176. Chapter 176 An unexpected letter



(Due to the plot, there is a delay. I will update one chapter at noon and two chapters in the afternoon.) When Wayne came out of the royal tomb facing the sunshine, holding the little princess wrapped in curtains, King Foltest and the two sorceresses beside him all came up to him excitedly.

The king at this time was no longer a powerful ruler, but like an ordinary father, an ordinary man who had lost his children and his most precious family, and then regained them.

He looked at the girl in Wayne's arms with an excited expression. His hands were shaking a little, and his tone could no longer maintain its dignity. He asked anxiously, "How is she, demon hunter? Is this my daughter Yada?"

Wayne handed the princess in his arms to Foltest's arms. Seeing that His Majesty carefully held his daughter as if she were his most precious treasure, he thought for a few seconds before speaking, "The curse has been lifted temporarily, Your Majesty."

Foltest's hand holding his daughter trembled slightly, and he frowned, and asked Wayne with some anger and confusion:

"For the time being, you mean for the time being, what's going on, witcher?"

Wayne's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a professional tone:

"Princess Adda slept in a sarcophagus for seven years, and was cursed and awakened into a vampire bird."

"This evil curse has taken root in her life and it is almost impossible to completely remove it."

"However, Your Majesty, you can rest assured for the time being. The princess' curse has indeed been expelled. As long as there is no interference from other magical forces, the princess can live like a normal girl."

"But as an evil force deeply rooted in her life, some of her personality and behavior will be affected by this force, such as her love of eating raw meat, her wild and irritable personality, etc. In addition to your further education and correction, you must also be on guard against some conspirators or people with malicious intent."

"Perhaps at some point, they will use the curse in the princess' body to turn her back into a vampire bird, causing an irreparable tragedy."

Wayne, who knew what was going to happen in the future, took the lead in giving His Majesty the King a shot of prevention, then bowed slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, please leave the rest of the matter to the warlocks who are better at dealing with curses. This is not something we demon hunters are good at."

But obviously, compared to the sorceress, the king in front of him trusted the demon hunter more. He looked down at his daughter, thought for dozens of seconds, and said:

"Thank you for your reminder, Demon Hunter. If my daughter turns back into that kind of monster due to some events in the future, I hope you can come as soon as possible and help me again."

"This is a request from a father, not a king."

Ding! [Removing the Curse of the Vampire Bird] Master Level, Completed.

Gain: 342 experience points, one master-level treasure chest.

Ding! Triggering a chain task, [A request from the King's father! ], do you want to accept it?

………………

The matter of the vampire bird was resolved smoothly. Not only did he complete a master-level mission, but he also obtained a master-level chain mission. According to the last experience from Borch, chain missions like this generally reward ability points, which makes Wayne very much looking forward to it.

King Foltest was indeed a wise and generous ruler. The day after Wayne lifted Princess Adda's curse, the reward for this commission was delivered to him.

Originally, in addition to the prize money of up to 3,000 orens, there was also a letter of nobility ennobling ceremony. The respected Lord Wayne could rise from a commoner to a baron of the Kingdom of Temeria and also obtain a piece of territory.

At this point, the vampire bird incident was finally temporarily over. The king rescued his daughter and found the murderer. Wayne received the bonus and the king's promise.

Triss and Keira were also in a good mood. Because of their performance, the two sorceresses had gained the king's trust to some extent and were able to obtain more rights in the position of royal advisers.

That night, at Kayla's instigation, Triss went to Kayla's mansion and had another pleasant communication with Wayne.

After a night of joy, everyone's life returned to normal. Counting the time, it has been more than half a month since Wayne returned to the Witcher world. According to the speed of time in the two worlds, the six months agreed upon by him and Ford, the butler of Wayne Manor, is not far away.

This time, he originally planned to let Berengar go to Middle-earth with him and let this witcher live in that world permanently. He could not only help him manage Wayne Manor, but also take advantage of the time difference between the two worlds to quickly train witcher apprentices there.

Unfortunately, Wayne's ancient blood is still at the initial stage of being unlocked. Apart from himself and his equipment, he cannot take anyone else with him across the world.

Unless one uses ability points to open a temporary space channel, it is impossible to bring Berengar into Middle-earth.

However, ability points are so precious that they cannot be wasted unless necessary. So after some thought, Wayne temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking people to Middle-earth. He planned to stay in Vizima for a few days and then return to Middle-earth to continue his journey of honing his skills.

At this moment, a letter from another country was delivered to his home by the postman.

Wayne was surprised. Based on the people he knew in this world, it was hard to imagine that someone would send him a letter.

When he opened the envelope, he found that the sender was the famous White Wolf Geralt, his witcher brother.

The content of the letter also surprised Wayne very much. It actually invited him to come to Cintra in early September to attend the Cintra Bride Selection Banquet and serve as a guard for the current Princess Pavetta of Cintra at the banquet.

The bride selection banquet hadn't happened yet? He had originally thought that it would happen in June or July, but he didn't expect it to happen in September.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not very surprising. It seems that there is a conflict in the settings of Ciri's birth time in the original book and the game. If Ciri was born on May Day, Princess Pavetta must have been secretly having an affair with the hedgehog man for several months, and she must have been pregnant for one or two months.

Thinking of the agreement between himself and Butler Ford, Wayne was hesitant, not knowing whether to attend the banquet.

It is already mid-August, and there are less than twenty days left until the time Geralt agreed to meet. With the speed of the magic carpet, if he really wants to go to Cintra, it will only take two or three days.

However, considering that this bride-selection banquet is also a very important turning point in the plot of the entire Witcher series, according to the convention of system tasks, I am afraid that this task should also be a master-level task.

After considering for a long time, Wayne finally couldn't bear to give up a master-level treasure chest and several hundred experience points.

I plan to take advantage of the fact that there is still plenty of time and make a brief return to Middle-earth to make some arrangements before setting off for Sintra.

Whether it is the future Emperor of the South who dances on his grave, or Ciri's mother, Princess Pavetta who seems to be a source sorcerer, or the many nobles at the bride-selection banquet, Queen Calanthe, it would be a good choice to take this opportunity to meet them.

Moreover, the legendary Dryad Forest is also near Sintra. I wonder if I will have the chance to see the legendary Dryad this time.
