Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 327 326.Giancadi Bank

After arriving in Brugg, it was time for Lan and Vesemir to separate.

Lan En will go directly northwest from here, returning to Aretuza College, where he will find two letters from the college's courier.

One was from Margarita, the other from Berengar.

He was temporarily pulled by the academy to serve as a technical consultant for Valyrian Steel, and 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 now simply gave him half of his gold mountain.

"It's a pity that 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 just asking for trouble."

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 En didn't feel too sorry. He had long expected that he would not be able to enter Kaer Morhen this time.

After all, the journey from Brugg to Kaedwen, even if there was no trouble, would be enough to take a month or two.

The lady in the lake did not give him enough 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. Just don't treat me as a thief and robber who entered the castle." Do you still 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 elaborate on it because he was being led by Brain in the forest at that time, at least he did not mention Berengar's name.

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 about the experience of this wolf-sect demon hunter with poor professional skills, 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 others hate training, they at least feel comfortable when swinging the sword, but only Belian Gar hates training the whole time. This kind of mentality is not good for training. I thought he died in one of the missions, but now it seems that being a laborer is not bad."

Vesemir laughed heartily.

"Let him bring you here, Lan En. I promise that no matter who is left in the castle by then, you will be treated as companions of the Wolf Faction. If we are not here, let him greet you and show the friendship of the 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 supplies and knowledge of a witcher. You are so generous, Vesemir."

"Things are for people to use. If a few more demon hunters can use these old objects, I think they will be worth a lot more than leaving them with bad value."

"Then let me say this first: I'm welcome. Goodbye, Vesemir."

"Goodbye, kid. I hope I'll be there when you get to Kaer Morhen. 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 smoother 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.

As a result, he was able to walk less and move faster than other traveling merchants and vendors who did not dare to walk close to the forest.

When he saw the golden rooster-shaped weathervane on Goss Velen City Hall again, the salty cold wind from the sea was making everyone on the street wrap up their clothes tightly.

He even lowered his head as much as possible and covered the gap in front of his neck with his chin.

The city gate guards who used to talk behind Lan En's back and even 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 was not surprised and walked along Caddo Street towards the depths of the city.

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 correctly 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.

Today, by coincidence, Giancardi Bank seems to be doing some big business.

The thick wooden door of the bank, where people used to come and go, 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 on their heads.

Lann 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.

Instead, 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.

In Novigrad, for example, Vivaldi Bank has been trading futures for a long time.

Being able to do such a big deal in the north, which rejects non-human 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 pride themselves on being of high quality will still hear whispers like a swarm of flies after they swarm.

These voices were full of desire and excitement, and the cold sea breeze had no power at all in the face of this fiery atmosphere.

Lan En was riding Poppy, preparing to pass by the edge of the crowd.

It's not that he wanted to join in the fun, it was actually these businessmen who were 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 from the crowd.

Then she struggled to push aside the crowd blocking her 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.

Lan En stared blankly at the sorceress apprentice on horseback 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 a little for you, and then you can go on stage to sign!"

When Felicia recalled it later, she expressed that she liked what Lan En said at that time.

--"ah?"
