The Kingfisher Tavern is located on the edge of the central square, the same square that just experienced the burning.
However, this does not prevent this place from being a place for middle-class and upper-class guests to have fun - there is a small stage here that can accommodate many famous bards to perform on stage.
It can be said that the bards who can perform on the stage of Kingfisher Hotel are all artistic performers with a certain social status, and even nobles must show some courtesy.
The frequent visitor here before was probably Dandelion - this guy turned out to be an extravagant guy who could pick up a southern baroness. Speaking of which, when Xie Yuan heard this person's story, he couldn't help but admire him.
And now, with Dandelion missing, the popular bombshell at this time is Pucilla, whose stage name is "Callonetta".
Puscilla is outstanding in appearance, singing skills and literary talents. She wins a poetry contest in Novigrad and is courted by Dandelion.
However, according to Zoltan, Pucilla did not give up pursuing Dandelion due to the sudden huge attention... From this point of view, Dandelion did have a good vision.
Tonight at the Kingfisher Hotel, even though "two people" had just been burned alive during the day, the burnt smell did not dissipate so quickly, but it still did not prevent the place from being packed - because Pucilla was going to perform poetry here.
As soon as Geralt entered this magnificent place, Zoltan, who had just left next to him, suddenly came over and looked at Geralt: "Ah! Why are you standing there? Come on, let's find some seats to sit down. It should be soon. It’s about to begin.”
Just when Geralt was about to look around, a slender blonde woman wearing brightly colored clothes and a red poet's hat came to the performance table with elegant steps.
She first bowed to the audience seriously but lightly. Then he quickly came to the chair next to the performance table, picked up the lute placed on the performance table, and began to adjust it steadily.
At this time, Geralt also came to Zoltan, who had found a seat, and sat down with his elbows on his thighs.
At the same time, Puscilla, who was sitting on the chair, was also ready to adjust the lute, so she raised her legs as if she had a subconscious action, and then started to play the strings with her fingers.
After trying a few sounds and feeling that the tone was normal, a real melody began to sing at her fingertips...
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, um... um, um, um... um, um, um, um... um, um, um, um... um, um, um... um, um... um, um, um... Deng Deng..."
“These scars long have yearned for your tender caress. Touch my scars with your fingers.
To bind our fortunes, damn what the stars own.
…”
Following a piece of beautiful string music, the melodious and elegant female singing voice suddenly silenced the entire area under the stage... Even the communicator was synchronized and the wall was used as a projection screen while watching TV programs. Xie Yuan, who was playing Baduanjin by himself, had to stop slowly, then found a stool and listened carefully to the music coming from the projection.
"You flee my dream come the morning. In the early morning, you flee my dream.
Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet. Sweet like lilac, bitter like blackcurrant.
To dream of raven locks entwisted stormy.
Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep. Your purple eyes are filled with tears. …”
"Huh?!" Xie Yuan suddenly couldn't help laughing when he heard this... This... Why does this seem to be talking about the love life of Geralt and Yennefer?
And Pucilla's humming next confirmed this: "The wolf I will follow into the storm. I follow the wolf's mark deep into the blizzard to track your stubborn heart."
To find your heart, its passion displaced. Through anger and sadness
By ire ever growing, hardening into stone
Amidst the cold to hold you in a heated embrace I burn your lips swept by the wind..."
After Pucilla switched to the chorus again, Xie Yuan was absolutely 100% sure that this was telling the story of Geralt and Yennefer... Made, having a literary and artistic friend like a bard is like this Bad point - I always like to use the personal experiences of family and friends as material.
Otherwise, how could Pucilla, who didn't even know Geralt, know about a witcher and a sorceress? It wasn't Dandelion who broke the news.
But...it's true, with such a good material, if I were a literary and artistic worker, I wouldn't be able to help but use it - and thinking about it from another angle, if Geralt didn't have Dandelion, If you're bragging, where did you get such a big name? !
It can be said that one drink and one peck have their own destiny.
Let’s continue enjoying the music.
It has to be said that this elegant and lyrical love song has indeed attracted the favor of a large number of men and women who are crazy about men and women... or men and women who think they have been hurt by love. Even if they look at the inseparable men and women in front of Geralt... I am afraid that tonight will be inevitable. Have fun, hahaha!
“I know not if fate would have us live as one.
Or if by love's blind chance we've been bound. Or maybe it's just the God of Love who has no intention of inserting it.
The wish I whispered, when it all began.
Did it forge a love you might never have found? Did you fall in love with me against your will? "
"It is rumored that Yennefer and Geralt's fates overlapped because of the latter's last Dijing wish."
At some point, Margarita appeared next to Xie Yuan. Listening to these lyrics, she told Xie Yuan about the past of the Demon Hunter.
"However, even Geralt and Yennefer don't know whether their separation and reunification are due to their long-lasting love after years of getting along, or whether everything is just a love created by magic...it will change with the magic power. disappear and disappear."
"I'm afraid only they themselves will know." Xie Yuan heard this secret and really satisfied his thirst for knowledge, but he also knew that there was no answer to this question...the answer only lies in the choice of the person involved.
"Is there a woman you have a relationship with in another world?" Margarita suddenly asked while listening to music together.
"Yes." Xie Yuan answered sincerely, but he had to be sincere - not admitting some things means losing the courage to face them. "Every world I have been in basically has one - but a world basically has one." There is only one."
"Do they know your secret?" Margarita's expression remained unchanged and she asked another question.
"...They know part of my secrets." The question was so difficult to answer that Xie Yuan had to pause before giving a suitable answer, "But no one knows all my secrets."
"What do you think of me?" Margarita suddenly gave Xie Yuan a straight shot.
But Xie Yuan didn't answer, he just stared at her blankly. At this time, the music just stopped suddenly, and Xie Yuan noticed that the camera suddenly lifted up a lot... It should be Geralt who stood up and was about to clap.
Xie Yuan closed the link without thinking.
"What's wrong?" Margarita was surprised by Xie Yuan's sudden move.
"I just saw an acquaintance from Ginkgo Village, Geralt, the wolf master Vesemir, and I who handled disputes there - if nothing else, she will probably come to disturb the situation of this song... It's better not to let her down." Xie Yuan spread his hands.
"Well... you haven't answered my question yet." Margarita accepted the explanation, but quickly tilted her head to ask for an answer.
"I..." Xie Yuan was really stunned, but he did not know how to speak. "I don't know how to answer."
"Why?" Margarita was a little confused.
"My common language is not very good and I can't translate my description of you... Otherwise it can only be a line drawing, but the line drawing is too vulgar to describe you at all..."
"Hahaha, I don't even know how to say hello to you..."
Margarita was amused, paused for a while, and suddenly leaned forward to hold his hand: "Didn't you have a question about the application of magic in this world that you wanted to ask me last time? How about now?"
Seeing Margarita's hint, Xie Yuan's heart suddenly shuddered... As expected, it is always a man's nature to be attracted by lust, and he couldn't keep his own will as soon as he didn't care about the future response... Oh, I am ashamed. , ashamed.
But Xie Yuan didn't intend to refuse.
