Can't you see the face clearly?

Dick As soon as I thought about it, I realized that the unknown lady must have used some kind of hazy magic to cover her face.

"Did the old man go crazy after he divined for her?"

"It's not like I went crazy immediately. I remember that I was normal for the first few days, and then became more and more crazy. In the end, I ran naked on the street, and once I even wanted to run into the pot in our kitchen to defecate!"

"This disaster will be considered cheap if you die, otherwise you will be beaten to death sooner or later!" The waiter became angrier as he spoke.

"Do you know where this Madigan house is? I want to see it?"

"Since he went crazy, the valuable things there have been moved away, but if you want to take a look, the address is..."

Then the waiter told Dick the address of Madigan.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Will you stay here today?"

"The room is here for you, including breakfast tomorrow morning." Dick then took out a row of Kelang from his pocket and handed it to the other side.

"Too much, too much." The waiter handed back two more coins, and Dick took them.

Then he walked outside the tavern. Fortunately, the prophet's house was not far away. Five or six minutes later Dick had arrived at an abandoned house.

This house is far away from the nearby village and backed by a hill.

From the outside, all the doors and windows were damaged and it was in a state of dilapidation.

Dick got off the horse and walked into his house easily.

The inside is not big, and there is no furniture except for a bookcase. It should be what the waiter said, Madigan's family property was moved away after he went crazy.

Dick came to the bookcase. It was covered with a thick layer of ashes, and there were several books placed crookedly on the shelf.

I picked up a book and read the contents. This is a book recording the history of the Madigan Family. It turns out that its ancestor had a male warlock. Although it is difficult for warlocks to have children due to the intrusion of magic into their bodies, this is still a matter of probability.

Madigan is the third generation. He cannot communicate with the magical elements in the air, but he has awakened the ability to predict.

I picked up the second book, which records the history of this Panda Continent. It turns out that Panda Continent was unified by a king hundreds of years ago, and that person was named 'Kelang'.

"No wonder the currency is now called 'Kelang'. It turned out to be in memory of him." Dick murmured.

After searching for a long time, I found nothing. I turned on Witcher Senses and searched carefully, but still found nothing. Dick could only return the same way.

Following the waiter's instructions, I went upstairs and entered one of the guest rooms to rest.

Lying flat on the bed, Dick had a lot of thoughts in his mind:

At present, Master's trouble has not been resolved, and the conflict between himself and him does not know when it will break out;

And who was behind the ambush Black Cat Mercenary Company?

And Kayn, where did this person go?

Now there is another fortune teller. He can tell at a glance that he is not from this world, and according to the waiter, his fortune telling is actually passed down from his ancestors.

What did he mean by his last words?

Forget it, you can't think so much, you'll become sick with worry.

The most important thing now is to improve your strength. As long as you are strong enough, all troubles can be easily overcome.

Early the next morning, Dick had dinner and continued riding westward.

Along the way, we stopped in several villages to look for commissions, but found nothing.

As the sun was setting, he came to a towering city.

Dick Looking at the towering city walls made of marble and the soldiers wearing armors carefully stationed on the walls, he marveled in his heart:

This city wall is probably more than ten meters high, and the city is much larger than Odinburg, and even the city gate is much wider.

In addition, there are marble paved roads outside the city, which are smooth and clean, without even a trace of snow stains.

But why are there so many people lining up today?

And many of them were armed and wearing leather armor. Could they be mercenaries?

Well, judging by their attire, they should be mercenaries.

Why do so many mercenaries come to Longsong Harbor?

Dick thought about it carefully. It seems that the original person has been here once before, so he has also heard the name Longsong Harbor.

Its name has "port" because it is close to Great Inland Lake, and the island in the center of Great Inland Lake is [Magic Academy].

As the largest freshwater lake on this continent, Great Inland Lake is of immeasurable value. It not only provides a stable water source, but also provides a large amount of fish food. Therefore, Longsong Harbor also benefits from this and is quite rich.

But these shouldn't be able to attract so many mercenaries. There should be other things.

Dick followed the queue and lined up behind a person, and soon it was his turn to be inspected by the city gate soldiers.

There were about six or seven soldiers at the city gate, and the leader was obviously the captain of these soldiers based on his attire.

The man glanced at Dick casually and snorted softly, "Oh? The demon hunter actually wants to take this order too? You can go in after paying 10 copper Kelang."

"You're going to charge me?"

"Yeah, what? Is there anything special about you?"

"I'm just a witcher, but I saw that the people in front of me didn't charge. Why do they have to pay when they come to me?"

"Then did you see those people were armed?"

"No."

"Isn't this the end? These days, Duke Yalike has stipulated that everyone who enters Longsong Harbor and carries weapons must pay an entrance fee."

"Why do you do this?"

"What are you talking about?

"Don't think that you have any privileges just because you are a witcher. Pay the fee quickly, or else you can go find a swamp outside the city and rest in the mud with Mud Drowner in your arms."

[Mud Drowner] and [Drowner] are very similar in appearance and strength, but the former likes to live in muddy swamps and hide himself in the mud.

Dick frowned slightly. "My name is Dick."

"So what?"

"I said - my name is Dick." Dick emphasized again, "Look carefully at my appearance."

When the soldier saw this, his expression became cautious, and he looked at the demon hunter in front of him again: it seemed nothing special, he had cat eyes like other demon hunters and... red hair!

"Are you Dick?" The soldier's face changed in the blink of an eye, his attitude became more respectful, "Did Queen Meve personally give you [Dick of Rivia]?"

"You finally remembered, I thought Longsong Harbor didn't send a notice about my being banned!"

"Hey, it's all a misunderstanding. Our Duke has already said that demon hunters will not be treated differently from ordinary people at all, so I...

"Now we Longsong Harbor do have something to do. In order to ensure that the mercenaries will not come to the city to cause trouble, we use the city entry fee to test whether they will obey the discipline.

"If you are not willing to teach even this little money, then you will definitely not obey the command when the time comes.

"Go in quickly, I won't charge you."

Dick thought to himself:

Queen Maeve said before that she didn't have to pay taxes, so it seems that the title does have some effect.

I don't need to use this privilege in vain. Doesn't this save me 10 coppers Kelang!

Then he asked, "Then what is going on in this city? Why are so many mercenaries coming?"

"Actually, I don't know much about it, but it is said that a green dragon appeared in the mountains next to the affiliated village [Deer Stair Village]."

"Green dragon! Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, but the rumors are promising.

"It is said that it was a real dragon, not like those hybrid hybrid dragons like Forktail. The Duke wanted to hunt the green dragon, so he offered a huge sum of money, which is why he attracted so many mercenaries."
