In the autumn of 1146, the queen ordered the demon hunters to escort the prince to the western end of the continent to marry the princess of the Maecht kingdom (today's Nilfgaardian Empire province).
Due to the high stakes in this matter, almost all members of School of the Manticore were dispatched, and even Ivar himself never left the prince's side.
As a result, when the convoy passed Farrei Mountains, a super large fire element with a height of twenty meters appeared.
Even though the demon hunters tried their best to stop the super-large fire element, they were almost wiped out, and the convoy suffered heavy casualties.
Such a huge elemental creature cannot exist naturally, it can only be summoned.
Therefore, it is believed that enemies of the Zerrikania royal family or enemies of School of the Manticore planned this attack.
This day is also named "Day of Fire".
After Day of Fire, the surviving demon hunters of Manticore were ignored by the royal family and gradually declined.
Even if he does not have his own career, Lynn will not use the line of Borch to become Queen's Iron Guard. Honor and status without real power are no different from castles in the air.
In the past, School of the Manticore has proven this, and in another world line, Brotherhood of Sorcerers will also prove this.
Of course, Lynn still has to thank Borch for his kindness.
The other party is not necessarily trying to trick me, but due to the limitations of his own class, he will inevitably have some restrictions on everything.
Lynn took out a bottle of rose wine produced in his own vineyard from the magic pattern leather bag and handed it to Borch. This was considered to be a thank you to Borch for caring for him.
After Borch accepted the rose wine, Lynn finally asked her why she was looking for him.
"Sir Borch, have you ever heard of School of the Manticore?"
"Of course I do. I'm afraid there is no Zerrikania person who doesn't know their names." Borch raised his eyebrows, "What, you have something to do with them?"
Lynn said, "I hope you can help contact School of the Manticore, because I plan to sign an employment contract with them. The meeting place will be Castel d'Accia Vineyard in Toussaint. When they arrive, let them tell the housekeeper that they are waiting here on the order of Baron Brandon, and someone will arrange for them later."
Borch agreed without even thinking about it.
"Okay, that's no problem. In fact, since Day of Fire, the surviving School of the Manticore has been receiving secret sponsorship from my forces, otherwise they wouldn't be able to stay in Zerrikania at all."
"Castel d'Accia Vineyard, right? I have written down this name, and I will find someone to contact them later. However, Baron Brandon... are you familiar with this person? Is he also your friend?"
Of course, Lynn would not tell anyone that this was his trumpet. Even though he was sure that Borch would not betray him, he has not yet established a shady interest relationship with Mr. Jinlong, so it is better to keep some things in his mind for the time being.
"That's right." Lynn said.
Borch's figure suddenly began to become looming.
"As long as there's nothing wrong, let's do this for now. After all, this horn is a prop I made at random on a whim. The energy that can be stored inside is limited. Now it seems that the energy is about to be exhausted."
"But you don't have to worry. Place it where Chaos Energy intersects. It won't take long for it to be full of energy on its own."
"Lynn Your Excellency, I have written down all the things you told me, so don't worry. However, if there is a chance next time, I still hope to have a good time with you over wine as before."
Lynn solemnly said, "I will definitely do it."
When he finished saying this, Borch's figure could no longer hold on and turned into airflow and drifted away again.
This time I returned to the peaceful life spent in Kaer Morhen Castle, and time passed quickly.
The dwarves regard the castle as their second home, and the elves who were rescued from Kaedwen are also used to living with the demon hunters and dwarves.
Lynn went to Circle of Elements in the back mountain to recharge Dragon Horn, and also visited the troll family living in the mountain.
He thought for a while and simply took this opportunity to bring the troll family to the castle, lest the floods wash away the Dragon King Temple and the people in the castle treat the troll as a monster, which would be a tragedy.
However, the trolls and fools are too stupid, and they are still not suitable to live with other people for the time being.
Let the trolls act as bodyguards and guard the underground vault all day long, okay;
But when it comes to integrating trolls into the army and fighting with friendly forces, then forget it.
In the Witcher 3, the Redania people also recruited a troll. As a result, the troll couldn't control its strength at all. It killed friendly troops and enemies together, and even stewed them together in a big pot and ate them.
Therefore, Lynn can imagine that if trolls were allowed to live in the castle, it would cause a lot of trouble for other people.
It's better to go back to each house and find each mother like we are now.
Therefore, after introducing each other and letting the trolls have another dinner, they were allowed to go back to the back mountain.
But I also use this to explain to others that I can bring something (preferably food) over from time to time to exchange feelings.
When the time came to the last day of December, everyone gathered in the castle hall to celebrate the New Year.
Originally, demon hunters did not have the concept of celebrating the New Year, but now that Tissaia and Yennefer are here, doesn't this sense of ritual come with them?
They lit many candles and lit up the castle hall like daylight.
Except for those responsible for standing guard who remained on the city walls and towers outside, everyone gathered in the castle hall to enjoy food and wine.
For a time, the hall was filled with laughter and laughter.
Lynn After drinking a round with everyone present, he left the table on the way, taking food and wine to give to those who stayed on the city wall to watch the night.
The world is not beautiful.
War, racial conflict, monsters raging...
People are living in hell.
But now, here, in the castle of Kaer Morhen deep in the Blue Mountains, this place seems to be a small piece of pure land in this cruel reality, just like heaven on earth.
Everyone feels the warmth of home here.
When the footsteps of spring quietly approached Kaer Morhen, Lynn also came to the eve of leaving again.
On this day, he found Auckes, Serrit, Lambert, Eskel, and Gerd.
"I have a difficult task for you." Lynn said seriously.
Lambert's words are still the same as usual. "Is there any more difficult task in the world than being a nanny for a little slug?"
Eskel held his head. "Lambert, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
Lynn ignored him, but said to School of the Viper's brother.
"Auckes, Serrit, I hope you will return to the south and summon the demon hunters who are still active in the south."
