Lynn looked around and after confirming that there was no one else around, he walked through the door curtain and got in.
The witcher's boots made a crunching sound on the wooden floor of the shed.
The sound startled the man lying on the cardboard.
His response was quite quick.
When he noticed the intruder, he immediately sat up.
And grabbed the dagger lying aside.
Try to look fierce.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my territory! Get out! Be careful I'll beat you up!"
"Aard."
Bang!
The invisible air wave knocked the man against the wall of the shack, and the dagger in his hand was knocked out.
There was a look of horror in the man's eyes, knowing that he had hit a brick wall.
But what he actually didn't know was that this was after Lynn had already retained his hand.
Otherwise, if Lynn's master-level Signs goes all out, the man's internal organs without any protection will definitely be shattered into pieces.
"You... you are..."
Only then did the man see Lynn's eyes clearly.
Suddenly the liver and gallbladder were split apart.
"Are you the same kind as that monster? You are a monster too!"
Lynn opened his mouth and showed a kind smile.
"Is it possible that I understand Common Speech, or do you think you don't want to die fast enough?"
"Or do you think calling someone a monster is a compliment?"
"Don't... don't kill me, my lord."
The man immediately knelt on the ground and raised his hands.
"You are Alfred, Old John's biological brother? Since you just said that I am 'the same kind of monster', then you should also know why I came to you."
"I don't know, my lord, I don't know anything."
Alfred regretted it in his heart.
How did he know that there were two such monsters?
Don't people say that mutants are now endangered and rare?
Why did a younger one appear again?
"Don't know?"
Lynn's kind smile turned into a sneer.
Judging from the other party's reaction, it is obviously not a reaction of ignorance.
But, it doesn't matter whether the other party is willing to say it or not.
He has other ways to get the other person to talk.
The witcher's middle finger was slightly bent, and his eyes stayed on Alfred.
"Axii."
A white magical light shone on the opponent's head.
Immediately, Alfred stood up, looking numb.
It's like a marionette.
The next step is much simpler.
Lynn asked, Alfred answered.
Except for formal warlocks, ordinary people simply cannot resist the charm of master-level Axii Sign.
Alfred explained everything.
The situation is basically consistent with what Old John said.
And the truth at that time also surfaced:
That day, Alfred went to Old John's bakery to collect debts. Old John begged hard, but Alfred only wanted money and didn't want to hear anything else.
Seeing that Old John refused, they made a scene in front of the bakery, hindering Old John from doing business.
At this time, "Geralt" who often buys bread appeared.
He beat Alfred, threatened Alfred, and then left.
In the sight of others, Alfred returned to his temporary residence in the Novigrad slum in despair. He became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he ran to the city hall to report it.
The city hall sent people to Old John's Bakery to investigate and collect evidence. After learning that it was indeed the case, they issued a wanted order for "Geralt".
This is what happened.
Lynn's eyes moved downward.
He found that Alfred's clothes were stained with the same spice smell that he noticed when he was in the bakery.
"Did you smell a different smell coming from that demon hunter?"
"Yes, there is a peculiar spice smell on his body. This smell is the same as the one I smelled when I passed by a stall in the market near Tretogor Gate when I first came to Novigrad."
Market near Tretogor Gate?
Lynn nodded.
Next, he only needs to follow the smell and go to the market Alfred mentioned, and he will definitely find someone.
Seeing that he could ask no more questions, Lynn suddenly took action and grabbed Alfred's neck.
The next second, there was only a crisp click sound.
Alfred's neck was directly twisted by him.
If we say that in the eyes of people of this era, beggars are useless scraps.
Then people like Alfred are scum worse than beggars.
For a person like him, as long as he still has a sense of shame, he doesn't have any sense of shame at all.
If we let him go, he will not repent and will only continue to pester Old John and Gresa.
It's better to just kill him and get rid of him once and for all.
Although Alfred is dead, his body cannot be left here.
No one may notice it in a short period of time, but over time, the stench from the corpse will definitely attract the attention of others.
Lynn also needs "Alfred" to fish out Geralt, so the body of the real Alfred cannot be discovered.
Of course, this is actually not difficult to do.
He put Alfred's body into a sack, then put two layers of sacks on the outside, and finally threw it into the magic pattern leather bag.
The space inside the magic pattern leather bag was very large, so he placed the body in the corner of the space, far away from other items.
Then, when he turned around, he found another opportunity and threw the body into the sea.
If you want to ask, what is the standard configuration in big cities?
One of them must be the city gate.
Any big city has more than one city gate.
The gate through which Lynn enters Novigrad is called Glory Gate.
And this is just one of the many gates in Novigrad.
What Lynn is going to now is another city gate called Tretogor Gate.
Interestingly, the capital of Redania happens to be also called Tretogor.
In fact, from the name, we can also see the purpose of this city gate.
And this is indeed the case.
This city gate was built with donations from the royal family of Redania.
In order to please the Novigrad businessman and the Eternal Fire archbishop, they not only spared money but also spared no effort in the construction project.
We spent a lot of money to hire the famous architect Anna Yaye Pinkowitz and her experienced team.
Finally, the city gate was built.
Not far from Tretogor Gate, Lynn also found the small market.
However, considering that the other party is unlikely to submit obediently.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble...
Before going to the market, Lynn used Glamarye to change his appearance and another outfit before going to the market.
