Chapter 4 Orphanage(1/2)

Geralt stared at the gradually lit up sky, and the horizon had purple stripes of morning light.

The luxurious villa of my home reveals a towering and straight outline in the horizon.

He remembered what he saw last night again.

"Roy, thank you for everything you have done for Yaskel (Dandrien) during this period."

"Have you seen him?"

"Last night, Oaks took us to the pharmacy shop and went to the dance hall to enjoy a wonderful performance." Geralt's face was filled with a smile, and he was sincerely happy for his old friend.

"Askel was still a slut in his thirties. He was not doing his job all day long and was flirting with flowers and flowers, from the daughters of nobles to the laundry women, and courting almost every young woman he met."

"He tastes comparable to Lambert, and for a long time, I was worried that he would fall from the balcony and die when he escaped one day."

"Now I finally have a perfect career that suits my heart... Thanks to your financial support, the dance hall can open up the situation."

"You underestimate Master Dan," Roy said with a smile. "Even if he can't make it in Noor City, he can still return to Osenfort to be a decent professor at any time with his real talent and knowledge. And it's not in vain. The dance hall has started to make profits, and the profit is ours."

"Most importantly, Master Dan and his bard friends can improve the reputation of the witch hunter in Noor City and help us carry out the orphanage operation."

The three of the wolf sect exchanged glances.

I have a little more recognition of the fraternity leader and chief "prophet" who was just selected last night.

...

Outside the large iron gate of the villa, there was a green cloak. The fat man guarding the door glanced at the cat and eagle in the crowd, and respectfully bent down to greet him, opening the door and letting go.

"Mr. Orov is waiting for all the masters, please come here."

The servants of the villa led nine people over a garden with a central fountain pool and towering green plants on both sides, and into a villa with a triangular roof and colorful exterior walls.

"Are they subordinates of the family or your subordinates?" Lambert looked at Maojiu in surprise. There were more than a dozen guards in the manor. When they saw the witch hunter, they looked like mice who saw a cat, and they all lowered their heads.

"I often come to guide these elm heads in the past two months." The cat and eagle showed pale teeth, and the gray-green pupils flashed coldly. "They know what the consequences will be if they offend me!"

The interior of the villa is gorgeously decorated with top-notch Oufeer carpets that cross the ocean. Luxury decorations such as antique oil paintings and porcelain can be seen everywhere, which is a feast for the eyes.

However, there are not many servants in the house, and obviously the family prefers a quiet environment.

When everyone arrived on the second floor, a man with purple hair, pale and handsome face, with two carefully caring beards was sitting at the desk, browsing a bunch of bills and information with a sad face.

A star-shaped amulet can be seen on the chest of a silk robe, and seven or eight magic-containing rings can be seen on the fingers.

Compared to a month ago, he looked much more haggard, with two dark circles on his lower eyelids.

Feeling the strange attention, when the family looked up, their eyebrows were stretched out, and a relaxed smile appeared on their faces.

Waves away the waiter.

"Good friends, Demon Hunter, I haven't seen you for a month, and my style is still as good as others!"

He stepped forward enthusiastically and shook hands with the witch hunter one by one.

He is very low-profile and sincere in his expression, not like the powerful giant in Nuocheng.

"What are these three?" The family turned his eyes toward his old friend and there were several completely unfamiliar faces following him.

"Gelotte, the master of the Wolf School... Eskal, Lambert... just came to Nog City." Maojiu explained, "I forgot to tell you that from now on, they will be their own people!"

"The alliance between the witcher and the shapeshifter has three more members!"

"This is the most beautiful news recently. The alliance's foundation has deepened, so we stand firmer. If the truth is revealed in the future, Eternal Fire must also be considered seriously if it wants to take action!" The family did not hide the excitement on his face, staring at the three scar-faced men and looking at them constantly, with their expressions like a cat smelling fish.

The three of them were uncomfortable watching.

Is this guy really a shapeshifter?

When I noticed the awkward expressions of several people, I immediately rubbed my temples in annoyance.

"Sorry, the guy I copied is a psychopathic warlock. I inherited some bad qualities, and when I saw something new or stranger, some disgusting thoughts came out of my mind uncontrollably."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to worry. We have heard a little about the ability of the shapeshift, which is understandable." Lambert shrugged.

"They are all my own people here. I can call my real name privately, either Gao Wen or Samsha." Gao Wen waved his hand indifferently.

"Gowen, you look in a bad shape," Roy asked on the sofa, "What's wrong with this month?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's not a big problem. Living in a villa, you can eat and drink every day, which is so comfortable that you go somewhere than when you were hiding in the past," Jia's mouth curved, his eyes were bitter, and he showed a painful and happy expression. "But when I replaced this guy, I realized that life in the upper class was not simple either."

"Dozens of properties, and the endless reports need to be checked at any time."

"Every day, there are so many invitations and social engagements from all walks of life, including Craftsmen, Merchant Association, City Council, Gang... I don't have a duplication from beginning to end for a month. If you come two hours later, I'll go out again."

