The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 218 People's physiques cannot be generalized
The sound of steel clashing continued to ring out, and the sparks produced by the collision of weapons fell like raindrops.

then……

The silver sword copied by the shapeshifter was picked up by the witcher and flew out of his hand into the pigpen.

The witcher placed the silver sword against the shapeshifter's throat.

Just an inch further and he would have pierced the shapeshifter's throat.

"I understand your species, shapeshifter. Although you can become me, there are parts of me that you cannot replicate. For example, those parts that can hurt others and kill them... You simply cannot understand."

"That's you, shapeshifter."

The shapeshifter didn't dare to move.

It's not just because the silver sword is so close that it can easily pierce his throat.

It’s also because the shapeshifter’s weakness is silver.

As long as he touches Silver, he will no longer be able to control his form and will turn into a puddle of mud.

"Then kill me, witcher. I would rather die by your sword than fall into the hands of those madmen of Eternal Flame."

Lynn didn't answer.

At this moment, a large number of footsteps came from far away.

"over there."

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"Don't let the troublemakers get away!"

Without thinking, Lin En took off his cloak and threw it into the magic pattern leather bag.

Beneath his cloak was a suit of Novigrad city guard armor.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you become like me?"

The shapeshifter didn't know what Lynn was planning.

But he quickly realized that Lynn was not ready to hand him over.

So he did as he was told.

When the city guards arrived after hearing the news, they saw only two of their comrades.

"The troublemakers ran over there," Lin En pointed randomly in a direction and said in a low voice, "My companion is injured. I have to take him to see a doctor."

Most people ran in the direction the witcher pointed without thinking.

Several city guards also extended a helping hand to Lin En with concern: "Do you need help?"

But Lynn declined their help.

After seeing all the guards disappear from their sight, Lin En said, "They'll soon realize they've been tricked. We have to leave here quickly."

But the shapeshifter hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should leave with Lin En.

Seeing that the other party didn't move.

Without a second thought, the Demon Hunter set up his Shapeshifter and ran in the opposite direction.

Lin En was very fast, and instead of walking in a straight line, he tried to go through streets and alleys.

After passing through another deserted alley, Lynn canceled the effect of the Amulet of Deception and changed back into the appearance of a demon hunter.

The shapeshifter also transformed himself into an ordinary vendor.

Coming out of the alley, they arrived at another area.

The streets here are dirtier, and the people passing through are in worse mental, nutritional and clothing conditions.

This is the harbor area of ​​Novigrad, also known as the dock area.

It is the dirtiest and most chaotic area except for the slums.

If slums are places where only outsiders live, then those living in the harbor area are all city dwellers.

"We should be almost there now. The guards shouldn't chase us here."

The shapeshifter finally asked the question on his mind: "Why didn't you hand me over to the guards? Isn't that why you captured me?"

But Lynn didn't answer, instead he asked a question.

"What's your name?"

"What does it matter? In your eyes, we are all monsters anyway."

"I asked for your name. I hate asking the same thing twice, let alone a third time."

Seeing that the witcher didn't seem to be joking, the shapeshifter finally uttered a name.

"Trico Langrevinc Le Tote." Lynn thought to herself, as expected.

"Your friends all call you 'Dudu'?"

This time it was the shapeshifter's turn to be surprised.

"You...how did you know?"

"Not only do I know what your friends call you, I also know a lot more about you."

In the future, he will also meet a dwarf businessman named Dandy Biberwit.

He made a fortune by impersonating the latter.

In the more distant future, he also pretended to be Hawthorne II, one of the Big Four, and not only laundered all of Hawthorne II's assets, but also invested in a legal and very profitable overseas trading company.

No matter which world they are in, people's physiques are different.

Some people are born to sprint, some are born to fight...

As for Dudu, he was born to be a businessman.

This is also the reason why Lin En had the confidence to recruit people like Reso in Toussaint even though he had not yet become a baron.

He had already decided to let Dudu become his professional manager to help him manage his assets so that he could make money from money.

Some people may ask, aren’t you afraid that someone will run away with your assets?

Again, when it comes to intelligence, even if all the ancient races, such as shapeshifters, gnomes, dwarves, elves, and dryads, were put together, they would not have as much intelligence as humans.

The shapeshifters are the kindest of all the ancient races.

Because they don't even have any evil thoughts at all.

Therefore, Lin En can safely hand over his assets to Dudu.

"Let's go find a place to sit down and eat while talking."

……

after a while.

In a private room of the Spear Cave tavern.

Dudu, who was sitting opposite Lin En, opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"I...did I hear correctly? You want to hire me...to be your professional manager, responsible for managing all your assets?"

Lynn picked up a piece of barbecue with a fork, put it in her mouth and chewed it, making a muffled sound.

"Word for word. Your hearing is as good as mine."

"But why?"

"what why?"

"I thought you would..." Dudu lowered his voice, "use me to prove your companion's innocence."

Lynn picked up the apple juice on the table and took a sip to moisten her throat.

"I have other ways to get him acquitted, but a loyal and kind professional manager is hard to find."

Lin En's words made Dudu very happy.

Everyone feels happy when their abilities are recognized by others.

Not to mention kind creatures like shapeshifters.

But he still had a question.

"Aren't you afraid that I might run away with all your money?"

Looking at Dudu's serious expression, Lin En couldn't help but want to tease him.

So he pretended to think for a while before slowly saying, "Well, this is indeed a problem, but I believe that with your intelligence, you would not do such a thing."

"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?" the shapeshifter said angrily.

The witcher spread his hands.

"Of course not, it's just... you see, even the king needs allies, and nobles will marry their daughters to other nobles to seek political alliances."

"In this rotten era, no one needs friends, especially those whose business is growing bigger and bigger."

"Logically, you should know what will happen to a person who has no friends and a huge fortune."

"So, are you sure you want to lose me as a friend just for the gold I gave you?"

"I don't need to repeat to you the importance of friends, right?"
