Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 88: The Incompetent Guide
"I reached an agreement with those ladies, but it was not a sure thing."

On the third day after the negotiation at Duen-Kanaar, Lin You had left the Brochilon Forest and sailed down the Yada River in a small boat he had bought. Calculating the time, he would be able to enter the Yaruga River in half a day at most.

At this moment, he was lying on his back on the deck; everyone thought that the boy was sleeping with his eyes closed, but in fact he was communicating with God through a divine connection. However, only the two parties in the conversation could hear each other's voice.

"Just do the best you can. With this agreement in place, I have more reason to stop Odin and Dagda from interfering in the world of witchers." God's tone was praiseworthy, but the writer did not quite appreciate it.

Lin You was more concerned about another thing: "How did you trick them into agreeing to a conciliatory policy towards the demon hunter world? As far as I know, in the past, when they encountered such exorbitant demands, the other party was either kicked away or persuaded by physics."

"I didn't deceive them. I just honestly told them the importance and uniqueness of the demon hunter world. The worldview of 'Conjunction of the Celestial Spheres' has almost infinite scalability and inclusiveness. We can't find anything better than it, and there are very few that are even close. The gods were convinced by me."

"You may not be deceiving, but you are certainly not as honest as you say." The writer exposed God's cunning side with one sentence, "The gods must not know that a supreme god and a god of destiny will be born in this world. If they knew, I'm afraid they would not be so easily convinced."

A group of jackals will not fight to the death for a piece of bone, but that may not be the case if it is a piece of fat, fresh meat.

"So I have asked those ladies to keep it a secret. What you said to the outside world is that you want to study the nature of the chaos magic and special phenomena such as white frost in the demon hunter world, so that you can make targeted arrangements when modifying the world view in the future. In the big world, only I know your true mission."

The voice coming from the other side did not convey any embarrassment of being exposed.

"Now that you have done what you did, aren't you afraid that other gods will blame you after they find out?"

"I have never profited from it; and no pantheon can benefit from it either. Even if they are dissatisfied, what can they blame me for? Blame me for not handing the newly born God of Destiny to one of them?" God smiled indifferently.

“Haha… For the gods, it’s the best outcome if it falls into their own hands. If they can’t get it, then they can barely accept that no one else can get it.” Lin You laughed, and said with a warning, “Even so, there is no guarantee that every pantheon will be kept in the dark. The black hand that has been disrupting the Great World Plan from behind has not been found yet.”

"I will continue to monitor the Demon Hunter World, and those ladies will also provide assistance. Although their power is not as strong as that of an orthodox god, their strength is still considerable when fighting in the Demon Hunter World."

After getting the information he wanted, Lin You interrupted the conversation; the communication across the two worlds was extremely energy-consuming and could not be maintained for a long time with the current level of the Ophiuchus microuniverse.

The swaying of the boat drifting with the waves would make people unconsciously immersed in it and relax their bodies. So the boy still kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, and did not open his eyes immediately.

Until a female voice came from the stern: "The river mouth is ahead. We are about to enter the Yaruga River. Now you should tell me which direction to go?"

Lin You opened his eyes, slowly sat up, and saw the woman who had been controlling the rudder. There was a bow at the woman's feet, and several arrows were stuck on the side and the board of the boat - all within her reach.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties. She was wearing a light blue hunting suit, a short sword hanging from her waist, a leather bag slung over her shoulder, and a red leather waistcoat. Her long golden hair was tied up in a hood at the back.

Her name is Milva, and she is an assistant sent by the Queen of the Forest. When the writer decided to deeply intervene and destroy the accidental law of the white wolf and the swallow, Ms. Esna specially appointed her as a guide and assistant. "Milva is a brave and capable warrior, and also a shrewd spy; she will definitely be of help to you." This is what the Queen of the Forest said when introducing the two parties.

Of course Lin You knew this woman; she would be a member of the White Wolf's girl-hunting team in the future, one of the top sharpshooters in the original novel, a forest spirit in human form but with the heart of a forest, not a forest spirit.

During the raid on Styga Castle, this woman almost single-handedly suppressed a small enemy squad, and finally died together with an equally experienced and excellent enemy archer.

However, compared to military strength, Lin You values ​​this woman's ability to act as a spy more.

Milva had been wandering in the wilderness and forests since she was a teenager, and had extensive experience in surviving in the wild. After joining the forest elves, she used her human appearance to help the forest elves gather intelligence more than once, and even lured the human army that invaded the forest into a death trap.

In summary, this is a good helper who is familiar with the customs and culture of the north, has rich experience in survival and espionage, and possesses wisdom, courage and loyalty.

Of course, this good helper was not without flaws; her biggest flaw was that she would always subconsciously try to take the lead in the action. Because in the eyes of Ms. Milva, the Count Blaise de Forest whom she was ordered to protect was just a child of eight or nine years old.

Yes, due to confidentiality and other reasons, the Queen of the Forest did not let Milva know the whole story, including Lin You's true identity; therefore, this excellent female archer always thought that she was protecting a real nine-year-old boy.

Looking at the young woman who wanted to take on so much, Lin You decided to give her a difficult question: "I want to go south to the Golden Tower City, the capital of Nilfgaard. Do you know which route is the best?"

Milva was silent as expected. As a hunter who had been wandering in the northern wilderness and forests for many years, her understanding of the world was better than most women of that era—and even men—but it was limited to the northern lands north of the Yaruga River.

As for the world on the south coast, the most that people know is the Kingdom of Cintra, the "Shield of the North" located on the front line of defense against the invasion of the Southern Empire. The lands further south than Cintra basically only exist in the songs of bards.

"I only heard that ships can go directly to the City of Golden Tower. This is my only impression of that city." The female archer racked her brains but could only find such a little memory. She was extremely frustrated. She felt that she had really failed the important task entrusted to her by the Queen of the Forest.

Lin You smiled friendly and said, "So, we have to find another guide to help us make a travel plan to the south."

　First update

　　More than one book friend asked me if I would release more chapters.
　　All I can say is to post as much as I write every day, as much as possible.

　　Because I have used up all my drafts, the following content has an outline but no details. If I encounter some detailed settings that will last until the middle and later stages and take effect for a long time, I have to think about it for a long time before I can decide, so there will be fewer updates. If it is just ordinary plot advancement, then I will write faster and update more.
