Chapter 176: An Unexpected Letter
(Considering the plot, I delayed for a while, and I will update one chapter at noon and two chapters in the afternoon.) )
When Wayne walked out of the royal tomb with the little princess wrapped in curtains in his arms and facing the sun, King Foltest, and the two sorceresses beside him, all came up with some excitement.
At this time, the king was no longer a high-ranking ruler, but like an ordinary father, an ordinary man who lost his children and his most precious family, and then lost and regained.
His expression was excited, he looked at the girl in Wayne's arms, his hands trembled a little, and his tone could no longer maintain his majesty, and he asked eagerly:
"How's she going, Witcher? Is this my daughter Yada? ”
Wayne handed the princess in his arms to Foltest's arms, and watched His Majesty carefully hug his daughter as if he were a most precious treasure, and he thought for a few seconds before he spoke:
"The curse has been lifted for the time being, Your Majesty."
Foltest's hand holding his daughter trembled slightly, frowned, and asked Wayne with some anger and doubt:
"For the time being, you mean for the time being, what's going on, Witcher?"
Wayne's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a professional tone:
"Princess Yada slept in the sarcophagus for seven years, and then awoke as a vampire bird because of a curse."
"This evil curse has been ingrained in her life, and it is basically impossible to completely eliminate it."
"However, Your Majesty, you can rest assured for the time being that the princess's curse has indeed been expelled at this time, and as long as there is no intervention from other magical forces, the princess can live like a normal girl."
But as an evil force deeply rooted in her life, some of her personality or behaviors will be affected by this power, such as her love of eating raw meat, her wild and irritable personality, and so on. In addition to requiring more education and correction, you should also be careful to guard against some conspirators, or people with malicious intentions. ”
"Maybe at some point, they will use this curse in the princess's body to turn her back into a vampire demon bird, causing some irreparable tragic accident, maybe it doesn't matter."
Wayne, who knew the follow-up development in the future, took the lead in giving His Majesty the King a preventive shot, and then bowed slightly and said:
"Your Majesty, please leave the rest to the warlocks who are better at dealing with curses, this is not what we witchers are good at."
However, it was obvious that the king in front of him had more trust in the witcher than the sorceress, and he looked down at his daughter, and after thinking for dozens of seconds, he said:
"Thank you for the reminder, Witcher, if my daughter turns back into that monster because of something, I hope you will come over soon and help me again."
"It was a father's request, not a king."
Bite! 【Lift the Curse of the Vampire Bird】Master, completed.
Gain: 342 XP, a Master Chest.
Bite! Trigger a chain quest, [Request from the King's Father!] ], whether to pick it up or not!
………………
The matter of the vampire demon bird was solved very smoothly, not only completed a master-level task, but also obtained a master-level chain task, according to the experience from Borch last time, generally like this kind of chain quest, will reward ability points, which makes Wayne look forward to it very much.
King Foltest was indeed a wise and generous ruler, and the day after Wayne lifted Princess Yada's curse, the reward of this commission was sent to him.
Originally, in addition to the prize of up to 3,000 Oron, there was also a letter of canonization ceremony from a nobleman, and the respected Lord Wayne was able to ascend from a commoner to become a baron in the Kingdom of Temeria, and also get a territory.
But unfortunately, our witcher is not here, and he does not want to be involved in the future war between the north and the south, so under his persuasion, King Foltest increased the prize to five thousand Oren, and promised to write down this favor and give Wayne a help in the future.
At this point, the vampire bird incident is finally over temporarily, the king rescues his daughter, finds the murderer, Wayne gets the bonus, and gets the king's promise.
And Triss and Kayla are also in a happy mood, and the two sorceresses have also gained the trust of the king to a certain extent because of their performance, and can obtain more power in the position of royal advisors.
That night, Triss, at Kayla's instigation, came to Kayla's mansion together, and pulled Wayne for another pleasant communication.
After a night of pleasure, everyone's lives returned to peace, calculating the time, it has been more than half a month since Wayne returned to the witcher world, according to the time flow rate of the two worlds, the half year agreed between him and the Ford butler of Wayne Manor is not far away.
And this time, his original plan was to let Belengar go to Middle-earth with him, so that the witcher, who would stay in that world, could not only help him manage Wayne Manor, but also take advantage of the time difference between the two worlds to quickly train the witcher apprentice there.
But it's a pity that Wayne's current Ancient Blood is still the primary unsealed, and he can't take anyone else through the world except for himself and the equipment on his body.
Unless you use your ability points to open a temporary spatial passage, you won't be able to bring Belengar into Middle-earth.
And ability points are such precious things, they can't be wasted for the time being if they are not necessary, so after some thought, Wayne temporarily gave up the idea of taking people to Middle-earth, and prepared to return to Middle-earth again after staying in Virgin for a few days to continue his journey of honing his skills.
And at this time, a letter from another country was delivered to his home by a postman.
Wayne was amazed in his heart, and according to his acquaintances in this world, it was hard to imagine that someone would send him a letter.
When he opened the envelope and looked at it, he found that the sender was actually the famous white wolf Geralt, his good brother of the witcher.
And the content of the letter also surprised Wayne very much, and he actually invited him to come to Sintra in early September to participate in the Sintra election banquet and serve as a guard at the dinner for the current Princess Sintra Pavita.
The matter of choosing a family banquet has not happened yet? He originally thought that this would happen in June or July, but he didn't expect it to happen in September.
But if you think about it carefully, this matter is not very unexpected, it seems that in the original book and in the game, there was a conflict in the setting for the time of Ciri's birth, if according to Ciri's birth on May Day, the current Princess Pavita may have secretly hooked up with the hedgehog man for a few months, and I'm afraid the children have been pregnant for a month or two.
Thinking of his agreement with Ford's butler, Wayne was also hesitant in his heart, not knowing whether to attend this banquet.
It was already the middle of August, and Geralt was probably less than twenty days away from the agreed time, and at the speed of the magic flying carpet, if he really wanted to go to Sintra, it would probably only take two or three days.
However, considering that this family selection banquet is also a very important turning point in the plot of the entire Witcher series, according to the convention of system tasks, I am afraid that this mission should also be a master mission.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wayne finally gave up a master chest and a few hundred experience points.
Prepare to return to Middle-earth for a short time before heading out for Sintra while you still have enough time to make some arrangements.
Whether it is the future Emperor of the South, or Ciri's mother, Princess Pavita, who seems to be the source warlock, and many nobles at the banquet, Queen Caranthor takes this opportunity to meet her, it is also a good choice.
And the legendary Dryad Forest is also near Sintra, I don't know if there will be a chance to see the legendary Dryad this time.
