"Vesemir, aren't you going to say something? I mentioned before that we should be like the Viper School and Cat School, taking on extra contracts, even if the targets are limited to corrupt officials. At least that would be eliminating scourges for the people."

"You almost broke my legs for that, and now Lynn is making this decision that goes against our ancestral teachings. You… you're not against it?"

Facing Lambert's questioning, Vesemir stroked his beard and glared.

"You are you, Lynn is Lynn. Can they be the same?"

"It's just… Lynn, having a territory or something, that's too far off. It's better to first establish a Witcher school and reintegrate the Lieren who have been divided for centuries."

Vesemir winked at Lynn, then spoke as if hinting at something.

"Besides, while there are far fewer monsters now than before, it's still too early to say that monsters are completely extinct or on the verge of extinction. In places where human footprints have not yet conquered, terrifying unknown monsters still lurk."

"There's a saying, 'kill the donkey after it grinds the mill.' When the donkey is still needed to grind, don't kill it yet."

Lynn understood instantly.

He knew Vesemir was actually worried that Tissaia would obstruct him once she heard that the Lieren would acquire a territory.

Just like how she went to great lengths to obstruct those sorcerers of the Old Order.

However, Vesemir didn't need to worry here.

He didn't know that Lynn and Tissaia had already reached an agreement.

Only when he became a lord would he be qualified as an ally of Aretuza, providing sanctuary when the academy faced trouble in the future.

Ever since Lynn finished talking with Tissaia that day, on his way to Kaer Morhen, Tissaia had ample time to ponder the words Lynn had spoken to her.

After this period of thought, she was surprised to find that Lynn's judgments about the future of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers might indeed come to pass.

If the Brotherhood of Sorcerers were to fall apart, Aretuza would certainly need a new ally.

Tissaia was not a foolish woman; she naturally knew that Lynn's strength was best for her and Aretuza.

Next, Lynn took the opportunity to propose that Vesemir, Lambert, and Eskel all work for him.

This way, they wouldn't have to live a life exposed to the elements anymore.

Vesemir knew this was Lynn's kind intention.

In addition, over the years, the Lieren walking the world had suffered increasing scorn.

In the past, people feared the Lieren, but because of the threat of monsters, they still needed the Lieren to help eliminate dangers.

But now, although there are still many monsters, the probability of being harmed has greatly decreased.

People are like this.

When they and those around them are in a safe environment, they subconsciously believe that all places in this world are safe and that others are also safe.

Because of this, the Lieren are becoming increasingly unwelcome.

Vesemir is the grandmaster of the Wolf School, not the grandmaster of the Griffin School.

Although he diligently taught his students to punish evil and promote good, the cost of punishing evil and promoting good does not equal offering one's right cheek to be slapped after the left has been hit.

Therefore, when Lynn proposed it, Vesemir didn't hesitate much and agreed.

Eskel, seeing Vesemir agree, also did not refuse.

He is a simpler man; he doesn't understand grand principles, only one thing matters: family.

Where his family is, there he is.

Only Lambert hesitated, saying, "I'm not suited to be a nanny."

"No one wants you to be a nanny. Your duty is to serve as a teacher, along with Vesemir, Eskel, and George, Serrit, Ox, to impart the knowledge of a Witcher to those children."

Lynn brought a total of eight children from Novigrad.

Now, the Wolf, Griffin, and Viper Schools' Lieren are gathered together, perfect for training those children with different school methods to see what style suits them best.

As for their food and drink in the castle, Lynn had already prepared for them back in Novigrad.

Those supplies could be stored in Kaer Morhen's cellar, which had been enchanted by the resident sorcerer to remain dry and cold all year round.

Although it couldn't compare to Lynn's runic leather pouch, it was enough to slow down spoilage and damage, facilitating long-term storage.

Of course, no matter how well planned, there will always be times when money is needed, so Lynn will allocate them a budget then.

The outcome of the discussion greatly satisfied Lynn.

Basically, everything he hoped to discuss had a result, and it was the result he wished for.

However, as the meeting was about to adjourn, Lynn still addressed Vesemir.

"Vesemir, please wait a moment. I have a few more words I'd like to say to you privately."

The others then said their goodbyes and left.

When only Lynn and Vesemir were left in the room, Lynn asked curiously.

"Teacher, do you really not object to me violating the neutral principles left by Alzur?"

"As long as you think it's right, go ahead and do it." Vesemir patted Lynn's shoulders with both hands, then suddenly sighed deeply.

"Between a dead principle and a living, but dying, group, I can still tell which is more important. I haven't become senile to that extent."

"If I had no feelings for the school, no desire for the Lieren to regain their glory, why would I stay here for over a hundred years?"

"So, go ahead and do it boldly, Lynn. No matter what you do, I will support you. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Lieren are already at the bottom of society; there's no more room to fall."

"But if… if fate favors you and you succeed…"

Vesemir's voice became somewhat agitated, and a few tears welled up in his eyes.

"I don't hope to see the resurgence of the Lieren in my lifetime, nor do I wish for the Lieren to transform from oppressed to oppressors. As long as the Lieren can receive status and treatment commensurate with their efforts, that will be enough."

Lynn affirmed, "Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely make the Lieren flourish."

After Vesemir had calmed down.

Lynn then brought up the reason for asking him to stay.

"Teacher, as you know, the focus of my career development is currently in Novigrad, so after returning from Toussaint with Geralt, I've been staying in Novigrad."

"Later, I accidentally met a noblewoman named Countess Minore. During a casual chat, I learned that she actually knew you too…"

Vesemir paused, "Minore? That name…"

Lynn knew the old Witcher still remembered.

"Teacher, she still thinks of you. When she learned I was your student, she even wanted to come to Kaer Morhen with me. I talked her out of it after much persuasion."

"Teacher, would you like to go see her?"

"Anyway, Eskel and Lambert are both from the Wolf School; they know everything you do, and there's also Geralt. With the three of them here, it's fine for you to stay in Novigrad for half a year or a year."

Vesemir is the teacher of everyone in the Wolf School, but also their father.

Now, the Witcher school is just starting, and Lynn's career is still in its initial stage, but at least he can take care of his old father, let the old man, who has toiled for many years, have a vacation and rest. That much can be done.

Vesemir, too, had experienced much, and wasn't so particular. He hadn't gone before because he heard she had been married off by her father.

Since she had already moved on to a normal life, Vesemir didn't want to disturb her further.

He even avoided Novigrad.

He just didn't expect her husband to graduate from life so quickly.

So he immediately agreed.
