When Xin Sheng and Geralt began to search for Resor's whereabouts with the assistance of Triss, Natiya and Xiri, who were staying in Novigre, also began to take action.

From the exit of the underground waterway where the ghoul's nest is located, the two of them discovered through observation that this was a large casino.

Late at night, the casinos were closed, and most of the gamblers were scattered to nearby brothels to have fun, while some gambling props were still retained on the gambling table.

For example, Gent.

"casino?"

Natiya accidentally touched her chin: "I thought it would be a blacksmith shop on it."

“Woo~”

The rhubarb, whose nose was covered by cloth strips, made a low aggrieved sound, and the inability to smell made the hunting dog with a sensitive sense of smell very uncomfortable.

"Be good, this is for your own good."

Natiya looked back at the sewer that was still smelly: "Let's go, search in the casino, and you may get clues about the origin of the hammer."

"Dong~"

After closing the stone cover of the sewer, Natiya finally took off the cloth strips that bound rhubarb.

"Woo? Woo woo!"

Rhubarb had a sharper sense of smell than the witch hunter. When he smelled the stench remaining on Natiya and Xiri, he immediately rolled his eyes and retreated sharply.

Natiya shrugged jokingly: "Look, I have said it's for you."

"Come on, smell this hammer."

Dahuang resisted his dissatisfaction and barely approached the hammer head, which still had a stinky smell.

Perhaps I smelled other odors from the hammer head, and rhubarb's ears that were originally hung down due to listlessness suddenly stood straight.

"Woo!"

Hearing Natiya and Xili, Dahuang Yigou rushed out first, sniffing around in the casino.

The two of them were scattered in the open casino and Natiya even used Hawkeye vision.

Through Hawkeye, which can penetrate the wall, Natiya found two people in a gambling room with dice, which should be the lounge of the casino.

Carefully pressing against the wall, Natiya pricked up her ears and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two next door.

"…When will that damn dwarf be crazy?"

"Who knows, the butcher is famous for protecting his shortcomings. If he bites him, he doesn't want to break free easily."

"What do you mean by the boss? Who is not easy to mess with? Why do you have to mess with that guy who is so angry?"

"Don't panic, keep pretending. As long as there is no evidence, Carlo can't do anything to us. At most, he can only breathe out."

‘Dwarf, Carlo, butcher?’

These three different names refer to the same person, a dwarf whose real name is Carlo.

One of the four underground gangsters of Novigray, Carlo Varese.

Natiya has heard of this name. "Butterfly" Carlo has a group of inhuman races and has a great reputation in the City of Liberty.

Anyone who dares to question his business scope and business style, no matter who the other party is, will be regarded as a damn racist by Carlo.

Of course, the final outcome of such a person will not be very beautiful. Perhaps he can find his remains in a corner of the sewer.

After that, the two did not discuss this topic again, and began to smile and talk about which technician has better skills.

Natiya quietly took a few steps back and hid in the dark corner of the wall to sort out the information she had just obtained.

‘There are only three people who can challenge the butcher Carlo, the entire Novigre Underground World.’

‘I manage the casino and brothel, and have a deep holiday with the butcher... Then it can only be Hawthorne II.’

Hawthorne II is also one of the four giants of Novigre gangs, mainly responsible for revenue in casinos, brothels and fighting arenas.

Hawthorne II and the butcher's incompatibility among the four giants are no longer new, and the locals in Novigre have long heard of this.

The other two of the four giants are Sidwig Twalin, who is in charge of intelligence business, and the "beggar king" who leads thieves, beggars, homeless men and orphans on the streets - Francis Belan.

According to the information Xin Sheng got from Silvi, behind Sidweig, there is the official background of Redania.

To be precise, it is the former official.

These gang members in charge of the intelligence business were private intelligence networks that Discoch had previously established. With Discoch's escape, their official contact with Redania was disconnected.

After Radovid V completely took over Redania's supreme power, Discoche's life and death were no longer so important.

Xin Sheng speculated that he should find a suitable place to make a comeback after the situation calmed down, and Novigre, the city of freedom, is one of the best choices.

Natiya took out the hammer head placed in the small bag around her waist and looked carefully.

‘Why, is the evidence they said refers to this?’

4 a.m. is one of the most likely time points for humans to get sleepy.

Both of them who were still talking to each other before had fallen asleep at this time, and Natiya also met again with Xiri and Dahuang.

Ciri found a snuff bottle with a gold-clad surface, with some unburned tobacco remaining inside.

Dahuang brought back a big gold tooth, and some dark red blood could be seen on it.

"withdraw."

Through the underground waterway, the two of them successfully returned to the "Valkyrie" hotel.

As usual, Xiri and Natiya took a shower first and washed away the remaining sewer stench on their bodies.

Dahuang was reluctantly pulled and rubbed by Natiya. At this time, she looked like a chicken that had just come out of water.

"Puff puff puff!"

Rhubarb, covered in water, shook her body depressedly, and a large number of water droplets scattered out of it.

"Let me talk first."

After returning to the suite on the top floor, Cili took out the snuff bottle she found.

“This is what I found in an office deep in the casino.”

"The office was luxuriously decorated, but it looked full of the bad taste of nouveau riche. It should be the casino owner's room."

"This snuff bottle is hidden in the dark compartment of the bookshelves, and it should be a relatively important item."

"Da~"

Natiya put the big gold teeth that the rhubarb brought back on the table.

Based on the gestures of dancing with Dahuang, Natiya roughly guessed what it meant.

"There is a scent on this gold tooth that is similar to the one on the hammer."

Natiya continued with a serious expression: "I was lucky enough to overheard the conversation between two casino bodyguards, connected all the clues, and came up with a rough guess."

Natiya pointed to the three documents on the table: "These three things should belong to the same person, the dwarf blacksmith under the Novigri gang giant 'butcher'."

"The cause of the conflict between the two sides is unknown. Hawthorne II, who is also a gangster giant, sent people to kill the dwarf blacksmith, threw his body and almost all the evidence into the sewer, and destroyed the corpse through ghouls."

"As for the snuff bottles and gold teeth you found, it should be because of their high value. The person responsible for handling the corpse is held and planned to exchange it for money."

Xiri shook her head with a wry smile: "Hawthorne II and the Butcher are both Novigre's famous gang leader, but I didn't expect this matter to involve them."

"Why does Xin think that handling this will bring us benefits?"

Natiya shook her head: "I don't know, but I believe in Xin's intuition."

“The problem now is…”

Natiya pointed to the evidence on the table and asked, "Hawthorne II and the Butcher, which side do we want to help?"
