"Let me introduce to you brothers, this is Lord Gerd, the demon hunter from School of the Bear, the one next to him is Master Mousesack from Druid Circle, and the last one is Ms. Aglaïs from Brokilon."
When Lynn was introduced, the three of them nodded in greeting.
"It's easy to say," Zoltan said with a carefree smile, "The friends of the demon hunter are my Zoltan's friends, and they are also the friends of our brothers."
"If you need anything, just tell us brothers."
Zoltan glanced behind Lynn, and then asked doubtfully, "Didn't Mr. Vesemir come back with you? Or will he come back later?"
Lynn nodded. "Well, Vesemir won't come back for the winter this year."
In fact, after Lynn returned to Novigrad last time and talked with Vesemir, Vesemir had some plans to really want to retire.
In the past, Kaer Morhen was in a precarious situation, and School of the Wolf was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time, so Vesemir had to work hard, otherwise even the last bit of people's hearts would be scattered.
But now School of the Wolf is operating in an orderly manner. Not only School of the Wolf, but other schools of thought have also come to Kaer Morhen Castle to participate in the grand event, so Vesemir can rest assured.
Therefore, Vesemir is ready to step down from his responsibilities as a parent.
Not only was he tired for a lifetime and wanted to take a good rest; it was also to send a signal - now the decision-maker in Kaer Morhen is no longer him, but Lynn.
Vesemir does not have the opportunity to receive knowledge and education like the nobles, but the experienced old people also have their own set of experiences:
He knows that among wolves, there can only be one alpha wolf.
Of course, Lynn understands and is grateful for this.
Although there will always be a place for Teacher Vesemir in his planned future, if the teacher plans to retire peacefully and live a leisurely old age from now on...
Then as a student, whatever you can do will naturally be respected and blessed.
"Come on, let's go in quickly and we'll talk inside."
A group of people walked into the castle.
Come to the training ground in the courtyard.
I saw a row of wooden stakes placed in the corner of the training ground. One of the seven children Lynn brought back from Holopole City was on the wooden stakes, avoiding the pendulum moving back and forth.
The so-called pendulum is a thick piece of wood hung up, as thick as a bucket, that moves back and forth like a swing.
The child held a wooden sword in his hand and was constantly moving on the wooden stake, attacking and avoiding the pendulum.
The other children stood on the periphery, observing the movements of the child on the stake.
Lambert crossed his arms on his chest and kept accusing him impatiently.
When Lynn and his group came over, Lambert nodded at Lynn, his stern expression softened, and then he said to the children who were practicing.
"That's enough, come down."
The child dodged the pendulum that hit him and somersaulted down from the wooden pile.
This acrobatic action made Lambert's scalp explode.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he instinctively wanted to curse, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Lynn present, and finally took a deep breath and managed to suppress the scolding.
But the other children cheered for him, as if he had just won the knight's championship.
The child took off the blindfold on his head and squinted his eyes subconsciously.
After his eyes adjusted to the light, he noticed that the usually empty training ground now had a few more guests.
"Lynn-sama!"
He hurriedly reacted as a Holopole person would when seeing a noble, dropped the wooden sword in his hand, and bent down deeply.
The lively atmosphere came to a halt.
Only then did the other children discover the arrival of Lynn.
He also quickly bowed and saluted in the same way.
"Hmm."
Lynn nodded, greeted them with a smile, and inquired about their current situation.
These children are his base.
No one understands the importance of grassroots construction better than him.
When Novigrad was in Novigrad, Eternal Fire's actions of reaching out to the grassroots and sending warmth were also done by Chappelle under his instructions.
Because the sages of his home world have long said that water can carry a boat but also capsize it.
The children were flattered by Lynn's greetings and friendliness.
They immediately felt that all the hardships and fatigue they had endured in the training for almost a year were worth it.
During these days in Kaer Morhen Castle, in addition to providing them with targeted physical training, their teachers also devoted themselves to imparting knowledge to them.
This includes the status of witchers in this world, and the difficulties and challenges they will face when they become witchers in the future.
After the children clearly understood this, they still did not regret the choices they made.
They were originally neglected orphans. Without Lynn, they would either die of hunger and cold, or be forced to join local gangs and be asked to work as pickpockets.
If you can't even be a pickpocket, your hands and feet will be cut off and you will become a beggar.
Such is the fate of children like them.
Until he breathes his last breath, he is a tool for the gang to make profits.
But now, their fate has changed.
Because this beam of light from Lynn shines into their dark world.
Therefore, they are willing to give everything for Lynn.
Including life.
Being watched with eager eyes by the children, Lynn also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
In the past, as long as he took care of himself, one person would be fed and the whole family would not be hungry.
But now, he is surrounded by everyone's expectations.
What he decides will no longer be just him, but the fate of many people who are willing to follow him.
"It turns out that Teacher Vesemir has always shouldered such a heavy burden before?"
A child asked curiously, "Master Lynn, what did you say?"
"No, it's nothing?" Lynn shook his head.
Immediately, he glanced around among the children, but did not find the familiar petite figure, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"Where is Kasja?"
"Kasja now stays with Yennefer all day long."
"Huh?"
Lambert shrugged.
"Yennefer said that child has the talent to become a warlock - don't look at me, I had the same look on your face when I first heard about it."
"No, I am happy."
Lynn is indeed very happy.
The Witcher's Trial of the Grasses is too dangerous.
Especially among all schools of thought, only School of the Cat has successfully trained female demon hunters.
But School of the Cat's Potion of the Grasses has the most incomplete inheritance among all schools of thought.
