The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 815 The Banquet Ends and Exploration Begins

After talking with the heir for more than ten minutes, Xie Yuan finally felt the presence of Geralt and Yennefer again.

They seem to have experienced teleportation just now, so the space readings on their bodies seem very wrong.But when they actually appeared in front of the public, Xie Yuan showed a narrow smile.

Because he already felt that the two of them seemed to have had pheromone traces left after having a good time... Hahaha, they really are old couples.

Listen to Yennefer's so-called excuse for not being there to Arne Wald: "We... just got a little fresh air."

Of course, this was said to Geralt with a teasing look.

However, the official interview time has not yet started, because Kratz Quite suddenly stood in the middle of the hall, and he announced an important decision at the dining table.

That was the official start of the selection of King Bran's heir—and this time the protagonist was no longer the lord of the year...but their sons and daughters.

This is a choice to maintain stability. Judging from the form Margarita just quietly gave Xie Yuan's science popularization, several lords are in trouble due to economic and old enemies-if it weren't for the island's traditions and the virtue of being a spellcaster... Rui's deterrence, their civil war has already started.

But now, the helmsman of the old ship Skellige is directly given to the newcomer to choose, which can avoid some malice caused by hatred-because for the families on the island, each has a consensus to be preserved, so as long as it is not the contemporary lord who becomes The king's words will be more acceptable, and the bloodshed afterward will be slightly reduced.

After Kratz announced the rules, every lord's son spontaneously came up and handed out his weapon soon... They couldn't wait to seize the opportunity-even Bran's son was no exception.

Kratz Quater quickly brought out an ax to join the pile of weapons - not for himself, but for his son Halma.

However, this irritable and reckless guy has already gathered a boat at this time and rushed to Udvik Island - a place with beautiful scenery and delicious food, but it is a pity that recently an ice giant was destroyed and turned into a monster The raging desert island.

Still, something goes awry at a competition-style extravaganza like this -- and, as in Harry Potter and the Holy Grail of Fire, there's always drama.

Caris caressed her dagger in the dark for a long time, and after Kratz announced that her son Halma would participate in the heir election, she quickly ran over and dropped her dagger in the weapon pile, and then He also said intermittently: "Let the best lord's son... or daughter win!" Then he left without looking back.

The ceremony ended so vaguely, but Kratz also had to pour a drink down his throat, because he now understands why Caris has to go to Sparrow Island in such a hurry—that is, the Uldric's territory.

But for Caris's behavior, the people gathered around Kratz couldn't comment on it—Geralt and Yennefer are his friends, and Yennefer is even his old lover, but this is Quay family affairs.

So Ye Naifa can only use a proverb "a tiger father has no dog girl" to bypass this topic and remind him that it is time for a formal conversation.

After a while, several people met on the balcony of the castle. Geralt also officially introduced Xie Yuan to Kratz as Ciri's swordsmanship teacher and friend, and Ciri's magic teacher Margarita , all the people related to Ciri are gathered here.

However, the leader of the conversation was still Kratz, because he was in a sense the second person who had a huge causal relationship with Ciri - the first was Geralt.

Because of the law of accident, the so-called people who save others can ask for rewards according to this, asking for the first thing the rescued see when they return home, or what the rescued person does not know but actually has. thing.

In most cases, this law of accident generally refers to children, and Geralt, and all the young and strong demon hunters of the wolf school basically come from this way.

The law of accident not only has secular effects in this world, but is even one of the rules in this world that is protected by magic—constructed by fate.

And that's the relationship between Geralt and Ciri.

Kratz is different from Geralt, because when he was young, Ciri's parents... Emhyr, who was not the emperor of Nilfgaard at the time, was with Princess Pavita of Sintra, an ally of the Skellige Islands. A shipwreck occurred while going out to sea.

Although it was proved afterwards that this was Emhyr's conspiracy, and that Pavita did die in the shipwreck, Kratz, who could not say anything at the time, swore to use himself in front of Calanthe, the queen of Sintra at the time and Ciri's grandmother. life to protect Ciri.

Closer to home, in fact, according to Xie Yuan's idea, there is no need to investigate Ciri's traces in the Skelliger Islands. Now that he has found Avalak, there is no need to dawdle, and he can just undo the curse for Avalak.

But Yennefer still had the idea of ​​finding out the whole whereabouts, and after learning about Avalak's situation, she still insisted.

Because in her opinion, this Avalak may not be able to tell the truth, and in order to prevent him from constructing a lie after the curse was undone, she decided to take over Uma after detecting this place.

Geralt also let her - another selfishness is that Uma's spell is indeed a very tricky Elvish spell, which has been mutually identified by Yennefer and Margarita.

Not only is the procedure for breaking the curse complicated, but the bigger trouble is that Ye Naifa thinks that it is not worth the loss to break the curse for Avalakh at such a high price—she really wants to find a way to find Ciri without the help of elf sages, so that she You can kick Avalak away with one kick, and you don't need to talk to him.

It's selfish and refined, but Geralt doesn't object too much, because he doesn't trust any Ain Aiir who are of the same race as Eredin-if he can find Ciri without using them, he Let Uma live or die.

Now that the investigation in Skellige continues, it is inevitable that the assistance of Kratz will be needed - because the druids of the local spellcasting force here do not want to see the mage at all, and the leader, the arch druid of Mossak, even speaks Tell druids all over the island to beware of Yennefer.

Kratz opened the door of convenience-of course, this also meant that Geralt and his party needed to help the lord a little.

Poor parents all over the world, Kratz's son and daughter have all gone to dangerous places: Halma went to Udvik Island to fight against the newly-appeared ice giants; and Caris had already gone to Spyrug Island, he thinks Udrik's situation is cursed - but Kratz doesn't trust Udrik at all, and thinks it's dangerous.

In any case, both brothers and sisters have chosen a task that is almost impossible to complete in the eyes of ordinary people. Whether it can be completed or not, but as a father, Kratz wants to keep his children's lives - he has to find insurance.

Geralt agreed to the lord's request. After all, he was a friend, and he had helped a lot just now.

Now that the reminiscences are over, the rest of the journey is heading south to the seaside forests of Greater Skellige, which have been nearly destroyed by a strange magical vision.

That was everyone's next primary goal, and Margarita and Ye Naifa also left through teleportation—after all, women need more preparation.
