Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

"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 but feel a little embarrassed when the junior he brought out was teased like this. He looked at Dandelion, who was whistling as if it didn't matter to him, and immediately put the blame away. said:

"It's all Dandelion's fault. After this guy caused trouble, he came to drink with me. As a result, someone else came with a group of people to cause trouble, but he was already as drunk as a dead corpse, so I took the blame."

"There's no way I could just leave him and run away. After beating him, the city guards surrounded us."

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.

Faced with the gazes of the two demon hunters, the poet classmate was also a little embarrassed. He pretended that he still had a lute in his hand. After playing it in the air a few times, he defended himself and said:

"Actually, you can't blame me. 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 so barbaric."

When Geralt heard this, he did not save any face for Dandelion and said in a mocking tone:

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

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

"We are doing it for art, and we are discussing opera. 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 also formally asked Geralt about the details of this commission.

Who knows what the outcome will be. Geralt shook his head and said:

"I don't know the specific situation. 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 was a commission that I needed 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 even asked me to invite you to carry it out, so I sent you that letter before I set off."

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

"Who would have known that after arriving here, Queen Calanthe was not prepared to see me at all, and even 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 this and tilted his head to look at Dandelion. He didn't know how this guy came to Cintra. He had the impression that in the original story, he attended this banquet. There was indeed a bard, but it was not Dandelion, who had not even graduated from college.

When the poet classmate saw Wayne looking towards him, he immediately smiled, picked up the lute that the hotel owner had put away for him, and talked about the prelude of a piece of music. Without waiting for Wayne to ask, he took the initiative and said:

"I heard the news from a noble friend, the beautiful Princess Cintra, Princess Pavetta's wedding party."

"If any man is lucky enough to be chosen by Princess Pavetta, then he has a high chance of directly becoming the king of Cintra and ruling this powerful country."

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

When Dandelion finished speaking, Geralt immediately said mockingly:

"Dandilion, this Princess Pavetta's wedding party is not an ordinary party held by a noble family."

"This banquet will be held at the Royal Palace in Sintra. If you don't have an invitation to the banquet, you won't be able to get in."

Unexpectedly, when Dandelion heard this, he immediately smiled proudly, played a Skellige-style music with the lute in his hand, and said:

"Don't underestimate me, Geralt. The main target of Princess Pavetta's wedding banquet this time is the child of the lord of the Skellig Islands, or a prince from the Cintra vassal country. This is a competition for the purpose of forming an alliance. political marriage."

"I have already established a relationship with the young nobles of Skellig. They are happy to have a bard who can play Skellig music attend this banquet with them."

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

In response, 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 men, Wayne looked at Geralt and asked bluntly:

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

"The identity that Queen Calanthe has arranged for me is that of Ravix, an unknown noble from the Four Corners City. When the time comes, you can act 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 mission is triggered, [Princess's Marriage Selection Banquet], Master Level. Do you want to accept the mission?

After hearing the system prompt, Wayne did not rush to watch the content of the mission. He looked at the environment around the hotel with some disgust, then stood up and said to Dandelion and Geralt:

"Let's go, then find a better hotel. This kind of place is not like a place where a noble would live."

………………

Not to mention how the two people led by Mr. Wayne spent the night in Cintra. On the day of the banquet, Dandelion himself went to Skellig’s noble group and met with Skellig’s group. The young nobles teamed up and sneaked into the banquet.

Wayne followed Geralt and entered the palace of Cintra with an invitation to the banquet.

Because Wayne was accompanying them this time, the two of them had already cleaned up their appearance at the best barber shop and clothing store in the city before attending the banquet.

So even though Haxo, 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 jackets and handed them to Geralt and Wayne. On the chest, there are special noble badges sewn with golden needlework, showing their noble status.

The Royal Palace of Sintra is a luxurious castle built on elven ruins. The overall style refers to the style of human architecture, which is strong and beautiful.

When Wayne and Geralt entered the luxurious banquet hall under the leadership of the steward Haxor, they successfully met the most powerful woman in the country, Queen Calanthe, at the head seat of the banquet hall.

