"The ceremony has begun, I'm going to Saqiya's side. Also." Philippa said suddenly. "Do you remember what I told you?"

"One dragon." Schell nodded. "It's incredible. But, are you sure? According to legend, only Golden Dragon has the power to change oneself."

"There is no gold on her scales, but she can do it. This is a good opportunity. We have very little contact with the world on the other side of the Blue Mountains. For the rest, we will discuss the rest after the summit. "

"Don't put too much pressure on Tancred." Schell looked at the young man who walked down to Saqiya. "This is his first workout."

Lundulin Square. Accompanied by two Kodwin nobles, a young man in strong armor walked up to Saqiya. He had short, concise hair, and his eyes swept across Saqiya's chest subconsciously, but he soon realized his gaffe, and set his eyes on the dragon slayer's forehead again.

"First of all, please allow me to congratulate you on your victory." the young man said. "I, the lawful ruler of Corvell, Prince Povis, Prince of East Territory Tancred Tysen, hereby wish to express condolences to the relatives and friends of the soldiers who died here in the name of the gods, and to make peace with Frjan. Kodwin brings peace. A terrible war has taken place here. I hope that tragedies that are as cruel and unnecessary as this war can be avoided in the future."

"The war is over." Saqiya said. "We won."

"Yes, everyone in Kodwin has accepted the fact that cannot be changed. They hope to shake hands and make peace here." Tancred made a please gesture. "The winner speaks. But before that, I wish I could know how you plan to deal with the surrendered soldiers?"

"Captive soldiers will be released. When they lay down their weapons, we will guarantee their personal safety. They are just following the wrong people. I will give them freedom. This is something that many of my men have traded with their lives. "Sakia stretched out two fingers. "My condition is very simple. The Kodwin army must leave Aden. Under the witness of you, King Kerviel, as a third party, all the nobles of the Kodwin family must sign the peace treaty in the name of their family. They vowed to never enter the territory of the Pontal Valley again. Second, they must pay war damages and recognize the independence of the Kingdom of Frogen and the status of the dominion of the Pontar Valley."

Tancred turned to look at the two Kodwin nobles behind him. The nobles glanced at each other, discussed a few words in a low voice, made a few gestures and numbers, and then nodded to the young king.

"Well, I don't think anyone will object to these two things." Tancred looked at Saqiya. "But what is the specific number of war reparations?"

"There is a third thing." Philippa walked to Saqiya's side. "In the past, in the future, and in the present, wars have always occurred. There are losers and winners, but military conflicts should be regulated by law. Those who commit war crimes must be punished. Desmo is a war criminal, and he must be punished."

"Sorry, ma'am." Tancred asked softly. "I think I'm negotiating with Sakia...the queen."

"Philippa..." Saqiya paused. "Her opinions are the same as mine."

"This matter needs to be discussed." Tancred said. "We need some time."

Leaning on the top of the stairs, Eofes put his arms around his chest, leaned against the wall, and looked at Saqiya. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

"The situation is wrong."

"Wrong?" Zoltan next to Eofis wiped off the beer foam from the corner of his mouth and hiccuped. "What's wrong?"

"I know Sakia, she doesn't look right."

Zoltan looked at Saqiya next to the sorcerer. "Are you trying to say that she's like she's inhaled anesthetic powder?"

"I can be sure that she didn't take drugs at all." Eofes stood up straight. "This is something wrong."

"The witch cursed her?" Zoltan opened his eyes wide and looked towards the square. "Should we go to the demon hunter? Whether it's Geralt or Zelin, they are good at dealing with these things."

Chapter 1866 The Young King

"Witchcraft? Control?"

Zelin lifted his gaze from the letter paper. "What are you talking about, Zoltan?"

"I know it sounds weird, but Eofis said that Saqiya looked like she was controlled by Philippa's mind." Zoltan opened his hand. "What did that witch do to her? Iophes and I don’t understand these witchcraft things. You are a witch hunter and often deal with magic and curses. You should understand? Can you take a look? Is Saqiya really controlled?"

"No problem, I'll go take a look." Zelin yawned, closed the letter paper, and put the pen back into the pen holder. He hasn't closed his eyes for almost a day and night. "Where is Saqiya now?"

"She talked in detail about the peace treaty with King Tancred and several other Kodwin nobles in the Three Fathers' Castle. They talked for a while, and it is estimated to be over. The main thing is to deal with Desmo. There was a disagreement. Desmo took away a group of soldiers, and the two Kodwin nobles, Baron Archie and Earl of Garrett insisted that Desmo participate in the Lomune summit as the representative of Kodwin."

"I know, because it is impossible for a warlock to claim the throne. Since everyone is arguing, it is better to step back and let a warlock be the representative. Even if something goes wrong, they can also assume that Desmo cannot fully represent Cod. On the grounds of Wen, they refused to sign the treaty reached at the summit. They can't bear to lose the only scapegoat. Let's go, Zoltan. Since you and Iofis are not at ease, then I will go. But I I want you to do me a favor."

"What's the matter?"

Zoltan looked at the letter Zelin had handed over, and reached out to take it.

"Help me send the letter to the messenger. You know where my castle is and send the letter. Also, when you pass the pier, if you see Geralt, tell them I will go there later."

