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

As a conflict disappeared, the atmosphere at the banquet was cheerful again, and the gwent card game between Wayne and the Skellige delegation was also in full swing.

As a professional Gwent card master, Wayne, who has experienced no less than a thousand Gwent card battles, big and small, did not use a crushing attitude to defeat these Skellige players in the past few years. Strong man.

During the previous drinking and arm wrestling, Wayne has already proved his strength and courage to these sea warriors. Today, when playing Gwent card games with them, Wayne will deliberately control his strength and often win by two After three games, you will lose another game cleverly. While gaining experience and gold coins, you will also let the opponent experience the fun of defeating a strong enemy.

This performance made these strong men of Skellige very interested and joined the game of Gwent one after another.

After all, most of the members of the Skellig envoy 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, being friends is definitely more beneficial than becoming enemies.

In fact, it wasn't just Wayne who thought so, but also the strong Skellige men on the opposite side. Although the competition just now made them suffer, it didn't prevent them from recognizing Wayne's ability.

In the age of cold weapons, people with strong strength tended to be more effective in combat.

This means that you can have more physical strength, wear thicker armor, use heavier weapons, and exert greater power.

Soon, under the deliberate matchmaking of both parties, Wayne blended into the cheerful atmosphere of the Skellige Mission very harmoniously. Everyone drank and ate meat together, bragging, and playing Gwent. It didn't take long, as if Like becoming a good friend.

Even King East and Kratz, the sea boar, showed kindness to Wayne. After all, the two sides are not enemies, and Wayne is not Kratz's competitor. It is better to have one more friend than a strong enemy Much better.

This disappointed many aristocrats who were paying attention to them. As the biggest competitor in this relative selection meeting, the Skellige Mission Group wanted to watch them suffer rather than watch them get another powerful helper.

However, the joyful atmosphere at the banquet did not last long. Just when Princess Pavetta was affected by the cheerful atmosphere of Wayne and his friends, like a novice at the card game, she was teaching gambling with Wayne. A man wearing golden armor The guards came in from outside the banquet hall.

This was a strong guard. He bypassed the people at the banquet table, walked quickly to Queen Calanthe, and whispered something.

Then, with Queen Calanthe's slightly changed expression and the guard's loud announcement, a knight wearing neat iron plate armor, a spiked helmet, and a face shaped like a dog's mouth came out of the gate. Chu walked in.

Uchion of Ihrenwald was the name of this knight.

With the arrival of this uninvited guest, the atmosphere at the banquet changed subtly. Wayne clearly felt that Princess Pavetta, who was sitting opposite him, trembled all over, and her eyes were fixed on the woman in the wedding dress. The figure covered in plate armor began to exude more and more chaotic magic power.

Seeing this, Wayne chuckled and showed a meaningful smile to the princess. When other people's attention was attracted by the armored monster, he leaned over and whispered:

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

"Fate is really magical. You fell in love with someone who lied to you from beginning to end."

Originally, Princess Pavetta's attention was all focused on Uchion who had just walked in, but after hearing Wayne's words, her attention was immediately diverted. She couldn't help but tremble all over and looked at it with surprised eyes. The handsome young man in front of me.

Wayne blinked at her, then stretched out his finger, made a shushing gesture to her, and whispered mysteriously:

"After today's banquet is over, I will tell you some truths that you don't know."

"A kind and simple person like you should not live a lie."

After saying that, he did not look at Princess Pavetta anymore, but like everyone else, he looked at the armored weirdo who walked into the banquet hall.

Accompanied by the clanging sound of armor and the dull sound of iron boots on the ground, under the gaze of everyone at the party, the man wearing the spiked dog-head mask walked up to Queen Calanthe's throne and shouted loudly: road:

"Your noble queen, distinguished gentlemen, please forgive me for interrupting your grand banquet."

"I am Uchion of Ihrenwald, please forgive me for coming unannounced."

Queen Calanthe, who was sitting on the throne, changed her sitting position and looked at the armored man in front of her with sharp eyes. After a few seconds, she said:

"Since you are here, you are also a guest, and there is a seat for you at the banquet. You go find a seat and 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. Instead, he clenched his iron-gloved hands into fists, beat his chest hard, and said loudly:

"But I am not here to attend the banquet this time. In order not to waste your and your adults' time, I want to explain the situation directly."

However, his attitude angered Queen Calanthe. The beautiful queen raised her eyebrows and scolded directly:

"It's so rude. You attend my banquet and don't dare to show your true colors to me, the host of the banquet."

"Take off your helmet. I can give you time to explain the situation. Otherwise, I will ask the guards to throw you out."

But after a few seconds of silence, the armored Uchion said in an apologetic tone:

"Please forgive me, noble queen, distinguished gentlemen, but my appearance cannot be announced to the public for the time being, because I have sworn a knight's oath and will not take off my helmet before midnight. I hope you can allow it."

As he spoke, many people at the banquet immediately shouted angrily, thinking that his oath of knighthood was just an excuse and that there must be something shady hidden under his mask.

However, Wayne noticed that as people's anger grew, Princess Pavetta's expression became very nervous, while Archdruid Mossak, who was sitting at the corner of the table, moved his lips slightly and said quietly. After casting a spell, a special magic power permeated the entire banquet, and even the badge on his chest began to tremble slightly.

Unfortunately, with Wayne's current knowledge of magic, he still couldn't tell what kind of magic the archdruid was releasing.

Queen Calanthe stared at Uchion for more than ten seconds. The knight's oath was still a very respected oath in the Middle Ages, and few people dared to violate it. Finally, she nodded and gave him time to explain.

With the queen's permission, Uchion, who was wearing armor, seemed to take a gentle breath, and then continued to say in a loud voice:

"Fifteen years ago, your husband, King Rognar, got lost while hunting in Irenwald. While wandering in an inaccessible place, he fell off his horse and injured his leg."

