Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

The next morning, when Wayne came out of his high-end hotel room in Sintra, it was almost noon.

Arriving at the restaurant on the first floor, Geralt and Dandelion were eating breakfast at a table by the window.

No matter the time, the poet classmate always seems to be so energetic and full of motivation. When Wayne walked towards them, he happened to see him chattering something to the stern-faced Geralt.

Mr. Wayne yawned, sat across from the two of them, and waved to call the bartender in the store. She was a tall, scantily clad, and sexy-looking lady.

Facing a generous boss like Wayne, the wine girl immediately abandoned the other customers, greeted him with a wink and a smile on her face.

"Get some bottles of the best fruit mead, and go to the kitchen to get some toasted honey bread, fresh from the oven."

After the pretty bargirl left, Wayne smacked his lips and asked Dandelion:

"What are you discussing?"

Before Dandelion could answer, Geralt said with a bored expression:

"I don't know where he got the news from. He said that important people in the Sintra Palace are missing. A large number of guards came from outside the city this morning. Now the entire palace and city gates are under martial law."

As he spoke, Geralt looked at Wayne's bandaged right hand and asked with concern:

"How is your right hand? Is it damaged to the bone? Thanks to you for this commission, I was able to stop Princess Pavetta so quickly."

Wayne casually stretched out his right hand, showed it to Geralt, and said:

"It's nothing, don't worry, it's just a flesh wound. What's the point of being polite between us? Just like we said at the beginning, when we execute the commission together, the bounty will be divided in half, haha."

Geralt also smiled. He rarely teamed up with others for missions, but he was a little lucky that he invited Wayne to help this time.

Soon, the tavern girl brought mead and steaming toasted honey bread. Wayne took out two gold coins and patted her plump buttocks, earning a few sweet smiles.

Dandelion reached for a bottle of mead, deftly uncorked it, took a sip of it for himself, and said with confidence:

"I'm not talking nonsense. Do you remember the Baron from the Tower? The one who defied Queen Calanthe in public. I got the information from him. He is a friend of the royal family and knows a lot of inside information."

Geralt didn't care much about this. He ate a piece of honey bread in several bites, then took a sip of mead and said to Wayne and Dandelion:

"I'm going to leave Cintra soon. Yennefer is still waiting for me in Novigrad, and it's going to be winter soon. I won't be able to stay in Novigrad for long before I have to return to Kaer Morhen. "

Wayne raised his eyebrows, clinked his wine glass with Geralt, and asked:

"Leaving so soon? Don't you care about your possible unexpected child?"

Geralt drank all the wine in his glass, looked at Wayne with meaningful eyes and said:

"Fate will arrange everything. I will come back in six years to see if fate is merciful to me."

"And, according to Dandelion, this place will soon become a place full of trouble. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, Wayne."

"This kind of politically charged place is not suitable for us demon hunters."

After the three of them had a hearty breakfast, Geralt rode his horse Carrot and left the city of Sintra. Dandelion felt that there was still fun to see here, and disappeared without knowing where he went.

However, Wayne can't leave yet. As someone who knows the future development of the plot, whether it is out of good intentions or to add obstacles to future enemies, he has something to talk to Princess Pavetta who has the blood of the ancients. .

After all, after leaving this time, when he comes to Sintra next time, he doesn’t know what year it will be.

And he doesn't have to wait long, nor does he have to come to the door. It won't take long for someone to come here to find him.

Sure enough, just as he expected, in the afternoon, when Wayne was sitting in the lobby teasing the bar girl, teasing the mature lady to a point of arousal, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes found the hotel.

The middle-aged man looked a little anxious. When he saw Wayne sitting in the restaurant on the first floor, his eyes immediately lit up. He quickly walked to Wayne's side, lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Master Wayne, I wonder if Master Geralt is with you. Our respected Queen Calanthe would like to invite the two masters to go to the palace now to discuss important matters."

Wayne looked up at the middle-aged man and found that he was the palace director Haxo who led him and Janot to the palace last time.

And Queen Calanthe sent someone like the palace supervisor to invite him and Geralt at such a tense moment, which was obviously very important and nervous.

