The Divine Hunter Chapter 4: First sight of Thanede Island
The meeting on the island was larger and more complicated than Roy expected.
The first day they arrived at Thanede Island from Gos Velen via the sea-crossing bridge, after making arrangements, they spent it at the lowest level of the island, at the Luoxia Palace located at the foot of the southeastern mountain.
Representatives from all over the north gathered here, including not only warlocks, but also some powerful people, such as Temerian nobles, Redanian government officials, and the entourage of the warlocks.
During this period, Roy vaguely saw a few familiar faces: Linus Pitt, the environmental biology master's tutor at Cowburg, and the knights of the Temerian White Rose Knights... But before he had time to say hello, he, Jero Te, and Cohen were dragged by the three sorceresses to choose clothes, get their hair cut, and learn the rules of the dinner.
Even though they knew that this meeting was bound to lead to a big fight, the sorceresses still did not allow the accompanying witchers to embarrass them in any way. Instead, they required that they show enough brilliance and dignity in the early part of the meeting. This was considered a long process. Obsessive-compulsive disorder developed in life.
The three of them endured the torture for a long time like machines, and waited until dusk before escaping from the Losha Palace. Together with a group of dressed-up men and women, they followed the upward stairs into the Aretuosa Palace on the higher floor. .
The central hall of the entire palace has a fan-shaped structure and can accommodate more than 300 people. It is unusually gorgeous and elegant.
The large candelabra with fixed lighting magic illuminates every corner of the banquet hall.
What’s even better is that these special lights make the women’s carefully decorated faces, various earrings, rings, necklaces, and large areas of skin outside their dresses all sparkle and attract attention, as if they are undergoing a process. A unique beauty pageant.
Roy just took a few casual glances and found five or six unimpressive women who were dressed very coolly, as if every piece of opaque silk cloth on their bodies was an insult to their figures and beauty.
One look at this "beautiful view" is enough to make an ordinary man blush and breathe heavily.
Of course, Roy was no ordinary man. He remained calm, holding Coral's hand and walked through the periphery of the hall to the dining table.
He kept observing, but was disappointed to find that among the hundreds of warlocks in the entire hall, none had the strength to reach the level of Wilgefortz...
He is already very low-key, but with his strong, tall and slender figure, refreshing short black hair, handsome face, young and sophisticated, and a mysterious temperament unique to the witcher, he is as popular among all male participants as Torch in the dark night.
A fat man pointed at him jealously.
There were also quite a few sorceresses who looked at him. Most of them were polite and fleeting. There were also some brave ones who looked at him with tinged cheeks, or read his mind. If they weren't around him, The sorceress Rita Nieder is not easy to mess with. They will probably just come and extend the invitation.
Roy looked at each one with appreciation.
"Does it look good? You look so absorbed?" Coral interjected a little jealously, looking at him deeply with her blue eyes, Rou Xi quietly exerted her strength, and dug her sharp nails into the flesh of his arm.
"No matter how beautiful they are, what does it have to do with me?" Roy said without changing his expression and pulled the collar that tightened his neck and almost made him breathless. It came from the most popular tunic at the moment. Human bones are broken,
His silver-grey gaze swept across the sorceress’s moist eyes and lips as soft as petals,
"The most beautiful, elegant and noble lady in the party is by my side... I just want to see more of you!"
I said this according to the experience taught by Master Dandelion, and then lovingly stroked the fire hair on Coral's shoulder.
The sorceress immediately turned from anger to joy, and thoughtfully put spoonfuls of caviar dipped in lemon juice into his mouth.
She had already learned from Yennefer what kind of elm-headed Geralt he was, both hypocritical and entangled.
In contrast, Roy, who is young, energetic, capable of learning, and considerate, is perfect!
"Well... oysters, crabs, lobsters... the food on the table is not as rich as Gawain's house, and there is no chair to rest on." Roy felt the taste of fermented sea salt in his mouth and looked at the tall and thin flower windows around him. , painted with various figures, reaching as high as the oval dome of the palace.
These windows were not closed, allowing the cold night wind to blow straight in, causing the tapestries, garlands, and flags in the alcove to sway.
"This banquet hall is drafty. Don't they feel cold in so little clothing?"
“The main purpose of the party is to socialize. There are no chairs so you can keep moving around. You can find people to say hello and chat with, so you won’t feel cold when you move around.”
"We're here anyway, my dear, relax and come with me to have a good time. Francesca is staying with the big shots of the wizarding society, so she won't be able to see her for the time being."
……
Roy and Coral were joking and chatting along the outside of the hall, looking for familiar faces.
Not far away, Triss, Syl and Margarita held hands and chatted ear to ear, while Yennefer unexpectedly dragged Geralt to the center of the banquet hall, looking around with her chest raised and her head raised.
Under the public gaze, the legendary demon hunter White Wolf was quite uncomfortable. His expression was so embarrassing that his toes could dig through the floor. If he hadn't been born with a deathly pale face, he would have turned red as blood.
"Can Yennefer commit such an exaggeration?"
"What's wrong with declaring sovereignty?" Coral smiled, "Geralt has a good appearance and temperament, and he is a mature and high-quality man who has gone through many years of life. Some colleagues like this one. Of course, there are also many people. I am interested in the identity of Yennefer's partner, and maybe I want to take a risk and try something new...
"The proud and bad-tempered Ye has made many enemies in the association. And those stinky men can't tighten their belts."
Roy was silent. He noticed a sorceress wearing a black thin silk shirt, a dark red skirt slit to the hips, and a slim figure. She smiled coquettishly and rushed towards Yennefer, hugging her warmly and hugging her. Face kisses the air next to your ears.
