Chapter 1021 1003 This City Owes Us!

Chapter 1021 1003. This city owes us!

"Let him leave Novigrad, or let the shapeshifter leave Novigrad?"

Toot's tone was low.

After hearing Lan's suggestion, Toot, who was comforted by the [Axis Seal], did calm down on the surface.

But Lan looked at the expression on the halfling's face and felt that he was more determined than before.

"No, we will not leave Novigrad."

His tone was no longer like that of a relaxed and happy halfling, but a tone of determination after going through hardships and no matter how others persuaded him, it would be useless.

Under this tone, the other people in the room also fell silent seriously.

"We can become an unknown person, even a beggar, but we will not leave Novigrad, and we will never become a shapeshifter in the wilderness. This is what the city owes us!"

"When humans took the city away from the elves, they also destroyed the natural environment where we originally lived. We were hunted like mad dogs and were almost extinct. Only a few survived, including me."

"You want to know why I am as cautious as a frightened rabbit, Sir Lan? You have not experienced that kind of life, so of course you don't understand me."

"I was attacked by wolves, and then I turned into a wolf and wandered among their tribe for several weeks. That's how I survived."

"Life in Novigrad is much better than in the wilderness. We don't have to wander in the woods and find pits under tree stumps to spend the winter. We don't have to starve and be chased and shot at like prey."

"Novigrad has warm shelter and food. I can make a living by working and doing things. The residents here don't often hunt each other with bows and arrows."

Finally, Dudu looked around at the silent others in the room with anger.

This anger was not directed at a certain object, but for the situation of his own population.

They couldn't stop the invasion of human territory, and even later they couldn't stop the racial hatred and persecution of the indigenous people by humans. Now they are retreating again and again. They just want to get the right to survive as intelligent life in big cities.

Become part of the gears of society.

Dudu finally gritted his teeth and said.

"If you want us to return to the 'original ecology', then you are breeding animals. Only by breeding animals can we pursue primitiveness. We are intelligent life! We have wisdom and emotions!"

"We are no worse than you, our bodies and souls are no worse than yours! We have the right to enter civilized life! Enjoy the convenience brought by the development of civilization!"

Everyone was silent.

No one present was racist, and even felt disgusted by racial persecution.

But this should undoubtedly be the first time that they met an endangered continental natives and explained their ideas to a group of humans.

-You humans are cruel and greedy, so be strong. But on this continent, do you really have to trample on the last wish of the natives to survive?

"Of course." Lan En said softly in silence, "Of course you have the right to live and enjoy the convenience of civilization, Dudu."

The halfling turned his head and looked at the tall demon hunter sitting on the chair.

"Although your reasons for refusing to leave Novigrad are not rational, no one can say anything. Then there is another plan."

"Just give up the eye-catching identity of the commander of the temple guard, and as you said, do an ordinary job to support yourself."

Lan En stretched out his hand to Dudu.

"If he can't hold on, I welcome you to have a helper. I can also pay the assistant's salary, my professional manager."

The halfling was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"Then. I wish us a happy cooperation, Sir Lan En."

"Just call me Lan En."

Dudu wiped his face with both hands, turned around and prepared to walk out of the door to find his shapeshifter friend to talk about the information just now.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Geralt also stood up and said.

Shapeshifters are very powerful and can even imitate the mutant body of the demon hunter.

But they are kind by nature, and their combat ability cannot be fully exerted to the level of the original owner when they don't have the intention to kill.

And Dudu refused.

"No, you'd better not follow me, Geralt. I have met Chapelle many times. The Eternal Fire calls you mutants. If you follow me, you will be conspicuous."

Geralt thought about it and sat down again.

And Toot walked straight out the door. In the gap between the door opening and closing, he had turned into a human male wearing a white tights and a leather vest.

After Toot left, the whole room remained silent for a while.

Racial conflicts, racial oppression, and racial genocide, humans have implemented these methods on a large scale after landing on this continent.

Today, although the scale is not as large as before, the indigenous people who were forcibly suppressed by humans are still living in racial discrimination.

It is said that in the capital of Kaedwen, Ard Kale, since the current king Henselt ascended the throne, there have been two or three massacres against non-human races.

