Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 84: Using the Demon Hunter World as a Filter

“The power of ‘fate’ is everywhere, yet it is so unpredictable; even if we borrow the blood of the ancients, even if the ‘law of accident’ between White Wolf and Swallow is at the center of the entire story world, we cannot really interfere with the operation of ‘fate’.”

The Lady of the Lake took over the words of the Queen of the Forest and continued to explain to the writer;
"All we can do is take a look. By peeking at the trajectory of Destiny, we can determine the state of this mysterious force - especially its state after it comes into contact with you."

Lin You asked thoughtfully: "Can I understand it this way; because the power of 'Destiny' is too strong, you can only watch but not move? You want to observe whether 'Destiny' has changed after coming into contact with an outsider like me, and what kind of changes have taken place?"

"Your Excellency understands it very well." The Fairy of the Lake continued, "Besides, because the power of 'fate' is too unpredictable, in order to capture its trajectory, we have to lead you to contact the Demon Hunter and the Princess of Cintra."

"So what are the results of your observations?"

"We discovered that the power of 'destiny' is still flowing like a river, instead of turning into stagnant water in a quagmire." The Lady of the Lake used a metaphor that fits His image and identity very well.

Lin You suddenly realized: "Are you afraid that the most mysterious and powerful force around you will be tamed by the big world, and this world will also be completely shackled by the big world?"

"Isn't it normal for us to have such concerns?" asked the Fairy of the Lake.

The writer smiled and did not deny it.

Whether playing the game or reading the original novel in the previous life, or doing a rough investigation before this trip, it is proven that the story of The Witcher belongs to the world of "high magic".

In this world, the power of chaos magic is everywhere; even an ordinary, weakest person who has never been exposed to magic in his life can instantly transform into an evil god or a demon under the influence of extreme emotions.

Things like daytime spirits and vampire banshees are all products of this kind.

As for the various extraordinary creatures that are born and raised naturally, they are too numerous to count. In order to eliminate the populations that pose a direct threat to human society, the demon hunters have specially developed various gadgets including "residual oil".

But perhaps it is because the chaotic magic has not appeared long enough and the impact it has caused is not great enough. Such a "high magic" world has not only never produced supreme gods like God and Chronos, but even true gods close to the level of Zeus and Odin have not been born.

Just as Gaunt O'Dimm had said to Lin You before, judging from the strength, the one in this world who is most qualified to negotiate on an equal footing with the big world is actually "Fate"; but the powerful "Fate" does not possess the godhood, and no god of fate like "Moirai" was born.

As a result, when the big world was preparing to merge with the demon hunter world, the big guys who came out to negotiate felt a little guilty. They felt that they were unsure of the prospects of this matter, and they did not have enough strength to protect their own interests after the merger.

What is even more embarrassing is the special way of fusion this time; because the "celestial sphere conjunction" type of semi-independent fusion is the first time in history, and it cannot ensure that the connection between the demon hunter world and the big world will remain close.

This was a completely new and somewhat improvisational attempt, and even God was unsure.

Because of the failure of the "First Great World Plan", almost all gods in the Illusory Dimension know that a failed fusion will cause the world to fall apart and suffer heavy damage. Therefore, the author must try to dispel the doubts of the gods present. "For this fusion, my suggestion is to treat you all as outsiders who came to the demon hunter world because of the 'celestial sphere conjunction'. Whether it is a conceptual god born from a certain concept like the Lady of the Lake, or a natural god like Lady Dana Mabe, find a source for you in the Great World. In this way, you and your world are connected to the Great World."

Lin You's suggestion has a solid and practical basis.

Meliteli is called "Freya" by the islanders of the Skellige Islands. The name alone is closely related to the Norse pantheon; Gaunter O'Dimm's style of doing things is even more consistent with the devil of hell in the Bible.

The Lady of the Lake is simply derived from the legend of King Arthur in Celtic mythology.

As for Dana Maebe and Esna, they can also find a place in different pantheons according to their respective ethnic origins.

"According to your suggestion, even if problems arise in this world we live in and we cannot establish a solid connection with the big world, we can still abandon this world and go to the big world alone to settle down?" Gaunt O'Dimm's eyes were blurred when he spoke, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

"That's exactly what I mean." Lin You nodded, "This is the sincerity that the Great World is showing to you all."

The author's words are easy to understand; regardless of whether the demon hunter world will suffer losses due to the fusion plan, your interests can be protected.

Using benefits to win over your negotiating opponents to become your own people is the easiest way to win a negotiation.

"This condition is indeed very good." Master Mirror, who was regarded as a fun-loving person, was the first to agree. To him, the demon hunter world was just a place to have fun. When necessary, he might be able to find some new fun by changing the place or the world.

Unfortunately, except for the devil, the other four ladies present did not respond to Lin You’s suggestion.

After a silent eye contact, Meliteli spoke: "Before this, the God of the Big World had a brief communication with us. From what He said, it seems that He has special arrangements for our world?"

Lin You pretended to be calm and said, "Yes. God hopes - or should I say it is the common hope of all the gods in the big world - to make the story of the demon hunter have a 'single-line connection' with the big world; in the future, only the demon hunter world can have a 'celestial rendezvous' with the big world."

"In that case, what about other stories that are very different from the Big World's time and space background?" Meliteli asked, "For example, The Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire. They are completely different from the time and space of the Earth and have never intersected. How can they be included in the Big World Plan?"

"We can do it through you." Lin You tried to deal with the biggest disagreement in the negotiation with a light tone, "Let them intersect with the Demon Hunter world's 'celestial sphere', and thus have an indirect connection with the big world."

"Oh, indirect connection?" Meliteli's tone was full of obvious sarcasm. "To be more precise, it is to use the world under our feet as a filter to help the big world filter out all potentially harmful things, right?"
