Chapter 1420 1392. Giancardi Bank
During this time, Yennefer taught Ciri the basics of magic. In other words, she let her sorceress side show up to the girl.
There is no doubt that Xili's [Magic Source] identity is also destined to be an outstanding sorceress.
So it can almost be assumed that Yennefer is showing Ciri what she might become in the future.
Yennefer has a very strong character, even dictatorial.
But although Xili was rebellious and unconvinced, she was surprisingly not annoying.
Maybe it’s because she is gradually realizing that she may become ‘so cool’ in the future.
As Yennefer said, learning magic is a systematic and large project. She cannot teach it well by herself, nor can she teach it comprehensively.
But she at least taught Ciri what kind of people the sorceresses she might become in the future are like.
Be strong, independent, and contemptuous in the face of most rules in the world, and learn to respect the powerful.
Precisely because sorceresses are a group of strong women, they know better how to behave when facing stronger forces.
After graduation, apprentices in Aretusa need to find a mentor for an internship lasting several years.
During this process, if you find a mentor who is soft-spoken and easy to deal with, that means he or she has good character.
And if the instructor treats you like a servant, there is nothing to cause trouble.
No one paid attention to me because I was making trouble, which is normal.
If you can use various means to defeat the 'evil mentor', or coerce him into equal cooperation, that is news worth talking about in the warlock circle.
The sorcerers are beautifully dressed and appear to be polite and polite, which is just the shell of their group.
The Association of Talents and Skills and the Supreme Council of Warlocks seem to be fair and equitable organizational structures.
But in the final analysis - when this organization was established, wasn't it also based on the blood of opponents that it was completely established?
No one knows the meaning of ‘power’ better than them.
So under Yennefer's order, although Ciri was a little rebellious and disobeyed, she still obeyed everything.
"Okay, stop, we are here."
"Is this the academy you are talking about?" Xili looked up at the majestic front of the building and muttered, "Look at It’s not big.”
“Stop talking, get off your horse. This is not a college, this is a bank.”
“Then why are we here?”
"Think for yourself. Come down and don't step into the puddle! Look at me, Ciri. Straighten your hat, straighten your collar, and straighten your back. Yes, you should learn some manners now."
Yennefer directed the girl, who herself sighed.
The people who came out of the majestic gate were all dwarves. They rushed to bow and serve the sorceress and her 'little attendant'.
Yennefer walked into the bank without surprise, but Ciri was a little surprised.
It’s not like she’s never seen dwarves before, but she’s never seen one like them in Giancardi Bank. They were uniformly dressed, had neat beards, and were respectful. They were far different from the 'very individual' dwarfs she had seen before.
The effectiveness of Yennefer's magic cream has not faded. The moment she walked in, her magical beauty had already caused a commotion.
Another group of dwarves rushed over, wanting to serve her.
There was chaos inside the bank.
But Ciri and the sorceress discovered at the same time that this place was not peaceful even before they entered.
The height of humans allowed them to be at least Yennefer, able to see other places over the heads of the dwarves squeezing over.
The entire Giancardi's bank hall is now crowded with two groups of people, and the ones attracted by her sorceress's beauty are not even that many.
Among the most intense and noisy crowd of dwarves, a very tall figure stood abruptly.
The majestic body is already beyond the size of a normal human being. Even if he is wrapped in a large cloak, the perfect body proportions under the cloak can be highlighted.
Not to mention that directly exposed, beneath the molten silver hair, is a face that is even more magical than a sorceress.
Yennefer raised her eyebrows.
I only saw a bright red-bearded dwarf among the group of dwarves. He was pulling other dwarves, shaking his head and sighing as he pulled the tall figure towards the reception room behind the bank.
"Get out of the way! What's the matter with you? This is an internal conversation of our Valyrian Chamber of Commerce!"
The red-bearded dwarf's voice was loud, but he was not too angry. look.
Lan En did not dare to move too fast among a group of dwarf bank employees, as he was afraid of accidentally bumping into someone.
But as soon as he turned around, the young demon hunter's eyes lit up.
He also saw Yennefer who was surrounded at the same time.
The sorceress was the first to smile at him, and Lan En nodded in response.
The noise in the bank hall did not calm down until a fat dwarf with a white beard and luxurious clothes appeared.
"My dear Yennefer!" As soon as he came out, he went straight to the sorceress. He turned his head halfway and saw that Lan En was also surrounded by a group of dwarves. He quickly added something stumbling. . "Oh! Also, there is the distinguished Duke!"
"Today is really a surprise and honor for me!"
"You guys, don't just stand around! Go back to your work and settle your accounts! And don't surround the Duke! It's not time for you to get ahead!"
As always, this guy The dwarf has a loud voice, and a thick gold necklace hangs around his muscular neck. The necklace hangs down even longer than the white beard, and it is almost hanging on the belt.