The wealth accumulated by the elves, dwarves, and halflings, just because they are not human, angry beggars and rogues can kill the owners of the wealth and divide up the wealth.

Henselt said that it was "the anger aroused by the righteous people in the society". But if he did not collect taxes according to the amount of robbery, the credibility of this statement should be much higher.

At first, there were still non-human races who reluctantly believed it, but after this incident broke out several times, there were basically no non-human races left in the city to live and set up businesses.

Because they all knew that living there would only become a target of robbery in the future.

The people in the room were not illiterate farmers or poor people, so they all knew it.

Ordinary non-human races are no different from ordinary humans, and the hatred between races is mostly deliberately set off.

In order to cover up the contradictions between nobles and civilians, and cover up the alliances and conflicts between big merchants, industry unions and nobles

This is not correct.

Lan En knew this clearly in his heart.

And

The young demon hunter's hands clenched and loosened.

The steel cables connected to the muscles, bones, and tendons strengthened by surgery, and the accumulation of various technologies made his power far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Unlike when he first arrived, when he couldn't even take care of his own safety, he now has the power and influence that may change this phenomenon!

However, this kind of thing is completely different from killing a powerful monster alone.

This requires a perfect organization and the support of people's hearts.

But he can't spend all his time in this world, because he is still the one who made a promise with the Lady of the Lake.

He is the champion chosen by the goddess.

If it is important or not, guarding the celestial intersection rift with the Lady of the Lake is even more important than the safety of the entire continent.

Because it concerns the whole world.

And if the leader of the organization disappears from the public eye for several months for no reason, and it will happen again every once in a while.

Such an organization cannot be stable and will not have too high potential.

The reason why the Embers Knights are not a problem is that the individual qualities of the Embers Knights are too high, and there are not many of them. Each of them has personally followed Lan En across the battlefield of Sodden Mountain.

Once the organization faces the expansion of personnel and influence, they cannot spread their advantages to the entire organization.

And to be honest, Lan En's current fearful attitude that every kingdom would be a little bit angry when mentioning him is largely due to his freedom from all ties.

If he really had a huge and bloated organization that he had devoted his efforts to, he might not be as "free" as he is now.

However, these problems were skipped one by one in Lan En's mind.

It only took a short time, and the computing power of Mentos combined with the education Lan En received and the experience gained from [Memory Dive].

It's not that he didn't have a way to get things done.

It's just that he needed to wait for a suitable opportunity-

Dudu's work was done very quickly, and it took about two hours to go back and forth, and he returned to the room of the Kingfisher Tavern again in the evening.

Chapelle had already informed him, and he also knew about the Manji brothers' plan to bring him down.

In fact, he had already anticipated this matter.

After all, he could never do the same thing as the original Chapelle, nor could he be as cruel as that human.

Changes in personality and methods of doing things are bound to arouse suspicion.

Even if there were no Manji brothers, those who were eyeing the commander's position and wanted to climb up would have noticed it.

Suppression is useless, even killing people is useless.

Because there is no end to killing such people.

"As long as there are still people who want to climb up, they will definitely target him. He is too conspicuous and too abnormal."

Dudu huddled in a chair in the room, speaking in a low voice, taking a sip of the wine glass in his hand from time to time.

"A guy who dares not kill people actually sat in the position of commander of the temple guard. After a long time, everyone knows that it is abnormal."

"Thank you, Lan En." Dudu raised his glass to thank Lan En who was sitting on the bed.

"You reminded him and left him a job opportunity."

"No, nothing."

Lan En was playing with the fluff ball. The kitten curled up in the bed to sleep in the afternoon, but now he was very energetic.

He pinched a sausage into small pieces with his hands, then threw it into the air. The fluff ball caught it in the air quickly and ate the snack.

The play of the Elu cat is also very similar to that of ordinary cats.

"It's been a long time since he replaced Chapelle as the commander. He has been able to do this until now, so he is very capable. I would also feel honored if he works for me."

"No matter what." Although Dudu was a little depressed, he still said solemnly, "We will manage your personal assets well, don't worry."

Lan En's original goal of coming to Novigrad was achieved. He found a professional manager that he could trust.

Although there were many complications in the middle, it was still satisfactory.
