Chapter 186 The Ancient Accident Rate (Thanks to the boss Qiankun Day and Night Only Me Wanjie Tony for the reward)
Skellig people believe in commitment, courage and glory. For these rough guys living on the islands, glory is more important than life. .
Facing the questioning of her closest ally, King East, Queen Calanthe showed the weakness of a woman for the first time. Her face turned red, her lips trembled, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Queen Calanthe's emotional performance immediately caused a commotion among the guests. They looked around for weapons. Some picked up chairs, some picked up metal plates, and some picked up candle bases. They shouted that they wanted to wash away their humiliation with blood. Everyone looked angrily at Uchion in the center of the banquet hall.
For these princes and nobles who are affiliated with the Cintra vassal state and their own country, they certainly do not want to see the princess of Cintra marry a weirdo with unknown origins, and let an inexplicable person seize the throne they have coveted for so long.
King East took the lead to stop the chaos among the guests. He insisted on waiting until Queen Calanthe and Uchion made the matter clear.
At this moment, Baron Alan Burt, whose nickname was Gucka Tower, suddenly stood up and said loudly:
"I know that many people have their own opinions on this matter, but dear gentlemen, we are When you are in the royal palace in Cintra, you should maintain the most basic etiquette." "
So Queen Calanthe, please allow me to express my opinion."
After hearing this, Queen Calanthe looked at Baron Gatora and said slowly He said in a slow voice:
"You all have your own opinions, but as the one who has the most say on this matter, no one has asked me for my opinion." "
If you want me to give my daughter to this weirdo, I will never Maybe."
Uchion was also anxious, and he shouted loudly:
"But King Rognar's oath..."
But before he could finish his words, Queen Calanthe slammed the golden cup on the table, interrupted his speech.
The queen exhaled softly, and looked back at Baron Gutta, a friend of the royal family, and said: "
Go ahead, Baron, but you'd better keep your story short."
Baron Gutta bowed to the queen, and then said After the guests nodded slightly, he said loudly:
"Indeed, a weirdo made a weird request, but in the face of the ancient law of accident, we can't pretend that we haven't heard this request." "
According to the law of accident, A person who saves others does have the right to make all kinds of strange requests." "
Sometimes it may be to give me the first thing that greets you, and sometimes it may be to give me something you didn't expect to show up at your house. Give me something."
"And such a thing may often be a child, a child chosen by fate."
Queen Calanthe frowned, knocked on the table, and said:
"To make a long story short, Baron."
Baron Gurtta Bowing slightly again, he said to the guests:
"Dear gentlemen, the ancient law of accidents is not false. Many legendary heroes in ancient times were the children of fate chosen in this way. On the contrary, many people violated them. In the end, they all suffered the punishment of fate and received a tragic fate." "The
famous Queen Zevelena became the queen of Medina with the help of a dwarf, but she was unwilling to give up her The child was given to a dwarf, and he was driven away by magic." "
Soon after, both the queen and her children died of the plague." "
Behold, under the witness of the gods, no matter who is the How noble, no one can be safe after playing tricks on fate."
Faced with this view, Queen Calanthe's face became even more ugly. In fact, there are many such examples in history. Many people do not believe in fate, but Fate does exist, and it is precisely because of this that everyone is so afraid of fate.
"Sit down, Baron, and don't tell us any more legends like this."
However, Baron Gaota did not sit down, but bowed slightly to the queen.
"Dear Queen, please allow me to continue."
"In ancient legends, the human king kept his promise, so we vassals are loyal to the king, and all our privileges come from our respect for the people. Promise."
"But now, do we have to question these promises?"
Queen Calanthe was speechless by Baron Gutta's words. She was silent for a few seconds, as if she had made great determination, and then slowly He said:
"My lords, you deserve a reasonable explanation." "
This Uchion is telling the truth. My stupid husband made such a stupid promise." "
But the Baron's words reminded me, I am not only a mother, but also a king. I will discuss the feasibility of this matter at the noble council tomorrow." "
And the distinguished knights here, I can only express my deepest feelings for the ridicule you have received. I deeply apologize."
The guests immediately went into an uproar after hearing this. King East sighed deeply and said,
"Calantha, you are openly encouraging bloodshed."
Such a statement by the queen immediately made everyone present. The knights found the reason, and they began to look for various weapons, shouting that because of the humiliation, they wanted to have a knight's duel with Uchion.
As for whether Uchion is still alive after the duel, that depends on his ability.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, and when Uchion was standing on the field and was about to be surrounded by a group of people, Geralt finally reacted. He stood up first, smashed the chair heavily, and shouted to everyone :
"Perhaps there is no need to dislodge the noble council
at all." Hearing Geralt's loud speech, everyone present looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what he meant.
