The Fantastic Journey of the Void Mage

Chapter 480 It's More Painful To Live Than To Die
The inn that Geralt was talking about was actually not too far away, and the place of Waylon was sparsely populated due to the war, and Josh riding a griffin didn't cause any trouble.

It didn't take long for them to come to a small village at a crossroads. After jumping off the griffin, Josh patted it to let it move on its own, and followed Geralt into the hotel in front of him. .

At least this place is considered a populated place. Josh has had enough of seeing the corpses and monsters along the way, so he doesn't want these people to be scared enough by the griffin he caught.

However, Josh still found that there seemed to be no soldiers along the way.

"Speaking of which, isn't it already pitch dark here? We don't seem to have seen any soldiers along the way."

"Although this is the junction of the Three Kingdoms and a place where war crimes are chaotic, the Redanians are shrinking their defenses against Nilfgaard, while Temeria has already been defeated. Nilfgaard is because of its large territory and It needs to create a buffer zone with Redania, which is why it looks like this."

Geralt briefly talked about the situation here, and then opened the door of the hotel first. This hotel looked more deserted than the one in White Orchard Village, but Josh and the others didn't care about it, and walked straight towards the owner of the hotel. past.

"Masters, hello, do you need any help?" The hotel owner noticed Josh and his party and asked very politely.

"Thank you for the three glasses of wine, and I'm looking for Hendrik, have you heard of this man?" Geralt was very good at this, so he started asking.

"Of course, he lives in Heselton Village, just over the hills."

The boss nodded, and didn't deliberately hide anything or ask Josh and the others for some benefits. He said these things directly while getting the wine: "This kind of ghost place, only I can have a drink here. People often come to my place to drink, but it seems that they haven't come for many days recently."

"Is that so?" Geralt nodded, "Thank you very much for the information."

"It's nothing, and if you are looking for that drunkard, you may move faster. Last night, we also saw a strange white light appearing from there, maybe people from Nilfgaard attacked there."

"Okay, I know."

Geralt took out a coin from his pocket and put it on the table, while thinking about what the innkeeper had said.

Strange white light?What is that, magic?Could it be that Hantrick's identity has been exposed, and he was killed just as the boss said?

"It looks like it's a step late." Josh silently drank the glass of wine on the table that time, not caring whether the wine was inferior or not.

"Do you know who attacked him?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Wild Hunt should be passing by."

Of course it was Wild Hunting, which Josh can confirm, and Josh still remembers that this Hendrik was tortured.

But this guy was tough enough, Mao didn't even say a word, and was tortured to death by the Wild Hunt in a daze.

Geralt sighed, basically agreeing with what Josh said.

However, when he was about to say something, he suddenly found that the entire hotel was in a commotion. The guests who had been drinking screamed and ran out from the back door one by one. In the entire tavern, only the owner and Josh were left.

"What happened?" Geralt asked curiously.

"I advise you to escape through the back door." The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Although those gangsters seldom kill people, if you let them meet, your belongings will probably be emptied. Especially if you have a Such a pretty girl, if you don't hurry up."

The tavern owner shook his head and didn't finish the next sentence: "Here, they are more terrifying than those monsters. Those monsters may kill people directly and then eat them, but they will torture you slowly, and then make you You collapse, you better go away."

"Don't worry, those guys don't care. And, this time, I promise they will pay for the drinks."

Josh didn't care that much. Although he was very grateful to the boss, it would be a shame if he really left.

The shop owner opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, this group of soldiers pushed open the shop door imposingly, and when they saw the three calm-looking people inside the hotel, they immediately glanced at each other, and surrounded the three of them. up.

These guys looked very dirty, especially since they had a stench that didn't know how long they hadn't showered.

Their eyes were fixed on Josh and Shirley, eyes full of greed and desire, and of course the latter looked at Shirley.

"If you don't want to die, get out, it just so happens that my pet hasn't eaten in the past few days."

Geralt, who was about to say something, didn't even have time to speak, but Josh immediately found out.

