Chapter 1010: 992 Dudu’s family accident

Chapter 1010 992. Dudu’s family accident

???Many people in the Kingfisher Tavern started drinking in the afternoon.

??If you are in a village or a small city, there will not be many such people. After all, most people still have to work.

?But in Novigrad, they can already share a table in the tavern and have fun.

??Someone in the tavern was shouting about a certain horse racing competition, and there was also a fist of anger competition that seemed familiar to Lan En. Businessmen discussing business and knowledge.

??Triss still didn’t wear a hat or wrap up her hair, which was completely different from ordinary women.

?This arrogance shows her identity as a sorceress.

Anyone with some knowledge in the tavern knows: this is a witch.

???If you are a superstitious person, you will be afraid to look away from Triss at this time, for fear that your eyes will be cursed if your eyes touch the witch.

?And people who know more about supernatural powers will not read more. Although sorceresses are generally charming, hot, and good-looking.

??But equally obvious as these characteristics are their unstable tempers and extreme self-centeredness.

?They would rather find an ordinary female companion who is not so beautiful, rather than endure this kind of psychological torture.

?But ordinary people would probably think it was blood of something.

?The house in front of the two of them is very conspicuous.

?Although this area is a rich area, it is not physically separated from the area where poor people live.

?Of course, from Lan En’s perspective

?‘Always in a weak position in intimate relationships’?

?What this sentence means, he really doesn't understand.

It seems that the wealthy people living here cannot stop this water use, but they can at least keep their houses clean and tidy.

??Opening the door is the Patriarch's Square. Walking out of the square, you will see that the three-story buildings in Novigrad are closely spaced, making the road look cramped.

Sometimes a string of pennants is hung between two small buildings on both sides of the street.

?The bite machine is made of pure steel, with the remnants of magic still on it.

?But except for those young warriors who do not believe in evil and want to try something new, few men are willing to establish a stable and intimate relationship with a sorceress.

?“The door is locked.”

?Most of them are one-night stands that satisfy physiological needs.

?“Yes, you’re almost on your way, Triss.”

?While in fact

"I think Dandelion only needs to give us a street number, and the house number doesn't matter at all."

Lan En nodded indifferently and walked out of the Kingfisher Tavern with the sorceress.

??Triss walking in front of Lan En was like a happy girl. Magic not only extended her lifespan and beauty, but also gave her room to always be optimistic and lively.

This should be considered a wealthy area of ??Novigrad. Not only are the windows of every house made of high-quality, color-free, and bubble-free glass, but even the wooden doors are neatly cut and decorated with patterned iron frames. The kind that are stapled together.

?So over time, although the charm of sorceresses has not diminished at all, it has even become more and more prosperous with the development and changes of fashion trends such as clothing and cosmetics.

?It would be easier to break the lock than to split the entire wooden door into pieces.

?When the door opened inward without any obstruction, Triss saw the structure of the door bolt inside.

?But in the face of Lan En's muscular strength, there is no difference between the two.

?Lann stood on the street, complaining to the sorceress beside him.

In an intimate relationship, the female partner is completely self-centered, does not consider the feelings of the male partner, and also has an overwhelming dominant position in the relationship. For most men, this kind of psychological pain is even overwhelmed by physical pleasure. Can't live.

?Hence, sorceresses have always been kept at a distance even among the lower third-level topics that men talk freely about.

? ?The bolt part of the door was directly pushed out by him with a short and strong force, making a gap as big as the palm of his hand, while other parts of the door panel only shook slightly, not even a crack.

Lan En stood in front of the door with his tall body, holding the door bolt with his palm.

?Huge power is precisely controlled.

?It is not uncommon for ordinary men to be favored by sorceresses and maintain close relationships.

?Muddy water overflowed from the cracks in the stone bricks.

??Triss stepped forward and pushed it. The paint on the door had long dried and the lock was still intact.

?The originally neat and clean stone bricks beside the fountain have become dirty and muddy due to repeated spills in the water.

??The sight of those in the tavern who were attracted by the enchanting beauty but quickly looked away in panic did not affect her mood at all.

?“Let me think about it.”

?Following that, the light red fighting spirit on his hand flashed, and there was a clean, muffled sound of "bang".

?The methods used by gangs to collect debts seem to vary widely regardless of region.

??But in one of them, the door of the house was splashed with red liquid, and Lan En's witcher sense of smell told him that it was paint.

??Geralt probably couldn't open the [Sign of Alder] even if he was panting heavily.

?Dandelion had already told them about Dudu's residence on the way back to the city, so Lan and Triss didn't have much trouble finding it.

But generally these men will fall into a kind of psychological pain after showing a kind of "happiness squeezed out by the night devil" in the first few days.

“Should we go to Dudu’s house now? You witchers always have to visit the place when you’re working, right?”

There is a small fountain in the open space in the middle of the house. Many poor residents in the city come here to use the ornamental fountain as well water for the convenience of water.

?There is no lock that cannot be broken, it just depends on the size of the movement.

