Chapter 205: Gwent's Bowland

Taussaint was a small vassal principality under the Nilfgaard Empire.

Thanks to its pleasant climate and fertile volcanic soils, it is rich in grapes and is renowned for the high quality of its wines. It is known as the "Kingdom of Fairy Tales", "the Land of Wine and Love" and "the Land of Fine Wine".

And it is not worth the rumors that the season is like spring, obviously it is only February, and there are even many places in the north where it is snowing, but Touscent has been illuminated by the warm sun, and there is not even a trace of winter in the flowers and trees.

I don't know how Francesca designed it, but Wayne appeared on a hillside in the suburbs, and the position was still very high, and from a distance, you could see a beautiful city standing on the plain, beside the Sansredo River.

And the name of the city, no one needs to be introduced, Wayne is also well aware, Bowland, the capital of Towcent.

It is a very ornate looking city, the original prototype was built by the elves, and after being occupied by humans, it was expanded and built to become what it is today.

Today, the world's most famous wine capital, it has a thriving trade, with merchants from all over the world bringing their local produce to sell and then returning with more to earn money.

But at present, in this city, Wayne has no acquaintances, and the one he can barely deal with is Frigila who was mentioned by France. Wei Ge, but for this sorceress, he hasn't thought about whether to meet or not.

Because, Fringilla. Weige is a distant relative of the current duke, and she is also the niece of the royal mage Artorios Vigo, and if you meet her, it is equivalent to entering the eyes of the royal family and revealing her identity.

After a short period of consideration, Wayne decided to disguise himself as another identity to enter Bowland first, and if there was a layer of identity protection on the surface, there would be a layer of cover for anything unsightly to do in private.

And when you really need help, go to the sorceress Weige and solve some problems that can't be solved by ordinary means through the high-level route.

As for what identity to disguise, this is not difficult for him, now in the space bracelet, there is a large amount of pipe grass, with this kind of high-grade tobacco that is not available in the wizarding world, disguised as a high-end tobacco merchant, it is a very good choice.

When the time comes, he will be able to wander throughout the kingdom of Touscent in the name of selling tobacco, searching for the treasures and information he wants, and reaching out to those who want to reach him.

He quickly put all the weapons on his body into the space bracelet, leaving only a Startik electric blade hanging from his waist, changed into a daily high-end silk regular clothes, and drove the magic flying carpet from a height of several hundred meters to Bowkland.

After flying for more than ten minutes, Wayne landed in a shelter a few kilometers away from Bouckland, and he pretended to be an ordinary passerby and swaggered onto the road to the city.

There were no twists and turns, and after paying a few silver coins as an entrance fee, I entered the city without any problems.

Although he had played the game many times, he still felt quite comfortable after entering Bowland in person.

Perhaps because Towson had been away from war for many years, and as a small dependent nation that had not been threatened by war, the people here were somewhat similar to the hobbits of Middle-earth, mostly quite romantic and welcoming, even among strangers.

Guided by a passerby, Wayne wandered around the city for more than ten minutes, crossing several busy streets, and came to a rather upscale hotel to stay at.

However, before he could go to the boss to open the room, the scene in the hotel lobby caught his attention.

I saw two people sitting on the opposite side of the dining table, holding a few delicate cards in their hands, their faces were thoughtful, their expressions were excited, and the onlookers around them were also watching intently, without speaking, as if they were watching some good show.

And this kind of scene, Wayne has seen in many places, and it is also a game that he likes to participate in very much, and it is systematically planned to be a game of the witcher's own skill, Gwent cards.

Immediately, he opened a room in the best class at the innkeeper's as fast as he could, and then walked briskly to the two players who were playing Gwent, and entered the spectator mode with the others.

Gwent card times are always quite interesting, after about half an hour of watching the battle, Wayne determined that the rules of the GWENT card here are no different from those in the north, and I don't know if it is because of the prosperity of commercial trade, merchants from all over the world gather here, they also have a lot of the latest cards here, and the game of GWENT cards is also quite popular.

