After listening to Triss's report, Foltest looked at Lynn expectantly.
"So, this is the end? I won't be troubled by that being who must not even be named anymore?"
"That's right and wrong," Lynn nodded first, then shook his head, "You are already on His list. As long as He exists for one day, you cannot be said to have truly gained safety."
Immediately, he spread his hands again.
"Of course, if you are willing to stay inland, away from the lake, yes, it can also be said that the evil god Dagon can no longer exert its power on you."
Foltest was surprised. "I can't go back to Vizima city?"
Vizima city is the capital of Temeria, but Maribor City is not.
Even after the vampire bird incident, Foltest never thought of moving the capital.
"No." Lynn answered firmly.
What a joke.
The projection of the evil god Dagon is at the bottom of Lake Vizima outside the city of Vizima. Isn't that a self-inflicted trap when you return to the city of Vizima?
Foltest said dejectedly, "Is there no other way?"
Of course there is a way.
Since everything is caused by the evil god Dagon, then as long as the evil god Dagon is killed, all problems can be solved once and for all.
But Lynn didn't want to agree so simply.
Lynn helping Foltest find and kill Hereward, the evil minion, is already worth the reward of ten thousand Oren gold coins.
Even if Foltest offered another ten thousand Oren, it wouldn't be enough to buy the head of the evil god Dagon.
Even the head of a king costs more than ten thousand Oren, let alone an evil god.
Whether it was the experience summed up by School of the Wolf's ancestors or the lessons learned by Lynn in his previous life, they all told him without exception that he should pretend to be frowning at this time.
This matter itself is indeed difficult to handle, so it cannot be done in a big way.
Otherwise, all the dirty work will be done, and in the end, you won't get a few cents.
So Lynn waited for a while before slowly saying, "This is almost an impossible task."
"Almost impossible to accomplish" rather than "absolutely impossible to accomplish" means that there is still room for discussion.
Foltest fell silent.
He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"Do you know Velen?"
Of course Lynn knows.
One of the places he is most familiar with.
Except Raccoon City, then there is Velen.
Velen is like his home.
But as a witcher, he "shouldn't know".
At least it shouldn't be too clear.
"I've been to that place several times, but I've always passed by it. It's more sparsely populated than other places I've been to. It's so vast and sparsely populated that I can hardly find work there."
"Even though I see a lot of monster activity there, no one hires me, and no one pays me for killing monsters."
Foltest did not deny Lynn's point of view. "Velen is one of the provinces of Temeria. The land area is not small, but it is the most barren. The people on that land are also the most ignorant and least educated."
"Velen has changed many lords, but none of them can make Velen develop in a good direction."
"The current lord in charge of Velen, Baron Velerad, is probably the worst one."
At this point, Foltest stopped. "Witcher, do you understand what I mean?"
To be honest, Lynn really didn't understand it.
So he asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty, you mean that after I finish my work here, there will still be a lot of commissions waiting for me at Velen?"
Foltest showed a smile, "I mean, I think Velen should find a new owner."
Foltest's generosity did not exceed Lynn's expectations.
Because in this world, there are few opportunities for commoners to cross class and become nobles, but it is not impossible.
For example, in the original novel, Geralt was awarded knighthood by Meve, the queen of Lyria and Rivia, for his heroic performance.
Even though knights are the lowest nobles, they are still nobles.
Crossing this threshold means that you have the opportunity to continue climbing up.
But faced with Foltest's generosity, Lynn hesitated.
"Can I say something, Your Majesty?"
"Of course."
"The fiefdom you just mentioned, I hope to transfer it to Triss."
There is no need to say more about my relationship with Triss.
Blocking it to Triss is actually equivalent to blocking it to yourself.
Besides, my future base should still be located in the far north.
After all, it's the corner of the known world.
This way you won't be disturbed by others when developing.
And for a country like Temeria, which is located in the middle of the continent, it is too easy to attract people's attention.
But if it is transferred to Triss, it will be different.
She is a sorceress.
Although there was no precedent for warlocks to obtain land before her, there were precedents for magic academies and knights to obtain land.
Ban Ade College, Aretuza Academy and Order of the White Rose, the land they currently control was granted to them by the king.
If Triss gets a fiefdom from Foltest, it can minimize the hostility from the outside world.
Moreover, Velen province borders Thanedd Island where Novigrad and Aretuza Academy are located. While he can easily take care of Triss's territory, Aretuza Academy will not stay out of it.
After all, Velen is outside Thanedd Island, and even Velen has been affected, which means that the enemy has already come to the door. Margarita Laux-Antille will not remain indifferent even if it is for the sake of the academy.
However, as a hardcore player, Lynn knows very well that the land Velen is the worst among all the maps that Geralt can go to in the Witcher 3 game. No matter from every aspect, it is the worst one.
But in fact, Velen has rich natural resources. If it can be well developed and fully utilized, it can be built into a high-quality territory.
As for labor, there is no need to worry.
Novigrad There are many people who want to get a piece of land of their own.
As long as Lynn asks Eternal Fire to come forward and announce that "any citizen of Novigrad, as long as they pay a symbolic tax, can receive a certain area of land. As long as they cultivate this land for five consecutive years, the land they receive will belong to them."
Can you still be afraid of no one?
Moreover, he had previously asked Rustwater Cartel to Kingdom of Kaedwen to bring out those inhuman races.
If those non-human races are willing, he can also let those non-human races settle in Velen under the same conditions.
Of course, before the settlers arrive, he will definitely clean the entire Velen, inside and out, to ensure that no evil spirit is missed.
Foltest is not sure about the relationship between Lynn and Triss.
But since it was Lynn who requested it, Foltest thought about it and agreed.
As long as this damn curse or something can be lifted...
