The battle ended quickly.

Lynn shook off the blood on the sword and returned it to its sheath.

He took out his hunting knife and took out the needed materials from the big Forktail.

The smaller cub had been roasted to a crisp by him, and there was no more material left.

Then, he groped around in the lair again.

Unfortunately, it is not like in computer games where you can find equipment that glows with purple light.

He only eats the remaining bones, the same food as reserve food, and the eggs laid by Forktail.

If left alone, it won't take long for a new Forktail to hatch.

If you were an ordinary witcher, you would only have one choice at this time:

That is to use Igni Sign to burn all these eggs.

But Lynn has another option.

He put all these eggs into the magic pattern leather bag.

After returning to Novigrad, go to the auction house to sell it.

Some warlocks like to buy monster eggs and cultivate them themselves from an early age.

Ordinary people are definitely not familiar with it.

But with the help of magic and potions, the warlock is different.

Some warlocks like to tame several monsters as their pets.

I just like this feeling of being surrounded by stars.

Lynn was very satisfied with the results of his first actual test of his improved strength.

Forktail He had encountered this kind of creature when he was still an apprentice.

At that time, he was still hunting successfully with Eskel and Lambert.

But now, he can do it easily by himself.

After a battle, his physical strength and chaos magic power were extremely low, and this battle was far from the limit that required him to exert all his strength.

This makes Lynn feel at ease.

In this world full of dangers, force is the guarantee of all good things.

This is especially true for the goals he wants to achieve in the future.

Inside the mine, the mine owner paced back and forth anxiously.

He doesn't know whether Lynn can succeed.

He only knew that if Lynn failed, he would have no choice but to find another druid.

How much it costs to ask a druid to take action is another matter. The key is that it takes a lot of time to go back and forth and waste time on the road.

Without work for so many days, he suffered huge losses.

Just when the mine owner was thinking wildly, there was a sound of footsteps.

But Lynn is back.

Seeing Lynn holding two bloody packages in his hands, the mine owner was surprised at first, and then asked happily, "You are back, master, how are you? Have you found out how the sheep fly?"

"I have checked everything clearly. The sheep falling was not a natural disaster, but was caused by Forktail."

Lynn threw the package on the ground and said.

"Fork what?"

"Forktail is a kind of dragon-like creature. It has arms spread over three meters. It also has fangs and sharp teeth. Its tail is more powerful than a battering ram. If it hits a person, it is basically impossible to survive."

The mine owner has never seen this monster, but based on Lynn's description, he doesn't want to see it either.

"You said Forktail threw the sheep down? But why did it do that?"

Lynn spread his hands and explained patiently.

"Forktail is a carnivorous creature and will eat any kind of meat. One Forktail cub caught a sheep, but when it flew over the mine, it was stabbed in the eye by a tree in the forest near the mine."

"I was in severe pain, so I dropped the dead sheep and hit the poor worker."

"As for the roar you are talking about, it was the cub of Forktail that made it when it was stabbed in the eye."

The mine owner didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

"Please tell me you killed that beast."

Lynn pointed at the two packages on the ground.

"Yes, I not only killed that monster, but also spared its mother. You don't have to worry anymore."

The mine owner breathed a sigh of relief, and then said a little embarrassedly.

"Master, you are very thoughtful and worthy of praise, but I can only pay you the agreed amount. This is all I have."

Just like in Night City, it is never possible to make a lot of money by relying on the small remuneration given by the middleman. If the demon hunter only knows how to earn the meager remuneration for the demon hunting commission, this will be the case in this life.

The current Lynn has long looked down on the three melons and two dates entrusted by the demon hunter. It is purely just to increase the favorability of Skellige Isles's camp.

"It's okay."

"Thank you, Master, and may Freya protect you."

Port of Holmstein.

This port is located south of Great Skellige Island.

This is the territory of Clan Drummond.

But there are very few ships docked at Port of Holmstein.

In the legend of the Islands, all the bloodlines of the Islands families can be traced back to the mythical hero Hemdall.

It is said that one summer solstice, he left the hunting lodge and saw the goddess Hulda.

The two fell in love and were inseparable from each other all summer, but when autumn came, Hulda had to leave.

This is also what the people of the Islands think, why summer is the most pleasant time on the Islands, because Hulda and Hemdall stay on the Islands together.

Hemdall and Hulda gave birth to six sons in total, and the six Skellige families were born.

Hemdall allows them to rule an island alone, but they must first drive away the indigenous people on the island or make an agreement with them to gain the power to rule the island.

One of the sons of Hemdall is called Mordvarg.

What he obtained was the leadership of Undvik Island.

But he doesn't have outstanding abilities like his brother.

He is neither smart nor particularly brave, nor does he have any special talents to be called a hero.

So Mordvarg resented his father because Hemdall did not give him a strong talent.

However, Hemdall insisted that he gave all his sons equal talents.

But not all his sons' talents will be revealed at the same time.

Therefore, Mordvarg must wait patiently for the right time.

But Mordvarg obviously cannot accept this rhetoric. He thinks it is just an excuse for his father to be partial.

So he asked for trouble again and again, not only to express his dissatisfaction, but also to foolishly and recklessly believe that doing so would make his talent manifest.

But his behavior made Hemdall very angry, and he decided to hide Mordvarg's talent even deeper.

In the end, Mordvarg's life was filled with many exciting adventures, but he never found his talent until his death.

The descendant of Mordvarg is Clan Drummond.

The people in this family are just like their ancestor Mordvarg, they are pretentious but have no great abilities.

Clan Drummond gave up Undvik Island where his ancestors lived very early, and came to the more affluent Great Skellige Island, and took root in the south.

Such uninvited visits naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the an Craite Clan, who has lived in Great Skellige Island since ancient times.