"Are you going to leave today?"

"Yeah, I plan to go to Lomugne with them. But I think I still have time to meet Saqiya. We will meet at the castle of the three fathers, Zoltan."

"See you later."

Zelin wrote a letter to Yusevka a few days ago. He didn't expect Yusevka to reply immediately. Today, Mahakam’s dwarf messenger delivered the letter to the demon hunter. In the past peaceful years, there were often messengers who made money by sending letters everywhere. A messenger was usually responsible for all the villages in a city or a region, and sent letters to another city and region. Only now, only Mahakam, Redania and Kodwin still have such people. In other places, it was either because of the war, or the king could no longer control the area outside the city wall, where monsters were rampant and bandits ravaged. Ten years ago, everyone thought that they would spend their lives in peace and stability like the people living on this land in the past 100 years. But now, no one will doubt that they are going through the worst of times.

Yusevka said in the letter that she had found a decent job for Amelia and helped her in the clinic. Originally, she planned to send Amelia to a nearby town to see if there was anything suitable to do. But then she thought for a while, who knew what Amelia would do alone, so she still had the best to stay in front of her own eyes. From time to time some guests came to the castle, and George sent them away. Sometimes, Virginia will come here, she seems to be very busy, because Dean Tisaya will travel a long distance recently, so some of the work in Erethusa College is temporarily handed over to the dean’s assistant to take charge.

She heard about the Adenian War and told Zelin to pay attention to safety. She said Zelin didn't need to worry about her safety, because Maria was a guest at the castle recently. There are indeed some sneaky people around the castle these days, and she will pay attention to go out as little as possible. However, she still hoped that Zelin would not delay anything because of worrying about her outside.

Zoltan left with a reply. The Three Fathers Castle, who had experienced many things, finally recovered its calm. No more peasants will gather here to protest against the nobles inside, nor will there be nobles and rebel leaders from different places quarreling inside. Only a few guards are still standing guard here dutifully. When Zelin walked into the tunnel of the castle, he happened to ran into a young man standing in front of a room door, seeming to be thinking about something, but he didn't notice that he was blocking a path.

"Excuse me, sir?"

"What?" The young man raised his head with a confused look in his eyes.

"This passage is very spacious for dwarves, but for humans..." Zelin rolled his fingers. "Please let me."

"Aha, sorry." The young man stood on the edge of the aisle. At this time, he noticed Zelin's eyes. "Wait, you are a demon hunter?"

"Yes." Zelin nodded. "What's the matter?"

"I saw a demon hunter for the first time." The young man looked up and down Zelin, which reminded the demon hunter of what he looked like the first time he saw a peacock. "The number of Demon Hunters in Kewell is very small, and most of them are hired by mining companies near the Dragon Mountains. However, they have contributed a lot to the development of the Dragon Mountains. Without them, they would send troops into the mines to clean up the monsters in the mountains. The gain is not worth the loss. You are the demon hunter Zelin?"

"Yes." Zelin frowned. "Are you...?"

"I heard Schell talk about you. She said you are the most special demon hunter. When other people think about life, you are letting the profession and tradition pass on." The young man scratched his cheek, his The tone is soft and slightly nervous, not very confident. "It’s a good thing to keep the traditions. If many of the traditions of the year can be kept, maybe the world is much better now than in the past. Oh, yes, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Tancred, Tancred Di Sen."

"Your Majesty."

Zelin immediately understood the identity of the young man in front of him.

"Ah, don't mind, this is not my father's court." Tancred paused. "Not my court. Sear told me you are investigating the whereabouts of the kingslayer, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I am investigating."

"That assassin killed my father." Tancred squinted. "Shir is also helping my mother investigate the Kingslayer. She has found some clues and evidence. Did she tell you?"

"She found it?"

"Yes, she just told me that she can roughly determine the identity and movements of the assassin. Some assassins have gone to Lomugne, so she will arrive early and catch the assassins before everyone arrives." King Tancred made a fist. He waved his hand vigorously. "Shir always told me that I can't be too emotional, but I'm really happy that the assassin must be tried and punished. However, the demon hunter, you are also investigating the kingslayer. Did someone hire you to do this? Or is it for justice? Many knights with a sense of justice have vowed to leave the manor and the knights, and walk around every corner of the land, looking for the traces of the kingslayers. Before the kingslayers are captured, they will never show their real names."

"No, I did it for myself."

"For yourself?"

"That assassin is a demon hunter, and I am also a demon hunter. If people think that demon hunters are a group of killers who accept employment and can kill everyone for money, I think I must leave this land. . In fact, that’s it, for the sake of fame, for the living environment. That's it, there is no justice."

"A demon hunter assassin?" Tancred's expression became even more confused. Zelin also felt a little strange.

"Is there any problem, Your Majesty?"

"The assassin who killed my father was not a demon hunter. There were three of them, all human. The sword master of the City Guard killed one of them." Tancred touched his chin. "These assassins don’t have any marks on them. Judge Wang’s family is still investigating them. Before I left Corville and came to Aden, I got the latest report that these assassins arrived in Povis via a merchant ship from the south. Port. Our navy is looking for the merchant ship, the Southern Gold. According to the customs filing, he sailed from Martina to deliver food and alcohol goods, although I doubt that this is another lie."
