Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 184 Competition with the Skelliges

After receiving Queen Calanthe's consent, Wayne greeted Geralt, then got up and walked towards the table where Princess Pavela was.

Of course, it wasn't because the princess was too beautiful to make Master Wayne happy.

Rather, from the moment the princess entered the entire banquet hall, a strange magic power began to pervade the entire banquet hall. Geralt should have also vaguely noticed it, but only Wayne, who was wearing the ancient blood, really understood. Where does the power come from?

He walked slowly to the table where Princess Pavetta was sitting, and sat down opposite the beautiful princess without any ceremony. He sat opposite the princess.

Such a move immediately attracted the attention of several men at the same table. Apart from King East's warning eyes, his nephew Kratz almost stood up angrily.

From the moment Princess Pavetta appeared, this Skellige young man with the title of Boar of the Sea had hardly left his eyes on this beautiful princess, and the strong love in his eyes had almost turned into reality.

Perhaps in his heart, as the most competitive heir in the Skellige Islands, Princess Pavetta has become his default wife.

And Skellige Grand Druid Mossak, who was sitting on the far left of the table, looked at Wayne with a curious look.

The old druid was Geralt's friend, and he was the one who rescued the young Geralt during the Kaer Morhen massacre.

While others were still curious about Lavis of Four Corner City, he had already recognized the white wolf, and he was still guessing the purpose of the witcher here.

Not only that, as a good friend of Queen Calanthe and King East, the Archdruid had also vaguely felt the unusual atmosphere in the banquet, as well as the magic that began to pervade the banquet, and was also thinking in his heart. Countermeasures.

After Wayne sat down, Princess Pavita looked up at him curiously, and Wayne returned a smile to the princess without the slightest timidity. His handsome appearance and gentle smile naturally make people feel a little bit more. kind of goodwill.

Unfortunately, at this time, the 15-year-old princess of Sintra was full of thoughts and was always worried about the safety of Doni the hedgehog. She just nodded politely at Wayne, then lowered her eyes and fell into her own thoughts middle.

However, the interaction between the two immediately angered King East, who almost regarded Pavetta as his niece and daughter-in-law. He glared at Wayne, and said in a threatening tone:
"Young man, no matter what your relationship is with Ravix of Corner City Four, you seem to be sitting in the wrong place. Not everyone can sit on the seat at this table."

Faced with the threat of King Skellige, Wayne didn't care in his heart, not to mention that he basically didn't move in the Skellige Islands, so he didn't need to care about the other party's attitude. Moreover, he was not prepared to really attack Princess Pavela. Do something.

This is the mother of the future Daughter of Destiny, Ciri, and Ciri is estimated to have been in her belly for several months now.

But when it comes to this, I have to criticize the damn hedgehog Donnie, an old man in his 30s, who goes to the palace every night to hook up with other princesses. The princess has been pregnant for several months, she is a beast.

And this guy didn't have any good intentions in the first place. Maybe it was a good show directed and performed by the warlock behind him, Wei Ge, who was able to save King Rogner back then. He is also planning a conspiracy about the blood of the ancients.

In fact, Wayne also thought about whether to kill the hedgehog man directly in this banquet, but later, after consulting a lot of current information about the South, he gave up.

In fact, more than ten years ago, the Kingdom of Nilfgaard had begun to annex other small countries, expand its armaments, and develop its military strength. However, such news rarely circulated among the northern countries, and those who were still preparing for it The king of the north, who was constantly fighting for petty profits, paid little attention to news from the south.

This also led to the continuous expansion of the Nilfgaard Kingdom at an extremely rapid speed in the past few decades, and it became an empire with extremely powerful military power in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, in the future, even if there is no hedgehog boy jumping on the grave, the Civil War will inevitably break out.

It can even be said that it was precisely because the hedgehog man with great achievements failed many expeditions and squandered the national power accumulated by his father and even his grandfather that the powerful military empire of Nilfgaard declined rapidly.

The Civil War is the general trend of the future, and it cannot be stopped by killing one or two people. Moreover, even if the Civil War is stopped, it will not do any good to the demon hunters. Instead, killing the hedgehog man will make him become Ciri. Killing one's father and enemy is simply not worth the loss.

