What he needs is a servant to clean the house and buy groceries and cook, not a child who needs to be taken care of himself.
"Master Lynn, don't you need a servant? Even though this child has thin arms and legs, she can do a lot of work."
"And her requirements are not high. As long as she can live in a house with a roof and have two meals to eat, you don't have to pay her wages."
"Honestly, if it weren't for the Novigrad city hall regulations that prohibit the employment of child labor, I would have accepted this child."
"Hey, sometimes it's also a problem for the system to be too advanced."
After listening to the dwarf banker's words, Lynn's eyes twitched. "Your Excellency Weimo, do you think I look like a bad nobleman with some special habits?"
As if sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, Wei Mo was startled.
He explained hurriedly.
"No, of course not. For God's sake, how could I think so badly of you, Master? You have misunderstood. I really just think this child must be suitable for you."
"Of course, it depends on you. If you feel it is not suitable, then I will choose another suitable candidate for you."
With that said, Weimo turned to the dwarf waiter and said, "Lucas, take this child down."
The dwarf waiter nodded and said to the little girl, "Let's go."
The two of them walked outside the conference room.
Looking at that thin back, for some reason Lynn suddenly had a particularly strange thought in his heart:
If he doesn't do something, maybe this will be the last time he sees this poor little girl who is like an abandoned animal.
Finally, Lynn relented.
"Wait a minute."
The dwarf waiter has already pushed open the door of the conference room.
After hearing what Lynn said, he stopped.
"Sir Weimo, I will give this child a one-month probation period. During this month, she will be responsible for cleaning my house, washing my clothes, sheets, and bedding, buying groceries for me, cooking for me, taking care of my horses, etc."
"If she does a good job, she can stay and continue to serve me. Of course, no matter how much salary she should be paid, I will not give her a copper less..."
"I'll give her a month to prove she can do the job, but if she disappoints me, I'll send her back."
"Your Excellency Wei Mo, I would like to trouble your people to take her down first, let her take a bath, and then change her into clean clothes."
Wei Mo grinned and ordered his people with a smile.
"Lucas, you heard what Master Lynn said, just do it."
After the two people left, the VIP room became quiet again.
The dwarf banker rubbed his hands.
"Hey, I knew Master Lynn wouldn't just watch that poor child live on the street and eventually die of hunger and cold."
Lynn frowned.
He doesn't like to be given a high hat.
I don't even want to be kidnapped by others' morality.
So he said coldly.
"That's not necessarily the case, Mr. Weimo, don't forget, I am a demon hunter, and demon hunters are bloodless and tearless. If she does not do well, I will really throw her out, and I will do what I say."
Weimo laughed.
He wisely chose to remain silent and not argue with the witcher.
After a while, Lynn took the initiative to break the silence. "But why did that child come to you? Is she from the city? Or does she live in some village outside the city?"
Weimo scratched his head. "No, her village is on the east side of the Kestrel Mountains."
"The Kestrel Mountains? Isn't that within the territory of Kingdom of Kaedwen? How could she come to Novigrad?"
The Kestrel Mountains are a long mountain range that separates the north, starting from the northernmost city of Holopole, to the Buina River, and then extending from the Buina River to the border of Redania and Kaedwen.
If you want to go from the east side of the Kestrel Mountains to Novigrad, you must first pass through the border of Kaedwen and the entire Kingdom of Redania.
You know, in this era, it is very difficult to get from one place to another.
This is not only because in this era, there are no fast and convenient travel tools, but also because the roads are full of dangers.
Robbers, bandits, wild beasts, corpse-eating monsters, etc...
This distant journey may not be possible even for an adult.
Then here comes the problem.
How could such a thin child do it?
"I asked her, but she didn't tell me how she got to Novigrad. She only told me that her village was destroyed. Her parents and three brothers fought hard for her and her sister to escape. Her sister also died of the cold on the road."
"Now she's the only one left."
There are too many things like this in this era.
The peace and stability of the home world where Lynn comes from is something that people of this era can't even imagine.
"Who did it? Robbers? Kaedwen people?"
The dwarf banker shook his head.
"No, it's Children of Freedom, the elves who vowed to restore their former glory."
"Wait, you said Children of Freedom?"
Children of Freedom, the predecessor of Scoia'tael.
The name Scoia'tael only spread after the First Northern War, and this name was not actually given by the elves themselves.
They named themselves "Children of Freedom", but they felt that the northerners called them "Scoia'tael", which meant that the northerners were afraid of them.
Therefore, after the First Northern War, the Children of Freedoms all transformed into Scoia'tael.
"I remember that Children of Freedom was not all formed by oppressed elves out of resistance to human tyranny? How could they attack the elven villages? Sir Weimo, could you have made a mistake somewhere?"
Wei Mo let out a disdainful sneer.
"Who doesn't know that behind those Children of Freedom, there are Nilfgaard people? Even their battle slogan, the famous phrase 'Drive humanity back into the sea', was taught to them by Nilfgaard people."
"Deliberately attacking villages of the same race, and then deceiving other members of the same race with false information - even if those Children of Freedom people don't think of it, the Nilfgaard people will teach them how to do it."
"As for taking action if you can't stop it... don't make me laugh. Don't look at those pointy-eared people now looking like victims. You must know that before humans landed, the so-called splendid elven kingdoms they boasted practiced slavery."
"Who are you enslaving? It's neither us dwarves nor gnomes, it's their elves."
"Master Demon Hunter, maybe you don't know about the Wagner system in the elven countries, right?"
"I really like the definition given by Oxenfurt University, a professor named Sigismund Grogg. I remember what he said:"
Wei Mo deliberately cleared his throat and said like an old scholar.
"In those ancient elven kings' opinion, boots are boots and hats are hats. Boots cannot be worn on the head and hats cannot be worn on the feet;"
"The same is true for the subjects of the elven countries. Among the countries, the subjects have their own positions. The children of nobles should inherit the nobility, and the sons of serfs should be born to work in the fields..."
"If the sons of serfs were given the same rights to acquire knowledge as the sons of nobles, it would be a disaster second only to the end of the world."
"Hahaha, it's a bit far-fetched... Let's get back to business. In short, this child has been very diligent in her hands and feet during the past few days she has been here with me. All the employees here like her very much."
"Including that boring gourd named Lucas, despite his appearance, he is actually just stupid."
"As long as you give that child a chance, she will never let you down."
This time, the witcher didn't object.
Suddenly, the dwarf banker seemed to have thought of something and patted his head.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot something very important."
"Master Lynn, during the time when you left Novigrad, Sir Luxer came to see me several times, saying that there was another very important thing that I needed to trouble you with."
"I hope you can take time to visit him as soon as possible after you come back."
