witcher's swordsmanship, focusing only on the differences between School of the Cat Swordsmanship after the "split".

After dinner, Lynn returned to his cabin.

First, review everything you learned today in your mind.

Then he climbed into the hammock, closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became calmer.

Maybe it's because this society has not yet entered industrialization and the air is relatively fresh...

Or maybe it's because after time travel, I got rid of the anxious life of having to pay off the mortgage and being graduated at the age of thirty-five...

Every day since he came to this world, Lynn has never suffered from insomnia. Every day he closes his eyes, he sleeps like a baby.

Unless...

The mutation Trial of the Grasses brought to witchers not only makes them immune to diseases and the toxicity of potions, but also sends out a signal warning when an accident occurs.

Lynn, who was lying on the hammock, suddenly reached out his hand like lightning and grabbed the uninvited guest by the neck.

It was only then that his pair of golden pupils shining brightly in the dark cabin really opened.

When Zerrikania girl's frightened and nervous pretty face came into Lynn's field of vision.

Only then did he let go of Tea.

"You shouldn't have snuck in."

Lynn got down from the hammock and lit the kerosene lamp.

The faint light made the darkness recede some.

Tea stroked his beautiful neck, and there were still faint marks on it.

If the touch hadn't made Lynn aware that something was wrong, perhaps the girl Zerrikania would have died by now and turned into a warm corpse.

"What's the matter?"

Tea did not answer.

Instead, the next moment, he pounced on me like a little wild cat.

The kerosene lamp was extinguished.

Darkness returns to the cabin.

Under the clear blue sky, two figures were clashing swords back and forth on the deck of the privateer.

There was also a group of sailors surrounding him, exclaiming from time to time.

School of the Cat Swordsmanship is all about speed, extreme speed.

It's obviously a half-hand sword, but it can produce the effect of a swift sword.

Borch suddenly jumped and blocked Gwyhyr.

However, instead of pursuing the victory, he took a step back and put down the steel sword.

"Lynn Your Excellency, how about taking a short rest?"

The witcher had no objection and put down his weapon.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the sailors gathered around dispersed and went about their own business.

Borch is indeed a noble person.

During yesterday's gang-hopping battle, although Lynn did not observe Borch carefully, from the occasional glimpse of it, he could tell that Borch's School of the Cat Swordsmanship definitely has the skills of a master.

But since he promised to teach School of the Cat's swordsmanship to Lynn yesterday, Borch not only patiently explained the key points of swordsmanship knowledge to Lynn, but also deliberately suppressed his swordsmanship to a slightly higher level than Lynn during practice.

An opponent who can be seen and is not far away is the easiest way to stimulate a person's fighting spirit and learning progress.

Borch put the steel sword back into its scabbard, stepped forward, and showed a smile.

"It seems that you have seen Tea's abilities last night."

Lynn nodded slightly. "Yes, her performance on the battlefield is not inferior to men at all."

However, Three Jackdaws changed the subject.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about her behavior in bed."

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough--"

The witcher suddenly felt his throat felt itchy.

Cough loudly.

"I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I will never sleep with someone who protects me."

The witcher breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know why he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this answer.