Facing the nervous expression of Director Hacksall, Wayne shook his head with regret and said:

"I'm sorry, Director Haxor. My companion Geralt left the city of Sintra before noon. It's been half a day now. I guess you can't find him anymore."

Haxo was very disappointed when he heard this, but as the palace manager, he did not show his disappointment. Instead, he bowed to Wayne very politely and said:

"In this case, could you please Master Wayne to go to the palace with me now? This matter is really urgent. Please forgive me."

Of course Wayne knew what was going on, but he still pretended to be confused and thought about it for a few seconds before nodding and saying:

"Since the Queen invites you, of course I will not refuse. It just so happens that there is nothing else to do right now, so let's set off now."

After receiving Wayne's response, Director Hacksall immediately nodded happily, anxiously and eagerly leading the way for Wayne.

At the previous banquet, he had already seen how powerful this young demon hunter was, and he still had a deep sense of awe for Wayne in his heart.

About ten minutes later, the two of them, escorted by several guards, rode through the streets and entered the huge palace.

But this time, they did not stop at the Royal Palace. Haxo took Wayne into the backyard of the palace and to Queen Calanthe's drawing room. Before he arrived, several people were already waiting in the drawing room.

King East, Kratz the Sea Boar, Archdruid Mossak, and Princess Pavetta, whose eyes were reddish and sitting on the other side, crying silently.

After seeing Wayne come in, except for the princess who was in a daze, everyone else nodded slightly to him, which was regarded as taking the initiative to say hello.

After all, at the last banquet, everyone who survived had to owe Wayne a favor.

After Wayne responded politely to them, he sat down between Kratz and Mossak. He asked the Sea Boar in a low voice:

"What happened, Kratz?"

"Why did the queen call us all here?"

The two had drank wine at the banquet before, played Gwent, and bragged together. Their relationship was neither far nor close. Moreover, the Skellige people had a rough personality. It was easy to make friends with a powerful person like Wayne. .

The red-haired Kratz first peeked at his uncle, and then at Princess Pavetta opposite, then chuckled softly and said to Wayne:

"Last night, that hedgehog man Donnie disappeared."

"This morning, the royal guards searched the entire palace and every corner, but there was no clue at all."

"No one knows where that guy went or how he disappeared."

Kratz spoke with excitement and a look of gloating. When he was about to say something else, King East glared at him fiercely and shut up immediately. However, there was still a smile between his eyebrows. Obviously this matter It made him quite happy.

Wayne had a surprised expression on his face, as if it was the first time he heard about it. Then he looked at the expressions of others, then didn't speak anymore, but sat quietly in his seat and waited.

After dozens of seconds, Mossack, who was sitting on his right, suddenly asked:

"Wayne, where is Geralt? Didn't he come with you?"

Wayne shook his head and said:

"Geralt has left Cintra."

"You know, he always runs very fast when he sees some trouble."

Mossack nodded regretfully, then closed his eyes, as if falling into meditation.

A few minutes later, Queen Calanthe walked in from outside the house tiredly, wearing a gorgeous light armor.

The beautiful queen simply said hello to everyone, then sat on the chair at the head of the table, raised her head and downed a cup of tea in one gulp. After scanning the crowd, she found that Geralt had not arrived, so she also asked Wayne once.

After receiving the result that Geralt had left, the queen was slightly disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said straightforwardly:

"Everyone, last night, Pavetta's fiancé Donnie disappeared mysteriously. Those incompetent guards found nothing, no clues at all."

"So I invite you all here and want to hear your thoughts."

After speaking, Queen Calanthe looked at her daughter Pavetta and motioned for her to repeat last night's situation to everyone present.

After hearing her mother's voice, Princess Pavetta wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked up at the crowd, and told everything she knew last night.

Unfortunately, the princess went to bed early last night, and everything she described was insignificant and trivial.

After hearing this, everyone had no clues. They only knew that the princess's fiancé, Donny, probably disappeared in the study room, because on the table in the study room, there was still wine that he had not finished drinking and half-read books.

The scene was silent for a while, and no one could make any reasonable inferences. Queen Calanthe's expression became more and more irritable. She suddenly patted the table and asked directly to Archdruid Mossack:

"Mossack, I think being able to make people disappear from the heavily guarded palace, whether it is Donnie's choice or he is kidnapped, is not something ordinary people can do."