It’s just that the footsteps that had just been directed towards the sorceress were hesitant and hesitant, with an unexpectedly polite smile on his face. "Yennefer, you must have something to see me about. Let's go to my office to talk. As for Duke Lann."
As he said that, he asked the man next to the witcher. The red-bearded dwarf winked.
"How about the first drawing room? Siledon, the schedule of the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce can be filled up in the first drawing room today."
Sileden Giancardi immediately understood that the sorceress estimated that I have some personal relationship with the bank.
"No problem, Uncle Molnar. Let's go, Lan."
Thileton said, leading the way forward. He knew that his friend and boss didn't care much about losing face, so he didn't think Lan En would be dissatisfied.
But the witcher did not keep up with Siloden, who had already walked for a while. He tilted his head with interest and looked at the girl who was a follower next to Yennefer.
The teasing smile made the girl turn her head and cover her face.
Yennefer was also looking at that smile, but she was greeting each other with the old dwarf.
"It's so nice to meet you, Yennefer. You look. Oh! Damn, you're breathtakingly beautiful!"
"The same for you, Molnar. Take care of yourself. Very good." Yennefer bent down and kissed each other's faces, and then said. "But I don't think it's worth the trouble."
"What?"
Before Molnar Giancardi understood what this meant, he saw the sorceress unabashedly showing a beautiful smile to Lan not far away.
"We are friends. Since we met here, what's the point of deliberately keeping us apart?"
At this time, Siledon also realized that Lan En had not followed, and turned to look back. He looked at the witcher with a subtle expression of 'I see.'
Lan En lowered his head and knew that the red-bearded dwarf must have thought wrongly, but he just rolled his eyes and walked towards Yennefer.
“You saved my life when we were on Mount Soudan.” After Lan En approached, Yennefer first brushed her hair, and then stretched out her hand, “But time is always unlucky. , I never had the chance to express my gratitude.”
The scent of cloves and currants is unique.
Lan stretched out his hand from under his cloak, revealing a corner of the majestic and powerful armor.
He looked at his gauntlet, but in the end he did not take it off, but directly held Yennefer's hand.
"No thanks." Lan En nodded towards her first, then turned a vague angle and glanced at Ciri with a smile, "But it's been a long time since we've seen each other. ”
He said meaningfully.
"Ahaha! We are all friends!"
The old dwarf smiled, although this made his rescue just now a bit embarrassing.
But a banker is a banker after all. He quickly got rid of his boring mood and started chatting openly.
"Sileden, is the Duke here to do business? Or...?"
"We actually have nothing serious to do, Uncle Molnar." The red-bearded dwarf shrugged, " Lan En just came here to talk about the operation of the Chamber of Commerce. Where is this Ms. Yennefer? If you want to discuss business, we can wait."
"No," Yennefer shook her head, "I also want to hear the latest news. You people in banks are always well-informed."
"In that case." The old dwarf with a white beard and a gold chain turned his head. He shouted, "Weifu! Bring my bottle of Neufburg red wine! Open it and send it to the office!"
As the old dwarf shouted, he had already moved his steps and led everyone towards him. 's office.
The office is a little dark, but the temperature is right. The smell of ink and parchment, as well as the smell of dust covering the oak furniture, fabrics and old books, makes people feel calm.
Mornar pulled out the armchair next to the desk for Yennefer, but he became worried when he looked at the witcher standing like a wall in the office.
"No, don't worry about me, friends." Lan En crossed his arms casually and leaned against the wall, looking very relaxed. "I don't expect there to be a chair suitable for me in Giancardi Bank."
He even made a joke, which made the old dwarf who had not had much contact with him relax a lot.
Sileden was very skilled. He pulled out the other armchair on his uncle's desk and motioned to Ciri.
But after Yennefer waved her hand and silently refused, he pulled out a bench for the girl and sat down on the armchair.
"Benefactor Lan is very good, uncle. You don't need to worry about him."
The red-bearded dwarf said cheerfully.
Ciri moved the bench given to her by Siledon, taking small steps, and finally sat next to Lan En's legs.
She raised the felt hat covering her hair, tilted her dark gray face up, and gave Lan En a silly smile.
Lan En was a little amused, and he managed to hold back his laughter with a 'puff'.
Ye Naifa's beautiful and hot figure stretched out on the armchair.
She looked at the interaction between Lan En and Xili, her eyes filled with unexplainable meaning.
“Since we are all friends who can get together in the same room”
Molnar sat at the end of the table with his hands crossed. Although he was speaking, he still looked at Yennefer with some uncertainty.
It wasn’t until Yennefer and Lan En, who understood what he meant, looked at each other again and nodded to each other that the dwarf banker breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, since you all think so, it seems that we can really talk to each other openly."