In this case, as a real GWENT card master, Wayne no longer pretended, he took advantage of the halftime of the two players to find a table on the side and sit down, and then said to the few spectators:

"Friends, how can the fun of watching the game be fun to play by yourself."

"If anyone wants to play a GWENT duel with me, I'm very confident in myself, and whoever can win me will get a double bet, up to 500 crowns, at least 10 crowns, and I'm willing to accept it."

Hearing Wayne's speech, the crowd of onlookers immediately turned their eyes to him, even the two players who were playing cards.

Looking at Wayne's immature face, as if he had just come of age, and the temptation of double the bet he made, these people were moved.

Soon, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a big beard sat down very politely across from Wayne.

He first reached out and shook Wayne's hand, then introduced himself:

"Hello sir, I'm Stephen from Plante Wine Estate, and if you don't mind, we can play a few rounds of Gwent."

"I really love this game."

Wayne was also very polite, and after shaking hands with the middle-aged man, he also introduced himself:

"Hello, Mr. Stephen."

"I'm a tobacco merchant from the kingdom of Zerikan, Joel. Smith, this is my first time in the Kingdom of Towcent, and it's such a beautiful place. ”

Stephen on the other side was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some curiosity:

"I didn't expect, Mr. Smith, could it be that the game of Gwent has spread to the distant kingdom of Zerecan?"

Wayne laughed, bragged without changing his face, and said:

"Because our family is doing a good job in business and has a lot of contact with the outside world, that's why I came into contact with the game of Gwent."

"But in the kingdom of Zerikan, only some high-class characters have the opportunity to play this game."

The two chatted for a while, but Mr. Stephen of Plante Wine Estate was still quite cautious, and his bet with Wayne in the first game was a minimum of ten crowns, no more and no less.

And when Wayne was dueling with him, in order not to scare off other challengers, he also suppressed his strength to be a little weaker than the opponent, but in the end he turned defeat into victory.

Even after winning two games in a row, he deliberately lost another game, losing thirty kroner to the man, and after three rounds, he only won the experience prize of the Gwent card and the bet of only five kroner.

However, it is precisely because of this that this strength of not being high or low, and being able to see the hope of victory, is a huge bait to attract those GWENT players who want to win.

Soon, all the Gwent players present came out of the game one by one and played a few games with Wayne.

While Wayne has gained a lot of GWENT's card experience, he has also been suppressing his own strength, maintaining the trend of winning more and losing less, and winning money overall.

In the end, in order to increase the attractiveness of the gambling game he held, he even took the initiative to lose a huge sum of three hundred crowns to the hands of a young aristocratic man with a more lively personality who liked to show off at first glance.

In just one afternoon, with the word of mouth of the Gwent players, he had a Gwent duel with nearly a hundred Gwent players in the city, gaining a lot of Gwent proficiency and making friends with many rich local people in Boukland.

Moreover, as a disguised tobacco merchant, Wayne not only kept his pipe in his mouth during his gambling, but occasionally invited his rivals to enjoy the mellow taste of pipe grass with him.

The taste of this superb tobacco from Middle-earth quickly attracted the attention of all the men who loved tobacco, not only the rivals with whom he played Gwent, but also the onlookers.

Wayne was not stingy with this, as long as he was interested in pipe grass, everyone would give a small amount that could only be tasted and let them enjoy it.

When asked how he would sell, Wayne would politely refuse, telling them that it was not yet time to sell and that they needed to wait for the supply.

And this Gwent card gambling game can be regarded as a very effective publicity and promotion for Wayne's pipe grass.

In less than two days after that, the news of Bowland's arrival of a powerful Gwent brand master and a tobacco merchant with the finest tobacco spread among many wealthy people.

After all, the people who can spend a lot of money to bet on Wayne are not ordinary civilians.

Without that financial resources, you don't dare to spend at least a hundred crowns on a gamble.

Thanks to the enthusiasm of the Bowkland Gwent players and Wayne's previous accumulation, his Gwent card level was quickly promoted to level nine.

Just one level away from unlocking a new skill and opening up a special skill related to luck.

And Bowcrane, a fairytale world with merchants from all over the world, will definitely be able to meet Wayne's upgrade needs.