"Can't you push some off? Or find a right-hand assistant to help you with it?" Roy asked.

"I have pushed down those who can push them long ago, but I have been avoiding them and prone to arousing suspicion from others. Looking for someone? I only trust a few masters! For other people, I am afraid that I will be reported to the Eternal Fire."

The family put his hands behind his waist, shook his head and lamented, and in his tone, he was full of fear of the church that had been pursuing him for most of his life.

"I can only grit my teeth and persevere."

"The trouble of happiness," Oaks also made a comment with a sigh.

"So, Mr. Gowan, now that everyone is here, we won't talk nonsense." Resor said, "About the orphanage, I heard that you have found three venues."

Gao Wen spread a map on his desk in the office.

The terrain structure of Noucheng and the suburbs is detailed, and houses of varying heights are clearly visible.

Three of the places were highlighted.

The two are located in the civilian area and commercial area respectively.

The last house is located outside Noucheng, a suburb half an hour away from Noucheng.

...

"To be honest, I happen to have a vacant land in the commercial area. As long as you agree, I can contribute it at any time." Gao Wen's eyes swept across everyone, "It's a few steps away from the market. If the orphanage is built here, it will be very convenient to travel and purchase."

"Even if this land is not the most expensive central area, it is still valuable," Geralt shook his head. "You are willing to do so, but I don't think it's appropriate. This kind of downtown area is easy to attract outsiders."

"And its yard is not big enough, so it's okay to raise some chickens, ducks and small animals," Seret looked at the map, spreading his thumb and index finger at right angles, "but it's not enough for the children, and they can't move."

To train an apprentice, the witch hunter must find a spacious enough place to arrange equipment such as plum blossom stakes, pendulums, etc.

Gao Wen nodded,

"So what about the civilian area? It comes with a large enough courtyard, and the opening ceremony is fine. The three buildings have plenty of rooms and can accommodate more than one hundred children."

"If you rent it, the monthly rent is less than 100 kronor. The total price is only 20,000 kronors if you buy it at one time."

“In addition, as agreed, I will provide most of the funds.”

A heart-warming proposal.

The witch hunters discussed for a moment.

"The common area is full of the beggar king's eyes and ears. If we set up an orphanage here, we will have no way to hide our actions." Roy shook his head, "The beggar king will be able to guess the plan of the witch hunter soon."

"If it is leaked to the Eternal Fire Witcher to train apprentices in the city of Novigri? They or the City Council may come to visit with full arms."

Most human concepts have not been reversed.

They will only regard the behavior of witch hunters in training apprentices as child trafficking and evil rituals.

"That's right, at this stage we try to avoid head-on conflicts with the overlord of No City, at least before the orphanage is stable." Seret thought, "Low-key development is the best!"

"It really doesn't work, let's take a look."

...

Gao Wen nodded, and the reaction of the witch hunter was consistent with his expectations. "So a few people who are interested in this house in the suburbs? A good choice. The house price is almost negligible, and I have already bought it."

"As soon as you go out, you will find wilderness, rivers and woods. There are enough places for the children to run freely, and it is hidden, so it is not easy to attract attention."

As the family said this, everyone kept nodding.

"His Excellency Gowan, I have a concern... Shouldn't the Church of Eternal Fire have already had a special orphanage?" Eskal asked,

"Will we build another orphanage be considered a business with them?"

"I have done a detailed preliminary investigation, and that Orov, as a member of the city council, also knows some inside information." The Transformation Monster sighed, "Eternal Fire has been adopting orphans, but the quota is extremely limited, only about ten every year, and most of them are to provide relief and porridge... The purpose is to pretend to show off to the people of Nou City, and to win over the hearts of people... Compared to helpless children, Eternal Fire prefers adult believers who can donate money and pay taxes!"

"And because of accidents, diseases, or other reasons, at least fifty orphans are born every year in this huge city, which does not include the villages that are scattered outside the city."

"After these orphans were turned away by the eternal fire, they could stay in the local area, less than one tenth of them survived independently, and the rest would either be selected by the beggar king, begging along the streets for the rest of their lives, or leave their hometowns to other cities, or live in the Temple of the Temple of Meritelli. Or..." The deformed monster's eyes became as sharp as a bird of prey, "the whereabouts were unknown."

"Nuocheng lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people."

"It is a great thing for us to build an orphanage to raise those miserable children. The Eternal Fire and the City Council hope that someone will share the pressure for them and maintain the stability of Noor City."

"That's all, everyone, how about going to a house in the suburbs? If nothing unexpected happens, the orphanage will be officially opened tomorrow!"

"Let's talk about it on the way."

Roy's eyes slowly condensed on the body of the Deformed Monster, becoming softer and with a hint of admiration.

The so-called shapeshift monster is not even considered an ancient race, and is hated and hated by humans because of their ability to change shapes at will.

But he did not revenge on society, but instead had such a kind heart that was compassionate.

"This is the so-called Virgin."
