Chapter 53 The friendship between lion and wolf depends on the cat faction

Due to drinking the water of Brokiron and overdrafting the battle, Geralt was in a very bad condition and might even fall off his horse.

So Lan invited him, Shirley and Mossak to live in his house together.

The witcher is lonely by nature and doesn't seem to like heights, so his room is at the end of the corridor on the first floor.

When Lan walked to the door of the room, he heard the sound of two people arguing.

"Geralt, she is your destiny. Your paths have crossed three times. You don't think this is just a coincidence, do you? You asked Calanthe, Pavetta and her husband to make a vow. That's

The law of accident is the power of fate. They kept their promise. Shirley is the child of accident. Destiny demands..."

"Ask me to take her and make her a witcher? She's a girl! Look at me, Mossak! Can you imagine a beautiful little girl turning into me?"

"To hell with the rules of the witcher! Since Ciri was born, your wishes and plans no longer matter. For the sake of plague and cholera, even you are not worth mentioning! Do you understand?

?Destiny is a double-edged sword, and it is dangerous to play with it. Stop playing with it, Geralt, and establish a relationship with Ciri like a guardian and a ward.

Otherwise...the bond may appear in other forms, more terrifying forms. I want to protect you! If you take her away, I will not object and I will risk explaining everything to Calanthe."

Then Lan heard Geralt's loud denial, followed by an even more heated argument.

"Please, just call me Lan." Lan walked in with a smile. "Anyway, you also saved Ciri, and you also contradicted Ms. Aisna for me. You also saved me many times when fighting the gryphon.

, I thought we were already friends."

Not to mention that Lann killed a villain who had his own way of killing himself. In Geralt's moral perspective, Jared Kaladin might also be a type of "monster".

Geralt shook his head: "I have never heard of this name, but there is always a black sheep."

"Lord Lannister." Geralt nodded to Lan, "Please come in, I haven't thanked you for taking me in yet."

A witcher cannot lose his sword, just as an eagle cannot lose its claws and a lion cannot lose its tusks.

Many people believe that Cat Faction has deviated from tradition and is hardly considered a "witcher" anymore.

"Uncle Mossak...good evening?"

These two old guys, who together are estimated to be more than three hundred years old, have really loud voices.

By the way, the demon hunters of the cat sect who stabbed the wolf sect were also stabbed in the back by the king who hired them.

Geralt's tone was cold, and Lan knew immediately what the problem was.

After a while, Mossack opened the door angrily and saw Lan standing at the door.

Geralt glanced at the cat head: "What's his name?"

"You may have heard something just now. We'll talk about this later."

"Judd Carradine."

Of course, in the future, Geralt will also help Cat-sect witchers, and other Wolf-sect witchers will also have Cat-sect friends. Wolf-sect witchers can rationally distinguish between "good" and "evil" instead of being angry.

The entire group. This is the incomprehensible but admirable moral outlook they uphold by adhering to "absolute neutrality".

After Geralt lamented what Judd had done, he asked again: "So, Lan, what's the matter with coming to see me so late?"

Lan thought for a while and said, "I wonder if Uncle Mossak has told you that I have always been curious about the Witcher."

And the fact that the silver sword is in the hands of a non-witcher means that this person's hands are stained with the blood of a witcher. Geralt obviously misunderstood.

"I can see that you used a silver sword when hunting griffons, right?"

There are other feuds between the Wolf School and the Cat School: in the background story that Lan knew, King Kaedwen was once bewitched by a warlock and thought that the witcher would shake his power, so he hired the Cat School to deceive the Wolf School.

The backbone of the organization organized a so-called "academic exchange" competition.

Lan nodded. In fact, he already knew the content of the argument between the two people in the room.

He slowly walked forward and knocked on the door out of politeness. Geralt, who was digesting his emotions, looked up.

Let’s not mention the future events for now. At least for now, when Geralt understands the whole story, the barrier he deliberately created with Lann disappears.

If you want to establish a "friendship" with Geralt, this is not a good start.

During the conference, the Cat School stabbed the Wolf School in the back and slaughtered all the backbones of the Wolf School. Geralt, who was still an apprentice at the time, was also present. In the end, he was saved by Mossack who was passing by. This was also the beginning of their friendship.

beginning.

The druid sighed and smiled awkwardly at Lan.

Lann took out the cat-headed badge in his arms and explained: "When I was suppressing bandits some time ago, I encountered a group of thieves. Their leader was also a demon hunter. He attacked and killed many passing caravans and massacred them.

passed our village, so I made him pay the price."

And now, inside the room, he was breathing heavily with his chest heaving. It was obvious that the argument he had just had with Mossack made him emotional.

Because Lann is an outsider, Geralt did not go into details. After all, the Cat sect can be said to be the family scandal of the demon hunters: the Cat sect is not only rich in madmen, but it is also the only sect that will accept murder commissions. They even accept more murder commissions than

Accept the demon hunting request.

Speaking of which, Geralt once said a famous saying: I am a witcher, and witchers have no emotions.

As a witness to that massacre, Geralt had little affection for Cat Faction, even if he didn't have hatred for them.

"There is no 'rescue' when fighting, we just face the enemy together."

Favorability: cold → average +.

Lan noticed a slight sense of alienation in Geralt's words, and his attitude towards him seemed to be no different from that towards other nobles.

This incident directly led to the weakening of the Wolf School, and it no longer even had the ability to recruit and train new people. When Ciri grew up, the total number of members of the Wolf School could be counted on one hand, even with her half a demon hunter.

"As for your reward, Geralt." Lann said, "You saved Ciri and protected her all the way. I heard that Ciri promised you a lot of wealth? And you got rid of two griffins for my territory.

, I have an obligation to thank you for the sake of my subjects."

Geralt shook his head: "Don't worry about Ciri. I saved her for no other reason. As for the gryphons, I only participated in the hunting of one of them. Just give me a hundred crowns."

Lann smiled and said: "But I am very willing to make you a friend. I don't want our relationship to be limited to such a simple money transaction, Geralt.

The superb skills you displayed in battle are admirable. I wonder if you are willing to accept other commissions, such as private swordsmanship lessons, monster knowledge teachers, etc.?"
