Chapter 69: Let's Play a Tense and Exciting Round of Gwent
Although Vimme Vivaldi was already a member of Novigrad's upper class, he didn't put on any airs of superiority.
On the contrary, he spoke in a tone of an elder advising a younger person.
No pretense, no condescending superiority.
No wonder he could turn his family bank into the largest bank in Novigrad.
So, Lynn didn't turn around and leave, but replied politely.
"Lord Vimme, I am very grateful for your consideration, but such worries are actually unnecessary. Hasn't Elder Brokilon sent anyone to Novigrad recently?"
"Elder Brokilon? How do you know... wait a minute."
Vimme paused, then seemed to realize something.
His eyes instantly widened.
"You're the witcher who beautifully solved the problem in Mahakam?"
Lynn nodded. "Accurately speaking, it was solved by me and another witcher companion together. However, I believe the ghost in Novigrad is not as difficult to deal with as the one in the Mahakam mountains. I alone am enough."
Lynn really wasn't just saying that casually.
The distribution of monsters and evil spirits in the witcher world actually follows certain patterns.
Whether it's unintelligent monsters like leshens and spriggans, or intelligent creatures like higher vampires, they all try to avoid densely populated cities as much as possible.
It's not to say that there are definitely no monsters in cities.
Rather, the monsters in cities either live in the sewers like drowners, or they are vampires who disguise themselves as humans.
Powerful evil spirits would never run rampant in a city.
Because if they did, the people in the city would have fled long ago.
Besides, there's a high probability that house hauntings in the city are caused by lesser earth elementals.
If it really was a lesser earth elemental, then the reward for this contract would be as good as free money.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that it was indeed an evil spirit at work.
But even if it was a true evil spirit, it would definitely not be as powerful as a plague maiden.
Lynn was confident that he alone was definitely enough.
"I'll take this contract. I'll go take a look at the haunted house later, but Lord Vimme, if I may be so bold, how much reward are you planning to pay me?"
It was better to clarify some things beforehand, otherwise, if they weren't discussed in advance, conflicts would arise later.
Even the best of friends were the same.
"Like to get straight to the point? Ha, well, I don't dislike it either, young witcher. I need this house urgently. If you can really clear out the ghost, I can offer you this much."
Vimme held up two fingers. "Two hundred crowns, paid in cash, no delays, and no worthless promissory notes to fool you."
Two hundred crowns was a decent reward.
Very fair.
