Since the coup in Sinnied Island, the province of Waylen has been poor at a speed visible to the naked eye, and almost all its wealth has been concentrated in Goswellen, the capital of the province.

Even during such difficult times, the towering castles in Goswellen still look bright and beautiful, which is in sharp contrast to the poverty and despair of major villages and towns in the province.

A large number of exquisite animal specimens hung in the magnificent castle, and a complete set of gorgeous armor was lined up. The luxurious layout of this mansion would not feel outdated even if it was placed in Vigima.

At this time, Xin Sheng was standing in the garden in the front yard of the castle, looking at the flowers that had begun to sprout with interest.

After experiencing the witch hunter trial, Xin Sheng also had the witch hunter's iconic amber eyes, but his pupils did not look like snakes, and were no different from the pupils of normal humans.

Even so, the castle guard recognized his identity at a glance, and unexpectedly showed disgust and contempt at the first meeting.

"Get out! The witch hunter, there is no job you want here!"

Most of the guards who were domesticated by the nobles had not received higher education. In terms of verbal skills, ten people were not Xin Sheng's opponents.

After a series of fooling around, Xin Sheng successfully frightened the guards on the grounds that the Squirrel Party was about to riot, and asked them to send people into the castle to notify the Baron.

Xin Sheng was taken to the garden and waited temporarily. The Baron did not want the inferior to the people to pollute his most important castle.

Originally, Xin Sheng felt a little guilty about fooling the Baron, but Baron Punato's behavior strengthened his idea, leaving Xin Sheng no longer worried.

‘The pitiful person must have something hateful, so you can be my pawn with peace of mind.’

“Du~Du~”

There was a rhythmic sound in the castle, and Xin Sheng, who was enjoying the garden, immediately turned around.

"Ga~"

The side door of the castle opened, and a well-dressed middle-aged fat man walked out slowly with a civilized stick.

There was a little beard on his lips that had been carefully carved, and the tails of both sides were slightly raised. When approaching Xin Sheng, the baron's head always maintained a slightly high angle, as if he was showing his nobility.

‘Pretending.’

Xin Sheng had seen the etiquette of the Duke's family with his own eyes, so Williams Cavendish would not be like this baron.

Baron Punato's overly deliberate external performance instead revealed his inner inferiority and disconfidence.

"Hmm~"

After standing in front of Xin Sheng, the baron deliberately raised his chin and cleared his throat, looking at Xin Sheng from the corner of his eyes.

"The Witch Hunter, did you say the Squirrel Party is about to riot? Is there any evidence?"

Xin Sheng ignored the baron's disgusting attitude and replied with a smile: "Yes, the dwarf bank in the city is their stronghold."

"I heard that the dwarf who runs the bank is very dissatisfied with the Baron's behavior of borrowing money but not repaying it. He specially recruited the Squirrel Party from other places and planned to force you to repay the money by force."

"absurd!"

When he was poked into the pain, Baron Punato didn't care about making a move, his raised head returned to normal, and his eyes were also turning around in panic.

"How could I borrow money and not repay it? Those dwarves dared to slander the nobles!"

Xin Sheng smiled dismissively: "But that's the case. They also intend to launch an armed rebellion under the pretext of the Baron collusion with Ridania and trying to sell the country."

"What, what, what?!"

Ignoring Punato, who was frightened and cried, Xin Sheng advised him with the standard aristocratic etiquette he learned from Williams.

"If I were you, I would have to take action before the danger broke out."

"A thing like debt, as long as there is no creditor, it will be just a piece of waste paper. Are you right, Lord Baron?"

Xin Sheng is tall and handsome, and he looks even more elegant when performing aristocratic rituals.

Baron Punato looked down at his belly, his bulging abdomen making him unable to even see his toes.

He looked at Xin Sheng's eyes and became alert, with a hint of jealousy.

"Who are you...?"

After all, he is a baron in charge of the territory. No matter how idiot he is, he can feel Xin Sheng's intention to make trouble.

Xin Sheng raised his head and smiled meaningfully: "I am from Vigima and I have a deep relationship with the court warlock Tris Meligod."

“Vigema…”

A look of panic flashed in Baron Punato's eyes. He really thought that his little secret between him and Redania was known by the top leaders of the kingdom.

"Ah~ Please don't worry."

Xin Sheng kindly reminded: "I have no intention of exposing your small business with 'AI's', as long as this chaos can end smoothly."

"I have already brought the words, so I will take my leave first. Please let the Baron consider what to do."

It was not until Xin Sheng's back disappeared from his vision that Baron Punato retracted his gaze.

"……housekeeper."

A gray-bearded old man behind the baron lowered his head and replied, "Here."

Baron Punato frowned and asked, "What do you think? Can he believe his words?"

The old butler subconsciously stroked his beard, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"The etiquette of this witch hunter is very standard, and he should be dealing with nobles frequently. As for the information he provides... I can't guarantee it."

The old housekeeper said cautiously: "In recent years, the power of the Squirrel Party has indeed become increasingly large, and the conflicts with the four northern countries have gradually come to an open end."

"But most of them are active in the surrounding areas of big cities, such as the...simple places like the Willen area, I can't imagine that the Squirrel Party has any reason to intervene."

"snort!"

Baron Punato sneered: "What else can I do for? The Dwarf's vault."

"That group of terrorists have been short of money. If they can get support from the Dwarf Bank, they can buy more weapons and armor."

"It seems that you have made a decision."

The old housekeeper saw the baron's attitude and said no more if he was tactful.

Baron Punato's eyes flashed for a moment, and hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.

"Call Captain Cavaliers, I have important tasks to hand over to him."

"yes."

...

At the same time, the Dwarf Bank reception room in Goswellen.

"What a joke!"

"Bang!"

A decently dressed dwarf hammered an angry punch on the table.

His temperament and rude behavior were incompatible with his rather particular outfit, just like putting on a luxurious dress to a gangster who was not in a stand-alone manner.

nondescript.

"That old bastard has been owed money for a long time and is still planning to swallow our bank in one fell swoop?"

"There is no door!"

The dwarf with a long beard stood up angrily: "Come on! I..."

"Brother, wait first."

Another calm bearded dwarf grabbed his brother and looked at the female demon hunter sitting opposite him with suspicion.

"The news is true? Where did you get it?"

Natiya pretended to be mysterious and shook her finger: "Tsk tsk~ You don't need to know this, I can only guarantee that there is no error in the news."

"At the latest tomorrow, the Baron Knights who have assembled will flatten your bank. The consequences... I don't need to say more."

Goswellen's dwarf bank is a family-based business. It has been open in this city for decades and has been living cautiously in the cracks of human society.

Although these dwarves usually act relatively low-key, it is impossible for those who dare to open banks in such turbulent times without two brushes, otherwise they would not even be able to recover the debts they released.

The managers of this generation are two brothers. The older brother Nath is the one with a bad temper, and the younger brother Doron is the one with a calmer family. Their family is called Ashbow, which is also their bank name.

After holding his brother, Doron calmly thanked Natiya.

"Thank you for your reminder, we will make corresponding preparations as soon as possible."

Natiya always seemed carefree, but as she grew up, she still remembered Xin Sheng’s previous teachings, which were a bit more slippery and accidents than when she was a girl.

Seeing what he wanted in the eyes of the dwarf brothers, Natiya stood up happily and said goodbye.

"I have informed you that it is up to you to decide how to choose and say goodbye."
