Chapter 1001 983. Is there anything else about you?
Dandelion undoubtedly did not notice that there was something 'slightly' wrong in the expressions of the two friends behind him.
The poet walked into the tavern with brisk steps before Geralt pulled the hem of his doublet in a subtle way.
"Hello! I wish you a happy mood and good health!" Dandelion said loudly, walking into the wooden door, the lute played a loud tone, and the strings danced happily under his thumbs.
“I, Master Dandelion, the most famous poet in the land, have come to your humble shop, tavernkeeper! He wants a drink! Can you appreciate the gift I have given you? What an honor, you old miser?”
"It sounds like he knows the boss quite well." Lan En and Geralt could only follow behind, and the young man whispered to the white wolf. "Maybe things won't be too ugly?"
Geralt looked back at Lan En expressionlessly.
He could hear that the tone of the young man behind him was almost a beautiful fantasy in an embarrassing situation.
Commonly known as: dreaming.
"I fully appreciate this privilege, Master Dandelion."
The tavern owner leaned out lazily from behind the counter and spoke listlessly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master. I'm really happy to see that you can keep your promise. You did say that you would come to pay off the credit with us today, but I was blind and thought that you were following I'm really ashamed of myself for talking nonsense like before."
"Let this shame torture your heart, dear boss."
Dandelion seemed to be introducing an actor. Likewise, the other hand that was not holding the lute stretched back.
"Because of my two loyal friends, today will be woo-woo."
Finally, after his hope of luck was shattered and he was sure that things were slipping into an irreversible situation, Lan En stretched out his hand, grabbed Dandelion by the cherry red collar, and pulled Dandelion over.
The tall young man pressed the shoulders of the thirtysomething poet and lowered his voice.
"Actually, there is something I didn't tell you, dear Dandelion."
"Huh? Oh, it doesn't matter, Lan. I think everyone should have their own If you don’t want to share something with me, I won’t ask.”
“I agree with you in principle, but this matter must be ‘shared’.”
"I'll just tell you the truth." Geralt also quietly interjected into the conversation from the side.
He stared at Dandelion with a showman's eye, and then said: "Your plan to get this rich man to pay you back for the wine won't work, Dandelion. At least it won't work now. "
"Lan En is going bankrupt"
"WHAT!"
Dandelion exclaimed uncontrollably as if he had seen a demon. , his eyes widened as he looked at Lan En.
However, well-known actors, poets, and singers are still very valuable, especially in such emergencies.
Dandelion changed the subject and simply continued speaking with the uncontrollable loud voice just now.
“Oh, I really can’t take it! Guys!”
“Do you know what a good person this respected boss is? You can’t bear to make him feel ashamed Torture? I'm so ashamed of you!"
As if he had fallen out with Geralt and Lan, Dandelion walked to the counter with an expression of indignation.
"Please don't be ashamed of your misunderstanding just now, good man. I can come over and pay back the money at another time. That's it."
"But before paying off the credit, please give us an opening A box.”
Geralt reluctantly joined Lan, crossed Dandelion, took out a few Novigrad crown coins and slapped them on the counter.
If Lan En's assets are properly managed, he can return to the top and become rich.
He, a demon hunter who earned his hard-earned money, actually had to exchange money with Lan En to open a box. Of course, he felt sad.
The tavern owner looked at Dandelion and Geralt with suspicion.
But in the end, with the poet's eloquent words, he opened a private room for them in the tavern and served them the famous fried fish set meal.
Novigrad’s purchasing power is relatively strong.
Especially after the Civil War, this neutral free city has become even more valuable and a good place for assets on the mainland, so the exchange rate of krona to Oren has even appreciated recently.
“There are not many people in the tavern now, so we don’t need to open a private room.”
Geralt, who had paid, was still mumbling.
Dandelion and Lann have learned to turn a blind eye.
“It’s still too early for regular visitors to the ‘Spear Cave’. Workers are still repairing the temple, and the foreman has to follow. Come, try this fried fish, the essence is matching Pepper sauce.”
While introducing the tavern as a regular, Dandelion skillfully handled the fried fish set.
Freshly caught sea fish can be purchased from the fish market in Novigrad at low prices. After all, this place is close to the sea and the river.
The set meal also includes a bowl of tomato cream soup, wheat bread, and a bowl of sauerkraut.