?Just because breaking into a door requires concealment and not attracting attention most of the time, 'breaking in' is a technical job.

??But when the Nilfgaardians massacred Cintra, couldn't even the city gates be broken open with ballistas and trebuchets?

?Lan and Triss walked in calmly.

“There’s a light red light coming from the hand? Rita didn’t tell me about this, the witcher’s new trick?”

??Triss looked at Lan En teasingly.

?The young witcher was unimpressed. "It's just a technology from another world. It has nothing to do with magic, but to do with the body. Rita hasn't seen me use it either."

“So what you’re saying is,” Triss’s eyes lit up, “I know you better than Rita?”

?Lan En did not speak anymore. He underestimated the competitive mentality among the sorceresses.

?This is a structure whose interior decoration is very similar to Triss's villa.

?Three floors, except for the walls, the floors and stairs are all wooden structures.

Bookcases containing books and cabinets with dried fruit plates and wine bottles are placed against the wall, so that the whole room does not look empty.

?Other than a little dust, Dudu didn’t seem to be hysterical or panicked about his business going bankrupt.

?There is no trace of anger in anything in this house, it's just that no one has lived in it for a while.

“Most people who suddenly go bankrupt due to man-made accidents don’t have this kind of self-cultivation.”

?Lan En walked to the cupboard, picked up the wine bottle on top, unscrewed the glass lid and smelled it, then looked at the dried fruit plate next to the wine bottle.

??If this was a businessman who was going bankrupt normally, this bottle would have been smashed to pieces on the wooden floor.

“Livia cherry wine has a soft taste and he quite enjoys it.”

There was a sharp sound of glass rubbing, and Lan En screwed the bottle cap back on.

"There's nothing surprising." Triss also walked around the room and observed. "Although she is a shape-shifter, isn't it just for enjoyment when she earns money? Shape-shifters also know how to live."

“Unfortunately, the seal was not tight when Dudu left. Now the alcohol has evaporated so much that it’s no longer possible to drink it.”

?Lann smiled at Triss's words.

“According to the degree of alcohol evaporation, the dried fruits were dried and hardened for two days? Did he come back during his escape from debt?”

Lan En, who entered the state of investigation, showed a common occupational disease among witchers.

?He began to investigate and whispered to himself about his findings.

??After determining the target’s recent activity time, Lan began to turn on his witcher senses.

?Suddenly, a bright red footprint was highlighted on the originally empty floor.

? Mentos marked the approximate data based on the footprint information after the first glance.

“The height is in line with the characteristics of a halfling, but the steps are heavy and thick. He is wearing boots instead of naked long hairy feet, which looks like the footsteps of a dwarf.”

?Lan squatted down and rubbed his gloved fingers across the wooden floor, making a 'scraping' sound.

??Triss also came over, but unfortunately she didn’t have the discernment, so she could only follow Lan En’s words and analyze.

?“For a shape-shifter, there is no need to doubt what he will become.”

“That’s true.” Lan En’s eyes followed the footsteps and went up the stairs.

“Let’s see, Dudu changed his appearance and came back because he wanted to get something.”

?? Lan En's two hands under the cloak subconsciously patted each other, knocked off the dust on the floor, and was about to go upstairs.

?But just as he lifted his feet, before he landed on the first step, he stopped.

??The hooded head turned back, Triss didn't know why.

?But a few seconds later “Bang!”

??The door that was originally ajar was kicked open.

?Four or five figures swaggered into the house from the door.

?Most of these people only wore a small leather vest on their upper body, with their arms open, and their arms and chests were covered with cheap tattoos of poor craftsmanship.

?Lan En even saw a few strings of magic runes, but they only had an appearance and no technical content inside.

?Perhaps this person feels that magic can give him strength.

?“Heh~te.”

??The leader wore a small cloth cap on his head. He snorted twice as soon as he entered the door, tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of green mucus and thick phlegm.

?At the same time, his eyes glanced up and down at Lan En and Triss fiercely.

?“Look, look at this wonderful day!”

??He spoke with a slight stutter, grinning his yellowed teeth, and took the lead to approach the two of them, leaving the position so that the followers could also pour into the room.

Although Dudu’s house occupies a large area, it suddenly became crowded after removing the furniture and squeezing in so many people.

“The famous Dudu, Dudu, Bibwit didn’t wait, but two strangers came.”

“Think about it, you know it, you are the errand boy who came here looking for something! What do you want to take? Money? Jewelry? Stocks?”

“Whatever it is! Now! Take us to get it!”

? Lan En and Triss looked at each other and easily understood the situation.

?The gangsters have been waiting outside Dudu’s house, and they will not give up their ‘arrears’.

?The problem is that Lan En is very sure that there were no such people around before he came in.

How did they know so quickly that someone was coming to Dudu’s house and then come to find him?

?This whole thing didn’t even last five minutes.

?Under the hood, Lan En's nose twitched slightly.

?He asked tentatively.

"Please let me confirm, good sir. Is that beggar at the door one of yours?"

?The moment after these words were spoken, Lan En noticed that the eyes of the gangsters in front of him changed.