Wayne kept a smile on his face, looked up at the dark-skinned King East with a hooked nose, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty King East, please rest assured that I am not Princess Pavela's suitor, nor is your nephew's competitor. The reason why I am sitting here is because of the secret mission Queen Calanthe gave me."

As he said that, he looked at Kratz, the wild boar of the sea, who had been looking at him provocatively, slowly took out a few decks of Gwent cards from his pocket, and said with a smile:

"This cheerful banquet, if it's just drinking and eating meat, it would be too boring, why don't we play some interesting games?"

As the Skelliges who have been engaged in maritime plunder and maritime trade, they are no strangers to Gwent cards. This kind of game that can be played all day on the deck is the favorite of many captains.

Kratz, the Boar of the Sea, loved this approach, but the red-haired Skellige young man did not immediately accept the challenge. Instead, he first looked at Wayne with contempt, and then stretched out his muscular, strong and powerful body. With his right hand, he shouted provocatively:

"We Skelliges never play gwent with cowardly people. If we want to play gwent with me, we have to have a competition between men first."

"You can choose to have a drinking contest with me, or arm-wrestle with me. You don't need to be able to beat me. As long as you can hold on to my hand for 30 seconds, I will respect you as a warrior."

Hearing this, Wayne looked at the wild boar of the sea with a strange expression, wrestling arms and drinking with a demon hunter like him.

It can only be said, young man, you have narrowed the road, not to mention that his physical fitness is also the top among demon hunters, four or five times higher than ordinary people. The experience of drinking high-alcohol potion as a beverage can only imagine how much he drinks now.

Of course, the reason why Kratz said this is most likely because Wayne's current attire does not show the characteristics of his witcher, making him look like a strong and handsome human boy.

In order to show off his masculinity in front of Princess Pavetta, this wild boar of the sea made such a bet.

As Kratz shouted, the Skellig young people behind him immediately gathered around, booing and irritating Wayne with provocative words.

Since these people are so deadly, Wayne is not used to them. The smile on his face remains the same. He turns his head to look at King East's face. Seeing that the king is also proud, he is obviously very satisfied with his nephew's strength. Confident, so Wayne said to Kratz and the young people behind him:

"No problem, I've always heard that Skellige's warriors are enthusiastic and forthright men."

"Since you have proposed a challenge, of course I will not refuse, but the separate competition of drinking and arm wrestling is too boring, and it is not manly enough."

"Well, let's have two competitions together. For everyone who wants to wrestle with me, we will drink a large bowl of spirits first, and then try to wrestle arms. Those who lose will be punished with a large bowl. Until someone on both sides falls."

Speaking of which, Wayne smiled and added:

"And every time we compete, we have to take out a hundred gold coins as a bet. Until the last winner is left on the field, all the prize money will belong to this person."

"Well, isn't this more interesting?"

All the people present are not fools. The conditions of this kind of competition must be that those who participate in the competition at the end will gain the most advantage, and those who participate in the competition first will suffer the most.

Before Kratz could speak, one of his captains immediately said loudly:

"I'll challenge you first!"

As soon as he finished yelling, a Skellige man immediately handed over two large bowls of spirits, and brought a small purse containing one hundred gold coins, and threw them on the table.

Wayne chuckled and did not refuse the captain's challenge. He took a large money bag filled with several hundred gold coins from his belt and placed it on the table. Without counting the gold coins, he threw it directly into the bet.

Such a heroic action immediately aroused whispers from the people of Skellige, apparently a little shocked by Wayne's generous temperament and confident behavior.

But no matter what others thought, Wayne casually picked up a large bowl of strong liquor and drank it in one gulp as if drinking cold water. Then he stretched out his right arm and raised his eyes to signal to the man opposite that the game could start at any time.

As the Skelliges who have been driving ships at sea all year round and making a living by plundering, they are all very confident in their own strength. Without enough strength, how can they control the sails and hold the rudder tightly on the sea.

The captain didn't hesitate at all, and immediately stretched out his right arm, touching Wayne's right arm.

He straddled the horse with both feet and held one hand on the table. His muscles were tense, and he obviously took this arm wrestling match very seriously. Opposite him, Wayne was sitting on a chair in a casual posture. There was always a gentle smile on his face, and he seemed not to take the strong captain seriously.