Dandelion looked at Lan and asked while eating bread dipped in tomato cream soup.
"So you're really on the verge of bankruptcy?"
Even as his face twisted in the chewing action, he could see an incredible look.
“That’s the Valyrian Steel business! Didn’t you ask someone to deceive you? That’s so much money! You won’t be able to spend it all until you die!”
"Although I don't quite understand how profitable Valyrian steel is, when the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce offered prices to poets and singers for us to promote, the prices were really high."
"Every job I took on probably changed hands three or four times, and I took a lot of kickbacks. After I finished doing this, I was still allowed to eat for half a month." "Oh, then you can If you want to take over the job from the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce, you can tell me and I’ll give it to you.”
Lan En scratched his head and said with a smile, and then smiled a little. It became unspeakable.
“Of course, if the money is ‘spent’, it will definitely be endless, but if the endless money is invested in business, then it will be lost.”
Suddenly, Dandelion, who was stuffing fried fish into his mouth, looked at Lan En sympathetically.
He is very famous, and naturally he has come into contact with many nobles, big businessmen and so on.
In terms of ability, the children of these people are generally of average level.
If you live a "painful" life without any trouble, such as spending money steadily, eating and waiting for death, you will most likely be able to live several lifetimes.
But people are strange creatures. After they have no worries about food and drink, and after they are tired of many entertainment projects, they will always pursue self-realization.
So the business started, and soon after, the money that could have been spent safely for several lifetimes was wiped out by the market, and even went into debt.
Flannel Ball jumped up on the chair lightly, patted his boss's shoulder with comfort and seriousness in his eyes, and at the same time pushed his fried fish set next to Lan En.
"Don't be afraid of cats! Boss! I can go fishing after dinner! We can also work together to make money, cats!"
Lan En quickly pushed the velvet ball set back to the kitten.
“No, flannel ball, it’s really not possible!”
Lan En patted the calico kitten on the head and sat it down on the chair again.
“So, that’s what happened.”
Lan scratched his head and explained his current situation clearly to Dandelion.
So Dandelion let go after hearing this.
If Lan En was really bankrupt, he would avoid everything related to this topic. But now, this guy just has a gap in capital flow, and it has been filled.
Is this fucking bankruptcy?
He and Geralt have a lot in common in this regard. In this situation, he can feel free to mock Lan En.
"I'm not talking about you, Lann."
Dandelion said earnestly to the young witcher across the table.
“You are still so young and so energetic. Why do you think of going bankrupt alone?”
"I know that you are living well in Arethusa. Those sorceresses look at you like a hungry wolf who sees flesh and bones, not to mention that you still have shares in Valyrian steel."
" But in this case, who should you rely on more?"
Dandelion looked at Geralt next to him mid-sentence as if asking for help.
“Margarita Laux Andrea,” Geralt said calmly. The two of them have been old friends for more than ten years, and they have a good understanding of each other. "Dean Aretuza."
"Yes! It is this noble lady."
Dandelion said indignantly.
“You have given your precious youth, so what’s wrong with accepting a little support?”
“Just like me, although I still rely on my art to live most of the time, But I won’t refuse the gifts that the ladies forcefully give me!”
Finally, the experienced Dan Master spoke with sincerity.
“You know me, I have a lot of masculinity. But one of the important rules of life is: don’t take things easy. Who hasn’t had difficult times?”
"Don't follow Geralt's example. I think it will take decades for him and Yennefer to be in trouble."
Geralt remained silent, but calmly put Dandelion's meal together. The bowl of sauerkraut in the bowl was pulled towards him.
“I feel that I have benefited a lot from your suggestions.”
Lan said to Dandelion, spreading his hands.
"But unfortunately, this suggestion comes too late. I have already taken it, and now I have to focus on reality and think of a solution."
"Is that why you came to Dudu?"
At this time, Dandelion understood why Lan En came to find that 'business-savvy shapeshifter'.
But while he was trying to figure it out, his expression became weird.
Lan observed the change in Dandelion's face, and he had a bad feeling.
"I guess. You have something to tell me?"
Geralt also looked up from his plate.
Dandelion chuckled, then fell silent again.
"That's right. How do you put it?"
"Dudu is about to go bankrupt and is avoiding debts now."
"Then I guess again." Lan En felt that he My eyelids started to twitch. "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Dandelion remained silent and almost buried his head in the soup bowl.
