"If it's Willen, then it's understandable that this area looks so desolate......"

Smiling reluctantly, Ciri looked around.

"But I remember that the situation was really critical that time, your health was so bad that we didn't allow us to do another time travel, but we didn't have any antidote, and we were almost blocked by them."

“……”

“……”

The witcher nodded, remembering the thrill vividly, and then he frowned—

"I remember that it was also the Mirror Master who sent the antidote, and said that someone had asked him to help...... What the hell is that demon trying to do? ”

"I don't know, no one knows what rules the mirror master demon follows, maybe he just wants to watch a show." Ciri shook his head, in this long cycle of nightmares, although they failed again and again, they were not without other gains.

It's just that the two of them still don't know much about the demon of the mirror master, but they know that the demon looms in the thousands of years of history on this planet, and there is his shadow behind many things.

Demon.

Refers to those beings from other planes or worlds that can exist in their own form or possess animals or sapient beings. There is a spell that summons demons called "evokemonism", or "demonic knowledge", which is a spell that is strictly forbidden by both priests and warlock fraternities.

The name demon does not refer to a single species or race, but rather a general term for a group of creatures that share common characteristics, as each of them is very different from each other.

So the Mirror Master is also considered a demon, and his power is so powerful, so powerful that it is incomprehensible, to an incredible degree-

In comparison, the other demons that have appeared on this planet seem to be younger brothers in front of the Mirror Master. There is a difference in rankings, and there is no difference in weakness.

However, for the two of them, the mirror master has helped them many times, and they don't know why. Just as Geralt had told them to be, their plan failed, and they eventually fled to the remote countryside of Willen.

And because Geralt's physical condition at that time happened to be very bad, he couldn't withstand the time travel again, but they didn't even have the antidote at that time, and before the two of them could find a solution, they were caught up by the "enemy".

Of course, the so-called enemies are actually themselves in that time and space, as well as familiar relatives and friends, and so on.

However, considering the situation of the two at that time, it was indeed an enemy, after all, for the people of that time and space, they were evil, unknown, and unknown existences who had traveled through time.

Add to that the fact that they often pretend to be well-known witchers and heirs of the Nilfgaard Empire to stir up the world, spread rumors, steal state power, and create conflicts - at least in the eyes of others.

Therefore, they are undoubtedly absolute evil, the kind that must be thoroughly cleaned up.

And at the last critical moment, when they were about to be killed by themselves, the Mirror Master suddenly appeared again and sent an antidote, allowing them to successfully break the desperate situation and escape.

……

……

The two talked for a while, collected their minds, and continued walking towards the hill ahead.

Because there are fields and forests on both sides, although the lush vegetation and vegetation can confirm that this time and space does not seem to have suffered the baptism of natural disasters, but also because this place is too barren and desolate, as if no man's land-

Therefore, they can't confirm the time background after this time crossing for the time being.

Now that Geralt had a guess that the village of Hatherton was behind the hill, they only needed to confirm it, and once they knew such a location, they could confirm where they were and make a plan for the next step.

The two of them climbed over the hill and saw the silhouette of a slightly familiar abandoned village appear in the distance.

It is a burned down village, most of the houses are in ruins, only a few buildings have survived, and the entire village site is surrounded by clumps of weedy vegetation, as if a whimpering cry was heard when the mountain wind blew.

Faintly, it is like the bitter wails and resentment curses of the villagers who have been hunted and tortured, and generally this kind of place is the most prone to rumors of haunting, but in fact it is often not just rumors.

Because such a place is indeed very likely to give birth to all kinds of demon spirits, and even if they are not naturally generated, some dirty things from outside tend to like to entrench in such dilapidated and desolate places with extremely heavy yin qi.

"It's really Hatherton, it looks like we're back in Willen......" The witcher narrowed his eyes and looked at the deserted village in the distance, not knowing what was in mind, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

At this moment, Ciri, who was beside him, suddenly covered his mouth and let out a low exclamation, and he also felt the vibration of the witcher badge on his chest!

The Witcher's Emblem is a silver amulet that all Witchers possess, made in different shapes to represent the different schools to which the Witchers belong.

And the badge is not only a symbol of the Witcher's class, it is also an important tool for the Witcher, with a variety of very useful functions. The main effect is that as soon as there is a magical environment around it, the emblem can immediately sense it, vibrate and jerk on the chain that hangs it.

This alerts the wearer to a spell that has been cast nearby, or that there is a magical illusion or magical creature present, giving the wearer an early warning of sudden magical danger and giving them additional reaction time.

The two of them immediately lay down and used the grass and trees on the hill to cover their figures.

Almost the next moment, they saw a glowing vortex appear in the air on the top of the hill opposite, emitting violent fluctuations of magical energy...... This is a warlock using teleportation.

Soon, from the whirlpool of light, there were figures on the opposite side coming out one after another and appearing here.

