Is it all worth it? And for what?

What is illusory, what is real, is the hope they have really like a dream, really not supposed to have it?

Human ethics is nothing but order, the first is justice, and deprivation is evil. From this point of view, it seems that rebellion against the end of human destruction and the history written by the undead is the most correct thing to do.

After all, only the living can make history, and the time of the dead has long stopped.

But if neither Geralt nor Ciri have any knowledge of the future, then which historical thread is the state in which the world should appear? Do they take it for granted?

However, for these such profound questions, whether it is Geralt or Ciri, they basically don't have the extra energy to think about it.

For them, every crossing is almost a new beginning, and they try to seize every opportunity to stifle the soil for the growth of the "Bright Sky Disaster", the space for development, and save the world from the dire waters of the future.

The witchers used all their experience and tried everything they could, and Ciri also used all his advantages, even trying to dominate the continent by ascending to the throne and becoming the empress of the Nilfgaard Empire.

In different historical periods, the situation on the mainland has been tense or has been torn apart, and the flames of war have been turbulent......

They had seen the plague spread, the corpses strewn across the wilderness, and the terrible sight of not a single living person for thousands of miles from the city to the countryside; I've also seen the desperate apocalypse of hoarfrost, blizzards covering the skies, and the entire planet frozen into lifeless ice......

They are doing different things in different historical periods, in different capacities, and trying to save the end of the world and prevent the generation of natural disasters through different methods-

Not only did Ciri ascend the throne and become the empress, but even Geralt entered the system many times, won the title of knight many times, and even entered the army incredibly and took charge of the military......

They also have many identities and experiences, such as merchants, lords, scholars...... And so many others they don't bother to recall, or simply don't remember the identities and corresponding experiences.

Some of the experiences seemed funny, and they were another part of their life that they hadn't experienced......

Some experiences are boring and require them to stick with them for years......

Some experiences give them the motivation and confidence that the world is so beautiful that it shouldn't come to an end......

Some of these experiences have taken a toll on their minds, leaving them almost stumbling and even wondering if their actions are necessary......

Either way, they've already taken this path, and it's too late to regret it. The two of them are not blind to any hope, they feel that there are always more ways than difficulties, once it doesn't work, twice, two times if it doesn't work......

And in addition to Ciri's accession to the throne as the empress of the Nilfgaard Empire, bringing peace through state-level regulation, Geralt also made a series of hands-on efforts.

Not only did he become a knight many times, he entered the army, but he did the most dirty work such as assassin killers.

The main thing is to eradicate the nobles in the Nilfgaard Empire for Ciri, so that there is only one voice in the country, after all, Ciri advocates peace and eliminates war, and others may not be willing to do this-

What's more, if the empress still advocates all kinds of humane measures against the people at the bottom, she wants to eliminate exploitation and class antagonism and harm the interests of the nobles, which is often a big taboo.

So after almost being assassinated by the aristocracy for the first time, which led to Ciri being ousted from the throne, not to mention, and almost seriously injured, so that all the efforts of the two of them fell short, they learned from the pain and understood that the so-called aristocracy is actually something that can't be changed by dogs.

It is enough to think of the fact that the kingdom of Temeria was invaded by the Nilfgaard Empire, and the nobles in its country were busy dividing and dividing the interests of the country, like vultures eating carrion from corpses.

- The so-called aristocracy, most of which are useless, will become a major obstacle and stumbling block on the road to saving the world.

After that, the two made up their minds to often kill these dogs who couldn't change their, anyway, as long as they were in the way to save the world, then they would directly strike first and kill those elites.

It's just that......

In order to save more people, it was not a good decision to choose to kill countless people first.

So they also suffered defeat after failure, and it was a little desperate to find that the influence of the elite class was so deep-rooted. And their actions cause huge shocks, lead to national order turmoil, and then often stigmatize......

- As for what the result will be, it basically goes without saying.

In addition, Geralt and Ciri have also tried to use the power of mages and witchers to try to revitalize the two classes in order to solve the problem.

After all, 1,500 years ago, humans first appeared on this continent when they crossed the sea during the confluence of the celestial spheres.

It is only by relying on the protection of powerful warlocks that people who are helpless can they gain a firm foothold, and give full play to the extremely fertile and adaptable characteristics of their own race, and after multiplication, they can learn the culture, art, science, magic, tactics, medicine, and even clothing of other racial civilizations.

Eventually, humanity became stronger, growing on the continent and consolidating its position. He then invaded other regions, conquered the territory of the elves, and forced the dwarves back to the caves in the Mahakan Mountains, where they nearly exterminated all kinds of large monsters.

