The sound of steel clashing continued, and the sparks generated by the collision of weapons fell like raindrops.
Then...
The silver sword copied by Doppler was thrown away by the demon hunter and flew into the pig pen.
The demon hunter took advantage of the situation and put the silver sword in front of Doppler's throat.
Just move forward one inch and Doppler's throat will be pierced by him.
"I understand your race, Doppler. Although you can become me, there are some parts of me that you cannot copy, such as those parts that can hurt others and cause death... you simply cannot understand it."
"This is you, Doppler."
Doppler didn't dare to move at all.
Not only because the silver sword that was so close could easily pierce his throat.
This is especially because Doppler's weakness is silver.
As long as he touches silver, he will no longer be able to control his form and will turn into a puddle of mud.
"Then kill me, Demon Hunter. I would rather die by your sword than fall into the hands of Eternal Fire and those Madman."
Lynn has no answer.
At this moment, a large number of footsteps came from far and near.
"Over there."
"Hurry! Hurry!"
"Don't let the troublemakers get away!"
Lynn Without thinking, he took off his cloak and threw it into the magic pattern leather bag.
Under his cloak is a set of Novigrad city guard armor.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly become like me?"
Doppler doesn't know Lynn's plan.
But he quickly realized that Lynn was not ready to hand him over yet.
So he did as he was told.
When the city guard heard the news and rushed over, they saw only two comrades.
"The troublemaker ran over there," Lynn pointed in a random direction and said in a low voice, "My companion is injured, I have to take him to a doctor."
Most people ran in the direction pointed by the witcher's hand without thinking.
Several city guards also reached out to Lynn with concern. "Do you need help?"
But Lynn declined their help.
When seeing all the guards disappear from their sight, Lynn said, "They will soon find out that they have been deceived, and we have to leave here quickly."
But Doppler hesitated.
He didn't know whether he should leave with Lynn.
Seeing that the other party did not move.
Without thinking, the witcher set up Doppler and ran in the opposite direction.
Lynn is very fast, and he does not walk in a straight line, but tries his best to cross the streets and alleys.
After passing through another deserted alley, Lynn canceled the effect of Glamarye and returned to the appearance of a witcher.
Doppler also turned himself into an ordinary little vendor.
Coming out of the alley, they had arrived at another area.
The streets here are dirtier, and the mental state, nutritional conditions, and clothing of the people passing by are also worse.
Here is Harborside District of Novigrad, also called Dock District.
It is the dirtiest and messiest area besides the slums.
If slums are places where only outsiders live, then those who live in Harborside District are all city dwellers.
"It should be enough to get here. Those guards probably won't chase us here."
Doppler finally asked the question in his heart, "Why didn't you hand me over to those guards? Isn't that the purpose of arresting me?"
But Lynn did not answer, but instead threw a question.
"What's your name?"
"Does it matter? In your eyes, we are all monsters anyway."
"I asked you your name. I hate saying the same thing twice, let alone asking it a third time."
Seeing that the witcher didn't seem to be joking, Doppler finally spit out a name.
"Trico Langrevinc Le Tote."
Lynn said in his heart that it was true.
"Your friends all call you 'Dudu'?"
This time it was Doppler's turn to be surprised.
"You... how did you know?"
"Not only do I know what your friends call you, I also know a lot more about you."
In the future, he will also meet a dwarf businessman named Dandy Bibwit.
He made a lot of money by pretending to be the latter.
In the further future, he also pretended to be Whoreson Junior, one of Big Four, and not only laundered all the assets of Whoreson Junior, but also invested in legal and very profitable overseas trading companies.
No matter which world we are in, this person's physique is different from person to person.
Some people are naturally good at sprinting, and some are naturally good at fighting...
And Dudu, he is born to do business.
This is also the reason why Lynn, who has not yet become a baron in Toussaint, has the confidence to recruit Letho and others.
He had already thought about it, letting Dudu become his professional manager to help him manage his own assets, so that money can make money.
Some people may ask, aren't you afraid that others will take away your assets?
Again, when it comes to perspective, Doppler + dwarfs + dwarves + elves + dryads, these ancient races, all tied together are not as smart as humans.
And Doppler is the kindest one among all the ancient races.
Because people don't even have evil thoughts at all.
Therefore, Lynn can safely hand over his assets to Dudu.
"Come on, let's find a place to sit down and eat and talk."
After a while.
In the private room of the "The Spear Cave" pub.
Dudu, who was sitting opposite Lynn, had his eyes wide open with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"I... did I hear you correctly? You want to hire me... to be your professional manager and responsible for taking care of all your assets?"
Lynn picked up a piece of barbecue with a fork, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and made a vague sound.
"Word to word, your hearing is as good as mine."
"But why?"
"What why?"
"I thought you would..." Dudu lowered his voice and said, "Use me to prove your companion's innocence."
Lynn picked up the apple juice on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"I have other ways to get him acquitted, but a loyal and kind-hearted professional manager is hard to find even with a lantern."
Lynn's words made Dudu feel filled with joy.
Everyone will feel happy when others recognize their abilities.
Not to mention a kind creature like Doppler.
But he still had a question.
"Aren't you afraid that I might run away with all your money?"
Looking at Dudu's serious expression, Lynn couldn't help but want to tease him.
So he pretended to think for a while, and then slowly said, "Well, this is indeed a problem, but I believe that with your intelligence, you will not do such a thing."
"What do you mean? You look down on me?" Doppler said angrily.
The witcher spread his hands.
"Of course not, it's just... you see, even kings need allies, and nobles will marry their daughters to other nobles in order to seek political marriage."
"In this terrible era, no one can live without friends, especially those whose business is getting bigger and bigger."
"Logically speaking, you should know what will happen to a person who has no friends and a huge amount of wealth."
"So, are you sure you missed me as a friend for the gold I gave you?"
"You don't need me to repeat to you the importance of friends, right?"