Seeing Geralt's statement, Wayne was no longer in a state of watching the show. He had noticed that as the situation on the field became tense, Princess Pavetta behind him had tensed up and seemed to be in an explosive state. the edge of.
As a natural sorcerer, the magic power hidden in the princess's body is much stronger than that of a demon hunter who has become a monk. And this girl is in the period of passionate love and is pregnant with Uchion's child. I'm afraid no matter who wants to harm her Hedgehog man, what he has to face is a terrifying attack from a source warlock with full magic power.
Geralt paused for a few seconds, then looked at Uchion and said,
"I said there is no need to convene a noble council. You know what I'm talking about, Uchion?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, , Uchion took a step forward and said loudly to Geralt:
"I just heard what the queen said. She found an excellent way to get rid of me." "
Okay, I accept your challenge, unknown Knight."
Geralt saw that Uchion misunderstood what he meant, so he shook his head and said calmly:
"I'm not here to challenge you, but to ask you to prove something."
Queen Calanthe understood instantly Knowing Geralt's intention, she didn't care to call him Ravix anymore, and shouted to the witcher:
"Geralt, sit down, don't challenge my patience."
But Geralt did not. Ignoring Queen Calanthe, he looked at Uchion and said,
"You must prove that there is indeed a bond of destiny between you and Princess Pavetta." "The
ancient law of accidents stipulates that only the child's permission can be confirmed. Whether the oath is valid."
"This can prove that you are indeed bound together by fate."
When the nobles among the guests saw that Geralt actually wanted to help Uchion speak, they immediately shouted:
"Who are you? ?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you boast in front of the ancient law of accident?"
Faced with such questioning, Arch Druid Mossack, who had remained silent, finally stopped being silent. He walked out of the crowd and said loudly:
"He is Geralt the White Wolf. He is also an accidental son. It was in Driven by fate, he became what he is today."
Mossak enjoyed a lofty status in the Skellig Islands, and was a friend of the royal family recognized by Cintra. Faced with the words of the Archdruid, Many people didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but some people still asked in confusion:
"Accidental Son, what does he do?" Hearing this, the Archdruid was silent for a second, and then said loudly:
"He is a demon hunter Man."
In an instant, the field became quiet. Indeed, the demon hunter, who was born as the son of an accident, is more qualified than anyone else to talk about the law of accident, because this ancient law exists in every demon hunter. Human hearts are sacred. It is the most common method used by the older generation of demon hunters to select new demon hunters. Facts have proved that the survival rate of accidental children in demon hunter experiments is indeed the highest.
And just when everyone was silent, the bell announcing the arrival of midnight suddenly rang.
Wayne noticed that the strange magic surrounding Princess Pavetta, Uchion, and everyone present became thicker.
After hearing the midnight bell, Queen Calanthe seemed to have received some signal, and suddenly said to Uchion:
"Okay, it's time to fulfill your promise, but before that, you should also keep your promise. , Take off your mask."
However, Uqiong didn't take any action, he just stood there blankly, as if in a daze.
Wayne knew that the bell just sounded was just a trick played by Queen Calanthe, in order to force Uchion's prototype to appear as a hedgehog before midnight.
Thinking of this, Wayne looked at Geralt and saw that Geralt's whole body was tense and seemed ready to take action at any time. When Wayne looked at him, he nodded to Wayne expressionlessly.
The content of this master-level mission is to assist Geralt and make the banquet develop as he expected. Wayne did not hesitate. Anyway, after the banquet is over, he will take the initiative to find Princess Pavetta or return. Together with Queen Calanthe, she told them the Hedgehog Man's lies.
By that time, Geralt and Ciri's fates have been connected. It depends on what Queen Calanthe and Princess Pavetta think about the hedgehog man, whether they want to be killed or chopped into pieces.
The scene was deadlocked for a while, but Uzion still took off his mask. His funny appearance like a hedgehog immediately aroused the ridicule of the guests, and Queen Calanthe also showed a winner's smile, proud and cruel.
However, Uqiong acted very calmly. He said to the queen:
"When King Rognar told you that he made a promise, he should have also described my appearance." "
It seems that in order to deal with me, you also You really put in a lot of effort."
"Not only did I instigate the knights present to attack me, I even invited a demon hunter." "
In the end, they even resorted to such a childish trick to humiliate me, but you have to know, You are humiliating yourself."
Queen Calanthe was furious at Uchion's ridicule, and she shouted loudly:
"That's enough, let's end it."