Because the distance is not very far, Geralt and Ciri can see clearly, it is clearly a figure they are familiar with!

- White wolf with white hair with two swords on his back, Geralt of Livia......

- Viselmir, an old witcher who also carried two swords on his back, was strong and tall, but already showed his old appearance......

- Sorceress dressed in a black and white outfit, with violet eyes and jet-black hair, Yennefer......

- Triss, a sorceress with long, chestnut hair that contrasts with Yennefer's appearance in an interesting way......

There were many other familiar figures, as well as black-clad Nilfgaard Imperial soldiers, who were solemnly and cautiously arrayed, scattered in all directions, as if preparing to encircle the village of Heatherton.

And the people at the head were also solemn, staring at the deserted and dilapidated village with murderous eyes.

“……”

“……”

For a moment, the air seemed to be dead silent.

The two of them felt that their hearts were about to stop beating, and they themselves did not expect how much their hearts would be shocked when they witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

With a fear deep in his heart that cannot be described in words, Ciri stared blankly at the scene in the distance and muttered to himself:

Geralt ...... You say, is there a third me and you who are hiding in that village, helpless because there is no antidote? ”

The moment these words fell, Geralt noticed that his heart was beating wildly.

A terrible flash of inspiration made him seem to have insight into some crazy truth.

It's like the Mirror Master once said that it was Ciri who commissioned him to take the witchers to the underground mausoleum of the White Orchard, but Ciri himself had no impression. Considering that the Mirror Master should have no reason to hide in this matter, he has always been puzzled.

Until now, after witnessing this crazy scene, he suddenly discovered that at this time, this time and space, plus themselves, may exist three pairs of Geralt and Ciri at the same time!

"Only...... There is only one way to prove it. A murmuring voice came from the witcher's mouth, and he whispered a name, "Gunt Odim......

“……”

“……”

There was silence for a while, nothing seemed to happen, and they didn't know if they were nervous or relieved.

But in the next moment-

"What's the matter? Although you have never paid me anything, I will not be stingy to help you, considering that your commissions are always so interesting. ”

A hearty, familiar voice came from behind the two, with a hint of teasing banter.

Geralt and Ciri's bodies stiffened, and they turned their heads slowly, and then they saw the Mirror Master appear behind them at some point, with his hands on his chest, looking at them for a long time.

At this moment, both of them seemed to have lost their ability to think and speak at the same time, and they just stared blankly at the demon that appeared in front of them, their eyes and expressions completely frozen.

"Since you need some time to digest, I'll give you that time...... Let's finish your commission first. ”

The Mirror Master stepped forward with a smile, squatted down beside Geralt, rummaged through the latter's medicine box, and then took out a white honey potion from it, and disappeared directly into the air.

About half a minute later, he reappeared, but the antidote in his hand was gone—

"Alright, don't worry...... you've managed to get out of danger again." The mirror master said with a smile, looking helpful and enthusiastic.

“……”

“……”

"What the hell is this...... What's going on? Ciri looked straight at him, then opened her mouth to ask, her voice distorted from trembling, her heart as if it had been driven into an ice pick.

The cold made her feel as if her whole body was frozen, and at this moment it was so stiff that it seemed as if the blood in her whole body had stopped flowing.

"Didn't you already guess that?"

The mirror master said with a smile, he raised his palm, and the two of them immediately noticed that the scenery changed instantly, and the surrounding space was shattered like mirror glass, which was stripped of the hypocrisy of reality.

An ominous light overflowed, centered on the location of the three of them, and the fragmented spatial mirror was like a shattered mirror, presenting countless different scenes around it.

It's like the unpredictable ocean in the storm, the surging currents never end, and the dark and deep water reflects countless identical but different scenes, the scenes of Geralt and Ciri traveling through time again and again-

Ciri, who was crowned Empress of the Nilfgaard Empire......

Geralt, who received the knighthood and entered the system......

Try to support the two of them in the Warlock and Witcher classes......

Two people who plotted to uproot the nobility of the Nilfgaard Empire......

The Empress who was overthrown and ousted from the throne......

Regarded by familiar people as a demon hunter besieged by evil......

The two of them don't know if they see an illusion in it that shouldn't exist, as if what they do in an infinite number of historical scenes is presented like a frozen and realistic oil painting.

Some of them are not even remembered!

The fragments of the scene, like shattered mirrors, zigzagged around them to reflect infinite fragments of fate, intertwined in the storm into a huge and terrifying spiral that sank into the sky.

"See? Possibilities that should have been parallel to each other, branches that will never intersect, and the world processes that are heading towards the future have become a great vortex with you at the center......"

The Mirror Master's voice became elated like never before, as if a collector had seen a work of art that had never been seen before.

"Because you keep restarting time, and in the process of traveling through time and changing history for the same reasons and purposes, you have carved out many new branches of the original timeline and twisted them into a spiral......"
