"It's okay. If your king recently gave you a long vacation, and you want to find someone to travel with you, I happen to be free and can accompany you."
Triss's silver bell-like voice came out. "It's a very tempting proposal, but unfortunately, it's not."
Lynn sighed, "That's such a pity, okay, what on earth happened?"
"I have a very important commission that I need your help with."
"You name a place and we can discuss the details in person."
Outside a village not far from Maribor City.
The light from a portal suddenly tore through the air.
A demon hunter and a sorceress walked out of the portal one after another.
With Lynn's current strong physique, he would no longer feel any discomfort when passing through the portal.
Triss first entered the village and took out the two horses that had been stored with the village elders.
Then, the two of them got on their horses and rushed to Maribor City.
"Now can we talk about that important commission you mentioned?"
So Triss told Lynn about Foltest being labeled Mark of the Deep Sea before, and how Foltest became even worse after arriving at Maribor City, far from the sea and deep inland.
"Mark of the Deep Sea is watched by the evil god Dagon, and Dagon is the evil god of the deep sea. He has no power on land."
"But I don't know why. Foltest didn't get better at all after coming to Maribor City. Instead, it became more serious."
After listening to Triss's distress, Lynn smiled bitterly and said, "That's why you came to me, hoping that I could help you lift the curse of the evil god?"
Triss really thinks highly of himself.
The last time he helped the princes and nobles solve similar troubles was during Toussaint.
Moreover, the fact that Toussaint's duchess fell deeply into the power of the devil was not caused by the direct influence of the devil.
But centuries ago, the desperate Elf King prayed for a weapon blessed by the devil, and by some mistake, he hurt the Duchess Caroberta.
This is completely different from the current situation of King Foltest.
But since Triss has come to find him, Lynn will naturally do his best.
But, he was still curious.
"Why don't you take the king to Margarita Laux-Antille? Aren't you alumni?"
Generally speaking, in situations like this, people usually think that warlocks are more suitable than witchers.
After all, the original purpose of creating demon hunters was to replace ordinary soldiers and be on the front line of hunting monsters.
Since he is a warrior, knowledge that has nothing to do with monster knowledge is naturally considered "not necessary to learn and master".
Not to mention that no matter which school of demon hunters, the inheritance is broken.
This is unlike the Warlock's inheritance, which has always been complete.
Triss smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Margarita Laux-Antille will not allow anyone to bring danger to the Aretuza Academy, because Margarita Laux-Antille and Tissaia are the same people. They both regard students as more important than the king."
To be honest, Triss herself doesn't know why she can firmly believe that Lynn can solve this problem.
But she really has no better way now.
We can only choose to believe Lynn.
"Maybe it's not that bad after all."
After comforting Triss, Lynn started to reminisce.
He clearly remembered that this paragraph did not exist in the original plot.
The evil god Dagon in the game just sits quietly at the bottom of Lake Vizima's lake, and then waits for White Wolf to come and cause trouble.
But this reality is not a game after all, and reality does not have to abide by the "rules" of the game.
Theoretically speaking, Triss was right. Staying away from the land should indeed avoid the evil god Dagon's gaze.
But the situation of Foltest has worsened, which can only explain one possibility:
Just like when he killed Foltest's sister and wife and turned his daughter into a monster, there is also a guy in Maribor City who doesn't want to see Foltest's good friends.
An hour later, the city wall of Maribor City appeared in their sight.
Under the leadership of Triss, naturally no guard dared to stop him.
The two of them arrived directly at the manor where the king was staying without any hindrance.
"Your Majesty, where is Keira?"
Triss looked around and found that apart from the king's guards, there was no other sorceress who was also the royal advisor in the room.
"While you were away, I felt the call of the deep sea again. Keira She spent a lot of magic power to wake me up, and now she is going to rest."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for leaving. I'm going to see her."
After the sorceress left, Foltest looked at Lynn.
"Demon hunter," Foltest's face looked even worse than when Triss left, but it was clear that she had left less than a day ago, "You are really my lucky stars. One of you saved my daughter last time. Now it seems that my life depends on you."
Lynn knows that the last time Foltest was talking about was referring to the vampire bird incident that happened in the old palace a few years ago:
Foltest's daughter died as soon as she was born, which also killed her mother.
Foltest then buried the two of them in the underground mausoleum of the palace.
Seven years later, the dead baby was miraculously resurrected, but in the form of a vampire bird.
The king summoned many wise men, hoping to solve this problem.
Most of the wise men gave the king various ideas to kill the vampire bird. Only a hunchbacked hermit believed that the princess could still be saved, and went to the underground mausoleum to do so.
Unfortunately, when the next morning came, not much was left of the hunchbacked hermit's body, only his hat and cane were thrown on the ground.
Although the hunchbacked hermit failed, Foltest regarded this idea as a life-saving straw. From then on, no one was allowed to kill her. If they came for the reward, they could only lift the curse of the vampire bird, but could not harm the princess.
But such a requirement is so stringent that even though Foltest and the three thousand Oren attracted a large number of people, no one could fulfill it.
Among them, all the liars were hung on the fence outside the palace by Foltest, and the rest were eaten by the vampire birds.
Since no one could lift the curse, and the vampire bird was too dangerous, Foltest had to move out of the palace and build a new one.
In this way, the vampire demon bird harmed the old palace for seven years, until the famous White Wolf Geralt heard about this commission and came to Vizima city.
He did meet Foltest's request, successfully lifted the curse without using a sword, and turned the vampire bird back into a princess again.
