Dick knew that the attractive-looking sorceress in front of her was searching for the history of her crime.

The reason why she asked herself why she had committed a crime was just to make herself think of relevant things unconsciously.

Sometimes, the less you want to recall something, the clearer it will appear in your brain.

The words of the sorceress are like bait, constantly luring the big fish of the original criminal memory.

Ruiwen did comply with the agreement. At first, he only searched for Dick's memory of the corresponding crime.

But after a moment of searching to no avail, Dick felt that Ruiwen began to explore other memories. In addition to the memory of his own growth and the fight with Monster, he also searched for details of his life in these days.

It was bearable at first, but soon, Dick noticed a picture:

In Odinburg, a maid led him to the end of the corridor, opened the door, and found a toilet inside.

Then, Dick was about to...

"That's enough!" Dick shouted loudly, and at the same time stood up and pushed Ruiwen.

For a moment, he felt that the connection between his mind and the sorceress opposite him was severed.

Phantom Hand disappeared in an instant, while Ruiwen seemed to be affected by a spell, his face was pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

When Geralt at the other end of the table saw this, he immediately pulled out the long sword from behind, turned his hand slightly, and the sword was covered with sparkling white Sword Qi.

Unlike Kayn, which only comes with Sword Qi on one end of the blade, Geralt actually has the entire blade covered with it, which shows its strength.

Geralt was about to take action, but was pressed down by Vesemir on the side.

"Don't worry, Geralt."

"I'm fine." Ruiwen said as he gently wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Hearing this, Geralt put down his sword.

Ruiwen looked at Dick again, "Dick, it is indeed my fault. I shouldn't have dug up your privacy."

"Humph, you said it so easily, so let's just forget about it?

"If an apology is useful, what's the use of laws? What's the use of rules? If I kill your whole family and then lower my head to apologize to you, will you accept it?"

Ruiwen clearly had anger flashing through his eyes, and his momentum surged, but he suppressed it for a moment, "... In that case, can I compensate you? As long as the request is not too much."

Dick was surprised. Logically speaking, these words should not make the sorceress in front of him so angry, but he was the closest to her. Others might not notice it, but he could really feel it.

That momentum was no less than that of the human wolf that Kayn had dealt with before.

This is the aura of a strong person. Is this sorceress so strong?

"Compensation? Who cares!"

Without thinking too much, Dick continued to act. He was angry on the surface, but happy in his heart.

Calculating it carefully, she didn't lose much, because she only retrieved recent memories, [Game Panel] and the events of her previous life were not exposed at all.

Dick also guessed why this happened:

He is a new soul, completely different from the original one.

He has only experienced these things so far, and Ruiwen's [Detect Thoughts] cannot retrieve the memory of the original body whose soul has dissipated.

And [Game Panel] is so powerful that he doesn't even understand how it came about, let alone others?

"Forget it, I am an open-minded person, let's do this. I am short of bombs, Magic Bombs. Make me 10 Dimeritium Bomb as an apology." Dick said righteously.

Geralt on the side had already put his sword back into its scabbard. When he heard this, even his usually dull expression couldn't help but look over, and he looked over with wide eyes.

Obviously, I didn't expect Dick to say such shameless words.

"Dick." Master began to persuade, "The material of Dimeritium Bomb is extremely rare. It would be great if you can make one in a short time.

"Let me make the decision. Ruiwen will make you one Dimeritium Bomb, plus two more Samum Bomb and four more Grapeshot Bomb. How about that? This matter is over."

Grapeshot Bomb is also a type of Magic Bombs, different from Dimeritium Bomb which can interrupt spell casting and Samum Bomb which can blind enemies.

Grapeshot Bomb is simple and crude, it just explodes and is generally used to destroy the nest of Monster.

Dick thought for a moment, and finally pretended to be reluctant and said, "Who told me that adults should not remember the faults of villains? Then... let's do it like this, but be quick."

"Okay, Dick. I apologize again for what I did just now. Once I return to Kaer Morhen, I will immediately work with the warlocks to help you make Magic Bombs." Ruiwen looked sincere.

Seeing that Dick stopped speaking, Ruiwen slowly returned to his seat.

Geralt next to him asked, "What happened just now, Ruiwen?"

"I just used magic to explore Dick's whole body. Except for the witcher badge on the neck and the space bag on the waist, there are no magic items that block thoughts or distort thoughts. But..."

"But what?"

"I have only found his experiences in recent days, and any previous experiences of Dick are completely blank.

"There is no other way. I can only look through it again and again to look for details to make sure nothing is missed."

"That's why Dick is so angry... well, I would be angry too."

"So now we need to discuss the final verdict for Dick?" Vesemir said with a smile.

Dick spread his body against the chair nonchalantly and looked at the ceiling.

Ruiwen didn't shy away from it either. He discussed with several demon hunters next to him about how to deal with Dick.

After a while, Master looked at Dick:

"Then let me announce the result! Although our [School of the Lynx] demon hunter Dick was not severely punished, he did make a small mistake.

"And demon hunters are born to eliminate demons and defend the law," Master looked serious again, "We will return to Kaer Morhen together in a few days.

"Before that, Dick, how about you do three more commissioned tasks for the people on Odinburg, as atonement?"

"Okay." Dick nodded lightly.

"Okay, now that the matter has ended successfully, we don't need to be so serious now." Master stood up and looked at the people around him, "I knew there was nothing wrong with my good disciple.

"He has just been a bit withdrawn and lazy since he was a child. How could he do so many bad things?

"Besides, I suddenly moved to a different place. Maybe I was acclimated to the local environment, and I got angry a little bit, so I started to make some moves with those vendors, residents, and mercenaries."

"Yes, yes." Vesemir on the side also echoed, and stretched out his arms, "Oh, it's finally over. Why don't we go to the pub to have a drink and celebrate Dick's innocence?"

'Creak', along with the sound of the door opening, a rush of cold air rushed in.

At the same time, Captain Fisher walked into the hall. He looked at several people with a serious face, and finally his eyes fell on Dick. The latter nodded slightly, and Fisher's expression relaxed slightly.

Afterwards, Fisher said to everyone in a deep voice, "Everyone, is your trial of Dick over?"

"It's over, it's over. It's nothing to do. I just happened to accompany Geralt for a walk." Vesemir laughed and said, "The final trial result should be explained to you Odinburg."

"Dick wants to make three more commissions for you Odinburg residents before leaving here."

"Congratulations, Dick."

Then Fisher looked at the other people, "But now there may be a trouble that needs your help."

"What's the matter?" Ruiwen asked.

"You Witcher Order people, two demon hunters just fought with mercenaries in the tavern, and now 6 mercenaries have died."

"What!" Master looked angry, "Didn't Russell agree not to cause trouble? Why did he kill 6 mercenaries in the blink of an eye?"
