Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

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 living room in the castle, he was richly dressed and had a gloomy expression. He was accompanied by two armed attendants and several chamberlain ministers.

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

"Are you Wayne the Witcher?"

The king's voice was hoarse and low. His daughter and wife had always been the biggest pain point in his heart. Now the daughter who was supposed to be dead has actually resurrected and become a bloodthirsty monster, becoming a huge hidden danger in the old city of Vizima. .

Even the construction of a new city by Vizima and the relocation of the palace from its old site are all closely related to this matter.

It is precisely because of this that even now, this matter is still 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.

This attitude made Foltest a little surprised, but he also felt a little more confident in his heart. At least if a person can be so calm when facing the king, he should have some ability.

"I don't know what the Wolf School is, but I have been hearing about the legend of demon hunters since I was a child."

"Unlike those prejudiced and short-sighted people, I know very well that you are all experts in dealing with monsters. You have rich experience and will show no mercy."

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

Foltest's expression didn't change much. He stared closely at Wayne's eyes and said word by word:

"I hope you can tell me, how sure are you about this matter and about lifting the curse of the vampire bird?"

Seeing King Foltest's serious attitude, Wayne also suppressed his smile and replied with a serious attitude:

"If I were alone, I would be about 60% sure. But if His Majesty the King gives me support and allows me to make some arrangements, then I should be 90% sure."

"But don't worry, Your Majesty the King, even if the curse of the vampire 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 killing 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 knows nothing about the outside world and lets others fool him. 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 and benefit himself.

The sorceresses are more obedient to the arrangements of the Sorcerer Brotherhood. Compared to being loyal to the king, they are obviously more inclined to the former. Therefore, Foltest does not completely trust Triss and others.

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

"I want to watch the whole process of the curse being lifted and see my daughter become a human again."

Of course, Wayne could not agree with the king's request, not to mention that it would expose his own strength and secrets, and as a king, if he encountered any danger, not only would it not be beneficial to everyone, but it would be a huge hidden danger. .

So he shook his head and refused bluntly:

"This is impossible, Your Majesty the King. I am still confident of dealing with the vampire bird alone, but if you are present, I will have to distract myself from taking care of you."

"In that case, there is a high chance that something unexpected will happen and I will have to kill your daughter."

Seeing Foltest still looking at him silently, Wayne continued:

"Well, Your Majesty the King, while I am lifting the curse on the vampire bird, you can stay outside the tomb with Ms. Triss and wait for my good news."

"Although I don't recommend that you go see the ugly vampire bird before it lifts the curse, but if you insist on seeing it, I can make arrangements for it."

The two sides faced off for about a minute or two, and seemed to realize that Wayne would no longer give in. King Foltest sighed softly, turned his head to look at the burning fireplace, and after a few seconds of being in a daze, he felt a little sad. asked:

"Wayne, you demon hunters are experts on monsters, and you know the curse of the vampire bird far better than ordinary people."

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

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

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

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

He shook his head and said bluntly:

"Your Majesty, the birth of the vampire demon bird comes from a curse, from huge resentment. This is not a natural curse, but someone used a special method to place a vicious curse on your daughter."

"What happened between you and your sister is not vicious at all, nor is it something evil between two people who love each other."

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

Foltest was stunned when he heard this, and then he became furious, and his originally gloomy eyes became extremely fierce. Regarding the matter of his daughter and wife, he always thought that it was his fault, and never thought that in this matter In addition, there is actually a real murderer, and he has been at large.

When he thought of his daughter dying at the hands of others and being cursed to become a monster, Foltest's heart surged with infinite anger. 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 to die, but was cursed to death."

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

"Yes, His Majesty the King, and this person must be very knowledgeable about the palace and has access to palace affairs. Otherwise, he would not have this opportunity to release the curse."

As he spoke, Wayne changed the subject and said calmly:

"And His Majesty the King, you don't need to be too anxious. His involvement in this vampire bird incident should have led to it developing 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 filled with anger, he was still able to remain calm after listening to Wayne's speech. He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat. 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 next, you can restore my daughter to a human appearance 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."

After leaving the living room where she was chatting with the king, Triss and several ministers had been waiting in the corridor. When they saw Wayne coming out, the sorceress immediately took the initiative to greet him, 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 bird was almost the same as what he saw in the original work, which was that the vampire bird must be driven away from its coffin and allowed to stay outside the coffin until dawn.

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