In the wizarding world, no one can resist the charm of GWENT.

As a conflict cleared up, the atmosphere at the banquet returned to cheerfulness, and the Gwent card game of Wayne and Skellig's envoys was in full swing.

As a professional Gwent card master, Wayne, who has experienced no less than a thousand Gwent card battles in the past few years, did not use a crushing posture to defeat these strong men of Skellig as soon as he came up.

Before drinking and wrestling wrists, Wayne has proved his strength and courage to these warriors at sea, and now in the GWENT card game, when Wayne plays with them, he will deliberately control his strength, often after winning two or three games, he will also cleverly lose a game, while gaining experience and gold, he will also let the other party experience the fun of defeating strong enemies.

This performance made these Skellig strong men very interested, and they joined the game of Gwent.

After all, most of the members of the Skellig envoys in front of them will become important figures in the major families of the archipelago in the next twenty years.

Although Wayne is not afraid of them, it is definitely more beneficial to be friends than enemies.

In fact, it wasn't just Wayne who thought so, but the Skellig strong men on the other side also thought so, although the competition just now made them eat some turtles, but it didn't prevent them from recognizing Wayne's ability.

In the era of cold weapons, people with great strength often have strong combat effectiveness.

This means you'll be able to have more stamina, wear heavier armor, use heavier weapons, and exert more power.

Soon, under the deliberate mediation of the two parties, Wayne blended into the cheerful atmosphere of the Skellig envoys very harmoniously, and everyone drank and ate meat together, bragging, and playing Gwent cards, and it didn't take long for them to become good friends.

Even King East and Kratz, the boar of the sea, showed kindness to Wayne, after all, the two sides are not enemies, and Wayne is not a competitor to Kratz, it is better to have one more friend than one more strong enemy.

This greatly disappointed many of the nobles who were watching them, and the Skellig envoys, as the biggest competitors in the election, wanted to watch them deflat, rather than watch them pull in a powerful helper.

However, the joyful atmosphere of the banquet did not last long, and just as Princess Pavita was affected by Wayne's cheerful atmosphere, like a novice in the card game, and was playing a teaching game with Wayne, a guard in golden armor walked in from outside the banquet hall.

It was a muscular bodyguard, and he walked around the crowd at the banquet table, walked briskly to Queen Carranser's side, and whispered something to him.

Then, under the promise of Queen Carranse's face changing slightly, accompanied by the loud voice of the doorman, a knight dressed in neat iron plate armor, wearing a spiked helmet, and a face shaped like a dog's mouth, walked through the gate.

Uchion of Illenwald is the name of this knight.

And with the arrival of this uninvited guest, the atmosphere at the banquet changed subtly, and Wayne clearly felt that Princess Pavita, who was sitting opposite him, trembled, her eyes were firmly fixed on the figure wearing full-body plate armor, and the chaotic magic emanating from her body became more and more.

Seeing this, Wayne smiled, showed a meaningful smile to the princess, and leaned over and whispered when the attention of the others was attracted by the armor monster:

"Your Highness Princess, is this the person you are waiting for?"

"It's amazing that you fell in love with someone who lied to you from beginning to end."

Originally, Princess Pavita's attention was all on Uchion, who had just walked in, but after hearing Wayne's words, she was immediately diverted, and couldn't help but tremble, looking at the handsome young man in front of her with surprised eyes.

Wayne winked at her, then stretched out his finger and made a boo gesture to her, whispering in a vague voice:

"When today's feast is over, I'll tell you some truths that you don't know."

"A kind and simple person like you should not live in lies."

After saying that, he didn't look at Princess Pavita again, but like everyone else, he looked at the armored monster who walked into the banquet hall.

With the clanging of armor and the dull sound of iron boots on the ground, the man with the spiky dog-head mask walked up to Queen Carranser's throne under the watchful eyes of everyone at the banquet, and shouted:

"Honorable Queen, distinguished gentlemen, please forgive me for disturbing your solemn feast."

"I'm Uchion of Irlenwald, please forgive me for not telling me."

Queen Caranthor, who was sitting on the throne, changed her sitting position, looked at the armored man in front of her with sharp eyes, and after a few seconds, she spoke:

"Since you're here, you're also a guest, and there's a seat for you at the banquet, so go find a place to sit."

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."

