Chapter 218 The King and the Former King(2/2)

"Unless you have other tasks, I don't want to get into the painting anymore. If there is a battle, I want to get involved, and I think I should be quite powerful."

"Lann, is that OK?"

Lane couldn't help but reach out and hold the hilt of the scimitar, and whispered: "Of course."

——

In the strait between Great Skelliger Island and Little Skelliger Island, dragon boats appeared one after another. The red and white sails shone brightly in the sun, and the bronze shield hanging on the side of the ship also shone.

"The grandfather is here for the Tursek family's emblem!" Xili shouted excitedly after seeing the sign on the dragon boat.

"There are also King Bran," Lane added.

When the king's car arrived, Keljo's people seemed to be accustomed to it.

These ships had no king's show at all. Apart from the particularly well-trained soldiers on the ship, it was impossible to tell what honor the people above were.

If you really want to say it, it is the castle guards who respect and respect all the way.

Because the two people who came off the boat were kings elected by everyone. One was from the past and the other was from the present.

The first time they saw East Tursek, Shiri pounced on it. The two of them had met before with the help of Mossak, and this was the first time Lann saw East after Sintra was captured.

The handsome sea knight had a vicissitudes of life, with white hair and wrinkles occupying his face for a year. He stood with King Bran, who knew what they were brothers, and who didn't know would probably misunderstand his uncle and nephew.

But Lane could feel the burning flames under this vicissitudes of life. He was suppressing and waiting for an outbreak.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lane."

Easter said only this.

Then he opened his arms and hugged Lann tightly.

...

King Bran’s appearance is almost carved from the same mold as East.

But he is taller and stronger than Easter. Compared with Easter, who has the title of "Sea Knight", he looks more like the "Sea Boar" Kratz in terms of figure.

He could be six and a half feet tall, with a wide waist than a shoulder, and three bearskin belts tied to it. He wore a lock ring and a leather-sewn vest armor, with cotton coats of distinct colors and layers inside.

When he stood in front of him, Lanen seemed to see a bear. Lanen also believed that no matter how big the waves or heavy rain were, the man in front of him would never shake a little on the boat.

Compared with the silent Easter, King Bran has a much more generous personality. At this moment, he grabbed a lobster with both hands as long as Ciri's forearm and was gnawing. There were already many scallops and empty shells of oysters in front of him.

Siri sat between East and Bran, concentrating on dealing with a crab as big as her face.

Easter pays more attention to dining etiquette and uses knife and fork skillfully. Because he has to touch Xili's head from time to time, he cannot get his hands dirty.

"If you want to find the person who likes Uncle Blan the most in my castle, it must be my cook." Kratz joked, "Every time my uncle comes, the cook always feels that his cooking skills have improved."

Next to Kratz, two young men of the same age as Lann, one man and one woman.

The man has half-length dark brown hair and has already started growing a beard at a young age.

The woman had red-brown hair, which was simply tied into a ponytail and draped behind her.

This is a pair of children of Halma, Caris, Kratz. They are all looking at Lane attentively, but the meaning in their eyes is different.

Fortunately, Lane had long been used to other people's sight. He drank a glass of wine without changing his face and asked Easter:

"Uncle, I heard something about you from Uncle Mossack."

Isti: "Then he must have told you that I want to reappear the throne of Skellig."

This sentence is said without any concealment, even if Skellig's current king sits beside him.

The king who was about to be usurped the throne was not concerned at all. He put down the lobster shell and sucked his fingers with uneasy intentions: "Don't look at me, I'm happy to see this matter. At that time, Easter took the initiative to give up the throne and wanted to travel to sea. At that time, Kratz was still young, and the patriarchs of the other six major families either had no intention of politics or had a landslide in their minds. I didn't want the archipelago to sink into the hands of these people, so I agreed to run for the king."

"Although I have had a wonderful life in the years of my reign, the ministers also complained: because I would rather take people out to sea to rob, than to solve the political problems of the archipelago. There were even rumors that I did this to avoid my wife who likes to ramble in my family - Ha, how could the son of the archipelago be afraid of his wife?"

"Deep down, I envy Easter. So now he is willing to take back the burden he has thrown to me, and I can't ask for it."

King Bran monologued his thoughts very directly, and no one dared to listen to other countries in the mainland. However, the archipelago people at the dining table were used to complaining in these words, and obviously they heard a lot.

Lane drank a sip of wine and spoke so straightforwardly on political occasions. Instead, he was a little happy and unconsciously assimilated.

"But I heard that I've encountered obstacles?"

Istic head: "The king cannot appoint an heir, especially for me, who once gave up the throne, many lords find it too much."

Speaking of this, East smiled disdainfully: "Actually, they want to be kings themselves."

Lanen thought, "But uncle, you should have a lot of prestige in the archipelago, right?"

Easter answered affirmatively: "I already have a group of supporters, and Bran's support, so there is no problem to be a king according to the normal voting system. But what I want is not only to become a king, but I also need the support of various families to send troops to Nifgaard and help Sintra."

As he spoke, Easter glanced at Xiri gently, then turned to Lann: "So I need to reasonably block the mouths of those patriarchs - with the customs of the islanders."

"This method is a bit of a risky approach. I noticed the warriors behind you, they are witch hunters, right? I saw Geralt right inside them - I might need their help."

Lane was stunned. Easter should have known that the witch hunter did not participate in politics. What was he busy with when he was a king that he needed the witch hunter to take action?

Easter quickly explained: "A large ice giant appeared not long ago - about two months ago - in Udvik Island. We don't know what awakened it from its sleep, but after it appeared, it destroyed most of the island."

"Not just Udvik Island, this giant is said to be able to use ice magic to roam between different islands, and also has the mysterious power to command the female sirens. The lords organized troops to encircle and suppress the giant more than once, but they were defeated every time."

"And I'm going to hunt this ice giant and get its head."

"Using the most powerful monsters to glorify the bravest warriors, in order to help me regain the throne of Skellig. This is my plan."

Just the moment East's voice fell, the system's prompt sound rang at this moment:

【Discovery Mission-Glacier Wrath:

Unknown astronomical phenomena awaken the hibernating giant in advance. It destroys everything that can move in front of it. The beautiful Udwick Island was terrifyingly destroyed. The danger of the giant beast is spreading to the entire Skellig, and the brave sea knight hopes to win the crown of kings for himself by siege. The demon hunter, you may be able to help, after all, this is also helping yourself.]
