Crow's Nest.

The Baron wakes up from his hangover.

After learning the news from Harry, he immediately sent people to Oxburgh. However, although Oxburgh is close to Willen, it would take more than a day or two to travel back and forth.

He got up from the bed and put on his clothes.

I have to meet with people from Nilfgaard today.

My daughter and wife ran away, but life goes on and it’s not impossible for them to come back.

He walked out of the room cursing, holding the half-empty bottle of wine on the bedside table.

Wait until you reach the first floor.

Two people who suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared suddenly appeared in his house again.

"Demon Hunter, and your companions." The baron was surprised. "You came back so soon? Have you found that little girl Ciri?"

Harry shook his head: "Almost, we have found the trace."

"So you can come and deal with my troubles now?" The baron put the bottle aside. "Don't worry, I won't pay you less Kronor. I understand demon hunters."

"Not yet," Harry answered him, "I have to find Ciri once and for all."

The baron was startled and curled his lips: "Then what are you doing here? Did you come here to inform me?"

"We're going to take Uma away," Harry replied. "We'll pay, of course."

The baron stroked his chin: "I don't need money."

"Help me bring Tamara back."

"Anna's matter can wait."

Harry shook his head and refused bluntly: "I think I said that the time and situation do not allow me to do this now."

"After I find Ciri and solve those problems, I will come over to accept your commission."

The baron said firmly, "If you don't help me find Tamara, I won't hand Uma over to you."

Harry had a blank expression on his face and spoke calmly: "Baron, I don't think you would do such an unwise thing. Do you think you can stop me with just the soldiers you have?"

"I'm doing this because you took care of Ciri."

The Baron said nothing, but stared at him.

Harry snapped his fingers.

A whooshing sound was heard, and the Baron turned around, his face turned into horror - the table behind him twisted and turned into a giant statue whose height was close to the ceiling. The material was no longer wood, but a cool metal texture.

The Baron has been through many battles.

He could clearly tell that this was top-quality steel, or at least master-level craftsmanship.

From a wooden table, it turned into a giant steel statue.

magic?

Aren't demon hunters incapable of mastering magic?

"I can make it even bigger," Harry whispered. "Do you think I have what it takes to destroy that army of yours?"

The Baron turned pale.

The voice was light, and the tone and manner in which it was spoken were also very gentle, but these words were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart.

Can a steel colossus destroy its own army?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But what about adding a witcher and a sorceress?

What if, among other things, the Demon Hunter could summon more than one Iron Colossus?

At least it seems that this demon hunter is far from reaching his limit and he can easily summon such a giant.

"Witcher, you are threatening me." The baron turned his head back stiffly.

Harry shrugged. "You know, I'm a witcher."

"You win." After a while, the baron clapped his hands, "Three hundred crowns, and you can take Wuma away."

“This is a very fair price.”

Harry raised his hand and a small piece of gold flew out of the Sorting Hat and fell into his hand.

"You are very generous." The baron took it in surprise and weighed it in his hand.

Harry gave him an unpleasant look and held out his hand: "You need the change."

"This gold piece is worth much more than three hundred crowns."

Gold is also valuable in this world.

However, most of the so-called "gold jewelry" is just a little bit of gold mixed with a large amount of brass. Even so, such a gold ring can be sold for more than ten kronor.

But it is gold with high purity like the one in his hand.

In addition to the value of gold itself, it has the additional value of craftsmanship.

"What a petty person." The baron sighed.

"When will the price of a water ghost be two crowns instead of one or three crowns?" Harry shook his head. "Money is very important to us."

The baron took a bite, broke it open and looked at it with some surprise: "Is the purity so high?"

"How about six hundred crowns?"

Harry said nothing, just stared at him.

"Six hundred and thirty?" The baron immediately quoted another price.

"Baron, there's no need for us to play this kind of bargaining game." Harry shook his head. "We all know the value of this piece of gold. Seven hundred and ten crowns is a fair price for both of us."

"As for Uma..."

"For the sake of my providing you with such a high-purity gold, you have to give me five hundred and ten crowns for the two hundred crowns."

The baron shook his head frantically: "Demon Hunter, you are the one asking for too much."

"Two hundred crowns? It's rare to find a clown like this. If I sell it to another merchant, I can get at least four hundred crowns."

Harry held his hand forward, showing his palm.

No words were spoken, but the meaning was clear.

If you have the ability, go and sell it and see if there is anyone willing to pay 400 kronor to buy such a thing.

The baron scratched his face, a little embarrassed: "I am a little exaggerated, but two hundred won't do. Three hundred is a fair price."

"But I'm not trading with you in crowns, I'm trading with gold." Harry raised his hand, and the gold in the baron's hand floated up. "If I go to Novigrad, this piece of gold can be exchanged for at least 700 crowns. Even if it's made more exquisite, it can be sold for 800 crowns."

The Baron said confidently: "But you are in Crow's Nest now, not Novigrad."

Harry didn't say anything, but uttered an onomatopeia: "Snap."

This voice alerted the Baron.

The two in front of him have the ability to teleport.

"But it still hasn't become a work of art," the Baron quipped.

Harry waved his hand.

The gold nugget turned into a miniature but vivid wolf.

The Baron was speechless.

He also has the ability to shapeshift.

"Then it's 700 crowns, Wuma's price. I can make a further concession, 260 crowns?" The baron took a deep breath.

Harry waved his hand and the gold nugget returned to its original form: "Deal."

"Wolf..." the Baron uttered a word.

Harry glanced at him.

The Baron sighed and said nothing more.

He held the gold nugget and went to his house to get the money. Four hundred crowns was not a small amount of money. For ordinary farmers, a few crowns could get them through a month. The hundreds of crowns they entrusted to the demon hunters were all collected by each family. Although the Bloody Baron was a baron, this was in Velen, and his castle was just a decent village.

He is far from a real baron.

Hermione looked at Harry, unexpectedly surprised: "Harry, I didn't know you would actually put that price."

"This is one of the essential skills for a witcher." Harry said softly, with the corners of his mouth raised in pleasure.