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

Queen Calanthe frowned and said:

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

Uchion responded loudly:

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

Queen Calanthe had no expression on her face and just said lightly:

"I am grateful for your help. Although my husband has passed away long ago, my gratitude has not diminished."

"Tell me how I can thank you if your assistance is not free."

"Fiefdom, title, wealth, I can satisfy you."

Uchion looked at Queen Calanthe who was pretending to be stupid on the throne, and immediately said loudly:

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

"You also know very well that I am here today to collect the reward that King Rognar promised to me."

Queen Calanthe was silent for a few seconds, staring at Uchion with sharp eyes, her dark green eyes seemed to be ignited with green flames, and said in a mocking tone:

"So, you found an injured person at the bottom of the canyon who was unable to defend himself."

"Faced with such an injured person, will you be willing to help him only if he promises to give you a reward?"

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

"Your behavior must be consistent with one of your knightly oaths, right? You are truly a noble knight."

As Queen Calanthe spoke these mocking words, the noise in the entire hall immediately became louder. The guests at the banquet looked at Uchion in front of the throne with contempt, thinking that he was like A man of his character is not worthy of being called a knight.

Seeing that her words had an effect, Queen Calanthe 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 capital and profits?"

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

"Since you said it was Rognar who wanted to give you a reward, fine, I will send you to another world to meet him and let him give it to you in person."

"I love my husband dearly, and the thought of you bargaining with a seriously injured man fills me with disgust."

"Do you know? In my kingdom, you are as close to death as Rogner was at that time, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered."

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

Queen Calanthe's words, full of death threats, immediately caused the temperature in the entire banquet hall to drop several degrees.

The guests present also noticed that something was wrong with the queen's situation. It stands to reason that even if a knight with bad character comes to ask for reward from the rescued person, as the master, even if he hates him, he will give some compensation instead of using Death threats came to intimidate him.

Among the people present, Archdruid Mossak was the one who knew part of the inside story. He was worried that the stubborn Queen Calanthe would really ignore the chance of accidents and take the initiative to kill the Wu who came to ask for reward. Qiong, this kind of behavior is tantamount to the greatest blasphemy of the ancient law of accidental rate.

Judging from the history of mankind, anyone who does not follow the unexpected rate will often get a backlash from fate and suffer an extremely tragic fate.

This is not a fantasy story. In a world where gods exist, fate is a powerful force that does exist, and ordinary mortals have no ability to resist it.

As spellcasters who explore 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 archdruid first looked at Wayne beside him. Although he didn't know Wayne, he could guess that this young man with amazing strength was probably also a member of the Demon Hunter.

However, Wayne didn't notice the druid's gaze at this time. Instead, he looked at the scene in the banquet hall with a smile on his face, as if admiring a scene. A theater-like audience.

Seeing no response, the archdruid immediately turned his gaze to the demon hunter Geralt next to the throne.

The two old friends made eye contact, and immediately began to communicate with each other in a subtle way. Mossak hoped that Geralt would end up protecting Urchion. He didn't want his good friend, Queen Calanthe, to go her own way and end up being backlashed by fate. met a tragic end.

But at this time, Geralt, who had accepted the entrustment of Queen Calanthe, was also in a complicated mood. Before he knew the whole situation, he hadn't made up his mind which side he should help.

In the banquet hall, he faced the accusations and threats from Queen Calanthe, as well as the whispers from the surrounding guests.

Uchion did not become nervous, he said loudly:

"You know very well whether you are telling the truth or not."

Queen Calanthe laughed angrily and said:

"Are you accusing me of lying?"

Uchion did not answer directly, but said loudly:

"You should be very clear about what happened in Ihrenwald."

"King Rognar was rescued by me. After returning home safely, he found that his beautiful queen, you, had given birth."

"Yes, I have been waiting for fifteen years, and today I will get my reward."

"Everyone here has come here in vain."

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

"This wedding 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 just unheard of."

Someone else said:

"This is simply ridiculous. What evidence do you have to prove all this?"

Facing the scoldings and questions from everyone, Uqiong did not panic at all. He opened his hands and said loudly to everyone:

"The queen's face has said it all. This matter is definitely not a lie."

When the guests heard the words, they all looked towards Queen Calanthe. Sure enough, following Urchion's speech, the queen who was always confident and aloof in the past had a very ugly face at this moment. She pursed her lips tightly, With a complicated expression, he looked at Uchi Weng under the throne, but he still did not issue an order.

If what Uchion said was a lie, given the queen's character, she would have ordered someone to behead this rude person.

But this strange silence also made the guests present realize the truth, and they all whispered to each other and discussed in low voices.

As the sound 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 there quietly, the magic power of chaos surrounding her had begun to distort, obviously The owner of the ancient blood must be in extremely complicated mood at this time, so complicated that her mood has affected the chaotic magic in the entire banquet hall.

Although this Princess Pavita is a natural source warlock, she has not learned any magic knowledge, nor has she undergone any magic training. The way of mobilizing magic power is almost instinctive.

After about two minutes of silence, Queen Calanthe suddenly waved to a manservant, lowered her head and gave an order in the manservant's ear.

Then, the manservant took the order and ran out of the banquet with a surprised and complicated expression.

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

"Is what he said true? Calanthe."

Queen Calanthe, who was standing in front of the throne, no longer had the calm demeanor of the past. She bit her lower lip, looked at the Kingdom of East with a bit of pitifulness, and asked:

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

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

"If this is true, then the promise must be kept."

"Otherwise, I would think that you take the promise so lightly. As a person in power, if you don't take the promise seriously, will this covenant be honored for his allies?"
