The Fantastic Journey of the Void Mage

Chapter 494 It's a Big Loss
"What are you doing, Ciri?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and don't think I don't know what that woman is thinking. Besides, didn't you see she took a notebook?"

"Of course I saw it. I've told Geralt about it. He knows what to do, but what's wrong?"

"Nothing! If you look like you, go!"

Looking at Shirley's picture, Josh really has a headache, and he doesn't seem to have done anything harmful, right?I just want to try something new, why now I look like I am not a human being.

Well, to some extent, Josh is indeed not a human being now.

But Josh doesn't want to worry about these things, and he doesn't bother to worry about them. It's not a big deal if you don't go. Anyway, compared to Keira, Josh still thinks that Ciri is more in line with his own concept of saving beauty.

Although Ciri is now covered by Josh's magic, and her appearance has completely changed into Daenerys's appearance, but this is Josh's own magic.

Josh can completely see the real person through this magic, so what Josh sees is always the real Ciri.

After Geralt finished Keira—not directly, of course, the three of them set foot on the road to Novigrad.

To be honest, the closer they got to Novigrad Josh, they felt a strong religious atmosphere.

This atmosphere is very fanatical, but in fact Josh knows very well that these guys have no faith at all!
To be precise, there is no object of belief, what they believe in is just some illusory things, and they define these things as fire!

what is fireA sacred object that gives humans the light in the dark, and transforms humans from animals into a sacred object that is truly human!
There is nothing wrong with believing in fire. Josh thinks that things are a gift from nature to human beings, but the problem is that their beliefs are actually very problematic.

They just use 'I believe in these sacred and eternal fires', and then crazily seize power for themselves.

Of course, this is the practice of those high-level members of the Eternal Flame, while most of the guys living at the bottom are just joining for the sake of making a living. These people have all kinds of roles.

As for such a thing that looks like a cult, it can spread wildly in Novigrad, and even start to take more fanatical violent actions-capturing the warlocks in the whole city, sending them to the stake, and burning them Academic books deemed harmful.

The support of one guy is indispensable here, that is King Radovid V of Redania.

In the case of Emhyr's strong invasion, Radovid V strongly needs support from all aspects, and among them, the Eternal Flame, which is like a cult, has also become the target of his wooing.

Of course, the reason why Eternal Flame rejects heretics is also indispensable.Radovid V was jealous and hated the sorceress, which was also related to his somewhat miserable childhood. He was raised by a sorceress when he was a child.

Then the sorceress left a deep and indelible impression on him. Even when he succeeded to the throne, almost all the nobles did not obey his orders, but obeyed the sorceress who raised him. This made Radovid V hate this kind of person who has mastered magical power.

Now that the Eternal Flame has done many things that he dare not do now, then Radovid V will naturally support them and even indulge them!
It is because of this that the current Novigrad has become a hell on earth, a hell with order but chaos.

"To be honest, I still think it's better for this guy Emhyr to rule. Although he is very cruel to the outside world, at least he can treat his own people. Look at these guys from the Flame of Eternal Scar. It's the 'I think you're a heretic and you are' look, which is disgusting."

"It's true to say that, but the question is, can you simply burn them to death? My ears are really tormented after screaming for a long time."

Sitting near a tavern that was about to arrive in Novigrad, Josh sat on the griffin boredly, watching the howling guy not far away who was burned by the pale golden flame, but he couldn't die.

Geralt, on the other hand, had an annoyed expression on his face, and the screams of those burned and dying people were even more uncomfortable than the strange ghosts he had encountered.

"Don't they believe in the fire of eternal marks? Wouldn't it be good for me to give them more faith?"

"Could you burn their vocal cords as well, so at least I'll feel better, or you could just cast a soundproofing spell on me too?"

"Okay, okay, let's go."

"Should have left long ago."

Josh glanced at these guys indifferently, directly increased his magic power to turn them into dust, and then turned and left.

Speaking of which, these guys are also used to being arrogant. First, because Ciri's current appearance made them fantasize, they were beaten up by Ciri.

Josh, who originally thought that this was the case, didn't expect that they would find someone to come over directly, and even declared that they were heretics in the name of Josh riding a griffin and wanted to deal with them.Well, to put it simply, he planned to capture Josh back and burn him alive.

