Chapter 335: Audience
"Of all the demons I've encountered, the creature Wild Hunt can only be used as the bottom of the game. "www.biquge.info Edward said, "I'd be a little disappointed if the Wild Hunt in this world was all there was to it. ”
Geralt and Yennefer glanced at each other. Although Edward's tone was very arrogant, combined with the strength he had just shown, it seemed to be true?
"But you're only one person. Yennefer was still a little unconvinced, "And the wild hunt is not only these lowest-level soldiers, our understanding of them is only at the level of the surface. Mr. Edward, I advise you to put away your contempt and take your future enemies seriously. ”
Edward smiled and didn't retort. With Hermione not yet found, he had no intention of leaving a legacy of demon hunters in this world.
Next, the three of them did not speak, and after a journey, they came to the royal castle of Vijma.
There wasn't much to say about this royal castle, it was the same as any castle Edward had ever seen, except that it was larger and more ornate, and it was heavily guarded by guards.
Once the three Edwards had arrived, they were taken away by the guards, and the three were separated.
Yennefer went to his quarters, while Geralt had to tidy up and be taught some etiquette before he could meet the emperor due to his scruffy appearance.
As for Edward, he was not qualified to meet the Emperor, but the soldiers who escorted them were courteous after telling them about the stranger's great strength.
"Now it seems that Yennefer and the emperor must have reached some agreement. Geralt said, "I'll see you later, Mr. Demon Hunter." ”

Edward was taken into the room by a young Imperial attendant and asked a number of questions about his identity. After hearing that Geralt was a friend, the young attendant changed the question to etiquette and image.
Edward's image was impeccable, and the delicate Rivendell Lord armor he now wears, although it was used for combat, was not lacking in solemnity and grace, and was equally suitable for use as a ceremonial helmet. As for etiquette, Edward, who had ever gotten along with royal nobles such as King Elrond, Lothar, and Kael'thas, had no problems.
The young squire signaled that Edward needed to take a bath, then sprinkled a little incense on his body to hide the murderous smell of Edward, as well as tidy up Edward's hair on his shawl and wash his armor.
Edward complied with these simple and reasonable requests. He took a bath in the service of two maids, then had the barber straighten his black hair in a shawl, tied it in a short ponytail at the back of his head, shaved a light stubble, and finally put on armor scented with cloves and citrus.
After exiting the room, the refreshed Edward accepted the etiquette test of the young attendant amid the exclamations and whispers of praise from the attendants around him, and passed without any problems.
Geralt had apparently been working a little earlier than Edward before he had met the Emperor, and when the young squire led Edward into the Emperor's hall, Geralt had been talking to the Emperor for a while.
The emperor of Nilfgaard was Enshir Enrith, a tall man with a majestic face and the grace of a superior person. When he met the two, he was in his study, and he was obviously very diligent.
"You're the Edward Lee who can easily deal with those demons?" Seeing Edward enter, Emperor Enshir looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "Well, you have a very special temperament, compared to this rudeness, I don't seem to find a fault in you." ”
Edward smiled modestly and gave a simple salute.
"I'm talking to Geralt about commissioning. Enchil's vision was very precise, and the first time he saw Edward was that this retinue was not Geralt, he took the initiative to say, "I need you to find my daughter Ciri and bring her back." ”
"Why us?" Geralt seemed to value this kind of Ciri girl, but asked warily, "As the most powerful person in the world right now, you only need to send your army to find her." ”
"You don't have to ask so much, I want results. "At least you have the money to take, and it's a lot of money." ”
"But we need information, not motivation. Geralt clearly didn't have much respect for the emperor, "I don't even need a bounty, I'm purely for Ciri." ”
"I am, after all, his titular adoptive father and teacher. Geralt explained to Edward.
"Alright, that's the end of our conversation. Enhill interrupted Geralt, "All I can tell you is that, according to my spy report, Ciri has been present in Willen and Novigre. ”
"Wait a minute. Just as the Emperor was about to let an old attendant leave with the two of them, Edward suddenly said, "Have Your Majesty's agents ever seen this man?" ”
Edward handed Hermione's portrait to Unhildo, "I'm looking for someone too, and I like His Majesty's spies to be able to help me if I can." ”
"Very clever painting technique. Enshir took the portrait and said, "But why am I going to help you find someone?"
"I have a lot of benefits to give to Your Majesty here. Edward smiled when he saw that Enshir did not immediately refuse.
"It's funny, young Mr. Edward. Enshir smiled a little disdainfully, "As the emperor of the most powerful country in the world, what else can I not get?"
"Of course, there are many, such as health, safety, and all other things that money and power can't buy. ”
Hearing Edward say this, Enhil and Geralt were stunned for a moment at the same time, and the Emperor withdrew his disdainful smile and began to examine this person who had never appeared on his intelligence network again. Geralt crossed his arms over his chest with interest, leaned against the wall and began to watch the excitement.
"Health, safety?" said Ernhill, "I am in the prime of life now, and I have no illness. I'm heavily guarded, and no Assassin should try to get close to me, I wonder what else Mr. Edward can give me?"
"Like this. Edward smiled, and suddenly a hand, a holy light rushed directly towards Enchil, and quickly seeped into his body.
Suddenly, Enhil stood up in shock and quickly shook the alarm bell.
A large group of captains of the guard rushed in, surrounding Edward and Geralt, and keeping their emperor at bay.
"What have you done to me!" Enshir said angrily, moving his body, "Geralt, this friend of yours seems to want to get you involved. ”
Geralt was also a little surprised, but he didn't act rashly, and looked at Edward with a puzzled expression.
"Don't be nervous, I just cast a buff spell on you. Edward remained calm in the face of the guards' spears, "This buff spell will give you energy, strength, and agility for the next three years, without any side effects. ”
"The most important thing is that this spell can block you from one fatal damage and three disabling damages. (To be continued.) )
