At the entrance of the hall, beside a beautiful female sorceress with black hair and black dress, stood a white-haired man who was secretly pulling the clothes with his hands.

There is no expression of emotion, a scar across the left eye, and those orange cat pupils...

Compared to everyone in the hall, Lu Qi is very familiar with this man with outstanding appearance:

"Geralt, finally found you..."

Chapter 5: No name in that year, the warlock banquet, standing like a minion

After discovering Geralt and Yennefer who walked into the hall, Lu Qi felt rippling in his heart, but he didn't go over to greet Geralt right away, triggering [World Quest] by the way.

After all, on this occasion, he was just Kayla's male companion, a little guy who came to the warlock banquet.

Judging from the reactions of other warlocks in the hall, the combination of Yennefer and Geralt obviously attracted enough attention.

At this time, it is not a smart choice for him to do anything that crosses the line or is eye-catching.

So, Lu Qi just stayed on the two of them for a few seconds, and then looked away.

Because too many eyes fell on himself and the woman beside him, Geralt didn't notice that in the dark, there was such an existence that was eager to get in touch with him...

After standing by the dining table for a while, Lu Qi saw Yennefer pulling the out-of-fit Geralt to the center of the hall, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Apparently, under the gaze of everyone, Geralt's already indifferent expression added a bit of trouble and dissatisfaction.

Ye Naifer acted like a girl who found a good boyfriend and then brought it to her sisters to show off her scheming girl. After enjoying the baptism of eyes and magic detection with Geralt in the middle of the hall, she returned to the dining table again .

Seeing this, Lu Qi frowned, and couldn't help but said to Kaila:

"You should be hungry, shall I get you something to eat?"

Before Kaila could answer, there was a small commotion at the entrance of the hall.

"They're here!"

Keira turned her head abruptly and followed the prestige.

"Who?"

"The high-ranking mages of the wizarding society."

Looking at the entrance, Lu Qi saw the wizards stepped aside and bowed to the big warlocks who entered the hall.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in rustic woolen clothing with a calm expression and an energetic look.

Beside him was a tall and slender woman with distinct facial features, her black hair was combed very neatly.

"That is Gerhardt of Ayler, the eldest of the living sorcerers."

Holding Lu Qi's arm, Keira leaned close to his ear and said softly:

"The woman next to him is Tissaia de Vries, not much younger than Gerhardt? She is the former headmaster of Arethusa College."

Behind these two venerable warlocks? A charming woman, close behind.

A head of long dark golden hair? It forms a wonderful match with the gray-green lace dress on the body, coupled with that beautiful elf face? It really makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Lu Qi is no exception.

"Francesca Findabe, aka Enid Ann Galina? Means "Daisy of the Valley"? Don't stare at her, it's rude. Even though many people think she is the most beautiful in the world woman..."

Keira's reminder rang in his ears, and Lu Qi, who was a little dazed, reacted quickly.

Although Francesca is indeed beautiful? However, he is not a person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, and then asked:

"How do I feel my attention? Can't help being drawn to her? Is this the work of magic?"

"This is normal. She is a pure-blooded elf? And she may have a kind of enchantment magic on her body, which can magnify her beauty to the greatest extent? People can't look away."

"How can I not be affected by this charm magic?"

"As long as you increase your magic resistance, or use magic means? Weaken perception? You can ignore this kind of low-level magic that is not actively cast."

"so..."

Whispering? Lu Qi kept Keira's suggestion firmly in his mind.

"The man who escorted Francesca, if you have a chance to meet him, never annoy him! Otherwise, you will regret it."

Hearing Keira's words, Lu Qi's eyes could not help but shift to the elf beauty.

He was a tall, strong, handsome man in a cavalier-style jacket who could impress even standing next to the radiant Francesca.

"For a warlock's age, he is very young. Who is he?"

"Vigoforts of Logyven, he is really young and talented. Whether it is magic or swordsmanship..."

"Finally, the short man next to Vigfortez, is Arto Terranova, a flatterer and sycophant."

"These five people form the wizarding society that leads the Warlock Brotherhood..."

Although Keira's status in the Warlock Brotherhood is not high.However, her ambition is not small, and she is very familiar with the personnel and operations within the Brotherhood of Warlocks.

After introducing the five members of the Wizarding Association to Lu Qi one by one, she enthusiastically introduced to him another auxiliary Wizarding Association, the five members of the "High Council", an organization that supervises the Brotherhood of Warlocks.

Among them, the only two female members were Philippa Erhart and Yennefer, whom Lu Qi had just met.

From Keira's introduction, Lu Qi can know that the "Wizard Association" headed by Wigfortz and the "High Council" headed by Philippa Erhart, adding up to ten people, should be A high-level figure leading the entire Warlock Brotherhood.

Among these people, the one who impressed Lu Qi deeply was naturally Vigfortz who was only emphasized by Keira.

This man, at a glance, knows that he is not something to mess with...

. . .

With the arrival of the warlocks, the entire banquet hall of Arethusa Palace gradually became lively.

The waiters carried trays, went back and forth among the guests, and served drinks to the distinguished warlocks.