This is a tall, beautiful woman. Unlike most aristocratic ladies, even at this kind of aristocratic banquet, Queen Calanthe still wears an exquisite armor similar to an evening dress. Every time she speaks, she speaks directly. Looking into the eyes of the interlocutor, from the eyes to the behavior, every move reveals a temperament of tenacity and confidence, which indeed lives up to the reputation of the lioness.

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

It is said that when the queen was fourteen years old, her father had died. Calanthe ascended the throne at the age of fourteen. At the age of fifteen, she led the army to defeat Nasai in the Battle of Hauchebuz. Er's army, while winning the first battle in their lives, also received the nickname "The Lioness of Sintra".

It is a pity that there is no queen in the laws of the Kingdom of Cintra. If a woman wants to take charge of power, then she must marry a man. Even with a strong and iron-blooded character like Queen Calanthe, she cannot violate the country. At the age of seventeen, she married the handsome former king, the Duke Rogna de Salme.

After that, although Duke Rognar became the apparent king, 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 family, Queen Calanthe has always wanted to give birth to a son. However, God did not follow her wishes. After giving birth to Princess Pavetta, Queen Calanthe miscarried twice. Finally, fertility was lost.

And precisely because of this, King Rognar began to pursue other women with childbearing potential, which put Queen Calanthe's status in jeopardy.

As a result, King Rognar died suddenly not long after. Whether it was due to an accident or man-made death is unknown.

It was precisely because of the struggle for power between the Noble Council and Queen Calanthe that Princess Pavetta was forced to hold a marriage selection banquet at the age of fifteen to choose a new male king for this country. grand event.

Recalling the information obtained from the well-informed Dandelion, Wayne and Geralt, led by the palace steward, 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 invited you alone. Who is this young man behind you?"

When Geralt heard this, he still had the paralyzed expression on his face when he was working normally, and said in a hoarse voice:

"This is my companion, Demon Hunter Wayne. He is also a demon hunter with superb swordsmanship and powerful strength."

Queen Calanthe frowned slightly and looked at Wayne's handsome yet immature face, seemingly distrustful of Wayne's strength.

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

"Two demon hunters? That's fine, it's safer this way."

"After the banquet begins, you two will sit next to me and act according to my orders at any time."

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

When Geralt heard this, he was not afraid of Queen Calanthe's power and said directly:

"We demon hunters have our own standards of conduct and will not obey other people's orders."

"If your order goes against our principles, please forgive me and I cannot do that."

Listening to Geralt's tough answer, Wayne, who was standing behind him, almost couldn't help but cover his forehead and burst into laughter.

Geralt is indeed Geralt. I am afraid that in the Middle Ages, when the aristocracy was the most powerful, only people like him dared to openly disobey the king's orders without any hesitation.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of the principles that Bai Lang adheres to that he has always been able to make the right choices and become the protagonist of the story that many people like very much.

If it were him, even if he wanted to refuse, he would not choose such a blunt and conflict-prone method.

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

"You are angering a royal noble, Demon Hunter. As long as I give the order, your body will be carried out by my guards."

"I pay 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 towards your employer."

If she were facing someone else, she might be frightened by the queen's aura. Unfortunately, she was facing Geralt, who was soft-spoken but not tough. The famous white wolf just shrugged and said in an indifferent tone:

"Then you should invite a mercenary to this party, not a witcher."

"Only those who are paid 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 a beating, not to mention that not many people had ever dared to resist her Queen Calanthe.

Seeing the queen's plump breasts rising and falling, looking very angry, Wayne, who was afraid of her sudden attack, immediately walked up to Geralt, smiled and said to the queen:

"Dear Queen Calanthe, please forgive Geralt for his rudeness."

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

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

After hearing this, Calanthe once again took a serious look at the young and handsome demon hunter in front of him, and then glared at Geralt fiercely. Just when he was about to say something more, the guards guarding the door of the banquet hall Suddenly he shouted loudly:

"Friend of the royal family of Cintra, King Est Tursek of Skellige has arrived."