Obviously they smiled like flowers and acted affectionately like sisters, but there was a tit-for-tat hostility between the two women.
"Look, a provocateur is here." Coral smiled disdainfully, "Sabina of Kaedwen, a shameless slut!"
Sabina was obviously talking to Yennefer, but she kept flirting with Geralt and flirting with Yennefer's lover in front of her. Her face was blushing and shy, as if she could find a table and immediately return to her original state. .
Roy and Coral just ate melon quietly. In order to hear more clearly, Coral even cast a small spell to eliminate noise interference.
The results were beyond belief.
Gu Ling
"Geralt's performance is perfect!"
Except for kissing her hands at the beginning, he looked at Yennefer affectionately like a loyal dog throughout the whole process. Sabina had no choice but to leave because of her own trouble.
Some young warlocks watching the excitement in the hall applauded a few times.
"There is no doubt that Ye played Geralt very well during this period. I bet that the shameless mind reader can only read a piece of love from him!" Coral said meaningfully. , grabbed a bunch of red hair and patted Roy's cheek,
The latter's heart skipped a beat.
Don’t even think about making any messy noises with me!
Suddenly, a greeting interrupted his thoughts.
"Master Roy, long time no see, how are you doing?" Linus Pitt walked over from the other end of the table with a glass of vodka. He was still wearing a black jacket with a round brass brooch on it. The other hand lifted the thick glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his thin cheek revealed a sincere smile.
"It's too good to be true. By the way," the demon hunter shook the withered palms of his old friend, "Linus...this is Rita Nied...my girlfriend, a warlock."
The scholar smiled casually at Coral. His profound myopia and obsession with academics made him ignore the astonishing beauty in front of him.
Roy continued after seeing this,
"I never had the chance to tell you thank you for your help to those children. Without you, it would be impossible for a group of orphans to enter Oxenfurt Academy."
"It all depends on their own diligence and hard work. I can at best be considered as the icing on the cake." Linus shook his head modestly, "And among them, Yaou and Orfei are very talented. I made my own decisions and hired them to be rare. Zoo, do you mind if I just take up their day off?"
"I'm very grateful, that's their creation!" Roy said happily, and then asked, "Speaking of which, today is not the Northern Warlock Summit. How come you, a Cowburg scholar, can join in the fun?"
Linus turned his head and looked at the distance, where he saw a gentle warlock in a purple tights,
"I'm here with Lord Dorregaray." Linus Pitt narrowed his highly myopic eyes and cleared his throat, "As the most solemn warlock conference in the north in recent years, how can this conference not be lacking? Endangered animal protector."
His eyes were full of fighting spirit and he held out five fingers,
"Tomorrow, we will propose five measures for animal protection in front of all warlocks. I believe that those who control chaos energy are knowledgeable people, and they will definitely understand our good intentions!"
Roy looked stunned for a moment,
And Rita chuckled lightly, revealing a row of shell teeth between her coral-colored red lips,
"Dear Lord Linus, I greatly admire your noble sentiments and your desire to contribute to the balance of nature, but your idea is fundamentally wrong. I am 100% sure that most warlocks are concerned about animal protection. Not interested at all..."
Coral proudly raised her chin and extended her index finger to point at Sabina and a red-haired sorceress in a white dress not far away who were peeking at her man.
"Have you seen the high heels of those two bitches? One pair is iguana skin, the other is pearl fish skin... For them, rare animals are just resources to decorate their status and beauty."
Linus Pitt immediately glared at the two hateful women, but when he lowered his head and saw the horned dragon leather high-heeled shoes under Coral's feet, he was trembling and speechless.
The two women noticed the movement here and started whispering,
"Look, that old woman started arranging us again." Sabina licked her lips, "In front of her little concubine. Such a young, handsome, healthy man, richer than Geralt Charm, and best of all ~IndoMTL.com~ is dating Rita. Marty, I've never been so excited."
"That shameless Rita," said the red-haired sorceress next to her, "must have cast a enchantment spell on the little witcher to make him swoon and behave like this. So close and submissive."
"The witcher will not be confused by magic." Sabina shook her head,
"Is it possible that he has a soft spot for sorceresses?" The red-haired woman puffed up her strong chest and said in a low voice, "Do you think we have a chance?"
"You are so brave, you want to steal Rita Nieder's man, are you not afraid of being frozen into a popsicle by her?"
"What if he takes the initiative to send an invitation to his door?" The red-haired sorceress secretly winked at Roy,
"In this case, I will agree without hesitation." Sabina's dark eyes flashed with the aggressive light of a hungry lioness, "I am willing to do it even in the woods."
"If it were me," the red-haired sorceress said passionately, "it wouldn't matter even if I was lying in the fire."
……
Are all the sorceresses in the association so unrestrained and enthusiastic, with no inhibitions?
Roy, who was not far away, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forcibly turned his attention back to the Cowburg scholar,
"As you can see, Mr. Linus, the sorceresses have little interest in the idea of animal protection... You and Lord Dorregaray are doomed to fail."
"How will you know if you don't try?" The scholar did not flinch.
"Okay," Roy suddenly and mysteriously hugged the scholar's arm and whispered, "Don't run around later, pay attention to your safety..."
This conference will become extremely dangerous, and Roy doesn't want to see any accidents happen to the good old man.
……
On the other side, a woman with white hair and noble temperament noticed an acquaintance, her eyes lit up, and she quickly came over.
