Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 182 The Beautiful Queen Calanthe
"I came all the way from Vizima, and I didn't expect to see you in prison, Geralt, you always surprise me!"

After rescuing Geralt and Dandelion from prison, Wayne seized the opportunity and immediately said in a teasing tone:
"As a demon hunter, the well-known White Wolf Geralt was caught by the city guards who rushed over when he was fighting with ordinary people."

"Hey, if you tell Lambert and Eskel about this, they will definitely be very interested."

As a senior, even the thick-skinned Geralt couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed by being teased by the junior he brought out. He looked at Dandelion, who was whistling as if it had nothing to do with him, and immediately blamed him said:
"It's all Dandelion's fault. After this guy got into trouble, he came to drink with me. As a result, someone brought a group of people over to make trouble, but he was already as drunk as a dead body. Let me take the blame."

"It's impossible for me to leave him and run away. The city guards surrounded us by attacking him."

Wayne guessed that this was probably the case, so he glanced at Dandelion, who had been in jail for three days and looked quite embarrassed.

Facing the stares of the two demon hunters, the poet student was also a little embarrassed. He pretended that he still had a lute in his hand, and after playing a few times in the void, he defended and said:

"It's not really my fault. Mrs. Levita didn't expect her husband to come back in the afternoon. Although I explained to her husband that we were just practicing opera, the rude man didn't believe me at all."

"No one would have thought that he would find a group of mercenaries to harm a bard. It's really barbaric."

When Geralt heard this, he didn't save Dandelion any face, and said in a mocking tone:

"If any man comes home and sees his wife practicing opera in bed with a bard, and doesn't beat you to death on the spot, he is already sensible enough."

Dandelion knew he was wrong and blushed a little, but he still defended:

"We are discussing opera for the sake of art. Ordinary people don't understand things about artists."

Sure enough, this guy had a married woman. Wayne didn't even bother to complain. He took the two of them back to the hotel where Geralt rented. They were imprisoned for three days and both of them were very hungry. , no matter how rough the food in this hotel was, I immediately ate and drank a lot.

After drinking and eating, Wayne formally asked Geralt about the details of the commission.

Who knows, Geralt shook his head and said:

"I don't know the specifics. Yennefer and I have been staying in Novigrad for the past few months, but suddenly we received an invitation from Queen Calanthe of Sintra, saying that there is a commission that I need to carry out. , the content is to ensure the normal holding of a banquet."

"Yennefer didn't stop me from carrying out this royal commission, and asked me to invite you to carry it out, so I sent you that letter before I left."

Having said this, Geralt glanced at Dandelion helplessly and continued:

"Who knew that after coming here, Queen Calanthe didn't plan to see me at all, and asked me to enter the castle where the banquet was held on the morning of the banquet."

"But when I was wandering around the city, I met this guy Dandelion, and you know what happened next."

Wayne nodded when he heard the words, and tilted his head to look at Dandelion. He didn't know how this guy came to Sintra. According to his impression, in the original story, he attended this banquet.There was a bard, but not Dandelion, who hadn't even graduated from college.

Seeing Wayne looking towards him, the poet classmate immediately smiled and picked up the lute that the hotel owner had put away for him. Barabara talked about the prelude to a piece of music, and said without waiting for Wayne to ask:

"I heard the news from a noble friend, the beautiful Princess Sintra, Princess Paveta's marriage selection banquet."

"If any man is lucky enough to be chosen by Princess Pavetta, then he has a great chance to directly become the king of Sintra and rule this powerful country."

"How could I be absent from such a grand occasion?"

After Dandelion finished speaking, Geralt immediately said mockingly, saying:
"Dandrian, Princess Pavetta's marriage selection banquet this time is not an ordinary party held by a noble family."

"The location of this banquet is in the royal palace of Sintra. Without the invitation letter of the banquet, you can't get in."