"As the only spellcaster among us, what do you think?"

When the old druid heard this, he looked up at the queen. After looking at each other for more than ten seconds, he shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Calanthe, I've already looked in that study, and I didn't find any clues. There's no trace at all. It seems like it disappeared out of thin air."

"And I also used prophecy to predict it, but the result was very unsatisfactory. Duny's fate is like a quagmire, full of variables. I can't see anything."

"But as you said, it's basically impossible for ordinary people to do this kind of thing."

Queen Calanthe was very disappointed, and then looked at her fiancé King East and his nephew Kratz.

Well, these two are reckless men. It's okay to let them participate in the battle, but it will definitely be useless for this kind of disappearance case.

Finally, Queen Calanthe looked at Wayne, and said expectantly in her tone:

"Wayne the Witcher, what do you think about this matter?"

Wayne pretended to think about it for a dozen seconds, then shook his head regretfully, and said:

"Sorry, Your Majesty the Queen, you may not know yet. I have just become a demon hunter for less than three years. It's okay for me to hunt monsters, but it would be quite difficult for me to handle such a complicated case."

When everyone present heard Wayne's words, they all looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect that the young demon hunter who showed such a strong performance at the banquet yesterday had only been a demon hunter for less than three years. This pair of people are generally older than For a witcher of fifty years, it's really quite rare.

And just when Calanthe looked back with some disappointment, and wanted to find other ways.

Princess Pavetta, who was sitting opposite a few people, suddenly raised her head and said to Wayne with tears in her eyes:

"Mr. Wayne, you must know something. When we were at the banquet yesterday, you said some strange things to me and said you would tell me the truth later. Can you please tell me now?"

As soon as the princess said this, everyone's eyes were focused on Wayne. This was the first time they had heard of this matter, and they wanted to know the truth what Wayne said.

Facing the attention of everyone, Wayne was not at all confused. On the surface, he shook his head pretending to be distressed and said:

"Your Highness, actually, regarding this matter, I originally wanted to confront Mr. Dhoni and expose his lies face to face. But later, Mr. Dhoni became your fiancé, and I felt that I should not meddle in your own business and destroy you. feelings between each other.”

"But now, Mr. Dhoni is missing. If I tell the truth, it will be one-sided and it will make you misunderstand. So I don't plan to tell you anymore!"

Wayne's hard-to-get explanation made Queen Calanthe very angry. She slammed the table hard, looked at Wayne and said:

"Wayne, don't act like a mother-in-law, act like a woman."

"Now is the time. No matter what intelligence or news you have, just speak it out boldly. Regardless of whether we believe it or not, it can provide us with some ideas anyway."

Listening to Queen Calanthe's rather bold speech, Wayne put on a wry smile on his face, then considered his words and said:

"Okay then, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Actually, before I came to Sintra, I met a fellow witcher from the south on the road, and he told me a piece of news."

"More than ten years ago, a coup occurred in the southern Kingdom of Nilfgaard. The emperor at that time was killed by a usurper, and Prince Emhyr was cursed by a warlock and turned into a monster that looked like a hedgehog. ."

"hedgehog!"

Everyone exclaimed and had some guesses about the truth that Wayne said.

Wayne nodded, his expression unchanged, and continued:

"My colleague was entrusted by the Emperor of Nilfgaard to find information about the former Nilfgaard prince. According to the information he provided, the former Nilfgaard prince was in the past. Live in Ihrenwald."

"And he also told me a special piece of news. He said that Prince Emhyr also had an evil warlock who cooperated with him. Together, they planned a chance encounter and an accident to take advantage of King Rognar's unexpected son. , to lift his curse."

"So, when I met the Uchion who claimed to be from Uhlenwald, I thought that Princess Pavetta was a pitiful deceiver."

As he spoke, Wayne looked at the people with different expressions and said hesitantly:

"But now, my fellow demon hunter has returned to Nilfgaard, and Duny has also disappeared. I don't know who the so-called evil warlock is."

"So I think it's better not to tell you about such uncertain news."