Lu Qi also wanted to try the white wine from Toussaint, but seeing that Keira didn't intend to drink, he didn't take the initiative to get the wine.

Accompanying Keira to socialize everywhere, chatting and chatting with fellow mages, Lu Qi's attention drifted to Geralt's side from time to time, trying to find the right time.

However, compared to this unknown pawn who came from nowhere, the legendary demon hunter with the title of "White Wolf" is obviously more eye-catching and popular.

Maybe they wanted to ask him about the interesting things about hunting monsters, or they wanted to know about these mutants created by ancient warlocks. The warlocks took turns talking to Yennefer and Geralt without stopping.

Among them, even important figures such as Philippa Erhart, Tissaia de Vries, and Wigfortz took the initiative to chat with the two of them.

Looking at Geralt's situation and comparing his own situation, Lu Qi's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but think of a song he once liked very much in the real world:

"That year eighteen, at the alma mater dance, standing like a minion..."

However, Lu Qi didn't care about the feeling of being ignored at all, but enjoyed it very much.

It's not good to be too exaggerated, it will only become a "target" for everyone to siege like Geralt.

It's good to be a minion, especially a little transparent who is not valued by anyone, it's even better...

Chapter 5 is worthy of you, the sorceress piledriver!

"it is finally over..."

After dismissing the last sorceress who came over to say hello, the witcher finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now I'm going to leave for a while to talk to Teshaya and Francesca. Eat something more, your stomach is growling."

"Also, be careful, someone will definitely strike up a conversation with you, don't let them bully you, and don't damage my reputation."

"You can rest assured about that."

After all, the two people who looked at each other couldn't help but approach slowly, their lips pressed together tightly.

Parting her lips, Ye Naifa gently brushed aside a lock of curly hair between her forehead, and said casually:

"When the banquet is over... please, don't eat dishes with garlic."

After leaving such a thought-provoking sentence, the black-haired sorceress swayed her slender waist and walked towards the center of the hall, leaving only the witcher alone.

When his lover left, the white-haired Geralt immediately let go of the rules, unbuttoned his tight jacket, and drank the two glasses of wine on the table in one go.

Just when he was looking for some serious food that could fill his stomach, there was a sound of upright footsteps behind him:

"Lord Geralt?"

He thought the people who came were those fake warlocks with eyes full of scrutiny, but when he turned around, Geralt realized that the person was a strange face that he had never seen before.

Seeing the other party's attire somewhat similar to his own, the demon hunter sized up the visitor, and couldn't help but be kinder:

"I don't think we've ever met."

[Contact the protagonist of the world, the world mission starts! 】

A cold system prompt flashed through my mind, but there was no ripple on Lu Qi's face.

He just smiled, spread his hands, and said:

"Of course not, but it will be my pleasure. I am a nobody from the far east? My name is Alex."

"Geralt? A witcher."

After exchanging names, the two became acquainted initially.

Pick up a salmon fillet on a dinner plate? Put it in your mouth? After letting it slide down your throat, Lu Qi spoke again:

"All fake smiles, empty conversations...this party? Boring, don't you think?"

Hearing Lu Qi's bold words? Even meeting for the first time? The demon hunter couldn't help being taken aback, and then the corner of his mouth lightly raised:

"Obviously you're right."

Hearing this, Lu Qi understood that his strategy seems to be working.

After observing Geralt for a period of time? Of course he could see that this witcher was very displeased with this kind of banquet that looked tall but was full of hypocrisy and secret fights.

And, he didn't want to hide it either.

Maybe? For Geralt, dealing with these enthusiastic but hypocritical warlocks? It's better to fight those vicious monsters, which is hearty...

He took two glasses of yellowish wine from the passing waiter's tray, and handed one of them to Geralt beside him.

The witcher wasn't polite either? He took a sip after taking it. "Huh? I've never been used to the taste of wine made from tulip roses."

"The taste is not bad. After all, you can only drink fine wine on such occasions."

"Are you here alone?"

"That's not true. My job is somewhat similar to yours. It's all for money. A sorceress hired me, so... I was able to attend banquets of this level and meet some important people."

After that, Lu Qi pointed to Keira who was talking with Triss, and said:

"Kayla Metz, advisor to the King of Temeria, my employer."

Hearing this, Geralt's gaze stayed on Triss next to Keira for a while before saying again:

"Then you should also know Triss, right?"

"That's right, we met once."

"In this way, we all have mutual friends, and we are not complete strangers..."

After finishing speaking, the demon hunter picked up the wine glass and touched it with the wine glass in Lu Qi's hand with a "clang".

"Cheers to our health!"

"cheers!"

Pouring the mellow wine in the glass down his throat, Lu Qi suddenly felt very hungry.

In fact, he hasn't eaten anything since the banquet started.

Oh, except for that cold salmon fillet just now...

"There is no food on this table that can fill your stomach. Let's go and have a look?"

"Why not..."

Under Lu Qi's deliberate pandering, Geralt's perception of this man was not bad, and he felt like he had met and hit it off.

At least compared to those vain, hypocritical, and arrogant warlocks, this man is much better...

When the two came to the dining table with big prawns and sliced ​​lobster meat, they realized that they had already been preempted.