Hearing their nonsense, Josh was directly annoyed and amused by them, so Josh simply let them experience what it felt like to be burned alive.Of course, this process was slowed down countless times by Josh, otherwise they might turn into ashes when they touched those flames, and Josh didn't want to take them so cheaply.

"Speaking, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to visit my old friend Triss, she may know some news about Ciri."

"Wow, isn't it your old lover? Don't look at me like that, man, I can understand, and I don't want to take care of your business.

How about this, you go to your old lover, I will take Dani to find a tavern, take this, enter the magic power and you can find us. "

"I understand."

Geralt took Josh and handed over the crystal to put him away, then turned and left. As for why Josh didn't say how to find himself?
Geralt didn't need to worry about this, he believed very much that if Josh wanted to, he would be able to find him naturally, even if Novigrad was very big.

Seeing Geralt turn and leave until he disappeared from sight, Ciri turned to Josh and asked, "What's next? Where are we going?"

"Of course I need to find a place to rest. To be honest, you will soon be able to use your real identity. How does it feel?" Josh smiled slightly: "By the way, do you know where the Vanilla Tavern is?"

"Yes, come with me." Ciri nodded, and then began to walk towards the direction she remembered, saying as she walked, "As for my feeling? Geralt is a good father, and you More like a hooligan."

"Hey, why do I look like a hooligan?"

"Aren't you tempted by Keira's invitation? Don't think I don't know what will happen to you. Although it has nothing to do with me, I always feel disgusted."

"Really? Well, dear Ms. Ciri, didn't I give up because of your words?"

"Ha, didn't you go if I didn't say anything?"

Ciri gave Josh a blank look, then shook her head.Novigrad is still the same as the Novigrad in my memory, with hopeless chaos in this order. Although the city is very peaceful and peaceful, the fact is that this place is undercurrents.

The Eternal Flame led their dog-legged witch hunters to frantically target all the warlocks in the city, even the herbalists.

At the same time, there are so many gangsters here, they control a lot of territory and at the same time protect the magicians of Novigrad to a certain extent.

Of course, their actual purpose is well known-to put it bluntly, they want to gain control of this land with the help of these magicians, even if it is underground control!Of course, they can be regarded as making further efforts to overthrow the Church of Eternal Flame.

"Josh?" Ciri suddenly called out while walking.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Josh looked at the girl suspiciously.

"Were you joking last night?"

"Last night, kidding? Oh, of course not."

"Are you sure? Don't you think they're ugly?"

"Of course, I even think they have a very special charm."

Josh smiled, he knew what Ciri was talking about.Last night, in the elf cave, Josh once said that he prefers girls with scars.Although it was said that Josh was molesting Ciri at the time, in fact Josh gradually felt the same way.

In particular, these scars on Ciri's body do have an indescribable charm.

These scars are the testimony of her own desperation, and they are also the traces left by her when she fled day and night. These injuries seem very scary, but they prove the strength of a girl.

"Charming?" Ciri smiled, and then looked at Josh with a special look: "What if I let you meet them?"

"what?"

It is impossible for Josh not to hear Ciri's words, but now Josh is savoring the meaning behind Xili's words.Although Josh felt that he was very attractive, he didn't think he could attract this strong girl so quickly.

Then her words will naturally have the meaning she should have. Josh doesn't like to figure out people's hearts, but it doesn't mean that Josh can't understand.

To put it bluntly, Ciri is really disappointed in this world, and coupled with the promise she made to Josh before, her departure from this world is basically a fait accompli fact.

And the conversation between Josh, Geralt, and even Vesemir was never hidden from Ciri, so Ciri naturally knew that the witcher might not stay here.

Coupled with the persecution of the Eternal Flame, the outcome of the Civil War is still unknown. Under Josh's call, it may be natural for those magicians to leave with Josh.

Moreover, Josh often teases Ciri intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Ciri develop a concept of "Josh has ideas about himself", coupled with Muya's concept of marriage and "in order to let the people of this world live in another world." better', that's why Ciri said it.

Josh couldn't laugh or cry after he figured it out, he put his hands on Ciri's shoulders, and whispered regardless of the girl's unnatural appearance:
"Okay, I'll take a good look at it tonight. Also, if I don't do this, I'll treat everyone who goes to my territory well, little idiot."

"!!!"
