Chapter 1001 983 Is There Anything Else About You?

Chapter 1001 983. And your business?

Dandelion undoubtedly did not notice that the expressions of the two friends behind him were "slightly" wrong.

Before Geralt tugged at the corner of his doublet, the poet walked into the tavern with a brisk pace.

"Hello! I wish you a good mood and good health!" Dandelion said loudly, walking into the wooden door, the lute played a loud sound, and the strings jumped happily under his thumb.

"I, Master Dandelion - the most famous poet in this land - visited your vulgar shop, tavern owner! He wants a drink! Can you appreciate the great honor I have given you, you old miser?"

"It sounds like he knows the boss well." Lan En and Geralt could only follow behind, and the young man whispered to the white wolf. "Maybe things won't be too ugly?"

Geralt looked back at Lan En expressionlessly.

He could hear that the tone of the young man behind him was close to a beautiful fantasy in an embarrassing situation.

Common name: dreaming.

"I fully appreciate this honor, Master Dandelion."

The tavern owner leaned out lazily from behind the counter and said listlessly.

"It's nice to see you, Master. I'm really happy to see that you can keep your promise. You did say that you would come to pay off your debts with us today, but I was blind and thought that you were just bragging as before. I am really ashamed of this."

"Let this shame torture your heart, dear boss."

Dandelion stretched out his other hand that was not holding the lute like an actor introducing an actor.

"Because my two loyal friends will hum today."

Finally, after Lan En's fluke was shattered and he was sure that things were slipping into an irreversible situation, he stretched out his hand directly, grabbed the cherry red collar, and pulled Dandelion over.

The tall young man held the shoulders of the poet in his thirties and lowered his voice.

"Actually, I have something I haven't told you, dear Dandelion."

"Hmm? Oh, it doesn't matter, Lan. I think everyone should have their own privacy. If you don't want to share something with me, then I won't ask."

"I agree with your point of view in principle, but it seems that this matter must be 'shared'."

"I'll just say it directly." Geralt also interrupted the conversation from the side in a low voice.

He stared at Dandelion with a look of watching a good show, and then said: "Your plan to get this rich man to pay you back for your wine will not work, Dandelion. At least not now."

"Lan is going bankrupt."

"WHAT!?"

Dandelion exclaimed uncontrollably as if he had seen a demon, and his eyes were wide open looking at Lan.

However, the gold content of famous actors, poets, and singers is still sufficient, especially in such an emergency.

Dandelion changed the subject and simply continued to speak with an uncontrollable loud voice just now.

"Oh, I can't accept it! Guys!"

"Do you know how good this respected boss is? You have the heart to let him suffer from the inner shame? I'm so ashamed of you!"

As if he had a falling out with Geralt and Lan, Dandelion walked to the counter with an indignant expression.

"Please don't be ashamed of your misunderstanding just now, good man. I can come back to pay the money at another time. It's settled."

"But before paying off the debt, please open a private room for us."

Geralt reluctantly moved closer to Lan, walked past Dandelion, took out a few Novigrad crowns and slapped them on the counter.

If Lan's assets are well managed, he can return to the peak and become rich.

He, a witcher who earns hard-earned money, now has to exchange money with Lan to open a private room, of course he feels painful.

The tavern owner looked at Dandelion and Geralt with suspicion.

But in the end, under the poet's eloquence, they were given a private room in the tavern and served the famous fried fish set.

The purchasing power of the crown in Novigrad is relatively strong.

Especially after the Civil War, this neutral free city has become even more valuable and a good place to buy assets on the continent, so the exchange rate of crown to Oren has even appreciated recently.

"There are not many people in the tavern now, so we don't need to open a private room."

Geralt, who paid the money, was still muttering.

Dandelion and Lan had learned to turn a blind eye to this.

"It's too early for the regulars of the Spear Cave. The workers are still repairing the temple, and the foreman has to follow. Come, try this fried fish, the essence is the matching pepper sauce."

Dandelion introduced the tavern as a regular customer, while skillfully handling the fried fish set.

Freshly caught sea fish can be bought from the fish market in Novigrad at a cheap price. After all, this place is close to the sea and the river.

The set meal also includes a bowl of tomato cream soup, wheat bread, and a bowl of sauerkraut.

