After that, Lynn left Oxenfurt University and returned to Novigrad.

During this period, several small commissions were also completed.

But the benefits are far less than that.

It can only be said to be a Dada Ya Festival.

Soon, half a month passed.

On this day, an old man came to the hotel where Lynn was staying.

It turns out that he is Ruxe's butler, and his purpose is to be entrusted by his master to invite Lynn to Ruxe's house again in order to express his gratitude.

Lynn didn't think much about it, so he went with the housekeeper.

In a house uptown.

He saw Ruxe with a smile on his face.

Ruxe's wife also came out of the tragic experience more than ten days ago and apologized for her previous rudeness.

In order to entertain Lynn, Ruxe prepared a large table of delicious food.

Several people were chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was lively.

After dinner, Ruxe asked Myshelle and his wife to go down.

After the servant cleared the table, Ruxe revealed another purpose of inviting Lynn over.

And Lynn also guessed that the purpose of Ruxe inviting him was not just to express his gratitude.

So he didn't show any surprise.

And the reason why he was still willing to come over was because he guessed that Ruxe's purpose was that he might be in trouble and needed to be solved by him as a demon hunter.

Facts have proved that his guess was correct.

Ruxe really needs a witcher.

It's just that he wasn't in trouble.

But one of his friends.

As long as you are a businessman doing business in Novigrad, it is impossible not to deal with Vimme·Vivaldi.

Vimme is a dwarf, to be precise, a dwarf banker.

Vivaldi Bank has been in Novigrad for many years, and when Vimme took over the family business, he built Vivaldi Bank into the largest bank in Novigrad.

When Ruxe became a Novigrad businessman, Vimme helped Ruxe a lot.

It was with the introduction of Vimme that Ruxe was able to gain a firm foothold in Novigrad without being ostracized by local peers.

And he was willing to lend money to Ruxe when Ruxe's capital turnover was difficult to help him tide over the difficulties.

Ruxe is naturally not an ungrateful person.

In return, and in order for the two of them to continue to deepen their cooperation in the future, Ruxe deposited all his money in Vivaldi Bank.

And try to convince his friends to use Vivaldi Bank as the first choice for saving and borrowing.

But this time, Vimme encountered a problem.

Some time ago, Vimme bought a house in Shangcheng District at a low price from someone else for a certain purpose.

Vimme I thought I had found a big leak, but I didn't expect that there was a reason why the homeowner was eager to take action.

And it wasn't financial reasons - the house was haunted.

"Then our banker didn't go to the landlord to return the goods? Is he so honest that he suffered this dumb loss?"

Lynn was shocked.

Marx once said that once there is appropriate profit, capital will be bold.

With a profit of 300%, it dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging.

When it comes to typical capitalists, bankers are undoubtedly the most suitable example.

Although he knew that Vimme·Vivaldi was not the kind of vampire who would trample on his conscience and morality for the sake of profit, it was really hard for Lynn to believe that he would swallow his anger.

Lynn's doubts were expected by Ruxe.

Because when he learned about this from Vimme, he had the same reaction as Lynn at this time.

"It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, it's that he has no way to look for it. After all, no one can trouble a dead person, right?"

Ruxe said in a helpless tone.

"When Mr. Vimme planned to have a good chat with the original house owner, the original house owner was sunk into the bay by Whoreson Junior's men because he slept with Whoreson Junior's mistress."

"Oh, yes, you may not know who Whoreson Junior is, look at my memory."

"His real name is Cyprian·Wiley. He is one of the evil forces in the Novigrad underground society."

"In fact, he should be called Junior Wiley. The nickname Whoreson (son of a bitch) was given to him by those who don't like him."

"But if you really come face to face with him one day, don't call him that, and it's best not to look at him."

"Anyway... where did I just say it? Oh, right, because the original owner was killed by Whoreson Junior, and Mr. Vimme has no way to return it, so he needs a demon hunter to help him solve the problem of the house being haunted."

"I understand my friend, as long as the commission is completed, there will be no problem in terms of remuneration."

Lynn knows the name Vimme·Vivaldi.

Even among the dwarf bankers, he is a very famous one.

He is very greedy for money.

Everything in his eyes will be automatically converted into krona.

If he buys a painting, it will never be because of art, but because he thinks the painting can be resold for a good price.

However, although he looks like a miser like Grandet, he is actually not bad at treating his friends.

If a friend is in trouble, he will try his best to help as long as it is within his ability.

"A commission from a banker?"

Lynn agreed without much hesitation.

Not to mention the rewards you can get for completing the commission.

Even if you get to know a banker, it's worth it.

Lynn's big plan also requires him to contact and get acquainted with people from all walks of life, thereby broadening his network and accumulating such invisible assets.

When Lynn and Ruxe came to Vivaldi Bank and informed them of their intention.

The two of them were invited by bank staff to wait in the VIP room.

After a while, a dwarf wearing a rich brocade dress and a bare head walked in.

He and Ruxe said hello to each other, and then Ruxe introduced Lynn to him.

"Your Excellency Vimme, this is the master witcher who rescued me from the pit of fire."

Vimme crossed his arms and looked at Lynn carefully from top to bottom.

"Ruxe Your Excellency, and this Master Demon Hunter, it's not that I don't believe it, it's really..."

Vimme scratched his face. "You look too young. I really don't know much about demon hunters, but kid, dealing with a few bandits is not the same thing as dealing with ghosts."

"A foot knight wearing plate armor can easily defeat a group of thugs, because thugs are unorganized and undisciplined. As long as the first few are killed, the rest will naturally disperse."

"But ghosts can't be defeated. Only demon hunters can deal with ghosts. Otherwise, no matter how many plate-armored knights you go to, you will end up dead."

"If you are not sure, child, just give up. I don't want you to die because of your bravery."
