Chapter 54:
Although the dwarf blacksmith failed to use Gwent to collect some wool from Revaden, which made Wayne a little regretful, under his influence, Geralt's card skills were not what they used to be.
Coupled with a Gwent deck of cards that he kindly sponsored, Bai Lang has become a master of Gwent.
The two of them played back and forth for seven or eight games, until the food they served was almost cold, and the two of them stopped with some lingering interest.
Geralt had better luck and won Revaden a dozen Orens and a relatively common card, which made Revaden a little frustrated.
Of course, he didn't care about the small amount of money, but he felt a little regretful that he couldn't get a fortune from Geralt, Wayne's companion.
After lunch, the fat rich businessman wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, smacked his mouth, and said with emotion:
"Alas! Since the last time I ate the bear paws cooked by Mr. Wayne, these rough foods now, I It feels hard to swallow."
"I just don't know when I will have the opportunity to taste such delicious food again."
Wayne chuckled, of course he knew that Revarden was not as greedy as he said. However, as a big businessman, this guy was quite powerful in Vizima. More than ten years later, he even became the financial backer of Princess Yadan.
Wayne didn't mind, being on good terms with a guy like that.
So, he said with a smile:
"You don't need to wait long, Mr. Revaden. In a few days, after I move to a new home, I will invite my friends to hold a celebration dinner at my house." "I sincerely invite you
. , to participate in this celebration, I will be the chef myself and carefully prepare a table of delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Rewarden showed a surprised smile.
"That's great, Wayne. I will definitely go to the banquet on time. I really look forward to that day coming soon."
I have to say that Rewarden's expression was so natural and sincere. If Wayne didn't know his true identity, Maybe many people will be deceived by him.
For example, with Geralt, Wayne could feel that although Geralt did not yet regard Revarden as a friend, he must have some affection for this generous and kind businessman.
After some socializing, the three finally began to talk about the commission.
Rewarden's commission was actually not a trouble. This guy spent a lot of money from the city hall to buy a large forest on the outskirts of Vizima City and planned to build a large lumber camp there.
However, an industry like this that develops primeval forests will always encounter a variety of wild monsters in the forest.
According to Rewarden, during this period, three loggers have been injured, and other workers cannot work well, which has affected the efficiency of their work.
Therefore, he wanted to hire a witcher to help him clean up the monsters in the forest and ensure the normal operation of the lumberyard.
After some conversation, Wayne discovered that this was a long-term and quite leisurely job. He only joined it when there were monsters. When he had nothing to do, he could fish. There was also a fixed salary every week. For a witcher, it was simply a job. Too bad.
Wayne and Geralt discussed it and decided to accept this commission.
However, a lumber camp does not require two demon hunters to guard it. Two of them will take turns to be on duty in the lumber camp, while the other one stays in Vizima to handle the commissions in the city.
After discussing the entrustment, Wayne asked Revaden one more thing.
"Mr. Revarden, you have many friends and connections in Vizima City. Can you introduce me to a highly skilled blacksmith? I would like to ask him to help me build a piece of equipment." Revarden paused after hearing this
. , he raised his head and glanced at Wayne, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he said:
"You are really lucky, Mr. Wayne. I even doubt whether the goddess of luck is really looking after you."
"Just last month, I recruited a group of dwarf lumberjacks. The foreman's father, Mr. O'Hunter, is a highly skilled dwarf blacksmith. It is said that he is also a quite famous weapon master among the dwarves of Carbon Mountain in Mahakam. ." "I just met him yesterday. I had a drink with him and got to know him a little bit."
Having said this, the fat businessman pondered for a few seconds, tapped the table with his index finger wearing a gem ring, and said:
" But you also know that most dwarves have weird personalities. Master Ohunter is not short of money. If you want him to forge a weapon for you, I don’t know if he is willing." "I can write to you
. A letter of introduction, but the rest can only be solved by yourself."
Wayne was quite satisfied with the answer. He nodded and sincerely thanked him:
"Thank you, Mr. Revarden."
After leaving the Kingfisher Hotel, the two set off back to the Fox Tavern. Geralt asked with interest:
"Wayne, are you looking for a dwarf blacksmith to build any equipment?"
Wayne tilted his head and glanced at Geralt. He patted the steel sword on his waist and said:
"You should be able to guess that I only have a steel sword now and no silver sword. I have to borrow your silver sword every time I fight. In case of emergency, then Isn't it dangerous?"
Geralt nodded, but asked in surprise:
"Have you saved enough money? My master-level silver sword was made in Novigrad. It cost almost I have one thousand kronor, but I have been saving for two years before I can save that much money."
In fact, Wayne has a hard time explaining this problem. Recently, he has to buy a new house and forge silver. Sword, these two expenditures are not small amounts. He and Geralt have been staying together, and there is no good excuse for the origin of this money.
So, Wayne could only say vaguely:
"The last time I defeated the Wild Dog Gang, I made a small fortune there."
"Although it's not enough to pay these two fees, I will find a way when the time comes."
Geralt saw this and didn't ask any more questions, but patted Wayne on the shoulder.
He only had enough money to spend. After going to the Queen of the Night Club last time, he had already spent a lot of money, and there was no extra money to lend to Wayne.
After returning to the Fox Tavern, before Geralt could even sit down, Dandelion ran over again. He winked and said a few words in Geralt's ear, and the two of them walked out again, arm in arm. .
Wayne probably guessed what the two of them wanted to do, and they probably wanted to save those women who were living in poverty.
Since Wayne rejected their invitations several times, they no longer invite him to come with them when they go to such places.
Wayne was not even interested in these vulgar fans. It happened that Geralt was not around in the afternoon, so he could relax and prepare to open another wave of treasure chests.
Next, whether it is to forge a silver sword or buy a house, a large amount of money will be needed. The total he has now is less than one thousand oren. It is estimated that he must prepare at least three thousand oren to spend on these two things. pin.
After saying hello to Old York who was standing behind the counter, Wayne was about to go upstairs to open the box when Old York suddenly said: "
Hey! Little bastard, I've sold out all your stuff. Remember to come to me to get the money." "
When Wayne heard this, he looked back at Old York and couldn't help but sigh. A local gangster is a local gangster. In less than a week, all the stolen goods were disposed of.
He is in need of money right now, so it's a timely help.
He thanked Old York for a few words, but Old York did not appreciate it. Instead, he snorted and said,
"Huh! It will be your mother's death anniversary soon. Remember to donate a sum of money to the Melitea Church and worship her well. Call your mother."
"No matter what, if she hadn't insisted on sending you to be a witcher, you might have died long ago."
(Thank you to the two big guys for the reward today, and thank you all for your support. PS: Your names are all numbers and cannot be copied. I am too lazy to write them down. Mmm!) (End of this chapter