And such a gesture, in addition to making some people feel dissatisfied, it also made some people feel bad.

As a Skellige called for the start of the game, the strong captain opposite Wayne immediately let out a shout, with veins bulging on his forehead, without any reservation, he squeezed Wayne's wrist with all his strength and pressed down hard.

His companions also cheered him up loudly, pushing the atmosphere to a climax in an instant, causing all the guests around to look at them.

However, they kept shouting for 30 seconds until the captain's eyes widened, his face was flushed, his thick arms trembled slightly, and the arm of Wayne next to him did not move at all, not even trembling. No.

Tens of seconds later, Wayne comfortably picked up a glass of red wine with the other hand, raised his head and drank it down, and then looked at the strong Skelligers whose expressions had become dignified with confident and indifferent eyes.

Then the right arm was slowly pressed down, and the captain's right arm, which was already flushed with muscles all over his body, was slowly pressed onto the table, and in a crushing posture, he won the first competition.

Seeing this scene, not only King East and Kratz the Sea Boar, but also the Skellige envoys who were watching all realized that their opponent was not simple.

However, the Skellige people have a tenacious character and are brave enough to challenge any difficulties. Being able to conquer the sea with courage and experience in the Middle Ages, when navigation technology was underdeveloped, is enough to illustrate the character of this nation.

With the defeat of the original captain, the rest of the Skellige mission did not flinch, and one by one they all challenged Wayne.

In this regard, Wayne also unceremoniously agreed to all of them. He drank bowl after bowl of spirits, using the most primitive strength one by one to defeat those strong men of Skellige, until the money on the wine table The bags piled up into a small pile, and after nearly [-] gold coins, almost all the Skellige envoys on the opposite side were defeated by him, leaving only King East and Kratz who did not compete with him. Pass.

After drinking more than a dozen bowls of spirits in a row, even Wayne's super-strong physique felt slightly smoky, and the act of defeating more than a dozen strong Skelligers in a row made everyone in the banquet hall stare. Gathering around him, even Princess Pavela, who had been silent all this time, secretly looked at this handsome young man, Wayne, with curious eyes.

In fact, at this point, there is no need to compete again. Everyone knows that even if King East and Kratz end, they cannot be Wayne's opponents, and those from the Sintra vassal state and their own country Many princes even smiled, waiting for Wayne to embarrass the two great nobles of Skellige.

It's a pity, of course, it is impossible for Master Wayne to do this. Defeating more than a dozen Skelliges in a row has already made the envoys feel embarrassed. If King East and Kratz lose face again, it is very likely to affect the Queen Calanthe's plan.

At this moment, he could even feel the sword-like eyes on his back wandering over his neck, and the owner of the eyes was Queen Calanthe who was sitting on the main seat.

Facing the dignified eyes of King East and Kratz's uncle and nephew, Wayne suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand and took the money bag on the table to his body, then retracted his arm, and put the two quilts at the beginning. The special card was taken out again, and he said to the two Skellige nobles:
"The warriors of Skellige are indeed brave and enthusiastic men. They all have an amazing capacity for drinking. After drinking so much in a row, I'm already a little drunk."

"Your Majesty East, Mr. Kratz, why don't we stop wrestling with each other and play a few games of Gwent together?"

Saying that, Wayne blinked at Princess Pavela who was secretly watching him, and said with a smile:

"Presumably, the beautiful Princess Pavela has never played this kind of game. It is just for Her Royal Highness to learn this game. After learning this game, it will definitely add a lot of fun to the boring life in the future."

Hearing what the dominant Wayne said, the quick-minded King East immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said to the young Skelliger behind him:

"Well, what Mr. Wayne said is right, let's stop here for the rude competition of drinking capacity and strength."

"Today is the day when Princess Pavela chooses a relative. It is the celebration of the Kingdom of Sintra. We should play some civilized games."

As he spoke, King East looked at Wayne with a complicated expression in his eyes, but with a smile on his face, he said:
"Come on, Wayne, I'm a well-known Gwent player in Skellige."

"Let's play a game first to see who has more skill."