However, the man, who called himself Uchion, did not retreat to the banquet as the queen wanted, but clenched his iron-gloved hand into a fist, struck his chest hard, and said in a loud voice:

"But I'm not here to attend a banquet, so as not to waste your time and that of you, I want to explain the situation directly."

However, his attitude angered Queen Caranse, and the beautiful queen raised her eyebrows and directly scolded:

"It's so rude, to participate in my banquet, in the face of me, the host of the banquet, I don't dare to show my true face."

"Take off your helmet, I can give you time to explain the situation, or I'll have the guards throw you out."

But the armoured Uchion was silent for a few seconds, and then said in an apologetic tone:

"I beg your pardon, noble queen, distinguished gentlemen, for the time being I cannot declare my appearance to the public, for I have made a knightly oath that I will not take off my helmet before midnight, and I hope you will grant it."

As he spoke, many at the banquet immediately let out angry shouts, believing that his knightly oath was just an excuse and that there must be something unsightly hidden under his mask.

However, Wayne noticed that as the anger grew, Princess Pavita's expression became very nervous, while the Grand Druid Mossake, who was sitting in the corner of the table, moved his lips slightly, silently chanted a spell, and a special magic permeated the entire banquet, and even the badge on his chest began to tremble slightly.

Unfortunately, with Wayne's current knowledge of magic, he couldn't tell what kind of magic this great druid was unleashing.

Queen Caranther stared at Uchion for more than ten seconds, the knightly oath was still a very respected oath in the Middle Ages, and few people dared to break it, but finally nodded and gave him time to explain.

With the Queen's permission, the armoured Uchion seemed to take a light breath, and then continued to speak in a loud voice:

"Fifteen years ago, your husband, King Rogner, got lost while hunting in Irenwald, and while wandering off the beaten track, he fell off his horse and broke his leg."

"If it weren't for the help of others, he would have died long ago."

Queen Caranther frowned and said:

"I know about it, and if you know about it, I guess you're the one who saved him."

Uchion replied in a loud voice:

"Yes, it is because of my rescue that King Rogner can return to you safe and sound."

Queen Caranther had no expression on her face, but said lightly:

"I thank you for your help, even though my husband has long since passed away, but this gratitude has not diminished."

"Tell me what I can do to thank you if your assistance is not gratuitous."

"Fiefdoms, titles, wealth, I can satisfy you."

Uchion looked at Queen Calanther, who was pretending to be a fool on the throne, and immediately said in a loud voice:

"You know very well that my assistance is not gratuitous."

"You also know very well that I have come today to collect the reward that King Rogner promised me."

Queen Caranther was silent for a few seconds, staring at Uchion fiercely with sharp eyes, her dark green eyes seemed to ignite a green flame, and she said in a mocking tone:

"So, you've found a wounded man at the bottom of the canyon who can't protect himself."

"In the face of such a wounded man, will you only help him if he promises to give you a reward?"

"If he doesn't agree to your request, you're going to leave him in the canyon and leave him there to die, right?"

"Your actions must be in line with one of your knightly oaths, right, you are a noble knight."

As Queen Caranthor uttered this mocking language, the noise in the whole hall immediately became louder, and the guests at the banquet looked at Uchion in front of the throne with contempt, believing that a man of his character was not worthy of being called a knight.

Seeing that her words had an effect, Queen Caranther looked at Uchion with an even more angry smile and said:

"Today, fifteen years later, you came to my banquet and made a special trip to ask for a reward, do you want to go back with your interest?"

As she spoke, the queen showed a sneer, and said in a gloomy tone:

"Since you said that Rogner wants to give you a reward, well, I will send you to another world to meet him, and let him give it to you personally."

"I love my husband dearly, and I am filled with disgust for you at the thought of you bargaining with him who is badly injured."

"You know what? In my kingdom, you are as close to death as Rogner at that time, like a lamb to the slaughter. ”

"If I allow you to leave alive now, should you give me the same in return?"

Queen Carranse's death-threatening words immediately caused the temperature in the entire banquet hall to drop by several degrees.

The guests present also noticed that something was wrong with the queen, and it stands to reason that even if a knight of bad character came to ask for something in return from the rescued, as a host, even if he disliked him, he would give him some compensation, rather than intimidate him with death threats.