As a result, he continued to expand his kingdom, becoming bigger and stronger, and finally formed a human hegemony that dominated the world.

Even the dragons that once ruled the continent were hunted to the point of extinction by the original demon hunters created by the ancient warlocks, so if these two classes were revitalized, it might be possible to curb the source of the natural disaster once and for all.

Of course, ideas are often beautiful, but reality is often cruel......

And just as every method is likely to bring bad results, many times they will even be regarded as the greatest evil by the "self" in that time and space, and will be ruthlessly targeted and resisted.

But they themselves often can't explain it, simply like Ciri made up her mind to become an empress, there was also a Ciri in the original world, what would the latter think about the unfamiliar behavior of the extra "self"? It must have thought that there was some kind of evil conspiracy, right?

Maybe it's some kind of inhuman race like shapeshifters, maybe it's some mysterious force that uses the power of magic to steal the power of the empire by forging the identity of the heir of the Nilfgaard Empire......

Anyway, as long as it's a normal person, it's like that, right?

So many times, Geralt and Ciri's plans are often stopped by "them" themselves!

- This cannot but be said to be the worst joke of fate.

And the failure after failure, or by the Scourge Legion who also traveled through time, or by the people of the current time and space who oppose and overthrow, they no longer believe in such a thing as fate, and gradually feel that such a life is really meaningless......

……

……

"The world...... What time period is it in? ”

After a numb walk above the bleak wilderness, Geralt sighed, and he asked as he tried to collect his emotions.

At the beginning, I was still in the mood to record the time travel that the two of them had experienced, and the number of changes they made to save the fate of the world...... But then, wandering in the cycle of this nightmare so much that he no longer had the strength to keep track of it.

Repeating, repeating, staying, leaving, again and again, as if there was never an end, the witcher was exhausted, and if he didn't have to take care of Ciri, he would have given up.

Unwilling?

Wrath?

Despair?

Maybe it's both, maybe it's nothing, anyway, he feels that his emotions seem to be about to be worn out, and only insensitivity remains, which is the mechanism of the brain's subconscious to protect his mind intact.

If there is any feeling, it is probably that he began to wonder if this road really has an end, whether it can really be passed, and whether he and Ciri really have to persevere......

"I don't know, unless we meet a town or a living person, otherwise, it's hard for us to confirm the time period we are in now......"

Ciri looked up, her emerald green eyes looked a little dull, and she muttered to herself as if it had taken a long time for her to react.

Both of them are actually very tired, and they don't want to continue, but they can continue to hold on because of each other's existence. As long as the other person doesn't say give up first, they themselves will continue.

"That's ......"

Geralt sighed, looking ahead and not knowing what he was thinking.

Ciri smiled reluctantly, turned his head and said, "I found a pattern, our time travel seems to be going backwards all along, maybe just a day earlier than the last time, or a few days earlier......"

"So if we keep going like this, we'll succeed sooner or later, won't we?" Geralt smiled bitterly and sighed again, "I hope so, I always feel that this is not the way to go." ”

The witcher looked at the surrounding scenery, but his eyes gradually became puzzled: "Why do I think this place seems to be a little familiar?" ”

"Really? So where do you think this is? Ciri asked, a little hopeless, looking weak.

"It looks like Willen, and the hill ahead is ......," the witcher frowned and pointed ahead. If I'm not mistaken, the village of Hatherton should be behind the hill. ”

"What village?" The girl asked weakly.

"Heatherton Village, when I came to you a long, long time ago at Enhill's request, the first stop on my way to Willen was that village, because there was a spy named Handrick there......"

Geralt struggled to recall what seemed to be a memory from a long time ago, and the whole person seemed a little trance for a while.

"But by the time I arrived, he had been slaughtered by the hunt, and the village had been burned down by the hunt. And have you forgotten, you've been there before......"

“……”

“……”

Seeing Ciri's confused expression, the witcher explained, "It must be the first time, you were ousted from the throne, and both of us were hunted down...... Hunted down by us "ourselves", we later fled to an abandoned village in Willen. ”

The girl's face suddenly became a little ugly, it was not an interesting memory, she was obviously trying to save the world, but in the end she had to be overthrown by the person she wanted to protect, and even hunted down by someone familiar.

Although we understand them, being able to understand them does not mean that we can accept them.

Think about the evil scene when the old witchers Viselmir, Triss, Yennefer, and even Geralt and herself raised their swords against her to kill her......

The reason why the two of them feel tired, numb, and slumped is largely because of such things.
