Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

Noon the next day.

Although Queen Calanthe's expression was not good-looking, she still formally invited everyone from the Demon Hunter Order to a rather grand thank-you banquet in the hall of the Sintra Palace.

Good wine, good food, resplendent.

There were not many people attending this banquet, and they were all Queen Calanthe's most trusted people.

Including the King of East, the Archdruid Mossak, the chief of the royal palace guard, and the two interior ministers of the royal court of Sintra.

After drinking and eating, Queen Calanthe took out her reward, which was eight thousand orens, almost twice as much as King Foltest.

Moreover, this queen is indeed someone who is willing to spend money. When she spoke, she hinted that as long as Wayne is willing to serve him, she will give up a baron title and a small town as her territory to make him the owner of Sintra. noble.

Of course, this method may be a great reward for ordinary people, allowing them to do anything.

However, whether it was a bounty of less than 10,000 gold coins or a small baronetcy, our Lord Wayne did not take it seriously. He politely rejected the Queen's kindness and glanced at the faces of everyone at the banquet. After walking around for a while, he asked:

"Your Majesty the Queen, although it is a bit excessive to say this, I still want to remind you."

"Wilgefortz, the evil sorcerer who kidnapped Princess Paweta."

"Although my spell severely injured him, he did not die, but fled the Kingdom of Verden."

"This is an extremely dangerous enemy. Even among the many warlocks in the north, it is definitely a powerful being."

"He will never give up his desire for the power in Princess Pavetta. The safety of the Cintra royal family is not guaranteed."

The mission was over, and the person was rescued. He even completed a master-level mission and got hundreds of experience points and treasure chests.

At this point, of course Wayne can say whatever he wants, and he's not afraid of offending anyone anyway.

"So, His Majesty Calanthe, and His Majesty King East, you'd better spend more effort and try every means to weaken the power of Wilgefortz."

"Whether you make him a wanted criminal in the entire north, pay a lot of money to find an assassin to kill him, or put pressure on the Brotherhood of Warlocks to hand over this criminal themselves."

"But, to be honest, I don't think highly of you. With the strength of ordinary people, it is difficult to hurt a strong man of the level of Wigfortz."

"So, Queen Calanthe, I think the most reliable suggestion is that before Wilgefortz is confirmed to be solved, you'd better hide Princess Pavetta in an extremely safe place."

"Otherwise, we may not be so lucky next time and rescue the princess."

Wayne's words were quite straightforward, not as roundabout as those aristocratic languages. He paid attention to etiquette, and seemed to look down on the power of the Cintra royal family. He directly made Queen Calanthe furious after hearing this, and even got angry in public. .

However, this queen is indeed a very capable ruler. After all, Wayne and others are benefactors of the Cintra royal family. They also experienced the marriage selection banquet a few years ago, so they are the people who know the inside story best.

She would not blame anyone for a slight verbal offense.

Therefore, Queen Calanthe suppressed the anger in her heart, glared at Wayne angrily, and then glanced at Geralt who regarded her granddaughter Ciri as the son of destiny rather unhappily, and announced loudly:

"Thank you Master Demon Hunter for your advice, but this matter is of great importance. Please give us a few more days to think about it carefully."

Wayne shrugged indifferently. Anyway, he wouldn't really expect Cintra to be able to solve the problem of Wige Fortesz. As he said before, being a source warlock who is not afraid of blocking magic gold is really a problem. When you want to do something.

Most mortals have no way to fight against it.

Even if he becomes a wanted criminal in the entire north, it will only hinder the other party's actions and prevent him from appearing openly in front of ordinary people.

But for the various magical abilities possessed by the warlocks, it only caused them a little trouble.

The most important thing is the attitude of the Warlock Brotherhood. As long as the attitude of the Cintra royal family is firm enough and the resistance is strong enough.

Whether it is to successfully get the Warlock Brotherhood to stand against Vilgefortz, or to prevent the two sides from helping each other, making Vilgefortz a loner and unable to appear openly around other spellcasters and reach cooperation with them, this will This is the biggest weakening of this man.

After the dinner ended in a somewhat depressing atmosphere, Wayne returned to the luxurious hotel he bought. The first thing he did was to give Sianna an order.

"Xiana, I want to put a reward on a person's head. The reward is one million gold coins."

A reward of one million gold coins was placed on Wilgefortz's head.

This is an extremely exaggerated number. To put it bluntly, apart from the strongest countries in the northern countries, many small countries like Widen cannot afford so much money even if they empty their treasury.

For Mr. Wayne, this money may only be half a month's interest, but for many kingdoms, it is a huge wealth that can cultivate an army. It is enough to make any noble or mercenary go crazy with the bounty amount. .

Even Xianna was a little stunned. As the manager of the Wayne Chamber of Commerce, although she usually spent money lavishly, used her strong financial resources to crush many competitors, and conquered local nobles one after another, she rarely Spending so much money at one time to deal with one thing, let alone just putting a reward on one person's head.

Xianna hesitated for a second after hearing this, looked at her master with her beautiful eyes, and asked cautiously:

"Master, isn't this too ostentatious?"

"One million gold coins, if they are crowns, is enough to support an army of ten thousand people for many years, or even launch a large-scale war."

"With such a large reward, not to mention whether the mercenaries can believe this, I'm afraid even all the kings in the north will notice our Chamber of Commerce because of this, which will arouse their greed."

After hearing this, Wayne glanced at his little slave girl and was quite pleased to see that she was still able to express her thoughts frankly and did not become his yes-man.

However, he had already considered this matter and had already made up his mind, so he said nonchalantly:

"If Queen Calanthe and King East knew that someone was willing to pay such a large bounty to do this, they would definitely be willing to support it."

"With the credibility of the two countries of Cintra and Skellige standing behind this matter, no one should doubt its true trust."

"And I heard that all Skellige people are brave and take defeating powerful enemies as their lifelong honor."

"If their former king was willing to put up such a large bounty for the life of a certain villain, he would definitely be able to attract a large number of warriors to do this."

"When this matter becomes known to everyone in the north, enough people are involved, and fermentation occurs quickly enough, even if the Warlock Brotherhood wants to handle this matter in a low-key manner, they will be coerced and unable to do so."

"This is a wealth that is unimaginable for ordinary people. It is enough to make anyone betray. Wigfortz will have no place in the north. Even if he escapes to the southern kingdom, he must be careful of the backstabbing of some people around him."

"This is a conspiracy. The power of money is enough to make everyone flock to it. But to me, as long as I can achieve my goal, this small amount of money is nothing."

After hearing this, Xianna thought for a while, then looked at her master with some admiration, and meekly followed him.

Indeed, as the master said, even someone like her who had seen the golden mountains and seas of Kaer Morhen would be shocked by such a sky-high price. I am afraid that it would be difficult for anyone to resist the temptation of such money.
