The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

According to Geralt's narration on the way, Xie Yuan also understood why he helped Lugo's child.

To put it simply, Geralt is addicted to quests, or in other words, he wants to earn some income from quests to alleviate his financial dilemma.

He ran to the other side of the Great Skellige Islands to handle a lighthouse extermination job.

Gerald, the publisher of the mission, is a brave, resourceful and enthusiastic person. He eased the situation when Geralt was involved in a conflict where locals discriminated against outsiders, and invited Geralt to have a drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Geralt wants Geralt to deal with a case of a haunting at a nearby lighthouse, which he wants to restore to functioning.

The remuneration should be negotiable, so Geralt went to the lighthouse to investigate, but the result was not very good because the task was very difficult.

According to Geralt, this is a penitent spirit - a rare variant of the demon spirit. The place where it appears will be immediately shrouded in thick fog and darkness, and those who break into it will never be able to come back.

But as the name suggests, the appearance of the penitent spirit means that someone has made a big mistake and at the same time realizes that he has made a big mistake, so he is entangled by this kind of demon spirit... It seems to be similar to Shim.

The person who made a big mistake this time was the lighthouse keeper Mikhail. This is a bad guy who often uses the lighthouse to provide wrong guidance and cause passing ships to run aground.

For the sake of his own life, Mikhail had no choice but to help Geralt cut off the connection where the penitent spirit was bound here. As for his guilt... this is not something that a demon hunter can decide.

After all, demon hunters are always neutral unless absolutely necessary.

...Although even they themselves don’t quite believe it.

However, the matter was far from over. After they came back, the unruly and arrogant local gangsters insisted on dealing with Geralt. Geralt was eventually killed. Fortunately, Geralt avenged him.

The gangster's father sent someone to control the witcher and escorted him to the lord. In front of the madman Lugo, he hoped that Geralt would pay for his life.

But as everyone knows, Lugo obviously wanted something from him, so he sent the gangster's father away with a rogue sentence.

Geralt also saw through this, so he waited for Lugo to make a move.

Madman Lugo's intention is obvious. His only son Alan Lugo wants to be qualified as the heir, which requires completing some seemingly impossible things - especially when he chooses the Dream Cave Trial.

This thing will reflect people's deepest fears and turn terrible nightmares into reality. Only by experiencing it yourself can you know.

Although there was a madman Lugo in the past who beat Alan Lugo until his whole body was bruised, thus creating the origin of the name "Alan".

But he is an only son after all, and it is human nature to lick the calf. Therefore, in order for his only son to obtain the "Legendary" qualification more safely, and in order to prevent him from dying while obtaining the "Legendary" qualification, he needs experienced hunters. Demon's assistance.

So Geralt, who was "owed" a favor, had no choice but to assist Alan Lugo.

But in fact, the specific process of this activity is to first clean up the evil spirits in the cave. The three people led by Alan Lugo and Geralt, a total of four people, stand in front of the totem in the center. Alan then takes out a variety of Herbal medicine mixed with hallucinogenic plants was distributed to three people. After everyone took the herbal medicine, under the influence of the medicine and the totem, the originally narrow cave suddenly turned into an empty cave...

Geralt didn't seem to want to reveal the specific process, but Xie Yuan didn't care. After all, Alan Lugo showed up at the banquet. At the same time, Geralt didn't seem to be missing any arms or legs, so There's no problem.

Of course, after Xie Yuan and Geralt finished communicating about their respective tasks, he quickly looked at the entire banquet scene.

According to Arnwald when he came in, the atmosphere today was very quiet. Geralt also joked, "Isn't it good to be quiet?"

Arnwald said that "a hearty banquet would involve as much mead as blood." This seemed to him to be Skellige's custom.

Geralt's reaction was as unconventional as ever - it was far more attractive than a boring banquet full of palace intrigue.

Xie Yuan did not comment on this, but he had begun to be wary. Sometimes some words might have meant something if he was not hysterical. Xie Yuan did not come here to intervene in disputes, he just came here to get paid.

If there is blood for this... the reward will be doubled.

However, when Xie Yuanyi arrived at the banquet, he found that it was indeed... quite "quiet" - as soon as he entered, he saw two siblings, Caris and Halma, arguing wantonly.

To put it simply, both brothers and sisters have obtained the qualifications of heirs: fame, but neither wants to support the other, but wants to succeed alone.

So one brother who offended him had nothing but a beard, and the other retorted that his sister didn't even have a beard.

The younger sister mocked her brother for not being able to beat her in a personal fight. Halma's response was simple: her reputation as a "giant killer" was greater than that of Caris.

Overall, if you don't take into account the details of this giant's hunting method, and even the attrition...it is true.

But Caris didn't know this, so she could only leave angrily, and Halma looked confused in return.

