The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 811

The Port of Kelzhu made Xie Yuan truly feel that he had come to a medieval city, with a tall castle, but not a bustling street...everything seemed so simple.

Xie Yuan and Margarita could only come to the periphery of the funeral crowd, but Geralt could squeeze a little space in front - not only because Xie Yuan had the title of Nilfgaard on him, but also because he didn't know anyone The people of Skellige did not know Lord Bran, and were not at all interested in his funeral.

However, fortunately, there is a living dictionary of Margarita by her side, and she can help Xie Yuan introduce King Bran's life and the general trend of the Skelliger Islands.

To put it simply, the ecology of the archipelago is complex, the climate is changeable, and it belongs to the cold area with rainy and windy weather.Compared with inland, crop cultivation is more difficult, but some islanders still seize the opportunity to cultivate some crops in relatively warm summer.The main livelihood of the people on the island is still fishing, hunting, trading and robbery-the pirate ship they encountered before may actually be the father, son or brother of a certain village here.

Politics in the Skellige Islands is much shorter than that of neighboring Novigrad: Skellige islanders value freedom above all else, a Skellige fisherman has almost equal rights to a family lord, high and low The class conflict among the crowd is also relatively mild... But this is also likely to be due to the fact that compared with the lords and the bottom, they do not have too many means of production.

Skellige is a feudal kingdom headed by a king, with the heads of each family enjoying great autonomy in their respective lands.The Skellige throne is not traditionally hereditary and the king is elected by the lords of the seven largest families spread across the six large islands in a traditional electoral assembly.In reality, however, kings usually come from the most powerful family, or are related to that family.

Now the full name of the Bran King who was sent to the ship for the local boat funeral is Bran Tursek, nicknamed "The Conqueror".His reign was honorable and respectable, according to critics.Though some complain that he prefers plundering to solving long-standing problems in the Isles, and is too indulgent to his wife's babbling.Some people connect the two, thinking that Bran goes to sea to fight because he doesn't want to face his family affairs.

But now he was dead, voluntarily killed in a duel with the grizzly bear—an honorable death in the eyes of the locals.

At the funeral, Xie Yuan saw through the crowd outside that the boat carrying King Bran's body was gradually moving towards the deep water area under the human power of several people.

But at this moment, a sudden change happened. A young woman with red hair and wearing a local long skirt seemed unable to restrain her emotions when she looked at King Bran on the boat.Even though there were others to dissuade him, he still resolutely came to King Bran's boat and lay down with him.

At this time, King Bran's long boat had already slipped into the deep water area...Even from the perspective of an oriental person, this is a process that cannot be interrupted, so everyone also acquiesced that this woman was buried with King Bran.

Soon, a middle-aged nobleman with a headband on his head and armor, drew his bow and set an arrow, then ignited a flame on the arrow, and then released it... "Whoosh!"

The off-string arrow was quickly thrown high into the sky, and then unfolded a beautiful parabola, and then perfectly fell into the haystacks laid by the longboat, and a raging fire ignited with a "wind".

It can be vaguely seen that the red-haired woman is so calmly leaning on King Bran's body, pillowing on his already cold and not beating chest... The burning long boat gradually drifted away.

The first half and middle part of the funeral ended like this. Most people showed reverence on their faces, but a few people could really show sadness—but Geralt just likes to flirt at this time, of course, because Beside him is Ye Naifa who has recovered his outfit.

Xie Yuan's hearing is very developed, so even if he is more than ten meters away, he can hear what they are saying clearly.
"You smell so good..."

"We're at a funeral!"

"You smelled so good at the funeral..."

Riding on a horse!If it weren't for an old man with a stick wearing a tall cloth hat made of deer bones on it, who was about to give a speech, I don't know what tiger and wolf words would be said here!

So is the old man!Xie Yuan cursed inwardly, can't it be later?This abrupt end of the rivalry is really exciting.

Fortunately, Xie Yuan also sensed that this old man with a tall hat should also be a spellcaster. Given the enduring druid culture in the local area, Xie Yuan guessed that this must be an arch druid, otherwise how would he be qualified to address the king? .

Before the end of the speech, the most dramatic thing was that the burly middle-aged man who lit the longship for King Bran came to the high platform to announce that the new king will choose among the newcomers of the lord's family... Those who are interested can arrange to sign up-well, this method is very old-fashioned.

The funeral ended just like that, and Yennefer hurried up to hug Margarita: "Margarita! It's great to see you all right."

Margarita also hugged Yennefer: "I am also very happy to see you. It is a blessing to see that you are not bad."

Ye Naifa just wanted to continue talking about the past, but when he saw Xie Yuan, he rolled his eyes and asked, "So you are also joining the journey to find Ciri. Come on, tell me how the situation is now?"

So the four of them sat in a circle and described what happened during this period, including what happened to Waylon, what happened to Novigrad, and even what happened when Margarita was rescued and what happened to Uma.

Yennefer was amazed by these stories, and was ready to elaborate on them later.

And just at this moment, the nobleman who ignited and fired the bow and arrow, the guy named Kraqi came to Geralt and called out his nickname: "White Wolf!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Kratch gave Geralt an undeniable task: he must attend this reception, and no excuses for his absence will be accepted.

And just after Clark left, Yennefer also gave full play to her true qualities as a wife and mother, and also set a requirement for Geralt: she must wear a dress-and she has decided on the style on her own.

After speaking to Geralt, Ye Naifa immediately took Margarita away in the name of "reminiscing about the past", and did not take any action against Xie Yuan at all-but this is normal, Margarita It's not someone from Xie Yuan, but after Novigrad doesn't need protection, she is free.

So only Geralt and Xie Yuan looked at each other, and then the white wolf asked, "You...have you brought a dress?"

"You mean the black dress for meeting Emhyr?" Xie Yuan blinked, nodded for confirmation, "I'm sure I'm wearing it."

"Uh...other than that?" Geralt looked around cautiously, and after confirming that no one had heard what Xie Yuan said just now, he explained in a low voice, "Basically, people here treat everyone in Nilfgaard I hate you so much, you are begging for a beating if you wear the Nilfgaardian dress."

"Oh... there is such a saying?" Xie Yuan suddenly realized, but he was not worried, "I really only have this one set of classical dresses, but I also have two sets of more modern dresses... Well, I can actually wear them There's only one set, and the other is my military uniform, why?"

Thinking of the dissatisfaction on Geralt's face, Xie Yuan suddenly had a smirk: "You want to leave that dress to me, and then you can just wear your leather armor?"

Geralt laughed too... neither acknowledging nor denying it.

"Let's go and have a look first." Xie Yuan thought for a while without refusing, "If you want to dress nicely, you don't have to wear the regular clothes you're wearing right now... After all, your armor is indeed stinky, How about I can transform the inner lining of your dress into a little soft armor fiber, so that your dress can be turned into light armor?"

"You still have this ability?" Geralt suddenly became interested, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
