The Fantastic Journey of the Void Mage

Chapter 486 Entering the Hunchback Swamp
The Humpback Swamp is not strictly a swamp in Josh's memory, because the scenery of this ghostly place is not bad in Josh's opinion.

Because of Josh's quick-cutting style, a lot of stories are missing for the time being, and Geralt has no time to meet his old friend Keira.

But it doesn't matter anymore, Josh thinks it's better to help the baron get his wife done first.

"Probably, all I can look forward to is watching Keira take a shower, and then meet and read her magic notes, and kill some members of the Wild Hunt or something."

Josh, who was full of cranky thoughts, soon came to Valen Village with the big team. At this time, Josh suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the baron's daughter also didn't know about this because of his messing around. What are women doing now.

If Josh remembers correctly, the Baron's daughter joined that cult of Eternal Flame.

Josh really lacked any affection for that organization. Whether it was a small task that Josh accepted out of boredom or a large task later, it revealed that this church was really no different from a cult.

"Forget it, save it for the students to play with them. Remember they seem to be hunting witches? But the people they burned were not just witches, what a bunch of disgusting guys."

After thinking for a while, Josh didn't bother to think about them anymore. If he didn't provoke himself, Josh didn't plan to pay attention to them.

If he really provoked himself, then Josh would not be stingy and send them a perfect cremation, even the one with its own BGM.

"Josh, I've been to this place before." Ciri looked around and said suddenly.

"And then?" Of course Josh knew that Shirley had been here, it's not surprising, was it?

"I met three terrible witches here, they... I fled here after that, and then went to the baron."

"I know, these witches are not good things, and I know what to do."

These three witches are really not good things, and their behavior makes Josh disgusted.

These three witches gave Josh the feeling of evil, hypocrisy, good at turning black and white, like to hide behind the scenes and play tricks, and have a strong sense of revenge.

Whether it is to show people with the face of a young and beautiful woman, or to promote your kindness and kindness everywhere, it is disgusting.

Moreover, these three witches will also attack people, whether they are children or anyone else. They eat people at the banquet, and they have to change into their appearance to pretend to go on a long journey, and at the same time distribute human broth to the villagers.

Even Josh knew that the abortion of the baron's wife Anna had something to do with them.To put it bluntly, it is to use some ghosts and evil contracts at the same time, and use the method of abortion to forcefully enslave Anna for his own driving.

Of course, they did more than that, and the goblin named Johnny was also cursed for helping Anna.

As for Ciri, she was almost eaten by them when she met them, if it wasn't for these three witches who were worried about being retaliated by the Wild Hunt.

Even so, they still wanted to play some tricks, such as eating one of Ciri's legs.

If it wasn't for Ciri's wit and the solid training he received as a child, he probably wouldn't have had anything to do when he came back, let alone being inexplicably drawn into their world by Josh.

"At first I thought about leaving an opponent for my students, but think about it, it's better to kill them. Such a disgusting guy is particularly good at hiding and deceiving people. It's just as disgusting, and it's best to kill this kind of thing directly."

Of course it was the best, because Josh didn't go to the tree to fool around at all, so naturally there would be no one to help save those children.

Of course, it's not necessary, because Josh's quick cutting of the mess prevented Geralt from going too deep into the humpback mud, so naturally he didn't get in touch with Anna in advance, but only got some information from others.

That way, those kids should be fine.At least according to Josh's perception, those children are still alive and healthy, and they were not killed by the snacks in the middle, and then they were stuffed into the broken bamboo basket hanging on the witch's chest and eaten as food.

Just when Josh was thinking wildly, the group of them had already entered the humpback swamp all the way to the nearby Valen Village.

It took some time to find the village head of this village, and after asking for some relevant information, Geralt unexpectedly learned that Ciri had also been here before!
This made him ecstatic, and the baron was also very excited, because not only did he get information about his wife Anna, he even got information about his daughter by accident!

Because the village head said that there was a little girl looking for her mother, and her description fit the characteristics of the baron's daughter!

"That must be Tamara! Great! Great!" the baron said excitedly, but then he calmed down again: "But how could she be with the witch hunter? That's someone from the Church of Eternal Fire, It's Radovid's dog leg. Those guys are a bunch of heinous people."

