The headquarters of Eternal Fire is located on a small island connected to Novigrad. Since this island is completely the territory of Eternal Fire and no one is allowed to approach it, this island is also called Temple Isle.
But today, Lynn, led by a Temple Guard, entered this Temple Isle.
The two of them passed through layers of dense guards and finally came to an office door.
"You just wait here, I'll go in first and let you know."
Temple Guard asked Lynn to stay outside and go in by himself.
After a while, the office door opened again.
"Okay, Master Chappelle will let you in."
Lynn walked into the office and the door closed behind him.
"You have a nice environment."
He looked around.
The interior decoration is exquisite and beautiful, even if it is the office of Earl, it is almost like this.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Lord Chappelle?"
Chappelle smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, adults. In private, you can still call me Sasha as before."
"Fortunately, I thought that power would create a sadly thick barrier between us." Lynn smiled and sat down in front of Chappelle.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. You specifically asked Dudu to inform me that I would come to you in the name of accepting a demon hunting commission. You definitely didn't do it to show off your new office to me."
"Tell me, is there anything I can do for you?"
Chappelle nodded.
He was not polite and talked about the things that had troubled him recently.
"This is actually what happened..."
No one would have thought that Chappelle, Eternal Fire's security officer, Novigrad's powerful figure, was actually a fake.
The real Chappelle is already dead.
The current Chappelle is just a Doppler called Sasha.
Doppler is a very strange race.
The peculiarity here does not refer to the fact that they can change their physical appearance at will, but to their character.
Doppler There are almost no treacherous and evil people. The worst evil they can do is to steal other people's things.
It's okay to cheat, but it's absolutely not okay to kill someone.
There is no thought that Doppler will harm human life, not at all.
Eternal Fire Under his management, although not everyone is doing good, at least the number of death row prisoners has been greatly reduced compared to before.
And the ones who were really executed were finally the villains who really deserved to die.
However, these actions of Chappelle also caused some radical elements among Eternal Fire to become suspicious of him.
Eternal Fire's teachings are originally good, but if they can't stand up to any organization, there will always be a few rat droppings that spoil the whole pot.
Eternal Fire is no exception, there are even more than a few mouse droppings.
These radicals are not interested in the teachings of Eternal Fire at all. The only purpose of joining Eternal Fire is to get promoted and make a fortune.
Originally, what they had always done was rely on extortion to enrich their wallets; they relied on killing good people and taking credit to improve their political achievements.
As a result, Chappelle suddenly appeared and immediately caused a lot of trouble for them.
Their incomes have dropped sharply, and their promotions are far away.
They say that killing someone's wealth is like killing their parents.
Chappelle not only cut off their financial path, but also cut off their way to promotion. Naturally, these guys were thinking in private about some evil ways to get him down.
After listening to Chappelle's story, Lynn stood up and said, "Okay, I understand."
Chappelle was stunned. "What do you understand?"
Lynn squeezed his knuckles so loudly that it mattered.
"Of course we need to get rid of those troublesome guys. Otherwise, why don't we still keep them for the New Year?"
"I didn't ask you to come here to eliminate dissidents for me."
"Then you have a better idea?"
Chappelle paused.
"This... I haven't thought of it yet."
"Isn't it over then?"
Lynn knows that unless he is a very evil person, Doppler is still unwilling to hurt people's lives.
Especially in this situation, it looks like killing people for selfish reasons.
But the witcher doesn't have such mental internal friction.
"If you feel bad, you might as well think about it this way," Lynn spread his hands and continued, "If it weren't for me, and you were weak and were pulled down by those radicals and let the radicals take power, what would Novigrad be like?"
"If you can't think of it, let me tell you, first of all, they will burn all the herbalists and alchemists in the city;"
"Then there are non-human races like dwarves and elves;"
"Finally, there are humans who do not believe in Eternal Fire..."
"Under their bloody rule, Novigrad will flow into rivers of blood, and I don't know how many people will die by then."
"Now, do you understand? This is not to eradicate dissidents, but to protect the people. If we don't get rid of them, hundreds or even thousands of people will die in the future."
Chappelle remained silent. After a while, he said, "You are always right."
"That's because I stand on the side of the truth," Lynn stretched out his hand to the security officer, "At least you know their names, right? Give me the list, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
After coming out from Temple Isle, Lynn contacted Syndicate.
He handed the list to them and asked them to investigate whether the names on the list were all radicals who killed good people and took credit for their crimes.
It's not that I don't believe Sasha, it's just that these people have no enmity with Lynn. It's always right to investigate first before taking their lives.
To avoid killing the wrong person, it will only increase your mental exhaustion when you look back on it.
Syndicate was very efficient, and within a week, the investigation results were available.
Drake and her men did a great job. Not only did they find evidence about the radicals, they also obtained their addresses and daily travel records.
Now Lynn has no worries.
Two days later, at noon.
Inside a mansion in Shangcheng District.
Lynn shook off the blood on Gwyhyr Sword's body and returned it to the scabbard.
Next to him were the corpses of twenty or thirty heavily armed Temple Guard.
In the past two days, he has been attacking quickly in the order of the names on the list.
Anyway, Glamarye has changed his appearance, so he is not afraid even if he is seen while assassinating the target.
If there are many guards around the target, just kill them and run away.
If there are few guards, then kill all the guards who see you.
The owner of this mansion is the last person on the list.
Lynn took out the list he got from Chappelle from his arms, and a ball of flame burst out from his fingers, lighting the list on fire.
He threw it away casually.
Watching that list turn into ashes.
Through these few days of fighting, Lynn has confirmed his current strength.
Even without the magic potion, his current speed has reached a point where ordinary people cannot react at all.
In his home world, there is an old saying that the only martial arts in the world that cannot be broken is fast.
Speed is the key to victory.
Being fast not only means that when you take the opponent's life, the opponent has not yet reacted; it also means that you can jump out of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy surrounds you.
With this advantage, small-scale enemies cannot pose a threat to him at all.
When encountering a large group of enemies, he can also rely on his speed to keep them far away.