Dandelion ate the bread dipped in tomato cream soup and asked Lan.

"So you are really on the verge of bankruptcy?"

Even though his face twisted during the chewing action, you can still see the incredible expression.

"That's the Valyrian steel business! Did you get cheated? So much money! You can't spend it all even if you die!"

"Although I don't really understand how much money Valyrian steel makes, when the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce offered a price to poets and singers and asked us to promote it, the price was really high."

"I guess the work I took has been passed on three or four times, and I have taken a lot of kickbacks. Even after I finished the work, I was still taking kickbacks for half a month."

"Oh, then if you want to take work from the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce in the future, you can tell me, I won't pass it on to you."

Lan En scratched his head and smiled, and then his smile became a little bitter.

"Of course, if you spend that money, you will definitely not be able to spend it all, but if you invest in business with this money, you can lose it all."

Suddenly, Dandelion, who was stuffing fried fish into his mouth, looked at Lan En sympathetically.

He was very famous, so he naturally came into contact with many nobles, big businessmen and so on.

If the children of these people are considered in terms of ability, they are generally of ordinary level.

If you live a "painful" life without any waves, such as spending money steadily, eating and waiting to die, you will probably live for several lifetimes.

But people are strange creatures. After having enough food and drink and being tired of many entertainment activities, they will always pursue self-realization.

So the business started, and then the money that could have been spent safely for several lifetimes would be swept away by the market, and even debts would be borne.

The fluffy ball jumped onto the chair lightly, patted his boss's shoulder with comforting and serious eyes, and pushed his fried fish meal to Lan En's side.

"Don't be afraid, meow! Boss! I can go fishing for meals in the future! We can also work together to make money, meow!"

Lan En quickly pushed the fluffy ball's meal back to the kitten.

"Not that, fluffy ball, really not that!"

Lan En patted the calico kitten's head and pushed it back to sit on the chair.

"So, this is the thing."

Lan En scratched his head and explained his current situation to Dandelion.

So Dandelion let go after listening.

If Lan En really went bankrupt, he would avoid everything related to this topic. But now, this guy just has a gap in cash flow, and it has been filled.

Is this considered bankruptcy?

He and Geralt have a lot in common in this regard. In this situation, he can feel free to mock Lann.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Lann."

Dandelion said to the young witcher across the table earnestly.

"You are still so young and energetic. Why do you want to take on bankruptcy alone?"

"I know you are doing well in Aretuza. Those sorceresses look at you like hungry wolves seeing meat and bones, not to mention that you have shares in Valyrian Steel."

"But in this case, you should rely more on that person?"

Dandelion said halfway, looking at Geralt next to him for help.

"Margarita Laux Andrea," Geralt said calmly. The two of them have been friends for more than ten years and have a tacit understanding with each other. "Dean of Aretuza."

"Yes! It's this noble lady."

Dandelion said indignantly.

"You have already sacrificed your precious youth, so what's wrong with accepting a little support?"

"Like me, although I still rely on my art to make a living most of the time, I will not refuse the gifts forced on me by the ladies!"

Finally, the experienced Master Dan spoke earnestly.

"You know me, I am full of masculinity. But one of the important principles of life is: Don't be arrogant when encountering things. Who doesn't have difficulties?"

"Don't learn from Geralt, I think it will take decades for him and Yennefer to resolve their affairs."

Geralt kept silent, but calmly pulled the bowl of pickled cabbage in Dandelion's set meal to himself.

"I feel that I have benefited a lot from your advice."

Lan said to Dandelion with his hands spread out.

"But unfortunately, this advice comes too late. I have already been arrogant, and now I have to look at the reality and think of a solution."

"So you came to find Dudu?"

At this time, Dandelion understood why Lan came to find the "business-minded shapeshifter".

But as he figured it out, his face became weird.

Lan noticed the change in Dandelion's expression, and he had a bad feeling.

"I guess. You have something to tell me?"

Geralt also raised his head from the plate.

Dandelion laughed awkwardly, and then fell silent again.

"That's it. How should I put it?"

"Dudu is about to go bankrupt, and now he is hiding from his debts."

"Then I guess again." Lan felt his eyelids start to twitch. "Is there anything about you in this?"

Dandelion didn't speak, and almost buried his head in the bowl of soup.
