Witcher's Atelier

After a good rest, the next day, the weather was sunny and cloudy. In the swamp forest south of Vizima, they got off the ferry again. Victor, the general commander of the Phantom Troupe, and his chief thug Angouleme did not need to escape this time. They strode into the small fishing village that prospered because of the newly established "logging area".

Since it is a supporting village of the logging area, there is no shortage of wood. Newly built houses can be seen everywhere in the village, which is in sharp contrast to the original dilapidated buildings. The clothes of the pedestrians are also clearly distinguished between locals and newcomers.

While the troupe was still observing the town, someone who had already observed them in the town came to greet them. This was a wretched, slightly bald man wearing ordinary cloth, who looked like a broker.

"Hi, welcome to Swamp Village. Judging from your attire, you are new mercenaries, right? There are many opportunities to make a fortune in this town. It depends on whether you can grasp them!"

Victor looked at his bald head and said with a subtle expression: "Haha, I believe that we have already grasped the tail of the opportunity when we met you."

The man laughed out loud, "Great, young man, as soon as I saw you, I knew you had a future and would make a fortune. I am a businessman, and I happen to have a great business for you to join.

You know there are many wild wolves in the forest, and their skins can be exchanged for Oren. There is no doubt that my purchase price is the best in Swamp Village.

So I think we can cooperate. You are responsible for collecting ten wolf skins in the forest for me, and I will give you a full hundred Oren. You will never find this price anywhere else!"

After listening to his words, Angouleme didn't even look at him. He raised his left wrist and rotated it in a circle. With the sound of an eagle's cry in the air, Catherine fell from the sky and landed on her gauntlet. The posture was not only handsome, but more importantly, the style was instantly extraordinary.

With his friends helping to boost the momentum, Victor remained silent, just smiling at the man who claimed to be a businessman but was actually a broker, and his heart was chilled.

Feeling like he had hit a wall, the bald man shook his hands in front of his chest, "Uh... I'm sorry I just said the wrong price, ten wolf skins should be worth 120, no... 140 orens."

Victor smiled and shook his head, "Although your price is good, I'm sorry I can't accept your opportunity to make a fortune, because I saw on the notice board in the city that a Mr. 'Shang Perry' offered a commission, ten wolf skins for 150 orens."

After saying that, ignoring the mixed feelings on the broker's face, the boy took the purse from his waist and held it in front of the other party, "Sir, look, isn't my wallet very pitiful?"

The bald man was dumbfounded by this action. He didn't know what the boy meant by taking out this bulging purse and saying it was pitiful.

"Look - it's so pitiful, squeezed into such a big bag by the Orens, it can't breathe. Don't you want to help it and make it less crowded?" While speaking, Victor also threw the purse up gently, and then it fell back into his palm with a thud.

Observing the bald man's expression from the side, when he saw the broker's eyes moving up and down with the rise and fall of the purse, Angouleme almost couldn't help laughing.

This is the unique skill that Victor said he would teach me when chatting on the boat, the "arcane" impact that is invincible in Temeria.

After the poor broker took this shot at close range, his eyes almost popped out, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had difficulty breathing. Angouleme silently remembered this scene in his heart.

It is indeed like the leader taught himself, money is the strongest magic known in the world, more magical than magic, and we can solve problems with money, so we will solve them with money.

Last night, when she and Catherine finished playing and went home, as expected, the leader had already arrived home earlier, drinking milk and doing alchemy in the basement.

She came back at the same time, so the boy called her over and demonstrated in front of her how the Temerian lily could be transformed into a Redanian silver eagle, and how the handsome Foltest could be transformed into a bald Radovid.

This gorgeous performance made the girl's jaw drop. Even though the whole process took two hours and she would faint if she cooked too much at one time, it was still a magical skill that could drive anyone crazy.

The leader said that he didn't want to attract attention, so the group had to seem to have legitimate income, such as hunting monsters or selling potions, but it was still easy for the two of them to live a life of not lacking money in private.

The girl would never remember wrongly that the crown was the strongest currency in the northern countries, and one "crown" could be exchanged for two "orens" or three "ducats".

After a while, after losing ten gold coins, the pitiful and crowded wallet finally became much looser, and the boy also got the first-hand local information he wanted from the slightly bald man.

Then the two let the broker lead the way and found Mr. "Shang Perry" in the tavern - a brown-haired man with a bit of aristocratic air and a protruding chest and belly.

After Angouleme and Catherine once again performed the human-eagle match, explaining the truth that high style requires a high price, the brigade received a purchase contract for ten wolf skins in exchange for 200 orens.

Then knock on the wooden door of the largest house in the village and talk to the village chief, Ms. "Vaska", who is an almost completely withered old woman who leads the villagers to believe in an unknown water god in the nearby lake.

After exchanging some ideas about faith and confirming that she is a neurotic old woman, Victor accepted her commission to "find missing villagers", sent away the reluctant slightly bald broker with five orens, and left the village with Angouleme and entered the forest.

…

They were walking on the road to the Scoia'tael camp. Because of the operation to clear the giant thorn tree, an elf guide was needed to find the target efficiently.

"Wick, I don't quite understand. It's understandable to accept the purchase of wolf skins. The price is not bad, but why should we specially accept the commission to find missing villagers?"

After walking for a while, Angouleme asked, and Victor was pleased that the girl began to take the initiative to think about the reasons behind each action.

"Well...that's a good question. The answer is for reputation. You can understand reputation as another currency, which is used in some places where money is not convenient to use.

For example, the night before yesterday, Siegfried would not have helped us without the reputation of destroying the water ghosts, let alone the support of Knight Master Jaques.

Although I teach you how to use money to hit people like Arcane Impact, you must remember that money is almost omnipotent, but it is not omnipotent. In contrast, a brilliant reputation can not only be realized, but even gold coins can be used to make money. to things. "

After explaining the problem, he felt that he was not far from the Scoia'tael camp. Victor decided to change the topic, "It will be used soon. Now tell me about your experience in reading "The Research Diary of the Giant Thorn Demon Tree" this morning."

Tsk! After failing to start the topic first, the group leader still asked about the book report...

Angoulan could only stick out his tongue and began to say with a grimace: "The diary records a total of three kinds of giant thorn demon trees, distinguished by color, brown is the least dangerous, green is medium, and purple is the most dangerous.

Their leaves are specially shaped into sharp jaw-like shapes, and the impact is powerful. If it is far away from the target, it will spray corrosive acid, which will cause a reaction similar to severe poisoning if it comes into contact with the skin.

Just like other plants, the best way to deal with them is with fire or a heavy weapon like an axe. In view of their origin, the sword oil of cursed creatures can also be used to deal with them..."
