The Witcher: Darkness Falls

“But these are not things I should care about. Besides, if there are more monsters, my life will be better.” Leon thought selfishly.

At this moment, Lyon did not realize that he had been involved in a conspiracy of unprecedented scale.

The thread of fate has entangled him tightly, and he cannot avoid it whether he wants to or not.

But that's a matter for later.

The next morning, Lyon set out on horseback and arrived at the Earl of Grampian's castle before sunset.

Half an hour later, a large group of soldiers left Grampian Castle.

Residents of Grampian City have not seen such a scene for a long time.

Hundreds of fully armed soldiers, full of momentum.

Everyone was talking about it, and some speculated whether it was an invasion by goblins.

After all, the Earl of Grampian had already issued a bounty on the goblins.

Although many hunters have made a lot of money by hunting the goblins' heads, according to the information they have leaked, the goblins have begun to become rampant and they cannot be killed by bounty hunters and ordinary hunters alone.

This army might be going to hunt the goblins.

Some came to watch the fun, while others wanted to get some benefits and take advantage of the army. These people followed the army.

However, to the surprise of these people, after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the army did not leave the city, but came to a manor in the north of the city.

The gate of the manor was opened, and many ordinary people with pious expressions came in and out.

When the servants in the manor saw the soldiers arriving, they immediately rushed into the manor.

The soldiers then rushed in with their weapons drawn, sealing off the entire estate.

The people in the manor were in a panic, not knowing what was going on.

But soon, some soldiers rushed into the manor to search, but found nothing.

The general leading this group of soldiers had no choice but to let them wait where they were, and he himself rode back to the Earl of Grampian's castle at full speed.

……

"He's running really fast... cough cough cough!!" After hearing the report from his men, Earl Grampian waved his hand and asked the generals to retreat. "Issue a wanted order in the Grampian area. Kill without mercy. Anyone who harbors him will be imprisoned."

The commander retreated, and Lyon stood aside in silence, admiring the Earl of Grampian's decisiveness.

Before getting accurate information, they had already arranged undercover agents around these missionaries to keep track of their movements at any time.

After receiving accurate information, he immediately ordered the arrest of missionaries, even at the risk of killing them directly.

However, Lord Grampian still underestimated the abilities of these missionaries.

The other party knows magic, and it is not ordinary magic, unless he can set up a magic circle around the manor to interfere with the teleportation array, or directly place magic-blocking gold.

Otherwise, no matter how strict the defense is, as long as you don't keep a close eye on them, the enemy will be able to use the teleportation array to escape.

However, none of this has anything to do with him anymore.

"You did a good job, witcher, your mission is accomplished... cough cough cough! Completed!" Earl Grampian announced while sitting in a chair.

He waved his hand, and a servant came forward with a money bag on a tray.

"Okay, you can go." Earl Grampian stood up and walked towards the back of the indoor hall.

Leon took the purse and opened it, and was a little surprised.

"Gold coins!" He was a little surprised.

This bag of gold coins was quite a lot. He weighed it and estimated that if converted into florins, it would be at least five thousand!

This is a huge sum of money!

Lyon left the Earl of Grampian's castle and came to the Dwarf Bank, where he planned to deposit the gold coins he had.

For this world, money is not as safe anywhere as in a dwarven bank.

When it comes to money, the credibility of the dwarves is still very guaranteed, and the Dwarf Bank is personally guaranteed by the great elder of Mahakam, which is a gamble on the reputation of the entire dwarf people.

What's more important is that Dwarf Banks are spread all over the continent. You can deposit and withdraw money at any Dwarf Bank in any region at any time with your bank card or passbook.

Dwarf Bank also thoughtfully provides currency exchange services to ensure that you can spend your money smoothly anywhere.

Moreover, money deposited in the Dwarf Bank will generate interest every month, which is a good investment for many people.

Of course, they will charge a 0.5% handling fee during deposit and withdrawal.

At present, there were many well-dressed businessmen handling business in the Dwarf Galaxy. Leon waited for a while before a human girl came to receive him.

"Please wait a moment. Our staff needs to check the weight of the gold coin first. If there is no problem, according to the current exchange rate of 12.11:1 of florin to gold coin, you can probably exchange 6055 florins." The girl said with a smile as she looked at Leon in surprise.

Leon frowned and asked, "Has the exchange rate increased? I remember it was 10.27 before?"

When he left Dan Rowan, he deposited the extra money he had with him into the Dwarf Bank and only exchanged it for more than 300 gold coins.

And now, the florin seems to have depreciated.

The girl said cheerfully, "It's like this. The Grampian area has been in turmoil recently, and many people have moved away from here. As a result, the florin has depreciated accordingly."

Backstage, an old dwarf came forward, nodded to the girl and said, "No problem."

The girl asked with a smile: "Do you want to deposit the gold coins directly or exchange them for florins? I suggest you deposit the gold coins directly. Maybe the gold coins will be more valuable in the future."

Leon nodded slightly and said, “Then please help me deposit the gold coins.”

Leon handed over the bank card and passbook.

This is a very special hard card, and he has no idea what material it is made of.

It is engraved with a relief of Leon's face, the place where the bank card was made - Dan Rowan, and the words "314 gold coins".

The former is the real-name authentication logo, and the latter is the balance inside.

There are two types of dwarf bank cards and passbooks, one is real-name authenticated and the other is anonymous.

The advantage of real-name authentication is that even if your bank card or passbook is lost, other people will not be able to withdraw the money if they find it.

The downside is that you can only withdraw the money in person and cannot have someone else do it for you.

Anonymous bank cards are the opposite. Whoever picks it up can withdraw money without any restrictions.

Lyon's bank card was issued in Danrovan, and it was Jelaka who took him there.

He didn't have any spare money to deposit in the bank before, and Dan Rowan made a lot of money. If he carried it all with him, it would be troublesome if he lost it.

After all, his job had never been safe.

This bank card is made of a special material that is waterproof, fire-resistant and corrosion-resistant. It is the patent of the Dwarf Bank and other dwarves cannot make it.

This bank card alone costs twenty florins, which is very expensive. Fortunately, with the help of Jeraka, I was able to save twenty florins.

Of course, you don’t have to have a bank card. A passbook is free. It’s just ordinary paper with the Dwarf Bank’s anti-counterfeiting seal.

But there is no sense of security.

Leon waited in the Dwarf Bank for a while. After about ten minutes, his old lover came out with a new card and passbook.

"Hello, please keep your things safe. Thank you for choosing Dwarf Bank. Dwarf Bank is always at your service." The girl said with a smile.

Leon took a look and saw a balance of "811.5 gold coins" and a handling fee of 2.5 gold coins, which would translate to 30 florins.

How expensive!

Leon felt a little sad, but when he saw the number on the bank card, he became happy again.

He has never had so much money in his life!

After leaving the Dwarf Bank, Lyon stayed in Grampian City for one night and rode back to Loch Grim the next day.

There he planned to take a boat across the Alba River, enter Aetolia, and then head north.

First go to Toussaint and fulfill the agreement with the witch Fringilla, then go to Mahakam to deliver the letter, and then go north to Kaer Morhen.
