The Witcher: Darkness Falls

The Black Crow Hotel was an inn that Leon came across after entering the town of Tegamo. It looked quite good from the outside, and he planned to use it as his temporary residence.

"Two florins a night is not expensive. Can I pay with dinars?" Lyon asked.

He still had about 30 dinars on him, which were the change from the merchant when he bought items before, and today's gains.

He needed to spend these before leaving Ebbing.

"Of course, but it costs 8 dinars a night." The owner of the Black Crow Inn was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a shrewd smile on his face.

Leon frowned slightly and said, "Why is it so expensive? This is almost 4 florins!"

The boss pushed up his glasses and explained with a smile: "Sir, we have long stopped using dinars here and have switched to florins.

This thing is not worth much, I could have refused it, but judging from your accent, you are from another place, right?

The 8 dinars I charge you is already very low, and I still need to find someone to exchange it for florins.

You have to know that 4 florins can indeed be exchanged for 8 dinars, but 8 dinars may not necessarily be exchanged for 4 florins.

What's more, I also include a breakfast here, including rye bread and a glass of fresh milk. Of course, do you want cheese? It only costs 1 more dinar.

How about it, is it cost-effective enough?

How about it? I have one room left, are you still staying here? "

Lyon had no choice but to pay the money. He gave 8 dinars, and he didn't need cheese or anything.

He did not hold out hope for the free breakfast offered by the Black Crow Inn, but his Aether Ring still contained the roasted venison from last night, which would be enough to last him for a while.

"Ask someone to prepare a bucket of hot water for me. I want to take a bath." Leon said.

The boss said with a smile: "Oh, of course, no problem! After a long journey, you need to take a hot bath. I also provide shaving and haircut services, as well as massage services. How about it? Do you need it?"

Leon touched his chin, his beard was unshaven.

During this period, he could only shave himself occasionally with a dagger, but there was no way to do that with his hair, which really needed some trimming.

"How much is the price?"

The boss rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "It's very cheap, a shave and a haircut, you only need to pay 10 dinars, or 3 florins.

As for massage services, it depends on your choice.

If it's regular, 5 florins will do the job.

If you want something special, you know, there are 20 florins or 60 denarii, 30 florins or 90 denarii. ”

After saying that, the boss winked at Leon, then raised his eyebrows and pointed to the girls drinking at the bar not far away.

Leon looked in the direction the other person pointed, and saw humans, half-elves, and even a halfling woman.

The boss recommended: "The halfling girl has very good skills. I highly recommend her! She only costs 25 florins or 70 dinars. How about it?"

Leon shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in halflings. How about the red-haired one? How much?"

"Also twenty-eight florins, or..."

Before the boss finished speaking, Leon had already thrown 25 florins over and said, "She's the one, and she also has a haircut and a shave. Give me the room key."

The boss grinned and said, “No problem, here you go, take the key, the hot water and the girl will be here soon!

Ron, come here and take the guest to room 206 on the second floor. Go quickly and prepare hot water for the guest!"

A thin young human hurriedly ran in front of Leon to lead the way.

Lyon slept comfortably, and left the Black Crow Inn early the next morning.

It turns out that one cannot have high hopes for the free food provided by the Black Crow Inn. The so-called fresh milk will definitely give you diarrhea for the whole day after drinking it!

But Lyon didn't care about that. He threw 1 dinar to his boss and told him that if anyone came to see him, he should say he was out and would be back in the evening.

The boss readily agreed to this kind of work, since it wouldn't waste much time anyway.

Leon came to the bulletin board and carefully looked at the tasks posted on it.

There are a lot of tasks here, some of which are dated as early as June last year. It seems that they have not been cleaned up for a long time.

But if you think about Baron Klein's condition carefully, he definitely won't be able to manage the tasks above, and his subordinates will definitely come and clean them up when they remember to, and just leave them alone if they don't remember.

Most of the above tasks are to help find people or things, and some are to help investigate things.

It seems that the task content is not complicated and the price is very low, which is normal.

Lyon planned to stay here for five days to see if Baron Crean would come to see him.

Leon felt that if the other party was not stupid, he would definitely come to him.

After all, with the strength of the Tegamo soldiers, it is impossible to deal with the goblins.

As a ruler, you must know yourself.

The decree of Nilfgaard has already been issued. If the goblins spread from his place, he might not be able to keep his barony, and he might even lose his life.

Professional matters must be left to professionals. If the other party comes to him, he can still make some money.

Of course, even if Baron Klein didn't look for him, he wouldn't suffer any loss, at most he would just waste a few days.

During this period, he did not intend to just wait. There were so many tasks, and he could earn twenty or thirty florins by completing a few of them.

In Nilfgaard, there were rarely so many quests on the bulletin board, because besides him, the witcher, there were other people, such as hunters, farmers, rogues and even soldiers competing with him for quests.

As long as it's not very professional, other people can do it, so the competition there is very fierce.

But it’s not like that here. This is the first time he has seen so many tasks.

“Looking for the lost children… There are twenty-one in total, and many of them are from the same village. It seems that these can be completed in one go. If added together, it will cost more than a hundred florins.

Moreover, the tasks were all released very recently, with the earliest being less than three months old and the most recent just four days old. They probably haven’t been completed yet, so it’s well worth a try.

I just don't know where these villages are. When I buy a horse later, I'll buy a map at the same time!"

Thinking of this, Lyon wrote down all the tasks above, and then went to a farmer to buy a horse that looked pretty good to use as a new means of transportation.

Then he walked around the town of Tegamo, but there was not even a bookstore there. He had to ask someone for directions, and then he found the right direction and rode out of Tegamo.

Leon felt someone was following him, and it seemed that this person had been following him since he left the Black Crow Hotel.

"They should be the Baron's men... Are they seeking revenge against me?" Leon pondered.

He accidentally caught a glimpse of the other person. Although he didn't see his face clearly, he was very strong, and his intuition told him that this person was a little dangerous.

He thought about it and realized that he had only been here for a day or two and had not committed any crime against this person.

Then this person can only be a killer hired by Baron Crean, or a bounty hunter or something.

"Holding a grudge? How stupid!" Leon sneered, ignored the people following him, and rode his horse quickly towards the village.