Unexpectedly, when Dandelion heard the words, he immediately smiled triumphantly, played a piece of Skellige-style music with the lute in his hand, and said:
"Don't underestimate me, Geralt. The main target of Princess Pavetta's marriage banquet this time is the child of the lord's family of the Skellige Islands, or a certain prince from the vassal state of Sintra. This is an alliance. and a political marriage."

"I have established a good relationship with Skellige's group of noble youths. They are very happy to have a bard who can play Skellige's music to join them in this banquet."

"If you don't have a banquet invitation, I can even take you to the banquet to enjoy a delicious meal."

In this regard, Wayne shrugged. Dandelion's communication skills have always been very strong, and he can always make friends with many people. This is one of the reasons why he can appear on various important occasions.

After listening to the explanations of the two, Wayne looked at Geralt and asked bluntly:

"So, Geralt, when will the banquet be held? And in what capacity are you attending the banquet?"

Geralt squinted his eyes and took a sip of the low-quality beer in the tavern. His ability to spend money should not be underestimated. After only a few months of seeing each other, he had already spent almost all the huge rewards he received from Wayne, most of which Part of it was donated to brothels in the north.

"Queen Calanthe arranged for me to be Lavis of Four Horn City, an unknown nobleman. Then you can serve as my attendant and attend the banquet with me."

As Geralt's voice fell, Wayne's ears finally heard the system prompt of the mission.

Ding!The task is triggered, [Princess's Marriage Selection Banquet], master level, do you want to accept the task?

After hearing the system prompt, Wayne was not in a hurry to watch the content of the mission. He looked at the surrounding environment of the hotel with some disgust, then stood up, and said to Dandelion and Geralt:
"Let's go, then change to a better hotel. This kind of place is not like a place where nobles would live."

………………

Not to mention how the two people brought by Master Wayne spent the night in Sintra in style. On the day of the banquet, Dandelion ran to Skellige's noble group by himself, and Skellige's The young nobleman joins forces and sneaks into the banquet.

Wayne followed Geralt and entered the palace of Cintra with the invitation letter for the banquet.

Because they were accompanied by Wayne this time, the two had already tidied up their images in the best barber shop and clothing store in the city before attending the banquet.

So even though Haxel, the palace manager, looked around them for a long time, he didn't find any faults. In the end, he just took out two exquisite and luxurious noble coats and handed them over to Geralt and Wayne. On the chest, there are also special noble badges sewn with golden needles and threads, showing their noble status.

The Royal Palace of Sintra is a luxurious castle built on the ruins of elves. The overall reference to the style of human architecture is strong and beautiful.

When Wayne and Geralt entered the luxurious banquet hall under the leadership of the chief executive, Haxo, they succeeded in meeting the most powerful woman in the country, Queen Calanthe, at the main seat of the banquet hall.

This is a tall, glamorous woman, different from most noble ladies. Even at this kind of noble banquet, Queen Calanthe still wears a suit of exquisite armor similar to an evening dress. Looking into the interlocutor's eyes, from eyes to demeanor, every move reveals a tenacity and self-confidence, which really lives up to the reputation of the lioness.

Although the queen is already a widow in her 30s, her beauty is still popular in the northern kingdom, and she is highly sought after by many nobles. Her beauty is also known for her bravery and iron fist.

It is said that when the queen was 14 years old, her father had passed away. Calantha came to the throne at the age of 14, and at the age of 15, she led the army to defeat Nasser's army in the Battle of Haochebuz , while winning the first battle in his life, he also won the nickname "The Lioness of Sintra".

It is a pity that there is no queen in the laws of the Kingdom of Sintra. If a woman wants to be in charge, she must marry a man. Even with a strong and iron-blooded character like Queen Calanthe, she cannot violate the law of the country. Law, at the age of 17, married the handsome former king, the Duke of Rogner de Salm.

After that, although the Duke of Rogner became the king on the surface, the actual power of the country was still in the hands of Queen Calanthe.