"Neuropathy."

Josh directly opened his mouth to help the baron define it. In Josh's eyes, this group of people were already crazy, so he didn't care at all.

Even Josh knew that this group of guys were not very far away from him, and his words would definitely be heard, but so what?

"Yes, it's just a group of psychopaths!"

Although the baron was interrupted, he still agreed with what Josh said: "They are also a group of extreme religious fanatics. When they treat witches or heretics, they usually use their beliefs as an excuse to burn them to death. It's called purification."

Josh nodded, it was indeed a group of annoying fleas.Moreover, this group of guys is still a thorn in Emhyr's side. Nilfgaard's laws against superstition are, to a large extent, formulated to prevent the people of eternal flame from spreading in their territory.

"Come on, let's stop wasting time with these nasty psychos."

"please wait for a moment."

Just when Josh and the others were about to set off, the village suddenly called out.His voice also stopped Josh and his party. They were curious about what the village chief was going to do when he called them to stop.

"Excuse me, are you going?"

"Deal with those three witches? Yes, they are dead."

After thinking about it for a while, Josh immediately understood what the village chief meant. What the three witches did together was really chilling.

These villagers are likely to be the people who were kept here as food, and of course they may be used as sacrifices for various sacrifices.

"It's not easy to meet them, if you really plan to deal with them"

"You don't need to cut off your ears, thank you for your kindness, but you should also trust us, right?"

"But."

"If you come here without any ability, you will die. Do you think I am the one who sent you to die?"

After speaking, Josh turned his head and left. In his perception, he had already locked on the three old witches.

If they dare not show up, then Josh will use magic to find them. In a word, they are the ones who are dead or can't escape!
All the way forward, it is not so peaceful.The main reason is that there are a large number of water ghosts living in this area. The water ghosts have a humanoid body, blue skin, and webbed hands and feet. They have a terrifying appearance and can spray venom from their mouths.

To be honest, Josh really doesn't know how this thing was formed, and of course he is not interested in studying it.

The main reason is that these things are so disgusting. As for Josh, there is no need to take action against these things. The soldiers brought by Geralt and the baron can easily handle them.

Geralt was the main combat power. As an excellent witcher, he had seen many water ghosts, and dealing with these water ghosts might be easier for him than killing people.Pull out the silver sword, and then hit the vulnerable parts of these water ghosts, these water ghosts immediately died suddenly on the spot.

His efficiency is so fast, the silver sword has unique runes, and he has oiled it and drank the potion before the battle. These bloody things are either dead or maimed by Geralt's touch.A large group of water ghosts basically died under Geralt's sword without even surviving for a minute.

It's a pity that the baron's men were not so lucky. After all, they were not professionals and their weapons were all steel swords, so they were not as calm as Geralt when fighting against water ghosts, and even injured many people , This makes the baron absolutely very ashamed.

"Did you do a good job, Geralt?" Josh said to Geralt with a smile when he saw that the battle was over.

"It's okay, but if you do it, I'm afraid it will be faster." Although Geralt was also very satisfied with his combat efficiency, he still looked indifferent.

"Probably, but I'm worried that something like accidental injury may occur, so let's forget it."

"To be lazy is to be lazy, why bother to find such a high-sounding reason?"

"If you don't even find a reason, I'm afraid you also have to worry about whether I will leave at any time, right?"

"you guy"

Geralt shook his head, God knows what else Josh would say, so he just stopped talking.

Cleaning up these water ghosts was very easy for him, but the wounded soldiers were also difficult to deal with. Geralt was wondering whether to treat them or just leave.

"The ones who are not injured will go with me, and the injured ones will go back to Valen Village and wait for us. What a bunch of useless waste!"

The baron could see Geralt's embarrassment. He really felt very ashamed, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't let these soldiers get off his feet, could he?

"I think, after you go back, you should really improve the quality of these soldiers. If this continues, I'm afraid the place you control will fall sooner or later."

"I know, thank you, Mr. Witcher. But let's find Anna and Tamara as soon as possible. I will take care of these things when I go back."
