Crown Festival The afternoon before, Kaer Several long tables had already been placed in the main castle hall.
The hall of the main castle is extremely spacious, enough to accommodate hundreds of people dining together.
The long table is filled with a dazzling array of food and wine, and the aroma is overflowing, making people salivate.
Demon hunters who had returned from all over the world gathered here, and laughter and laughter echoed in every corner of the hall.
Master, Beier and other senior executives were sitting at the table in the center of the hall.
Beier, with a smile on his face, raised his glass to everyone, and said in a loud voice:
"We have just celebrated the success of the little demon hunter's mountain experience. This time, except for Vesemir and other seven or eight demon hunters, the other demon hunters have all returned. This is the most lively Crown Festival in our sect in recent years.
"Now, it's time to celebrate the return of you wanderers. Everyone, I respect you all!"
Everyone raised their glasses one after another, and for a while, they drank and drank.
Everyone's face was filled with joy. Even Master, who had always been serious, raised his glass obediently to the surrounding people without saying any more nonsense or depressing words.
Sitting at the same table with Dick are the demon hunters of School of the Grizzly Bear.
"Boar" stood next to him. After chewing a pork chop, he picked up his wine glass and touched it with Dick, saying loudly:
"Dick, except Tyson, no one is my opponent, so you are the only one who can defeat me.
"You haven't come to me to practice lately. When will we practice again? My muscles and bones are itching to death."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Dick responded perfunctorily, thinking in his mind that now with his strong physical fitness, even if Fighting loses to "Boar" in front of him, he can still defeat him after a long fight.
It can be seen that "Boar" has very limited help in improving his strength. He is not a qualified tool man anymore, and he does not want to waste energy on it anymore.
Boar, Sorry!
"That's good, that's good, Dick, we will continue practicing after the holiday, but you must stay at Kaer Morhen for a few more days.
"Dick Remember, I admire you very much!" After saying that, he started to wink again, his two thick eyebrows shaking into waves.
"Let's talk about it later."
"Boar" wanted to continue to say something, but several big men from School of the Grizzly Bear gathered around, holding up their wine glasses and shouting, "Drink, drink!"
Dick looked ahead, and saw Beier and the others had already stood up, walking casually around the demon hunter's wine table, drinking and chatting with everyone.
For a time, the whole hall was very lively.
Some people brag loudly about their adventure stories, causing bursts of laughter from the people around them;
Someone raised a glass and sang loudly with a voice like a broken gong, and the surrounding demon hunters hummed along without caring;
There were also people playing dice in the corner of the hall. After one game, cheers, laughter and curses came one after another.
Dick was also moved by the warm atmosphere. He drank another drink with the demon hunter School of the Grizzly Bear on the side, then lowered his head and began to feast.
Master, who was not far away, looked at the joyous scene in the hall coldly, with a faint sarcastic smile on his lips, and then secretly winked at Alexander at the table next to him.
Alexander nodded slightly, turned around and left quietly with understanding, disappearing into the lively crowd, and no one noticed all this.
This joyful banquet, according to Beier, will last until Crown Festival arrives, plus the whole day tomorrow.
If any demon hunter becomes a coward and can't hold on any longer, he will go back to his room to rest and continue fighting when he wakes up.
In fact, Dick doesn't really like drinking. He usually only tastes a few drinks. After drinking 3 drinks, he stops drinking.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, "Dick, you drink this little wine to raise fish? Those who can't drink go to the little demon hunter's table."
Dick nodded calmly, and with everyone's stunned expressions, he actually came to sit down at the table of several little demon hunters.
"Dick, drink juice."
Barry held a cup filled with red juice and handed it to Dick. The latter took it and drank lightly, "This juice tastes good."
"By the way, when can Dick and Carter come back?" Clark asked worriedly.
Dick looked around at the few little demon hunters, knowing that they had established a deep bond with Carter in just a few days, and said with relief, "Don't worry, he will be back soon."
And calculated the time:
It has been six or seven days since Carter left. Even if the safe route to Free City will pass through Sarleon, it should be here by now. I believe it won't be long before they get a letter back.
It was getting dark outside, and the joyful atmosphere continued like this.
Until a certain point, Master suddenly stood up, pressed his hands down, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
These demon hunters all turned to look at him, and even Beier looked at him with some confusion.
Master announced at this time:
"I just heard the news from the sorceress Ruiwen to Alexander. The monsters of No Man's Land are rioting and seem to be trying to break through the shackles of the magic circle."
Then, he looked at Dick thoughtfully.
Dick was furious in his heart and stood up suddenly. "Master, you mean, we practiced at Little Demon a few days ago and destroyed the magic circle?"
"I didn't mean it that way, but if it's not broken sooner or later, it happens that not long after High Mountain Trial ended, the magic circle was broken. Who knows what happened?
"I also heard that you are particularly fond of murderous monsters. Did you sneak there again and destroy the magic circle in order to vent your desire to kill?"
"Hey, you two, please stop arguing." Beier stood up quickly, "Isn't this matter very simple?
"Wouldn't it be enough to find someone to take a look? Well, to ensure safety, it's best to send a witcher and a warlock at the same time."
Dick said coldly, "Since Master suspects that I destroyed the magic circle, how about I go and investigate?"
"Okay." Master smiled, "And Ruiwen should be waiting outside the castle, so you two can go together."
"Are the two of them enough?" Aode on the side muttered, "You pseudo-gentleman, do you have another bad idea?"
Master was not angry but smiled and said, "What bad idea can I have? Ruiwen The destruction of the magic circle is not serious, but it still requires a highly capable demon hunter to protect her. I think it is just right for Dick to go."
Dick felt suspicious in his heart. He always felt that Master's attitude today seemed wrong, but he also thought that he was facing so many demon hunters, and Crown Festival was about to arrive, so he probably didn't want to destroy this strong atmosphere;
No matter how miserable he is, he is still a member of Witcher Order and should not do harm to his compatriots.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Then Dick said goodbye to everyone and came outside the fortress, but saw Ruiwen stopping with his head lowered. The crow on his shoulder screamed when he saw Dick coming.
Ruiwen raised his head, "Dick, now that you're here, everything should be clear. It's just that a corner of the magic circle was destroyed, and a few Nekker came out."
"I will use the energy stone to repair the magic circle again.
"I need you to protect my safety during this process. It's a simple matter. Let's go."