Among the people present, the Grand Druid Mossack was the one who knew part of the inside story, and he was worried that the stubborn Queen Carantor would really take the initiative to kill Uchion who came to ask for payment, regardless of the accident rate, this kind of behavior is tantamount to the maximum desecration of the ancient law of accident rate.

From the perspective of human history, anyone who does not follow the accident rate will often be repelled by fate and suffer an extremely tragic fate.

This is not an ethereal story, in a world where gods exist, fate is a powerful force that does exist, and ordinary mortals simply have no power to resist it.

As spellcasters who seek the truth of the world, they understand this better than those ignorant commoners or nobles, and they are more in awe of the power of fate.

Thinking of this, the Great Druid first looked at Wayne beside him, although he didn't know Wayne, but he could guess that this young man with amazing strength was probably also one of the members of the witcher.

However, at this time, Wayne did not notice the druid's gaze, but looked at the scene in the banquet hall with a smile on his face in a play-watching attitude, as if he was enjoying a play.

Unable to respond to his gaze, the Grand Druid immediately turned his gaze to Geralt, the witcher next to the throne.

The two old friends made eye contact and immediately began to communicate with each other in a subtle manner, Mossac hoped that Geralt would be able to protect Uchion, and he did not want his good friend Queen Carantor to go his own way and end up tragically by fate.

However, at this time, Geralt, who accepted the commission of Queen Carranthor, was also in a complicated mood, and before he knew the whole story, he did not decide which side he should help.

In the banquet hall, in the face of Queen Caranser's accusations and threats, and the whispers of the surrounding guests.

Uchion did not become nervous, he exclaimed:

"Whether you are telling the truth or not, you know very well."

Queen Caranther laughed angrily and said:

"Are you accusing me of lying?"

Instead of answering directly, Uchion said in a loud voice:

"You should know very well what happened in Irenwald."

"King Rogner was rescued by me, and when he returned home safely, he found that his beautiful queen, that is, you, had given birth."

"Yes, I have waited fifteen years and will receive my reward today."

"The purpose of all of you here is in vain."

"Because according to the oath, Princess Pavita is mine from the day she was born."

"This family election banquet was a wrong decision from the beginning."

Uchion's words immediately caused an uproar among the guests, and some nobles shouted:

"It's impossible, it's unheard of."

Someone else said:

"It's ridiculous, what proof do you have to prove it all."

In the face of everyone's scolding and questions, Uchion did not panic at all, he opened his hands and said loudly to everyone:

"The Queen's face says it all, and this matter is not a lie."

When the guests heard this, they all looked at Queen Caranse, and sure enough, with Uchion's speech, the queen, who had always been full of confidence and high in the past, had a very ugly face at this time, she pursed her lips tightly, her expression was complicated, and she looked at Uchion under the throne, but she did not give an order for a long time.

If Uchion had lied, the queen's character would have caused the impudent man to be beheaded.

But this strange silence also made the guests present realize the truth, and they exchanged heads and discussed in low voices.

As the voices in the banquet hall became more and more noisy, Wayne, who was standing next to Princess Pavita, noticed that although the princess was still sitting quietly, the chaos magic around her had begun to distort, and it was obvious that the owner of the ancient blood must be in an extremely complicated mood at this time, so complicated that her mood had affected the chaos magic in the entire banquet hall.

And although this Princess Pavita is a natural source warlock, she has not learned any magic knowledge, nor has she undergone any magic training, and the way she mobilizes magic is almost close to instinct.

There was silence for nearly two minutes, and Queen Carantor suddenly beckoned to a valet, bowed her head and gave an order in the manservant's ear.

Then, with a look of surprise and confusion, the manservant took the order and ran out of the banquet.

King East, who was standing behind Wayne, also stood up, and he left his seat, walked to the center of the banquet hall, and calmly asked Queen Karan:

"Is what he said true? Carranser. ”

Queen Caranther, who was standing in front of the throne, no longer had the calm temperament she used to have, she bit her lower lip, looked at the Kingdom of East with some pity, and asked:

"Even if it's true, so what?"

Although King East felt pity for his sweetheart, he still frowned and said:

"If that's true, then the promise must be kept."

"Otherwise, I would think that you take promises so lightly, and as a person in power, if you don't value them, will this covenant be kept for his allies?"