Hearing such words, Geralt shrugged helplessly and shut up very simply. Since Josh had spoken, it was basically a foregone conclusion.

"Boy, it seems that you haven't recognized the reality."

It's obviously not Josh who recognizes the reality, and Josh is not the kind of guy who has been turned around for a long time.

Without talking nonsense to this soldier who seemed to be proud and seemed to have found his prey, and without giving him any chance to finish his declaration, Josh started directly.

No one could see clearly what was going on. The soldier fell to the ground without saying a word. He didn't even twitch completely, and he remained motionless as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

This situation directly made the remaining soldiers panic. They tried to say something, but Josh didn't give them this chance at all.

Soon they fell to the ground one by one, exactly like the first guy.

"You killed them just like that?"

Geralt asked a little speechlessly, he thought Josh would leave someone alive or something, just like the encounter with the Wild Hunt that time.But Josh seemed to have no intention of keeping alive at all, so he dealt with everything without mercy.

"Otherwise? Keep it and invite them to dinner? Or watch their performance? It's better to clean up this kind of impurities."

"Unfortunately, I still want to ask for some information."

"Do I need to summon their souls?"

"."

The study of souls in this world is actually quite powerful. For example, Keira will give Geralt a green light to see souls in the near future, and Yennefer summons useless souls.

It's just that their technology here is still limited, it's not as controllable as the mummy's world, and they can also try to resurrect.

Of course, this is due to the fact that there is a specialization in the art industry. The most special thing in the mummy world is the mummies who have been resurrected from the dead. The rules of that world basically revolve around the two Bibles. They are very good at this aspect. Nature is a matter of course.

Geralt didn't refuse Josh's proposal, so Josh simply got these dead guys out.

In fact, Josh himself was surprised, because Josh found that there seemed to be no such thing as the Styx in this world, and naturally there was no gate of hell.

But Josh was only a little surprised, recalled the game, and even this surprise disappeared.

Josh remembered that when he controlled Geralt to go to the Magic Tower, he was often frightened by the souls murmuring under the green light. They didn't seem to say that they were going to enter the River Styx.

"Maybe the lamp can penetrate the gap between life and death, and the effect is similar to that of the Lord of the Rings?"

Josh stroked his chin and thought about it. He decided that he must get Keira's magic lamp over and study it carefully.

Being in such a state is also a very good ability for Josh, so that he can quietly attack some difficult guys.

After Geralt got enough information from these guys' souls, they chose to leave.The owner of the hotel was already a little dazed by Josh and the others, so Josh didn't intend to give this good boss any more stimulation.

Josh and his team's target is now Hetherton Village. To be honest, the closer to the central area of ​​Weilun, the more damage this place can feel.

And they encountered many things along the way, such as monster attacks, and witnessed what some soldiers did.

The monster was easy to deal with, and Geralt didn't even need Josh to do anything to solve all the troubles.

But the actions of those soldiers gave Josh some warnings. At first, Josh thought that he would not be moved by such things, but in fact Josh found that he would still get angry when he saw these things. It will still be uncomfortable.

Especially when Josh and the others passed by a wooden house and saw the man whose head had been cut off outside the wooden house, and heard the desperate cries of the woman and the men making jokes inside the house, Josh's expression suddenly changed. all sink
"War is like this. No one likes war. You know, Lord Josh, this is why I envy your world, because your world is so peaceful and peaceful."

Geralt glanced at the majestic fire behind him, and within that fire was the cabin that made all kinds of noises before.

This world is indeed too chaotic, and the chaos makes people desperate. Josh can rescue the woman and kill all the soldiers this time, but what about next time?

"Actually, you should let that woman die together. She lost her husband, and now so many people have died. It will be very difficult for her as a woman."

"Indeed, maybe it will be very difficult, maybe I killed her by saving her. But, wouldn't it be good to be alive?"

"Your Excellency Josh, sometimes living here is more uncomfortable than dying."

"Maybe, I just did what I had to do."
