The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 68 Money can make the world go round

Afterwards, Lynn left the University of Newcastle and returned to Novigrad.

During this period, I also completed several small commissions.

But the benefits are far less.

It's just a snack.

Soon, half a month passed.

That day, an old man came to the hotel where Lynn was staying.

It turned out that he was Ruxer's butler, and his purpose was to invite Lynn to Ruxer's house again on behalf of his master to express his gratitude.

Lin En didn't think much about it, so he went there with the housekeeper.

In the house uptown.

He saw Ruxer with a big smile on his face.

Rukser's wife also came over the tragic experience more than ten days ago and apologized for her previous rudeness.

In order to entertain Lynn, Ruxer prepared a large table of delicious food.

Several people ate and talked, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After dinner, Ruxer asked Michelle and his wife to go downstairs.

After the servants had cleared the table, Ruxer told him another purpose for inviting Lynn over.

And Lynn also guessed that Ruxer's purpose in inviting him was not just to express gratitude.

So he didn't show any surprise.

The reason why he was willing to come was because he guessed that Ruxer's purpose might be that he had encountered trouble and needed him, a witcher, to solve it.

As it turned out, his guess was correct.

Ruxer really needs a witcher.

It's just that he wasn't in trouble.

But it was a friend of his.

Any businessman doing business in Novigrad would inevitably come into contact with Vimo Vivaldi.

Weimo is a dwarf, or to be more precise, a dwarf banker.

Vivaldi Bank has had a long history in Novigrad, and when Vimo took over the family business, he built Vivaldi Bank into the largest bank in Novigrad.

When Ruxer became a Novigrad merchant, Vemer helped Ruxer a lot.

It was thanks to Vimo's introduction that Luxor was able to gain a foothold in Novigrad without being ostracized by his local counterparts.

When Rukser was short of funds, he was willing to lend money to Rukser to help him overcome the difficulties.

Ruxer is certainly not an ungrateful person.

In return, and in order to deepen their cooperation in the future, Luxor deposited all his money in Vivaldi Bank.

And try to convince his friends to make Vivaldi Bank their first choice for savings and loans.

But this time, Weimo encountered a trouble.

Some time ago, for some purpose, Weimo bought a house in the upper city from someone else at a low price.

Weimo originally thought he had found a great bargain, but he didn't expect that the homeowner was in a hurry to sell it for a reason.

And it wasn't for financial reasons—the house was haunted.

"So our banker didn't ask the homeowner to return the goods? He was so honest as to accept this loss in silence?"

Lynn was shocked.

Ma Sheng once said that once there is appropriate profit, capital will become bold.

With a profit of 300%, they dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged. Speaking of typical capitalists, bankers are undoubtedly the most appropriate example.

Although he knew that Vimo Vivaldi was not the kind of vampire who would trample on conscience and morality for the sake of profit, Lin En found it hard to believe that he would swallow his anger.

Lynn's doubts were within Ruxer's expectations.

Because when he learned about this from Weimo, he had the same reaction as Lin En at this time.

"It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, but he can't. After all, no one can bother with a dead person, right?"

Ruxer said in a helpless tone.

"When Lord Weimo was about to have a good talk with the original owner, Hawthorne I's men sank him into the bay because he slept with Hawthorne I's mistress."

"Oh, yes, you may not know who Hawthorne I is. Look at my memory."

"His real name is Alphonse Willy, and he's one of the darkest forces in Novigrad's underworld."

"Actually, he should be called Willy I. The nickname Hawthorne (son of a bitch) was given to him by people who don't like him."

"But if you ever come face to face with him, don't call him that, and it's best not to look him in the eye."

"Anyway... where was I just now? Oh, right, because the original owner was killed by Hawthorne I, Lord Weimo has no way to return the house, so he needs a demon hunter to help him solve the problem of the house being haunted."

"I know my friend. As long as the commission is completed, the compensation will not be a problem."

Lynn knew the name Vimo Vivaldi.

Even among the dwarf bankers, he was a well-known one.

He is greedy for money.

In his eyes, everything will be automatically converted into crowns.

If he bought a painting, it was never for the artistic reasons, but because he thought it could be resold for a good price.

However, although he looks like a miser like Grandet, he is actually not bad to his friends.

If a friend is in trouble, he will try his best to help as long as it is within his ability.

"A banker's commission?"

Lynn agreed without much hesitation.

Not to mention the rewards you can get for completing the commission.

Even if it means meeting a banker, it would be worth it.

Lynn's big plan also requires him to contact and get to know people from all walks of life, so as to broaden his network and accumulate such invisible assets.

……

When Lynn and Ruxer arrived at Vivaldi Bank and told them their purpose.

The two were invited by the bank staff to wait in the VIP room.

After a while, a dwarf wearing a gorgeous robe and with a bald head walked in.

He and Ruxer greeted each other, and then Ruxer introduced Lynn to him.

"Sir Weimo, this is the Demon Hunter Master who saved me from the fire pit."

Weimo crossed his arms and looked Lin En up and down carefully.

"Lord Ruxer, and this Demon Hunter Master, it's not that I don't believe them, it's really..."

Weimo scratched his face and said, "You look too young. I don't know much about demon hunters, but kid, dealing with a few bandits is not the same as dealing with ghosts."

"A knight on foot wearing plate armor can easily defeat a group of thugs, because the thugs are unorganized and undisciplined. As long as the first few are killed, the rest will naturally scatter."

"But ghosts are no match for them. Only demon hunters can deal with ghosts. Otherwise, no matter how many plate-armored knights go, they will die."

"If you're not sure, kid, give up. I don't want you to get killed trying to be brave."
