Although Vimme·Vivaldi is already a member of Novigrad's upper class, he does not put on any airs of superiority.

Instead, he spoke in the tone of an elder admonishing a younger generation.

No airs, no sense of superiority with nostrils turned upward.

No wonder he can make the family bank the largest bank in Novigrad.

Therefore, Lynn did not turn around and leave, but said it very politely.

"Sir Vimme, I am very grateful that you can consider this for me, but this kind of worry is actually unnecessary. Didn't the great elder Brovar send someone to Novigrad recently?"

"Brovar Great Elder? How could you... wait a minute."

Vimme was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Are you the witcher who so beautifully solved the Mahakam problem?"

Lynn nodded. "To be precise, I and another fellow demon hunter solved it together. But I believe that the ghost in Novigrad's city is not as difficult to deal with as the one in Mahakam's mountains. I can handle it alone."

Lynn This is really not a casual statement.

The distribution of monsters and evil spirits in the world of witcher actually has certain rules.

Whether they are unintelligent monsters like Leshen or Fiend, or intelligent creatures like high-level vampires, they will try to avoid densely populated cities.

It doesn't mean that there are no monsters in the city.

Instead, they are monsters in the city, either living in the sewers like Drowner, or vampires who disguise themselves as humans.

There will never be a powerful evil spirit wreaking havoc in the city.

Because in that case, the people in the city would have fled long ago.

Besides, there is a high probability that the house in the city is haunted by Godling.

If it is really Godling, then the reward for this commission is the same as picking it up for free.

Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that evil spirits are at work.

But even if it is really an evil spirit, it will never be as powerful as Red Miasmal.

Lynn I am confident that I am definitely enough on my own.

"I accepted this mission. I will go take a look at the haunted house later, but Sir Vimme, please forgive me for asking how much compensation you plan to pay me."

It is better to say some things clearly in advance, otherwise if you don't say them in advance, there will be conflicts later.

The same goes for no matter how good a buddy you are.

"You like to go straight? Ha, but I don't hate it either. Young witcher, I'm eager to use this house. If you can really clean up the ghosts, I can give you this amount."

Vimme held out two fingers. "Two hundred kronor, payable in cash. I will never default on it, and I won't fool you with IOUs."

Two hundred crowns is enough.

Very fair.

If it was really Godling who was responsible, then it would be easy to make money.

And even if there is Wraith, it doesn't matter.

As mentioned before, in busy urban areas, there is usually no such powerful Wraith lurking.

Lynn stretched out his hand and shook the dwarf banker's hand solemnly.

"Deal, but I have one last question, Mr. Vimme, will you call Gwent?"

"You've asked the right person, young man. My poker skills are among the best in the city."

Regrettably, this Gwent game was more thunderous than rainy.

In the end, Lynn only won twenty crowns from Vimme.

After losing two games in a row, Vimme refused to play cards with Lynn no matter what.

It took more than ten minutes to get out of Vivaldi Bank.

Lynn came to the haunted house.

This haunted house is located in Shangcheng District and is a two-story villa with a yard.

The area of this villa is not small in this place where land is at a premium.

Lynn did not enter the villa immediately.

Instead, we first walked around the courtyard wall outside the villa.

There are no signs of intrusion, fighting or destruction on the courtyard walls.

If I hadn't known in advance that this place was haunted, this house would not look much different from an ordinary house.

But Lynn did not go in directly.

Instead, he walked towards the house next to him.

He shouted several times outside the yard.

The door opened quickly, and a man stood behind the door, looking at Lynn warily.

"You are..."

"Hello, I've been asked to solve the problem of a haunted house."

The alert look on the man's face has obviously softened a lot.

"By the gods, someone is finally here to clean up this mess."

Lynn nodded and asked, "You live next door, so have you heard anything?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "Motion? No, no."

Lynn wondered, "No? So you just heard that the neighbor's house is haunted, but you have never actually seen it?"

The man nodded. "Yes."

Lynn frowned.

"Then have you heard anything unusual?"

The man shook his head again.

"Okay, so do you know anyone else who's seen it?"

"No."

Lynn asked a few more questions, but didn't get the answers he wanted.

So he went to find other people and asked them about the situation.

And they all said that they had only heard that the house was haunted, but they had never seen it with their own eyes or heard any strange movements.

"This is interesting."

Lynn returns to the haunted house.

Although no result was asked, sometimes no result is still a result.

If it is a powerful evil spirit, it is impossible for neighbors to feel it at all.

However, for the sake of safety, before he officially entered, he still put a master-level Quen Shield on himself.

As usual, I took several magic potions.

After the potion took effect, he took out the key given by Vimme, opened the door of the courtyard wall, and walked in.

The layout of the courtyard is very different from the preferences of other wealthy people. There are green scenes, fountains, and all the necessary scenery.

In addition, there are many medicinal herbs grown in the yard, and it seems that the previous owner was an alchemist.

Alchemy is of course not unique to demon hunters.

Ordinary people also have potions that ordinary people use, and there are many kinds of them.

However, the useful potions used by ordinary people are a bit like traditional Chinese medicine.

As for other things like cure all diseases, eternal youth, etc., don't even think about it, they are definitely fake.

Of course, warlocks also mix their magic potions.

And that's another story.

Lynn checked it out and quickly identified that these herbs were raw materials used to make wound medicine.

He stayed in the yard for a long time.

School of the Wolf Medallion had no reaction, and his enhanced senses did not hear any movement.

Then he walked towards the villa.

He had just entered the villa and before the door was closed, something suddenly happened without warning.

The ground suddenly shook violently.

The chandelier hanging from the ceiling was shaking violently.
