Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 172 Foltest's Wrath

The next day, Vizima Palace.

Under the leadership of Triss, Wayne successfully met the king of Temeria.

King Foltest was a handsome middle-aged nobleman. When the two met in a drawing room in the castle, he was richly dressed and had a gloomy expression, accompanied by two armed servants and several inner court ministers.

After seeing Wayne, he ignored the dissuasion of others, and drove Triss and the others out of the living room, leaving only Wayne and him sitting by the fireplace facing each other.

"Are you the Witcher Wayne?"

The king's voice was hoarse and deep. His daughter and his wife had always been the biggest pain point in his heart. Now his daughter who was supposed to die was resurrected and became a bloodthirsty monster. It became a huge hidden danger in the old city of Vizima. .

Even the construction of a new city in Vizima and the removal of the royal palace from the old site are inseparable from this matter.

It is precisely because of this that even now, this matter is a very important entanglement in the king's heart.

Even if everyone in the kingdom opposed it, he remained firm in his determination to save his daughter.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King, I come from Kaer Morhen and am a witcher of the Wolf School."

Wayne had a polite smile on his face and a calm voice, as if he was not a king in front of him, but just a person who could communicate normally.

Such an attitude made Foltest a little surprised, but he also felt a little more confident in his heart. At least one person can behave so calmly when facing the king, so he should still have some skills.

"I don't know what the Wolf School is, but I've heard the legend of the witcher since I was a child."

"Unlike those who are biased and short-sighted, I know very well that you are all experts in dealing with monsters, with rich experience, and you will never show mercy."

"But I think Advisor Triss should have told you the secret of this matter, and you should also understand who you are going to deal with."

Foltest's expression didn't change much, his eyes were fixed on Wayne's, and he said word by word:

"I hope you can tell me how sure you are about lifting the curse of the vampire demon bird?"

Seeing King Foltest's serious attitude, Wayne also restrained his smile, and replied with a serious attitude:
"If it's me alone, I'm about [-]% sure, but if His Majesty the King gives me support so that I can make some arrangements, then I should be [-]% sure."

"But rest assured, Your Majesty, even if the curse of the vampire demon bird is not successfully lifted, I will not harm her life. My purpose is just to control her and prevent her from causing more chaos and killings in Vizima. That's all."

Foltest was silent for a few seconds after hearing this. Wayne's answer exceeded his expectations, whether it was whether he could lift the curse on her daughter or whether he could control the vampire bird to prevent it from causing more harm to Vizima. He could accept both consequences of killing more people.

But King Foltest is not the kind of king who is ignorant of the outside world and can be fooled by others. He knows very well that in the Kingdom of Temeria, there are countless nobles who want to wait for him to make a fool of himself. Waiting to weaken the imperial power for his own benefit.

The sorceresses are more obedient to the arrangements of the Warlock Brotherhood, and they are obviously more inclined to the former than their loyalty to the king. Therefore, Foltest does not completely trust Triss and the others.

After thinking for tens of seconds, the king put forward his own conditions.

"I want to watch the whole process of the lifting of the curse, and see my daughter transform back into a human being with my own eyes."

Of course, Wayne could not agree with the king's request, not to mention that it would expose his strength and secrets, and as the king, if he encountered any danger, it would not only be of no benefit to everyone, but would be a great hidden danger .

So he shook his head and refused directly:
"It's impossible, Your Majesty, I'm sure I can deal with the vampire demon bird alone, but if you are present, I will take care of you."

"In that case, there may be an accident, and I will have to kill your daughter."

Seeing Foltest still looking at him silently, Wayne continued:

"How about this, Your Majesty, while I lift the curse on the vampire demon bird, you and Ms. Triss can stay outside the tomb together and wait for my good news."

"Although I don't recommend letting you see the ugly appearance of the vampire demon bird before the curse is lifted, but if you insist on seeing it, I can make arrangements for it."

The two sides confronted each other for about a minute or two. It seemed that they realized that Wayne would not give in to this. King Foltest sighed softly, turned his head to look at the burning fireplace, and after being in a daze for a few seconds, he felt a little sad. asks:
"Wayne, you demon hunters are experts in monsters, and you understand the curse of vampire demon birds far better than ordinary people."

"Many people say that the reason why my child died at birth, and now he has turned into a bloodthirsty monster, is because of the love affair between me and my sister Adda."

"Is it true that she is cursed because of what we did?"

"Is it really because of me and Adda that my daughter died at birth and turned into a monster?"

Wayne thought about it for a few seconds. As someone who had read the original book and played the game, he knew far more about this matter than the king himself.

He shook his head, then said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, the birth of the vampire demon bird came from a curse, from great resentment. This is not a natural curse, but someone used a special method to cast a vicious curse on your daughter."

"The matter between you and your sister is not vicious at all, and two people who love each other are not harmful."

"There is a real culprit in this incident. He killed your daughter and cursed her into a monster."

Foltest was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, and then flew into a rage, his originally gloomy eyes became extremely fierce. Regarding the matter of his daughter and wife, he always thought it was his fault, and never thought that in this matter In addition, there is actually a real murderer who has been at large.

Thinking of his daughter dying at the hands of others and being cursed into a monster, Foltest felt infinite anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth, stared at Wayne, and said seriously :

"Is everything you said true, witcher."

"Are you sure that my daughter was not born dead but was cursed to death?"

Wayne's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded seriously, and said in a confident tone:

"Yes, Your Majesty, and this person must be someone who knows the palace quite well and has access to court affairs. Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to release the curse."

As he spoke, Wayne changed the subject and said calmly:
"Also, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The incident of the vampire demon bird should also have his participation to develop into what it is now."

"If you will have a demon hunter who is very sure to lift the curse, and accidentally reveal it to some people in the court."

"This murderer is very likely to jump out on his own initiative and prevent me from lifting the curse. At that time, I will be sure to find the murderer and solve this matter completely."

Although Foltest's heart was full of anger, he was still able to remain calm after hearing Wayne's speech. He tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, and after thinking about it for dozens of seconds, he looked at Wayne solemnly, and then said:
"I am very shocked by your news, witcher."

"Although I still can't fully trust you, I think I can try your method."

"If in the future, you can restore my daughter to a human form and help me catch the murderer, as a father and a husband, I owe you a favor, and you will definitely be rewarded heavily."

"Even if you want to become a nobleman and obtain a fief, I can promise you."

Leaving the living room where she was talking with the king, Triss and several ministers had been waiting in the corridor. When Wayne came out, the sorceress immediately greeted her, as if she wanted to say something.

Wayne shook his head slightly at her, and then told her in her ear that after talking in detail at night, he left the palace of Vizima.

The method to lift the curse of the vampire demon bird is almost the same as what he saw from the original book, that is, to drive the vampire demon bird out of its coffin and let it stay outside the coffin until dawn.

In order to achieve this goal, Wayne must make some preparations in advance.
