"Dick, let me introduce to you, these three are the pillars of our Northern Kingdoms."
The queen's fingertips passed over the faces of the three nobles in turn, and the silver tableware on the table reflected the cold light of a blade under the crystal light.
The first noble stood up, raised his chin, and nodded slightly, extremely reserved.
"This is our Marquis Zubac, who controls the oil industry of Northern Kingdoms and is the minister of the humerus." the queen introduced.
Then, the queen pointed to another noble, "This is our Earl Mann, who is in charge of Northern Kingdoms's salt industry and has a very important position."
Mann nodded equally reservedly.
"This is our Earl Kofi, who controls the iron ore mining industry of Northern Kingdoms. In the process of preparing to deal with Manslayer's army, several of them donated a large amount of money and food, which is a powerful boost to the army's logistics support."
Kofi calmly shook the red wine glass in his hand, took a few steps to reach Dick, and said with a decent smile:
"I heard that demon hunters are as tenacious as Drowner and can survive by eating carrion. No wonder you, as the grand leader, were able to survive that disaster alone.
"It's a pity that there are so many good demon hunters who are good candidates for fighting in the arena.
"I have many fighting warriors under my command, and I really want to find an opportunity for them to compete with you, so that they can also learn how to survive until the end.
"After all, the one who survives to the end may not be a warrior, it could also be... Mud Drowner who knows how to hide in the mud?"
Arenas, Panda Continent exist in almost every big city. Down-and-out knights and folk fighting experts will transform into fighters and participate in arena events to gain a chance to make a comeback;
Their fighting performances are one of the pastimes of the nobles, but these performances are bloody and people die every day.
What he meant both implicitly and externally was to put the demon hunters on the same level as the players participating in the arena;
And secretly mocked Dick for living alone.
The queen was furious. She never expected that Kofi would be so proud of his merits that he would say sarcastic words on such an important occasion.
While I was thinking about how to warn this Kofi, a burst of laughter came from the side.
Dick suddenly pointed at Kofi and laughed so hard that he was out of breath.
Then he threw another piece of letterhead onto the table. His rough move exposed the contents of the paper, allowing everyone on the side to see it clearly:
A brief introduction and detailed portraits of Marquis Zubac, Earl Mann, and Earl Kofi;
At the end of the letter, there is a secret report mark branded with red wax, and the following is added below:
The three of them were all the powerful backers behind the knight's retinue when Brownie attacked Kaer Morhen.
It is precisely because they control Northern Kingdoms's key industries that Queen Meve did not severely punish them.
It stands to reason that Dick would not know who is relying on these noble retinues.
But just a few days ago, someone handed Dick a detailed and unprocessed aristocratic information, which included detailed information and portraits of these three people.
That person's name is West.
This seemingly loyal palace steward is actually a double agent.
He was originally a loyal follower of Prince James, but as time went by, he increasingly realized that Prince James had no interest in the throne of the king.
Prince James's attitude towards Queen Meve is like a child eager to be recognized. Everything he does is just hoping to get the 'candy' appreciated by the queen.
But West has long been secretly colluding with Duke Yalike of Longsong Harbor. Although Duke Yalike has been beheaded by the Queen personally, his men are still imprisoned in prison.
Once this matter is exposed, West's situation will be unimaginable.
As a result, Dick and West reached a secret deal in private.
Today, Dick will create some Tiny commotion at the banquet and attract everyone's attention.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, West will seize this safest opportunity to secretly take away his property, quietly escape from Northern Kingdoms, and fly away.
This is a secret decision that only the two men know about, and even Vesemir and others know nothing about it.
Of course, when leaving Witcher Order, Dick also specifically told everyone that if things go wrong, they should immediately disperse and flee Northern Kingdoms.
After all, with the strength of a demon hunter, it is not difficult to escape Northern Kingdoms safely.
The Queen was confused and was about to ask. Kebi behind her suddenly felt something bad. He grabbed the Queen's arm and led her back.
"Kebi, why did you..."