Well, despite the quarrel, Xie Yuan could still see that it did not hurt the relationship between the two brothers and sisters - everyone still regarded the dispute as a healthy competition of who was stronger and who could lead the family.

This is good……

Halma saw Xie Yuan and Geralt, and immediately came over to invite: "Demon hunter, Yuan, if you are free, would you like to compete with the Vilka people in boxing? After running around for so long, you should stretch your muscles. Bar."

Geralt has nothing to do at the moment. After all, it was Xie Yuan who found the two brothers and sisters. However, Xie Yuan and Geralt are on the same side, and Clark is Geralt's old friend. There is no need to say much about friendship, so he happily accepted the invitation.

But Xie Yuan didn't have this intention. He never fought opponents of the same physical type, because no one could withstand his punch, so he asked about the current whereabouts of Arnward Clark.

Xie Yuan planned to take the reward, drink wine all night, and return to Kaer Morhen immediately the next morning to quickly set up a defense system.

There is indeed something wrong with today's banquet.

Xie Yuan found three surging figures drinking wine in different corners. They had the same decoration and behavior: animal skin cloaks, bare chests and abdomens, but they were taciturn and did not talk to others.

But these three figures are only sitting between the main exit and the side door, seeming to want to control the entrance and exit?

But there are only three of them? What's the use of three people blocking the exit? Could it be that each of these three people can fight one against ten?

Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously, but he still kept an eye on it. When he was about to open the door to the banquet, he turned on the communicator to warn Geralt.

"Geralt, you need to pay attention to the three people at the banquet who are each near a door."

Geralt, who was watching Halma's nose and face being beaten by the Wilkas, suddenly perked up when he heard Xie Yuan's words. He looked around, came to a place some distance away from the people around him, and quietly responded: "Why? Already?"

"It's nothing, it's just that their physiques seem to be different from ordinary people, and their expressions are cold, which is extremely inconsistent with the atmosphere of this banquet."

"That's all?" Although with his demon hunter instincts he thought there was something wrong with such a person, Geralt was still somewhat reluctant to observe the strange target Xie Yuan mentioned.

After all, to be honest, Geralt himself has an unusual physique and a cold expression. As long as he doesn't grin, he is extremely out of tune with the banquet atmosphere!

Xie Yuan didn’t know how to confirm his guess, but he also had a sensitive sense as a person in the security industry: “Everything else can be ignored, but where they sit, they just guard the main door and the side door. The exit, as long as they take action, they can lock the entire banquet in a short time - I don't understand why they, with only three people, have the confidence to block the exit, but their arrangement is indeed to surround the entire venue."

Speaking of this, as it related to the possibility that he might be stuck at this banquet, Geralt could only promise Xie Yuan to pay close attention to the movements of these three people. With Geralt's eyes like this, Xie Yuan went to Clark's room without any worries. Thinking about a few steps, it's impossible for the famous White Wolf to defeat three people, right?

As soon as they reached the steps, they suddenly saw a beautiful middle-aged woman in a maroon dress walking out of Clark's house angrily.

This turned out to be Bilna, the widow of King Bran and the current leader of the Tursek family.

"I wish you all the best, Your Highness." Xie Yuan performed a simple etiquette to Bi Erna using Western court etiquette, then looked up at Bi Erna's gloomy face and greeted, "Is the feast not to your liking?"

"What kind of feast is this? It's just a vegetable market!" Seeing Xie Yuan with his hands on his hips, Bi Erna pushed her hands outward in disgust, "Everyone is selling votes, just like selling sheepskins."

This is said as if you can suddenly change the general trend and tradition.

Xie Yuan, who was sneering in his heart, had a look of relief and concern on his face: "Isn't Svenridge going to fight for votes?"

Hearing this, Bilna waved her hands in disgust: "King Bran's son is born with the right to inherit the throne. He doesn't need to say anything."

Xie Yuan suddenly felt excited when he heard this, so he continued to test: "But as far as I know, whoever has more votes will be able to ascend to the throne."

Regarding this point, Bilna nodded: "Yes, but traditions also need to be abandoned. The islands should be governed by families that are trustworthy and have pure blood."

Ha, the ambition is not small.

"I guess your favorite successor has been decided."

"Of course!" Bilna vowed, "King Bran was the greatest king of Skellige for hundreds of years. The throne should be passed to Svenrej, his eldest son, and then passed down from generation to generation."

The world is at home... Haha, Xie Yuan has long since learned how to do one thing with his face and even his eyes. At this time, behind his gentle and jade-like expression, there is a mocking laugh in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, Bilna is the progressive force, and the feudal system of Jiatianxia does have a little priority over the system of co-ownership of the islands - in terms of mobilizing materials and manpower.

However, the protagonist of Family World has always needed extra-dimensional military and financial resources compared to other forces. After all, the emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses, but the Tursek family only has a transcendent status because of King Bran. How can they have the power to make other big families surrender?

