Finally, the exhausted group could see the city wall of Novigrad from a distance.
Auckes whistled. "This city is really big."
In the base camp of School of the Viper, before it was annihilated by the Nilfgaard Army, the trio of Letho used to be active in the south.
Except for the capital of Nilfgaard and City of Golden Towers, they have not been to all the capitals of the southern countries (of course they should be called provinces now).
Before coming to Novigrad, Beauclair was the largest city they had ever seen.
But now, the Novigrad that appeared in front of them was actually bigger than Beauclair.
Serrit also said at this time, "Northerners call this city the Pearl of the North, which seems to make sense. At least it is big enough."
Letho concluded.
"Although this city is big, there are probably a lot of dirty things in it. If you are a killer or a mercenary, you will be at ease here, but you won't want us to do such a thing, will you, Lynn?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Lynn beside him.
The latter smiled.
"Of course, no matter how good the killer is, it is just a knife in the hands of others. The business we want to do is far more than that."
"But right now, what I need you to do is actually very simple. First of all, the first step is: complete all the monster hunting commissions in the city."
"There must be commissions for witchers on the notice boards in the city, go and complete them all."
Letho thought for a while and said.
"There are probably a lot of commissions, but between the three of us, including School of the Griffin, George, and four demon hunters, it will probably take less than two months to complete all the commissions. So what should we do next?"
In fact, Letho does not think that life without monsters is not good.
He was just worried that if there was no demon hunting commission, the four of them (if Geralt was not counted) would all be left to eat.
By then, can Lynn still be able to support so many mouths?
It's not that Letho doesn't believe Lynn, it's just that he is dozens of years older than Lynn. He has seen, heard, and experienced much more than Lynn.
The pressure from all aspects of reality will destroy or even change a person.
What Letho didn't know was that in the original plot, he unfortunately became the kind of person he thought he was.
Hearing this, the young demon hunter turned his head and glanced at the bald man.
It was as if he could see through the other person's mind.
He smiled.
"There will be other things for you to do when the time comes, don't worry too much."
"Compared to this, we are facing a more urgent matter now," Lynn's eyes swept over the eyes of the trio Geralt, Letho and George one by one. "In order to avoid attracting attention, I think it is best for us to enter the city separately."
This has nothing to do with being a witcher or not.
Any group of people carrying weapons entering a big city like Novigrad will attract attention.
After all, gatekeepers also have responsibilities.
You can't just stand there like a piece of wood.
Letho looked like a muscular man, but he was very careful. "Then Serrit, Auckes and I, the three of us entered the city from other gates at different times."
"Then I will join you." George said.
School of the Griffin's George has become a lot closer to the Letho trio along the way.
Originally, George thought that School of the Viper had fallen to the same level as School of the Cat, accepting an assassination commission.
But when Letho and the others told George, it was because they were unwilling to completely become killers that their school's stronghold was destroyed by the Nilfgaard Army...
George sympathizes with them and feels ashamed of his own doubts.
Later, the griffin and the viper got along very well.
"Then we will meet at my villa in the uptown area. If you arrive first, tell the people in the house that I asked you to come."
"By the way, Auckes, I would like to remind you not to scare the people in the house, otherwise you will look good."
Snakes are cold-blooded creatures. Theoretically speaking, a demon hunter named after a viper and born in this school should also be emotionally indifferent.
However, Auckes is an anomaly.
This guy is a damn optimist, and like Lambert, he has his own self-righteous humor.
"Why are you just talking about me?" Auckes shouted.
Regis said slowly.
"Northern people are really hospitable. In this case, Lynn, you and Geralt can go together. Syanna can let me take care of her. I will take her over to you in the evening... Syanna, what do you think?"
Syanna, wearing a cloak and hood, nodded.
With this being settled, the group of people dispersed and entered through different city gates.
Lynn and Geralt chose Glory Gate.
Novigrad As the Pearl of the North, the population is highly mobile. Many people cannot afford houses in the city, so they live outside the city, go back to where they live at night, and then go to the city to work during the day.
Therefore, there were long queues outside every city gate.
However, although the queue is long, the efficiency of entering the city is not slow.
Civilians who go to the city to work every day without weapons can go directly to the city without paying the entry fee.
Councilors at City Hall are not stupid.
They know that their tall buildings are not built from the ground, but rely on the labor force who come to the city to work.
Therefore, they cannot ask these low-level civilians for entry fees.
But those who carry weapons must pay a fee to enter the city.
Because these people with weapons will not contribute to the bright future of Novigrad.
And if you are a merchant carrying goods, you will pay more or less entry fees depending on the quantity of goods.
When it was Lynn and Geralt's turn, the guards didn't pay much attention at first.
Although Eternal Fire has already been stationed in Novigrad in this era, it is not as extreme as it would be twenty years later.
Therefore, after seeing the golden eyes of the two people, even though they looked at them a few more times, they didn't say anything more.
Until one of the guards noticed the appearance of Geralt and suddenly seemed to have discovered something.
Staring hard at Geralt's face.
"It's him! It's him! He's here!"
Now all the other guards at the city gate surrounded him.
There was also a guard who took off a wanted notice from the wall. His eyes glanced back and forth between Geralt and the wanted notice.
Finally, he shouted with a very certain tone, "Yes! It's him! Geralt of Rivia!"
"Hey, wait, don't get excited, gentlemen," Lynn stood forward, standing between Geralt and the guards, "Have you misunderstood, gentlemen, we have just returned from overseas?"