As she said that, the queen looked at the seat next to her. Her daughter asked loudly:
"Pavetta, you should now know what kind of monster this guy who wants to get you is." "
According to the ancient tradition of the law of accident, the choice now is yours. On your body."
"The answer is yes, you will become the trophy of this monster. The answer is no, you will never have to see this ugly monster again."
Hearing Queen Calanthe's question, everyone present turned their eyes to At this time, the princess looked a little pale and her mood swings were very strong.
Perhaps these ordinary people can't feel anything, but Wayne, Geralt, and Archdruid Mossack who are present can clearly feel that the magic in the entire hall has become extremely heavy, as if A pair of shackles pressed the three of them so hard that they couldn't breathe.
Wayne sighed in his heart. If Princess Pavetta was forced, it would be okay, but this princess is now devoted to her sweetheart, and she is still pregnant with the hedgehog boy's child.
At this moment, the voice of Arch Druid Mossak came to the ears of Wayne and Geralt. The old Druid said in an old voice: "Be
careful not to let Queen Calanthe destroy it." For the sake of her and Pavetta." After
hearing this, Wayne turned to look at Geralt. Geralt's face was also a little pale under the pressure of magic, but he still nodded firmly at Wayne. The leader recognized the old Druid's handling method.
Under everyone's attention, the pale Princess Pavetta suddenly raised her head, looked at the hedgehog-looking Uchion affectionately, and said, "I do." In an instant, the entire banquet hall was filled with
excitement
. Everyone became quiet, and huge magic power began to gather around the princess. The pressure on Wayne, Geralt and Mossack was relieved, but their expressions became more solemn, and they looked at Pavey in surprise. Tower Princess.
Regarding this situation, Wayne couldn't help but be a little stunned. This was the first time he experienced the power of the indigenous warlocks. Princess Pavetta was just an ordinary person who had not learned any magic knowledge. She only relied on instinctive control. To be able to gather such powerful magic power can only be said to be a worthy owner of the ancient blood.
After hearing the princess's answer, Queen Calanthe slowly slumped down on the throne, with no expression on her face.
After receiving the princess's answer, Uqiong mocked everyone like a wronged criminal:
"Everyone has heard that my rights have been confirmed. Now what other means do you have to stop me?"
"Hide Blades, or more witchers?”
"I hope to take Pavetta away now. Of course, I don't mind a little entertainment." "For example,
let the noble Queen Calanthe lead her daughter's hand to me and give her white hand to me. Me."
Hearing the hedgehog man's provocative speech, Wayne instantly felt what it meant to seek death.
Sure enough, as the hedgehog man spoke like this, the originally calm guests immediately became commotion.
Kratz, the Sea Boar, had a bad temper. He yelled,
"What kind of bullshit is this?"
Then he was the first to hold back and picked up a meat-cutting knife on the table, ready to teach Uchion a lesson.
And a knight named Lin Faen also picked up his weapon and rushed towards Uqiong.
Queen Calanthe couldn't bear it anymore. She shouted, "Guards!" Then the whole banquet hall became a mess.
Seeing this situation, Wayne didn't want to wait any longer. He rushed in front of Uchion at extremely fast speeds, and punched him in the hedgehog's face before the movements of the Sea Boar and Lin Faen.
Anyway, this mission is just to save the life of the hedgehog man, so that Princess Pavetta and Queen Calanthe will not suffer the backlash of fate. As for whether the hedgehog man is injured, that is just a trivial matter.
Moreover, there are not many opportunities to defeat the future Southern Emperor like now.
Wayne's punch was neither light nor heavy. Under the stunned gaze of the hedgehog man, he punched him on the cheek, directly interrupting his arrogant speech, causing him to stagger and spit out a few words. tooth.
King East also knew the importance of the law of accidents. This strong man showed no mercy and punched his nephew Kratz in the face. He staggered and fell to the banquet table, while the bagpipes on the side The hand took the opportunity to hit the bagpipe on Kratz's back, smashing the bagpipe into pieces.
And when Lin Faen, the knight holding the weapon, rushed towards Uchion with a ferocious expression, he was directly hit by Wayne's Alder Sign on the chest of the armor, beating the knight like a roll. Like a gourd, it rolled four or five meters on the ground and hit the wall of the throne room.
At this moment, upon receiving the Queen's order, a large group of guards rushed into the banquet hall.
Queen Calanthe no longer had the same glamorous and confident temperament as before. She pointed at Uchion and shouted hysterically: "Guards, kill
that monster quickly."
After receiving the queen's order, those The heavily armed guards immediately swarmed towards Uchion who was stunned by Wayne like a swarm of bees.
