"For Jimmy, he will be extremely sad to lose such a mother-like aunt like you.
If Sean learns of your news, he will definitely kneel in front of the statue in front of Eternal Fire's palace."
"So, do you think what Geralt said makes sense?" Duke Anna smiled slightly,
"Dick, how can you say so much truth?
It seems that you are not only strong, but also very clear in thinking.
In both aspects, it seems to be slightly better than Geralt." She teased pointedly.
Geralt's right eyelid jumped twice uncontrollably, his thumb repeatedly rubbed the wolf head carving on the armor, but still maintained his unique silent posture.
Anna Duke gently rubbed the family crest medal on his waist with his knuckles.
"Okay, I'll talk to my sister later."
As she said this, she asked the guard guarding the door, "Check whether my sister is carrying a weapon."
The guard nodded in agreement.
Geralt pupils slightly dilated:
What's going on?
Why is it possible for Dick to say the same thing but not me?
Is there really something wrong with the way I communicate?
Anna The smile on Duke's face never disappeared.
Previously, she had convinced many ministers and decided to imprison Syanna without excessive punishment.
At this time, Dick's words made her decide to give extra rewards to a few people.
Anna Duke announced:
"In view of the fact that the two of you have solved the huge potential crisis of the Bacchus Empire and have made great contributions, I now announce that I will give an additional two thousand K'Juda to Geralt and Russell each, and an Corvo Bianco within Dick Lady of the Lake Town."
Dick and Geralt said in unison, "Yes."
Soon, there was an attendant in the side hall, holding a silver tray and holding the title deed of the manor, and walked slowly in.
Geralt's knuckles trembled unconsciously:
What's going on?
Although 2,000 Kelang is not a small amount, what Dick got was a manor, or Corvo Bianco!
What I dream of is to own a manor, preferably Corvo Bianco. Then I can use it to make wine, and I can also bring Little Yennefer and other...Little Yennefer to relax and stay.
Besides, didn't I contribute my own efforts in this entrustment?
If I hadn't suppressed the rampaging Dick, he might have caused more damage than that Higher Vampire.
Geralt These little thoughts in my heart were not hidden this time, they were all written on the body movements.
Dick smiled and said, "Duke Anna, I think the rewards of Geralt and I should be exchanged."
"Oh? Why is that? You know, you are the biggest contributor to this commission."
"Geralt and I just arrived in the town, and he said that the climate here is pleasant and he wanted to retire here.
Although he is young now and is not yet 100 years old, who makes him my subordinate?
I prefer to slay demons and will not live in the Bacchus Empire for a long time. This manor will be given to him for his retirement."
At the end of the sentence, Dick raised the corners of his mouth and said jokingly.
Anna Duke thought for a moment and understood the reason.
Geralt As a member of Witcher Order, Dick's move is nothing more than a transfer of gifts.
Moreover, if Geralt really loves Bacchus Empire, this will be a good thing for the empire and the emperor.
If there is another monster infestation in the future, just go to Corvo Bianco to find him.
"In that case, I agree with your request." Anna responded in a deep voice.
After Dick put all the coins into the space badge, Geralt's usually stern face also showed a look of ecstasy, and his hand holding the Corvo Bianco land deed trembled slightly.
Regardless of the size of this manor, it is worth tens of thousands Kelang. Moreover, this is a reward from Duke Anna, so the grade is certainly not low.
Over the years, he has indeed made a lot of money from taking on demon hunting commissions, but he has spent so much money in taverns, especially on finding female dancers, that he has never accumulated more than a thousand Kelang in his bag.
From this point of view, this young man Dick seems to be very reliable.
It's true that I worked hard to follow him all the way and made a lot of efforts.
Geralt was about to say some words of praise gratefully, but heard Dick muttering to himself:
"From now on, when I, the leader of the Witcher Order group, want to come to the Bacchus Empire for sightseeing, I will find a free place to stay. I don't have to make a fire to cook. I just leave after eating. I don't even need to fold the quilt or wash the dishes, hahahaha."
Geralt swallowed the words of gratitude.
The Baroness announced another piece of good news:
"Dick, I asked the local nobles, and they said they had found traces of the person you have been looking for - fellow witcher Tyson.
It is said that he seems to have appeared near Lake of the Goddess.
We will search and investigate carefully in the past few days, and maybe you will be able to meet Tyson in a few days."
The two demon hunters looked at each other, then thanked Anna, then went to the side hall and found Little Yennefer and Russell waiting here.
When the morning fog had not completely dissipated, several people took a carriage and set off back.
The ruts made a grinding sound on the wet gravel road, startling a few tits in the bushes beside the road.
This place is only a few hours away from Lady of the Lake Castle and can be reached at noon.
But they arrived at Corvo Bianco in the evening, mainly because Little Yennefer wanted to learn about geography and humanities and make some records along the way.
This is what Ibu entrusted to Little Yennefer. Geralt has no objection.
Moreover, everyone had just completed a commission, so they were not in a hurry. They just arrived at their destination slowly and in the evening.
In the dusk, the manor looks like a moonstone inlaid on the emerald terrace. Three spire towers rise from the vineyards, and the wisteria covering the stone walls sways gently in the evening breeze.
The housekeeper had already lined up with more than twenty servants to wait. The glazed wind lanterns they held in their hands formed a flowing golden river in the darkening night.
The few people had a hearty meal under the care of the housekeeper, and then went back to their respective rooms and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Dick quietly put on the elf armor, tied the weapon behind his back, and walked slowly outside.
He closed the door gently and was about to pass by the living room when he saw a white-haired man sitting on the bench waiting for him.
Geralt made a silent gesture towards Dick, then quietly opened the door and came outside.
The two came to the spacious courtyard and after confirming that the servants could not hear their conversation, Geralt asked:
"Where are you going so late?"
Dick smiled and said, "Except Russell received a reward of 2,000 Kelang today and was very drunk. You didn't sleep either."
"Because Witcher Senses is so keen, I heard your movements and thought you were in trouble. I wanted to see if I could help."
"That's right, I want to go find Lady of the Lake."
"Lady of the Lake? It's the legend told by the nobles at the banquet? Do you believe it?"
"Geralt, you are still too young." Dick deliberately pretended to be inscrutable, "There are Deitys in this world, and I always feel that Lady of the Lake is no exception."
Geralt A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"She does exist because I have seen her before. But what are you looking for her for? You have to know that Lady of the Lake is a very special existence."
"She will give the person with Five Chivalric Virtues a magical weapon named Lady of the Lake's Sword."
"But..."
"It's no big deal. Do you want to go with me? With my noble character, I will definitely get this artifact."
Geralt pondered slightly, "I haven't seen her for a long time, so let's go together."
"Huh? Long time no see? To be honest, have you fought her before [Gwent]?"
Geralt looked away, "That was a long time ago, please don't tell Little Yennefer."
Dick sighed secretly:
Good guy, Geralt is even a goddess-level figure... He deserves to be the leading actor.
The two of them each mounted their mounts. Both horses were produced by D'Shar Tribes.
D'Shar Tribes's horse is not good at carrying weight, but when riding alone, it can run like the wind.
It was night again at this time, and there were no pedestrians on the official road, so the two of them galloped away on horseback.
However, after just ten minutes of riding, the two of them pulled on the reins because the three people in front of the official road were standing still.
Moonlight stretched their shadows like a flock of graceful bats, and two of them were wearing familiar scarlet cloaks - it was Ralf and Jesse.
And the woman in the middle, wrapped in a black robe as thin as spider silk, was the female aristocrat next to Duke Anna at the banquet.