Not to mention, this time Xie Yuan and Geralt came to Skellige Island to ask for help in order to defend Kaer Morhen, and they needed the power of the Quit family. Therefore, Xie Yuan's attitude is naturally in favor of the Kuite family...

Suddenly, Xie Yuan remembered the three strange men with surging energy guarding the door, and asked leisurely: "Are you ready to leave Kelzhuo?"

"We will set off at dawn tomorrow." Bi Erna also answered seemingly casually, blessing at the same time, "I wish you a happy time, Mr. Yuan."

Then Bi Erna said goodbye to Xie Yuan and walked towards the banquet hall without looking back.

Xie Yuan watched Bilna open the door and walk into the banquet hall, then directly sent a message to Geralt: "Geralt, Bilna has entered the banquet hall, keep an eye on her. Once she brings her son Svanrei, Just watch out if Kat leaves the field - that's basically a sign that they're up to something."

"You mean Bilna——" Geralt fell into shock and lost his voice after hearing this, and then became full of incomprehension, "But it's just three people."

"Then they must be three extraordinary people." Xie Yuan didn't agree with this, "Talk to Caris if necessary. The little girl is quite spirited and should be a little quick-witted. I haven't met Clark yet. It will come out soon, I hope everything is just my guess."

"Oh, damn, it may not be too late." Geralt suddenly cursed secretly, "Bilna started to pull Svanrej to leave... Now I really have a bad feeling."

"Keep in touch." Xie Yuan was unfazed by this. "If she is really stupid enough to kill everyone at the banquet with three people... then we have already learned about his actions and can offset the suddenness."

After ending the call, Xie Yuan immediately walked into the inner room.

At this time, Xie Yuan saw Clark, who was facing the fireplace. The bear-like old guy was so focused that he didn't seem to notice Xie Yuan's arrival.

Therefore, he had to speak first: "Are you not bothering me?"

"Ah, Yuan, I've been waiting for you," the old lord quickly turned his head and called Xie Yuan over loudly.

So Xie Yuan also came to the fireside and heard Clark asking here: "Geralt and Yennefer told you about your background. Whether you are a former guard general of the great empire or a visitor from another world, What do you think of our feast? How does it compare with your “dance” over there?”

"First and most importantly, there is definitely not as much wine as you." Xie Yuan felt Clark's hospitality and reciprocated the favor - but Xie Yuan did not lie. He had never seen a banquet where so much wine was opened in one go. of.

The baroness didn't drive like this last time.

"Of course, I brought out all the good wine in the cellar!" Clark was also very proud of this, "Double mead, triple mead, plum brandy from Sintra, and Absolute Spicy Mahakam liquor for the throat. When it comes to entertaining guests, beauties can rival the Quite family.”

"It seems that Clark, you are worried about your children's future." Xie Yuan said with emotion, "It's a big expense, but this is indeed something to be proud of."

Xie Yuan then changed the topic: "I saw Bi Erna came out just now. Did you talk about anything?"

"Politics," Clark answered simply, "after all, she is not interested in anything else. That bitch wants to persuade me that we must remember King Bran. For this reason, I must order my children to withdraw from the competition for the throne... And to support Svenridge in turn.”

"I think you rejected her."

"Ha! I'm not that polite," Clark said with disdain for Bilna, "I just told her to get lost."

At this point, Xie Yuan thought for a while and told the truth: "Your Excellency, I think we must rush to the banquet hall immediately to stop a conspiracy - fortunately, the white wolf is already watching."

"What happened?" Clark immediately became alert when he heard the word "conspiracy."

"There are three people who are quite abnormal from my point of view, guarding the two exits of the banquet hall." After Xie Yuan finished speaking, Clark's eyes widened, but it was not over yet, "And just now, Bi Erna Take Svenridge out of the banquet hall."

"Oh! Goddess Freya!" Clark was furious when he heard Xie Yuan's warning, "What does she want to do?! Does she want the sacred election meeting to be stained with blood?! She should be tied to the island On the boulder, a falcon pecked out her heart!”

As the current temporary leader of Skellige and a noble who has ruled for decades, even if his style is rough, he still has experience in the intrigues of nobles.

Xie Yuan's news instantly made him think of many aspects.

"We must rush over immediately!" Clark's bear arm directly grabbed Xie Yuan's hand.

But at this moment, Xie Yuan heard Geralt's message: "I think I know why only three people can block the door."

At this time, Geralt's voice had a hint of urgency: "You have to come quickly. These three people are the Wilka people I just met. They should be the cursed ones..."

"Then what?" The call was suddenly interrupted, which made Xie Yuan a little impatient, "What kind of cursed person?"

He was answered by angry bear roars, and at the same time, Geralt answered with great difficulty:

"And now they're transforming giant bears!"
