Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Triss? Four Sorceresses, can I handle them all?

After reading the requests on the notice board, Guilliman naturally decided not to let any of them go.

Aside from the low-priced monster hunting requests posted by the City Guard, which even a dog would find too cheap, all other requests were opportunities for him to develop connections and earn money.

After all, whether he accepted a request or not, he still needed to hunt monsters and absorb soul power.

Thinking this way, the remuneration he received from employers felt like a bonus he was getting for free, which made him quite happy.

With this interesting thought, Guilliman successively met with Captain Vincent Meis of the City Guard, the wealthy merchant Reuven from the port, and Kalkstein, who had been anxiously waiting for this request.

By virtue of his Witcher identity, his obviously powerful and tall physique, and his impressive handsome appearance, he easily established cooperation with the three and accepted these requests from them.

Unfortunately, the negotiations regarding the remuneration were not very smooth. These three were all extremely stingy, even the wealthy merchant Reuven, who seemed generous but was actually a very cunning and tight-fisted businessman.

Even with Guilliman's excellent eloquence and prolonged negotiations, the final price was only about ten percent higher than the amount listed on the request board, which was better than nothing.

After dealing with the morning's unpleasantries, he quickly tidied his mood, put on what he considered his most dashing Witcher gear, and, carrying a small gift, headed to the rich district of Vizima.

This was the area where two royal sorceresses resided.

Compared to the less familiar Keira, the first person Guilliman wanted to visit was, of course, our lovely, lively, and understanding red-haired sorceress, Triss.

As a player, how could Guilliman not like this sorceress, who performed so brilliantly and was so endearing in the game?

Soon, after asking a few passersby, Guilliman arrived at the door of a three-story residence with a garden and a yard, and knocked on the door.

A maid, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old and wore a white apron, opened the door and looked at him with a gaze of suspicion and caution, asking:

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Is there something you need to see the master of this house about?"

Seeing the young maid, Guilliman showed a kind smile, and at the same time lowered his head, allowing her to see his special beast-like eyes, then he spoke:

"Please tell Lady Triss, the Royal Advisor."

"The Witcher Guilliman requests an audience."

"I saw the request in the square, so I've come to discuss related matters with Lady Triss."

Guilliman was very polite, and his tall, handsome appearance made the little maid relax her guard.

She stared at the Witcher's face for a few seconds, then nodded as if confirming, and said:

"Alright, Mr. Guilliman, I will go ask Miss Triss now."

"However, Miss Triss has several guests today, and it seems inconvenient for her to receive visitors."

"As for whether she is willing to see you, I don't know."

Guilliman nodded, thanked her again, and at the same time felt a little curious about who Triss's guests were. Were they other sorceresses?

He waited for four or five minutes, until he felt that he probably wouldn't have hope of seeing Triss today and was feeling a bit regretful.

Then, the little maid quickly pushed open the door, walked up to him, and said softly:

"Sorry, Mr. Guilliman, for making you wait."

"Lady Triss originally wanted to schedule another time to meet you."

"However, her guests also wanted to see you, so they discussed it for a while."

"Please follow me, Lady Triss and her guests are in the living room now, you can see her there."

Following behind the little maid, Guilliman entered Triss's residence and began to observe carefully.

As a sorceress born into a famous wealthy merchant family in Maribor and already established in her own right, Triss's family background was quite affluent.

Although her residence was not extremely vast, it was considered a mansion in this wealthy district.

Both the garden and the yard were filled with various precious flowers and plants, decorated exquisitely and beautifully, making one feel refreshed and delighted.

Upon entering the main house, golden, dazzling, and elegantly styled decorations, furniture, and tableware came into view, showcasing the sorceress's substantial family wealth. Clearly, she was also a well-off lady with a superior lifestyle, and her wealth was not inferior to that of an average noble.

Guilliman followed the maid through the door, walked down the corridor, and soon arrived at a spacious living room.

Immediately upon entering, he felt several beautiful pairs of eyes fall upon him, creating a considerable pressure, clearly indicating that the people were not ordinary.

Following these gazes, Guilliman raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Four women, each with different appearances but all exceptionally beautiful, sat in various postures on two sofas, all looking at him with great interest. Clearly, these were Triss and her guests, and they were all sorceresses.

Neither side spoke, only exchanging glances with slight smiles.

Feeling the somewhat strange atmosphere, Guilliman's thoughts raced. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was inwardly quite shocked.

He hadn't expected that a casual visit would lead him to encounter so many sorceresses.

Could it be that this place had already been taken over by the Lodge of Sorceresses?

However, very quickly, based on information from the game and character models, Guilliman soon identified the identities of several people by their features.

The woman with long red hair, appearing to be in her twenties, looking both cute and sensually alluring like a lover, should be Triss Merigold, the beloved Triss.

And on the other sofa, wearing an open-chested dress, adorned with a large string of various gemstone necklaces, revealing a large area of pale skin and two round hemispheres, with short light-gold hair, a petite figure, and a somewhat arrogant expression, should be Temeria's other Royal Advisor, Keira Metz.

As for the other one, sitting with Triss, with a beautiful appearance, pale skin, purple eyes, a head of black curly hair, wearing a black tight-fitting outfit that revealed her full and shapely figure, Guilliman speculated that she was Yennefer, who had recently been rescued by Geralt from the Wild Hunt and was currently suffering from amnesia.

He just didn't know why this sorceress, with the scent of lilac and gooseberries, was here at this time?

As for the last one.

Sitting with Keira, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a sweet smile on her face, delicate and sensual features, and very revealing clothing that showed almost half of her round, firm breasts and long, pale legs, possessing the most outstanding figure among the sorceresses.

He didn't know who she was?
