Chapter 124: So This Is Who Vesemir Really Is (Part 2)

Lynn smiled and said, "Of course not, Master Vesemir."

Vesemir also felt that it wasn't the case.

After all, he had watched Lynn grow up.

He understood the boy's character.

To say that someone else might have accumulated huge gambling debts and had to bring their creditors home was possible.

But Lynn would never do such a thing.

Moreover, those dwarves didn't look like creditors, not that fierce.

Just...

If they weren't creditors, then Vesemir really couldn't figure out why those dwarves had come to Kaer Morhen.

"Then what exactly is going on?"

"They are workers I hired to repair the castle. Doesn't Lambert complain about the cold in the castle every winter? Once they patch up all the holes in the castle, we won't have to endure Lambert's complaints anymore."

Kaer Morhen was a military fortress, with complete military combat functions, but in terms of comfort, it was far inferior to noble manors.

What's more, since that siege battle, Kaer Morhen had never received proper repairs.

The living experience was even worse.

Hearing Lynn's words, Vesemir's eyes widened.

"My goodness, child, what are you going to pay them with?"

A dozen dwarven craftsmen staying at Kaer Morhen for a winter would cost a fortune, something Vesemir didn't even dare to think about.

"Don't worry, Master Vesemir, I have money."

The Wolf School family were the people Lynn trusted most in this world.

And among them, Vesemir was the most trustworthy, without exception.

Therefore, Lynn casually took out a box of gold from his enchanted pouch, directly shocking the grandmaster of the Wolf School.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Vesemir's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Lynn had only been down the mountain for a short time, yet he had already earned so many gold coins.

This was like a recent college graduate not only avoiding the unemployment that plagued other graduates but also earning a lot of money on their own.

The old witcher came to his senses, his figure flashed, blocking the kitchen entrance, and urged, "Quick! Put it away quickly!"

Lynn obediently did so.

But he felt somewhat puzzled by Vesemir's nervousness.

"Yarpen and Zoltan, they are all people I invited, their character is absolutely reliable. Besides, if they see this money, they will only work harder."

"As for Lambert, he's one of our own Wolf School family, what are you so nervous about?"

The old witcher's words made Lynn pause.

"I just don't trust Lambert, Lynn. Remember, if Lambert asks you how your harvest this year was, never say how much money you made."

"And if he asks to borrow money from you, don't lend him a single crown."

Lambert appeared at the kitchen door like a ghost.

"I seem to have heard someone saying I'm handsome."

He looked at the two of them with a suspicious gaze.

"Old man, what secrets are you two whispering about?"

Vesemir changed the subject even more abruptly than Lynn: "Lambert, didn't I tell you to go help Eskel? Why are you back so quickly?"

"I just realized I forgot to bring the bucket for the fish. I can't carry them with just my two hands, can I?"

Lambert picked up a bucket from the corner of the kitchen, gave the two of them one last glance, and said, "Then I'm off."

"Lambert, how much money does he owe Geralt and Eskel?"

Only after Lambert's figure disappeared from the hall did Lynn ask the question that had been bothering him since just now. "Quite a bit, and he owes me some money too."

"Of course, he'll pay it back. As long as he has it, he'll pay it back immediately."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Lynn, tell this old man all about the adventures you've had this year. I have a feeling they must be very exciting."

So, while helping in the kitchen, Lynn briefly told Vesemir about the contracts he had taken on this year.

After listening, Vesemir couldn't help but sigh.

"Geralt and the others never thought about using the money they earned to repair Kaer Morhen. Lynn, it's truly remarkable that you have this heart."

Being praised like this by Vesemir made Lynn unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, Vesemir continued immediately.

"However, child, your purpose isn't just to shut Lambert up, is it? Do you have any ideas you can share with this old witcher?"

Lynn hesitated for a moment.

But in the end, he still spoke of his grand plan to make the witchers great again.

Repairing the castle was not just to avoid listening to Lambert's nagging, but more importantly, to prepare for training witcher apprentices.

This was just the first step in reviving the witchers.

He knew Vesemir might object.

After all, Geralt's way of doing things was taught by Vesemir.

But what could he say...

He had to tell Vesemir eventually.

Since he would have to say it sooner or later, he might as well let Vesemir know now.

After listening to the magnificent blueprint described by Lynn...

Vesemir did not show surprise.

Instead, he let out a long sigh.

"Actually, a long time ago, I noticed that you were different from Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, and Berengar."

"But, child, do you know? The path you have chosen is full of bumps and thorns. Before you, there were witchers who tried to rebuild the glory of the witcher schools, but they all failed without exception."

"This path isn't as easy as you think. Have you thought this through?"

Lynn nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Master, I am aware of this. I certainly know that this is a thorny path. Once I embark on this path, many people will stand in my way, and they will be my enemies."

"But even so, I still want to do it. This isn't because of my ambition, but because I cannot stand by and watch the witchers perish like this."

"I am a part of the Wolf School, a member of the witchers, but I don't like seeing ordinary people being used and incited by those with ulterior motives to become hostile towards us."

"When I look back on the past, I don't want to regret wasting my years, nor do I want to be ashamed of my mediocrity;"

"I am willing to devote my entire life and all my energy to the struggle to revive the witchers."

"To rebuild the glory of the witchers is our generation's inescapable duty."

Under the candlelight, Vesemir's gaze at Lynn was full of surprise.

But soon, that surprise turned into admiration and satisfaction.

"Child, you have truly made me look at you in a new light."

This time, it was Lynn's turn to be surprised.

"Is... is that all?"

Vesemir smiled.

"Lynn, looking at the expression on your face, did you think I would stop you and tell you not to do this?"
