Lynn put down the Kovir longbow and passed Witcher Senses to confirm that there was no one alive in the farmhouse.
However, just to be on the safe side, he walked into the farmhouse to check the situation.
When he found Jager with an arrow in his head, he couldn't help but feel his good luck.
His original plan was to kill all the Jaeger's Gangs in this abandoned farm so that no one would know that it was him.
But Jager died here, which is of course a better ending.
This means that even Jaeger's Gang still has remnants.
But without Jager, Jaeger's Gang will soon be annexed by other gangs.
After that, Lynn groped for a while on the corpse in the farmhouse.
Most of them don't have much money.
Only on the person of Jager, I found a few promissory notes of Vivaldi Bank. Through simple addition and subtraction calculation, the total amount was about several thousand Novigrad crowns.
Lynn Put it into the magic pattern leather bag.
"Thank you for the gift of nature."
Instead, he walked towards one of the other two barns.
When he came to the door of one of the barns, he didn't even open the door. Just standing at the door, he could already smell the smell of blood wafting from inside.
He first turned on Witcher Senses, but didn't even notice a gasp.
So without any hesitation, he kicked the barn door open.
In an instant, the strong smell of blood, corpse odor, and other odors were all mixed together. It was unclear what the odor was, and it could no longer be suppressed and hit his face.
Strangely enough, although the senses of demon hunters have been enhanced, they are much sharper than ordinary people.
But the resistance of witchers to odor seems to be stronger than that of ordinary people.
For example, ordinary people may not be able to bear the stench coming from this barn even if they wear a mask.
But Lynn didn't have much discomfort except for smelling very bad.
Of course, these are not the focus.
Compared with this, the shocking scene in the barn attracted the witcher's attention more.
The barn looked like a slaughterhouse.
Coagulated and dried blood was everywhere.
Flies are flying around.
Corpses were hung upside down like bacon.
Every corpse had obvious signs of being butchered.
A more specific description cannot be given.
In fact, it's not like Lynn has never seen such a horrifying and disgusting scene.
The corpses that have been eaten by corpse-eating creatures all look like this.
But the marks on these hung corpses were obviously not teeth marks or bite marks, but marks of being slaughtered by swords.
In other words, the person who did this to them was not a monster, but a human being.
In other words, it can be said that it is a "monster" wearing human skin.
The clothes worn on the bodies are not local clothes, they should all be the companions of Roche.
Unfortunately, none of these in the barn are alive.
Fortunately, Roche is not among them.
Lynn retreated from the barn and set the barn on fire with Igni Sign.
This is the only thing he can do for these victims.
In another barn, Lynn was lucky enough to find the person he was looking for.
"Vernon·Roche?"
Deep in the barn, there is a wooden cage with a person in it and excrement everywhere.
The man in the cage could not see the face of the interrogator clearly. He could only see a pair of cat eyes lighting up in the dim barn. "Who is talking?"
"Witcher, you can call me Lynn."
While talking, Lynn's hand movements did not stop.
With a flash of cold light, the wooden cage that trapped the man was cut into a square hole by Lynn.
"Can you still move? Do you need me to help you leave?"
"No need."
The man struggled out of the wooden cage and staggered towards the barn door, the only light shining through.
When he came outside the barn, he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.
It took me a while to get used to the outside environment.
And when he saw the bodies of the dead Jaeger's Gang members, especially Jager, he couldn't help but look shocked.
"Did you do all this alone?"
"What, you don't believe it?"
"No, I believe it."
From the place and direction where the corpse fell, Roche could tell whether they encountered one enemy or a group of enemies.
Then he discovered the burning barn.
"I hope you don't mind, this is a wilderness, and if their bodies are not burned, corpse-eating creatures will soon be attracted here."
Roche nodded.
He breathed in the fresh air, but his mood at this time was extremely complicated.
Don't get me wrong.
Of course he was full of gratitude to Lynn.
Just...
His companions were all dead, and he was the only one left alive. The feeling of guilt made him so depressed that he felt like he couldn't breathe.
suddenly.
A palm was placed on his shoulder.
He was stunned for a moment.
"It's not your fault."
Lynn looked directly into Roche's eyes and repeated again, "It's not your fault."
An hour later.
Lynn and Roche left the farm and returned to Novigrad's "The Spear Cave" tavern.
"I owe you my life, Your Excellency, and I will definitely find a way to repay you."
Roche is sitting opposite Lynn.
He had already taken a shower, put on clean clothes, and shaved off all the beard and stubble on his face. His whole image and temperament had become completely new.
Lynn nodded and said straight to the point, "In fact, if you are willing, I just have a job here for you."
Vernon Roche, in the original plot, he was fished out of the gutter by King Foltest.
And gave him the authority to set up a special force to deal with Scoia'tael active in Temeria territory.
That is what became famous later "Blue Stripes".
In order to repay the kindness of King Foltest, Roche and his subordinates followed King Foltest in the north and south.
Even when King Foltest was assassinated and Kingdom of Temeria was occupied by Nilfgaard, he did not follow the example of other nobles and raise his hands to surrender. Instead, he fought to the end with the Nilfgaard people in the forest, in the fields, and on the hills like the Scoia'tael who had been dealt with by them.
And what Lynn likes is the loyalty of Roche.
There is no doubt about Roche's ability.
Even after Temeria had been occupied by the Nilfgaard people, Roche still led his subordinates and continued to cause a lot of trouble for the Nilfgaard people.
So much so that the Nilfgaard people had to offer favorable conditions that were different from other conquered areas in exchange for Temeria's endless resistance movements.
It is precisely because Lynn is very aware of Roche's abilities, so he also needs Roche to form a special force.
If Syndicate is the eye hiding in the shadow, then the special force of Roche is the sharp knife hiding in the shadow.
He will give Roche some time to recuperate.
After Roche has rested, he will divide the beggars collected by Syndicate into two.
Transfer half of the beggars to the command of Roche so that this sharp knife hidden in the shadows can better play its role.
