Chapter 327 326. Giancardi Bank
After arriving at Brugg, it was time for Lan and Vesemir to separate.
Lan will go directly northwest from here and return to Arethusa College, in the two letters given to him by the college's messenger.
One is from Margarita and the other is from Berengar.
He was temporarily pulled by the academy to serve as a technical consultant for Valyrian Steel. His opinions will greatly affect the commercialization process of Valyrian Steel.
He was very grateful to Lan En for giving him the shares. He himself had never understood such things as 'commercialization' or 'commercialization'.
With this technology in his hands, it would be good if it could become a signature product of a blacksmith shop.
Lan En has now given him half of his gold mountain.
"Unfortunately, I can't take you to Kaer Morhen now. The winter in Kaedwen is very cold, and Kaer Morhen will be snowed every winter. Going in now is purely seeking sin. Accept it."
When they parted, Vesemir said with regret.
"How about I give you a map? No, that's not possible. Kaer Morhen is in a very remote location, and a simple map won't help much."
Lan is not a pity, this time he didn't Finding a way to enter Kaer Morhen was something he had expected.
After all, even if there is no trouble from Brugg to Kaedwen, the distance alone is enough to take a month or two.
The lady in the lake didn’t have that much time to remind him.
“Don’t worry Vesemir, I will let Berengar lead the way when I go to Kaer Morhen. You only need to inform the remaining people of the Wolf Faction. Don’t think of me as entering the castle. The thief and robber is a good person. Do you remember that guy? He said he has been out for a long time."
"Berengar?"
When Lan told Vesemir that he was recommended to study in the Wolf Faction, he did not go into details because he was being led by Brain on the road at the time. At least Berengar's name was not mentioned.
The old demon hunter frowned slightly, his eyes digging into long-term memories as he moved. Then his brows opened and his mouth unconsciously opened into an 'O' shape.
“That kid is still alive?! Haha! I thought he died in some smelly ditch!”
After listening to Lan En’s introduction, this professional skill is quite lame. After the experience of being a wolf sect demon hunter, Vesemir did not get angry.
He has experienced too many things in his life. A demon hunter who was scared of work went to work as a laborer to make money. This was neither exaggerated nor bizarre in his eyes.
It’s even easy to understand.
“I could tell when he was in Kaer Morhen. He is not the kind of person who can accept the blade at all. Even if other people hate training, at least they will feel comfortable when swinging the sword. , but only Belengar hates training the whole time. This kind of mentality is not good for training. I thought he would die in one of the missions, but now it seems that he is not bad as a laborer. "< br>
Vesemir laughed heartily.
“Let him bring you here, Lan En. I promise that no matter who is left in the castle, you will be treated as companions of the Wolf Faction. If we are not here, let him greet you. You do your best to be a landlord.”
Lan En looked at the old demon hunter who had been silent since Geralt left and chuckled.
“That’s a castle, and it also has the materials and knowledge of the witcher. You are so generous, Vesemir.”
“Things are for people. How many more can you give me? I think the value of using these old items as a witcher is much worse than leaving them alone."
"I'll say this first: I'm sorry, Vesemir."
< br>"Goodbye, kid. I hope that when you get to Kaer Morhen, I will be there free. I have a bottle of a good vintage, and we can open it together then."
——
When Vesemir left Brugg, he had a military-grade hand crossbow on his back.
That was the old demon hunter's adaptation to the new era. If it feels good to use it, he is also prepared to add it to the wolf faction's combat procedures.
And with the recognition of the old witcher and the open knowledge of Kaer Morhen, the young witcher also embarked on the road back to Temeria.
The return journey is much duller than the journey here, because returning to Willen from Brugg always involves walking close to Brok Leon.
Lan En estimated that his reputation among the dryads could not be called "friendly", but should be considered "acquaintance" anyway.
So he can walk less and move faster than other merchants and vendors who dare not walk close to the forest.
When he saw the golden rooster-shaped weathervane on Goss Velen City Hall again, the salty cold wind of the sea was making everyone on the street wrap up their clothes tightly.
Also lower your head as much as possible and cover the gap in front of your neck with your chin.
The city gate guards who used to talk behind Lan En's back and count the city entrance tax carefully were now mostly languid and huddled against their workstations.
Only when there was a noise in the cash box did I look up.
Lan En walked along Caddo Street towards the depths of the city without any surprise. On the way, he passed by Giancardi Bank, a dwarf bank in the city of Goth Velen.
The dwarves have made great achievements in the banking industry, and they accurately discovered Goth Velen's rich warlock resources.
The holders of these supernatural powers are often never short of money because they can achieve technical effects that transcend the times.
The banking industry really likes this kind of customers, so even within the dwarf banking industry, Giancardi Bank is a big and well-known bank.
Unfortunately today, Giancadi Bank seems to be doing some big business.
The thick wooden door of the bank, which was originally crowded with people, was now like a viewing platform, with many people surrounding it.
Most of them wore silk tights, puff sleeves, and ornately decorated wide-brimmed cloth hats tilted to their heads.
Lane had seen this kind of people when he first arrived in Goth Velen - they were all powerful businessmen.
And these businessmen, who usually need a special rest room in the bank, were standing at the door of the bank in the cold sea breeze. Some of them were sneezing and had runny noses, but no one showed any dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, he looked excited and impatient.
To put it bluntly, Lan En felt that they were a bit like dogs waiting to be smashed with meat and bones.
New loan business? Or some financial product?
The young man thought casually.
The financial methods of the dwarves are far ahead, which has led to the financial concepts of the entire world being far ahead.
For example, in Novigrad, Vivaldi Bank has been trading futures for a long time.
The fact that they can do such a big deal in the north, which rejects inhuman races, shows that they have crushed human financial experts.
In the Nilfgaard Empire in the south, I heard that the power of the merchant unions can even make the emperor bow his head and compromise, formulate tariff policies specifically for them, and even make war strategies concessions for them.
Money.
Money has always been one of the most powerful forces in many worlds.
Even wealthy people who consider themselves to be of high quality will still whisper like flies after they swarm.
These voices are full of desire and excitement, and the cold sea breeze has no lethality in the face of this fiery atmosphere.
Lan En was riding a Poppy, preparing to pass by the edge of the crowd.
It’s not that he wants to join in the fun, it’s actually these businessmen who are almost blocking the road.
But when he was about to walk past the court...
"Lan En?! Is it Lan En?"
A surprised female voice came out from the crowd.
Then she struggled to push aside the crowd blocking the way, and walked all the way to Poppai through waves.
It’s Felicia, the apprentice who works in the crystal cultivation project team.
By the way, this apprentice is also good at barbering.
On horseback, Lan En stared blankly at the sorceress apprentice who looked up and down after the surprise, and then suddenly frowned.
She seemed to have made a sudden decision.
“We still have time!”
She took out a razor from her purse.
"Come down quickly, Lan En. I'll tidy it up for you, and then you can go on stage to sign!"
When Felicia recalled it in the future, she expressed that she liked Lan En's words at that time.
——“Huh?”
