The head of the family's words revitalized the atmosphere at the banquet.
Perhaps they were trying to forget the unpleasantness just now, but many people's noises seemed exaggerated, as if they were done deliberately.
"Madman"Lugos also sat down obediently, saying nothing more, and just drank heavily.
Lynn continued to drink and eat meat as if nothing was wrong, without showing any embarrassment or other strange expressions.
After the banquet, Lynn went to take a quick bath, and then returned to the guest room prepared for him by the owner of the house.
But instead of lying down to rest, he sat on the bed and entered into meditation.
When the time came to nearly three o'clock in the morning, he opened his eyes, got off the bed, put on his sword, opened the door and walked out.
It was dark and silent outside the house, except for the occasional crackling sound from the torch used for lighting.
Except for the guards standing guard and patrolling, everyone else had already fallen asleep.
Even without drinking magic potion, a witcher's night vision ability is not even a bit better than that of ordinary people.
Under the cover of darkness, Lynn arrived outside the lord's longhouse without disturbing anyone.
The lord's longhouse is both a meeting hall and a place where the lord lives.
Naturally, there were guards standing guard outside the lord's longhouse.
However, these two guards, like most humans of this era, suffer from night blindness.
The demon hunter hiding outside the range of the firelight could not be seen at all.
It was only when Lynn took the initiative to step into the place illuminated by the fire that they discovered someone was there.
Both guards instinctively made a fighting stance, but they relaxed after seeing Lynn's iconic cat eyes, the two swords on their backs, and School of the Wolf's armor.
"Master Lynn, it's so late, why don't you rest? What's the matter?"
"It's Mr. Lugos who wants me to come to him at this time to discuss important matters."
The two guards looked at each other, both seeing each other's helplessness.
"This... Master Lynn, it is already at this time, the lord may have gone to bed long ago, and he did not notify us that anyone will come."
These two guards were not worried that Lynn would assassinate "One-Eye" Lugos.
If the purpose of Lynn cleaning up Haunted Castle for Clan Drummond is to make "One-Eye" Lugos put down his guard, then this would be too much fuss.
In fact, what these two guards were really worried about was that they were afraid of disturbing the master of the family's rest.
Lynn is now a distinguished guest of Clan Drummond and a celebrity of Clan Drummond. Naturally, it is impossible for the master of the house to take it out on him.
Then wouldn't the two of them...
Just as the two guards were hesitating whether to go in and report at the risk of offending the head of the family, the voice of "One-Eye" Lugos came from the longhouse.
"Who's out there?"
The guard hurriedly reported, "Sir, please forgive me, it is Master Lynn who is visiting us late at night."
"It turns out to be Master Lynn. In that case, let Master come in."
The guard was relieved.
"Come in, Master."
Lynn nodded and entered the lord's longhouse.
In the dark long room, only a few candles were lit, and the light was weak. Most of the room was in darkness. Only the area near the seat where "One-Eye" Lugos was sitting was illuminated by candlelight.
"One-Eye"Lugos has taken off his armor, wearing a robe, and sitting on the seat.
He asked in a strange tone.
"Master Lynn, it's so late, do you have anything to do with me?"
Lynn played with the taste. "Didn't Master Lugos ask me to come to you at this time?"
"When did I say that?"
"During the banquet in the courtyard, you tapped me on the shoulder three times, didn't you just ask me to come over at three in the morning?"
"One-Eye"Lugos smiled.
"Master Lynn not only possesses the power of Hemdall, but also the wisdom of the goddess Hulda. If the master had not repeatedly stated the neutrality principle of the demon hunter, I would have really wanted to make the master a vassal of Clan Drummond."
"How about it, Master? Although the Master once told me "One-Eye"Lugos that demon hunters never participate in politics, there is an old saying Skellige Isles:"
"Calling a tree cannot change its living environment, but if people change their environment, they may have better development."
"I think this ancient saying is very reasonable. I don't know what the master thinks."
"If the master is willing, I can set aside part of the land in the southeast of Thornflower Castle as the master's fiefdom."
"In this way, not only the master, but also the demon hunters of the master's school will no longer have to live a life of sleeping in the open. What does the master think?"
"One-Eye"Lugos feels that he has shown enough sincerity.
You must know that on the mainland, demon hunters are similar to lepers. It is too late for others to hide when they see them. Even the princes and nobles only regard demon hunters as tools.
Unlike me, I am willing to give land to the demon hunter.
Of course, he admitted that it was impossible to hand over all the land in the southeast of Thornflower Castle to the other party.
But at least the other party will be given enough land to build several villages.
With these lands, it would not be a problem to support at least a few demon hunters.
Faced with the kindness offered by "One-Eye" Lugos, if Lynn didn't have the big plan of "making the Witcher great again" in his heart, he might actually agree.
Although the land of Skellige Isles is relatively barren, it is still a fiefdom.
If a witcher stays on the archipelago, he will not be discriminated against because of his different eye color. Instead, he will be treated like a hero by showing his bravery.
"One-Eye"Lugos thinks very well. If it were another demon hunter, he might agree.
But Lynn's goal is not limited to being a small village chief on the archipelago.
So I'd better skip it.
Therefore, Lynn used a tactful but firm tone to reject the kindness of "One-Eye" Lugos.
I was rejected one after another, but "One-Eye"Lugos was not angry at all.
He has long known that even a lord cannot get everything he wants.
The owner of Clan Drummond still understands this.
Next, he began to inquire about the possibility of reconciliation with the an Craite Clan, hoping that Lynn could help him analyze it.
Although he has never seen Crach of the an Craite Clan with his own eyes, he has heard of Crach's reputation. It is said that he is a rising star of the an Craite Clan, and he managed an Craite Clan's vassals to be obedient at a young age.
Therefore, "One-Eye"Lugos felt that if he took the initiative to extend an olive branch, the other party would not refuse.
It's just that Clan Drummond is an outsider after all - although when Clan Drummond came, an Craite Clan did not have enough manpower and financial resources to rule the entire island, so the southern part of Great Skellige Island was left to waste, but after all, Great Skellige Island was originally his family's territory since ancient times.
As long as there is no bloodshed and the problem is solved completely at once, no hidden dangers are left.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be conflicts between the two families in the future.
And this is exactly what worries "One-Eye" Lugos.
Bleeding, how much blood is appropriate.
