The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 813 The Mead Banquet of the Skellige Islands (2)

At this time, I heard Bierna express her thanks here: "Ms. Yennefer, Ms. Margarita, thank you for coming to pay tribute to my husband."

Ye Naifa replied very solemnly: "I am an old acquaintance with King Bran, and the archipelago has lost a great man."

Bierna is very fond of this sentence: "It is true... We must try our best to minimize the impact of this tragedy."

"Bran is a great king." Yennefer reiterated again.

"And he needs a qualified heir." Bierna took up the words, and then threw a brick to attract jade and put forward a word that was not suitable for the local tradition.

"So you already have the right candidate?" Margarita added.

"Most of the problems in the archipelago come from the non-hereditary ruling system." Bierna seemed very resentful about this. "Anyone can become a king and abolish the rules left by the previous king."

Ye Naifa didn't dare to go deep into this topic... At least she couldn't start it, so she quickly responded with a conservative answer: "The king of the islands is more like a symbolic position in a sense."

"This also needs to be changed." Bierna babbled out her inner thoughts as if grasping at straws, "In this chaotic era, a strong leader with real power is needed."

To be honest, after saying this, Bierna may not have the intention of asking for help with the help of Yennefer, the envoy of the Emperor of the Nilfgaard Empire - a hereditary prince of the Skellige Islands, as long as the Emperor of the Nilfgaard Empire nods , may not have heart-wrenching thoughts.

After all, according to Margarita, the Skellige Islands have always been plundered for a living, and Nilfgaard is basically their favorite target of plundering—there is even some national hatred and family hatred mixed in, so Emhyr also had a headache.

But fortunately, there was no chance for Ye Naifa to continue talking about these words - because it happened that Geralt and Xie Yuan also caught up with the female companions at this time.

"Can you introduce us?" Geralt spoke first, like a gentleman.

Because of this interruption, Yennefer was able to quickly change the topic, and then introduced Geralt and Xie Yuan: "This is my friend, Geralt and Yuan."

Then he turned to Geralt and introduced Bierna: "This is Bierna, the widow of the late King Bran."

"Now it's the Queen Mother." Bierna explained sadly, and then bowed to leave, "Geralt, and Yuan, unfortunately, on this occasion today, I can't reserve a few people to chat slowly like usual, Please excuse me."

After the gloomy Bierna left, the topic of the few people began to become more relaxed... But because of the presence of Xie Yuan and Margarita, they did not fall into a sentimental tone.

But Yennefer was surprised that Geralt finally listened to her persuasion this time, and of course she was more happy to meet Geralt again.

It's a pity that sorceresses are generally lovers of political conspiracy, and Yennefer is no exception-they can't easily and happily attend the banquet, they have to do something.

The good news is that Margarita and Xie Yuan don't need to participate, but it's better to have a good drink and attract everyone's attention.

On Geralt's side, he has to do secret affairs with Yennefer, and in order to deal with it, Geralt can't drink alcohol along the way.

For Xie Yuan, this is no problem, but for Geralt, I don't know if there is any problem, but in front of Ye Naifa, he promised that he would not drink a glass of wine except to see her...for a good night.

This made Yennefer lose his mind for a short while, and then the two had a small talk based on Geralt's beard.

After entering the castle, the person who received several people was a middle-aged man with curly hair wearing a yellow waistcoat with a red background. After Yennefer’s introduction, everyone knew that his name was Arne Ward, a member of the Kratzquet family. Castle Steward.

Geralt returned the salute very casually, and praised the intensive scale of the reception, and then continued to ask to find Kratz to talk.

However, Arneward had already been ordered by Kratz to let Geralt have a drink at the banquet before talking with him.

The guests do as they please, so the four of them soon arrived at the place led by Arne Wald... It's just that the guy who greeted the visitors was a bit unusual.

The red-haired Caris has the freckled face of Western women. As an archipelago, he has a boldness that mainland women don't have... In a sense, you can treat her like a man.

It was she who asked Geralt to come and sit in this seat - because she wanted to see what the notorious witcher really looked like.

But Geralt also pointed out one point: "We met before, don't you remember?"

But Caris's reason was even more unreasonable and strong. After all, they only met this witcher uncle when they were very young. How could they still have this impression now?

Out of the etiquette of the host, Caris introduced the identities of the other people at the same table to the visitors-basically they and she are the sons and daughters of the lords of the Skellige Islands... Of course, there is only one daughter, that is Karis of Kratz.

Geralt didn't have much restraint, he sat on the vacant seat proudly, the sorceress didn't have any qualms, and Xie Yuan didn't even have any hesitation.

After sitting on the seat, Xie Yuan picked up a wooden mug filled with honey wine and poured it down his throat, then smacked his lips to recollect it... Well, when it comes to rum, Xie Yuan has also drank glutinous rice liqueur , The honey wine made from this honey has always been known only by its name, but never seen in person. I didn't expect to catch up with it today.

The taste is really good, a little slippery, and sweet but not greasy... This lord's crafted mead really has a set.

Because he likes this taste, and Xie Yuan has no intention of commenting on what happened at the banquet—as long as no one has any intention of killing him, why should he care about trivial matters in the Middle Ages?

It's better to drink honestly... You know, in other worlds, Xie Yuan seldom meets the time when he can drink honey wine-the real sweet wine besides glutinous rice sweet wine and red wine is also walking on the sea Time for some rum.

It happened to happen this time, Xie Yuan planned to drink enough, and then stopped thinking about drinking it in the future - this thing is not scarce, but unfortunately, it is difficult to meet the opportunity to get mead in any other environment where he walks .

However, Xie Yuan's drinking here is refreshing, but Geralt is so bitter that he wants to talk to a group of brats about the fact that the lord's daughter is not worse than the lord's son, and he almost gets dragged to drink for fun!

He almost left this table with contempt and shock in his eyes, and hurried to the next table.

But before standing up, Geralt did not forget to call Xie Yuan——Xie Yuan has no limit on whether to drink or not, so in order to stop drinking reasonably and majesticly, Geralt needs Xie Yuan.

Besides, Xie Yuan has already drank a jug of honey wine at this time, which is enough to make a normal Skelliger islander drunk, but Xie Yuan looks like a hungry person just now. It's like drinking a full bowl of soup, and the expression on his face is still unfinished.

And after standing up, Geralt couldn't help squinting his eyes—it's because Xie Yuan's movements are still sensitive... Honey wine is not like plain water to him!
That's right!Now is the perfect time to “drink more water”.

Geralt and the others began to circle around the other wine tables, and only then did the heirs of the lords see a wine jar where Xie Yuan was sitting just now... This man just filled a large jar of honey. Drunk all the wine - not even the slightest bit tipsy.

This got Caris and the others excited.