Before the Queen finished speaking, she heard Dick's laughter stopped abruptly, her voice cold and impersonal:
"There's no need to compete with the so-called warriors under your command. Today, I just want to compete with you in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dick's left hand grabbed a silver fork on the table like lightning, and then shook his arm;
The tip of the silver fork howled through the halo cast by the crystal chandelier, and when blood bloomed on Earl Kofi's temples, the corners of his sarcastic mouth had not even completely raised.
Dick suddenly pulled out the silver fork, and blood instantly spurted out like a broken water pipe, forming three blood pillars.
It wasn't over yet, Dick threw the silver fork in his hand hard again, and the silver fork made a 'whoosh' sound, turned into an afterimage, and hit Earl Mann's right eye on the opposite side of the table.
The silver fork dipped in caviar penetrated the skull, and when the three sharp teeth penetrated the back of the head with bone fragments, Earl Mann's carefully managed hair was still trembling slightly.
Then, Dick tapped his toes on the ground and jumped over the long table.
While he was in mid-air, he swiped his right hand and in the blink of an eye he grasped a knife on the long table.
Taking advantage of this inertia, he quickly thrust the knife into the mouth of Marquis Zubac, who was on the other side with his mouth wide open in shock.
There was a muffled sound, and the silver-reflecting knife penetrated the back of the Marquis's head, and bright red blood spattered out instantly.
After doing all this, Dick landed steadily, and the whole process was completed in less than two breaths.
As soon as he landed, the three usually arrogant and arrogant nobles still had shock and fear on their faces. They knelt down one after another like marionettes, their gold-inlaid skirts swept over the leftovers on the floor, and their diamond-encrusted buttons were soaked in a pool of blood mixed with caviar.
The red wine glass in Earl Kofi's hand also slipped down and hit the marble floor with a crisp 'bang' sound;
The glass shards that reflected the chandelier cast tiny iridescent light into the pool of blood, reflecting Earl Mann's one eye that was staring blankly into strangely colorful colors.
The red wine gurgled out of the cup, and the red wine liquid and dark red plasma meandered and blended on the ground;
The crystal chandelier on the ceiling cast a warm glow, giving the pool of liquid a strange sheen.
The fishy smell of blood mixed with the aroma of red wine filled the air, making it nauseating.
At this time, the surrounding nobles woke up as if from a dream, realizing that such a horrific murder had occurred in this peaceful and majestic palace in the past, and they suddenly screamed in horror.
Some nobles were so frightened that they lost their sense of control and scurried around the palace like headless flies.
One of the two aristocratic ladies who had mocked Dick before, rolled her eyes and fainted without even shouting. Fortunately, the male companion next to her held her in her arms, otherwise she might have fallen to the ground and suffered a bloody injury.
Vesemir, who was in the corner, also noticed this chaotic situation. He was not carrying a weapon at this time. When he was thinking about countermeasures, he saw Vigo next to him still sitting in the same place, extremely relaxed.
Vesemir quickly came to the side of the warlock Vigo who was sitting next to him and said sorry.
The amethyst core at the front of the warlock's staff suddenly buzzed as a warning. Vigo raised his eyebrows as he looked at Vesemir grabbing the staff, but a curse seal for lifting the restriction was secretly formed on his fingertips.
Vesemir's wrist flicked, and as the staff made a long sound, Bai Linlin's Sword Qi instantly covered it.
He quickly ran to the entrance of the palace and blocked the guards outside who had reacted and tried to rush into the palace.
Vigo, on the other hand, touched his chin with interest and stared closely at the chaotic scene on the field, as if he was enjoying a wonderful performance.
In the corridor next to the palace, Geralt was wearing only white linen underwear and his upper body was bare, revealing staggered scars left over from past battles all over his body;
Although his appearance looked a little ridiculous, in his right hand with bulging veins, he was holding a broken pine stool leg with Sword Qi attached to it, and he was running quickly in the direction of Vesemir.
He also heard Dick's weird laughter and everyone's screams. He had no time to continue [beating Gwent] with his female companion, so he rushed out to help.