In order to maintain the power of the country in the hands of her own family, Queen Calanther has always wanted to give birth to a son, but God refused. After giving birth to Princess Paveta, Queen Calanther had two miscarriages. Finally lost fertility.

And precisely because of this, King Rogner began to pursue other fertile women, which put Queen Calanthe's position in jeopardy.

As a result, it didn't take long for King Rogner to die suddenly. As for whether it was due to an accident or man-made, it is unknown.

And it is precisely because of the struggle for power between the noble council and Queen Calanthe that Princess Pavetta was forced to hold a wedding at the age of 15 to re-select a male king for the country. .

Recalling the information obtained from the well-informed Dandelion, Wayne and Geralt, led by the head of the palace, came to Queen Calanthe.

After giving a slight salute, Queen Calanthe retreated from the entourage around her. She first looked at Geralt seriously for a few seconds, then looked at Wayne behind him, and then asked with some confusion:
"White Wolf Geralt, I should have only invited you here alone. Who is this young man behind you?"

Hearing this, Geralt still used his normal expression of facial paralysis, and said in a hoarse voice:

"This is my companion, the demon hunter Wayne, who is also a powerful demon hunter with superb swordsmanship."

Queen Calanthe frowned slightly, and looked at Wayne's handsome but immature face, as if she didn't trust Wayne's strength.

But soon, the queen eliminated the redundant thoughts in her mind, nodded to Wayne and Geralt, then pointed to the two seats beside her, and said:

"Two witchers? That's fine, it's safer."

"After the banquet starts, the two of you will sit by my side and act according to my orders at any time."

"When I tell you to do it, do it immediately."

Hearing this, Geralt was not afraid of Queen Calanthe's power at all, and said directly:
"We demon hunters have our own standards of conduct, and we will not obey other people's orders."

"If your order violates our principles, please forgive me for not doing so."

Hearing Geralt's blunt answer, Wayne, who was standing behind him, almost couldn't help covering his forehead and laughing out loud.

Geralt deserved to be Geralt. I am afraid that in the middle ages when the aristocratic power was the most powerful, only a person like him dared to openly disobey the king's order, and he did not hesitate at all.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of the principles that White Wolf insists in his heart that he can always make the right choices and become the protagonist of the story that many people like very much.

If it were him to do it, even if he wanted to refuse, he would never choose such a blunt, conflict-prone way.

Sure enough, after hearing Geralt's blunt answer, Queen Calanthe stared at her beautiful eyes, and a trace of anger appeared on her beautiful face, as if she was an irritated lioness, and said:

"You are angering a royal nobleman, demon hunter, as long as I give an order, your body will be carried out by my guards."

"I pay for it, and you do the work. You don't need to worry about what I ask you to do. This is the attitude you should have when facing an employer."

If she was facing someone else, she might have been frightened by the queen's aura. Unfortunately, she was facing Geralt, who was soft-hearted but not hard-working. The famous White Wolf just shrugged and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Then you should invite a mercenary to this banquet, not a demon hunter."

"Only those who take money to do things will obey the orders of their employers like dogs."

After hearing Geralt's answer, even Wayne behind him felt that this guy really deserved to be beaten, not to mention that there were not many people who dared to resist her Queen Calanthe.

Seeing the queen's plump breasts rising and falling, she looked very angry. Wayne, who was afraid that she would suddenly kill him, immediately walked up to Geralt, smiled and said to the queen:
"Dear Queen Calanthe, please forgive Geralt's rudeness."

"As a witcher, our duty is to protect good people who are harmed by monsters."

"As long as this principle is not violated, many things are negotiable."

Hearing this, Calanthe took another serious look at the handsome young witcher in front of him, and then gave Geralt a hard look. Just as he was about to say something, the guard guarding the gate of the banquet hall Suddenly shouted loudly:
"Friend of the royal family of Cintra, King Ester Tursek of Skellige arrives."
